I think Ennis would like to go swimming with Ellery, but not with Wayne  :)

"Now that I don’t think is such a great idea, Wayne,” Ennis said.

“How come, you don’t want me ta see yer man in a skimpy little swimsuit, lookin at his ass an all?”

“Exactly,” Ennis said,




I was kidding with the Wayne part.  ;D But Wyane explained Ellery is not his type but Ennis himself.

You think Ennis would ever admit that Wayne looking at HIS ass would make him nervous?  How many sequels would I have to write before Ennis got used to a femme boy flirting with him?

Not enough!

see... now I feel so terribly terribly guilty.... if I only had a few weeks off for vacation I could write a whole bunch and then just hand them out one by one like feeding pigeons...!

that is the only real problem with being self employed.  No paid vacations.

meh.

However, in 15 minutes I am off for the weekend and will certainly try to make the most of it!!!

No, he would never admit it. Not on this lifetime anyway. But, would that stop him from going to the pool? They could go at different hours and not run into Wayne, but it'll be funny as hell if they do run into him.

I'm impressed that he admitted working at the bar is good for him!

I have to say that despite how incredibly sexy it is to think of Ellery in his cutoffs... every once in a while I can't help but think of Tobias J. Funke the "never-nude" from Arrested Development (pics below)

or Lt. Jim Dangle of the Reno, Nevada sheriff's department...(he wears cutoffs when off duty... but i couldn't find a pic)



 ;D I hope I didn't ruin anyone's image of Ellery, I just had to share that....
