A Misunderstanding

“Blake, what is it?” Justin asked after pulling the spoon out of his mouth.


Blake shoved another spoonful of ice cream inside his mouth and swallowed it before responding to the question. “Ho-how hung up are you on that guy?”


Justin had a bewildered expression on his face now. “What guy?”


Blake could feel his cheeks and ears heating up in embarrassment. “I overheard you and Dave talking about this guy you’re crushing on.”


Justin seemed even more confused now. “When did that happen?”


“A while back. In your office. David mentioned something about you making a move on that guy you like.”


Justin was quiet for several seconds before his expression cleared up. Then he blushed redder than a tomato.


“Ho-how much of that conversation did you manage to catch?”
