I'll admit I've never had grandiose plans for my future. I'm really more of a "take it as it comes" sort of dude. But making minimum wage at a small-town sandwich shop wasn't exactly what I had in mind after college graduation either. It may not be an exciting life, but it isn't so bad. At least I have my amazing coworkers and friends who always try to make the workday fun.Everyone, that is, except the new guy, Simon.That guy is not fun. He's broody and silent, but I can tell that something interesting is brewing just under his surface. Day after day I try to get his attention, try to coax him out of his shell. He won't even look at me, let alone talk. It's making me a little crazy, if I'm honest.I don't even know why I care—I'm not gay. But there's just something about him that draws me in. He's become this mystery that I need to unravel. Until one night I get a small peek behind Simon's mask—a shared kiss, just a minute in time, and then it's gone. I don't even know what to think. All I know is I need more.I want all the hidden parts of him.I don't understand this obsession, this need.And I'm afraid that there isn't much I wouldn't do for just a minute more.
