Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Caleb was set to be interviewed next week and was looking forward to it, if only because he would spend time alone with Lucas. He sighed, thinking back to that phone call the day after the kiss in the parking lot…

That night, he couldn’t sleep, his mind and body buzzing with electricity. All he could think about was how right Lucas’ lips had felt against his. He reached for his cell phone on the night stand.

It was a few minutes after midnight, so technically, the next day. His lips curved into a small smile. Was it too late to call? Before he talked himself out of it, he dialed and held his breath.

“Hello?” Lucas sounded sleepy. And sexy.

Caleb’s heartbeat picked up. “Hey, did I wake you?”

“Not really. Just watching a documentary on TV. Well, really just listening, to be honest.”

“Documentary? What’s it about?” Caleb asked, genuinely interested.

“Baseball.”
