“How’s things with Sam?”
“Good,” Hector responds. Really good, actually. We’re talking about moving in
together when his lease is up.”
“Oh.”
“What do you mean, oh? That was a
pretty catty oh.”
“Sorry babe,” Mason replies. “I just, I’m jealous the way you’re happy without
me.”
“Who says that’s true?” Hector looked up at his friend as he asked. It was an
upside-down view, but Mason was staring straight out into the Los Angeles
skyline with his jaw firmly set.
Mason jerks his head toward his friend. “What?”
“That’s total bullshit and you know it. I am happy I met you. I’m happy I had
my time with you, and dated you, and made love with you. But we’re not
compatible – at all. I mean, let’s
face it, it was fun at the clubs, but we couldn’t spend the night without
driving each-other up the wall.”
Mason exhales and says nothing.
“But I’m happy you’re still in my life. And that we’re friends. And that I had
that relationship. I learned a lot about it, about the important of balancing the
craving for cock versus the value of personal space.”
“Really?”
“Oh yeah. I’m better for having met you. And I got a great hiking buddy out of
it too.”
“Wow… thanks Hector. I mean it. I’m glad you told me.”
“I’m serious Mason. One of Sam’s flaws is that he doesn’t like hiking. I’m
working on him, but he’s such a city boy.”
Mason chuckles. “Let me have this ok?”
Hector smiles. “Ok. Were you holding onto us Mason?”
Mason blushes. “No.”
“I think you were holding onto the idea of us.”
“The sex was really good,” Mason mutters.
Hector guffaws. “I’m good in bed? Damn stroke my ego some more please!”
“Find Sam to stroke it for you,” Mason teases, tickling Hector’s sides.
Hector squeals and swats at him. “Stop it you brute!”
Mason finds himself laughing. “Fine fine!”
“You need to get a boyfriend, Mason.”
Mason pauses. “Yeah. Maybe I do. I will. I’ll meet someone amazing, and you can
be jealous of me.”
Hector pokes him. “Good luck. I’m cheering for you.”
The smile this time was authentic. “Thanks.”
