Days had passed since Matt found out about Brian's feelings for him. They hadn't spoke about what happened since that night, which hurt Brian immensely. He wished Matt would tell him how he really felt. He wasn't sure if Matt really meant the kiss or if it was just a spur of the moment thing. Brian knew he couldn't tell the others, so it was killing him deep down. He just wanted to tell someone about what happened, but he knew none of the guys would keep their mouths shut. Tippi, he thought. He knew Tippi could keep a secret and give him good advice because he was dying to know what he should do about the whole situation. He grabbed his phone and gave her a call.

“Hello?” She answered.
“Hey it's Bri. Can we talk?”
“Sure thing. I'm out with Becca at the moment, but I'll gladly come over when we're done.”
“Alright cool. I just really need to get something off my chest.”
“Oh alright.” Tippi was confused. What could he possibly want to talk about?
“Alright well I'll see you later?”
“Yes of course.”
“Great.”

Brian hung up and stood up from the couch to head into the kitchen. He was dying for a beer. He grabbed a Bug Light from the fridge and went back into the living room to sit down. He opened his beer, taking a long sip. He hoped Tippi would get there soon. He was eager to tell her about what happened the other night at Matt's. The sound of his phone ringing snapped him from his thoughts. Must be Tippi calling back.

“Hello?”
“Hey, hot stuff.” Matt.
“Oh hey, Matt. What's up?” He bit his lip.
“Just calling to see what you were up to.”
“Oh. Well Tippi's coming over soon.”
“Oh that's cool. Maybe we can all hang out?”
“Uh yeah that sounds good. I'll call her back and let her know to bring Becca along.” Fuck my life.
“Sounds good. See you in about an hour?”
“Yes.”
“Awesome. Bye, Bri.”
“Bye, Matt.”

Brian hung up. He had to call Tippi back. He didn't care if Becca was there when he told Tippi about Matt he just needed to get this off his chest before Matt came over. He only had an hour. He quickly dialed Tippi's number and waited for her to answer.

“Hey.”
“Matt's coming over in an hour. Wants all of us to hang out. Bring Becca with you and please hurry and get here before he comes. I really need to get this off my chest.”
“Oh. Well alright. I was just about to drop her off, but we'll head over now.”
“Yes, hurry please.”
“No problem.”

They hung up and Brian plopped his head back with a sigh. Why does this have to be so frustrating?
His buzzer went off after a couple of minutes, so he got up from the couch to buzz whoever was at the gates.

“Tippi and Becca?”
“Yes.”
“Good.”

He buzzed them in and waited for them to drive up his driveway. He opened the door and they walked up and greeted him.

“Hey,” he smiled.
“Hey. So what's up? What's gotten you so flustered?”
“Come in and I'll tell you.”
“Okay.”

He invited them in and led them to the living room. They sat down and sat in silence until Brian finally broke it.

“So Tippi, you know how I feel about Matt, right?”
“Yes of course.”
“Matt? Feel? What?” Becca asked utterly confused.
“I'm in love with him, Becca. I'm gay.”
“Well I knew you were gay, but I didn't know you're in love with Matt?”
“Yes. Anyway, apparently I admitted my undying love for him while I was drunk.”
“And?” Tippi asked.
“He believed me. He told me he sees the way I look at him. He asked me why I never told him while I was sober, but he doesn't know how hard that is. You know what I'm talking about, right Tip?”

She shot him a glare, but nodded.

“Of course.”
“Anyway, so we talked and then...” he trailed off.
“And then what? Did he leave? Did he laugh at you?”
“He kissed me.”
“He what?!” Becca squealed, somewhat excitedly.
“Yeah. I was shocked at first, but then I kissed back and let him pull me into his lap.”
“Isn't he with Ivy?”
“Yes, which is exactly why I pulled away. I told him I couldn't do that if it meant he was cheating, but then he told me he'd been thinking about breaking things off with her because she's been talking to her ex.”
“Wow what a whore,” Becca scoffed.

Brian shook his head, letting out a chuckle.

“Yeah. I just don't know what to think or how to feel. Does he have feelings for me? Should I wait for him to leave her? I'm so confused.”
“Just give it time. I'm sure you'll find out soon.”

Brian smiled. He knew she was right. He just hoped Matt felt the same and would give him a chance.
