14 Chapter 14

“You have a kid?” Like Charlie had some contagious disease or something.

After that, Dean couldn’t leave fast enough. And Charlie still had enough time to dress to the nines and get to Bryce’s before his time ran out.

Bryce had apparently had the same thought, because Charlie had never seen him looking so nice. He wore black trousers and a black shirt with a dark blue tie. He also had a slightly shy smile that made his already handsome face even more charming and boyish.

Charlie smiled. This was already easier than Dean. This was his best friend, the man who knew him in and out. “I’m glad I guessed right about to wear.” He swept his gaze over Bryce, hungrier than he expected. “You look fantastic.”

“Thanks. It feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve had to dress up for a first date. Though I guess it’s been even longer for you.”
