TRUE LOVE 3 [Chapter 8: Brand New]

The following weeks were amazing. I was happy again. My sessions with Doctor Nolan were helping me re-discover myself. My relationship with Cameron, my friends and my family was so much stronger. My parents got the keys to their building a few days after my first therapy session. With the help of Cameron, Natalie, Phillip, Larissa, Teddy and even Diane, we renovated the entire building. Just two days ago, the new sign was installed reading, “Ramirez & Sons – Homestyle Café”. The grand opening was in just three days. My mother was going to be the Chef and co-manager, my father the SueChef and manager. They appointed me lead server and hired eight staff including Larissa. Cameron was offered a position, but he was happy where he was employed. My father told him that if he ever wanted to just come in and work, he was more than welcome to.

            It was 7pm on a Friday night. I was waiting at the foot of the stairs for Cameron to come out of the shower.

“Babe?” he called out

“Downstairs.” I yelled up

“Hey…what’s up with this suit?” he said walking out to the landing in his towel holding up the suit on a hanger

He then caught a glimpse of me. I was wearing a matching suit. In my hand was a single red rose.

“What’s going on?” he smiled

“I want you to get ready. Come downstairs. I have a surprise for you.” I said

He giggled and ran back to the room. He was ready within twenty minutes. He walked down the stairs and met me at the bottom. I handed him the rose and gently kissed him on the lips.

“You look so handsome.” I said

“So do you. What is going on?” he urged me

“You’ll see. I have to put this on you.” I said placing a blindfold over his face and rested it on top of his head

“Babe…is this some kinky shit?” he laughed

“Not yet.” I whispered

We walked outside where a black limo was waiting for us.

“A limo?” he asked

“Get in. And put on your blindfold.” I said

We both got in and he pulled down his blindfold.

“You’re making me nervous.” He said

“Good. I want you to feel the way you made me feel when we first met.” I said

Within a few minutes, we arrived at our destination. I got out first and helped Cameron out. I tipped the driver and guided Cameron to the surprise. As soon as we got into position, I stood behind Cameron as he held onto his rose and untied the blindfold. As it dropped, I walked to his side to see the utter shock on his face. We stood in the middle of our high school gymnasium. It was decorated to resemble our high school prom. The lights were off with the exception of the disco ball and dance lights. A DJ was set up at the end of the gymnasium. Principle Hawkins stood close by as she walked up to us.

“Joey and Cameron. I hope you two enjoy your evening.” She smiled and hugged us both

“Thank you for all your help Principle Hawkins.” I told her

“Of course.” She said as she walked out of the gym closing the doors leaving us alone with just the DJ.

I pointed to the DJ and he began playing Beyoncé – XO.

Cameron smiled at me. I took his arm placing it around my waist and held him tight as we began to sway to the music. I felt Cameron shaking in my arms. I pulled back to see him crying.

“What’s wrong?” I asked

“I’m just surprised you did this for me?” he said

“I’d do anything for you. This is my small way of showing how much you mean to me.” I said smiling and wiping his tears

We leaned our foreheads against one another continuing to dance. We began to word the lyrics to the song. In the darkest night hour, Search through the crowd, Your face is all that I see, I'll give you everything, Baby love me lights out, Baby love me lights out, You can turn my lights out.  I love it like XO, You love me like XO, You kill me boy XO, You love me like XO, All that I see, Give me everything, Baby love me lights out, Baby love me lights out, You can turn my lights out.

The song was followed my Fireworks, by Katy Perry. We enjoyed our “prom reboot”. It gave us the spark to put us both in the right path again. A path to true happiness. I had only requested the gym for two hours, which was plenty of time for us to dance and reconnect. But the surprise wasn’t over. We walked to the parking lot of the school where I had left my car. We got in and I drove us downtown to the Hilton. Once we arrived, I got out and walked around to open the door for Cameron. We stepped into the lobby and to the front desk together.

“Checking in, Joey Ramirez.” I said

“Yes sir. I see your reservation here. You will be on the seventh floor in suite 708.” She handed me the keys

“Perfect.” I smiled

We walked to the elevator and hit the top floor button.

“How did you get the exact same room?” Cameron asked

I simply smiled and grabbed his hand. We exited the elevator and walked towards our room. We entered and without saying a word, Cameron pinned me against the wall as the door closed. He kissed me with such passion. He began to unbutton my vest and shirt. I did the same in anticipation. We stumbled as we pulled off our shoes trying to kiss. We finally got our shirts off and shuffled to the bed where Cameron pushed me down. He unzipped his pants and pulled them down. His hard penis flopped up against his stomach before bouncing straight out. He then leaned over to rip off my pants. He was about to go down on me, when I stopped him.

“What’s wrong?” he asked

“No.” I said

“No?” he asked

“Last time, you took the lead…this time…I get to drive.” I smiled

He smiled as I pulled him onto the bed and kissed him. I ran my tongue from his chin, down his neck and circled his nipples. I sucked on each one before I trailed his abs to his pelvic bone. I ran my tongue around the base of his penis and licked his scrotum. He took a breath through his teeth in pleasure. I then licked the shaft to the perfect head of his penis and gently placed my wet lips around it. I ran my hands up his thighs to his stomach and finally rested them on his chest. I clenched his pecks as I began to suck on his girth. He shivered with enjoyment. I ran my hands from his chest down to his sides and finally around his back to his ass. I gently lifted his ass, forcing him to arch his back as his penis drilled further down my throat. He groaned.

“Fuck, babe.” He muttered

After attempting to swallow his penis, I turned him over and began to eat him out. My tongue tickled the outer area of his anus. His beautiful firm and plump ass was perfect. I loved it. Cameron was very clean and neat about body hair, although he had very little of it, he made sure his entire body was smooth where it counted. I ran the tip of my tongue up and down his smooth crack. I placed my lips around his anus and created suction. He yelped in pleasure. I then forced my tongue into him.

“Ahhh.” He moaned into the bed

He placed his hand behind my head pushing my face and tongue along with it, deeper into his ass. After getting him moist enough, I stood up and placed the tip of my penis against his ass.

