EIGHTH

Jaume exercised a careful control on his sentiments. In the beginning
was not too easy, because he was inclined to feel attracted to more than
one of his clients, as soon as he felt some tenderness, some affection.
And then he instinctively fancied he might have found his "prince
charming". But he had resolutely decided he could no longer believe in
that.

Love, admittedly it existed, was a luxury that he couldn't afford. It
was an illusion he couldn't try to face. It was a fairy tale in which he
had to stop believing.

So, as soon as he felt that some of his encounters could change into
something more than simple paid physical intercourse, he kept it under
control.  He limited it, at times he even interrupted it. Frequently,
his choice made him feel tense, bitter, unhappy. But more often he felt
free, master of the situation, safe.

He started again to take care of his body, his aspect, his culture. He
wanted to be the best in Sitges' market, and he was so. All the other
boys who hustled, little by little recognized that, and so Jaume was
more and more admired and respected by them. And this was also for his
character. Often, he helped the other boys when they were in
difficulties. And he did so, not only because he knew that he did not
have to fear any competition, but also, and mainly, because Jaume had a
good and generous heart.

Some times Jaume made love with some of his colleagues, especially with
some of the new boys that, each year, appeared on the colorful and
lively scene of Sitges. And to the newcomers, he willingly lavished
precious advises. About his clients, it was always and only him to
choose them, and his price could be really high or absurdly low,
following the way he valued the client. But normally they were rather
high.

Over the years, because of his character, his attention to details, and
his experience, he began to understand, quite by instinct, what his
clients expected from him, beyond their verbal communication, and he
gave that to his clients. Everybody, even the first time they had sex
with him, was enthusiast about him. The only things he refused were
S-and-M intercourse, fist fucking, watersports and bondage, be it in the
active or passive role. All that revolted him, both physically and
psychologically, because after all, in spite of everything he tried to
have a relationship, not cynical but at least detached with his clients.
 He was and remained basically a romantic. In sexual intercourse he
always looked, at least, for a background of sweetness. But above all of
mutual respect.

1984 came and his twenty fourth birthday. He held a party at his home,
where he invited Miguel, Juan and Pablito, one of his hustler friends. 
A boy of seventeen, just arrived in Sitges, that he helped to take the
first steps and to settle down.

He met Pablito the very first evening the boy arrived in Sitges. Jaume,
that evening, was strolling, a little after midnight, along the beach.
That evening he didn't feel like looking for a client. It was only a
short time since Patrick left him, and he was still feeling sad. His
hands in his pockets, he walked barely touching the water line, his eyes
lost in the darkness of the sea. That velvety blackness from where came
faint warm gusts and a rhythmic, muffled sound, like of a deep
breathing, fascinated Jaume. The eternal breath of the sea... he
thought, enchanted. He felt lowering on him a great peace that little by
little seemed to soothe the dull pain that was nested in the bottom of
his heart.

He stopped.

At that point he saw a shadow coming towards him. The silhouette, the
gait, made Jaume think that it had to be a boy, young and well shaped.
Remaining still, he looked at the boy drawing nearer. Little by little
he could catch the details of his figure. When the boy arrived near him,
their eyes crossed, then the boy, rather ashamedly, asked:

"Do you have a cigarette?"

Jaume answered with a smile and offered him one. Then he lit it and the
boy put his hand lightly on Jaume's hand, almost as if he wanted to
guide the lighter in the right position. Jaume felt that the boy's hand
was slightly trembling. Their eyes met again, and Jaume smiled.

Then the boy said: "I am Pablo. And you?"

"Jaume."

"Jaume? Then a Catalan."

"Yes. And you are a Castilian, instead."

"Yes. You Catalans hate us Castilians, right?"

"At times. But I feel it would be difficult to hate you."

"Do you think? And why?"

"Because you are handsome, but above all, because you have a nice
smile."

"Thank you. You really are beautiful. But, not always someone who is
beautiful is also a respectable guy."

"You aren't?"

"I hope I am. So you live here? What is your work?"

"Yes, I live here. In day time I work as a waiter, and at night I
hustle."

"A hustler? And you admit it?"

"Sure. Are you scandalized?"

"No... no no! I too at times hustle... I came here to Sitges because
I've heard that here it is easy, there are many tourists full of desire
and money... is it so?"

"Just arrived?"

"Yes, this afternoon."

"Did you find some johns, today?"

"Not yet. I hoped you could be my first john, but..."

"Here on the beach you can pick up little or nothing. You have to go to
the clubs. Do you know them?"

"No, and then, I have no money. I'm really flat broke."

"Just come with me, okay? It's all on me, of course."

"Really? All right, thank you."

Jaume made Pablito tour Sitges' clubs and introduced him to the owners,
managers and to the personnel as his friend. It was one in the morning
when Jaume decided to go back home. So, he asked Pablito:

"I bet you still don't have a place to sleep."

"Right..."

"Well, tonight you can sleep at my place. Tomorrow I will take you to a
very cheap boarding house, where all the boarders are hustlers. So
you'll make friends, and it will be easier for you to enter the circle.
Are you coming?"

