Was he like this with girls? No wonder they flocked to him. Judging by the way people were looking, Isaac could have had anyone in this room.
They probably all hated Julian right now.
That wasn’t the worst thing. People didn’t normally envy him.
The song switched to something slower, and Julian’s heart nearly leapt out of his chest. They’d turned up on the late side, and itwasprobably time for the first wave of people to start leaving. The DJ knew what they were doing. People loved slow songs to finish their night with.
Thankfully, Isaac backed off an inch or so, laughing and grinning like he was having the time of his life.
And they were just getting started.
He looked around for a second, and then ducked back in, his cheek pressed to Julian’s.
This was it. This was how Julian was going to die. Of his heart exploding from getting what he’d always wanted.
Right here, in the middle of the kind of gay bar that had a rainbow sign.
“I could go for that drink now,” Isaac shouted into his ear, though the rest of the noise around them had built so much it might as well have been a whisper.
The hairs on the back of Julian’s neck stood up as though it was, in any case.
He backed off this time, nodding dazedly.
Isaac grinned, grabbed his hand, and tugged him toward the bar.
This was going to be a long, hard night.
