“Let’s do this!” Liam shouted.
It took another twenty minutes but once Liam had declared the playroom perfect, they separated to get changed into more little clothes for the real fun.
Nicky skipped down the hall to the guest room where he’d left his bag.
Liam was so excited as he grabbed the shorts and T-shirt that he’d laid out on the changing table. He eyed the stack of diapers on the shelf above but decided against putting one on.Maybe soon, but he wasn’t quite ready to admit defeat and start diapering himself.
There had to be the perfect Daddy out there for him. Liam just needed to find him. He couldn’t help but wish that Jude was interested in more than friendship. Jude had every Daddy tendency that Liam wrote about. He was the perfect natural Daddy.
Pushing down his shorts, Liam knew that he needed to stop his wishful thinking. Even though he’d had a wonderful afternoon with Jude, it hadn’t lasted.
Earlier when Liam had been enjoying his first cup of coffee, he had offered his daily greeting and had received a low grunt with Jude basically ignoring him. At this point he was getting whiplashed with Jude’s mood changes.
He wasn’t going to worry about it now though. Liam had a little weekend with his best friend and they both needed this time. Neither of them had a Daddy but they’d learned a long time ago how to mesh their little sides for playdates.
Liam hurried to finish dressing then raced down the hall.
Nicky already had the extra blankets and pillows pulled out to make their fort. His onesie was just as cute as Liam had imagined. Liam was totally buying himself one for the next time. He’d surprise Nicky on their next playdate.
“I ordered the pizza before I changed,” Nicky told him. “Should be here any minute.”
“Cool, I’m starving.” Finishing the playroom had taken more energy than Liam had thought. He was glad to have his new room finished and couldn’t wait to spend more time in it. In hisprevious apartment, Liam hadn’t had a dedicated space for his little stuff. Now he had a whole room and could totally little out! Life goal achieved!
Taking the other side of the blanket, Liam helped Nicky with the first layer of their fort. It took twenty minutes before the fort was perfect, they had their drinks, and the laptop set up inside the blankets.
The doorbell rang.
“I’ll get it!” Liam called since Nicky was already inside the fort with Hades in his lap. Of course, Hades loved Nicky. Everyone always did, even Liam’s evil cat. He raced for the door and yanked it open.
Flabbergasted, Liam stared at his visitor.
“Your pizza was delivered to my house,” Jude told him.
Liam blinked. Jude was there. Jude was there!
He slammed the door.
Shit! Shitty shit shit! Jude had seen him in his little outfit. There was no way to hide the fact that his clothing was not made for a grown man.
There was a knock on the door. “Liam?” Jude called.
“What’s going on?” Nicky shouted. “Is the order wrong?”
Oh no! Liam did not need Nicky to add to this disaster. Nicky would be even more obvious in his onesie.
“It’s fine!” Liam shouted.
Jude knocked again. “Liam, answer the door!”
Liam cracked the door. “Can you just leave it on the mat?” he asked hopefully.
Instead of answering, Jude lifted a brow at him.
“Please?” Liam tried.
“Your pizza is getting cold,” Jude told him.
He was going to have to open the door. This was so unfair. Liam remained mostly hidden by the door as he stuck out his hand.