“I want you inside me baby.” Cameron said breathlessly

I pulled Cameron towards the edge of the bed as I stood up. I placed his legs straight up, with his ankles against my shoulders. I slowly began to penetrate him. I looked down watching the head of my penis disappear into his perfect body. Once the head entered, the rest of my shaft followed. He took every inch of it like a champ. His smooth balls began to bounce as I thrusted into him. His hard dick flopped on his six pack and my sack slapped against his plump ass cheeks. With one hand, he gripped the blanket of the bed and with the other he stroked himself. I grabbed his right leg and licked his lower leg near his ankle. I looked down again to watch my penis rapidly entering and exiting his ass. The sight of me penetrating Cameron got me even more aroused. My abs would flex with every thrust.

“Fuck me harder.” He grunted

I happily obliged as I lifted my leg onto the bed to anchor myself and pulled him deeper onto my cock. Cameron moaned louder. I was hunching over him slightly as Cameron’s left leg was bent over his stomach. I was penetrating him deep. I looked over at him and looked at his beautiful face. He was in complete bliss. He then opened his eyes and looked at me. I leaned over to kiss him as if with the touch of his lips, a spark of orgasmic pleasure rushed upon us.

“I’m gonna come.” I said

“Go…come babe!” he said

I pounded the last few times hard and deep dumping what felt like a month’s worth of sperm into him. Cameron also came a lot. The most I’ve seen in a while. He had squirted not only on his stomach and chest, but the pillows behind him.

“That was fucking amazing. The best.” Cameron said out of breath

“The best?” I smiled

“Yeah.” He responded

“Better than that time I came home on X?” I asked

“Fuck yeah. This had passion.” Cameron said

We kissed one another, got up and cleaned ourselves off. We got dressed and decided to leave the hotel. Why stay there…when we had a home to go to.

            Two days later, we got up early and met at the restaurant. It was Grand Opening day. There was an ad in the paper and many of our friends and old co-workers came. Principle Hawkins was there, Doctor Nolan, The doctor at the hospital, Teddy and his cousins, even Brad was there. I stood near the front doors of our restaurant with my mother on my left and my father on my right. Off to the side was our staff. Cameron stood in the crowd, but my dad gestured to him to come join us. He did and stood next to me. In front of us was a red ribbon. The newspaper was there along with a local news station. There had to have been at least one hundred people there.

“I want to thank you all for coming out to the Grand Opening of Ramirez & Sons.” My dad began, “Long ago, I had aspired to open a restaurant with my wife and son as a family. I’m fortunate enough to have them both here in support of this dream. Not only are my family here, but the friends we’ve made here in Depoe Bay are here as well. I’d like to dedicate this restaurant to my sons…Joey and Cameron.”

Everyone began to clap. I could see Diane in the front tearing up. Cameron waved as my dad placed his arm around him.

“Without further ado…welcome!” he said snipping the ribbon

Two of the servers opened the double doors as many of the people in the crowd began to line up to enter. Cameron and I let the crowd go in as we walked off to the side of the building. He grabbed onto both of my arms and pulled me in for a kiss.

“What was that for?” I asked

“I don’t need a reason to kiss you.” Cameron said

“No you don’t.” I smiled

“Your dad…he’s made me feel so welcomed.” He said

“I’m glad. You are family.”

“I’d like it to be official.” He grinned

“Huh?” I asked

“I’d like to call your parents my in-laws one day.” He said

“Really?” I asked

“Of course. I’m crazy about you, Joey.”

“I’d like that.” I said

“When I said Forever…I meant it.” Cameron smiled

We kissed again as a cool breeze from the ocean flowed between us and through our hair. It was a sign that the seasons were changing. We were ready to take on the next chapter of our lives…together.

TRUE LOVE 3 [Chapter 7: The Orange Door]

The following Wednesday, Cameron drove me to my appointment with the therapist. We got out of his Lexus and walked up to a three story office building. Inside was an information desk.

“Hello. I’m looking for Doctor Nolan’s office.” I asked

“Doctor Nolan’s office is on the second floor, suite 211.” The woman smiled

“Thank you.” I said as we walked up the stairs following her directions

We came up to suite 211, walked in to find someone else waiting in the room. A woman behind a desk greeted us.

“Hello. Do you have an appointment today with Dr. Nolan?” she asked

“Yes. My name is Joseph Ramirez.” I told her

“Right on time. He should be done with his current patient momentarily. Please fill out these forms while you wait.” She handed me a clipboard and a pen

“Okay. Thanks.” I said

            As we waited, I answered the questionnaire. It asked random things such as my childhood, habits and emotional scale. Cameron mentioned to answer them honestly, which I did.

“Here you go.” I said handing the woman at the desk the clipboard

“Okay. Thank…” she paused, “Oh. Here comes Dr. Nolan now.”

A man walked out of the door to the waiting room followed by what I assume was another patient. She shook his hand and smiled. The gentleman who was in the waiting room with us, got up and walked out with her.

“You must be Joey?” he pointed at me with a smile

“Hi. Yes.” I said greeting him with a handshake

“And is this your partner?” he asked gesturing to Cameron

He stood up and shook the doctor’s hand.

“I’m Cameron Harris. Thank you for seeing Joey, doctor.” He said with a grin

“Of course, of course. I’ve scheduled you for an hour session. Cameron, if you like you can come back or you can lounge here in our waiting room.”

“Oh. I’ll come back. I have to go run a few errands anyways.” He said

“Sure. Joey is in good hands.” He smiled

“I’ll be back babe. I love you.” He said leaning in to kiss me on the lips

“I love you too.” I kissed him back

“Follow me this way.” The doctor motioned to his back office

We walked down a narrow hall that displayed abstract art and ink blots. At the end of the hall was a plain door painted orange. We walked through the orange door and into his office. I sat down in the chair across from him. He pulled out a file with my name on it and a notepad.

“So, Joey. Let me review a few things I have noted here and if there are any discrepancies, just let me know and I’ll make note of it here on your file.” He said

“Okay.”

He began to read off my general information, date of birth, the year I graduated, parents name, favorite color and even medical questions.

