Unusual Encounter: Part 2

Continued from Part 1 - HERE:

I said a timid hello, trying to speak like straight men do (without the grabbing of the crotch and spitting, of course). He smiled, perhaps he was charmed by the gesture, and said “what’s up?” “Oh dear, what I do say I now?” That’s what I thought in my head. Well, I decided to discard the pretentious voice and use my normal. So, I said to him, “I am NV..I work in the office just down the road and I’m new here.” That was of course partially true. I was new in town but it’s been almost a year since I’ve been here. So, that isn’t exactly new. “I’m Josh,” he said. “Listen, I gotta run I’m late. It was nice to meet you, dawg.”

During this whole time, I went five years down the line. I was already imagining us living in a country house; with him (shirtless) playing catch & fetch with the dog, while I’m sitting on the steps watching them play. It wasn’t until I was shaking his hand goodbye when I snapped back to reality. Of course now I was trying to think if I said anything stupid or said anything at all. It turns out that I brought up the whole dropping of the water bottle thing and he mentioned how empathetic he was about it, but told me not to worry, “shit like that happens, man.”

I was relieved to hear I wasn’t just an idiot who stood there with an “Colgate” smile and didn’t say a word because I was deep in fantasy. So, I watched him walk away without being too obvious. He looked so good and I was really impressed with his disposition. He made me smile. I continued on with my walk, re-enacting this encounter in my head just one more time.


Day 5:

This morning, I was convinced that I left an indelible impression on him and so I was just going to continue to do that. I got up early and went for a run. It has been my experience in the past that after a good morning workout, you seem to get an extra glow and your stride gets a bonus bounce. Basically, you just feel and look great. I was on a mission to impress and so that was my focus. I got ready for work, making sure that I looked absolutely cute for that chance meeting with him.

The bus dropped me off on the regular spot. I started my walk towards work, feeling absolutely wonderful as I took each step. Those who know me, know that I have a natural runway walk. It was enhanced this morning. As I was approaching our usual meeting spot, I could not see him. I looked further down the road for that impeccable physique and that walk I’ve come to recognize. Nope, it wasn’t there. I looked across the street to see if he maybe decided to walk on the other side. All those attempts were futile. What was going on?

Oh, that inner voice I’ve come to hate came back to torment me. “Damn you, NV. You scared him away with all your inane nervous talk.” I didn’t know what to think of this. When I reached the office I felt sad, confused and betrayed, not to mention dismayed. I was especially pissed that I spent all this time trying to look cute for him. Why did I even allow myself to do that. I was getting more upset at this point that I allowed some stranger to make me feel this way. Why am I even mad at him? He didn’t do this to me. I did it to myself. The whole situation just got me all frustrated and upset. That’s it! My day is officially ruined.

After work, I went to the gym close by our office. This time, I decided that I was going to run a mile or so, just to let my frustrations go. The thing I love about running is that you get to disappear in thought. I needed to allow myself back to reality and come to grips with the fact that this unusual encounter was not worth all this trouble. It wasn’t until three miles later that I snapped back to life. After that great run, I went downstairs to the free-weight room to define some muscles.

I walked into the room and headed for the ab-benches. Just as I got settled, my eyes fell upon this familiar figure whose back was turned away from me as he was working his shoulders and traps. I looked up on the mirror to catch a reflection of the face. Nooooo!!! It cannot be? Could it be…? I simply could not finish any thought at this time. I was discombobulated and excited at the same time. My heart was beating even faster. I didn’t know what step to take.

I thought to myself, “should I approach him or should I just leave him alone?” I didn’t want this co-incidence to seem like I was stalking him. But, I’ve often heard that when it comes to God’s work, there are no co-incidences. He has everything planned out. So, maybe this was one of His plans to get us together here like this. When you are in a situation like mine, you find every reason to justify your actions; perhaps this was one of them. I don’t know.

“Oh well, what I have got to lose?” I thought to myself. All I needed to do at this point was to garner enough strength and courage to approach this guy one more time. I finally resolved to walking over there and strike up a quick conversation with him.

The moment I started walking over there, my adrenaline started pumping like crazy. Sweat glands went to work, excreting sweat in a rather rapid manner. What was going on? Why was my body reacting this way? Why am I acting like this? I just can’t explain it. My sense of reasoning–when it comes to this matter–simply escaped me. There were no explanation for my actions or reactions.

Well, there I was standing next to his right side as he is busy on the dip machine. Every muscle on his back was clearly defined, even more defined with each contraction and release. His musculature can easily be compared to the likes of Michelangelo’s David. It is pure perfection. I’ve always said that the male body, when taken care of, is God’s genius work at its best.

