Subject: My Date with a Boy Chapter 2

Thank you to those of you who gave me feedback to chapter 1 of this
story. I am glad you liked it. I hope you enjoy the rest of it as well.
If the idea of two guys going on a date offends you, well, you are
really lost in this site, and should just go watch TV or something.


He's picking me up at eight! Why do I have these butterflies in my
stomach? I mean, this is a guy, and he's coming to pick me up in a few
hours to go on a date? How did this happen? I mean, last week I was
straight. Perpetually single, but straight. A few stares at a party and
some confusing advice from my best friend and I'm going out on a date
with a guy?

I'm so scared... I mean... I haven't even come to terms with the
idea that I might want to date guys and here I am going on a date
tonight? It's all Alena's fault. Well, no, I'm just trying to shift the
blame. This is my own feelings. Just because she pointed out the fact
that I liked the Broken Hearts Club didn't mean it suddenly become true.
It was already true. I think she was wrong about my sexual preferences
though. I may be attracted to guys, but I like girls too. Afterall, I
did ask other people out and it was their lack of interest in me that
caused it to not happen, not my lack of interest in them.

I don't know how to get cleaned up for a date with another guy... I
mean, If he asked me, am I the equivalent of the girl in this? I shaved
my face, should I put on cologne? I brushed my teeth and hair. What
should I wear? Should I wear some loose skater jeans and a surfboard
t-shirt? Should I wear the black polyester flared pants that I bought in
the women's department at Urban Outfitters? I mean, they look really good
on me.. Alena convinced me to buy them even though they were women's
pants... She said they made my butt look cute. Hmm.. What shoes should I
wear? My airwalks? My Clogs? my sketchers?

I'm calling Alena

"Hello?"

"Alena.. it's Cam"

"Nervous?"

"Yeah but the reason I called is..."

"Can't decide what to wear?"

"Bingo."

"Wear the skater jeans tonight, with airwalks, and that blue
shirt."

"Which blue shirt?"

"The one with the long sleeves, oh and maybe wear a short
sleeved... yes, the plaid short sleeved shirt over it."

"Really?"

"Trust me."

"Gotcha. Hang on, I've got another call."

I switch the phone over. It's him....

"Hello?" I said as I clicked to the other line.

"Is Cameron there?"

"Speaking"

"Hey man, it's me, Devin." It was him. my Date....my throat
almost got dry.. the guy on the phone now was going to be my date...

"Oh hey, what's up?"

"Not much, the reason I was calling was because I got off work
early, and So I was wondering if you might want to go get a bite to eat
before the movie starts?" We had decided to go see Bedazzled when we'd
spoken earlier.

"Um.. Ok, oooh, Hang on, I forgot, I was on the other line"

"I can call back..."

"Well, rather than that, why not just meet me here in... 20
minutes?" Oh my god... what am I doing? I'm making the date come sooner
than it already iss.. Do I WANT to die of a stress induced Ulcer or
something? Jeeze....

"Ok, sounds like a plan. See you then."

I click back over to Alena. "Alena, that was Devin.. He's going to
be here in twenty minutes. I have to get ready.. NOW!"

"Ok! but you better call me and dish as soon as you get home... or
tommorrow if you get lucky!" She said as she hung up. Get Lucky? I
hadn't even thought of that. He's not going to want to have sex on the
first date is he? I don't want to? do I? No. It's way too soon for
that. I am sooo not ready for sex.

I spend the next 20 minutes doing the flight of the bumble bee,
pulling on my boxers and my pants, my socks were dirty so the ones I wear
are mismatched. Oh well, I'll just say I did it on purpose. I'm an arts
student, I can get away with that.

I hear the phone ring, It's been 20 minutes and he's down outside
my building. I Take a deep breath, grab my wallet and my keys... and
step out of my room, to go on my very first date, with another boy.....