“I have here a police report with a description of the night you were admitted to the hospital. No we don’t need to get into that specifically right now. But I would like you to just share anything on your mind. Anything that has been bothering you that has you worried, or stressed, or even sad?” he asked

I shrugged. Not knowing where to start or even what to say.

“Joey.” He said taking off his glasses, “As a professional, I am not here to judge you. I am here to give you my professional opinion and suggestions. It’s only up to you if you want to act on my opinions. You were sent to me because your loved ones worry you will fall into a path of destruction. I want to guide you down the right path, but it’s a path that you need to be clear of yourself. In order for me to help guide you, I need you to participate. Everything we discuss stays within these walls. Nobody else will ever hear of what we talk about. That is a promise I have never broken.” He smiled

I nodded.

“Good. So share your thoughts.” He asked again

“I don’t feel like myself.” I said bluntly

“How so?” he asked

“Two years ago, Cameron and I went through a rough patch. We broke up for a few months.” I began

“What happened during those months you were split apart?” he asked

“I met someone else.”

“Someone…you loved?” he asked

“No. Someone I lusted after.” I admitted

“Do you…miss this lust?” he asked

I gulped and looked into the doctors eyes.

“Every day.” I answered

“Is the passion between you and Cameron not as strong?” he asked

“It used to be. And even recently…when I was…” I hesitated

“Using?” he asked

“Yes. It was like nothing I ever felt before. Everything just felt so much better. I was happy. Not a care in the world.” I said

“And when you say…you were happy…why were you not happy before?” he asked

“I was.” I clarified

“Were you?” he questioned me

“I…I think so.”

“Try to remember.” He said making notations

“Cameron made me happy. But…I was miserable outside of my relationship. I had a shitty job, daily routines in my life and a horrible relationship with my father.”

“Let’s talk about that.” He said

“My dad?” I asked

“Yes.”                                                                                                         

“Oh. We’re fine now. We resolved our problems at dinner during Father’s day.”

“So were you talking before?” he asked

“Hardly.”

“What did you resolve?” he asked

“Everything.”

“What specifically?” he asked again

“Well…how he treated me. How he didn’t want anything to do with me after finding out I was gay and disowning me and not even acknowledging Cameron.”

“He specifically apologized for that?” he asked

“Well…not exactly.”

“I see.” He said writing down on his notepad

“Did I say something wrong?” I asked

“Wrong? No, never. Whatever you say in this room isn’t wrong or right. It’s neutral. We share thoughts and ideas to help each other out.” He said

“Oh. Okay.”

“We’ll return to your father, let’s get back to the part about your new lust interest.”

“Well, his name was Nick. He used to be a school bully, but I found out that he was secretly in love with me.”

“And you didn’t feel the same way?” he asked

“No, not exactly. I realized that I was using him. He made me not think about Cameron.”

He wrote down more notes.

“Can I ask? What are you writing?”

“Topics of discussion. It helps me piece together things, gaps.” He said

“Oh. Is there a pattern you see, yet?”

“Indeed.” He said

“Can you please tell me?” I asked

“I usually like to get to know the patient a little better before I start assessing the matter and offering opinions.” He said

“Please. If you have anything that can help me today. I would appreciate it.” I begged him

He looked down at his notepad and stood up. He came over to the coffee table in front of me and sat down.

“Joey. I’m seeing signs of depression.” He said

“Depression? I don’t feel depressed.” I said

“It’s not a deep depression. But you can potentially build a depression deep enough to send you spiraling.” He said

“But why would I do something so careless as doing drugs?” I asked

“Nick.” He said

“Nick?”

“Just as you were using Nick to fill the void of missing Cameron, you were doing the same with seeking drugs. To change how you felt. It has nothing to do with lust or sex.”

“But…I’m with Cameron now. Why would I need to fill the void with him?” I asked

“That’s due to your father. You seem to have underlying issues in trying to please others. You want to please everyone…but the person you don’t seem to please…is yourself.” He said

Shit. He’s right.

“When you decided to take drugs, you did it because you had the desire to be someone else. Someone reckless, someone daring.” He continued, “Is there anyone in your life that is like that?” he asked

“Oh…well.” I began, “I recently met one of Cameron’s friends. He seemed care free and was just enjoying life.” I said

“Would you like my professional opinion now?” he asked

“Yes, please.”

“Stop trying to be like others. You have a loving partner, a newly founded relationship with your father and friends who care deeply about you.”

I smiled at him.

“You’re right. When Cameron and I first got together…we hadn’t made love at all. We just enjoyed each other’s company. It was a simple kind of love, but it gave me butterflies every time I was around him.” I said

“See. You know what the problem is. You just need to voice it and fix the problem. You’re smart Joey. It’s good to come out of your comfort zone, but don’t forget who you are.” He said pointing at my chest

            Our discussion was really helping me see things clearly. We continued to discuss things in further detail. I was discovering so much that I had closed off in the back of my mind. It felt so good to just blurt it out. The hour session drew to a close. It flew by so fast. He scheduled to meet with me in two weeks. He told me that I ever needed to see him on an emergency, to call his cell phone. This was going to be the start of a new day.

TRUE LOVE 3 [Chapter 6: Father's Day]

It had been a week since my release from the hospital. I was ready to get back to my routine. I had an appointment with a counselor next week. Until then, Cameron was on watch duty since he had taken a week off work. I had to grain his trust back and I was okay with that. While I was at work, Larissa promised Cameron that she would watch over me. I arrived at work and walked in the front door. Before I could reach the break room where the timeclock was, my manager called me into his office.

“How are you feeling?” he asked

“Better, thank you.” I said

“Joey…” he began, “I received word that the reason you missed work was due to a drug related incident.”

“Oh, I…” I tried to explain

“Oh, no. I don’t need you to say anything right now. I just wanted to remind you that there is no tolerance for drug use within the bank. It’s against the policy of the corporate standards. Unfortunately I was forced to make a decision.” He paused

I took a deep breath.

“I’m going to have to let you go.” He said

“I understand.” I said stone faced

“I’m very sorry. I need you to sign a couple documents showing that we’ve discussed your termination and that you have received your final paycheck, which I have right here.” He pulled out a folder with the papers in it

I leaned over to sign the papers. He handed me a small envelope with my check in it.

