I MADE it through the next day on a caffeine high. I had one class at nine and a three-hour stint at the law firm before I was free for the weekend. Scratch that. Before I was free to study and catch up on my assignments. I had four months of law school left. I couldn’t afford to fuck it up. There wasn’t anything pressing going on other than an almost physical urge to spend time with Aaron. But I promised myself I would give him space and time.

I called him on my way home from the city. I couldn’t take it. I needed to hear his voice.

“Hey there.” He sounded happy to hear from me. Good sign, right?

“Hi. I just wanted to hear your voice.” Fuck, I shouldn’t tell him the truth.

“Oh… Matty, you are sweet. I like hearing your voice too. We never got around to talking about it, but what are you doing this weekend?”

“Honestly, I have a ton of school work to get through. I’m devoting my weekend to it. I can’t afford to get any more behind than I am.”

“That would be bad. Well, if you can get away from your books for a teensy while… would you like to join me and a couple of friends for brunch on Sunday?”

“Sure!” was my immediate response.

Aaron laughed at my timing and then explained that he tried to get together with Jay and Peter at least a couple of Sundays a month for a mimosa-infused brunch. He claimed not to be a fan of a threesome with a naughty chuckle, and was hoping I’d join them this weekend. I agreed to be their fourth.

“Cool. Plus, I want you to meet them. I have to run. I’m still at work, and I have a feeling I’ll be here another few hours.”

I had just stepped up to my front door and was loath to end the connection without at least acknowledging the night before.

“Okay, I’ll let you go, but I just… I wanted to tell you….”

“Yeah, me too.”

“It was amazing, Aaron. That’s all I’ll say… promise. See you Sunday, okay?”

We hung up, and I fumbled to get my key out of my pocket just as another hand reached out to unlock the door. Curt. Shit. He gave me the look. The one that let me know it was time to start explaining. I knew I didn’t owe anyone an explanation, but somehow I realized this could be a good way to start the coming-out process. “Coming out” sounded ominous, but if anyone could give advice I might be willing to listen to, it would be Curt.

“So… how much did you hear?”

“Enough. Are you with him, like with him? It is Aaron, right? What’s going on with you, Matt?” Curt was flustered, and I have to admit his concern made me feel guilty, like I’d kept something from him that was vital. I didn’t want to ruin my high with guilt, but I decided I would answer what I could.

“I like him, Curt.
