Now in his twenties, he's getting tired of one night stands and heated hook-ups with strangers; he wants something more. Was that asking too much?<br><br>Wes Roberts has had a fierce crush on Nathan since high school. A chance encounter at prom created a memory Wes still cherishes, one perfect moment in time. His current relationship with Roger pales in comparison, but he's been with the man for eight months now and they've settled into a routine that's not exactly comfortable.<br><br>When Wes and Nathan meet up again years later at a friend's party, the spark between them is rekindled. But there's Roger, who wrestles with anger and drinking problems. Roger, whom Wes is still dating.

Crushed

And ask him about Nathan.Though Wes knew his former roommate well enough to know Tom wouldn’t want to tell him anything.And if he did say something?What good would it do?You can’t call Nathan up and tell him you’re sorry about last night,it was great but you just forgot to mention that you’re dating someone,so thanks for the memories and thanks for the kisses and you hope to see him around?


How much of that do you think you’ll manage to get out before he hangs up on you?


Roger broke into his thoughts.“What’re you calling him for?Are you making me something toeat,too?”


How long have you been up?Wes wondered,but he kept the words to himself.Roger was in a genial mood,why ruin it?Cracking open two more eggs,Wes added them to the pan.“Sure.”


“Why do you want to call Tom?”Roger persisted.


Wes sighed.Because he’s my friend?Hello?Did he really need a reason?