“I wish you all the best of luck, Joey.” He said

I nodded. I didn’t want to speak, for fear of bursting out in tears. I walked of his office and headed towards the front doors.

“Joey.” Larissa called out.

I stood at the exit, frozen. I closed my eyes as tears streamed down my face. I shook my head and continued to walk out. I quickly got in my car and sobbed like a baby. I called Cameron. Hopefully he was still at home.

“Hello?” he answered

“Cameron.” I cried

“What’s wrong?!” he asked concerned

“I got fired!” I shouted

“What! Are you still there?” he asked

“I’m in my car in the parking lot.” I clarified

“Okay, well hold on. I’ll be there right now.”

Cameron hitched a ride with Phillip. They both came to my driver side door and hugged me at the same time as I continued to cry. I don’t know why I was taking it so hard. I felt like my life was falling apart. Phillip took off as Cameron got in my car to drive me back home. He was able to take one more day off from work. I felt so bad, but I’m glad he was there to comfort me. Most of the day, I slept resting my head on his lap while in the living room. I had it so good with Cameron. I put him through so much crap in the four short years we’ve been together. After everything we’ve gone through so far, he is still madly in love with me. The next day, Natalie was off work and had agreed to, the term I used, babysit me. I realized that Father’s day was coming up this Sunday. My mom had invited me over for dinner. She promised that my dad was going to be on his best behavior. I wasn’t sure if I was ready for this.

            Sunday finally arrived. Cameron drove us to my parents’ house. I was fidgeting in my seat.

“Baby, relax.” He said holding my hand

“I’m nervous. Last time I was here it…” I suddenly stopped myself

“It’s when you were with Nick.” Cameron said

“Yeah.” I said in a low tone

“It’s okay babe. I’m not Nick. And this won’t be anything like that time.”

We drove up to the house in the woods and got out. My mother opened the door greeting us with a hug and kiss on the cheek each. My dad was coming down the stairs as we entered the living room.

“Dad.” I said

“Joey.” He said nodding at me, “Cameron.” He greeted him with another nod

“Happy Father’s day.” I said walking up to him and shaking his hand

“Thank you for coming.” He said flatly

“Happy Father’s day sir.” Cameron said shaking his hand with a smile

“Mhm.” He said nodding again

Well…so far so good I guess. We walked to the dining room, where my mom prepared roast beef with scalloped potatoes, white bread rolls, steamed rice and apple pie.

“everything looks great mom.” I said

“Dig in.” she said

“I’d like to say a prayer.” My dad said

“Jesus.” I said in a low tone

“Oh, did you want to pray?” my dad asked thinking I was starting to pray

“Oh…no. Sorry. Go ahead.” I said

“Heavenly Father, Please bless the food we are about to receive. Bless those who are without food today and those not fortunate to spend time with the ones they love…”

I opened my eyes in shock. I looked up at my mother and Cameron who both were in shock.

“…Thank you Lord, for looking after my son. Keeping him on this earth.” He began to choke up, “For opening my eyes to the sin’s I have committed. Thank you for giving me the chance…to say…I’m sorry.” He said looking up at me with tears in his eyes

I got up from the table and walked over to him. He stood up to meet me and hugged me tightly. He sobbed into my shoulder. I couldn’t help but break down as well.

“Dad.” I sobbed, “Thank you.”

“I was so scared I was going to lose you.” He cried

From the corner of my tear filled eyes I could see Cameron and my mother wiping their tears of joy away. My father released me and looked at me, “I love you.” He said

“I love you too, dad.” I smiled with tears still rolling down my cheek

“Come here.” He gestured to Cameron

Cameron at first unsure, hesitated and then got up walking around to my dad. My dad opened his arms. They hugged and it brought warmth to my body. I was so moved with emotion.

“This is long overdue, but I’m so blessed to have someone like you love and care for my son.” He said

“Thank you sir.” Cameron smiled

“Call me Joe.” He smiled

We all collected ourselves and began to eat my mother’s amazing home cooked meal. Maybe it was a combination of the food and what just happened, but I realized everyone at the table was smiling. After dinner, we sat around the table to let our food settle so we could eat a piece of pie.

“I have some news to share.” I said a little unsettled

“Oh. So do we!” my mother said with excitement

“You do? Good news or bad news?” I asked

“Good news. You?” my mother asked

“Bad news.” I said

“Well, then you go first.” My mother urged me

“Okay…” I said nervously, “I was fired from my job a few days ago.”

“What? Why?” my dad asked

“Because they found out why I was in the hospital.” I said

“They can’t do that!” my dad said with frustration

“They already did.” I said trying to compose myself

“Don’t worry, Joey. I know where you can find a job.” My mother smiled

“Where?” I asked

“With us!” she said barely able to contain her excitement

“At the school?” I said confused

“No…at our new restaurant!” she squealed

“What! You guys got approved?” Cameron asked ecstatic

“Yes, we found out yesterday!” my dad said

“Congratulations!” I said with a smile

“Yeah, now you can come run it with us. It’ll be a family business.” My dad suggested

“Oh…dad, that sounds great. But you know they always say not to work with family.”

“Screw that. I’m sure it will bring us closer. Besides, we hardly see you. Maybe this will be good. Besides, it could be yours when we are ready to retire.” My dad said

“Are you guys sure?” I asked

“Yes! Let’s do this together!” my mom said

A huge weight lifted off my shoulders. For one, I was excited for both of my parents finally living their dream of owning a restaurant and two; I wasn’t going to be without a job for very long.

“What are you going to call it?” I asked

“Well, we thought about it and your father and I agreed to a name that has meaning.” My mother said

“We’re calling it…Ramirez & Sons.” My father smiled

“Sons?” I asked my dad confused

“Yes…Sons.” He said looking at Cameron

I stared at Cameron. His face filled with emotion. He had a lump in his throat which is seemed to struggle swallowing. I know this hit Cameron like a ton of bricks. His own father didn’t care to reach out to him and was too busy living his life elsewhere with his new family.

“Thank you.” Cameron stuttered over a shaky voice

My dad stood up and walked over to Cameron. He stood up and hugged my father tightly.

