CHAPTER FOUR

When I got to the flight deck later that morning, Gio was all over me. “Did you hear? Alex is in the infirmary, some kind of reaction to fucking peanuts. Who the hell’s allergic to nuts for God’s sake? Anyway, the roster’s been shaken up for the day, and you and Wilder are flying together. I’m with Winkler, flying lead.”

Fuck. I wasn’t in the mood to deal with all this today. I’d thought I’d be able to get in the cockpit and escape up into the clouds and let the sky soak up all my problems. That’s where I felt the most at home anyway. Maybe I was meant to be alone, and this was just a sign. But no, now I had to share my holy of holies with the guy who probably thought I was a lunatic. I mean, what kind of man talked about forever without having at least one date?

And oh, shit! I almost missed the last part, and it was the most important thing of all— they were going to let Gio be point! I grabbed him in a hug, ignoring his squeals of protest, and spun him around in circles. “Dude! I am so fucking proud of you. Point! See? I told you that if you hung around me long enough, the gold would rub off on ya!”

Gio laughed, pushing away from me. “Fuck you. And it felt like you rubbing off on me. Although,” he flashed me a shit-eating grin, “I bet you’d rather be rubbing off on Wilder.”

What. The. Fuck?

When I just stood there, in shock, Gio’s face fell and he looked upset. “What? Did I say something wrong? You do like him, don’t you?”

“Wha-what do you mean? Like him? He’s a good guy, and a good friend.” My face must have shown my horror at his words, and he grabbed me and pulled me away from the tarmac. When we were away from everyone else, I calmed down enough to try to make some sense out of what he’d said. “Gio, I’m not sure what you meant. I—”

“Davey, buddy, it’s okay. I thought you knew I knew. I swear, I wouldn’t have said anything if I thought it would upset you so bad.”

Oh hell. “I’m not upset. I just don’t understand what you mean.”

Gio met my gaze, his face open. “Davey. Man, I know you’re gay. I’ve known since, well, remember when we all went out that first time together in Singapore? To that strip club and everyone got shitfaced?” I nodded, and he continued. “I wasn’t as drunk as the rest of those goons, and I saw you eyeing the waiter, and when you disappeared with him and came back looking like the cat that ate the canary, well, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to put the pieces together.”

I was fucking shocked. He’d known for four years? And never said a word? “Gio, why didn’t you say anything?”

He shrugged and looked away. “I figured if you wanted to talk about it you would.
