The Naked Remedy

Was he going to be disappointed? The new hair might have given me a boost of confidence for the pic, but I was still the same boring Noah Booker I always was. I didn’t know if I could handle Fisher’s rejection if we started talking and he decided it was a waste of his time.


I glanced at the time. I had twenty-three minutes before he went to bed.


From the sound of it, Mom and Dad were getting ready to do the same. With the bathroom separating our rooms, I could talk to somebody without fear of being overheard, and if they asked in the morning, I could say I was chatting with Dez.


I buried my head in my pillow. God, Dez was my beard and she didn’t even know it.


Fuck it. What did I have to lose? Fisher lived in Florida. He’d already demonstrated that he would respect whatever I asked of him. He was also a decent enough guy not to be a jerk if I bored him to tears, too.
