Tom sighed. He thought of his fling with Officer Matt. He knew that if he went with John now it would turn out the same way. He might enjoy the sex but when it was over he’d still have questions. He needed to clear his head of Alan before he could move on, and to do that he had to see him.
“Sorry, man,” Tom said. “I’m waiting for someone.”
“Looks to me more like you were leavin’ cuz the someone you were waitin’ for didn’t show up,” John replied, still rubbing his basket which had visibly increased in size.
“You’re right, he didn’t show up…today. But he will. And I’m gonna wait as long as it takes.” Tom said firmly, not sure whom he was trying to convince. He gave John’s bulge a squeeze as he walked past him and up the drive out of the park.
“You don’t know what you’re missin’,” John called after him.
