Icing on the Cake

“Ashton wants to meet with us to talk.” Calum said the next day, looking at his phone.

“Because it went so well last time?” I asked sarcastically. I thought back to the time in the restaurant where Ashton told us he never really believed we were gay.

“Do you want to get together with him?” Calum asked.

“I don’t know.” I said. “What do you want to do?”

“I want to.” Calum said without hesitation.

“Really?” I asked.

“I do. I like to think the friendship we had with him was real and if there’s a chance we can try to reclaim it, I want to take it.”

“I’ll go with if you want me to.”

“I do.”

Calum texted Ashton back and told him to meet us at a restaurant the next day for lunch.

The next day, we drove there and were seated. We waited for Ashton to show up. I was always really nervous and felt a sense of dread and anxiety whenever I was about to see him. Why? Oh, right, maybe because he literally tried to drown me in a pool that one time.

Ashton texted Calum saying that he was running a few minutes late.

"Are you okay?" Calum asked me.

"No." I said. "But we have to do this.

Calum grabbed my hand. "Everything's going to be okay."

"I always believe you when you say it."
