A Date With Destiny (boyxboy)

9 - Jealous

Previously...

"Wow. Okay, let's find Nick a man!"

********

"See anyone of interest?"

"Not yet." Nick sighs.

"He's cute." Destiny points to a taller guy, about six-two. He has broad shoulders, and really nice teeth.

"Go see if he's smart. Ask him his opinion on biomechanics." Reagan pushes Nick.

"I don't even know anything about biomechanics!" He protests.

"Ask him!"

"Ugh." He moans but walks over.

"Hey, I couldn't help but notice that you're carrying a flip phone?" He asks.

"Well, yeah. I am. Why?" The man replies.

"I just think it's refreshing that some people of our generation still use the classics. I myself choose not to own an iPhone or Android." Nick smiles.

"He's so adorable! Look at his smile!" Destiny squeals.

"Shh! Watch!" Reagan tuts.

"Yeah, I find life more enjoyable if we don't let electronics consume us. My name's Riley, by the way."

"Nick, nice to meet you. Are you in college?" He motions to his college book store they were standing outside of.

"Oh, yeah. I'm a senior, though. I'm really interested in being an architect. Do you go here?"

"I do, I'm a junior. I want to pursue engineering. Funny, we're both into building stuff." He laughs lightly.

Riley laughs, too.

"They are so hitting it off!" Destiny whispers.

"Quiet! Wait for him to get his number!" Reagan tuts again.

"Weird that I haven't seen you around. Do you play any sports? In any fraternities?" Riley asks.

"No, but I am involved in a club." He remained vague.

"What club? I'm in one, too." Riley tilts his head.

"Uh, the LGBT Freedom club..."

"Dude, I'm in that club too! How come I haven't seen you?" Riley's eyes light up.

"I guess they separate the grades. Huh, that's weird. I have to go, I'll see you around?" Nick says.

"Wait," Riley grabs Nick's phone from his pocket.

"My number." He slips the phone in Nick's hand, winks, and walks away.

Nick walks back to his friends.

"I don't even have to know what was said. You face literally says it all." Reagan laughs.

"He gave you his number! He winked! It was a match made in heaven!" Destiny was jumping up and down at this point.

"He wants to be an architect. He's in the club I'm in. He's a senior. His name is Riley." Nick lists everything.

"Really? What club?" Kendall asks.

"Um..."

"We won't judge you. We've been through this." Reagan sighs.

"The LGBT Freedom club..." He looks at his shoes.

"Since when?" Destiny asks loudly.

Nick cringes. "Since freshman year!"

"Wow."