So, I approached Josh. There was no backing off now because I was right there and it was clear that I had something to say. I smiled, removed the almost paralyzing lump in my throat and asked him how he was doing. “Good man, just doing some dips. How about you?” I was glad he remembered me.

As soon as he spoke, I noticed something in his voice. I didn’t quite notice the last time I talked to him. His voice was absolutely sexy. It’s one of those velvet-like, yet husky voices. It melts you right away. I knew I was in deep trouble now. How on earth was I going to control this irrepressible desire to kiss him right there? I knew that I somehow had to not let this desire get the better of me.

I looked around to see if he was working with anyone in particular. Fortunately for me, it appeared that he was alone. I had to make my move and I had to do it then. “I was wondering, when you’re done here–of course, if you wouldn’t mind spotting me on the bench press?” That was the first thing that came out of my mouth. Josh said he’d be happy to help. He only had one more set to do and then he’ll come right over. “Actually, that was the next thing on my list,” he said.

Why on earth did I just ask him that? Not only do I hate bench-pressing, my form is incredibly bad, thereby making the whole process not pleasurable for me. This was going to be an embarrassing moment for me, right in front of my crush. “Good one, NV! What the hell are you going to do now?”

Well, I returned to my bench and arranged the weights, hoping Josh doesn’t notice that I was only benching 15kgs on each side. Just as I got done with that, there he was, diligently making his way over. I thanked him once again for doing this.

I slid onto the bench and prepared myself for a moment of embarrassment. When I grabbed the bar to get ready for my first press Josh got closer. There it was; his bulge was right there directly above my face. I felt as weak as can be. My arms gave in, I had to readjust them. The torture levels were now incredibly increased. Naughty thoughts came streaming in to my mind. I tried so hard to repress them but they kept coming back. I figured if I start lifting this now, my focus will be redirected to what I am actually doing rather than what I wanted to do at that moment.

I did the first six and then I felt the weight shifting from arm to arm. I could not keep them balanced, it was humiliating. Josh noticed this and I simply smiled and told myself that I only had two more to go before this set is over. I pushed myself to make it through those and I did. It was now his turn and I was looking forward to watching him work this. He removed my weights from the bar and put on 25s on each and then added 10s. I felt absolutely embarrassed. He swiftly got on the bench and did his eight lifts for this set without any struggles. This whole time I was just watching him, admiring everything about his well-crafted body. I instantly went to fantasyland yet again, until of course I noticed him changing the weights back to my 15s. He looked amazing with every movement.

By the time we reached the 3rd set, I was completely hurting and we were just having a good laugh about how pathetic I was with all that. We shared a few laughs and I thanked him again for helping me with that. He has a really good sense of humour, something I always adore in a guy. We agreed that we’d do this again the following day and that he’d help me improve my form. What Josh doesn’t know is that I hate bench-pressing, period. I could care less about getting the form right, but I was determined to do it this time because I figured it was going get us closer. We parted ways and were going to see each other again. I floated all the way home. Being that close to him today gave me an eternal high. I was definitely happy to realize I didn’t lose him forever.

(Story continues, stay tuned for what happens next.)

    Kwwaaa kwaaa kwiiie, on slow people ba se JC “NVK, the dude just called you ‘dawg’!!! Eerrrr…… that’s not a good sign?”.

    The story is well narrated, but the suspense is kinda irritating. I guess the story is quite detailed and long, hence the 14 episodes. We will wait yet again.

  16. Cutypie on Mon, 13th Jun 2011 9:27 am 

    I see I’m not the only one who thought this was a guy meets gal typa story. Oh well, we shall see. I don’t know whether I had high expectations or what but today’s story was kinda anti-climax. I can’t wait 4 the next “episode” thou.

  17. popeye on Mon, 13th Jun 2011 9:34 am

  54. softnfree on Mon, 13th Jun 2011 8:26 pm 

    I refuse to believe that this could be plagiarism….

    Those who claim its a cut and paste are you guys honestly suggesting foul play?

    Ai…
    Cha

  55. Sweet n Witty on Mon, 13th Jun 2011 9:26 pm 

    Pana and Gerald: If the story is a cut and paste from Mills & Boon will you extract a paragraph from the said book and post it on here for us to verify? If not, can you at least tell us what happens next so as to substantiate your claims?

    Until you can do that, I suggest that you sit down and take in the good writing that’s presented here and NOT ruin it for the rest of us.

    Now ENVEE, gay or straight, just bring us part 3. The choice is ours whether we read or not.

  56. Lela on Mon, 13th Jun 2011 9:33 pm
