Eee! I am just about finished writing Matty & Antoni's book, which means it's time for me to start sharing teasers with you!
This is from their first meeting, when Matty finds Antoni having a breakdown in his driveway, stressed about raising four kids, following the tragic car crash where he lost his best friends.
“So, is a tight budget why you were you crying in my driveway?” Matty asked.
“God.” Antoni covered his face with his hands again, his voice so muffled. “This is so embarrassing.”
“Okay, you talk, I’ll chop things. I won’t even look at you.”
Antoni laughed, looking up, his smile real this time as he brushed his hair off his forehead. “I do look pretty bad, huh?”
“Well, I didn’t say that,” Matty blurted out. He turned away, his ears hot and blindly rummaged around in the refrigerator.
God, he wasn’t flirting with Antoni.
He wasn’t … he never responded to people like that. He didn’t get horny for strangers the way his teammates did. He’d seen Nico Arents go from flirting to sticking his tongue down some random person’s throat in about five seconds flat and it absolutely baffled Matty.
He didn’t do that—couldn’t do that. He just wasn’t wired that way at all.
And it wasn’t like Antoni’s smile made Matty want to bend him over the counter or anything close to it. He wasn’t horny for him.
But the whole situation did make Matty want to wrap the guy up in a big hug and tell him everything was going to be okay.
