After the waitress walked away, Kai waited a few seconds and then became inpatient. He needed coffee. He wanted it in his stomach. He needed it to function. He needed it to live. His blood was more caffiene than red blood cells.
"What's the matter?" Liam asked, noticing the blonde tapping his fingers on the table.
"Nothing," Kai sighed, narrowing his eyes in the direction of the waitress, who quickly looked away, blushing.
"Don't lie. I can see it all over your face," Liam stated, leaning forward to get a better look at his face.
"I just need my coffee," Kai stated, a bit of a whiny tone in his voice, making it obvious how tired he was from staying up all night.
Liam leaned back in his seat. "I'm not sure how you drink so much coffee."
"Me either, honestly." Kai shrugged. "I need caffeine."
"Why don't you drink anything else?" Liam raised a brow. "Between Red Bull and coffee, I don't think I've ever seen you drink anything else at work."
"I drink wine and alcohol when I am at parties. I do enjoy a good beer every now and then, though," Kai remarked.
"What's your favorite alcoholic beverage?" Liam asked curiously.
"Well, it depends on my mood," Kai replied, furrowing his brows. "Sometimes I enjoy fruity drinks."
"Like Long Island Iced Tea?" Liam asked with a smirk.
"Sure," Kai responded with a smile. "Those taste great."
"That's a girl's drink," Liam snickered.
"What? No, it isn't," Kai scoffed.
"Yes, it is. Guys don't order fruity drinks," Liam laughed at the thought of the cute blonde going to a bar and ordering it. "Men like beer. Manly craft beer."
"Guys can order whatever the hell they want. Just because society tells you certain things are feminine doesn't mean they actually are. Men can order whatever the hell they want, and if people have a problem with that, they can suck my dick."
Liam blushed. Kai seemed really passionate about the subject. He thought it was adorable. "That's one way of putting it."
"I am right, and you know it," Kai stated, raising his chin. "I'm manly."
"Whatever you say," Liam agreed. "So manly."
"Here is your coffee," the waitress stated as she brought the coffee to the table. "Oh, and one hot chocolate."
"Finally," Kai said, taking the coffee cup and pouring some of the hot chocolate into the cup of coffee.
The waitress stood there for a minute. She was trying to think of a way to give Kai her number. She had no idea.
"Is that all you need, darling?" The waitress asked as she nervously looked at Kai.
"Yes," Kai answered. "Thank you."
"Are you sure?" she asked, a blush rising on her cheeks.
"Yeah," Kai replied, blowing on his coffee.
She stood there for a minute before Liam broke the silence. "Thank you. That is all."
"Of course." She looked at Kai one last time before walking away.
Liam rolled his eyes at the sight of the woman staring at Kai. There was no way the blonde nurse would be into women. By now, he was pretty sure he had a good chance.
Do you have plans yet for Halloween?" Liam asked.
"No, not yet," Kai replied. "Why?"
"Because there is a party I want you to go to," Liam told him. "That nurse, Kelly, is hosting. She invited all of us."
"I guess I could go," Kai said with a shrug. "I like Kelly. She's fun."
"Great!" Liam grinned. "You should come as a sexy nurse."
"Funny," Kai said as he sipped on the coffee.
"No, seriously. You would be a great sexy nurse," Liam hummed as he thought about Kai in a sexy nurse costume. "All of our coworkers would love it."
"I would be too tired," Kai groaned. "I'm always tired. I like to sleep."
"Come on. It will be fun," Liam persuaded him. "And I can't be the only gay man there."
"Why would you say that?" Kai raised a brow.
"Kelly invited me. She invited a bunch of single women," Liam began with a serious look. "She told me that. I have a feeling she is trying to hook me up with a woman."
"She would have no idea," Kai explained. "For all she knows, you could be married."
"That makes sense," Liam stated. "So you will dress as a sexy nurse?"
"I'm not dressing as a sexy nurse." Kai narrowed his eyes. "I'm already a nurse. I don't want to be a nurse. That's hardly a costume."
"We could be a sexy nurse and doctor pair. I will dress as a doctor, and you could dress as a sexy nurse," Liam suggested. "If you misbehave, I'll have to spank you. You know, as the doctor. I have to look out for the client's wellbeing."
"Nope," Kai said as he sipped on his coffee.
Liam pouted. "I'll have to find something else for you to dress up as. We can go shopping."
"I hate shopping," Kai groaned as he thought about what it would be like to go shopping with the dark-haired man.
