He blushed at his awkward sentence and went back into the storage room, only to turn on his heels again right away. “Oh, I have an idea. Now that the cat’s out of the bag, why don’t you guys come over tonight? All of you? We could have a little party!”
“A party?” I exchanged a look with Sebastian.
“Yeah,” Nicholas continued. “The spa is almost finished, and we were thinking about doing a test run of the hot tub. That would be so much fun!” He looked at Jack. “Are you and Noah free tonight?”
Jack made a surprised face, too. “Are you sure your husband would love having the entire gay community of Seastone over without any warning?”
Nicholas nudged Jack’s shoulder. “He can handle four more people.” His gaze drifted back to me, searching for my reaction.
“A spa sounds nice,” Sebastian said, squeezing my shoulder. “We can take the evening off, if you want.”
“Are you sure you’re ready to spend an evening with my friends?” I asked. “They’ll probably bombard you with questions.”
He turned his hand into a finger gun. “I’msoready.”
“Well,” I turned back to Nicholas. “I guess, it’s a date!”
“Hell, yes!” Nicholas cheered. “I’ll text Jason right away.” He pulled out his phone and started typing.
Jack sighed. “Well, I guess, I’ll call Noah, too.”
With that, both guys focused on their phones. Jack stepped outside onto the porch.
“Is that really okay?” I asked Sebastian again.
“They know anyway. So…” He brought his hand to my cheek and brushed his thumb over it. “Is it okay for you?”
“Of course! I’d love for you to meet my friends,” I said, keeping my voice low.
“Well then…” He smiled. “If we’re going to a party tonight, I guess we should get back to work, shouldn’t we? The song’s not going to finish itself.”
