Chapter 3: The Plan
Mateo tossed and turned restlessly throughout the night, unable to shake the lingering sensation of anticipation filling the air. Every time he closed his eyes, images of Garrett flashed before him. He pondered the notion of approaching Garrett again regarding the matter that had haunted him since the beginning of their conversation. The question echoed in his head relentlessly. Was it mere coincidence, or did Garrett purposely choose to wear those undershorts specifically for Mateo?
Was he sending signals that went far beyond simple attraction? Despite his mounting desire to ask questions, Mateo remained steadfast in his decision to play it cool, for fear of embarrassment. Instead, he redirected his energies towards unpacking the last of his items, focusing intently on the task at hand.
Inside his small closet, Mateo slid his clothing rack along the wall until it reached the perfect spot, creating a balance of style and function.
