Quinn extended an invite to his boyfriend, and much to his surprise, the mystery man, accepted.

“So, you have no idea who this guy is,” Ben asks from where he is sitting on the edge of my bed. He showed up a little earlier than I had expected, so now, I’m currently running around trying to make myself presentable.

“No, Quinn’s kept it pretty hush-hush. He’s private like that, that’s why this dinner is now so important—I want to make sure everything runs smoothly.”

Ben stands from the bed, walking to the closet, and pulls me in. “Come here. I haven’t got to hold you for a week, I’m starting to forget how you feel.”

“You just want to grope me through my towel.”

He lets out a laugh. “Guilty. No, but seriously, everything will be fine. You don’t have to try to impress anyone. You are the most enchanting person I know.”

I let out a breath. “I know, I just really want this to go well...for Quinn. He really seems to like this guy.”

“Well, I think him agreeing to this dinner is a good sign,” Ben assures.

“Yeah, I guess so. Just, let’s be extra spectacular—no eating with your hands, Ben. We don’t want him thinking we’re savages.”

Ben lets out a hearty laugh. “If I remember correctly, it was you who polished off the rack of ribs at dinner last week before the flatware even hit the table.”

“Oh, please. Who do you know that eats ribs with a fork and knife, and besides, Kai bet me fifty bucks that I couldn’t out eat Ginny?”

“Oh, I remember. It was something else. Whoever thought someone so tiny could pack away so much food,” Ben comments.

“Yep, I never had a chance. The moment Ginny heard the word go, that was it for me.”

Ben and I laugh, recalling the unforgettable image of Ginny when she came out as the victor. Covered in barbeque sauce from head to toe, her husband, Kai, took one look at her, and it’s as though he fell in love with her all over again.

Just as Ben lowers his mouth to mine, the doorbell rings. He manages only to get a quick peck in before I pull away. “Crap, I have to get ready. Go out there and help Quinn entertain his guest.”

Ben lets out a mildly irritated groan but graciously complies. “Don’t be too long; you look great, just like that.”

“Yes, because I’m sure me walking out in a towel will make a great impression. Not to mention all my lady parts would be hanging out,” I reply.

Ben pinches his brow in thought. “Yeah, no, take your time. I can keep a conversation going.”

He heads out to join the others, and I quickly run around trying to find something to wear that doesn’t say dowdy college student—I really need to do some shopping.
