Date med Gabe - Gabriel

Jack havde været på dates. Med mange dates. Med mænd og kvinder. Han havde mødt den intimiderende Mauga, charmerende Baptiste, nogle flinke (men ret unge) kvinder og så en vred, hvidhåret kvinde, der ikke overraskende var politibetjent, og hun udspurgte som ’the bad cop’.

Han kørte en hånd igennem håret og var nu på vej imod kvindens partner, Gabriel. Den mest attraktive af mændene herinde, jævnaldrende, samme arbejde og sammen med en kvinde.

Han rømmede sig og sendte ham et sendt ”Gabriel, right? I’m Jack. Do you want have a chat?”

Jack var i et par blå badebukser og hans krop var fyldt med ar!

Gabriel havde siddet og holdt øje med de andre deltagere, set hvordan de intergerede med hinanden og hvem de virkede til at kunne med. Han havde godt set den søde fyr bevæge sig her over. Efter en interessant samtale med Ashe.

Han lod blikket glide over Jack og gengældte smilet. Good looking guy. "Hey. Sure thing. You can call me Gabe"

"Gabe, alright" Jack nikkede og satte sig overfor ham. "So.. how has your day been so far?" spurgte han

Gabriel smilte svagt. "Interesting, that's for sure" sagde han og nikkede lidt. "What about you? You were here with that guy, right?" han nikkede mod fyren, der nu sad og snakkede med Ashe

"Yes, I'm with Cassidy" svarede Jack med et smil ".. or I suppose was.. since we are exes now.. but yes."

Gabriel nikkede lidt. "Right, and you issued the ultimatum, right? Why is that?" spurgte han interesseret

Jack brummede lidt "hm.. well, we have some common goals.. but I'd like to get there before I'm too old" svarede han

Gabriel nikkede lidt og så Jack an. "And how does he feel about that?" spurgte han interesseret

"He's young, it doesn't seem real to him" sukkede Jack "I don't think he can imagine me getting too old to do things.."

Gabriel brummede lidt. "Hrm .. young people" han rystede lidt på hovedet. "How do you feel about him not being sure?"

"I'm not loving it" Jack smilede lidt "it's never nice when someone doesn't seem sure... it's nice to feel desired and needed"

Gabriel nikkede lidt og rynkede brynene. "Yeah, I think you should have that in a relationship"

Jack nikkede "and those feelings can feel like they are missing when he's not ready for marriage" sukkede han

Gabriel nikkede lidt og så ham an. "Yeah, but you don't think they actually are, or?"

"I guess I hope they're not missing" brummede Jack "he's had a pretty bad break-up, so he can have some issues with commitment. And I want to be supportive, but it can also make you wonder"

"Ah" Gabriel nikkede lidt. "Yeah, I've been there" han kastede et blik mod Ashe. "I'm pretty sure she isn't over her ex, and well .. don't want her to commit because of that"

"Oh" Jack så undrende på ham "so she is not over her ex, but wants to commit?"

Gabriel nikkede med et svagt suk. "I think that's why she wants to commit" han rystede lidt på hovedet

"Huh" Jack rynkede brynene "no, that's no good" han så imod Ashe "she seem very aggresive"

Gabriel kom til at smile lidt. "Heh, yeah .. she sure can be" sagde han fondly

"You like that" Jack nikkede, that made sense ".... do you ride?"

Gabriel blinkede og grinte lidt. "Nah, big animals isn't really my thing"

"Huh... really?" JAck så undrende på ham "she seemed like that was important"

Gabriel rynkede brynene lidt. "Well, she does like riding. I think her ex and her went riding together"

"Hm. She seemed angry that I can't ride" sagde han skeptisk "and she didn't seem interested"