"Thank you. Do you live far from here?"

"No, just two blocks."

"Alone?"

"Sure."

"Do you have two beds, or..."

"Yes, I have two beds, both very wide. If you like, you can sleep
alone."

"Or?"

"With me, if you prefer."

"But you? What would you like?"

"With you, possibly. I like you, in spite your being Castilian." Jaume
said jokingly.

The boy cheerfully answered: "I too like you, in spite your being
Catalan. I think it will be better to sleep in the same bed, then."

At home, Pablito asked if he could shower. Then reached Jaume in his
bed, and they made love until about 3 a.m. Jaume liked the boy's
freshness and made love with him in pleasurable abandon, taking his
small firm ass, and making Pablito take him. Jaume, little by little
took the boy to the maximum pleasure. Pablito was overwhelmed by the
emotion, after the long, sweeping intercourse.

"Fucking goodness! If you are that way also with your johns, they would
all come back to you, after the first time. You are a bomb! I never made
love so good, until now!"

Jaume smiled at him and ruffled his hair: "No, I'm only that way with
those I want to see again."

"So, do you want to see me again?"

"We will be both too busy with our clients, I'm afraid... and I hope. It
is rather rare we hustlers make love among ourselves, do you know?"

"Yes, I see. But... any time you feel like it, just whistle, and I'll
let go everything and everybody and rush here! I like you really a lot,
do you know?"

"I too like you. We can possibly meet again... in bed, I mean. But you
have first to settle yourself. You can earn lot of money, but it ends
also very fast. Let's sleep, now, at 9 I have to wake up to go to work."

In the afternoon Jaume took Pablito to Mama Pata's boarding house, and
the woman put the boy in one room with three other boys about his age.
Jaume lent him the money to pay one week in advance. After that day they
met several times. Pablito gave him back his money and wanted also to
give him a gift, to express his gratitude. Jaume was lavishing advises
on the boy, and Pablito blindly followed them. And a couple of times,
they also made love.

During the party, Miguel seemed to have eyes only for Pablito - he was
evidently entranced by the boy. Pablito reacted to the young man's
courting with a coquettish attitude - it was clear that he appreciated
it.

After a while, Jaume called the boy into the kitchen under the pretext
that he needed help, and told him: "If you want, you can take Miguel
into the room of mirrors."

"Doesn't it bother you?"

"Not at all. You both are my friends, and if you'd like to share
intimacy for a while... But, don't ask money from Miguel, he is a dear
friend."

Pablito seemed hurt: "Of course not, who do you think I am?"

"OK, sorry. It is just that Miguel is important to me."

"You did it with him?"

"Sure, many times."

"What does he like to do? If you tell me, I'll try to make him happy..."

"Discover it by yourself. It is more pleasing that way, isn't it?"

They went in the foyer with the ice creams. After the four finished
eating it, Pablito stood up and went to whisper something in Miguel's
ear. The young man looked at Jaume with interrogative eyes and Jaume
made a light assenting nod and smiled. Then Miguel stood up and, in
silence, surrounded Pablito's waist with his arm and took him into the
room of mirrors. They heard the lock click.

Juan looked at Jaume, smiled, then whispered: "All evening, Miguel
undressed your friend with his eyes. And finally he is undressing him
for real."

Jaume nodded with a smile, then said: "Is it OK if I put on some
symphonic music?"

"Certainly, it's all right. Are you thinking of a musical background for
them?"

"Yes, the soundtrack. Even if, knowing them both, rock and roll would
probably be better."

"And... for us, what would be suitable?" Juan asked, with a warm voice.

Jaume smiled: "Symphonic music, precisely. Do you want to come with me?"

"Yes. I was about to ask you. You are the only one man with which I can
make love, do you know? Or rather, with which I desire to make love. And
you are the only one with which I did it."

"Yes, I know. And yet I cannot understand why. You like girls, and I'm
not at all girlish..."

"Right, on the contrary, you are really manly, gentle and virile at the
same time."

"Other men are so. Miguel, for instance, and also Pablito."

"Sure, and yet I don't think I could, with them. I mean... I am sure
they could make me enjoy.... but I would feel not at ease, I am not
attracted to them, the thought of making love with them doesn't arouse
me. On the contrary you... I desire you. Also when you penetrate me,
nowadays, I feel... right. If I did the same things with another male,
on the contrary, I would feel... it's faggot. But not with you. Isn't it
weird? Funny? I must have some screws loose..."

"Yes, indeed! But, when you fuck with a girl, do you ever fancy a male?"

"Of course not. I enjoy that girl."

"And when you do it with me?"

"Well, then I think about you and enjoy you. And now I want you. Feel
here how hard it is!"

"When you do it with me, you never thing about a girl?"

"How could I, with your tool pistoning between my buttocks?"

"Well, but when it is you to take me?"

"Neither. I like touching, looking and feeling you so manly! It is a
different thing, do you see? I like making you enjoy, and watching you
enjoy. And I like the way you make me enjoy. With you, I feel all
right."

"Yes, I know, and yet am not able to understand. If you were a bisexual,
you would feel the same also with other males..."

