No Rulebook for Flirting

By Laura Bailo

When Gabriel goes to the annual gaming convention, planning to play as many games as he can during the next three days, he doesn’t expect to be glared to death in the parking lot by a really cute guy. So when the same guy joins the game Gabriel is playing, Gabriel is determined to make him smile, even if it takes some awkward flirting.

When Aitor makes it inside the convention center after someone steals his parking spot, he doesn’t expect to be so attracted to the man he decided to hate just a few minutes earlier. But as he gets to know Gabriel through gaming and flirting, he just can’t look away.

The game of flirting has no rulebook, but for Gabriel and Aitor, it may just have two winners after all.

Chapter 1

Gabriel

Gabriel swore and cursed his coworkers.

He’d wanted to be here earlier, but the meeting had run late and now he couldn’t find a single parking spot anywhere. He knew this would happen. The convention always attracted a lot of people, which was why he’d wanted to be here early enough to park his car without problems.

On his second lap around the lot, he saw a car reversing into the lane. He snagged the space, thinking about his good luck, when an angry honk—he had no idea a car could sound angry—came from behind him.

I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a name written on the tarmac. Gabriel shrugged, a sadistic part of him enjoying how the guy’s face got redder in anger while another part of him—the more human one—sympathized.

I was waiting here, I even had my blinker on.

Gabriel had been so focused on parking in the free space, he hadn’t noticed. I’m sorry, I didn’t see you.

"I don’t want you to apologize. I want you to remove your car so I can park in my spot." He’d said the last part through clenched teeth, clearly furious.

Gabriel let out a short laugh. I’m sorry, but not a chance of that happening, mate. You go make a round and find another spot. He felt a bit sorry for the guy, but there was no way he was going to look for another spot.

He did his best to ignore the angry sputtering while making his way inside the building, amused by the whole
