After leaving Grant's place you head to your house so can change clothes. You fear you're gonna find Nate there but to your relief he isn't home, so you'll just have to worry about talking to him later.

After a warm and relaxing bath and with Grant always on your mind, you're now going to meet you brother for lunch.

"Hey, kid, how are you?" You greet him smiling.

"Hey you, sis. What's with that big smile?" He asks giggling.

"Oh fool. Shouldn't I be smiling?"

"I don't know... New boyfriend?" He chuckles.

You blush. "Stop. There's no boyfriend at all. How are mom and dad?"

He shrugs. "The usual. They were bugging me to ask you about the boyfriend."

"Oh dear. Can't a girl be single? Jeez."

"Yeah, I know. I think they are afraid you turn lesbian or something, you know, because you live with Nate, who is gay. I don't know, sometimes mom and dad are just weird." Your brother laughs.

"Oh yeah, weird indeed. By the way, speaking of mom and dad, I can't have the usual Sunday lunch tomorrow with them. Some work thing came up..."

"Oh, right... So how's the first week after the big promotion, uh?"

"Oh, it's almost over... It's been... interesting..." You try hard to hide a smile.

"Interesting? Right. Who's your client again?"

"Grant Gustin."

"Grant Gustin? Sebastian? Why didn't you tell me?"

You shrug. "Should I have?"

"Yeah! He's brilliant."

"Right." You remember your brother watches Glee and you also remember he's been having some problems at school because of some bullies. "By the way, how's school?"

His smiles fades. "Oh, you know, same old stuff."

"Are they still bothering you?"

"Ocasionally."

"What does that mean, Matt?"

"You know already, it's the same moron dickheads. They call me gay, harass me... same usual shit."

"Because you're in the cheerleading team? Jeez, unbelievable. I don't even know how there are still people with your age with retarded minds like those in 2012."

"Yeah, I know. I don't really care, to be honest."

"You could talk to Grant, he had similar problems just because he sang and danced when he was your age..." You immediately shut up. Why are you bringing Grant to the conversation? It's like you can't stop thinking about him.

"I know, I would love to meet him, I'm sure we could spend hours talking about sports." Matt giggles. "So, tell me, what's he like? Is he nice as he appears to be?"

"Yeah, he is." You shrug, not wanting to talk about Grant with your brother.

"So much enthusiasm!" Your brother jokes.

"Well, he's work."

"Yeah, but you're now doing the work you dreamed of, shouldn't you be a little more excited? I mean, sure, it's not like he's a major A-list actor but you have to start from somewhere, right?"

"Yeah, right. And I am excited I just don't feel like talking about work now..." You fear that if you start talking about Grant you end up revealing too much. "So... I wanna know about you, little bother, how are things with that girl? Dana, right?"

"Oh..." He blushes. "Ok... We are going to the movies later." He smiles now happily.

You spend the rest of the lunch talking about his potential girlfriend.

Later that day you are at home doing some cleaning when Nate arrives.

"Hey, sweetie, nice to finally see you..." He smiles.

"Oh, hi, Nate."

He keeps looking at you with a naughty smile. "So...? Are you gonna tell me or not?"

"Tell you what?" Of course you know what he means but you pretend you don't.

"Oh come on, where have you spent the night?"

You sigh. "Promise me you won't tell?"

"You know me. Of course not."

"I was with Grant."

"HA! I knew it!" He grins triumphantly.

You shake your head rolling your eyes. "Nate, this is not that easy..."

"No?"

"Nate, I have that stupid clause in the contract..."

"The infamous clause? I thought they were over with that..."

"No, they weren't. So, no one can know about it, ok?"

"Ok... But tell me, was it a one night stand? Or..." He looks expectantly at you.

You shrug. "How can I know? This is insane. Grant says he doesn't mind to keep this... 'thing' a secret so that we keep seeing each other. He said and I quote 'I'd rather have you this way than not have you at all'."

"Wow. He's really into you." Nate smiles excitedly. "How do you feel about that?"

"I don't know..."

"You don't?"

"No, I don't. I don't wanna put my job in jeopardy for some fling... But then I can't stay away from Grant. He's always on my mind and when I'm with him... I don't think I've ever felt this way before for anyone. Seriously, you know me for over a decade, how many times have I spent the night in someone's place after knowing someone for less than a week?"

Nate smirks. "Zero."

"Yeah. But with Grant it all feels so good and right... and yet it's so wrong."

Nate stares at you for a moment before saying, "wow, I knew he had a little crush on you and I knew you were attracted to him but this is something else. What you are describing doesn't sound like a fling at all..."

"No?"

"No. If it was a fling, you'd be sure a bit worried about your job but not too much, because things weren't serious and you knew you were just having fun..."

"Well, I don't want to talk about this anymore. I'm tired. Just promise me you will keep this a secret."

"Of course, you don't have to worry. Come here." Nate pulls you into a warm, friendly embrace and you finally seem to relax a bit.

Later, you and Nate are going out to dinner with some friends and you managed not to think about Grant too much until you receive a text message from him to your personal phone. You take a deep breath before reading it. 'Since you left I spent all this time trying to control myself from bugging you with calls or texts. I succeeded until now. Can't wait to see you tomorrow. Hope you get this kiss, X Grant'.

"Oh dear..." You mumble.

Nate looks at you puzzled but in a second he understands and smiles.

After a sigh, you start to type. 'Thanks for the kiss. I got it. Hope you get mine as well. xxx And don't try too hard to control yourself. I tried it as well and it was no use.' You tap the send button and you look at Nate with a smirk. 'I'm definitely insane.' You think for yourself.

A minute later Grant replies. With another sigh you read his text. 'Thanks for putting a big smile on my face. So we shouldn't control ourselves too much, uh? :) Well, here it goes with no control at all: I miss you, I wish you were with me, in my arms.'

You close your eyes for a second picturing that image on your head and then you type quickly, 'are you at home?'

Grant replies instantly. 'Yes. Alone.'

You suddenly stand up and you say hastily, "Sorry guys, but I have to go. Something came up... Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Enjoy the rest of the evening."

You can see Nate trying hard to avoid some giggles and you leave the restaurant to head to your car.