“You’re family.” He said rubbing his back in comfort

TRUE LOVE 3 [Chapter 5: Help]

What the fuck happened? Everything was dark. I heard chaos. There were sirens. Why couldn’t I see anything? There was also sobbing over the commotion. I heard someone screaming my name. There was a rhythm of pressure on my chest. Someone saying, “Everybody stand back! CLEAR!”

            I woke up to the sound of a rhythmic beep. My body was aching. I felt something covering my face. As I forced my eyes to open, I realized I was in a hospital bed. I looked down at my arm to find an IV attached to it. I was hooked up to machines and a breathing mask. I looked to my left to find Cameron sleeping in the corner chair. Before I could try to get up, a nurse walked in.

“Oh no you don’t. You lay right back down.” She said

“What happened?” I asked

“The doctor will be right in to talk to you.” She said writing on her clipboard

“Hey, babe.” Cameron said waking up to our voices

He stood up and walked towards me.

“How are you feeling?” he asked holding my hand

“Thirsty.”

“Here, drink some water.” The nurse gave me a small plastic cup filled with ice water

As I finished the cup, the doctor walked in.

“Okay. Glad to see you awake, Mr. Ramirez. Do you know where you are?” he asked

“The hospital.” I said

“You know who this is?” he pointed to Cameron

“My boyfriend.” I said

“You know his name?” he asked again

“Cameron Harris.”

“How about the day?” he asked

“Sunday night? No…Monday morning?”

“It’s Tuesday.” He responded

“What?” I asked in shock

“It’s okay. I just need you to stay calm. What is the last thing you remember?” he asked

Shit. I’m not even sure. I knew for sure that I had gone to Mike’s house to score drugs. But after that, I wasn’t sure if everything else was just my imagination. Fuck. I kind of remember being on the floor and…oh no. Please don’t tell me that I slept with Mike. I hope I didn’t go down on him. I couldn’t remember.

“Joey?” Cameron urged me

“I went for a run.” I said

“Then what happened?” he asked

“I went to a friend’s house.”

“What friend?” the doctor asked

“Mike.” I said

“Did anything happen at Mike’s house?” the doctor continued

Just as I was about to answer, two officers walked in the room.

“Doctor.” The nurse alerted him

“We’ll take it from here, Doc.” Said one of the officers

“Joey? Joey Ramirez?” the officer asked

“Yes?”

“I’m officer Sheldon, this is officer Kentwood. We have a few questions we’d like to ask you.”

“Okay.” I said flatly

“How do you know Mike?” Officer Sheldon asked

“I ran into him at a club.” I said

“How long have you known him?” he continued

“Not very long.”

“Give us an exact time frame.”

“One day.” I said

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Cameron’s head spin directly towards me. Shit.

“What is the last thing you remember at Mike’s” he asked

“We were just sitting around talking.” I could feel Cameron’s hand beginning to loosen its grip

“Did you guys, take anything?” the officer asked

I stayed silent for a minute. I was so scared. What would the outcome be if I told the truth? Would it be worse if I lied?

“We did some coke.” I confessed

“How much?” he asked

“Just one line.” I said

Cameron had removed his hand from mine and stood up beginning to pace. He then pulled out his cell phone and walked out of the room. Oh my God. This wasn’t good.

“Are you positive?” he asked

“I’m pretty sure.”

“Nurse. Do you mind shutting the door?” he asked her

The nurse complied. I was getting nervous.

“Don’t worry Joey. Just stay calm.” The doctor said reassuring me

“Did you and Mike conduct sexual intercourse during your meeting?” through the blinds of my bedroom window facing the hall of the hospital, I could see Cameron turn around to see what my response was. The officer was close enough to the door allowing Cameron to hear what was going on still.

“I’m not sure.” I said shaking my head unsure

“Would you like us to fill you in on what happened?” the doctor asked

“Yes please.” I said as a tear rolled down my face

“It seems that after you had taken your first dose of cocaine, you began to hallucinate. Mike engaged you to perform oral sex on him. By the DNA sample we took from inside your mouth, we were able to determine, that you did in fact have oral sex. Mike explained that you continued to do additional lines of cocaine. While Mike only took one, you seemed to have taken up to three lines. This is a deadly dosage. Not only for a first time drug user, but because the cocaine was laced with other household chemicals making it stronger and more toxic to the brain.”

I wanted to break down in tears. How could I have been so stupid. I held back the tears as they sat in my eyes. My bottom lip began to quiver.

“Mike called 9-1-1 when you passed out and began to have convulsions. Mike called a mutual friend of yours who then called Mr. Harris. The ambulance picked you up and performed CPR on you as it seemed you had stopped breathing. At one point, your heart also stopped.”

“What? I died?” I asked in shock

“Momentarily, yes.”

“Where is Mike at now?”

“He’s being booked.” The officer said

“Will I go to jail?” I asked

The officers looked at one another and then the doctor.

“Since this your first offense and you were not in possession of the drugs. You will not be taken in, however. You will be fined and charged with a misdemeanor crime. You can lower the fine by exercising community service.”

“I’ll do anything.” I said

“The best thing to do now. Is to get on a clean path.” The officer suggested

“Thank you officers.” I said they shook the doctor’s hand and left the room

I noticed Cameron’s eyes were fixed on me. He looked upset, scared and uncertain all at the same time. He then simply walked away down the hall. I wanted to cry. I fucked up. Why was I being so reckless? A few minutes later Cameron returned with his mother, who worked at the hospital with him.

“Oh, Hun. Are you okay?” she asked checking my vitals

“Hi Diane. Yeah. I’m okay I think.” I said staring at Cameron

“What made you do something like that?” she asked

I just shrugged. I heard noise out in the hall. Suddenly Natalie, Phillip, Larissa, Teddy and my mother rushed into my room.

“Joey!” My mother said with tearful eyes

“Mom.” I said with a shaky voice as she hugged me

“Don’t you ever do anything like that again!” she said looking into my eyes

Tears rolled down her face. I was so happy to see her; I was however upset to see my father hadn’t come.

