Finding Ryan by Adam Stewart
"Thought we'd go out for a meal tonight" Jason said when Ryan and Daryl arrived home that night.
After they'd both showered and changed, they set off to Soho and went to Jason's favourite gay restaurant. Daryl offered to pay his share but Jason wouldn't hear of it so he bought them drinks at the bar they moved onto after their meal.
"Want to go to a club?" Jason asked when they'd downed another round of drinks which Ryan said he'd buy this time. Now he had money of his own he could buy the drinks every so often and it made him feel good.
The other two said they'd like to go onto a club so they decided which one and made their way. It was nothing special but they all had a good time dancing the night away with the other guys. It was three in the morning when they finally got home and collapsed into their beds.
It was late morning when Jason woke so he got up and started making a brunch for them all. Eventually he heard Ryan and Daryl getting up.
"Morning guys" he said breezily as they finally lurched into the kitchen, "How are we this morning?"
"Fucking awful" Ryan exclaimed much to the amusement of the other two. Daryl seemed okay and sat down to wait for his brunch with anticipation. Jason took Ryan into his arms and hugged him.
"My poor little cuddly bear" Jason giggled as he hugged and kissed Ryan but eventually he cheered up and enjoyed the meal that Jason had cooked. After breakfast they sat down and discussed the advert for Daryl's new venture. He decided he wanted a shot of him naked but not showing off his bits so Jason took some very classy pictures of him with legs appropriately placed to hide his cock. Even so they were very sexy and they soon decided on which one to use.
They then discussed the services on offer and decided that three would be detailed. One would be described as a 'full body naked erotic massage' which would include a wank and last for an hour. The premium version would include the same but also offer a fuck by Daryl and would last one and a half hours. The third would be the four handed massage that would also include a fuck but since both would be there it could be an active or passive fuck. They decided to keep the detail out of the advert but give sufficient to make each service sound interesting.
Ryan then set to designing an advert having worked out the sizes that the magazines used. Once it was complete with the photo included they were all very pleased with the result. It took all afternoon to do all this so they decided to sleep on it and have another look at it the following morning.
The next day, Daryl said he was more than happy with what they'd produced so it was emailed to QX and Boyz for insertion in the next available issue. Jason said he'd pay for the first one as a gift but there on Daryl would be on his own. Ryan was not mentioned in the advert apart from saying that a good looking sexy friend provided the other pair of hands for the four handed massage. They also decided to use pseudonyms rather than their own names.
"Let's see what that produces" Daryl said once it had gone. He was feeling both excited and nervous but once he'd done a few he knew he'd be okay. There was always a risk with such ventures but it was worth taking and he'd spoken to plenty of escorts about their experience.
A few days after the advert appeared, Daryl phoned Ryan to say "I've got the first enquiry; the guy is coming round tomorrow morning."
The next day Ryan phoned him to see how it had gone and he said it went like a dream. Jason had also sent details of the advert to some of his friends who he knew would be interested in the four handed massage. For these guys it was decided the massage would take place at the Bank Side apartment.
Two weeks later Daryl contacted Ryan to say that someone wanted a four handed massage the next day in the afternoon. It turned out to be one of Jason's friends so he knew where to come.
The guy arrived and Daryl took him into the spare bedroom they were using for the massage. The guy stripped off and Daryl asked him to lay face down on the bed. He was in his forties but had a good physique.
"I take it you two will be naked as well" the guy asked.
Daryl confirmed they would and he and Ryan stripped off. The guy had a peek as he laid face down on the bed. He then asked if his hands and feet could be tied down.
"I find it more erotic" he explained.
Ryan said they could do that if he wished so went to get the restraint straps. Having got his arms and legs pulled wide apart and tied to the bed, Daryl climbed across the guy's back to start massaging his shoulders.
"You can smack my arse if you want" the guy then said, "I like that".
Ryan had also brought the whip with him so he gave the guy's naked butt a few lashes trying not to catch Daryl's naked back as he did so.
"Yeah, that's good; you can keep whipping until my arse is rosy red"
Ryan obliged and when the firm buttocks were a rosy red he stopped and then started massaging them. Every so often he slipped a hand between the guy's legs to grasp his cock which was now fully erect.
"Oh yeah, fucking brilliant" the guy exclaimed.
When Daryl had finished the top half he moved his naked body down over the guy's butt and both he and Ryan massaged the guy's legs together. The guy clearly enjoyed the feel of having four hands working over his body as well as having his balls and his cock grasped every so often.
