Keys to His Heart

By J.D. Walker

Grady Tremone, keyboard player and backup singer for Hail The Dead Marys, feels like something is missing in his life. While trying to figure out what that could be, his mom asks for help with an upcoming show. Grady agrees, and on the day of rehearsal, he comes face to face with the man for whom he's in instant lust.

Tim Hugo, the show’s choreographer, likes to flirt but wants more than a casual fling. Grady pushes the issue, and Tim shoots him down, cold. However, after sending white roses every day for a week as an apology, Grady convinces Tim to give them another go -- at Tim’s pace, this time.

It takes a month, but when the men finally become intimate, Grady is convinced he’ll eventually walk down the aisle with Tim, the man who has the keys to his heart.

The applause was deafening. I bowed, along with the rest of band, acknowledging the accolades after our third encore. Joey Seever, lead guitarist for Hail The Dead Marys, tossed guitar picks into the audience.

I loved performing, and our band kicked some serious butt. We were all dedicated musicians, extremely talented, and great at what we did.

I worked alongside the other band members to clear the stage and carried my equipment out to the trunk of my car when we were done.

See you at practice next Monday night, Grady, Joey called as he walked by, his husband Jared hugged close to his side.

A little jealousy at their happiness sparked in my heart, but I tamped it down. It wasn’t their fault that I had no one in my life right now. It would happen when the time was right. I just needed to work on my patience.

Yup. Night, guys. I got into the car and turned on the engine. The weather was starting to warm up, finally. Spring was almost a month old, and I was thankful. Cold temperatures were not my favorite thing.

After forcing myself out of bed, I made my way to the bathroom and removed my funky-smelling T-shirt and jeans. Once I got rid of the underwear, I stepped into the shower
