Michael and Chance
The Series
By
Michael T. Freeman
Previously:
"Well, good night!" I said as I leaned in to kissed him good night. Damn
his lips tasted so good. After a long passionate kissed, Chance got out of
the car and waved me good-bye as I drove away.
I quickly got home and stripped down to my boxer shorts and hopped into
bed. It had been a long day, and my body was ready for bed. I quickly
dozed off as dreamy vision of Chance danced in my head.
Chapter 9:
Chance's head was spinning as he walked up to the door of his apartment.
He felt like he was on Cloud Nine. He just had the best date of his life!
Chance placed his right hand over his heart as he closed his eyes and
thought of Michael and tonight date. He let out a long, deep sigh of
elation and satisfaction as he fumbled for his keys and opened the
apartment door. As Chance entered the apartment, he heard grunting and
moaning noises coming from Dade's room. Chance smiled and shook his head
as he took off his shoes, realizing that Dade has company over again.
Chance quietly made his way to the hallway bathroom, stripped down and
hopped into the shower. In less than15 minutes, he stepped out, fully
refreshed and ready for bed.
As Chance entered the living room with just a white cotton towel draped
around his slender, defined waist, he could hear that Dade and his guest
were still at it like rabbits. God, can they grunt and moan any louder,
Chance thought to himself as he went into his room and closed the door. He
quickly put on a pair of cotton boxer shorts and hopped into bed. What a
night, Chance thought as he closed his eyes and tried to sleep, but to no
avail. Chance couldn't seem to fall asleep as visions of Michael and the
date played back on the movie screen of his mind. Chance smiled to himself
as these images flash back, warming his heart and soul. But after about
half an hour of tossing and turning, Chance was getting irritated. To
compound his sleepless situation was Dade and his bed companion's very loud
and pronounced, orgasmic exultation. But fatigue soon set in as Chance's
body slowly succumbed to sleep.
Chance woke up late the following morning. It was around 11 o'clock when
he finally rolled out of bed and stumbled out to the hallway bathroom.
Dade was in the living room, eating his morning cereal, and watching reruns
of "Friends."
"Hey, morning, guy!" Dade greeted his roommate with a big grin. "You're
up late today!"
"Well, I had problems sleeping last night," Chance said matter-of-factly
and smiled as he continued, "because someone was having a fuck fest and
made so much God damn noise that I thought the roof would cave in!" Chance
smiled wickedly at Dade.
Dade started to laugh. "I'm so sorry, dude! Didn't realized that we were
making so much noise!" Dade gave Chance his innocent look.
"You know, I think we should sound proof your bedroom or something, God
knows, you get more action than a porn star!" Chance remarked jokingly.
Dade busted out laughing.
"Who were you with last night?" Chance as curiously.
"Oh, with this cute guy I met at a party last night," Dade replied
nonchalantly as he continued to munch on his cereal.
"So are you going to see him again?"
"Maybe, I don't know." Dade replied casually as he turned his attention
back to the TV.
Chance went into the bathroom and immediately emptied his full bladder. He
quickly brushed his teeth and splashed cold water on his face to wake
himself up. When he came out, Dade was in the kitchen, busy washing his
dishes. He looked so studly standing there in front of the kitchen sink,
half-naked with nothing on but a pair of shorts and a silver medallion on a
purple satin string, dangling around his neck at heart level as he wrapped
up his domestic chore. Dade finished rinsing the last glass and turned to
face Chance with his sexy, warm smile.
"So how was your date last night with Michael?" Dade asked curiously.
"It was great, Dade!" Chance replied excitedly as he poured milk into his
bowl of cereal. "We had a great time! We went to see "American Beauty"
and then grabbed some Chinese food afterward. And on our way to the
Chinese restaurant, we saw this homeless man, rummaging through the alley
dumpster for food. And guess what Michael did?" Chance asked Dade eagerly.
"No, way!" Dade replied, anticipating Chance's response.
"Yeah, way. He bought the guy a take-out and gave it to him!"
"Wow, that was very nice of him!" Dade remarked, pleasantly surprised by
Michael's kind gesture.
"Yeah, and when he gave the guy the food, it reminded me of you!" Chance
smiled and looked at Dade. "You're the only other person I know that would
take the time to do that!" Dade smiled sheepishly as he was pleasantly
surprised by the nice compliment.
"Michael sounds like a great guy!" Dade injected.
"Yeah, he seems to be." Chance immediately agreed as he stared reflectively
at Dade's silver medallion. The silver medallion, a bit larger than the
size of a half dollar, glistened as the soft, morning sunlight strikes its
matted finish surface. It seems to rest peacefully against Dade's tanned,
bare skin at heart level. Chance has always seen Dade wearing it, but this
was the first time that he got a good, close-up look at this intriguing
medallion with a hieroglyphic symbol at its center.
"Hey Dade, that's a great medallion you have there!" Chance remarked as he
continued to eat his cereal. "I never see you take it off! Who gave it
to?"
Dade looked down at the silver medallion as he picked it up with his right
hand and rubbed it gently. Dade's face suddenly turned solemn and
reflective. He took a deep breath before answering Chance's questions.
