I hardly slept a wink. I carried so much energy throughout
the night. At 7 in the morning, I decided to get up and do something with the
energy. I cleaned up the house, re-organized the kitchen cabinets, irons all
the clothes in our closet, wash dirty laundry, I even washed the cars by hand.
Around 10am, I had begun cooking breakfast, hoping the smell would wake up
Cameron. On cue, he walked downstairs in his pajama bottoms only. Cloud ran
down behind him. While the bacon was cooking, I ran over to open a can of cat
food for Cloud. She screamed out a meow, thanking me.
“Morning baby.” He said yawning
“Morning.” I said leaning out my cheek allowing him to kiss
me
He stood behind me while I stood at the stove and wrapped
his arms around my waist, resting his head on my shoulder.
“Did you reorganize the kitchen?” he asked
“Yeah. I couldn’t sleep, so I did stuff to keep me busy this
morning.” I said, listing the chores I did before he woke up
After we
ate breakfast we got ready. We had plans to hang out with our friends in the
afternoon. Before meeting them, Cameron and I ran some errands and hit up the
stores. I bought a father’s day gift for my dad. Although, we weren’t speaking,
it didn’t mean I didn’t love him. I would usually send a father’s day gift,
birthday or Christmas gift to my dad via Mom. She would always thank me on his
behalf. This year I bought him a new grill. The one he had was old and falling
apart. The last time I spoke with my mother, she had mentioned that they were
considering new careers. It was shocking since they loved teaching so much.
“What did you Mom say they were looking into doing?” Natalie
asked while we joined our friends at the beach
“Opening a restaurant.” I laughed
“Don’t laugh. That’s a good business. Besides, your parents
are amazing cooks.” Cameron said
“True. I mean, they’ve even gone as far as applying for a
loan.” I said
“Wow! They’re really going for it.” Phillip said
“Yeah. They plan to open a place along the boardwalk if they
get approved.”
“New building?” Larissa asked
“No, they’re aiming for that vacant place next to the sushi
restaurant.”
“That’s a good size.” Cameron said
Our conversation was interrupted by a familiar voice behind
us, “Hey guys!”
“You invited Teddy?” I asked Cameron
“Yeah, why?” He asked
“Just thought, it was going to be us?” I covered my question
Larissa looked at me with curious eyes. I widened mine as a
silent “What?!” She simply shrugged. Cameron stood up and hugged his friend as
she squatted down, sitting between Phillip and me. Cameron sat back down on the
other side of me. Natalie had brought a bag full of snacks which we were
rummaging through. After a few moments of talking, Cameron suggested we go into
the water. Natalie and Phillip happily obliged to join him.
“I’m going to get a little bit of sun.” I said taking off my
shirt
“Nice tattoo.” Teddy said placing the tips of his fingers on
my back to touch it
“Thanks.” I said shift forward a bit
“I’m probably going to lay out for a bit too.” Teddy said
taking off his shirt next
“Larissa?” Cameron asked
“Okay, okay.” She said getting up taking off her top to
reveal her skimpy two piece
“Larissa…I thought you were going to lay out with me?” I
begged her
“I will. I’ll be back in ten minutes.” She said smiling
Well…here I was…with Teddy. Alone again.
“So how did it go?” Teddy asked
“What?” I asked
“The X.”
“It actually felt amazing…the sex felt twice as…”
“Okay. Never mind. Forget I asked.” He said plugging his
ears with his fingers
“Well, you asked.” I said
“Yeah. But I didn’t want to hear about you enjoying sex with
Cameron.” He said frustrated
“So what? He’s my boyfriend.” I said clueless to his reason
for frustration
Oh shit. He liked me. I thought the kiss at the club was
just a combined side effect of the ecstasy and alcohol.
“I’m sorry.” I said
He just nodded in response looking down at his hands.
“I love Cameron.” I said honestly
“That’s good.” He said flatly, “He’s very lucky.”
I smiled. He caught a glimpse of me and gave me a small
smile in return.
“Can I ask you something?” I began
“Sure. Anything.”
“That pill. Are those hard to get a hold of?”
“Ecstasy? No…they’re common in club scenes.” He admitted
“Hm. Have you been offered any?” I asked
“Yeah. I was given some last night.” He smiled
“Not from me.” I said
“No…I don’t mean you. Even after…someone gave me a couple.”
He clarified
“Oh. Do you have any with you?”
“No. Not on me. Are you looking for yourself?” he asked
I didn’t respond as I looked out to the waterline watching
Cameron and my friends jumping around in the water.
“Hey. I don’t judge.” He said quietly
“Sorry. I just feel guilty.” I said
“Don’t. You’re human. Besides, it’s not that bad of a drug.
It makes you feel amazing and free.” He said
“It does…it really does.”
“Here.” He said pulling out his cell phone from his pocket,
“Let me see your phone.”
I handed him my phone as he copied something from his phone
to mine. He handed it back to me showing me the new contact. Mike 555-212-5500.
“Give him a call. He has some amazing stuff.” Teddy said
“Thanks.” I smiled
“Oh…and…I also saved my number in there.” He blushed
“You did?”
“I mean…just in case you ever wanted to hang
out…or…whatever.” He said not making eye contact
“Thanks.” I giggled
We all
spent the rest of the day lounging around on the beach until the sun began to
set. We all said our goodbyes and headed home. When we got into our apartment,
Cloud was thrilled to see us, purring and rubbing against our legs. Cameron was
about to head upstairs to jump in the shower.
“Hey, babe.” I called out to him
“Yeah?” he answered back
“I’m going to go for a run before I shower.” I said
“Okay.” He said a little hesitant
“Love you.” I said before walking out the door
“Love you too.”
