“Ok. What’s our story?” I said, game for a try at keeping my job.

Chris frowned. “Well we already told him we went for a swim so we need to keep that part. You came down to invite me to swim with you and I went because I was worried about you. Then we went back to my bungalow and talked shop for a while, got carried away, and then discovered it was really late—blah, blah, blah—bitch locks you out. No choice but to let you crash in my bungalow.”

I liked it. Simple. Straight forward. Nothing complicated to trip either one of us up. I frowned. “Why were you naked, though?”

He considered that. “Ok—we had some drinks. I was drunk.”

I scrunched my mouth up thoughtfully. “You think he’ll go for that?”

“He knows I’m gay! Why wouldn’t he?”

“It still looks really bad,” I said unhappily. “If it had been anybody but Mr. Mueller ….”

“Oh they would’ve really screwed us if it had been anybody else! At least he isn’t likely to mention that part.”

“You being too drunk to think anything about getting naked in bed with me doesn’t put you in a very good light—especially when you got smashed the night before,” I pointed out.

I could see he wasn’t happy about it either. “How’s this?” he asked after a few minute’s thought. “Me and my boyfriend just split. I was depressed. You’d come down to cheer me up and we went for a swim, but afterwards I was still depressed, drinking—we talked—you left, came back—I was drunk and half asleep?”

I stare at him unhappily. “Why is it that the truth sounds so wrong?”

“Because we know what happened before we went to bed!” Chris said promptly. “Mueller doesn’t know.”

“Yet.”

“Don’t start that! I can’t deal with that right now. Let’s just figure out how to get our asses out of this sling before we start worrying about other problems.”

“Yes, but it’s part of the same problem! What if he’s already figured it out? I left my robe in his room! The same damned robe I was wearing at the beach! And he looked at me when I walked by in it. He’s liable to remember any time if he hasn’t already!”

“It was just a white robe!”

“With my initial on it!”

Chris looked like he was going to pass out. “And you didn’t think to mention that before!”

“I had other things on my mind!”

Chris got up to pace. “Your full initials?”

I shrugged. “Just a ‘C’. I didn’t have it custom done. I just bought it because it had a C on it.

His face went slack with relief. “Betty’s last name was Chancelor, wasn’t it?”

“I doubt she wears low end department store fashions,” I said dryly.

Chris waved that off. “He’s straight. Believe me, straight guys have no fashion sense. He won’t think anything about it. Anyway, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. I doubt he’s ever been near a Save-Mart.”

I gnawed my lip worriedly, but hope had sprung to life. “You think?”

“Forget the robe, Cinderella.
