Kenon shifted, unsure how to respond. He didnât want to hurt Wallyâs feelings. He was surprised that it actually mattered to him if Wally was upset. Kenon cleared his throat. âI know youâve worked hard. And youâve done a brilliant job lining up people and working out the details. But the party is in good shape and anyone can handle it from this point.â
âI guess,â Wally said.
If he could only see the boyâs face, Kenon could figure out what to say. It was already awkward enough asking Wally on a date.
A date? That was what Kenon was doing, wasnât it? He sighed.
âI want you at my side during the party, not bartending.â Kenon fidgeted with his shirt. âYouâre a bit famous now, at least here in the guild. You did such a great job modeling, thereâll be a lot of people wanting to talk to you.â Including Andrei, who wouldnât get a chance to lay a finger on Wally. Heâd never have invited the man to the party, if not inviting him wouldnât have appeared like a snub. A very expensive snubâone he couldnât afford. âYou wouldnât be able to mingle if you were working.â
âWellâ¦I guess youâre right about that,â Wally said.
Why wasnât Wally more excited? Heâd responded better to being asked to model naked in front of a room full of naked men. Surely going to a party on Kenonâs arm wasnât worse than that.
âDonât you want to be my date?â Kenonâs heart raced. What if Wally said no? That would be humiliating. Even if they were alone in the basement.
âDate?â
Kenon adored the way Wallyâs voice rose to a higher pitch when he was nervous. It was very endearing.
Kenon paused a moment before replying. He was back in charge. Wally wouldnât say no. âYes, Wally, I want you to be my date.â
âIâd love to.â Shivers rushed through Wallyâs voice, making it crack. âThank you for inviting me.â
âGood. Donât forget, itâs a masquerade.â Kenon sensed the nervousness in Wallyâs voice. If he moved on him now, Wally would likely run. The dark basement would be a perfect place to have sex, though. It always had been. Lock the door and have at it. But not with Wally. He required kid gloves. Besides, Kenon had a better plan that would guarantee Wally was ready and more than willing.
âIâll get a mask. Iâd already planned to for bartending anyway.â
âGood,â Kenon said. âNow, letâs go back upstairs. Just give your party notes and information to the receptionist. He can actually work on something for once.â
Wally sighed, probably with relief, and Kenon followed him out of the dark part of the basement back toward the dance floor. Heâd make sure Wally was blown away at the party. If Kenon could wait that long.
Wally turned. âSo what do you want me working on until the party? I mean, if Iâm not planning the party, what do you need me around for? Or do you even need me?â
What indeed? Kenon grinned. âWell, I did have a little job in mind.
