Sing it again, Sam....

"I've seen you here a few times before."
"Yeah, I know you too - I remember a cute face," He has handsome dark brown eyes, long eyelashes, long sideburns and a nice smile. Underneath his lower lip is
a small triangular patch of hair.
He sits down beside me and signals the bartender.
"Care for another, Andrew?"
"Nah, I'm good for now." I can't decide whether to stay or go. I should have been in bed hours ago, but then again, this guy here has sparked my interest.
"What's the name of that guy you're usually with?"
"Who? You mean Spike? Tall, blond?"
"No... the other guy. I haven't seen him around in a while."
"You mean Aaron? He moved to Austin a few months ago."
"Is he your boyfriend?"
"Um... y.. well..." I hate binary questions that need non-binary answers. Yes, but he moved
to Austin and so I'm not sure if we're boyfriends or not anymore.
"Listen, it was nice talking to you. I have to go..." I say, getting up.
I walk home at a fast pace, but that sinking feeling in my stomach follows me all the way.

Aaron moves to Austin (Part 1)

"Can you beLIEVE it?!?!" Aaron is excited, out of breath, and pounces on me as soon as he reaches my door.
"What? What happened?"
"I just got a call - they want me!!!" We dance for joy, at my doorstep. I tell him how happy I am for him, and I truly am. He is giddy with excitement.
"So -" I lead him by the hand inside and seat him on my sofa. "tell me"
"Well, it's a faculty position - Not full time - but -"
"Adjunct?" I ask. "That's really cool, Aaron."
He is still panting with excitement. All 5'10'' of him. Of my Aaron."And how soon?"
"Well, 3 weeks." he says.
Fortunately, he fails to notice the dejected look on my face.
"We'd better start packing," I say.
"Shit.. I need to figure out where I'm going to live because I really don't want to move in with my parents."
"It's a college town. you'll do fine" I say, stroking his unkempt hair. He hasn't shaved in 2 days. He looks incredibly sexy.
There is a lump forming in my throat, and I'm struggling to keep it down.
