RICKY DIDN'T USUALLY GET nervous, but nerves started to creep in when he looked to his phone and saw another minute of silence pass. He peeked over his menu to see EJ scanning over his menu too. Ricky was partly trying to figure out if EJ was just as clueless about the dishes as he was and partly just...looking at him.
The older boy wore a buttoned-up ironed shirt, a complimenting deep blue, the sleeves were rolled and revealed taut muscles and a summertime tan that had started to form on paler skin. Ricky felt himself blushing, thinking about how he'd seen what those muscles looked like naked. Shamefully, he wanted to see him like that all the time.
EJ smirked when he noticed Ricky eyeing him across the table. His eyes dropped to his lips, suppressing a wider smile, watching Ricky look away nervously. He was adorable.
EJ knew he was special from the start but Ricky had surprised him. He first witnessed him stumbling into an audition, unprepared and inexperienced, beating him for a lead role. Not many people could easily shake him but the name Ricky Bowen was scorched on his mind ever since. And, it still was but in a new way. Now, Ricky was giving him a hundred percent. He'd dressed up a little for him━his usual prevailing sneakers, dark Vans that complimented the royal blue turtle neck he was wearing underneath a navy bomber jacket.
A familiar flutter in his stomach rose when Ricky licked his lips and ran a hand through his hair, eyes stuck on his lips as he took a long sip of sparkling water. The ambiance added to the seduction. Warm lights highlighted Ricky's dark curls and pink lips that his eyes were still hanging on to. He wanted to reach over and kiss him passionately but the menu in his hands brought an uneasy feeling to his stomach. But, as he looked into Ricky's brown eyes he tried to ignore it.