The guy was then released from the straps so that he could turn over.
"You want to be tied up again?" Ryan asked grinning.
"You bet" the guy replied grinning, "this is fucking brilliant".
Once his arms and legs were restrained again Daryl climbed astride the guy and massaged the front of his shoulders and down to his waist. Ryan concentrated on the legs and made sure that as often as possible his hand reached right into the guy's crotch and pushed up against his large floppy balls. He also gave the large erection a light massage every so often, much to the guy's delight.
When the massage was finished Daryl asked the guy whether he wanted to be fucked or fuck either Ryan or Daryl.
"What if I double the fee and you both fuck me and I fuck both of you?"
Daryl looked at Ryan who nodded and grinned. He had already given them the fee for the four handed massage and asked if they wanted the money up front.
"You can pay afterwards" Daryl giggled.
Ryan unfastened the guy's legs and he and Daryl lifted them up over the guy's chest before fixing them to the bed head. The guy's entrance was now wide open and ready for action.
Daryl went first and soon had his sheathed cock inside the guy. He gave him a good long hard fuck before pulling out and handing over to Ryan to do the same.
"Fucking brilliant" the guy exclaimed.
They then lowered the guy's legs and tied them wide apart again. Having sheathed the large organ, Daryl sat on it. After several minutes of riding the big hard tool up and down the guy asked Daryl to stop because he wanted to feel it inside Ryan before he shot his load. Ryan took over and rode the organ for several more minutes before pulling himself off. The guy had still not shot his load so Daryl removed the condom and wanked him off. Suddenly the guy's whole body shook uncontrollably and Daryl and Ryan watched as ribbons of white creamy cum shot out the cock over his chest.
"Oh fuck, that was fucking fantastic" the guy exclaimed.
Ryan wiped the pool of cum up whilst Daryl released the guy's restraints. Once he was free he got his wallet and gave them another load of notes.
"That was worth every penny guys; thank you so much; I shall certainly be recommending your services to my mates. Are you willing to do out calls if required?"
Daryl said they were provided the location was within the London area.
When the guy had finally left, Daryl and Ryan looked at each other and laughed.
"Well, that went well didn't it" Daryl exclaimed.
Over the next few weeks, Daryl had more and more clients so was very pleased with the way things were going. They also had several more four handed massages but nothing quite like the first guy but he did book another similar session for the following month. Daryl made good money and was rapidly getting enough together to pay off his uni fees. His part-time writing gave him sufficient money for day to day expenses to he was a 'happy bunny'!
The whole of January was very cold that year but Jason and Ryan still went round either naked or only wearing a skimpy pair of shorts. On one particular day, Jason had an early morning meeting so left Ryan to his own devices. He sometime took Ryan along to his meetings but this one he wanted to deal with on his own.
Ryan had forgotten that it was the day that Ajay was due to come and clean and when the door entry buzzed at nine he decided not to bother putting any clothes on. Ajay had seen him and Jason naked enough times so he didn't bother.
When Ajay came into the apartment, he looked at Ryan and grinned.
"Mm, a no clothes day today is it?"
Ryan just laughed and said he assumed Ajay would not object to him being naked.
"Only if I can join you and work naked as well"
Ryan said he was very welcome to clean in the nude if he wanted so Ajay stripped off. Ryan often helped Ajay so the pair of them worked away merrily stark naked. When Jason came back home he was greatly amused to see the pair of them naked and said he liked it and hoped that would be the norm for the future. Ajay replied that it would!
It was at the end of January when Ajay arrived one day to do the cleaning. Instead of his normal cheerful self it was clear that something was wrong.
"What's the matter Ajay?" Jason asked concerned.
Ajay looked at him and said he was okay. Jason could see he wasn't and made him sit down before starting any work.
"Come on Ajay; tell me what has happened to make you so unhappy"
"I don't want to bother you with our problems" Ajay said dejectedly.
Jason took hold of Ajay's hands across the table and held them.
"I want to be bothered so spill the beans" Jason replied.
Finally Ajay explained that Jake had been made redundant from his job because the restaurant he had worked at for several years had gone into liquidation. It seemed there were financial irregularities and the bank had foreclosed forcing the business to close down.
"Jake is really upset and doesn't know what he's going to do" Ajay sobbed.
Both Ryan and Jason were now consoling him.
"Can't Jake get another catering position somewhere?" Ryan asked.
