You Plus Me Equals - Chapter 40

“All of it, all the time, insults… ”

“I even punched you.”

“Besides, I don’t even like you! And you…”

“You don’t even know me!” he said incredulously.

“Yes, but, but…” Sam said, pouting, he stuck out his big red and puffy, swollen bottom lip, convincingly.

Evan’s stomach flipped excitedly. He shivered but ignored it and started walking away again.

“We can make Leo happy!” Sam called after him.

Evan stopped about four feet away from Sam.

He turned back to look at him.

Sam smiled and motioned with one finger in front of him, then down at the ground. Summoning Evan back to him.

Evan stared at him annoyed but still walked back, an unhappy scowl plastered on his face.

‘God couldn’t this beast of an idiot know when he should give up.’ Evan wanted to growl. ‘He was trying his very best not to give in to temptation. And Sam was not making it easy!’

“See, I thought you would come back.” Sam didn’t continue but stood there smiling smugly at Evan.

Evan glowered and gave out a small, curt growl. But sighed.

Sam smiled. He must think I have just given in to his charms. ‘He is misunderstanding the growl for a begrudging acceptance of his plan, shouldn’t you correct him?’

Evan sighed.

“How can we make Leo happy by both us dating each other?” He asked to give into Sam’s flair for the dramatic.

“Leo is shy and Max is an idiot, so that means kids like them will naturally avoid any awkward situations that could happen.” Sam smiled as if overjoyed to be allowed to continue the brilliant scheme he had just concocted on the spot.

“Like this one..” Evan muttered.

“So they will naturally try to avoid each other,” Sam said, continuing on as if Evan hadn’t spoken.

“I want to avoid this conversation.” Evan sniped.

Sam gave him a look of annoyance.

“So if you and I date and invite them out with us because… Oh, say we don’t want to be alone on the first few dates because we are shy…”

Evan scoffed, “You… Shy… Pfft.”

Sam gave him a look.

“It could happen.” He insisted, flushing.

Evan glanced away then back. Trying to compose himself.

“It will force them to spend time around each other. Time, which… We can use it to bring them closer together.” Sam finished, Clearly waiting for Evan’s elated words of encouragement and flattery at his wonderful idea.

Evan stood straighter and actually thought about it for a moment, thought about what this harebrained fool wanted to do. And how it kind of benefited him too.

‘And it could benefit him.’

‘But he didn’t think Sam was fully aware of just what he was offering. What it would all entail, they would have to actually be together for a time to be convincing, that meant physical contact. Touching each other, kissing each other… Be close, doing intimate things.’ Evan shivered delectably. It wasn’t a terrible thought.

‘After all, he had been pent up lately. He had been looking for a release too. Life was just stressful sometimes, and a sexual fling could be very good for him. It really wasn’t a terrible idea at all.’ He looked Sam up and down.

‘And if he was honest. Sam was a freaking snack.’

‘A delicious, delicate, posh little bite, he wanted to tear into. A snack that was being offered to him of its own free will.’ He shivered with excitement.

‘Sam was extremely enticing, a temptation almost too good to resist.’

‘He almost couldn’t wait to delve into him, to feel him whine beneath him. The feeling of that naïve sexy man turning into putty in his hands.’ Evan sucked in his bottom lip and stared into those beautiful, clear dark chocolate brown eyes.
