Hot.
That’s how he’d look.
Just because we’ve decided on friends, doesn’t mean I can’t indulge in a few fantasies. My cock is on board with that, and I reach under the quilt to give it a leisurely stroke. I’m contemplating whether it’d be wrong to have a wank to thoughts of Sean when my phone buzzes on the bedside table.
When I glance over, Sean’s name flashes on the screen, along with a text message.
I groan and curse softly. It’s like he somehow knew what I was about to do.
And now I feel guilty, so that’s off the table.
Maybe.
I’m way too curious to see what he’s sent, though.
Turning onto my side, I reach for my phone and open the text.
Sean:Hey. You awake?
Vic:Yeah, just got back from the pub.
Sean:It was good to see you today. I know I could’ve handled things better when I left London, and I’m sorry about that. But I’m glad we finally got to clear the air.
Vic: Me too.
Sean: Did you get the tree set up ok?
Vic:Yeah, eventually. You were right. It looks great. We’re going to decorate it in the morning before they open.
Which I’m really looking forward to. With coming up here so early, I haven’t bothered to get a tree of my own this year. And even though we haven’t been together in a long while, I still count Hailey as family. Charlotte too. And doing this together with HaileyandJoe is something I didn’t think I’d get to do again.
It’s nice.
Sean takes a while to reply and I wonder if he’s fallen asleep. Just as I go to put my phone back, it buzzes in my hand.
My smile is instant.
Sean: Sounds like fun. I might pop in to have a look at your handiwork.
My pulse quickens at the thought of seeing him tomorrow. I know this feeling, recognise it enough to know I should put a stop to it before it has chance to deepen into anything more.
But I don’t want to.
Vic: You should.
My pulse races a little faster as I wait for him to answer.
Sean: I finish work about 4. I’ll stop by on my way home.
Whatever plans I have tomorrow, they now involve being at the pub at four.
Vic: I might see you there.
I hit Send and imagine him rolling his eyes as he reads. I bet he knows as well as I do that I’m definitely going to be there.
Sean::) Night.
Vic:Night.