Ajay shook his head and said it was difficult getting good jobs in catering at the moment.
"What will he do then?" Jason asked.
"He'd like to start up his own café and has seen some premises in Soho but we don't have the money to set it up and the bank won't give us a loan"
Jason immediately asked Ajay to contact Jake and invite him over for lunch so they could talk. Ajay looked at him wondering why this would help but made the call in any event but Ryan had a shrewd idea what Jason had in mind.
Jake arrived and they all kissed and hugged each other. Jason asked Jake and Ajay to sit down on one of the sofas whilst Ryan made a pot of coffee. Jason then said how sorry he was to hear about the restaurant closing down and the loss of Jake's job.
"Yeah, I never dreamt something like this would happen; don't know what the fuck I'm going to do now" Jake said sadly.
Jason then asked about his dream of running his own café and the premises in Soho. Jason asked a stream of searching questions about the likely start up costs, overheads and likely income. He was impressed at how much serious thought Jake had given to the project. Although he didn't have detailed costs, he had a good idea of what they would be and what level of income he could achieve. He had even worked out staffing costs and the kind of service he wanted to offer. He explained that he had a long term friend and colleague who wanted to join him in the business.
"How long have you known him?" Jason asked.
"Oh, Robert and I go way back; we were at catering college together and when the restaurant started up I got him a job there so we've worked together for a long time. We even had a fling for a short while but it fizzled out; we've been close friends ever since."
"How old is Robert?" Jason asked.
"Two years older than me, which makes him thirty" and then added, anticipating Jason's next question, "I trust Robert implicitly; he's a hard worker and very conscientious so I'm sure we'd get on well in business together. The money is the problem; the fucking bank won't entertain the idea without either of us having any collateral".
"Well, that's where I may be able to help you both" Jason replied.
Jake knew that Jason was rich but didn't know how rich so he looked at him surprised.
"Are you serious Jason?"
"Sure; but I'd need detailed figures showing the start-up costs, likely overheads and a comprehensive business plan before I commit myself. I'd also like to see the premises you have in mind."
Jason then asked more about the premises in Soho and when he heard it was with an agent that Jason had dealt with before he suggested he make contact and arrange for them to go and visit that afternoon. Jake was overwhelmed and agreed so let Jason ring the agent.
"Right, two o'clock this afternoon so why don't you contact Robert and ask him to meet us there" Jason said when he returned to the living room. He reckoned that if Robert was really interested in this project he would drop everything and attend.
"Thank you so much Jason; I don't know how to thank you" Jake exclaimed.
"Don't thank me yet; as I said, I need a lot more information before we go any further"
When Jake had made the call to Robert and explained what was happening, he returned to the living room smiling. It was the first time Ajay had seen him smile for a week since hearing the awful news about his job.
"Robert will meet us there at two" Jake said as he sat down beside Ajay again.
Jason then asked how Jake and Robert would operate. Would they be equal partners in the business and who would do what? Jake explained that since they wanted to operate from eight in the morning to eight at night so as to pick up the early morning, lunch time and early evening trade, he and Robert would share the cooking duties and work shifts with an overlap at lunchtime which they reckoned would be the busiest.
"And what about front of house staff? Jason asked, "Are you planning to work in the café Ajay?"
"Fuck no, I don't want to spend my day in a hot kitchen thanks very much; no, this is very much Jake and Robert's domain although I don't mind helping out occasionally if they get busy."
Jake laughed and put his hand on top of Ajay's as he kissed his cheek.
"We'd need at least a couple of part-time staff" Jake explained, "but the idea is to make their job and their hours flexible" Jake explained, "if possible, we also want to have an open kitchen so we can see what is going on in the café and the customers can see us working in the kitchen area."
"You guys have clearly given this a lot of thought" Jason replied.
"Robert and I have been thinking about this for a long time but the money has always been the problem since neither of us own property. As you know, Ajay and I rent a flat and Robert does the same with his boyfriend, although that's now changed."
"Why's that? Ryan asked.
"He's lived with his boyfriend for just over two years but as soon as the boyfriend heard Jake had lost his job he dumped him for another guy and moved out so Jake can't afford to continue renting the flat; he's going to have to find somewhere smaller."
"Doesn't sound much like a committed relationship" Jason commented.
"Nah, don't think it was; at first all was well but as time went by they tended to lead their own lives so Robert wasn't surprised but it was a double whammy when it happened."
