Why this must be read:
For me, this is a classic Chris story. Chris decides he is ready to be in love again and that the only possible prospects are the other guys in the group. Of those, Joey is the one he picks and he sets out to woo him in a fantastic and cracked-out Chris fashion. Joey doesn't know what hits him.
Watching them overcome straightness, misunderstandings, baby mama jealousy and everything else life throws at them to live happily ever after is a sheer delight, but feeling tender-hearted about Chris and his issues with love brings the story to a whole other level of heart-breaking goodness.
Once outside, Joey said, “you’re such a goddamn freak, man.”
“So I’ve been told,” Chris said, smiling around the neck of his beer bottle. He took another mouthful then sat back, crossing his ankles together and lounging. “I thought you’d appreciate the fact I took some time to figure out we’re meant to be.”
“The flowcharts were a nice addition,” Joey said. He sounded heavily sarcastic, but Chris honestly thought they were a nice idea, especially the one that contrasted time and hotness, which firmly concluded that Joey just got better with age, like a fine Italian wine. “And who knew you were such a catch? I had no fucking idea, Kirkpatrick.”
Chris lifted up his hand. “Say no more, Joe. I’m beginning to suspect that you might not be taking this seriously.” Chris turned to look at Joey, who was obviously not taking this remotely serious at all, his face all twisted up in a disbelieving expression. “See. I went through everyone in the group, and all the men I knew, and you came out on top.” Chris grinned. “Ha. I said top. Jumping the gun a bit there.”
“No kidding.” Joey frowned. “Kirkpatrick, I swear to god, if you’re fucking with me.”
“Not yet, baby.” Chris shook his bottle at bit then drank a bit more, the sour taste of lime almost overwhelming the putrid taste of Corona. “Dude, seriously. I gave this a lot of thought, and I think we’d be good. Of course, if you don’t think so, tell me, and I’ll go find someone else. If only Justin hadn’t pissed off Wade with all those castration threats for fucking Britney. Pity.”