“Where is dad?” I asked

“You’re father had to work.” She made up an excuse for him

“Joey. I’m so glad you’re okay. Larissa said hugging me

“Thank you for coming.” I said

“I can’t stay long. I’m on my lunch.” She said in her bank uniform, “I’ll swing by after work.”

“Okay.” I said as she darted back out of the room

“Cameron called your Job and explained there was an emergency.” Natalie said

“Thank you.” I said holding out my hand for his

He just stood there not moving. He didn’t even attempt to reach for me.

“Why don’t we give the boys some time to talk?” Diane said

“I’ll be in the waiting room.” My mother said waving at me

Diane closed the door behind me. Cameron started to pace in front of the hospital bed.

“Please talk to me.” I said

“I can’t.” He said calmly

“I’m sorry.” I said

“That isn’t good enough.” He responded

“What can I do to make it better?” I asked trying to fight back tears

“Get help.” He said

“I’m not an addict.” I said

He just stared at me. Even I didn’t believe myself at this point. Yes. I only did drugs twice. But if I was so easily attracted to the idea of drugs and thought I could handle it, maybe I was an addict? Or potential addict?

“Please.” He pleaded

“Okay.” I said

“What?” he asked unsure if he heard me right?

“Okay. I’ll get help.” I said

“Good. This isn’t you.” He said

“I know.”

“You don’t even look like yourself.” He added

“I don’t?”

He picked up a mirror from the nurses station and brought it to me. I stared at the person in the reflection. Oh my God. He was pale, had a two day five o’clock shadow, messy hair, chapped lips and droopy eyes.

“Is this who you want to be?” he asked with a tear rolling down

“No.” I said shaking my head

After we talked, Cameron gathered everyone back in the room. He told them that I had agreed to seek help.

“Teddy.” I said calling for his attention

“Yeah?” he asked nervously

If I wanted to, I could put him on the spot. Blame him; tell Cameron that he came onto me, that he gave me ecstasy, that he was my reference in contacting Mike. But instead, I wanted to show my appreciation.

“Thank you.” I said, “When Mike called you, you called Cameron immediately after. Thank you for that.” I said

“Oh….you’re welcome.” He grinned

“I have one more confession to make.”

Everyone looked nervous, especially Teddy.

“I took ecstasy.” I confessed

“What?” Natalie said in shock

“The night I went out with Larissa. I found a pill in…”

“Your wallet.” Cameron finished my sentence

“How did you know?” I asked in shock

“Because I found the empty bag and note in your wallet after you fell asleep. I knew something was up after we had that amazing yet rough fuu…” he stopped suddenly remembering both our mothers were in the room, “uuhfiesta.”

I knew what he was talking about obviously.

“I’m sorry I lied to you.”

“Did you get it at the club that night?” he asked

“No. It was in there when we got back from Newport.” I admitted

“And you held onto it?” he asked

“Yes. I was afraid you would accuse me of using.” I said

“I wouldn’t have been wrong though.” He pointed out

“I know.”

The doctor returned breaking through the crowd of people inside my room.

“Good news. You’ll be released tomorrow morning. The officers will pick you up and escort you to the station to do the paperwork, and then you can get home and get some rest. I’ll write a recommendation for your job that you take a week off work.”

“Thank you doctor.” Cameron and I said

TRUE LOVE 3 [Chapter 4: Dust to Dust]

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…

TRUE LOVE 3 [Chapter 3: Rough]

After finding the small bag of ecstasy in my wallet, I decided not to tell Cameron. I feared he would think I was lying to him. I kept it in my wallet, I felt guilty, but I had enough to deal with already. A week had gone by and Larissa called me. She wanted to go out to a local club, which made since, now that she was twenty-one, she wanted to enjoy the nightlife. I told Cameron that I was invited out and he looked extremely suspicious and upset at the same time.

“Why would she invite you out after what happened last week?” he snarled

“Cameron. Listen. I’m not going to let that happen again okay? Can’t you just trust me?” I asked

“I wish I could go with you, though. Maybe I should call off work?” he began to ponder

“No. Just go in. I’ll be fine, I promise.” I pleaded

Although against his better judgement, he agreed as long as I didn’t drink more than I could handle. As night approached, I had showered, shaved and gotten ready. I wore a fitted black buttoned up shirt with rolled up sleeves, a silver tie and faded jeans with scattered tears down the legs. Cameron was already at work, so I decided to text him, Leaving to pick up Riss, I’ll see u when I get back. Love u. He responded, Be safe. Love u. I got into my Mazda 3 and drove to Larissa’s. She looked hot. She wore a tight black dress that complimented her tight curved body. She wore black pumps with straps up just above her ankles. I loved that she as a lipstick lesbian.

“You look nice!” she said kissing me on the cheek, and then wiping away her lipstick smear

“Thanks. But you look hot!” I said

“Thanks…I took forever putting on this dress.” She said

“Why? Too tight?” I asked

“No, I had a hard time trying to tuck my enormous dick.” She said fluffing her hair with her hands

I laughed at her, hoping she was just joking of course. Once she strapped on her seatbelt, we were off. We arrived to a local club called Neptune. I pun since we were so close to the bay I guess. We entered the club and found a mix of people. Most couples were male and female; we saw a good mix of “our kind”. Depoe Bay’s gay scene had grown within the past few years. A lot of familiar faces from high school were in this club, lots of pats on the backs, a couple of ass smacks and hugs from people I’ve only talked to in school.

“Local celebrity, I guess.” Larissa joked

“Don’t hate.” I laughed

“Can I get your fucking autograph…I mean shit.” She said

“They just admire me…what can I say?” I joked

“Yeah. Only because you and Cameron are such legends!” she laughed

I laughed with her, but she was right in a way. We weren’t legends, but we were well known because of our public coming out. When we were in school, we didn’t exactly hide our relationship, the fight in the cafeteria with Nick, the Prom, the restaurant we fled from, the kiss in the rain on Cherry Blossom Cliff, which was the most talked about because Natalie thought it was such a romantic story, she had told Jasmine about it and Jasmine wrote an article in the school paper. We had been accepted in our generation and some older folks in the town. Now it was the new normal, nobody gave us strange looks or death stares. We sat at the bar and ordered a drink and bopped our head to the music.

