Chapter 9

NATE

I couldn’t get enough of Cooper. After that kiss in the closet, which was actually kind of ironic, I couldn’t stop dreaming of having his hands and mouth on me. All the time.

But I didn’t push. I waited for him every night after work and took him for coffee when he let me.

And still dreamed of having his body pressed against mine.

I wanted every inch of him sliding against every inch of me. I was starting to think he didn’t truly believe how badly I wanted him.

Because I had to get to the bar early to help set up for the wedding and reception, I wasn’t able to pick Cooper up on the way.

It was killing me that I had to wait the entire day to see him.

Just like it had been in high school.

I hadn’t told him back then but seeing him had been the highlight of my day. He always made it better by simply being himself.

Mason and Ryan were already there, along with Bea and a few other employees who were going to finish setting up. It was already transformed, with flowers lined next to the chairs that showcased a simple aisle to the front of the stage where Trilogy played and where the couple was going to say their vows.

“Where’s your date?” Mason asked, looking around. “Or did he bail on you?”

I rolled my eyes. “I know it’s a joke now, okay?”

Everyone knew about me and Cooper because of the announcement I’d made to the entire bar. But I didn’t regret it. My goal was simply to get Cooper to believe that I didn’t care who knew about my sexual orientation or who I liked to spend time with.

I’d accomplished my goal and that was all I needed to do.

That, and keep showing Cooper how much I cared for him. It was starting to become even more obvious the more time I spent with him. I realized that I was started to fall for the man Cooper was now instead of the memory of what we might have had back then or my own version of what could have been.

We were starting something now that was even more special to me.

“Cooper will be here for the wedding and reception,” I told him.

Mason glanced to Ryan and the love in his eyes was clear. I wouldn’t have been surprised to hear that we were having another wedding soon.

The thought of that made a pang of longing bloom in my chest. I was still young and had my whole life ahead of me. But more and more I was realizing that I wanted that life to be with someone I respected and cared about. Someone I trusted.

“How are things?” Mason asked me.

“Good. Better than I could have hoped for,” I told him honestly.

“Sometimes it just takes the right timing is all.”

I angled my head at him, unsure sure why he’d said that. “I hope you’re right. Cooper and I have had about ten years of wrong timing.”

He jerked his thumb to the door with a smile.
