“What did?”
“Boyfriend. That’s the one that feels right. Feels like me. I’m your boyfriend, and you’re my boyfriend.”
He pulls me into him and kisses me softly and sweetly.
“I loved hearing you introduce me as your boyfriend. That’s sort of why I wanted to come here, to tell you how I feel, because you left before we could talk properly.”
He rubs the back of his neck with one hand.
“Yeah, sorry about that.”
“No, you don’t have to apologise I get it. What we are is so new for you, and I guess, I just wanted you to know that wecan take this as slowly as you like. I have to admit, it was pretty freaking hot watching you copy everything I was doing.”
“It was, was it?”
“So hot.”
“Good. Because I anticipate there will be lots more nights like those in our future. But not tonight.”
“Why not tonight?” he pouts.
“Because I’m sharing a room with my brother.”
“Oh, umm, I have a suite at the same hotel.” Of course he does.
“Seriously?”
“Yeah, Red took care of it. I have to leave when you do to meet up with Jennifer in Montana, but until then. I’m all yours.”
“You’ve got a good best friend there,” I say, and he nods, then loops his arm around my back.
“So, where is this place?” I ask, and he points up ahead to the glowing orange neon sign that says “Sports Bar.”
“I thought we were having dinner?”
“We are. They’ve got a giant Snickers with your name on it.”
Chapter twenty-two
Ashley
Thosecoupleofdaysin New York with Calvin were the best thing I could have done for our relationship. And I can wholeheartedly call it a relationship now. Have I told him that I think I am in love with him? Absolutely not. This is all so new to him, and I don’t want to freak him out. But every day we are together, the more I know these feelings are real and are not going anywhere.
I flew out about twenty minutes before he did, and from the other side of the airport, so we said our goodbyes back in my room before we checked out. It was the best five-minute blowjob of my life.
“Oh my god, you have to see this arcade,” I tell Calvin over the phone as I walk through a mall near the hotel I’m staying at. I click the icon to switch to video chat and turn the phone around.
“Wow, how many do you think there are?” he asks as I pan the screen.
“Has to be twenty, at least, oh, oh, look, they have a giant one.”
I rush up to the enormous claw machine and click the button for five goes, then tap my phone to pay.
“So, what do you want me to bring you back, a weird blue head thing or a weird pink head thing?” I rest the phone on the edge of the glass so that he can watch me in action.
“Blue, if you can get one. I hear those giant ones almost never pay out.”
“It’s not about the machine paying out, it’s the skill of the player,” I say as I hit the button and the claw comes down right over the head of one of the blue plushies inside. “Yes, see,” I say as the claw closes tight over the head.
