“Okay, well, good luck with that. I’ll be in the lab if you need me,” I tell them. But they’ve already started talking about something else and aren’t paying attention to anything I say. I walk through the tasting room and down the back hall to my lab ready to get to work.

My phone rings and I glance at the clock, seeing that I’ve been at it for a few hours. I look at the screen and see it’s Trevor calling.
“Hi.” I smile.
“Hey, beautiful. I miss you.”
“I miss you too,” I tell him.
And I do.
No harm in letting him know that. That’s not opening myself up too much, right? I could say I miss you to anyone and it doesn’t have to mean anything super serious.
“I can’t wait to see you again,” he says.
“When do you come back?” I ask.
“Before the wine event if not sooner. That’s on Saturday, right?”
“Uh, yeah, I guess. Doc just said this weekend, he didn’t specify.”
“Oh, well you may want to talk to Anna instead of Doc. She’s the one making all the other arrangements and she told me Saturday night at seven.”
“Well, okay then. Saturday at seven o’clock in the evening it is.”
Our conversation stalls. I’m not sure what to say to him. And clearly, he feels the same since he’s quiet as well. What am I supposed to say, “Hey I know you just had your fingers inside me the other day, and I liked it, but what does that mean for us as a couple, exactly?”
“You were going to tell me the other day what happened a few months ago and why you left so suddenly,” I say, tentatively. I’m hoping he’ll finally explain what went on and it will all make sense and I won’t feel sad about it anymore.
“Yeah, you know, Lex, I think that’s really something more for face-to-face, you know? I just don’t want to get into a big heavy conversation on the phone.”
“Well, what is it? I mean, did someone die?”
“No, nothing like that. I just need you to see my face when I talk to you. And I need to be able to see yours,” he says.
“Okay, but you’re kinda freaking me out, Trev.”
“I know, I’m sorry, baby. I don’t mean to. It’s not a big deal. Just something I want to discuss in person.”
“Okay, I get it,” I say, trying to mean it.
“Lex, I can’t stop thinking about the other day. That kiss, your hands on my cock, my fingers inside your pussy—”
“Trevor! I’m in my lab.”
“Aren’t you alone?”
“Yeah, but still.”
“But still, what, babe?”
“I don’t know, I mean someone could walk in. Plus, if I want to touch myself I kinda need to put you on speakerphone and it just seems awkward, you know?”
“I don’t know, actually. Lexie, I need you. Imissyou.”
“I miss you too.”