Chance sat up attentively, awaiting Dade's response.
"My mom gave it to me when I was little because I had problems sleeping at
night. I was afraid of the dark. She said that it was a magical shield
that would keep me safe in the darkness, and that I have nothing to be
afraid of." Dade explained as he stared reflectively into the distance.
Suddenly tears started to well up in his eyes as memories of his mom
flooded into his consciousness. It has been almost 10 years since his mom
passed away of cancer, but his heart still aches every time he thinks of
her beautiful face, compassionate touch, and sweet voice. God, he missed
her so much. "And that's why I never take it off. It's a token of her
love and my last link to her. And tomorrow is her anniversary." Dade
finally finished. He could no longer hold back the tears. They streamed
down silently down his beautiful, vulnerable face as he turned away to hide
the tears.
Chance quickly got up and gave Dade a warm, long embrace. "That's
wonderful Dade. She must have loved you very much." Chance tried to
console Dade as he felt the warm tears of his buddy rolled down his
shoulder.
After what seems like an eternity, Dade finally broke the embrace.
"Thanks!" Dade declared with a strained smile as he wiped away his tears
and composed himself.
Chapter 10:
I finally woke up around 10:30 AM. I lay in bed for a while before getting
out of bed. I smiled as images of my date with Chance last night rushed
back into my consciousness. I can still taste his sweet lips and smell the
subtle scent of his Fahrenheit cologne. Ten minutes later, I rolled out of
bed and went into the bathroom to take care of my morning toiletry
necessity. After my morning stretching ritual and a light breakfast of
Odwalla Superfood drink, a couple slices of banana-nut bread and fruits, I
decided to head off to the Rec Hall for a short resistance workout. After
the brief weigh training session, I headed downtown to pick up some fresh
produces from the Saturday Farmer Market before heading home. And all a
while, my mind kept flashing images of Chance's beautiful face which would
immediately bring a smile to my face. When I got home I decided to call
Chance to see if he wants to join me for dinner later this evening.
"Hello!" Chance's sexy voice answered the phone.
"Hi Chance, this is Michael!" I announced into the receiver.
"Hey Michael, what's up?"
"Not much!" I replied. "Just want to let you know that I had a great time
last night!"
"Yeah, me too. It was the best date I had for a long time, so thank you!"
"My pleasure! Listen, I was wondering if you wanted to join me for dinner
later tonight?" I asked.
"Yeah, definitely!" Chance replied excitedly.
"Great! How does going to a steak house sounds to you?" I suggested.
"That's fine with me."
"Great, then I'll swing by and pick you up at around 6:30PM.?" I offered.
"Yeah, that will work!"
"Alright, I'll see you later Chance!"
"Okay bye, Michael!"
"Bye!"
With that we hung up. I still have several hours before dinner time, so I
figured I should make myself useful and get some chores and homework done.
After a couple hours of doing homework, I had enough of school work for one
day. So I decided to take a break and work on the series I'm writing for
the Archive. God, I would never thought in a million years that one day I
would be writing a gay-theme story! And here I am, doing it. It's amazing
how things turn out sometimes! Six o'clock finally rolled around, and it
was time to get ready for dinner. After changing into a pair of black
corduroy pants, and comfortable gray cotton-knit sweater, I was out the
door. I arrived at Chance's place about 15 minutes later and knocked on
his apartment door.
"Hey, Michael!" Chance greeted me with his warm embrace and smile. He
looked great, wearing a purple rayon shirt with black cargo pants.
"Hi!" I smiled backed as we released each other from our embrace. As I
entered the apartment, I could hear the magnificent, soaring sound of
Anggun's "Snow on the Sahara," playing softly in the background.
"Hey Dade, how's it going!" I said as I waved to Dade who was sitting at
the dining table, apparently studying.
"Good, Michael! Just busy cramming for my test next week. And yourself?"
Dade asked as he flashed me his sexy smile.
"Great!" I replied happily and smiled back. "God, I LOVE this song!"
"Oh yeah?" Dade asked excitedly. "You've heard of Anggun?"
"Absolutely!" I replied matter-of-factly. "She's an amazing vocalist, and
"Snow on the Sahara" is definitely one of my all time favorites!"
Dade's eye lit up with excitement as he smiled beamingly at me, apparently
surprised by our common taste of music.
Chance flashed me his beautiful smile and injected, "It's Dade's favorite
too!"
"Well Chance, forget about all the bad things that I've said about him, I
think I'm beginning to like this guy!" Dade said, jokingly as he sported a
broad grin on his face.
"Well, I hope not too much for my sake!" Chance replied jokingly as we all
started to laugh.
"Are you about ready to go?" I asked Chance as I glanced at my watch.
"Yeah, let me grab my wallet and keys!" Chance said as he turned around and
walked to his bedroom.
"Hey Dade, do you want to take a break and join us for dinner?" I asked
casually.
Dade's warm brown eye's lit up, apparently pleasantly surprised by my
invitation.
