CHAPTER TWELVE

By the time we reached his flat, which I had only seen properly once before, he was starting to look exhausted. We went inside into the spacious, beautifully appointed living room and Cal sat on the sofa, looking at his hands, without moving. He looked very young, very tired, and very wet.

I went and ran him a bath. I sat watching the water rise in the huge whirlpool basin for a long time, uneasy about going back out there to find Cal in that same lonely position. I could feel something shifting between us. Something broken was being mended, while something else, infinitely more fragile, was gently beginning to grow.

I heard quiet footfalls and Cal came into the bathroom, resting his hip against the sink and watching the water with me. He had taken his jacket and tie off and was standing with his shirt open at the neck and tucked into his suit trousers, his feet bare against the tiles. I had to wrench my gaze away.

“Who’s that for?”

“You. You’re exhausted and you’re soaking wet.”

“Are you getting in with me? You’re soaking wet, too.”

I looked up at him, trying to show him I wasn’t rejecting him. “No. But I’ll stay in here and we can talk, how’s that?”

He thought about it for a few seconds and then nodded.

“Okay. You want some hot chocolate?”

I laughed. “Sure, why not. There’s a box of cupcakes on the side for you, too. Martin is apparently taking you up on your offer to critique his new recipes.”

Cal grinned and skipped out of the room to fetch them. In about ten minutes I was sitting on the closed toilet seat, with my shoes and socks off, holding a steaming cup of hot chocolate, watching Cal settle his beautiful body into the bath, with care. He was also holding a mug of cocoa, and I wanted to offer to hold it for him, but the panicked look on his face was too amusing to pass up.

He scowled at me, but was eventually happily ensconced in the water. He had a wooden contraption that fitted across the narrowest part of the bath and he’d carefully placed a cake there before he got in. Thankfully, I was just far enough away that I could only see his knee and his torso and I didn’t have to stare at his half hard cock while we talked.

For a long time, once he got settled, neither of us said anything and I was at a loss as to how to start the conversation.

“Why’d you kick me out?”

He asked it so bluntly I was momentarily too surprised to respond. I watched him and took a sip of the hot chocolate.

“I wanted it to be uncomplicated.”

“How’d that go?” His voice was drenched in sarcasm.

“How’d picking up a random bloke to make me jealous go?”

He smiled. “Pretty fucking well, now you ask.”

I couldn’t help laughing at that. “You’re a nuisance.” I sighed watching the silhouettes of raindrops run down the translucent glass of the window.
