Zak Traveling
I had finished up my education in Computers and well with the costs of health care I took a job installing computer systems for Dental offices. I didn't travel all that much and mostly I did phone support from my home office.
My partner was a VP with the bank and he's the best of the best.
Adam my kid brother has a daughter with his girl Susie and they talk about getting married.
Vince and I sometimes invite a third to play and we are mostly relaxed about fun when we travel.
I work the southern east coast mostly.
So I get an email telling me to be in Virginia Beach next Tuesday to set up a system.
I called the practice and the nice lady said they were busy but were expecting me and it would be fine.
I asked about hotels and she directed me to a local spot walking distance or the Marriott. She knew the owners of the Local spot and was sure if they had a room it would be nice.
I message Vince about going to the beach for the weekend and he messaged back that he was committed to a golf event for the weekend . That it was on the calendar . He says go down for a few days and have fun.
So I leave Sunday morning and drive to Va Beach. I get to the Motel and it's an oldie. Rooms nice, good internet and the owners are nice. My rooms as far away from the office as one could ask and on the ground floor.
It's not busy and it's cool but beautiful. The nice old lady owner says to me come to the office if you need anything.
I walked the boardwalk and grabbed a hot dog for lunch / dinner. I got back and talked to Vince the weekend event was done and his team came in third.
I did some work looked on Grindr and messaged with a few guys. I looked on Squirt for hookup spots but doubted I could get on base.
I walked to the office and there was a younger guy in there with a wry smile and a badly receding hairline.
Where's a coffee shop I ask?
He smiles says a half block that a way . He half smiles and says cream and agave for me just tell them a Jake special.
I walk to the coffee shop and the barista is a slim boy with a nose ring. A baseball cap catches most of his hair. A name tag says Billy.
I order mine and a Jake Special. He cuts his eyes at me and says so you are staying at the Reef? I nod smiling unsure if he's just a hipster or a gay hipster.
He has nicotine stains on his left hand.
Room 114 on the ground floor. He cants his head towards me and smiles . That's the only room where the office can't see the door. Interesting tid bit I say to him. The old folks there don't much like rowdy folks and well when you live here you learn things.
He hands me my coffees and when he makes my change his fingers drag along my hand .
He leans toward me and whispers watch out for Jake he's nasty. Then he says we close at 9 .
I tap my phone and open the dialed turn it and set it in front of him. He taps his number in.
Several folks come in so I head out but text his phone. He pulls it out looks at me and smiles.
I drop off the Jake special and he says thanks . He says not so subtly that he can leave the office after like ten if I need anything to make my stay better to let him know.
I thank him but don't offer any encouragement. I walk to my room thinking he is more a Norman Bates type than a Jake .
My phone buzzes and it's Adam. We chit chat about nothing and he says to hurry home. I call Vince and tell him about Norman aka Jake and that if I end up dead to go after him. They I tell him about Billy and he asks if I'm gonna hook up with him. I'm not sure it's his thing really and all . He can come over and talk if he wants . He said Jake is nasty. What do you think that means I ask.
Vince says just keep your distance from him or I'm gonna have to come get him straight. He mentions that Adam called and seemed edgy. I said yea, somethings up . Vince says maybe he just needs to stay over for a few days. I say call him he cuddles great and he's probably in need of some security.
We talk about a new house we were buying as a rental and said our smooch smooch kiss kiss.
I walked to the sub shop and got a hot Italian and some beers .
I walked down the backside of the motel and it was out of view of the office but not the cameras.
My phone buzzed and it was Billy, what's up?
Not much!
Want some company?
Sure
Want me to bring you a coffee ?
I'm drinking a beer
Bought a six pack
Nice
Come on then
I'm here he texts
I open the door and he's standing there with a hoodie pulled up over his hat.
He slips in and I close the door. Want a beer or some Sub ?
He grabs a beer and whips out a knife and cuts the sub half in half . Two uncomfortable chairs and a wobbly table.
He eats and drinks two beers. He says I'm gonna walk outside and smoke if thats ok with you.
He puts his hoodie on and flips it up over his head and he says won't be but a minute. What are you smoking I ask? Camels he says I don't got no weed.
I grab my little bag and we go out together . We go on the beach in a shadow and we smoke.
He says man you get some good stuff.
We go back in the room and I kick off my shoes and pull off my socks .
Make yourself comfortable Billy. Dude can I take a shower? All we have is a bathtub where I stay and no hot water. I get him some of my shampoo and body wash. He takes off the hat and his ruddy brown hair cascades from it. He tugs off his shirt and I get a whiff and he's pretty ripe.
Want me to wash your back I say offhandedly.
Sure he says with his head tilted and a lopsided grin. He slips off his pants and boxers then his socks. Slim no fat muscular. His toes were long and his nails were unkempt. I slipped out of my clothes and we got into the dated shower tub.