"No, I would be terribly ashamed. With you it is different. We know each
other so deeply. You have been the first and only male of my life. In
front of you, I like to undress, I like the way you look at me, you
touch me. I like to look at you, to touch you. With another male I would
really be ashamed."

They went to Jaume's bed room and they started to make love. Juan in bed
was more and more uninhibited and more and more skilled. And had for
Jaume a sweet tenderness.

In the morning they were woke up by Pablito who brought them a coffee in
bed. After showering and dressing, the four friends met in the kitchen
for breakfast. Then Miguel and Juan said good bye and went back to
Barcelona. Pablito went out with Jaume and saw him to La Brasa.

"I like your friend Miguel. He is a right guy."

"All my friends are right guys."

"Me too?"

"Sure. You are my friend, therefore..."

"It's great being your friend. The boys, at the clubs, only have good
words about you. Even the most venomous or gossipy ones, I never heard
them make a bad remark about you. I think you are the most esteemed boy
in all Sitges."

"So much the better. I am lucky."

"No, I don't think it's luck. The fact is that you are kind with
everybody, you have the right word for anybody, you are ready for
whoever needs help, advise, support. You are a right man."

"But no, I'm just... me. I also fight who makes me mad."

"Yes, Xavier told me that once you gave him a good thrashing."

"Did he tell you also the reason?"

"Yes. And I told him that you did right to beat him. And he answered
that it was so."

"Poor Xavier... But I think it was good for him..."

"I too feel so. You, here in Sitges, are a kind of leader, I
discovered."

"Me? Go on! I never give orders to any body, do I?"

"No, it's true. But when you say something, it is that way. Everybody
listen to you. Marcel says that you are the king of Sitges."

Jaume smiled and shook his head. They were now in front of La Brasa,
they said good bye. Pablito went to make some purchases, then to the
Reflejos to see if any colleagues were there, in spite of the fact it
was early. Here he met Carlos and Jorje. Sat at their table and chatted
with them.

Carlos was saying that he had found an empty flat behind the station:
"It's nice. If four of us rent, we can afford it. There are two
bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and a bathroom. We can sleep all four
in one room and keep the other bedroom and the living room to receive
our clients who don't have their place. We can take turns dividing the
house chores. What do you think?"

"I would like it, you know it. And you, Pablito?"

"Well, yes... but who would be the fourth?"

"We can ask to Marcel, he is a good boy." Jorje said.

"Yes, but he is not too clean... I wouldn't like to have to clean also
his place..." Carlos objected.

"Esteban, then?"

"No, not him. I never could get on well with him. Or him with me."
Pablito said.

"Then I prefer you, Pablito. Who can we ask, then?"

"Tony?"

"Tony? Well, could be OK..."

"No, not Tony, I don't trust him. I am not sure, but they say that when
he can lay hands..."

"What's up, Jorje, are you afraid he can try to take you?"

"No, not me, I wish he would! But the clients wallet. I don't want to
risk having the police searching our home." Jorje objected.

The other two boys laughed but nodded yes. They continued to talk. While
they were still discussing the fourth boy, the door opened and a boy
entered. The three friends stopped talking at once and looked at him,
fascinated. And not just them, but several other clients of the
Reflejos.

He looked around 18, slender, tall, his body wrapped in a lilac T shirt
and jeans of the same color, tight, emphasizing an athletic and well
proportioned body. His head was surrounded by an aureole made of a thick
helmet of blond curls, with the warm nuance of ancient gold. His eyes, a
light blue - violet, like a sky of late Spring, scanned the club and,
noticed the many eyes staring at him, lowered and the boy lightly,
charmingly blushed. He went to the counter and, with a low warm voice,
asked a beer.

"Fucking heavens! So then, angels really exists" Carlos whispered
expressing everybody's thoughts.

"It seems so. Even if the basket filling his fly doesn't seem so
spiritual. He must have a good 8 inches at least, I could bet!" Jorje
exclaimed.

"Do you think only about that?" Carlos asked giggling.

"Why, don't you? Wouldn't you like to fuck with that angel?" Pablito
asked.

"No, he is my age! You know that I only like mature men, don't you? From
35 on." Jorje answered.

"Well, me too, from 25 on... But with him I would be ready to do it
immediately, right here. He really seems the Prince Charming of fairy
tales!" Pablito said, then added "Rather, do you know what I tell you?
I'll try."

"But possibly he is not gay, and even if he is, perhaps he doesn't like
hustlers. He really doesn't need to pay, one like him..." Carlos said.

Pablito stood up: "Anyway, I'll try, and I'll even do it for free, if it
is the case. Bye, handsome!" And went to the counter, sitting on the
stool near the newcomer. "Hello, I am Pablo. Are you foreign?" he said
with his best smile to the boy, holding out his hand.

The boy looked at him, at first hesitant, then returning the smile,
shook hands with Pablito and, in broken Spanish said: "Good morning. I
am Kiril. I am Ukrainian. Do you speak English?"

"No, and neither Ukrainish. But you speak Spanish, don't you?"

"Little little. Can I offer you drink?"

"Thank you, beer for me too."