"Uhm...," Dade paused briefly as he contemplated the invitation, "I don't
want to intrude!"
"Not at all!" I quickly assured him. "Chance and I are just going out for
dinner. It's not a date, so you won't be intruding!"
"Uhm...Dade hesitated for a couple more seconds, still undecided as to
whether he should go or not.
"Come on, Dade, join us for dinner!" Chance urged as he entered the living
room with his wallet and keys.
"Uhm....okay." Dade finally surrendered to our offer. "Where are you guys
going?"
"I was thinking about going to a steak house!" I replied.
"Oh!" Dade's facial expression changed from excitement to disappointment.
"Never mind."
I immediately looked over to Chance with a perplex look.
"Dade is a vegetarian." Chance graciously informed me. "I complete forgot
that we're going to a steak house."
"Oh...then we can go to a vegetarian house instead, if you don't mind
Chance!" I suggested as I made eye contact with Dade and Chance to get
their response.
"No, not at all! Chance immediately retorted as his eyes smiled at me. "I
don't mind eating vegetarian food!"
Dade's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree, apparently stunned by my
suggestion.
"That's very nice of you, Michael, but you don't have to change your dinner
plans because of me!" Dade politely protested.
"No, I don't. But I want to." I smiled sincerely at him. "Besides, I
always enjoy a good vegetarian meal, now and then," I said
matter-of-factly. "So are you going to join us or not!"
Dade smiled. "Ok, thanks!"
"You bet!"
"Which vegetarian house were you think of?" Chance asked as he grabbed his
jacket.
"How about Vegetarian Gourmet?"
"Great choice! It's one of Dade's favorites!" Chance smiled at Dade.
Twenty-five minutes later, we arrived at Vegetarian Gourmet. The place was
packed as usual. We had to wait for about 15 minutes before we were
seated. The restaurant interior was impeccably decorated in warm, pastel
tones and textures with Eastern artifacts and decor on the walls. We were
seated at a small, circular table near the far corner.
"Have you been here before?" Dade asked me with a smile.
"Yeah, a few times!" I replied. "And you, Chance?"
"Yeah, a number of times with Dade." Chance replied matter-of-factly.
"They have excellent food here!"
Dade nodded in agreement as the waiter approached our table with menus.
"Well, hello boys!" the cheerful waiter greeted us as if he knows us.
The young waiter stood about 5'10" with boyish, good looks, dark blond hair
and a nicely toned body. His tranquil blue eyes stared at me before
redirecting them towards my dinner companions. Dade and Chance turned
slightly around to face the cute waiter, and they both had a pleasantly
surprised grin on their faces.
"Hey, Behrd!" they both replied almost at the simultaneously.
"What are you doing here?" Chance asked with a beautiful smile on his cute
face.
"I just got a job here!" Behrd replied grinningly.
"Wow, that's great, Behrd!" Dade exclaimed.
Behrd smiled and shifted his eye contact to me.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Chance exclaimed as he looked at me. "Michael, this is
Behrd. He's our next door neighbor and fellow student at the University.
And Behrd, this my friend, Michael. He's also a student here!"
I stood up and shook his hand firmly. "Nice to meet you!" I said with a
smile.
"Same here!" Behrd smiled back.
"Can I get you guys something to drink as you peruse through the menu?"
Behrd asked as he gave us our menus and whipped out his waiter's writing
pad and a pen.
"Yeah, I'll have the fresh coconut drink." Dade replied.
"And I'll have the Thai iced tea." Chance exclaimed.
"I'll have the same as Dade." I replied with a half smile.
"Ok, I'll be right back with your drinks, and I'll take your order then!"
Behrd graciously announced.
"Thanks!" we said unanimously.
Five minutes later, Behrd came back with our drinks and took down our
respective orders.
We sat and casually chit chat as we waited for our food to arrive.
"So what are you studying Dade?" I asked as looked into his soulful, brown
eyes.
"I'm studying Psychology with a minor in Creative Writing." Dade replied as
he sipped his drink.
"Wow, that's great!" I exclaimed, pleasantly surprised that we had another
interest in common.
Dade smiled. "What about you?"
"I'm studying Creative Writing with a minor in Eastern Philosophy."
"Oh yeah, that's cool!" Dade grinned at me. "What kind of writing do you
do?"
"I write mostly inspirational non-fiction stuff, but I'm currently trying
my hands at fiction to see if I can do it." I replied as I took a sip of my
coconut drink. The coconut drink was excellent with thin slices of
translucent coconut meat.
"Oh yeah, what are you working on?" Dade asked me curiously as he spooned
one of the fresh coconut meat into his mouth.
"I'm currently working on a series for the Nifty Archive." I replied with a
slight smile. "Have you heard of it?"
"Yeah, of course!" Chance finally jumped into the conversation with a big
grin on his face. "I didn't know that you were writing for the Archive!"
"Wow, that's great, Michael. I got to check it out sometimes!" Dade
exclaimed excitedly as Chance nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, that's wonderful Michael!" Chance added as he reached over to touch
my hand under the table. "Dade is too modest to admit this but," Chance
paused and smiled, "he's a great writer!"
