Unwanted Epiphany

Gustav swallowed his saliva feeling a sudden burst of heat. Julius' dark eyes said clearly that he wasn't lying when he said Gustav was totally his type.

Okay, just take it easy, admonished Meiden to himself.

"I..." he spoke up but didn't know what he wanted to say. Does he want to discourage Julius or encourage him? Does he want to go to bed with him or... "I had a... hard breakup. That's why I stopped coming here."

Why did he tell him this? Why did he open up to him? If he wanted to sleep with him, he shouldn't tell him about things like an ex. It totally spoiled the mood.

"But now you're ready to move on," smiled Julius warmly. "I'm glad you just met me now."

"Oh?"

"Because not only I can listen, but I'm also unearthly good in bed."
