“Usually.” Dixon lowered his tea. “I saw you and what you ordered and noticed little things about you. You’re the way you are with people, although you’re shy and don’t want to interact. You try.” He paused. “Yet I never actually noticed you. Never realized…”
Reginald waited for him to finish but when he didn’t. “What?”
“That you were so damn cute.” Dixon frowned.
“That’s what a man likes to hear. He’s cute. Then said person who says it frowns. So great for the ego.” Reginald said dryly.
He took out Dixon’s sandwich then grabbed his and leaned back against the loveseat.
“I didn’t mean it like that.” Dixon protested as he unwrapped his sandwich.
“Then how did you mean it?” Reginald took a bite of his bagel.
He hummed as the cinnamon bagel and strawberry cream cheese filled his mouth. Dixon went still beside him. Reginald looked at him. He inhaled as he met those intent stormy grey eyes. The need in them made Reginald want to do all sort of things. And none of them should be done in public. Well except for maybe one, if he could keep it tame. Before he lost his nerve Reginald leaned closer making it deliberately slow so Dixon could stop him if he didn’t want too. Dixon just watched him come closer. Reginald went in and he kissed him gently. Dixon opened and Reginald stroked his tongue into his mouth and the taste of his Sultry Strawberry tea filled him. Reginald swipe his tongue taking in that taste and what was uniquely Dixon. It was a heady rush. Reginald pulled back slightly before he got carried away. Dixon stared a small smile on his lips.
“I guess you decided what to do about me then?”
Reginald stiffened. He hadn’t, he’d just went with his baser instinct. Yet it had felt right at the time.
“No, no, my geeky, sexy man. You kissed me and there is no going back.” Dixon smiled wide. “I’ll leave it up to you to decide when we’ll go out. Give you some time…for now. But I’m not a patient man when I want something.”
Reginald couldn’t resist. He kissed him briefly again before sitting back.
“Ok.” Reginald tried to still his racing heart. He was way outside what he was used too.
