ODDS OF LOVE - SEASON THIRTEEN

Episode 78

" I don't care what that idiot next door said," Spencer said through gritted teeth as he brushed his teeth in their bathroom that was just off their bedroom upstairs. He spit toothpaste in the sink basin and rinsed off his toothbrush before replacing it in his little holder. " Nothing happened between Aiden Norris and I. We just had lunch at Nigel's restaurant. That's all. Nothing more. Nothing less. "

Nothing but him touching the man's hand, Spencer thought as he wiped off his mouth with a bath towel. And , feeling the strangest sensation when their skin had touched. It was very odd really. He had never experienced such a thing before. Well. Except when he touched DuBuis or vice versa.

DuBuis eyed him as he examined his reflection in the mirror, noticing more grey in his close cropped black hair that hadn't been there before. He idly wondered if this Aiden character had grey hair. " I believe you. I just want you to be careful around him. You don't know anything about the man really. Beyond the very basics. Which is nothing. "

Spencer shrugged and moved his chair into the bedroom followed by his husband in his cotton undershirt and boxers. " I don't think there's a need to worry about Aiden. He seems very nice. And he has a son around Luci , Sol and Theodore's age. The grandmother seems interesting. She's older than Dad and Glory but I think they might like to meet her. We should invite him.... them to dinner one night soon. "

" Maybe. How old is he?"

Spencer carefully maneuvered his body from his wheelchair to the bed. " A.J. They're thirteen. A.J. goes by they and them. They're non binary. "

DuBuis rolled his eyes as he slipped under the covers alongside Spencer. "No. Not the kid. The man. This Avery or whatever. "

" Aiden. Oh , I don't know. Late thirties. Maybe. I don't know. Why ? "

Great, DuBuis thought. He was younger too. Not that it mattered. He turned to his husband and kissed him on the lips. " No matter. I love you. " Why did his voice suddenly sound so pleading and whiny? So desperate? Desperate for what? And , jealous..... No ..... He didn't get jealous. Although Spencer had never given him a reason to be jealous before. Not that he had now.

Spencer smiled as he wrapped his arms around his husband's muscled body. " I love you too. Let's plan this dinner for this weekend. Invite the new neighbors. Dad , Glory,  Alfred and Gerald. Richard and Nigel. "

DuBuis didn't know why he was not feeling this whole dinner plan of Spencer's. He grumbled ," Sure. Why not invite Winston and Joe too ? "

Spencer said ," Oh , of course ! How could I forget Winston? And we have to invite Faith and Joy. Did I tell you I added them and Winston to a Baby and Me group on LifeChapters ? I mean the pregnancy just started but it's never too early to start practicing to raise the perfect child. Did I show you the cutest picture Miracle drew at the lunch? I think she has artistic talent. It's bound to help her win the baby beauty pageant next month. Don't you think so? "

What DuBuis thought was that he loved this man so much it almost scared him. He would hate to ever lose Spencer.
