Chapter One

gNice weather today, huh?h This was one of my many attempts to strike any kind of conversation.

gHm-Mm.h His responses were never longer than three syllables, at least not in the last month Ifve driven him.

gSo you think you can tell me a little about yourself?h

gNot really.h See, three syllables, I told you.

gOh come on! Ifm always the one whofs talking; donft you get bored?h

gI donft mind.h

The entire time he never averted his gaze off the passing scenery. I couldnft keep staring at him because the car would have crashed by now. I still kept glancing in his direction, hoping to catch something in that impassive face. It didnft matter how many times I looked at him or what I said, he always had the same stoic expression. I knew that he was hiding something, but he just wouldnft offer any information. The rest of the trip was spent in silence just like the many other times Ifd given him rides. He always ended up ruining the mood. Damn, I wish he would at least turn toward me so I can see his face more clearly.

After not more than a ten minute drive, I pulled into the college and he simply got out without a word like it was the most normal thing in the world. But then he bent down before closing the door and in monotone thanked me. I was ready to curse at him but there were people around. Damn him and his cold exterior. Am I that intimidating? I think Ifm pretty good looking and not in the least bit scaryc especially with my infamous heart-melting smile.

Alright, starting tomorrow, Ifm going to work late again. He doesnft need a ride; the weather is fine. Hefll be alright on his own, just like before.

gHey Alex, you want to come out with me tonight? Itfs Friday, we can stay out as late as you want.h

Crap, itfs the bossfs son. I canft refuse him unless I want to risk getting fired. Sure, Ifm the manager, but therefs still someone above me: Mr. Mark Duvall. Hefs a nice enough guy, promoting me so quickly in the last five years. His son on the other hand is a good-for-nothing jerk. Hefs been trying to get me in his bed ever since he first saw me. Damn him, and damn this job. Ifd quit if I didnft need it so badly.

gI have plans tonight. Ifm leaving early and meeting this guy in New York,h I respond quickly. A little too quickly.

gYou always say no. What can I do you to make you say eyesf?h

Nothing! Now shut your trap.

gYou know I already have someone...h I trail off nervously, knowing full well that I donft have anyone.

gSo faithful, Alex. Thatfs what I love about you.h He gave me a quick wink before walking away. Whew, another crisis avoided. Alright, now I just have to leave early to stick to my story.

I saw Daniel again, walking briskly down the street. He didnft hold out his thumb or anything, but I stopped anyway. I couldnft resist. He stopped walking and glanced into the window.

gHey, long time no see. Want to jump in?h

gThanks.h I wonder sometimes if he really is a robot. Everything about him is so methodical from his speech to his walk.

gSo, what are you doing tonight?h I asked, trying to be casual.

gNothing much.h

gWhat do you do at the College?h

He shrugged off the answer like he always does. Suddenly I wanted to just drive him home and tie him up, torture him until he gave me an answer, but I seriously thought he wouldnft tell me even if I did.

gWhere were you?h Did I just hear that? I thought I heard some actual emotion in that voice. Perhaps evenc concern.

gWhat?h

gThe last couple of months,h he trailed off, obvious curiosity in his voice. Wow, okay that was more than three syllables. Are we making progress finally?

gI was working late everyday. Didnft know you were gonna miss me.h I chirped the last sentence and turned my face to flash a smile. He ignored me. Damn him, he asked the question and didnft even listen to the answer!

gTill what time?h What? Whatfs going on here? He was all of a sudden rather affectionatec in a very cold way, but affectionate nonetheless.

gWhy do you want to know?h He shrugged but didnft say anything. I *so* knew that was going to happen. gWell, I close up the place. So around nine-thirty to ten ofclock.h

gDo you want to do something tonight?h Okay, where the hell did that come from? That was definitely not the usual Daniel that I knew for about a month.

gDid you just ask me out?h Finally he turned to look at me. Man, thatfs a lot of progress in one day; I felt like pigs were going fly soon. Maybe even hell had frozen over.

gI asked if you wanted to do something but if you put it that way, then yes.h Okay, this was possibly one of the strangest situations I have ever been in. A Jewish guy that I drove around for the sake of being a good person just asked me out. Doesnft matter whether itfs a date or just a small get together; Ifve never been asked out by a Jew before. Okay, maybe I have, but Daniel is like the most devout person Ifve ever met.

gUm, what are we going to do?h

gI donft know. I just thought I should really thank you before you disappear again.h Oh, so he wasnft making a move on me. Just common courtesy. Good thing he never looked directly at me when he spoke, because my face had disappointment written all over. God, what the hell was I thinking anyway? I donft seriously have a crush on him? Do I?

gI guess Ifve got nothing going on tonight.h Pathetic, I never have anything going on.

gThen can you drop by here,h he hands me a card, gAt around seven thirty and then we can have dinner or something.h

gYeah, sure. Is this where you live?h

gMm-hmm.h Then as suddenly as the conversation started, hefs silent again and back to looking out the window.
