Subject: My Date with a Boy Chapter 8

Thanks to so many readers who have given me such great responses.
Sorry for the delay in writing, I transferred to another school and life
has been kind of hectic latley, so I've been writing this chapter piece
by piece. I really like the evolution of Cameron in this story, and I
beleive the next entry may even have a much steamier side than the story
so far, though I am not breaking my original intention of writing a story
that wasn't just a quick jerk off story. If that is what you are looking
for, I suggest you look elsewhere. Please email me at
SwingerStan@yahoo.com if you have ANY feedback at all, unless it's to
tell me that you object to the idea of a boy being attracted to another
boy, because if thats the case why have you read this far into these
tales?


It was a weird feeling walking out to Jared's car. I was still very
nervous, I had no idea where he was taking me. I had decided to keep
myself completley ready to see anything. The fact that Jared was wearing
a skirt made that pretty easy, but I was concerned that maybe he was one
of the more normal people at this place. I laughed to myself when I
thought the word "Normal." maybe I should just bury that term deep
underneath my sub-conscious.

The drive to the club wasn't filled with conversation. Jared had some
music playing that was too loud to really get any decent dialogue going.
He told me that the band that was playing on the CD was going to be
playing tonight at the club. It was kind of a cool sound, it was a punk
band, but they were covering songs by girl singers like Britney Spears
and Christina Aguilera. It was quiet humorous hearing a male voice
rocking out to what a girl wants. Suddenly we turned off the road and
into a parking lot.

"We're here" Jared said as he turned down the radio. it was now that I
really began to feel nervous. I mean, there was no turning back now, I
had to go in and embrace this alternative lifestyle that up untill 2
weeks ago I never knew existed. Up untill Devin swept me off my feet and
asked me out on that amazing date.. and then dropped me flat when he
revealed he'd just been using me to get over a girl.

I wasn't quite sure what to make out of the building from the outside.
I'd actually gone by it plenty of times, but it wasn't decorated at all
and I never knew there was anything inside, I just thought it was an old
warehouse or something. I definately was not expecting what I saw when I
went inside the door.

It was an old bowling alley! I looked around and was amazed, it looked
like it originally had about 30 lanes, and they actually still had 15
lanes in operation. the other 15 had been converted into a dance floor
and a spot for the band to play. The band wasn't there yet so I couldn't
put faces to the songs from the car. But there were plenty of people
actually there.. and after I got over the shock of seeing a bowling alley
turned into alternative night club, I received another rush of images
when I got a good look at the people there in the club.

Jared hadn't prepared me for this, though I don't even think he could
have. People were wearing all sorts of clothing, I saw guys wearing
cheerleader uniforms and girls wearing tuxedos. I saw someone dressed
like Russell Crowe in Gladiator dancing with either. Starsky or Hutch.
Not everyone was dressed in costumes though, in fact most were people
like me and Jared who were wearing street clothes. I laughed to myself
when I had this thought, because I remembered Jared was wearing a skirt,
and I myself had on a pair of girl's pants, and the culture shock of this
club had made me forget that we wouldn't be considered dressing in normal
street clothes if we weren't at this club.

After about an hour I really felt pretty relaxed, I danced with some
girls and a couple of guys, I think a couple of drinks in me helped to
loosen me up a bit, and I started to feel better, but there was always
that thought at the pit of my mind that made me feel weird. I said to
someone in passing "This is my first time in a gay club" and she laughed
and said "The Alley isn't a gay club silly! This is an EVERYONE club." I
laughed when I realized that was true, and it helped to loosen me up a
bit. This wasn't a club for weird people like I'd been subconsciously
feeling all week, it was a club where people could cut loose and have
fun.

Finally, the band arrived. A lot of people moved from the bowling lanes
over to the dance floor. Jared grabbed me by the hand and brought me up
to right by the stage, I was psyched, I think he could tell that I liked
the music in the car. Some smoke rose, not a lot, I figured the band
probably just used a little bit of the money they don't have to buy a
minimal ammount of special effects.

The guy who had been working as a DJ before the band arrived came and
stood on the stage and picked up the microphone. "Ladies and Gentlemen,
and of course, those of you who fall between the cracks" The crowd
laughed at that. I kind of snickered a bit. "I can tell by the sales of
their in-house CD that you love these guys so without further ado, I
bring you the Alley's very own.. GIRL POWER!!!" The crowd cheered as 4
young men took to the stage.

I laughed a bit to myself as I saw them step on stage. The whole band
had dressed in clothes from different girl-pop singers. The Bass Guitar
player was dressed up like Christina Aguilera, the Drum player was
Jessica Simpson, The lead guitar was Vitamin C. But the one who really
caught my eye was the lead singer. He was dressed as Britney Spears.

My eyes were locked on him. He was wearing her outfit from the Baby one
More Time video. Mary Jane Shoes, Knee Socks, short schoolgirl skirt,
white blouse unbuttoned with a black bra on underneath. He had such an
awesome body, his exposed chest was so lean and totally formed into a
perfect six pack. But what really got me, were his eyes. I think he had
a bit of eyeliner on, but it was the dead heat of the eyes themselves
that washed over me. I forgot about Devin while I watched him sing. The
first song they sang was one by Christina Aguilera I think but I wasn't
sure. I was too busy looking into the singers eyes.

"See something you like?" I heard a voice say. I broke from my gaze and
looked to my right, it was Jared.

"Huh?" I wasn't sure what he meant.

"Cam, you're staring at that guy so hard you'll burn a hole in his head."

"Was I? Oh I didn't mean to." I was embarrassed now. I hadn't meant to
be so obvious.

"Don't feel bad, this is good, see, you're thinking about other guys than
whats his name."

"Yeah, I guess. What's his name?"

"Seth."

"Do you know him?"

"Yeah, he's a nice guy, I like him a lot."

"Would he like me?"

"Sure, you're a friendly guy."

"No I mean, would he *like* me. Is he gay?"

"Seth doesn't define his sexuality, he goes with the feeling."

"But he likes guys?"

"He likes you."

"How can you tell."

"He's staring at you."

I looked at him and I was taken back by the revelation that Jared was
correct. He smiles when I looked at him and I think he may have even
licked his lips. I had never liked Christina Aguilera before, but
suddenly I felt like every word in 'Genie in a Bottle' was written for
me. That song soon ended and he smiled at me as the next song started
up. This one was a song I'd heard before but it wasn't a new girl-pop
song, it was from the 80's, it was "I know what Boys like" by the
waitresses.

I know what boys like
I know what guys want
I seem them looking (looking)
I make them want me
I like to tease them
And they want to touch me
I never let them
I know what boys like
I know what guys want
I know what boys like
Boys like, boys like me
I got my cat moves
That so upsets them
Zippers and buttons
Fun to frustrate them
They get so angry
Like pouty children
Denied their candy
I laugh right at them

I listened to the words of the song and I felt like he was teasing with
me, flirting with me, and challenging me. I had never felt so full of
desire as I did from listening to him sing that song. It was like he was
dangling a toy in front of me, and I wanted it. I decided to take his
challenge. Seth has his cat moves huh? Well so do I, and I'm going to
get my Candy. I knew then that I no longer hated Devin. He may have
screwed me over, but if it wasn't for him, I knever have discovered what
it was that I truly wanted.

Seth.