That gave Jason another idea because he knew the premises in Soho had a small flat above that went with it. The agent had said it was originally a coffee shop that had run very successfully for several years and the owner lived in the flat above but he'd died so the family were now trying to sell the shop and the flat or rent them out if they couldn't find a buyer. The current economic climate wasn't the ideal time to set up a new business so the premises had been empty for quite a while. If Jake's figures looked okay, Jason could see his way to obtaining the leasehold premises at a good price!
"Okay Ryan, let's go and prepare lunch for these guys" Jason said suddenly realising it was gone midday.
When they were in the kitchen, Ryan put his arms round Jason and hugged him.
"You really are a star" he said hugging Jason tight round the waist and pressing his head into his chest.
"Business is business" Jason chuckled, "If I can help the guys and make a buck at the same time, then I'm happy to do so but we've got a long way to go yet. Would you be willing to help Jake and Robert with preparing a detailed business plan and go through the figures?"
Ryan said he'd love to do that with them so Jason suggested they mention it over lunch.
When the taxi had dropped them outside the premises in Soho, Jake saw Robert standing with the guy from the agent. They introduced each other and the agent let them in to have a look round. The café area was basically a rectangle with a store room and toilet at the far end and a small kitchen at one side. Jake and Robert went through how they'd like to plan it out which meant ripping everything out and forming a new open kitchen area on one side with room for eight small square tables at the front and bench seating with a further eight tables down the side opposite the open kitchen. This would provide room for approximately thirty two diners which they felt would be enough to make it viable and not too many to cope with. They planned to offer a morning menu including a cooked breakfast between eight and twelve and then a lunch menu that would include four or five standard dishes plus a special each day.
"Keeping it simple allows economy of scale and quality" Robert explained to Jason, "quality of the food and quality of service are going to be the main things we will concentrate on so any staff employed will be trained to provide what we have in mind."
"Sounds good to me" Jason replied and even the estate agent said it sounded a good plan and should do well in the area.
The premises were in a street just off Old Compton Street so should attract regulars who work in the area as well as tourists and of course the gays who frequented that area most of the day and night.
The agent gave them a plan of the premises and Jason checked the measurements out with his electronic measuring tape so that a detailed plan could be prepared. Jake and Robert were so excited that they were running round the place looking at everything and making notes. Jason liked Robert. He was a mixed race guy with gorgeous black hair and a smooth tanned skin. He clearly looked after his physique which Jason admired intently as Robert chatted away to Jake.
"He's rather nice isn't he?" Ryan whispered to Jason when the other two were chatting away.
"Mm, very nice; and a nice butt" Jason giggled.
Ryan playfully slapped Jason on his butt and told him to behave.
"You want to see the flat?" the agent asked when it was clear everyone had seen enough downstairs.
They all said they would so followed him up to the flat which had its own entrance alongside the shop front. It was a one bedroom flat with a small kitchen, bathroom and living room but it was in good condition and only needed a lick of paint and new carpets. The kitchen and bathroom fittings had obviously been replaced in recent years so were perfectly acceptable.
Jason noticed that Robert was taking a keen interest in the space and guessed what was going through his mind.
"I understand you're looking for a smaller flat Robert; would this be of interest to you?"
Robert looked at Jason and smiled, "Yeah it certainly would if the rent was affordable".
"Handy for the café" Jake said, "At least one of us would be living above the shop as it were!"
"Yeah, not a bad idea" Jason added.
Having seen enough they left the agent and Jason invited Robert and Jake to come back to the apartment in Bank Side and join him and Ryan for a meal that evening.
"We can then discuss things further" Jason added as they hailed a cab.
"Would you really be interested in putting up the cash for that place Jason?" Robert asked as they made their way home.
"As I've said to Jake, if the figures look okay then yes, but you guys have first got to get quotes for the refurbishment and set up costs as well as produce a business plan with a detailed budget."
"We know a firm that could do the refurbishment work and install the kitchen equipment" Jake said excitedly, "I'll give my contact a ring and see how soon he could get in to look at the place".
"I'd also want a surveyor's report on the place so I can arrange that" Jason added.
"You thinking of buying it rather than renting then?" Robert asked.
Jason replied that he'd much rather own the leasehold than be at the mercy of a landlord paying rent. He knew that premises in Soho were not going to lose value so even if the business didn't work out he could soon sell it again and no doubt make a profit.
