I love going back and exploring Andrej's relationship with Zayne before they had an actual relationship. It's fun, right?
Well, this morning I was dragging. I've been having a rough few weeks and thought I needed a change of pace. SO I popped on Pandora in the car instead of hitting one of my usual Spotify playlists. Apparently, the last thing I'd listened to was an 80's country station. Hmm. I heard a lot of what I expected - Barbara Mandrell, George Strait, Ronnie Milsasp... but it also threw something at me that I wasn't expecting and that was Shelley West.
And my favorite song of hers fits Zayne to a 't'.
And not only does it fit Zayne, it is very applicable to Andy as well, especially if Zayne plied him with a little too much tequila.
This is what gave me the idea:
Now wait a minute
Things don't look too familiar
Who is the cowboy who's sleeping beside me
Well he's awful cute
But how'd I get his shirt on
I had too much tequila last night
Um, poor Andy? Or will it be poor Zayne? Or just poor Amy because she has crap taste in music? Hahaha.
(LMAO @ Pandora's song selections this morning...)

He opened his eyes and looked at his bed partner.
Seeing that it was Zayne laying half-dressed beside him, had him muttering impercations at himself in his native tongue and fleeing into his bathroom.
Zayne heard the muttering and opened his eyes in time to see Andy flee into the bathroom wearing the flannel shirt he had worn to work the day before.
"Oh shit!!" he breathed. "I really screwed the pooch this time."

Shutting the door behind him, Andrej leaned heavily on the sink. Afraid to meet his own eyes, terrified of what he might find in his own expression, he stared at his hands. Hands that were trembling even though they were flat on the tile.
He lifted his hands to his face and rubbed at his crusty eyes. Forcing himself to focus, he tried to figure out how they’d wound up here, in his home. Gah, in his bed.
“Nu, nu, nu,” he muttered.
Andrej glanced at the closed door and could hear the smooth sounds of Zayne’s voice floating towards him. He smiled when he realized that his partner’s accent was more pronounced early in the morning.
“What went wrong,” he muttered.
They’d left the station, elated at having managed a confession out of their suspect. Zayne had wanted to celebrate because, of course he did. Andrej had offered up take out and Zayne had offered up drinks. Separating in the parking lot, they’d agreed to meet here, at Andrej’s home.
Sighing, Andrej made a face. He’d returned home only moments before Zayne had, take out Thai in hand. Zayne had a six pack in one hand, a brown paper bag in the other.
“Oh no,” he groaned.
Tequila.

Zayne sat up and dropped his aching head into his hands quietly cursing himself in Spanish.
He was in a world of trouble and didn't know how he was going to get out of it without hurting Zek's feelings and ruining their working relationship.

They hadn’t had that much to drink. Well, he hadn’t, but Zek? Sometimes he wondered if that boy ever had any fun. He lifted his throbbing head and glanced towards the bathroom.
“Zek,” he called out as loud as he dared. “You okay in there?”
There was a muffled response that sounded like it was in the affirmative, so he flopped back onto the bed and pulled the covers over his head.
Mistake.
All he could smell was Zeklos’ clean, inviting scent. God, how the hell had they ended up here? And, more to the point, what the hell had happened between them?

Okay, I’ll stop taunting you now. 😊

Date: 2018-08-03 12:34 pm (UTC)"Yes, Zayne, I'm okay," he answered, the lie falling easily from his lips.
He doubted that he ever would be okay again. He had slipped up and slept with his partner. Although he could tell that they hadn't been intimate despite the hickey peeking above the collar of Zayne's shirt.

Date: 2018-08-03 01:08 pm (UTC)That, however, was not a good idea. Not a good idea at all.
"Are you going to stay in there all day," Zayne called from the other side of the door. He sounded closer, which also was not a good thing. "I'm getting hungry, Zek. Honestly, I'm starving."
Me, too, Andy thought, chiding himself immediately for having such thoughts at a time like this.
