Before Lovers

Have you ever seen someone and had the strangest feeling you've met before? When Paul notices a handsome man watching him on the bus, he's a little annoyed. When it happens again the following evening, he begins to worry. On the third day, the mystery man, Calvin Dickson, taps Paul on the shoulder and introduces himself. Paul can't help but be wary. Calvin gives Paul his card and suggests they meet for a drink. When Paul reads the card and notices Calvin is a chartered accountant, he decides the man can't be too crazy and decides to accept the offered drink. There's an immediate connection between the two men, but there's more than that. Strange things happen to Paul whenever he becomes intimate with Calvin, which leads Paul to consult a psychic. What he discovers will change the way he thinks about life -- and Calvin -- forever more.

Chapter 12

Dinner was a variation on chicken Caesar salad, plus some shoestring fries and wine. After dinner, Calvin led Paul into the bedroom, which he’d decorated with red rose petals. They were everywhere. All over the carpet, the bed, the pillows. And there was a single red rose on one of the pillows. Paul had never had anything as romantic done for him and it brought a tear to his eye that Calvin should think so much of him to go to such effort.

“You like?” asked Calvin.

Paul nodded. “I do.”

Calvin kissed him on the lips.

He felt a small ripple of electricity wash through his body.

“Hang on,” said Calvin. He took a lighter out of his pocket and lit the candles he’d placed on each of the bedside tables. “There you go. Now it’s perfect.”

“It really is,” said Paul. “It really is.”