When they got home and Robert had gasped at the location and size of the apartment, like everyone did when they first saw it, Jake made a call to their contact. Jason called a surveyor he'd used previously and fortunately he was able to go and do a survey the following morning. The guy knew Jason well and that he had put a lot of business his way so he pulled out all the stops.
"Brilliant" Jake exclaimed when he came off the phone to his contact, "he can meet us there tomorrow morning at ten".
"Excellent" Jason replied, saying that the surveyor could do the survey the same morning. Jason then called the agent and made the necessary arrangements and it was agreed that Jake and Robert would attend on their own since Jason didn't want any input into how the café was to be set up.
"Let's sit round the table guys and agree a plan of action and produce a list of what things need to be done" Jason suggested. He asked Ryan to be the note taker which he did on his laptop since he much preferred typing on screen than making hand written notes. He also loved using the new laptop that Jason had given him for Christmas.
"I could also produce a plan of the premises on a graphics program I've got" Ryan piped up, "then you guys can see exactly where things can be fitted in."
"I always knew this guy was brilliant" Jason laughed as he gave Ryan a squeeze and a quick kiss.
They worked for the whole afternoon into early evening getting down on paper all their plans and ideas. Robert and Jake used the other laptop to look at suppliers and get details of the stainless steel kitchen equipment they would need. Once they'd decided on things, Ryan inserted them onto the scaled layout he'd produced on his computer.
Bit by bit a picture of the café area was produced until they had all the kitchen equipment planned out along with the tables and chairs. Ryan had also been entering the costs of these items onto a spreadsheet so when they'd finished he was able to give the total figure.
Jake had a rough idea of what the refurbishment and installation costs would be so these were added as well. Next they looked at overheads and added these. Jake had already done a lot of this work before he went to the banks but not in as much detail as Jason wanted. Although he didn't say so, Jason was satisfied with the way the figures were panning out but they needed to firm up on some of the costs.
Jason had sat back and watched the others work away, throwing in the odd suggestion or comment. Ajay had felt like 'a spare prick' as he put it, so he'd gone and done some of the cleaning he'd originally come to do that morning.
"I think that's as far as we can get today" Jason said, "I'll go and start preparing a meal for us all".
Robert stopped Jason and put a hand on top of his.
"I suggest Jake and I prepare a meal for you guys then you can see the quality of food we plan on serving at the café" Robert said.
"Suits me" Jason said smiling, pleased he didn't have to do the cooking for all of them.
"Perhaps Ryan can show us where everything is in the kitchen so you and Ajay go and have a rest in the living room" Jake added.
"Come on Ajay; we are spare pricks now so how about a soak in the hot tub?"
Ajay jumped at the idea and followed Jason into the main bedroom where they stripped off and made their way to the hot tub.
When they'd had sufficient soaking, they went back in, dressed and sat in the living room. After a while, Ryan came in wearing a black apron he'd found in the kitchen and carrying a tray with two glasses of white wine on it.
"Pre dinner drinks" he giggled as he gave Jason and Ajay a glass. He then passed Jason a typed menu. It was headed 'Café RJ' and listed a choice of items. There was tomato soup to start with followed by a chicken and leek pie, or sausages both of which were served with chips or mashed potato and peas. The dessert was lemon tart or ice cream with coffee to follow.
"Would you like to order please guys so the chefs can cook what you want" Ryan giggled.
"Mm, this looks good" Jason replied as he looked at the menu. He chose soup followed by the chicken pie. Ajay chose soup and the sausages.
Ryan noted the order down on a small pad and padded off to the kitchen much to the amusement of Jason and Ajay.
Eventually, Ryan announced that the meal was ready so could they go and sit down in the dining room. It had been beautifully laid out and a bottle of red and white wine was already on the table. They all sat down and Robert served the soup.
"So is 'Café RJ' going to be the name then?" Jason asked as he tucked into his soup.
Jake and Robert said they thought it was a good name and asked for the other's views.
"Yeah, very good" Jason replied, "easy to remember and it slips off the tongue".
The main courses were served and the food was delicious. Jason commented on the fact that it was also dished out very nicely, so looked very appetising.
"All we need is the money" Robert said looking at Jason.
"Once we get the figures from the contractor and the surveyor's report is okay then I can make a final decision" Jason replied smiling.
It was late by the time Jake, Ajay and Robert left and since Jake and Robert were to be at the premises first thing in the morning, Jake suggested Robert stay with them for the night. In any event, Robert didn't relish going home to an empty flat. He really hoped this venture would take off because it solved a lot of his problems.
