Your dad’s best friend has always been in your life, he was practically like an Uncle. So when had things changed for you, to now look at him and blush. To flirt offhandedly and unashamedly, you knew it was unreciprocated- that he’d laugh it off and ignore it. You were young, what did it matter?

Until you notice, and maybe you’re going crazy here, that he might be flirting back…

“Is that right?” He drawls, eyes taking up your form as you’d made some outlandish comment.
