“With the relationship being this new, if you’re going to move fast, and I approve of that tactic, you’re going to have to be upfront. It comes off as disingenuous because he doesn’t know everything about you yet.”
Alex listened.
“Trust me, Alex. Be upfront.”
Now, he needed to know.
“Is it crazy that I’m moving this fast?” he whispered.
Noah laughed.
“My dude, no. It’s crazy that we’re all in lockdown or I’d fly there to personally drive your ass to the judge’s chambers. This is theFIRSTthing you’ve done that has made sense.”
He laughed.
Noah wasn’t wrong.
It was the first thing that felt right.
His best friend was to the point.
“What is better, Alex? Surprising him or having this be solved?”
He had a point.
He didn’t want to lose Corbin, and especially over something so ridiculous.
“You’re right,” he admitted. “I’ll go tell him.”
“It’s for the best. You said it’s ridiculous sex, and he’s perfect. I know what that’s like,” he admitted. “Go tell him and be honest. Tell him you wanted to propose, show him the proof, and tell him it’s going to happen one day when you’re out of lockdown.”
That was the perfect plan to save the not-so-perfect plan. Besides, he trusted Noah.
He was his best friend.
“Thanks, No. I love you.”
He reassured him.
“I can’t wait to meet him. I’m happy for you, Alex. Go get your man, and we love you too. You deserve this.”
Actually, Alex believed that.
He did deserve this sweet man.
Hanging up, he grabbed his laptop, and his phone from the bedroom. Then, he headed for the other man’s room. When he knocked, Corbin didn’t answer at first, and Alex was worried.
He touched the knob, and it wasn’t locked. So, he opened it.
Not far away, Corbin was getting changed and he had headphones on, blocking out the world.
And he hated that he’d run in here to hide.
Banging louder on the door, the man turned and saw him. He looked surprised.
“Yes?” he asked, taking off the headphones.
Alex pointed toward the bed.
