He chugs back the Coke, placing the can on the coffee table.
“No, but seriously. I think girls are into that.”
“Into what?”
“That whole thing you’ve got going on. Strolling around, sexy as sin, bit of a loner. Mysterious. Yeah, I can totally see why the chicks are chasing you and not the other way around.”
“Mysterious?” I scoff.
“They eat that shit up,” he grins.
I shake my head. Taking a sip of my Coke before I place it on the coffee table.
“Boys do too,” he mumbles, gaze far away somewhere.
“Huh?”
“I mean,” he says, clearing this throat. “If it turns out you’re bi, you’ll not only be chased by girls, but boys too.”
I raise my brows, snorting.
“Dark, tall and handsome?” He bites his bottom lip. “Mmm, yeah, baby. The boys will crawl for you.”
I frown. “I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not.”
“Of course, I’m serious,” he laughs. “Have you ever looked in the mirror?”
“Dude!”
“What? I’m gay, Kade, and you’re really fucking hot.”
I drop my gaze to the floor and rub my forehead.
“Are you blushing? Wait, wait.” He turns towards me. “Kaden Merrick, are you fucking serious right now? Is this the first time anyone’s ever told you this or what the hell is going on?”
“Dude, calm the fuck down!” I chuckle. “No, it’s not the first time, but I get really uncomfortable. And we just had sex, I’m all vulnerable and shit, so can you shut up?”
He just stares at me, eyes wide, mouth gaping. I press my lips together, dragging a hand down my chin. Then he closes his mouth, drops his gaze to the floor and shakes his head.
“What?” I mumble.
“Nothing,” he says, voice all tight, shaking his head again. He turns around, faces the TV and crosses his legs before heuncrosses them just as fast, spreading them wide. Clearing his throat, he reaches for the controller. “You wanna play?”

“Areyoumoping?”Louasks on the phone.
“No,” I state, pressing pause on the movie.
“No? So, what are you up to then?”
“Watching a movie,” I mumble.
“What movie?” she prods.
I sigh. “I don’t remember the title.”