Dade gave him the evil's eyes, but it was too late. The cat was out of the
bag.
"Oh, really!" I exclaimed curiously. "What genre do you write, Dade!"
"I dabbled a little with poetry and non-fiction," Dade replied nonchalantly
as he continued to enjoy his drink.
"Well, I would love to read some of your works sometimes!" I retorted
excitedly.
Dade simply smiled. "Sure, anytime!"
We continued to converse, effortlessly flowing from one topic to the next,
getting to know each other more personally when Behrd finally arrived with
our food about 20 minutes later.
"Well, enjoy fellas and let me know if you need anything else!" Behrd
graciously offered with a friendly smile and left us to our vegetarian
meals.
The entrees were beautifully displayed on fine china, and the smell was
quite appetizing. We quickly dug into our food as we continued to enjoy
each other company and started to chat more on personal matters.
During our conversation, I found out much about Dade and his family. He
grew up in Hawaii and attended the same high school as Chance where the two
met and quickly became best friends. Dade became aware of his bisexuality
while in middle school and explored his sexual curiosity beginning his
freshman year in high school. I also found out that he lost his beloved
mom to cancer at the tender age of 12 and his dad to a car accident, caused
by a drunken driver, at the age of 15. His sweet grand-ma raised him
during his remaining minor years before passing away in her sleep a couple
of years ago. The poor guy, my heart goes out to him. When he told me
this, I instinctively reached over and touched his left hand to offer my
condolence. He strained a smile, and Chance didn't seem to mind my
innocent gesture. I could see the silent sadness in his beautiful puppy
eyes, and hear the heartache in his solemn tone as he shared his life story
with me. Dade seemed to be a really sweet and generous guy. I must admit,
a part of me was a bit envious of Chance for having such a great friend.
After dinner, we went to a local ice cream shop for desserts. It was a
beautiful, clear night with a light cool breeze. The full moon shone
radiantly down upon us as we sat and ate our ice creams and continued to
share our personal life stories. This is what life is about I thought to
myself as I slowly savored my whip cream, nut covering sundae: good company
and fantastic hot fudge sundaes with all the works (lol)! Life is too
short for anything less, folks!
Chapter 11:
I woke up the following morning to the obnoxious ringing of my phone. I
glanced at my alarm clock as I lazily picked up the receiver. It was
already after ten.
"Hello!" I mumbled irritatingly into the receiver.
"Hi, Michael, it's Essence!" the soft, sweet voice of a close friend of
mine greeted me. "Sorry to have waken you up."
Essence is Stacy's roommate who has become a really good, close friend of
mine. She is one of the sweetest and kind-hearted persons that I know.
She is absolutely as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, a
wonderful spiritual being. I totally adored her!
"It's okay, Essence." I replied as I rolled back to bed with the receiver
held next to my ear. "What's up?"
"Huh...Stacy and I are planning on going clubbing tonight, and we were
wondering if you would like to join us?" Essence inquired.
"Which club are you going to?"
"Club Oasis!" Essence replied excitedly.
"Sure, that sounds good!" I replied.
"Great, we'll pick up around eight tonight!"
"Oh, would you mind if I bring a friend?" I asked as I thought of Chance.
"Of course not! Essence quickly retorted. "His name wouldn't be Chance,
would it? She playfully inquired as she lightly giggled into the receiver.
"How did you know?" I started to ask when I quickly realized who must have
told her. Big mouth Stacy!
"I'm psychic, baby!" Essence playfully responded. "A little bird by the
name of Stacy told me."
"Well, somebody needs to tape that beak of hers!" I jokingly suggested as I
lightly laughed.
"You know there's no secret between us!" Essence reminded me.
"Yes, of course, how can I forget." I smiled into the receiver.
"So do bring, Chance! I would love to me him. I want to see if he is as
hot as Stacy say you said he is!"
We both started to laugh.
"Ok, I'll see you later."
"Alright, bye Essence."
"Bye!"
I quickly hung up the phone and rolled back to bed, trying to get a few
more winks before getting out of bed. Twenty minutes later, I finally
rolled out of bed and jumped into the shower. The luke-warm, pressurized
water felt good as it hit and trickled down my naked body, arousing me as I
thought of Chance, and what it would be like touching his naked, sculpted
body. It wasn't too long before I had a full hardon. My manhood ached for
attention. I quickly complied and instinctively wrapped my right hand
around my engorged cock, and started to jack off. God, it so great to be
blessedly equipped with such a fun, play tool. So count your blessings
guys, we men are truly lucky (smiling)! I decided to take it nice and
easy, doing my best to prolong the inevitable as I continued to fantasy
about making love to Chance. About ten minutes later, I exploded my load
all over the shower wall in front of me as I heaved heavily, trying to
catch my breath. I stepped out of the shower 15 minutes later, fully awake
and refreshed. I figured I better call Chance to see if he want to go
clubbing tonight. I autodialed his number as I put on a clean boxer
shorts. Someone picked up the phone after three rings.
"Hello," someone other than Chance answered; so I figured it must be Dade.
