"Are you sure about this?" Sebastian asked me, as I was sipping my tea.
We were in Coffeebean in Greenbelt 5; the place was packed with PLU's even though it was already close to 2am.
Most of them were staring at Sebastian and me. I couldn't blame them.
"Of course I'm not sure, Sebastian," I retorted, "Do you think I'm a 100% confident everything will go according to my plans? I'm not even sure I'll be placed in the same account as Peter. Perish forbid the thought that I be placed in a different center from him."
Sebastian put down his coffee, "That's not what I'm asking Bobby. I want to know, are you sure you want to go through with this? Are you ready for whatever repercussions this entails?"
I looked outside the window; it was raining hard.
The last time I talked to Peter, it was raining just like this, I thought to myself, That's when he told me about...
I looked Sebastian in the eye, "I've never been more sure of anything in my life."
Sebastian smiled, "Good. Shall we begin?"
He took out a laptop from his leather bag and opened it on the table.
"This is Peter's new boyfriend of 2 years," Sebastian said, showing me a Facebook profile of a handsome young man, about my age, tall, well-built, "His name is Adam."
I looked at Adam's picture. I couldn't talk.
"Are you okay?" asked Sebastian.
I wanted to say yes, I wanted to nod, but I was shocked.
"He... he looks..." was all I could say.
Sebastian nodded, "I know..."
He maximized the picture, making the obvious so much more... obvious.
"He looks just like you," Sebastian said.
Closer and closer, Peter, was all I could think.
