After dinner we move to the seating area. "Here," Rob says while throwing the remote to me, "You can get the movie ready and I'll get something to drink, would you like another glass of wine?"

"I'd love to," I say, smiling at the handsome guy standing in front of me. His eyes capture mine and I feel butterflies twirl in my stomach.

"Okay, I'll be right back," he says while walking to the fridge. I turn on the TV and try to find Netflix, and I succeed just as Rob sits down next to me with two glasses of wine in his hands.

"Man," he says while leaning back into the sofa, "I keep forgetting I'm not a student anymore. A few glasses of wine and I'm already feeling tipsy!"

I chuckle, "Well you and me both then." I raise my glass, "Cheers."

"Cheers," he answers, while smiling sheepishly.

I was not lying. The wine went to my head and I'm feeling very relaxed and happy. Every now and then alcohol makes life seem a lot simpler. Now the only thing I want is Rob. After an initial sip I put my glass down and gesture to Rob. "Get over here," I say, "I've missed you for long enough now."

He smiles. "Don't mind if I do," he says as he scoots closer and places his legs over mine. I feel his right arm wrap around me and with his other hand he takes the remote and starts the film. Not getting nearly enough of him, I place a quick kiss on his cheek. His weight presses against me in a comfortable manner and his head rests against my shoulder. This feels nice, but somehow it also feels a bit weird to have a guy this close to me. Strange but exciting.

The movie is quite good – of course it is, Rob picked it – but I can't seem to focus. My thoughts are with the attractive man sitting next to me. I wonder whether he is feeling the same things that I am feeling, but I am afraid to ask. Truth be told, I want him. I want to rip his clothes off and pin him to the couch. Make that focused frown disappear from his forehead and his eyes roll back in his head. I swear to God that man has awakened something inside me that I have not felt in a long time and it is driving me crazy.

I am cheating on my wife. I've already crossed the line of what is decent, and now I want more. It's just that I'm not sure whether he shares this desire. Every time I hint at it, he gets all red and flustered, for example just now when I called him sexy. Based on that reaction I think I should back off. I don't want to do something that would make him uncomfortable because even though we have not been close for that long, he already means the world to me. Still, his hesitance and flustered reactions do not rhyme with what happened that one time when he went down on me. Also, what am I doing here then if he doesn't want to hook up?

As the movie progresses, I feel his hand travel from my arm up to my neck and then he pulls me in for a kiss. I am taken a bit by surprise, but I don't mind. Softly I place my hand against the back of his neck, trying to keep him here as long as possible. When we're done and turn back to the film on the TV, he leaves his hand resting on my chest, mindlessly fidgeting with one of the buttons on my shirt.

I don't know if he knows it but that little gesture is making me crazy. Good crazy, I mean. Crazy for him.

"Jesse?" His soft voice interrupts my little train of consciousness.

"Yeah?" I respond, trying to remain calm because he can probably hear my heartbeat with his head resting against my shoulder. He looks up at me, his fingers still toying with the button. "Can I just be really honest for a second? In the context of being myself and all?" he asks it with that adorable frown on his forehead.

"Please," I answer. Lord what is it? Is he going to say he isn't entirely sure? That we should take it slow? Stop here? He lets go of me – unfortunately – and reshifts so he can look me in the eye.

"I am not sure what to do with myself."

"What do you mean?"

His eyes look dark and urgent and a faint smile rests on his lips. "I want you."

Those words take me by surprise and hit me like a sledgehammer, bashing the remains of the wall of reserve that was holding back my desires. I do not need more encouragement than that.

"Okay," I smile, "I think we can manage that." And with those words, I push him back into the couch cushions, firmly pressing my lips against his.
