Tammy tried to talk me out of it. I told her I knew what I was doing. I wasn’t expecting anything other than nightmares for a week. Watching a movie based on the true story of a psycho who kidnapped three hitchhikers was sure to affect me. I’d only managed to watch an hour of the movie before I’d given up last time.

“Why are you doing this to yourself, Ed?” Tammy asked sadly.

I gave her the truth. “Because being just friends with Callum makes me happier than being on a date with any of the other guys I’ve tried in the last six months.” She gave me a forlorn smile and I chuckled. “Besides, I’ve run out of willing victims to watch movies with me. Most of my other friends just want to watch a movie and enjoy it. You’re the only one who seems to be able to tune me out when I start analysing it. Callum actually debates stuff with me, so it’s fun.”

Knowing that he’d have nothing for me to drink—and hoping the alcohol would help with getting through the movie—I bought myself a bottle. Callum didn’t live too far from a Chinese restaurant that did takeaway, and he said we could walk down and grab some food. I’d also picked up some snacks to munch—a great distraction technique when a movie was a little intense—and if I cleaned and trimmed “down there” before I went, it was nobody’s business but mine.

The minute Callum opened the door with a grin on his face, I knew I was destined to be dateless for years. Now that he’d mentioned it, I could feel the happiness spreading through my body. I was aware of him with every part of me. My lips were stretched wide in a grin, my heart beating a little faster, my brain scrambling with all the things I wanted to say to him, my nose filled with the scent of whatever cologne he’d put on, my fingertips tingling with wanting to make physical contact, my legs slightly weak. It was a high, and Callum was the drug.

He invited me in and we spent an hour chatting about nothing. His work, my work, his week, my week. It was catching up on the news while we got settled to watch the movie, of which he’d specially gone out and bought the DVD. We chose a number of dishes from the Chinese restaurant menu, and Callum phoned and placed the order. I asked about the boys and he told me about the losing basketball game from Wednesday night. Apparently they were missing Brendan’s skill on the court. Callum asked about Tammy and the bee sting, and I updated him as we strolled down to the shopping centre to pick up our meal.

Back at his house we settled down to watch the movie. “Have you seen this?” I asked, as he hadn’t actually said he hadn’t.

“Nope. You can tell me about all the fun stuff as we go.”

I gulped. “I didn’t watch the end.
