Chapter 5

Blue finds a seat in the empty chair next to Toby. “It’s not in my nature to stand attractive men up.” He winks at Toby and shares a polite smile. The light flirting is soon interrupted by a young waiter with bright red hair, freckles, and an adorable cleft in the center of his chin. Blue orders the same drink as Toby, and adds, “And bring my friend here another one.”

After the gingerhead vanishes from the two-person table, Toby says, “That was kind of you.”

“Kind would be you lending me your blogs so I can use them to teach with.”

Toby contemplates his next comment before sharing it out loud. He doesn’t think Blue rude. Instead, he finds the man sexy as hell, and likes how he gets to the thick of the matter. Blue seems to have a lot of balls. After rubbing his chin with two fingertips, he asks, “If I lend you my blogs for your summer class, what will I get in exchange?”

“What’s a guy like you want?”
