AS A TEEN, THE crush on my older brother’s best friend was to be
expected. Having those feelings stick for more than a decade was not.
There were nights when it was particularly difficult to deny my attraction
to him. Tonight was one of them. Jake stood by my side in a bespoke
tuxedo; he was too tall and big to get anything off the rack. His blond-red
hair was styled to perfection, his beard trimmed and shaped and glorious,
and his smile came easily. Dressing well was one of his things, whether at
an elegant party or at the office, and I loved to admire the results every
time.
I sighed and gazed around the party hall. The Construction Cares
Fundraiser Gala was a favorite charity of my family’s, and they attended
every year. This time, the events room had been decorated with paintings
from students of all ages, carefully showcased in tasteful, warm low light.
The theme, The Art of Building Futures, promoted local artists and
auctioned it to the rich people around us. I preferred to donate money
directly and skip the party, but I hadn’t been able to stay home for this one.
And now I had to contemplate the feelings I had for Jake, and how they
rattled inside.
He laughed at something another of my brother’s friends said, alongside
everyone else. The expression on his face prickled in my chest. It wasn’t
easy to be next to him, me in my fancy dress and him looking so amazing.
Treating each other as friends, and surrounded by Max and Javier, my
brother Gabe, and my parents. Whatever story Max told was outrageous and
hilarious, and on a normal evening I’d be held rapt by it, laughing with
everyone else. There was something about the gala that night that shook the
box I confined to the attic of my soul, where I held my longings and kept
them away from sight.
Another sigh made it through my lips.
“Is everything okay?” Jake leaned closer to me. “You seem… off.”
I pursed my lips and gazed all the way up to his blue-gray eyes. “Do you
enjoy these galas?”
“Not really. I only come when Gabe bugs me extra hard about them.”
“Same. I only attended because my mom really wanted me to.”
I stared at her, and she smiled at me. I smiled back. She thought I could
use a nice distraction; that it would help me get over the frustration my
most recent break up had left me with. I adored my mom, and her heart had
been in the right place, but coming to the gala had only achieved one thing.
Adding a new layer to my disappointment.
My dad interlocked his fingers with hers and they walked away, likely to
greet one of their friends.
