Chapter 106
“Why, I mean, what’s all this got to do with you?” Gary too seemed to be getting angry. This fuelled Paul’s own emotions.
“Quite a bit, actually.” He stood up and began pacing. “Look, dick-head, you lied to Trevor. For the few months I lived here he’d often talk about you. It was obvious, even to me that he loved you, still loves you, and was devastated when you left him.”
“I—”
Paul was on a roll. Pointing an accusing finger at Gary, he said, “And I’m not going to sit back and let you hurt him all over again. He deserves someone who’ll love him, treat him right and who won’t leave him when they’ve scratched their itch.”
Gary raised an eyebrow. “Someone like you?”
Paul wasn’t expecting such a come back. He sat down again on the sofa.
“I mean it seems obvious you care for him, might even love him. Is that it, are you in love with Trevor?” Gary’s voice had moderated.