"I have a friend who works at a costume shop. We could borrow something," Liam tilted his head, hoping that would be a good enough alternative.
"Okay," Kai agreed. "No sexy nurse costume."
"You would look so good as a sexy nurse," Liam smirked. "You're beautiful. Your body is thin and dainty."
"You are a creep," Kai remarked.
"I know," Liam shrugged. "So, why are you a nurse? How did you get into nursing?"
"I am a nurse because I like helping people and taking care of them," Kai answered. "I also have a medical background."
"What do you mean?" Liam asked, tilting his head.
"I am a nurse by profession, but I'm a licensed massage therapist, too," Kai responded as he sucked down the rest of the coffee.
"I would have never guessed," Liam admitted.
Liam sat there for a moment and imagined Kai's dainty hands on his naked back, working intensely to work out all the knots in his back and shoulders.
"Yeah. I'm actually really good," Kai stated. "My hands are very gifted."
"That's interesting. You'll have to show me sometime," Liam grinned. "Especially if you could give me a happy ending."
"That would cost extra," Kai sighed. "A hell of a lot extra."
"You wouldn't even have to charge me," Liam laughed. "It could be a favor for your favorite nursing assistant. For working so hard."
"I have an idea. How about, instead of a happy ending, you shut the hell up?" Kai suggested, giving him a death glare.
"Sorry, I had to say it," Liam grinned, putting his hands up in the air.
"I would tell you to suck my dick again, but it would be a waste of breath. You would enjoy that," Kai stated dryly.
"You're not wrong," Liam laughed. "If you asked, I'd crawl under the table in an instant."
"You're gay," Kai scoffed.
"Sure am," Liam laughed.
"Hey, here is the food," the waitress stated, interrupting conversation.
"Finally," Kai said as she brought the food to the table. "Thanks."
Kai looked down at the enormous amount of food he had ordered. He had almost forgotten he had ordered so much. It sounded like less when he was telling her his order. He was not confident he could finish it all anymore.
He poured a large amount of maple syrup over the pancakes. He watched as the whipped cream started to slide down the stack. It was starting to look gross. He shrugged and took a huge bite.
The pancakes tasted like heaven on Earth. He closed his eyes and softly moaned.
"Good?" Liam asked with a slight blush on his face. The sound of Kai's moan had caused his body to react.
"Yeah," Kai replied.
Liam watched Kai as he ate. His table manners were impeccable and impressive. He ate like a model or a member of a royal family. He was eating such a huge meal, but his table manners were the best Liam had ever seen.
"Do you always eat so...proper?" Liam asked curiously as he popped a whole piece of bacon in his mouth like a savage.
"Yeah," Kai answered, a blush spreading across his cheeks.
"That's cute," Liam grinned. "You're so cute."
"Thanks," Kai mumbled as he took another bite of his pancakes.
Kai normally hated being called cute, but he was getting used to Liam saying it.
Liam couldn't help but admire the small man. He was so adorable. He could tell the blonde had no idea how attractive he was. He was probably the most dainty, beautiful man he had ever met. His heart started racing as he looked at him. He thought about how he was way prettier than any woman.
"You're cute," Liam told him, making Kai blush.
"You're not bad yourself," Kai stated as he ate his meal.
"Not bad?" Liam questioned, pretending to be deeply hurt by the comment.
"Okay, you're hot," Kai told him matter-of-factly.
"I know," Liam stated.
Kai rolled his eyes and went back to his food.
"What is hot about me?" Liam asked as he started at the blonde's face.
Kai wondered if Liam was trying to make him uncomfortable. He shifted in his seat and sighed. A deeper blush was rising in his cheeks.
"You're really tall," Kai began. "You have nice eyes. You have a lot of muscle. You probably have a really toned chest."
"Oh, yeah?" Liam smirked. "Do you want to see it? Touch it?"
Kai's eyes widened, and he dropped his fork. He was clearly embarrassed by the question.
"You do," Liam snickered.
"I didn't say a damn word," Kai stated nervously.
"Your face said enough, pumpkin," Liam purred in his direction.
The two finished their breakfast in silence. Kai was surprised Liam was able to keep quiet. Perhaps the conversation had diverted too much, even for him. The blonde wasn't sure, but for some reason, his heart was nearly beating out of his chest as they ate.
He couldn't wait to get home and get away from Liam. The man was becoming too much for him.