I walked back outside and began to walk north towards Boiler
Bay and Lincoln Beach, the small city where Nick used to live with his brother,
Brad. After about twenty minutes of running, I stopped along the road and
pulled out my phone to check the time. It was 7:04pm. I scrolled through my
contacts and stopped on Teddy’s name. I could feel the thump of my heart
beating in my chest. I continued to scroll and stopped on Mike’s name. I hit
the call button.
“Hello?” he
answered
“Hi. Mike?” I questioned
“Yeah. Who is this?”
he asked
“My name is Joey. I got your number from Teddy.”
“Oh. Yeah. He text me
that he gave you my digits.”
“I hope that was okay?” I asked concerned
“Um. Sure. I guess.”
He said unimpressed
“He told me that you had some good…”
“I don’t talk business
over the phone.” Mike cut me off
“Oh. Sorry.” I said in a panic
“Come over to my
place. I’ll text you the address.” He said before hanging up
I looked down at my phone waiting for his text. I received
his address. He lived near Whale Cove. This was the beach that we always hung
out at, the beach Cherry Blossom Cliff looked over and just down the street
from Cameron’s mother’s home. I had to back track. I began to jog back down
towards town, cutting through neighborhoods. About an hour into my jog, I
arrived at the address Mike sent me. I took a minute to catch my breath before
knocking on the door. He had a very nice house, it’s any wonder. He opened the
door, looked at me up and down.
“Joey?” he asked
“Mike?”
“Get in.” he said opening the door more so I can walk in
I walked in, still a little short of breath.
“Need water?” he asked
“No. I’m good.” I said
“Have a seat.” He said
“Oh…I’m okay. I won’t take up too much of your time.”
The guy who looked about 25 stared at me. He was Caucasian,
slim, not muscular but still had a slight tone. He was about six foot, brown
hair spiked up in a messy look; he had blue eyes and a nice tan. He was wearing
jeans and a black tank top on.
“take a load off, man. No rush.” He insisted
I sat down on his couch and began to assess his home.
“You have a nice place.” I said
“Thanks.”
“You live alone?” I asked
“Yeah.” He said
“Impressive.” I said in a low voice only I could hear
He sat down on the couch across from me.
“So what did you need?” he asked
“Need?”
“What’s your fix?” he clarified
“Oh. Um. X?” I asked
“All out.” He said sharply
“Fuck.” I said flustered
“Got something ten times better though.” He said getting up
He walked over to what looked like a small tool box. He
pulled something out and sat back down on the couch. He tossed the item on the
coffee table in between us and hunched over his knees resting his elbows on
them. I looked at the small tube filled with white substance.
“Is that…”
“Cocaine.” He finished for me
“I’ve never used that before. I’m not sure that’s a good
idea.”
“Okay.” He said picking it back up and leaning back
“Wait. How much is it?” I asked
“$250” he said
“Two-hundred and fifty dollars? American dollars?” I asked
“No, monopoly money. Yes American!” he snapped
“I don’t have that kind of money on me right now.” I
admitted
“Okay.” He said hunched over thinking again, “how about
this. I’ll give you a taste of it…if you come and taste my dick.”
“What?!” I asked in shock
“Blow for a blow.” He said
I sat in silence. Not sure what the fastest route out of his
house would be? Run to the door, or crash through the wall?
“I’m fucking with you.” He laughed
“Really?” I asked
“Yeah. Come on man. I’m straight.” He said
“Oh, shit man.”
“You should have seen your face.” He laughed, “Listen, since
this is your first time, I’ll let you try some of this one I have here. It’s my
own personal stash.” He said pulling out a small container with powder in it.
“No charge?” I asked
“No charge, no blowjob. Just two dudes, having a good time.”
He said
“Sure.” I said
“Here you go.” He said handing me the container
“Oh…um…can you go first?” I asked
“Yeah man. See what you do is pour a little out on a flat
surface, usually glass or a mirror is easier to pile it together, use something
with a flat edge to make it into a line, then u used a rolled up bill or straw
to snort it.” He said as he inhaled his line
He handed me the container and guided me through the steps.
I leaned over and placed the rolled up dollar bill to my nose. I looked up at
him. He nodded. I hovered over the powdery line and inhaled deeply. I jumped
back dropping the dollar bill. It was a weird sensation. I rubbed my nose not
sure if I even did it right.
“That’s good. Just sit back and give it a couple of
minutes.” He said leaning back against the couch
I did as he did. I closed my eyes. Within a few minutes, I
felt like the room was spinning. I could hear bells chiming in my ears. The
ocean sounded like it was in the room with us. I began to feel hot. I took off
my shirt and threw it on the ground.
“No stripping.” Mike laughed, “Holy shit dude…you have a
twenty-six pack.” He pointed at me laughing uncontrollably
“What? No I don’t…More like a thirty pack!” I laughed with
him.
He took off his shirt and showed off his flat stomach.
“What? Dude, I didn’t realize they made three packs!” I
joked
“Fuck you.” He laughed falling on the floor
“This shit is fucking amazing.” I said crawling on the floor
and spreading out pretending to make snow angels
“I know right.” Mike said crawling next to me, “Hey.” He
said looking at me
“Huh?” I asked
“Wanna blow me now?” he asked laughing
“Dude.” I laughed
“Come on…” he begged
“You said you were straight.” I grinned
“So…a blowie is a blowie.” He said confidently
I sat up and leaned over him as he laid against the side of
his couch. I unzipped his pants, pulling down both is jeans and underwear. His
penis was growing to a full erection. As I lowered my head, I locked eyes on
his and opened my mouth and wrapped my lips around his…