"Hi Dade, this Michael!" I replied.
"Oh, hi Michael! How's it going? Dade's deep, manly voice inquired.
"Great, thanks! I quickly replied. "Is Chance there?"
"Yeah, just a second!" Dade retorted.
A few seconds later, Chance answered the phone.
"Hi, Michael!" Chance greeted me. "What's up?"
"A couple friends of mine and I are going to Club Oasis tonight at around
eight, and I was wondering if you want to come?"
"Sure!" Chance exclaimed excitingly.
"Great, we'll swing by your place around eight!" I informed him.
"Sounds good. I'll see you then!"
"Ok, talk to you later, Chance!"
"Alright, bye Michael."
"Bye!"
Yes, I thought to myself as I hung up the phone. I can't wait to see
Chance on the dance floor tonight, strutting his stuff, and of course,
dancing with him! I quickly snapped out of my daydreaming when I felt my
stomach growling. Breakfast time!
After my morning breakfast, I figured I better get some chores done before
tonight outing. So I vacuumed the apartment, washed the dishes and did my
laundry. Then, it was time to do my weekly grocery shopping. I soon came
back home with about a week worth of grocery. Afterward, I decided that I
better start writing the paper for my philosophy class. The day passed
quickly by as I sat and wrote the paper. Soon it was time to get ready to
go clubbing. So I threw on a pair of gray pant and a reddish maroon
clubbing shirt with a gray stripe at chest level. I finger combed my hair
with some light hair gel, and put on my black, leather, one- bucket shoes,
and I was ready to go. A little after eight, I heard knocking on my door.
I quickly opened the door to find Essence standing there with a big smile
on her face. She is a sight for sore eyes with her jet black hair,
beautiful, soulful brown eyes, and luscious lips on her sweet, elegant
face. She looked stunning in a red, silk, flower-embroidered, Oriental
style top with a black, slip dress.
"Hi handsome!" Essence said as she gave me a warm embrace and kiss.
"Hey, beautiful!" I replied as I kissed her. "You look great!"
"Why, thank you! You don't look so bad yourself, cutie!" she smiled.
"Ready to go?"
"Yeah, let me grab my keys."
I quickly grabbed my keys, locked the door, and we were on our way. Stacy
was in her red car, waiting for us.
"Hey, Stace!" I smiled as I got into the back seat and gave Stacy a kiss
while Essence took the front seat.
"Hi Michael!" Stacy greeted me with her angelic smile as she kissed me
back. Stacy looked great too in a baby blue top with a stylish black
bottom.
Twenty minutes, we arrived at Chance's place. Stacy parked the car as I
got out to get Chance. After a few knocks, Chance opened the door. He
looked so damn handsome, sporting an olive green club shirt with dark,
brown pants, and brown leather shoes.
"Hi!" Chance greeted me with a warm embrace and kiss.
"Hey, Chance!" I replied as I hugged him tightly and kissed him back. "All
set?"
"Yeah, let's get out of here!" Chance smiled as he locked his door.
We soon filed into Stacy's car. Stacy and Essence had a big grin on their
faces when they saw Chance.
"Ladies, this is Chance! I started the introduction. "Chance, these are
my lovely, close friends, Stacy and Essence."
"Well, it's nice to finally meet you, Chance!" Stacy said sincerely as she
gives me a you-lucky- dog-you-look and shook Chance's hand.
"Very nice to me you too!" Essence injected as she shook his hand. "Well,
Michael certainly did not exaggerated when he described you!
Chance immediately blushed. "Great to meet both of you!" Chance smiled
sheepishly as he settled into his seat and buckled up.
We chit chat casually as Stacy cruised down the freeway towards the City to
Club Oasis when I heard Mandy Moore's excellent new song, "I wanna be with
you," playing on the radio. I totally love this song. It described
perfectly how I feel about Chance at the moment. The dance's version of it
is awesome too!
"Turn that up, Essence!" I immediately requested.
I turned and looked at Chance's beautiful face as Mandy's lovely voice
filled the car. Chance turned and flashed me his sexy smile as he grabbed
my hand. God, it feels so good, holding his strong, masculine hand. I
smiled back as we stared into each other soul. Apparently, he felt the
same way too. I could see Stacy smiling as she caught a glimpse of us in
her rear-view mirror.
We finally arrived at Club Oasis a little over an hour later and after some
waiting we made our way into the club. We were immediately bombarded by
the music of Miss Jane's, "It's fine day." We started to groove to the
music and danced our way to the bar, and ordered our drinks. After some
searching, Stacy found us a table, and we quickly took our seats as we sat
and checked out the scene. The house is pretty packed tonight. I was
sipping my drink when Amber's "Sexual" came on which immediately provoked a
shriek from Essence as she grabbed my hand and led me to the dance floor.
"Come on guys, let's dance!" Essence commanded.
