On the rugby field Wayne Joslin might be tough and rough, but in the romance department he’s a pussy cat. He can’t keep his attention away from his close friend Darsey Haas, the center for the Templeton Thundercats. Darsey’s a dreamboat, and the guy of Joslin’s dreams. Someone he wants to spend the rest of his life with. The two must be together.<br><br>After five months of friendship, Joslin and Darsey steer out of the friend zone. There’s one problem, though. A huge problem. Darsey has a boyfriend, Cliff McGregory.<br><br>Cliff despises everything about Joslin and will do just about anything to keep him away from Darsey. Joslin’s in love with Darsey, though, head over heels, and believes they’re meant to be together. So he hatches a plan to distract Cliff with a certain rugby player named Tomas Iron. Will the plan work?

We Are Going to Be Together

Secondly, because Iron’s cell number is listed on his Facebook page (silly man), I call him up and invite him out for a drink at Toby’s High Life.


He instantly recognizes my voice and doesn’t think I’m a creep. The first thing he says, “Isn’t that a papa bar?”


“It is. You’ll be safe. No worries. I’ll protect you.”


“Won’t the old men be all over me?”


“Aren’t you used to that happening?”


“I’m sure you can. If not, I’ll improvise and help you.”


He agrees to meet me at seven in the evening. I offer to buy the drinks.
