Tommy listened attentively as Quincy talked. Nodding his head and smiling at hir. “Oh nice, projects in hand are always a good thing.” He smiled and ordered another drink. “Always good to help people. You have always been willing to help people with that.” Tommy’s drink arrived in front of him. “Glad AJ is still your manager. Where is he? Glad he is getting work for you.” He took a sip of his drink.
He continued to listen to Quincy talk. He did kind of miss hir voice. Ze was like his first true love. Tommy wanted hir to move in with him but ze refused. As Tommy took another sip of his drink, he heard what Quincy said. “I’ve been holding up. Life has been… different without you. Busy, yes, but different. I’ve missed our talks, our moments together.” He almost choked on his drink.
He replayed what ze said over in his head as he tried to think of a response.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to respond. He just wasn’t sure what to say to hir. He didn’t want to hurt hir feelings, but he knew he needed to be honest with hir. However now… now was not the time. He took a deep breath before talking “I’ve missed out talks too. I’ve missed you staying at my place some nights as well. I totally get what you mean by it’s different without me, because mine is different without you.” He smiled at Quincy. He then decided to look around and see if he could spot Helen.
This was an awkward conversation and he needed saving. His eyes looked through the sea of people and he finally spotted her. She turned around and their eyes met. He smiled at her like welcoming her into the conversation. He really hoped she would take the hint and walk over. He then turned back to Quincy and smiled. “Lots of people here today. Some I don’t know as well as others that I do.” He said with a smile and took a sip of his drink. He really hoped Quincy didn’t read too much into him looking around the yacht to see who was all here.
