I was finishing up my report about the last project that our team has
just completed. I have to admit, I was glad and... relieved, to say the
least... that it was finally done and yes, it was successful. Based on
the reactions of my co-workers, our boss, and the big bosses after they'd
seen our presentation, I am thinking that we might be getting a good
bonus.
I saved the report in my computer and in a disk, for back up. I was
thinking of printing a copy but my co-worker who's also my friend
interrupted me.
"Hey Eric, there you are. I was using the spectrophotometer and not
getting good results."
I looked back to see Cyril wearing his lab coat and looked a little
stressed. We've been friends since I started working in this company as a
Sr. Research Coordinator. Cyril is also in the same department as I am,
working as a Research Associate. He is 26 and I am just a year older than
him.
"Maybe, the problem is your sample and not the instrument." I replied
with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah, would you just take a look at it?"  He groaned. I figured
that he's in a hurry so I just said "Sure" and just laugh a little. We
walked to the lab where he was working and found out that we just need to
recalibrate the instrument. I left him there and said that I still have
something important that I need to do.
As I am walking back to my cubicle, I remember that I have to pick up
some old lab books and folders from the stock room where we're keeping
the old files. I opened the door and see that Lee, our Facilities
Supervisor is on a ladder checking something inside the ceiling. His head
and upper body was actually not visible to me. I observed him and noticed
that he really has the cutest butt I've ever seen. He has a little beer
belly, but, for a man of his age, I think late forties, he is still quite
a hunk. He probably didn't hear me entering the room so I thought I
would continue to check him out. The door automatically closes anyway.
He has the perfect thigh, nice bulge in front, and again that rear that I
always admire and check whenever I have the chance. After a short while,
I noticed that he started moving his feet to get down the ladder. I
pretended to look busy and start looking for something in the cabinet
that was closest to me. I don't want him to see me observing him that
way. I am not out yet; although I have a feeling that some of my
co-workers, including Lee, know that I am gay. But, since I've always
keep that to myself nobody dared to ask me. Cyril was the only one able
to confirm the truth about me. I guess being gay himself gives him the
vibes. He said, even with my good straight acting abilities he knows the
truth. And unlike me, he is very open about who he really is.
Lee continues to get down the ladder and when he saw me he greeted me
right away with a smile. "Hi there, Eric. How are you doing?" His smile
always reminds me of Bruce Boxleitner. He really looks like him. Those
broad shoulders, nice hips, and did I mention that butt yet. He stands
probably around 6'3". He's a tower compare to my height of 5'6". I
blamed my Asian ancestors for that.
"Good, thanks," I answered him back.
"What are you looking for?" he asked.
"Ahh, some old lab books."  I replied.
"Oh, we're keeping them in this other cabinet" he said and he walked
to the cabinet that is close to the corner of the room. He opened the
cabinet and sure enough they were all there. Of course I know that, I
just pretended that I didn't. I walked towards him and started looking
for the ones that I need. He stayed close to me and looking at the books
I'm taking. I took the folders that I need first and put them on my left
arm. I used my right hand to look for the books. I realized that they
were all on the very top shelf. The problem is, there were also other
books that were on top the ones that I need, not to mention the dust. I
tried to pull it out without lifting the other books but it didn't work,
the ones on top fell. Lee tried to catch all of them but there were just
too many. He was able to catch 3 or 4 with his two hands and the others
fell on the floor.
"Oh man, these things are so dusty." Lee commented and then looked at
his shirt and pants. He is wearing a blue printed polo shirt and fitted
jeans. There were some dust on his shirt and pants. I felt so guilty that
he gotten dirty because of me so I put the folders and book on the floor
and started wiping the dust off his shirt and pants! I didn't even
realize what I was doing at first until I got pretty close to his crotch
area. I stopped and looked at him. He was still holding the books while
looking at me with that teasing smile. My face must have turned so red. I
looked away and tried to pick up the folders and book. I noticed that my
hands are shaking a little.