Chance and Stacy quickly followed us to the dance floor. I gave Essence a
quick twirl as we started to dance, jamming to this wonderful song. Chance
was rocking with Stacy. He looked great on the dance floor. The guy
definitely has the moves. He really knows to how to work that hip of his,
shaking his bon bon! After a couple of songs, we switched partners and
then danced in a group. After about half an hour of dancing, we were ready
for a break as we settled back at our table. I promptly went to the bar to
order each of us drinks. As I gave the bartender my orders, someone from
behind me startled me with a bear hug. I quickly turned my head to see who
it was.
I turned to see my pal, Trance, grinning at me. He loosed his embrace just
enough to allow me to turn around and hugged him tightly in return.
"Hey, Michael!" Trance greeted me with a quick peck on the cheek.
"Hey, Trance, what a pleasant surprise!" I smiled beamingly at him as I
returned the friendly peck on his cheek. "What are you doing here in town.
I thought you and Kyndred were going to be out of town until tomorrow!"
"We decided to come back earlier!" Trance exclaimed as he flashed me his
adorable smile.
I guess I should tell you guys about Trance. Trance is one of my closest
friends. And no, he is not gay! Believe me, I wish he was many times!
Anyway, we met in the dorm during my freshman year. He was my roommate
(lucky me), and I had a really bad crush on him at the time. He is so damn
good-looking with brownish blond hair, aqua-blue eyes, full, sensual lips
and a smile that can light up a room. His 6'2" lengthy, surfer body has
all the right amount of muscles in all the right place with a washboard abs
and a face that is delightful to behold. But what I love and impresses me
the most about Trance is how unaffected he is with his good- looks. He is
not one those pretty boys that spend hours grooming themselves. He is one
of the nicest, kindest, and open-minded persons I know. Trance is very
self-assured (not in an arrogant way) and secured with himself and his
masculinity. Unlike most guys, he is not afraid to be affectionate towards
others including guys. Much of this has to do with his amazing upbringing
by his very affectionate and loving parents who instilled these wonderful
qualities into him. They are wonderful, loving, non-judgmental people. If
only all of us have parents like them, this world would be a much more
loving and tolerable place! Ignorance breeds intolerance.
"So where's Kyndred?" I asked curiously.
"She's in the ladies' room." Trance said matter-of-factly. "Oh, there she
is!"
I turned around to see Kyndred's stunning model-like silhouette approached
me. Kyndred is a heavenly sight. She has long, flowing blond hair with a
delicate, model-like face, a pair of amazing lips, and deep, forest green
eyes. She had on a long, elegant, lavender silk dress that stunningly
shows off her every curvatures. She reminds me of Mandy Moore! I also met
her during my freshman year in the dorm. She was Stacy's dorm roommate,
and we started to hang out together and became really close friends over
the years. Kyndred quickly smiled when she saw me and extended her arms to
greet me.
"Hey, you!" Kyndred said as gave me a kiss and a warm hug.
"Hi, gorgeous!" I exclaimed as I kissed her back. "So nice to see you
here!"
"Yeah, what a wonderful surprise!" she smiled radiantly at me. "Are you
here alone?"
"No, I'm with Stacy, Essence and a special friend of mine!" I smiled shyly
at her.
"A special friend, huh!" Kyndred asked with big smile on her face as Trance
gave me a curious look and smile.
"Well, let's go and meet this special friend of his!" Trance quickly
suggested to Kyndred as I grabbed the drinks and led them back to the
table.
Stacy and Essence quickly stood up with grins on their surprised faces when
they saw Trance and Kyndred approaching.
"Hey guys!" Stacy smiled as she gave Kyndred and Trance a tight hug and
kiss. Essence quickly followed suit and greeted the two with kisses.
"We weren't expecting you two until tomorrow!" Essence said smilingly.
Kyndred and Trance's eyes quickly shifted to Chance who was standing back,
smiling at the our cheerful reunion. I guess that's my cue to introduce
them to my mystery date.
"Kyndred, Trance, I want you to me my friend, Chance!" I proudly smiled.
"Chance, these are my wonderful, close friends, Kyndred and Trance!"
"Nice to meet you!" Chance said as he extended his hand and shook both of
their hands.
"The pleasure is ours!" Kyndred quickly replied with a big smile on her
face as Trance smiled and nodded in agreement. Kyndred leaned over and
whispered into my ears, "He's gorgeous, Michael!" I smiled noddingly. "I
thought you were taking a reprise from the dating scene!" Kyndred asked
curiously.
"Yeah, I was!" I smiled. "But with a face like his, can you blame me for
cutting it short!"
"Good to meet you Chance!" Trance exclaimed as we all sat down.
We sat and chatted a little bit when Trance and Kyndred suddenly took hold
of each other hands and declared that they have an announcement to
make. Our eyes widen as we sat up attentively, eagerly waiting their
announcement. Trance and Kyndred looked at each other and smiled as they
made their announcement.
"Well, guys..." Kyndred begins with a big grin, "we're getting marry!"
"Wow, that's great you two!" I said as I kissed Kyndred and hugged
Trance. "Congratulation!"
The others quickly join in and congratulate them with hugs and kisses.
They truly deserve and belong with each other. I knew that it was just a
matter of time before they would get marry. They have gone steady for
about 3 years now, since they met during freshman year. It's so great to
see them finally tying the knot!
