Chapter Five

Adrian dropped Terry off at Monica’s at precisely seven o’clock Monday morning. Terry had persuaded Adrian to let him stay over Sunday night. He wanted to kiss him before getting out of his truck that morning, but he knew he couldn’t. Everything had changed since they’d gotten back to town.

Adrian followed him inside, deciding to stay for breakfast.

Terry was humming as he said good morning to Monica. He walked into the kitchen and started the grill.

Eve was setting up the tables, and waved to him as he came in. Adrian said hello to her, and she rushed over to his table, pouring some coffee for him.

Terry watched Eve fawn over him, and grinned. If only she knew. Adrian was his, and Saturday and Sunday night, he’d had him inside him again. He’d even managed to have him this morning,

which is why they just arrived on time.

Adrian ate his breakfast, then, took off. The morning passed quickly as there were a lot of customers. There wasn’t a loll until around three o’clock. Terry went outside in the back and took some air.

The week went by slowly. Adrian didn’t come into the diner at all, and he didn’t phone. Terry wanted to call him but thought he’d better wait until Friday.

Friday afternoon, Adrian stopped by. Terry came out of the kitchen to see him. He was so happy, he was sure he was gushing. “So,” Adrian said, “are you up for this weekend?”

Terry smiled. Oh, he was up alright. “I will need to go home and get my stuff. Pick me up there around seven?”

“Sounds good. I’ve been working on the barn. I’ve got the whole left side down.”

“Cool. We’ll get at it tomorrow first thing.”

Adrian winked at him, and smiled, then, he waved to Eve, and was gone.

“So,” Eve said, walking over, “what you got planned for the weekend?”

“Helping Adrian.”

“Again?”

“He’s paying me. We’re trying to fix the barn.”

Eve nodded, and walked away.

Terry spent the next few weeks living for the weekends. Every Friday night, he went up to the old Carter house, and every Monday morning, Adrian drove him back to the diner. It was August when Eve finally told him that ‘people in town were talking.’

“Talking about what?” Terry asked, flipping the burgers on the grill.

“You, with that hockey star, up at the old Carter place.”

“Now, he’s that hockey star. What happened to Adrian?”

Eve came closer to him. “Are you…Terry? Tell me the truth.”

“Not here.”

When things slowed down and he and Eve were able to go outside, he told her. “We’re in love.”

“What?”

“In love.”

“Give me a break,” she snorted.

Terry bristled. “Why is that so hard to…”

“He may be fucking you, but he doesn’t love you.”

“How in hell do you know?”

“Because…and even if he does, he’s not going to stay around here.”

“He’s fixing up the house, and the barn and…” “Yes, to sell it.”

Terry swallowed. “No, he…”

“Terry, if you spent any time in town anymore, you would have seen a picture of the old Carter house up on the poster at the real estate office.