"You missed a spot." I heard him say. I looked at him and saw him
looking at his pant's crotch area. There is a big mark of dust on it. I
looked at the ground again and can't help but smile at the situation
I'm into. "Don't tempt me." I was thinking and telling myself.
I stood up with a shy smile and apologize for what happened. "No need
to, it was an accident and you were just trying to take the dust off of
me."  His smile becomes wider.
I shake my head a little and smile too. "Here let me put those back on
the shelf." I put the folders and book I am carrying on the table, and
took the ones he has and put them back on the shelf. He started wiping
the dust off of him.
"Thanks for helping me, Lee." I said after closing the cabinet. I
looked at him. He's done cleaning himself and still has that smile.
"Just thanks, no free lunch?" he asked smiling
I was checking him if he was serious. I'm not sure if he is, so I
answered "Well, a little too late for that, it's almost 3PM. How about
dinner?" I joked back
"That's even better. But let's have it on Friday night, I have some
errands that I need to do tonight and tomorrow after work." he said.
I'm smiling but also looked puzzled at the same time. "OK, dinner on
Friday, it is." I waved goodbye.
He waved back and said, "See you, Eric."
I walked back to my cubicle thinking of everything that had happened in
the stock room. "Do I really have a dinner date on Friday?" I asked
myself. And then I remember something, he asked me to have lunch with him
before. But I thought he was just teasing so I dismissed it and never
really give him any answer. I think it was his way of saying thanks,
after I took care of the building equipments deliveries. He was supposed
to be there to handle it, but had to left work in a hurry that day
because of a family emergency. Not that I'm the alternate person, I just
happened to be in the delivery area looking for the materials that I
expect to be delivered that morning. I called the receiving department
before but was informed that they were short handed so they won't be
able to deliver until in the afternoon. I decided to just go there and
pick it up myself. Sure enough nobody was around when I got there, so I
searched in the pile of boxes that were still in the "to be processed"
area. And that's when the deliveries of equipment arrived. Since I was
the only person there I have no choice but to talk to the driver. I
don't want to leave the equipments outside so I asked the driver if he
could set them up in the new lab. Drivers wouldn't usually do it but I
was able to convince him after I casually handed him a fifty-dollar bill
and said, "For lunch, I know that you and your friend could use a
break." He smiled and said thank you. He added that that it was a good
thing that he's training his friend so someone could help him. I know
what he meant; with my size it would be impossible for just him and me to
move the three equipments. I am not always that generous in giving tips,
only when really needed.
I saw Cyril on his desk looking at probably the results of his tests. His
cubicle is just right next to mine. I stopped by and said "Guess what, I
have a dinner date on Friday."
"Really, with who?" he asked with curiosity. He knows that I don't go
out that much, OK at all since I have never been in a relationship.
I didn't answer but just continue walking to my desk and start working
on my computer.
I saw him stand up and walk toward where my desk is.
"Who is it?" he persistently asked again. "Who, who, who!"
I looked at him and smiled. "It's Lee."
"What! Are you crazy? He's straight, not to mention the age difference
and the fact that he's MARRIED."  He said it in a whisper like but put
more stress on the word married. "Look, I know you have a big crush on
him but you have to choose a man who doesn't have someone who might hunt
you afterwards." He shook his head; "I don't know what you see in him
he's much older for you."
I smiled at him. Cyril really knows me. I know him too; I know that he
likes someone his age maybe a year or two younger. He said that he wanted
to grow old with his special someone at the same time. Me, I prefer
someone who is older than me; 5 years, 10 years would be better. I'm not
really sure why, maybe subconsciously, I was thinking that I want someone
who would really take care of me, someone who will watch over me.
I noticed that Cyril is waiting for my response, so I said, "It is just
a friendly date. Don't put any malice into it. It's like when two guys
go to a sports bar to have a drink while watching baseball."
That comment made him smile.
"How the heck did you know that guys do that?"
"Go back to work." I answered
He still wants an answer so I just waved my hand without looking at him.
When he realized that he's not going to get an answer he walks back to
his desk but not after saying "Just give me the details, on Monday."
After hearing that, I felt some anticipation inside.
