Always a Groomsman

An hour later, Patrick pulled up to 290 Pod Street and my salt box-shaped abode. “Nice place you have here,” he said.


I leaned into him and kissed him with an open mouth and my eyes closed. The kiss was long and potent, exactly the way I wanted it. I attempted to melt him, which I think I accomplished on various levels, sexually, physically, and mentally. Once the kiss ended, I pulled away from him and brushed two fingers against my lips.


“I had a great time, Patrick. I want to do this again. You need to invite me on a wedding date again. What do you say?”


He shook his head. “I got in your pants. That’s all I wanted from you. There’s no reason to see you again.” And then he busted out in an ear-to-ear grin that melted me.


I rolled a palm along his chest, patted one of his pecs, and said, “You’ll be missed until I see you again.”
