Here we go.
Brian wanted to tell Anne-Louise Slater to mind her own damn business and stop digging for dirt, but he simply re-crossed his legs and kept a placid almost-smile on his face. Troy could handle it.
“
Like I said, we’ve stayed friends,” Troy said.
Anne-Louise smiled when it was clear Troy wasn’t going to give her anything else. “That’s so…refreshing. It’s like you’re rewriting all the rules. Neither of you had been involved with a man before you met, yet here you are, going strong all these years later. Does that surprise you, Brian?”
They glanced at each other, and Brian shook his head. “No, it doesn’t surprise me. Everyone makes a big deal of gender, but love is love. Troy’s the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. We make a great team, and we make each other happy. It’s simple, really.”
Anne-Louise smiled again. “Well, when you put it like that, I suppose it is.”
After a few more questions about the Grammys and Troy’s scheduled performance with Tyson, the interview was blessedly over. Brian tapped his foot while an assistant unclipped his mic, and then there were hands to shake and nods and smiles. When they were alone in the back of a limo being shepherded back to Bea’s house, Brian exhaled.
“
That wasn’t so bad, was it?” Troy grinned. “I know, you hated it. I don’t love it either, but Lara compromised on a lot.”
“
It was…acceptable. You’d better win at least one Grammy for all this media stuff we’re doing,” he grumbled before kissing Troy playfully.
“
I’ll do my very best,” Troy replied solemnly.
“
You know, I really am so fucking proud of you.”
Troy blinked, his face softening. “I know. The feeling’s mutual.”
They shared a long, slow kiss.
Sighing, Troy leaned their heads together and rubbed his hand over Brian’s thigh. “Just think, this time next week we’ll be home. In our hot tub. How does that sound?”
“
Okay, I guess. If you like that sort of thing.”
Laughing, they kissed again, and Troy nuzzled Brian’s cheek. “So you’re okay?”
“
Better than.”
With Troy, he was flying.
