Chapter 47

“That will be awesome,” Justin replied, and Blake heaved out a soft sigh of relief. “You can also join my friends and me for lunch sometimes. We also like to go out for a drink or two after work at least two times a week. Just to catch up and unwind.”

“I don’t want to intrude—”

“You won’t be,” Justin cut Blake off midsentence. “My friends have been urging me to invite you out to hang out with us.”

Blake thought that was a little weird. He and Justin weren’t dating or anything like that. Justin’s friends could have easily stopped by his office and ask him to come along. It wasn’t really necessary to go through Justin. Not that Blake would complain about that to Justin. He relished the opportunity to interact with Justin as much as possible. He was more than willing to grab any chance he could that would allow him to be in close proximity to Justin. He wouldn’t get to date Justin, but being friends was the next best thing, and he was grateful to have that at least.4
