CHAD called him on Tuesday. âWhat the fuck, fucker? You fall off the planet or something? Why donât you call me anymore?â
Garrett rolled his eyes. âIâve been busy.â âBusy? With what? Aliens kidnapped you and you liked the probing a little too much? Oh, donât even tell me youâre getting laid and havenât told me all the details, bitch. I am coming over tonight and youâre going to seriously spill, even if I have to beat the story out of you.â
âIâd like to see you try, little man,â Garrett teased. Chad wasnât short by most menâs standards, but at six foot four, Garrett towered over nearly everyone.
âShut up, you giant freak,â Chad pouted. âIâll be there at seven.â He was late, so of course Garrett had started dinner without him. Ignoring the look Garrett gave him, Chad grabbed a beer out of the fridge and settled onto the sofa, helping himself to the bowl of chips on the table. âMake me food,â he ordered hopefully with an envious look at Garrettâs grilled ham and cheese sandwich.
Rolling his eyes, Garrett pointedly finished eating his last few bites before going into the kitchen to make another one. Chad followed.
âSo spill. You seem fucked up.â
âThank you for your outstanding tact and sensitivity,â Garrett grumbled while grating cheese. âJustin visited.â âJustin?â
âUh, âAlecâ. The porn star guy, from Folsom.â
âWow.â Chadâs impressed look was hardly flattering. âHowâd you manage that?â Garrett shrugged. âWe did an interview and kind of hit it off. And I had to talk to him to do follow-ups and stuff, and then he came up for the weekend for some Hawk Studios business and stayed here.â
Chad gave him a probing look. âWhy arenât you happy about that? I mean, you got laid by a dude that tons of guys jack it to. What happened?â
âNothing. I just⦠like him.â âYou did have sex, right? Iâm going to be so disappointed in you if you fucked that up, Garrett. Heâs a porn star, for Godâs sake. It should have been a sure thing.â
âFuck you. Heâs not⦠like that.â Garrett sighed. âAt least, well⦠not with me. And we did have sex,â he added before his friend could start again. âJust not everything. But thatâs because I wanted to go slow. I like him,â he said, fiddling with the sandwich in the skillet.
He looked up as Chad sighed, a warm hand coming to rest on his shoulder for a moment. âOnly you, man. Only you would fall for a porn star.â
âYeah. I know.â Garrett flipped the sandwich over, letting it brown on the other side.
âSo what are you going to do?â Which was the whole problem in a nutshell, of course. What to do. Let himself fall in love with Justin, try to deal with his job and all the conflicting feelings it brought up? Or just let it go? The guy was in L.A., after all, and regularly fucking other people. It couldnât work out.
He shrugged. âDunno.â
âYeah, you do. Ideal world, man. What do you want?â
âI want Justin.
