Travis: Wouldn’t you like to know? I don’t kiss and tell.
Nick: Liar. When you kissed that guy from the coffee shop that time, you totally told. And what about the guy we met at the zoo?
Dylan: Yeah, and there was the guy we met at self-defense class.
Nick: And the underwater welder you met in CPR.
Travis: Alright already. Fine. I’ll tell, but you have to promise to be nice.
Dylan: We’re always nice.
Travis: Hardly.
Nick: We promise.
Travis: Okay, okay. I’m getting married.
Nick: Ha-ha, very funny.
Nick: Wait, youarejoking, right?
Nick: Travis, this shit’s not funny.
I laughed, shaking my head. A moment later, my phone jingled with an incoming video call. I answered it right away.
“Hey, assholes,” I greeted them.
Nick’s face was a little pale. “You’re not for real, right?”
Dylan shook his head. “You can’t be. He can’t be.”
I shrugged. “I can, and I am. His name’s Parker Lowe. We went to school together and rekindled our relationship, and now we’re getting married.”
“Jeez.” Nick’s eyes were wide. “I can’t believe what I’m hearing.”
“Believe it. We want you two there. We’re getting married outside of Mountainview, at Meadowlands Farm, next month. If we decide to do groomsmen, you’ll totally be on my side, right?”
“Yeah, of course,” Dylan said quickly.
They were both quiet for a moment before I cleared my throat. “Are you both somewhere private? Or could you take me off video call and just listen? I don’t want anyone else to hear what I need to say.”
“Sure thing, man,” Nick said, tapping his phone screen. “Go for it.”
“Dyl?”
Dylan nodded. “I’m working from home today and there’s nobody here except me and the dog.”
“Awesome.” I gave them a synopsis of what had happened the night before between Parker and me. The intense kiss, my confession, and our all-night cuddle session. Dylan nodded along and Nick hummed now and then to show his interest in my story. “So what do I do now?”
“Seriously?” Nick asked.
“Yeah, seriously. I’ve never been in a relationship like this before. I have no idea what comes next.”
Dylan chuckled. “Yeah, but you’ve watched porn.”
“I’m still not sure I’m ready.”
“Then don’t fuck him. There are other options, and if you’re not ready for those, I’m sure he’ll understand,” Nick said.
