Chapter 7

Emma rubbed her eyes, wishing she’d gotten more sleep but not regretting her late night at the concert. She yawned, picking at her lunch. The lettuce seemed like a good idea that morning when she picked up a salad on her way to school, but now it just looked unappetizing. She wondered if it was because she knew Jake and Duncan were eating pizza. She wanted pizza too, dammit. She sighed and forced herself to take another bite. Maybe if she pretended it was pizza? She sensed Jake laughing at her in the back of her mind and mentally flipped him off. Duncan coughed, and Emma smiled. They might be several hundred miles away, but it felt like they were sitting right next to her. This was definitely one of the cooler things about bonding—never feeling lonely. The downside was that even though she wasn’t getting the headaches anymore, she felt the distance from her two men acutely. She could function, but there was a feeling of yearning that she couldn’t dispel. She knew Jake and Duncan felt it too. When they woke up this morning, they didn’t want to leave her bed and she didn’t want to let them, but they had more radio interviews and needed to drive back to New York. The distance was like an itch that couldn’t be scratched.

“Hey, Emma, you gotta turn on the TV!” Julie flopped down in the chair next to Emma’s desk and grabbed the remote.

“What’s going on?” Emma asked. Julie’s eyes were glued to the television as she flipped through the channels, finally stopping on the twenty-four-hour news station.

“Look. Your boyfriends are on TV,” Julie said.

“They’re not my boyfriends,” Emma said absently. She still hadn’t told Julie anything other than that she’d been sick the past few days but Julie wasn’t buying it. She’d been teasing Emma all morning. What could be happening that Duncan and Jake were on CNN? The last she knew they were taping an interview for a morning talk show and just a moment ago they were eating pizza. She focused and realized that both men had finished eating several minutes ago. She frowned, trying to figure out where they were. A hallway? No, a lobby. There was a huge crowd in front of them and she felt Jake’s irritation like a burr under her skin. What was going on? She concentrated on the TV.

“...now we’re live at Z100’s studio in New York where Duncan Green and Jake Mackenzie just finished a morning interview and lunch. Neither man realized they were being recorded while they ate and cameras caught tattoos on Jake’s arms that match the new tattoos on Duncan’s forearms. Fans have been talking about Duncan’s new tats for the past week. Apparently, the friends have bonded, though no one yet knows why the men have two tattoos instead of one. This is the first time any celebrities have bonded, and we believe it’s the first report of a same-sex bonding.”

“Holy shit, Emma, do you see that?” Julie pointed at the television where cameras were zooming in on Jake’s arms.
