“It’s been this long,” Remy said with a frustrated smirk.
“How long has it been?”
“Since I’ve had sex?”
“Yeah.”
“From the moment I realized that you were the one.”
“And when was that?”
Remy thought. “Well, I would say from the moment we met. But officially… do you remember when Hil got kidnapped and I came to your place looking for him?”
“Yeah.”
“From the moment you opened the door and I looked into your eyes. That’s when I knew I couldn’t deny it anymore. I was yours and I would do whatever I had to to make you mine.”
“Oh,” I said as heat flushed through me.
Not knowing what to do with myself, I asked, “Are you coming to the Outreach Center’s Opening tomorrow?”
“That was my plan.”
“Good.”
“Would you mind if we did something to celebrate afterward?”
I froze. What did he mean by celebrate? It wasn’t that I didn’t want him there or to celebrate with him. There was no one I would rather be with. This accomplishment was as much his as it was mine. Even when he had left me, he had been there for me. Now I wanted to be with him.
“Nothing fancy,” I conceded.
“No guarantees.”
“Everything you said was really nice. But, I don’t want to give you the impression that I’ve forgiven you for leaving me like that.”
Remy nodded, understanding my hesitancy. “Understood.”
“So, nothing fancy?”
Remy smiled. “No guarantees.”
Chapter 10
Dillon
Hil and Cali exited the stairway waving enthusiastically to get my attention. I looked up and saw Hil’s face beaming, his eyes glistening with unshed tears.
“I was just upstairs in the LGBT center,” Hil said, clearly emotional. “You did a fantastic job, Dillon.”
“Well, it wasn’t just me,” I replied, touched by his reaction. “A few people contributed. It’s crazy how much work and cooperation is required for something like this.”
Then, I added reluctantly, “Remy deserves a lot of the credit, too.”
Hil cut me off immediately. “Don’t you dare give my brother credit for something he had nothing to do with. Not after the way he treated you.”
I relented knowing Hil hadn’t received an update on things since last night’s kiss. But even without that, I couldn’t ignore the role Remy played in making the center a reality.
Not only was it his idea, but I was a 21-year-old kid who didn’t know anything about anything. He found the designers, the architects, the recruiters, everyone. And after turning the center’s creation into a multiple-choice quiz, he put people beside me who pointed at the right answers.
