“See, you didn’t even know. And you never went to any of the proms or parties.”
“Don’t like to dance.” That came out in a mumble.
Aaron allowed a short pause to grow before speaking again. “Are you?”
His question shocked me more than a little. I’d never expected anyone to come right out and ask. “Gay? I…I don’t know.”
“Don’t know? Hell, Ben, you’re nineteen years old. A guy knows by then.”
“Not me.”
“What makes you think that you are…uh, might be.”
“The things you mentioned. And…” I stumbled to a halt, took a breath, and tried again. “And when I, you know, get it off…”
“Jerk off, you mean?”
I nodded. “Yeah. It’s Josh or Win or you I think about when I get it.”
“Me?” His dark eyebrows climbed his forehead.
“Yeah, sometimes.”
“Did you take Josh up on his offer last night?”
“No.”
