I'm sorry...after reading some of the reviews for this chapter, I have to respond. There is no defense for Michael after his appalling behavior in the park. Asher had every right to be angry and to act on his hurt feelings and go with whatever happened. I don't consider Tyler a rebound fling...Asher and Michael are NOT in a relationship. There is nothing to rebound from.
I would have done the same thing that Asher did. He was out to have a good time, albeit for maybe the wrong reasons, but he and Tyler seemed to hit it off well enough that Tyler was in his bed. If I'm out on a date, I don't accept phone calls on my cell nor do I answer text messages. That's rude and inconsiderate to your date and shows a lack of respect. He could have excused himself, gone to the bathroom and texted Michael back and told him they would talk in a few days.
