章 31: Chapter 31

Jon shook his head.“I think you’re completely misreading the situation,Aaron.”

“How?You saw him!He was horrified that we were touching…that we were going to…well,maybewe were going to…”I looked away.Maybe I had misread Jon’s signals,but not Jeff’s.

“No maybe about it,Aaron.I was going to kiss you.”He laughed.“Not now,though.”

I glanced back at him.“Why not?”

“Why make it harder on myself?You’re completely in love with another guy.It was all over your face back there.If he can’t see it,he’s an idiot.”

Horrified,I felt the blood drain from my face.“Fuck,do you think he knows?”I dropped my head into my hands,fighting the urge to vomit.

“Breathe,Aaron,”Jon whispered as he softly rubbed circles on my upper back.“I’m not sure if he could tell,but I could.It’s time for you to confront your feelings.If he doesn’t feel that way,you need to move forward.”