When the others had gone, Ryan sidled up to Jason and hugged him.
"Robert and Jake are so happy you know; I do hope it all works out okay" Ryan said pulling Jason closer, "You really are a kind guy".
Jason lifted him and Ryan wrapped his legs round Jason's waist.
"Mm, you are a gorgeous sexy teddy bear" Jason giggled as he kissed Ryan and felt his butt without actually responding to Ryan's comment. "Come on, let's go to bed; I want to feel your naked body next to mine".
Ryan giggled and once Jason had put him down, ran off into the bedroom to strip off. Once Jason was standing stark naked, Ryan dropped to his knees taking the head directly into his mouth. The salty tang splashed on his tongue, drawing a moan from Jason. He decided there was nothing better than the taste of a man. The musky scent, strong firm body, and commanding tone of his mate drove him to take him deeper. Ryan swirled his tongue around the head, dipping the tip into the slit and pulling the honey out. His free hand cupped Jason's balls feeling the weight and rolling them around like Chinese stress balls.
Jason picked Ryan up and tossed him onto the bed.
"On your knees, teddy bear."
Ryan moaned as Jason spread his arse cheeks, licking one long line from balls to the puckered hole. Ryan whimpered when Jason nipped each butt cheek.
"Oh, fuck" Ryan cried out enjoying the feeling.
Ryan lowered his head to the bed and rocked forward and back. The sensations running through him were out of control, racing and licking at his nerve endings engulfing him in total ecstasy. Ryan's cock was throbbing as the blood raced to fill it. It was engorged and heavy. Jason dipped between Ryan's thighs and licked them up and down.
"Turn over, lie on your back and spread your legs" Jason told Ryan.
Ryan scrambled to comply. Jason licked the heavy vein on Ryan's cock before taking it into his mouth.
"Fuck!" Ryan screamed as hot ropes of seed shot out into Jason's mouth. His head thrashed from side to side as he drew his knees up and legs falling to the side.
"Fuck me, fuck me please Jason" Ryan begged breathlessly.
He felt slicked fingers enter him, his mind a foggy mess. Jason then threw Ryan's legs over his arms and sank in deep. Pulses of eroticism coursed through Ryan's body as Jason then replaced the fingers with his big strong organ. Jason snapped his hips harder, pounding into Ryan's puckered hole. Ryan came again and Jason joined him before gently collapsing over Ryan's chest. They kissed and held each other for several more minutes savouring the moment.
The following morning, Jake and Robert collected the key to the premises from the agent and then met the contractor to show him the plan Ryan had produced the previous day. He was impressed and they chalked out on the floor where the open kitchen area would be and where all the equipment would go. They could then judge the amount of space available for diners and it all worked out perfect. The contractor then took various measurements to work out the cost of refurbishment before going up to the flat to do an estimate for the redecoration.
He promised to email Jake his quote within the next two days so all they could do now, was wait. The surveyor also turned up whilst they were there and he did what he had to do but didn't mention anything untoward. Jake and Robert hugged each other before finally locking up and ringing Jason to give him the news.
In the meantime, Robert had spoken to someone who was willing to do some market research in the area to see the level of interest in another café such as theirs. Back at the apartment, Ryan was finding out from the local Council what the business rates would be and Jason spoke to his insurance agent to get an idea of the cost of the various insurances that would be required. All the figures were added to Ryan's spreadsheet in readiness for the final piece of the jigsaw.
"If all this goes ahead and I finance the project" Jason asked Ryan casually, "would you be willing to do the books like you do for Rob?"
Ryan looked at Jason and grinned, "Sure I would; I'd love to".
"It would probably involve more work than Rob's books but we could set up the same electronic systems so that supplier invoices and daily sales are sent directly to you."
Ryan said he would be happy to do the work. He really would feel he was earning his keep then!
Two days later, Jake emailed Jason the contractor's quote. The figures were slightly more than Jake had estimated but not by that much so Jason was happy to proceed. All he now had to do was negotiate a good price for the premises.
He invited Robert and Jake over after lunch so they could have a final discussion before he contacted the agent. When they arrived, the five of them sat round the table. Jake, Robert and Ajay looked at Jason with anticipation.
"First of all guys, subject to finance being available, are you still wanting to proceed with your venture?"
Jake and Robert looked at Jason and grinned.
"Fuck yes; we really do Jason" they both replied as if there was never any doubt.
