is necessary to avoid talking about anything of substance.
I’m not sure if I should even ask him about Austin’s allegations that I’m a beard. What if he’s not right? I don’t want to accuse Drew of being less than honest and insinuate that he’s gay if his brother is completely wrong about everything.
I don’t know much about being in the closet, but I’m pretty sure you’re not just supposed to pull a person out of it. I think they’re supposed to come out when they’re ready.
“Great.” Out comes Drew’s big smile again. I’m starting to feel like it’s almost a defense mechanism. He gives his charismatic smiles when he’s uncomfortable and not quite sure what to say or do.
As he turns away I think he’s getting ready to leave, but then he spins back towards me. “You have an unlimited line of credit so you can buy whatever you want. I just wanted you to know.”
He doesn’t wait for a response as he hurries out the door.
It doesn’t take long for my sister to arrive. “You need to tell me everything,” she demands as she pushes her way through the front door. “Let’s cook something. I’m starving.”
“We definitely have plenty of food.” I grab her elbow and lead her into the gourmet kitchen.
“Someday I’ll have a kitchen this nice,” she says as she takes it all in.
“What do you feel like eating?” I ask as I open the huge refrigerator.
She pokes her head inside and lets out a sigh. “I was half hoping there wouldn’t be so much to choose from. Ooh, what about portabella mushroom sandwiches?” She pulls out a small package of the large mushrooms. “These look fabulous.”
“Sure,” I agree. I don’t have much of an appetite, but I have a feeling that will quickly change when my sister starts to cook and fills the kitchen with delicious fragrances.
As Suzie prepares to grill the mushrooms I look through the bread bin for the nicest looking rolls.
“So what’s a beard?” Suzie asks.
“Nothing like getting right to the point.”
She laughs. “You know me. I’m a straight shooter. That’s why you love me.”
“That’s one of the many reasons I love you.” I place two focaccias on a plate on the counter. “A beard is someone who pretends to be in a romantic relationship with someone who is gay in an effort to hide his sexual orientation.”
Her eyes grow wide as the realization sinks in. “Drew Graham, one of New Jersey’s Sexy Eligible Bachelors, is gay?”
“That’s what his brother told me.”
She nods, but I can see by the look in her eyes that her wheels are turning. “But it does make a lot of sense when you think about it. It would explain why he just doesn’t get a real fiancée. I mean, he is sexy as hell.”
“Wait until you see his brother.”
She narrows her eyes at me. “Don’t even think about going there, Mazzy. That has nothing but trouble written all over it.”
I shake my head. “I wouldn’t…” I trail off. Would I ?
She grabs my shoulders and looks deep into my eyes. “We need that money. We’re going to use it to fund our dreams of opening a restaurant, remember? Don’t mess this up.”
“I won’t,” I assure her. Of course she hasn’t seen Austin yet.
As if on cue Austin comes strolling into the kitchen. How is it possible for him to look hotter every time I see him?
He looks back and forth between the two of us. “I think I’m seeing double,” he jokes.
“As if we’ve never heard that one before,” Suzie pushes back.
“Can I assume you’re making enough for three? It smells delicious.”
“I don’t remember inviting you,” I say.
When Austin grins at me it sends a wave of shivers through my body. Stay in control , I remind myself. You need the money more than you need a night under the sheets with bad boy Austin Graham. And that’s all it would ever be anyway, one night. Probably one night of the hottest, most mind blowing sex imaginable, but still just one night.