I took shampoo and washed his hair but he had to dig through the tangles.
I put conditioner in his hair .
Then I got a washcloth and body wash and scrubbed his back. He wasn't six foot but close. I set the wash cloth down when I washed his pert tight ass. He shifted and allowed me more access to his ass. I rubbed his pucker and he said easy there big boy.
He turned and looked at me and said bruh please don't take this the wrong way but I generally get paid for this .
I'm guessing the look on my face said it all. This was after all my first "rent boi" ever.
I stepped out of the shower and said enjoy the shower and take as long as you want.
I dried off and slipped on some sweats .
It was a while and the steam was creeping out of the bathroom when he came out in a towel. He drug his fingers through his mop of hair .
Man I'm sorry I know I should have said something sooner. I sat with my legs tucked up tight in the chair and nodded.
You probably should go I said.
I felt taken advantage of and I wasn't pleased.
He dropped his towel and slipped his clothes on.
Thanks for the food and shower he said . I'm sorry I didn't do this well at all.
He grabbed up his backpack and said can I have a beer ? Take them was my reply.
He left and I locked the door. I called Vince and told him what happened. He listened patiently and then in his calm masculine voice said why don't you check out in the morning and go to the Marriott. Focus on the job to do and just move forward.
He said that Adam was coming over that Susie was at her parents the baby was sick and he was alone.
We said our good nights again and I called Adam. He seemed calm and told me he was going to crash with Vince.
I had settled under the covers and was watching tv and a shadow passed by the window. Then it passed again . I turned off all the lights and peeked through the door viewer.
It was the guy from the front desk. I called the Marriott and checked on and got a room. I packed up my things and headed to my car.
Jake said is everything ok? Just fine was my reply I handed him my room key and said I'm checking out I will pay for tonight but that's it.
He looked at me slack jawed and nodded.
I drove the extra block to the Marriott.
My ringing phone woke me up ! It was Vince and it was morning. I explained that I moved to the Marriott last night and why.
I got up and showered up and went out to a pancake place.
The project went really well as the office managers daughter came in afternoons and she helped me. Really knowledgeable and worked hard. Our tech guys had actually gotten this one just about perfect and the staff picked up the user part really well.
I would be able to head home Thursday easily.
The manager and her daughter and I went to dinner with one of the Dentists . It was at dinner that I extended a offer to Julie when she graduated .
My phone buzzed and I saw Julie look at the number . Then she looked at me and furrowed her brow. I casually turned over my phone paid the check and we all said our good nights.
I drove to the hotel and stopped in the bar for a vodka martini. I sent a reply text. It was Billy. He'd sent a long message that he was sorry for being an asshole. That if I wanted he'd swing by when the coffee shop closed.
My response was I'm not at the Reef . My phone buzzed as soon as I sent with three ???
I knew the coffee shop was closed so I called Billy. There were only a few business travelers in the bar here. I was in a booth away from most .
He answered and said hey Zak and went to apologizing again.
It's ok Billy I said , I am fine and no harm done. He said can I come take a shower?
That's not really a good idea is it ? Then I said sure I'm in the bar at the Marriott oceanfront a block down from the reef. What room he says ? I'm in the bar meet me there.
A few minutes later he slips in my booth looking concerned. I smiled and said relax .
He said they don't much like us locals hanging out . The bartender gave me a look and I asked for my check.
He walked over and I handed him a credit card and said I met Billy at the coffee shop and invited him up for a drink but sadly he's not old enough to drink so we will go on about our evening I'm sure Billy has things to do.
Billy glared at me when he walked off with my card.
I said go to the men's room then come to the ninth floor. End of the hall 939.
He showered and came out in a towel looking sheepishly at me. If you wanna do some stuff I'm down with it.
I smiled and said that ships sailed Billy . I let you shower because I felt bad for your situation. I wish you the best with everything but now it's time for you to leave.
I locked the door after he left sighed and felt relieved. I'd done the best I could by him and that was that.
I got a text that said thanks for letting me get cleaned up. I really wanted to mess around !
I didn't reply to him.
The last day took longer than I expected and when the daughter arrived she kept giving me the stink eye.
Finally I said ok what's up? She said that boy Billy is bad news all the way .
I smiled and said I won't argue that one bit. He seemed nice at the coffee shop but he's just a hustler I said. She knew I was gay and she was only worried that I'd get taken by him. Truth be told he could have easily robbed me or worse .
She asked if I was serious about working for my company and I said well get your computer science degree first .
I had checked out of the Marriott and was going home.
We finished up about six and I did some drive through food and hit the road.
I pulled into the driveway and no cars were there .
I try to tell real life things and stories. You don't always win.
Thanks for reading !
Cheers