"And..." Trance looked at me with a wicked smile, "I was wondering if you
would be my best man!"
I was speechless. "Ah....yes, of course!" I managed to squeak out. "It
would be an honor!" I exclaimed, completely stun.
"Thanks!" Trance came over and hugged me tightly as he gave me another peck
on the cheek.
"You bet!" I said, smiling beamingly at him.
The others smiled and cheered as we loosen our embrace.
"And Stacy, would you please be my maid of honor!" Kyndred smiled at Stacy.
"Yes, absolutely!" Stacy jumped up with joy and gave Kyndred a tight hug
and kiss.
"So when is the big date?" Essence inquired excitingly.
"Oh, next summer." Trance declared.
"Oh, wow, that's great!" Chance injected with a smile.
We sat and chat some more as we get the details on their wedding plans when
I heard New Order's "True Faith" playing which immediately prompted me to
want to dance. So I quickly pulled Kyndred to the dance floor and the
others immediately followed. Kyndred is a wonderful dancer. There's an
exotic and sensual quality to her dancing. She's not afraid to pull out
all the stops and really lose herself in the music. I'm sort of like that
when I'm on the dance floor. I completely get lost in the moment and just
have a blast dancing my heart out. Then Whitney Houston's dance version of
"My love is your love" came on, and we started to dance in a group and
exchanging dance partners throughout the next few songs. Chance is a great
dancer. He really knows how to move to the music and uses every inch of
his body in various dance moves. Then suddenly, the mesmerizing, ethereal
sound of Dido's "Here with me" started to fill the dance room. All night,
I have been dancing with the girls and indirectly with Chance. But when
this song came on, I had this indescribable urge to dance just with Chance.
And nothing was going to stop me! It was so weird (must be the alcohol or
something)! But when the song came on, the room suddenly seemed to began
spinning slowly as everyone around me seems to be moving in slow-mode, and
Chance was the only person in clear focus as I looked across the room and
made eye contact with him. He seemed to be feeling the same irresistible,
centrifugal force that was pulling us closer on the dance floor as Dido's
haunting sounds surrounded us. We slowly moved towards each other as I
held out my right hand, inviting him to dance with me. He extended out his
arms, and we began dancing intimately together. I looked into his soulful,
sky blue eyes as he stared intensely into mine. At that moment, time seems
to crawl slowly as we held each other closely, slow dancing to Dido's
hypnotic music. And I didn't have a single worry in the world as we stared
into each other soul. I knew at that moment that I love Chance, and always
will (Oh, my God....did I just said the L-word lol)! There seemed to be
just me and Chance; everyone else was just a blur. Suddenly, reality sets
in as my senses quickly rushed back to normal as I realized what we were
doing. I abruptly turned to see my friends standing there with a
pleasantly surprised smile on their faces as I continued to dance with
Chance. Slowly, the other people's faces came back into focus and some of
them weren't as friendly and pleasant. I saw a few guys and girls gave us
looks of disgust as they got off the dance floor. Chance must have also
noticed because he gently guided my face back to his as he stared intensely
into my eyes. His eyes smiled at me, encouraging me to let it go, and
reassured me that everything will be okay. But a part of me was still a
bit bothered and angry at those venom stares. The song soon ended, and we
slowly loosen our embrace. We stood there smiling at each other as my
friends coralled around us, obviously trying to shelter us from those dirty
stares.
"You guys looked so adorable dancing together!" Essence exclaimed as she
kissed me and Chance.
"Yeah, you two looked great together!" Stacy quickly added as Kyndred and
Trance winked at me and nodded with a sincere smile.
"Thanks guys, you're the best!" I gave them all a hug as we walked of the
dance floor.
We hung around a little bit longer and chit chat. After about 15 minutes,
Stacy suggested that we better get going since she has early classes
tomorrow. We quickly said our good-byes to Kyndred and Trance as we filed
into Stacy's car. Our designated driver, Stacy, quickly sped away onto the
freeway, heading back to the University. The ride back home was a
uneventful. I must have been really tired and dozed off during the latter
part of the trip because the next thing I knew, we were at Chance's
apartment complex. He woke up me up with a passionate, good-night kiss. I
kissed him back deeply as we said our good-nights.
"It was great meeting both of you!" Chance smiled sheepishly as he turned
to see Stacy and Essence gawking at us. "Good night ladies!" Chance said
as he got out of the car.
"Likewise!" Stacy concurred.
"Good night, Chance!" Essence and I said simultaneously as we waved him
good-bye.
I had a big grin on my face when Stacy and Essence turned and looked at me
with fat smirks on their faces.
"What?!!" I exclaimed innocently as I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.
"Never seems two guys french kiss!"
"Well, yeah!" Stacy retorted. "but that's not why we are grinning!"
"It's just that we never see you so happy!" Essence injected with a smile.
"We are very happy for you!"
"Thanks, you guys!" I smiled as I leaned forward to hug them. "It means a
lot to me to have friends like you two. I loved you so much!"