"Good, just wanted to check before I make an offer on the premises" Jason replied grinning.
"Oh fucking hell, does that mean you're willing to put up the finance then Jason?" Robert exclaimed almost screaming with excitement.
"It does but first I want to go through with you the kind of legal agreement I would be looking for."
Jason then gave each of them a synopsis of an agreement that he would get his lawyer to draw up.
"As you can see, I will own the premises and rent it out to the company that is set up for you to run the business under. The rent shown is at the market rate with provision for an annual review. The loan for the refurbishment and the start-up costs will attract a monthly interest payment but this too is at the lower end of the current market rate. After the first year of trading, subject to you having made a profit you will start paying back the capital sum. I will want to have full access to the day to day trading figures to keep an eye on how things are going, and subject to your agreement Ryan is willing to do the book-keeping for you for a small fee. His figures would then form the basis for an accountant to produce the annual accounts each year and deal with tax matters. In addition, Ryan is willing to handle the payroll for your salaries as directors and any staff you employ."
"Wow, that is fucking brilliant, thanks Ryan; doing the accounts was one thing we were worried about" Jake exclaimed.
"Any questions or queries?" Jason then asked.
"Two points" Robert replied, "First, Jake and I are willing to put into the pot the redundancy money we will eventually get from the restaurant; it's not a lot but we'd like to feel we have contributed something. Secondly, what about the flat? I'd like to rent that if possible."
Jason said he thought using their redundancy money was a good idea and with regard to the flat, he would own it as part of the overall property but he was willing to rent it to Robert at a below market rent since he'd be 'above the shop' and no doubt use some of the space for storage of company files and things. He then quoted a rate and said the flat would be subject to a normal tenancy agreement.
"That's brilliant man, fucking brilliant" Robert exclaimed when he heard the rate being suggested. He could well afford that on the salary they'd discussed.
"Just to clarify Jason" Jake then said, "You will own the premises which we will rent, but we run and own the business".
"Yep, I don't want any involvement in the day to day business apart from having the opportunity of seeing the accounts to protect my investment. Having said that I will take an interest in what you do and will be available for any advice you may want but the decisions concerning what you do and how is yours and Robert's."
Jake looked at Robert and grinned, "All we now need are the premises".
Jason said that if everyone was happy with what they'd discussed then he'd go and speak to the agent. Ryan offered to make some more coffee and Robert said he'd help.
Ten minutes later, Jason came into the kitchen where the others were now seated drinking their coffee. They all turned and looked at him with anticipation.
"You now have a café to set up guys and Robert has a new flat"
There were cheers from all of them and they all gathered round Jason and hugged him and kissed him and shook his hand.
"Thank you so much Jason; you've no idea how happy this makes Jake and me; we've dreamt of running our own café for so long but it never seemed possible" Robert exclaimed.
Jason in his usual way played down what he was doing for the guys but secretly he was pleased to be able to help them.
"I think this deserves celebrating so I'm going to take you guys out for a meal tonight but first we will crack open a bottle of champagne" Jason announced, and then added "I feel like a soak in the hot tub; who'd like to join me?"
The other guys all said they'd love to so Ryan agreed to get the champagne whilst the others got stripped and into the hot tub. Jason was especially please because he was itching to get Robert undressed!
They all trooped into the main bedroom, stripped off and went out to the hot tub. As Jason had imagined, Robert had a gorgeous body with a big cock and large balls that hung down between his legs. He made sure that he sat next to him in the tub!
Ryan then appeared stark naked carrying the champagne and five glasses. Jason opened the bottle and it popped with a loud 'pop' like all good champagne should do. Having filled five glasses they all held them up and toasted 'Café RJ'.
They finished off the champagne as they giggled and chatted about the new venture. Robert still couldn't believe it was really happening and kept asking Jason to confirm that he wasn't dreaming it all. Jason grasped Robert's bollocks and squeezed them.
"Can you feel that?"
"Yeah, I fucking can man" Robert giggled.
"In that case you're not dreaming" Jason laughed and kissed Robert on the cheek.
Jake then leant towards him and gave him a squeeze and a kiss as well.
"Here's to us, fellow café owner" Jake laughed lifting his glass to Robert.
This caused the others to do the same and for Ajay and Ryan to have their feel and a kiss as well. By the time they were ready to get out of the warm water they'd all kissed and groped each other. They were a happy band of bunnies and Jason loved it.