“Thanks for coming out with me.” Larissa said

“For sure. I needed to get out anyways.” I admitted

“Shit.” Larissa said spinning around to face the bar

“What?” I did the same

“It’s Teddy.” She said

“What?” I said turning back around

“No!” she grabbed my arm to stop me

We sipped on our drinks and bopped along to the music.

“Follow me.” She said tugging my shirt as we dove into the crowd of dancing people.

We positioned ourselves in a corner away from the traffic and danced to the house music. I then felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to find Teddy smiling.

“Hey!” he said opening his arms for a hug

“Hey.” I said with a fake smile and hugging him

“Larissa, damn…look at you.” He said about to hug her

“Just look.” She smiled and spun around

“Well, alright then.” He said putting down his arms

“What are you doing here?” I asked

“Just came to check out the club. Where’s Cameron?” he asked

“Working.” I said

“Bummer…well I guess you’ll have to dance with me tonight.” He laughed

“Nope…he’s my date.” Larissa said pulling me closer to her

“Oh okay.” He laughed, “that’s too bad.” He said winking at me and disappearing into the crowd

“Thanks.” I said to Larissa

“I think you have a new stalker.” Larissa said

“Oh God…don’t say that.” I laughed

“Um…if I were you…I wouldn’t drink that anymore.” She said looking at the drink in my hand

“Oh…good call.” I said

Who knows if Teddy slipped something into my drink? I didn’t know him well enough to trust the guy, and with what happened last week. I wasn’t taking any chances. We continued to dance and a few more drinks later, I was feeling a very good buzz. When I get a little drunk, I begin to get brave. I danced with a few familiar people from high school. Just as I was getting into the song I was dancing to, I saw Phillip walk in. I pushed myself through the crowd to greet him.

“Phil. Phil!” I called out for him

“Hey!” he said reaching to hug me

“What are you doing here?” I asked looking for Natalie

“Natalie told me you guys had gone out, so I thought I’d come and join you guys.” He said

“Oh…well, where is Nat?” I asked

“She stayed home. She said she was really tired. I was going to stay in with her, but she told me that I should just come out and have fun with you guys.” He admitted

“Oh…okay…well come on.” I said grabbing his hand to pull him through the crowd

We reached Larissa and I found her dancing with a girl, extremely provocative.

“I’ll dance with you.” Phillip said shrugging

“Are you sure?” I asked

“Yeah…come on. Let’s show them how it’s really done.” Phillip laughed

We started dancing, at first it was a little strange, but he got really into it. He pulled me in and started grinding on me. I couldn’t help but laugh. He leaned down and told me to turn around. Without any questions, I did and he pulled my arms up over his head and around his neck as we swayed back and forth.

“Let’s do the dirty dancing scene.” He laughed

“What?!” I giggled

He ran his fingers from my arm, to my armpit and down my side. He then spun me around, grabbed my waist and pulled me against his body.

“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” He said

I couldn’t stand this kid. I broke out in laughter.

“Here…you lead now.” He said spinning around with his back against my front. It looked strange since I was shorter than him.

“What are you doing?” I asked

“I’m going to twerk.” He said about to lean over

“No!” I shouted laughing, “Please don’t twerk.” I said grabbing his arm

We continued to dance normally for the rest of the night. Phillip came with me to the bar as he asked for a coke, while I got a Mai-Tai.

“Hey, is that Teddy?” he asked pointing

“Yeah. He asked me to be his date for the night.” I said

“What? Are you serious?” Phillip asked

“Yep.”

“Well, too bad, you’re my date for the night…you may even get lucky.” He laughed

“Get in line…Larissa, claimed me first.” I joked

“Bitch.” He said sarcastically

Phillips phone rang. It was Natalie. He excused himself to take the call outside. I stayed at the bar, while I waited for him to return. Teddy ended up showing his face.

“Where’s your date? Or Dates?” he laughed

“They’re around here somewhere…” I giggled

“Wanna dance?” he asked

“Um…I don’t know.” I said

Wow. I was feeling really buzzed.

“Fuck it…lets go.” I said

I followed Teddy to the dance floor opposite of where Larissa was. Before we stopped to dance, I tossed back my drink to enjoy it before the possibility of it getting spiked. We began to dance, the people around us were crowding us and we were forced to get closer. Teddy was very handsome. I wanted to confront him, now that we were by ourselves.

“Hey.” I said, “Last week…in Newport.”

“Yeah.”

“You swear, it wasn’t you that gave me the ecstasy?”

“It wasn’t me that gave you the ecstasy.” He repeated after me

“I found another pill.” I admitted

“You did?” he asked in surprise

“Yeah. It was in my wallet.”

“You still have it?” he asked

“Yeah. I didn’t want Cameron to think I was hiding it from him.” I clarified

“Let me see.” He said

I pulled out my wallet and showed him the small bag. He quickly covered it with his hand.

“Don’t show everyone.” He said

“Oh, sorry.”

“I’ll take it.” He smiled at me

“What?” I asked confused

“Just give it to me.” He said taking the baggy from my hands

He opened the bag and dropped the pill into his palm.

“Come with me.” He said tugging my arm

I followed him idiotically as we headed to the bathroom. I knew the alcohol was getting the best of me. I needed to rehydrate. We walked into the empty bathroom.

“Come on.” He said grabbing my hand, but this time, I didn’t yank it away

We stepped into a large empty stall and he locked it.

“What are you doing?” I asked

“Shh,” he whispered, signing me to keep my voice down, “I’m just going to take it.”

“It’s not good for you.” I slurred

“Have you ever tried this?” he asked

“Nope.”

“All it does is give you energy…and keeps you focused…and make everything you touch…feel 100 times better.”

“Really?” I asked intrigued

“Really.” He smiled at me

He popped the pill in his mouth and tossed back his head to swallow the pill. He kept his eyes closed. We stood in the stall for a few minutes while I watched his reaction.

“This feels amazing.” He said finally

“I wish I felt amazing.” I muttered

“You still can.” He said with a smirk

“How?” I asked

“I’ll show you.” He said sticking out his tongue

On the tip of it…half of the pill was still there.

