CHAPTER 11

Brian kissed Blaise, his firstborn, on his cute, button nose, then released him from the safe cradle of his arms. “He soooo got that from you, babe.” He gave his husband an amused look, shaking his head. “I mean, only you have the talent of asking questions that are smart, embarrassing, and hilarious at the same time.”

“Excuse me?” Bart exclaimed, feigning shock. “I didn't put him there by myself, you know. Last time I checked, his papa was a smart-ass librarian.” He flashed a grin in his soulmate’s direction.

Brian shrugged, returning the grin. “My bad, smol bean, I thought I was only an ugly chick…or so someone I won’t name said.”

“Um...a... what?” Albert almost choked on his lemonade. “And who was the asshole calling you that horrible name?”

“He called Bart a snot. Bart said he hated him.” Julien answered in a flat voice, pointing to the librarian. “Bart hated me, too. And Elias. And everyone else.” The blond young man shrugged, the shadow of an amused smile playing on his pink, full lips.

Brian left his seat, went where his husband sat, and took his lips in a possessive kiss. “Aww, my sweetheart just wanted a bit of attention, someone to see him,” the librarian said when he broke the kiss. “Eight years later, and he still leaves me breathless.”

Albert turned to the librarian, his forehead creased by a small frown. “Thinking about it, you didn’t tell me how the two of you met, or if you did, it was the very abridged version. Can I please have more of your story? Not the juicy parts, just… how it happened.”

“I had a crush on the wrong guy, and I kept going to parties to meet him.” Bart started in a faraway voice. “I hated parties, but was hoping to get myself noticed by him. I can tell you I wasn't very wise at that age,” he shrugged, grinning.

“I hardly had time for parties except that one frat party at college.” Brian waved his hand in a dismissive gesture. “Was way too busy working, school, track, study groups, and helping out at home.” Sensing his walk down the memory lane was about to take a dark turn, he came back to Albert’s question. “Anyway, very long story short, the boss heard my dear husband here dropping F-bombs, and sent him to volunteer in the library. I stuffed an apple in his mouth, called him a snot, like Julien said, and the rest is history.”

For some reason, a leaden silence followed the librarian’s words, but it only took a few seconds, but Edward, who didn’t say anything until then, broke it after only a few seconds with a soft laugh. “My big brother here was busy, all right; you won't believe how many times our parents and I found him asleep with his face in his college books at the kitchen table. Mama used to turn the coffee pot on and we would bet on how many minutes it took for him to wake up.
