I extend my legs off the end of the sun lounger, strategically shifting my body a little so that I know it will look the best it possibly can under the sun, and smile as I hear Lux's voice inside the house. He just walked in and is greeting my mom and brother.

It's so nice, hearing him actually around at our place for a change, even if I know that he's not there for me. I can close my eyes and pretend for a little while, at least, can't I? Even though I know that my brother was the one to invite him around, I want to pretend for a few minutes that he's there to see me and that as soon as he gets a glimpse of me on this sun lounger, I'm going to be able to spend the afternoon with the man that I can't get enough of.

When Gavin mentioned that he was going to invite Lux around for some beer and to catch up with the three of us, I had to pretend that I haven't seen him in years. It's strange, really, to think that I've been hiding all of this from my mom and my brother; normally, we're the kind of family who tells each other everything, and I know that they would usually be really excited to find out that there was someone else close to the family around. But instead, I have to play it cool and pretend that I haven't been seeing Lux every single night after work for the last few weeks.

Every night, he drops in some comments about how much he wants me to stop working there. How much he would like it if I could just come back to work at The Last Call and forget about anything else. And honestly, it is tempting; it isn't that working at the other bar is horrible or anything, but it's boring, and I don't get half the tips that I did at the old place. And I know that Gavin isn't making the same that I could there, either. After all, he's a dude, and dudes don't tend to give dudes quite the same sweetness for giving them a big smile and laughing at their jokes, do they?

But anyway. We both have incomes, and that's all that matters right now. It's not going to take long before we have made enough to get the house all fixed up, and then Gavin will be all healed up and back to his work, and I can come back to work for Lux and...

Hmm. And what? Because I don't know what's going to come after that. I like him, there's no doubt about that, and that tense, flirty chemistry that the two of us have is getting harder and harder for me to deny. Maybe I don't want to deny it any longer. Maybe I want him to drive me home every single night from his bar so that I can just spend the evening at his place.