They smiled and hugged me. After a quick ride, Stacy arrived at my place
and dropped me off.
"Well, good-night ladies," I said as I got out of the car. "Thanks for
everything!"
"You bet!" Stacy said as she and Essence waved me good-bye.
What a night, I thought to myself as I made my way to my apartment. I
finally danced with Chance!
Chapter 12:
Chance was feeling a bit tipsy as he fumbled for his keys and opened the
apartment door. The apartment was pitch black except for the rays of
light, streaming through Dade's crack opened door. Chance quickly flipped
off his brown, leather shoes. As he walked lazily towards his room, he
could hear Alanis Morrisette's ballad of truth, "That I would be good,"
blaring from Dade's room. Chance decided to poke his head in and say
good-night. He gently knocked on the door as he pushed it open.
"Hey Dade, how it going?" Chance asked with a smile as he pushed open the
door.
Dade was sitting on the edge of his bed, completely startled by the
Chance's presence, as he turned his head to see a smiling Chance standing
at his doorway.
Chance's friendly smirk quickly disappeared when he saw Dade's teary, red
eyes. He looked like a vulnerable deer, caught in headlights, completely
speechless. Dade was shirtless with only his boxer shorts on. Chance
quickly rushed to his side.
"What's wrong?" Chance started to ask with concern in voice, but he
immediately figured it out when he saw Dade holding a picture of his mom in
his right hand. It's Dade's mom's anniversary he quickly recalled. And
he's obviously missing her.
"Nothing!" a startled Dade managed to squeak out as he quickly wiped his
tears.
Chance quickly sat next to Dade and wrapped his masculine arms around him.
Dade instinctively protested the embrace at first. But he quickly
surrendered as he allowed his body to take comfort and refuge in Chance's
warm embrace.
"It's okay, Dade. I'm here for you buddy. Just let it all out. You don't
need to hold it back." Chance whispered as he held Dade tightly in his
arms, doing his best to comfort his distraught buddy. "It's okay, Dade.
I'm here." Chance continued to reassure his best friend.
Dade let out a deep, silent sob. Chance embraced his even tighter as he
felt the warm tears of his buddy trickled down his back. This almost made
him want to cry, to somehow take away some of Dade's heartache and pain.
It hurts him to see his buddy so sad and teary.
"I miss her so much Chance," Dade finally spoke in between sobs. "And it
hurts so much."
"I know, Dade, and I'm here for you....as long as you need me to be, okay!"
Chance whispered softly into Dade's ears as he allowed Dade's head to rest
on his shoulder. Dade nodded as he continued to weep silently.
After a few minutes, Chance decided to shift their sitting position. He
slowly loosen his hold on Dade and gently allowed Dade's upper body to drop
gradually on the bed as he lifted Dade's legs up onto the bed. Dade is now
lying on his side, almost in a fetus position. Chance reached over and
turned off the nearby CD player and nightstand light. Then, he quickly
stripped down to his boxer shorts and got into bed with Dade. Chance lay
on his side, spooning Dade's body as he continued to embrace him tightly.
Dade could feel the warmth of Chance's body as his body relaxes. Chance
held Dade in his arms until his buddy felt asleep.
It was around 10:30AM when Chance woke up the next morning in Dade's bed.
It took him a few seconds before it dawned on him where he was. As the fog
of his mind slowly cleared up, memories of last night event quickly
surfaced into his consciousness. He abruptly turned to look for Dade, but
Dade was not in bed. Chance quickly hopped out of bed, and dashed out into
the hallway to find Dade standing in the kitchen, apparently cooking
breakfast! Chance smiled when he saw his sexy buddy.
"Hey, good morning, sleepy head!" Dade greeted Chance with a fat grin as he
flipped the omelette.
"Hey, morning!" Chance replied, smiling as he scratched his head. "What's
cooking?"
"Omelettes and french toasts!" Dade exclaimed with a big smile on his face.
"Smells good!"
"Good, because I'm making you breakfast!" Dade said matter-of-factly as he
smiled beamingly at Chance.
"Why?" Chance retorted, a bit surprised by Dade's generous gesture.
Dade gave him a you-know-why-smile. "For being there for me last night,
for being such a great friend!"
Chance simply smiled. "Ok, I need to use the john first, I'll be right
back!"
"Alright, it should be ready when you come back!"
Chance quickly empty his full bladder and took care of his morning toiletry
stuff. When he came out his morning breakfast was waiting for him on the
dining table. Dade has made his french toast and omelette special.
"Have a seat!" Dade suggested as he set down the cups of diced fruits and
poured orange juice into the glasses.
"Wow, this looks great!" Chance smiled radiantly at his buddy. "You
shouldn't have, Dade!"
"Yeah, I should. It's the least that I can do as a way to say thank you!"
Dade insisted as he sat down.
"Well, you're very welcome!" Chance smiled at his buddy as the two sat and
ate their breakfast. Chance was glad that he was able to be there for Dade
last night. He knew that Dade would do the same for him in a heart beat.
It warms his heart to know that he has such a wonderful and close
friendship with Dade!
