Was this why they constantlyteased me about it? Could they see something I couldn’t?
The fact that none of myfriends were straight had seemed like a coincidence until right this second.Now, it seemed…meaningful.
I grabbed my phone fromwhere it was charging on the nightstand, unlocking it and opening the GuardianAngels group chat.
It was only a little aftermidnight. Someone would probably still be awake.
Why do you guys makejokes about me being attracted to men? It’s just a joke, right?
I sent it before I couldlose my nerve. Who else did I have to talk about this shit to?
My sister, maybe, but shewas in the middle of wedding preparations. This wasn’t her problem.
Fox:allow me tobe the first to congratulate you on popping your gay cherry
Dammit.
That hadn’t been subtle atall, had it? And I shouldn’t have expected anyone to be gentle with me.
Lucas:aren’t you on a job?
Lucas:Oh my GOD you’re screwing theclient. What is WRONG with you people?
Gray:Can we benice to Logan? He’s clearly going through something here
I hadn’t expectedeveryoneto be awake, butI was relieved that Gray was. He’d known me the longest, he could help me handlethis.
I’m not screwing theclient
Oral wasn’t the same asgoing all the way, and that was the excuse I was sticking to. Even if I had toadmit that it’d been the best sex I’d had in… a long time.
Not least of all becauseAshley had seen me as I was and still wanted me.
Some part of me was tryingto cling to that, like it didn’t matter he was a man because what I’dreallybeen attractedto was his acceptance and arousal in the face of seeing my leg, but…
That was bullshit, wasn’t it?
Just as bullshit as sayingthat I wasn’tscrewing the client, although that implied an ongoing thing and it’d onlyhappened once.
Fox:can anyoneelse hear a silent ‘yet’ at the end of that sentence
I sighed. Whatwaswrong with us? You’d think we could keep it in our pants for the sake ofprofessionalism, but no. No, that’d be too easy.
Zoe:is he atleast hot?
There was no getting awaywith this, was there? I’d have to come clean. I’d have toexplainmyself.
You have a boyfriend.
Lucas:pics
Fox:pics and thentell us all about your little bisexual awakening. Also. Who owes who money?
What?
I wasn’t going to sendthem a picture of Ashley. I only had one. One of him and all his friendshugging him goodbye, a moment where he was glowing with happiness at being soloved.
As much as I loved myfriends, I wasn’t about to cheapen that moment by using the picture to prove hewas hot.
