Chapter Twelve

Thursday morning dawned bright and beautiful, making it easy for Teddy to shake off his bad mood of the past few days. Unlike most normal days, he was eager to get out of bed. He couldn't wait to see Parker's reaction to the activities he'd set up for the day.

Rather than lazing around in bed, he got up. Parker's door was closed, so he knew his friend was still sleeping. Not willing to waste any time, he called room service to have breakfast---and coffee--- delivered. Then he dressed in swim trunks and a t-shirt and went into the living room to wait.

Fifteen minutes later, there was a soft knock on the door. "Room service."

Teddy answered the door and tipped the waiter. He was about to go knock on Parker's door when his friend appeared in the doorway, wearing only a pair of low-riding shorts and a sleepy expression. There were creases from his pillow on one cheek, and one side of his hair was mashed down.

Teddy couldn't help grinning at the sight. Despite their closeness over the years, he rarely got to see Parker like this. Over the past few days he'd seen Parker crabby and tired a couple of times, but he didn't find that annoying. It reminded him his seemingly perfect friend was a mere mortal after all.

After a jaw-cracking yawn, Parker made his way to the table and sat down. "Breakfast. Thanks."

"Have some coffee." Teddy poured them each a cup, nearly bouncing in his seat once more when he thought about the day ahead.

A little moan jerked him out of his thoughts. Parker was sipping his coffee, eyes closed, expression blissful. "God, this place makes good coffee."

The small sound, and his friend's expression, hit him the wrong way somehow. Suddenly feeling twitchy, he jumped out of his seat and went to look out the glass door. His heart was racing as if he'd been running. What the hell? Confused and uncomfortable, he remained silent.

"What are we doing today?"

Relieved to have a subject to discuss, he seized on it. "It's a surprise."

"I hate surprises."

He knew that, of course. Super-organized Parker had never been a fan of unexpected events, but Teddy liked to spring them on him on occasion, just to keep him on his toes. He grinned. "You'll like this one."

"How am I supposed to get ready if I don't know what we're doing?"

He snickered at Parker's petulant tone. "Wear swim trunks and a t-shirt. You'll be fine, you big baby."

The other man scowled. "This had better be good, Christopher."

Teddy only smiled, undeterred. They were going to have a great day.