“You only took half?” I asked

“Yeah. Take this one.” He said showing me his tongue again

“Gross.” I slurred

“Trust me. It won’t be as powerful now.”

I looked down at my feet contemplating taking the drug. I finally gave in.

“Give it to me then.” I said sticking my hand out

“Come get it.” He said with a naughty grin

While sticking out his tongue, I leaned in about to grab it with my lip, when I suddenly felt his hands behind my neck and pulled me in. We began to kiss. Between the massaging of our tongues, I felt him slip the pill in my mouth. I unlocked lips from his and swallowed the pill. I kept my eyes closed as he leaned in towards me again and continued to kiss me. His lips ran down my chin to my neck…I felt as if he were heading for my penis to blow me. I stopped him and sucked on his lips. He was right. Everything felt amazing. I felt the energy begin to pulsate. His hand rand own my body caressing my erection. He grabbed my hand with his other hand and placed it on his massive erection.

“Fuck, you’re so sexy.” He whispered kissing me

“I can’t do this.” I said releasing his crotch

“Let me just blow you.” He said

“No…we can’t. What about Cameron.” I said pushing him off me

He didn’t say anything. He then began to nod his head in agreement.

“You’re right. I’m sorry. This never happened.” He said

“I agree.” I said still drunk and now high

“Just enjoy the rest of your night.” He said smiling at me and unlocking the stall door

We walked out and went different ways back onto the dance floor. I found Phillip with Larissa again. I was having the time of my life. After the club, Phillip was nice enough to drive us home in my car. Fortunately, he had been dropped off by a cab. We dropped off Larissa first, and then headed back to my place. I was so wasted that I kept stumbling. Phillip carried me piggy back into the apartment. Cameron was already home.

“Fuck. Is he okay?” he asked

“Oh yeah. Just a little toasted.” Phillip said

“Nothing I should be worried about?” he asked

“Nah. Just drank a lot. We kept an eye on him.” Phillip said

“Thank you, man. Hey, if you want, you can stay the night in our guest bedroom?” Cameron offered

“Oh, no, I’m good. I called a cab.” He said

Phillip leaned down, hugging me and kissing my forehead.

“Bye, Phillip. Love u.” I said

“Goodnight. Love u guys.” He responded

“I’ll text you in the morning.” Cameron said leading Phillip to the door

“Okay.” He said leaving

Cameron locked the door and peeled off his shirt, only wearing pajama bottoms. Mmm. He looked so tasty. I stood up, already aroused and peeled off my shirt.

“What are you doing?” he said looking at me

“You.” I said with a smile and jumping into his arms

Cameron carried me, with my legs wrapped around his waist as I kissed his entire face, his chin and neck. I began to feel his penis harden against my inner thighs as we headed to the bedroom.

“Baby, you’re drunk.” He laughed

“So. I still have needs.” I said

“Good…because I’m fucking horny.” He said pulling down his bottoms revealing his beautiful God-like body. His penis at full attention craving me, throbbed with excitement. He walked over to me as I lied on the bed. He unzipped my pants and pulled both my pants and underwear off. He flipped me over and began to eat my ass. I arched my back and moaned with delight. Holy fucking shit. This felt amazing. I could almost come. Cameron squeezed my ass cheeks hard as his tongue entered me, and rimming the edge of my anus. I always told Phillip, you don’t know what you are missing until you try this. He never seemed interested in rim jobs, but until a man experiences this sensation, they don’t know what pleasure is. Sure, it sounded disgusting, but once you try it, the thought of skipping this task during sex, would be a sin. Finally unable to withstand the pleasure, I reared up and turned around leaving Cameron with his tongue out. I pulled him onto the bed and forced him onto his back. I licked his chest, running my tongue down his abs and around his thighs. I flattened out my tongue and tickled his scrotum. He moaned loudly calling for more. I then began to suck on his eight inches of pure glorified meat. I lowered my head onto it, deep throating the thick penis into my mouth. I closed my lips tightly around it and sucked it hard. Cameron grabbed my hair and twitched.

“Ughh! Fuck…yeah daddy.” He said in pleasure

After lubricating his penis with my saliva, I crawled over him and crouched down to lower my tight ass onto his dick. I usually like it to enter me slow, but I rammed myself down onto it. Cameron sat up in disbelief.

“Uhhh! Oh my God.” He said breathless

“You like that?” I said looking deep into his eyes

“Yeah baby.” He said lying back down

I began thrusting on him, grinding my body back and forth. I placed my right hand on his chest and my left behind me gripping his thigh as I arched my back, allowing every inch of his cock to be inside me. I was riding him hard. Our bed squeaking, the headboard banging against the wall. Cameron was breathing in between his clenched teeth gripping my ass pulling me deeper onto his penis. My hard erection flopping on his abs would clap with every trust. I pulled up Cameron still riding him, so his face was against mine. I began to grind hard and fast, so fast I’m surprised we weren’t starting a camp fire. We were both moaning in sync, enjoying the pleasure…I wanted to explode and scream at how amazing this felt.

“I’m close baby.” He whispered

I leaned back just a bit to grip my penis and begin stroking it while I still rode him. I could feel the intense heat between our bodies from rubbing. I didn’t want this to stop, but I also wanted to enjoy the feeling of ejaculating.

“I’m gonna come.” He said loudly

“Come baby.” I said

Just then, Cameron grunted as I felt his body force himself up, pushing his dick deep into me. The warm sensation of his semen entered my body as I came into my hand and his chest. I almost fell over at the feeling. It was amazing. I was shaking at how good it felt. I grabbed my face with both hands and kissed me.

“You were fucking amazing.” He said

“That was insane.” I smiled

“Damn baby. You are a sex beast today.” He said

“I don’t know what came over me…” I laughed

“I don’t know, but you sure did come over me…a lot.” He joked

“Sorry.” I chuckled

He leaned to kiss me.

“I love you babe.” He said

“I love you more.” I responded

We got out of bed, took a shower together and eventually went to bed. While I was lying in bed, so many things crossed my mind - the amazing sex I just had for one, two - kissing Teddy and holding onto that handful of a penis he was packing and finally - craving more ecstasy.
