Title: One Armed Bandit (2/4)
Kris decided spending a day with an arrogant rock star was no worse than following his friends around town with no money. He loaned Adam a pair of Cale’s jeans and one of his oversized plaid shirts. Adam also grabbed Kris’ favorite baseball cap and sunglasses.
“How does this look work?”
“Well, if you were going for Larry the cable guy, I think you succeeded. So what are we doing?”
“Everything.”
Adam pulled Kris out of the hotel room. Kris insisted on telling his friends he was going out all day. Kris knocked on the door and a very tired Daniel answered,
“Kris, this is Vegas, you are not supposed to get up before late afternoon.” Daniel looked at Adam, “Holy shit! Cale was telling the truth. Hi Adam, I’m Daniel, Kris’ younger brother.”
“Fuck, you recognized me. I am trying to go incognito. What gave me away?”
Kris laughed, “Probably your black nails, fifty million rings or maybe the cheetah print boots. Hard to say, Glambert.”
Adam laughed, “Yeah, maybe I’ll take off the rings. Now come on, cute guy, I thought we’d start with the roller coaster on top of the stratosphere and work our way down. I want to do every hotel attraction.”
An incognito Adam was a very cute Adam. Kris was surprised how well they got along and how comfortable it was between them. Each passing moment the Diva!Adam faded and was replaced by a hyper, fun loving boy. Kris loved hearing Adam laugh and was amazed at their similar sense of humor. Kris had seen Adam in a few interviews but he hadn’t realized just how charismatic the guy was. They went to Madame Troussard’s Wax museum and stood before a statue of Adam.
“I look like a peacock.”
“Peacocks aren’t as sexy-“ Fuck, that was out loud!
Adam raised an eyebrow and then laughed. Kris looked down and then took out his phone,
“Let me get a picture of you with it. When else will you get to be seen with yourself?”
Kris noticed Adam stiffened, “No pictures, Kris.”
“You are right, that shirt would have been scandalous.”
Adam laughed and relaxed, “OK, but no posting it on twitter.”
Kris took a picture as Adam kissed the statue. It was funny until the guard came over and yelled at them. Luckily, he didn’t notice the likeness and let them off with a warning not to molest the statues. Adam pulled Kris to the next exhibit and they both took photos with Elvis and Marilyn. Kris was having a blast and it was nice to be with someone who didn’t worry about being ‘cool’. He also noticed Adam was a touchy person and Kris found himself responding. Kris had become so relaxed he found himself leaning into Adam as they rode in a gondola in the Venetian. Adam put his arm around Kris and kissed him on the cheek,
“This is so much fun, Kris. I never get to just hang out and do normal stuff anymore. You are not just a cute guy but also a cool guy.”
Kris smiled, “Yeah, you are becoming tolerable too, Glambert. However, I must enlighten you that spending $300 on hotel attractions isn’t the normal Vegas experience. But, I am having fun too.”
“We totally have to see a show tonight. You want to see that Elvis Cirque de Soleil or a sex show?”
“You mean like a topless show?”
Adam seemed to think for a minute and shrugged a little defeated, “Well, the sex show won’t really work so well since you wanna see chicks and I wanna see dicks. Let’s go with Elvis.”
Kris looked at Adam and smiled, “It is your dime so I will go see whatever you like.”
Adam laughed, “How congenial. I’ll take a rain check on the dick show but that was nice of you to offer.” Adam kissed him short on the lips and then froze.
“Sorry, I am used to being affectionate with cute boys.”
“S’OK. It was innocent enough that I didn’t mind.”
Adam quirked a brow, “Careful, Kris, I can convert the best of them.” Adam then laughed and helped Kris out of the gondola. “Come on we have like eight more hotels.”
Kris was exhausted by the time they settled into their seats. Kris wasn’t surprised that they had front row seats. The show was incredible and the excitement contagious. They finished up the night at a French restaurant where Adam ordered for the both of them. Kris agreed to be adventurous and tried all the weird things Adam ordered. After the meal, Adam became melancholy. Kris instinctively reached out and took Adam’s hand across the table, “What’s wrong, Adam?”
Adam caressed Kris’ hand and then brought it to his lips, “Nothing, honey. I am just sad the day is over and tomorrow its back to being a rock god.”
Kris didn’t pull his hand back and allowed it to rest on the table still in Adam’s grasp. “If it is any consolation, tomorrow I go back to being the ex-assistant hardware manager that got dumped.”
“Harsh. You can be a rock god fan tomorrow. I am playing again and I’d like you to come. I’ll put you and your friends on the VIP list.”
Kris smiled, “OK, then you can return Cal’s pants.” Adam settled the bill and guided Kris out of the restaurant. They stood outside for a couple seconds until Adam broke the awkward silence,
“I have an interview tomorrow morning so I should probably call it a night. I hope you come to my show tomorrow.”
“I will be there and let me apologize for my friends beforehand. They can be jerks. Today was definitely the highpoint of my vegas trip so thanks.”
“There is always tomorrow. My hotel is in the opposite direction so goodnight, cute guy.”
“Goodnight, glam god.” Adam smiled and gave Kris a quick peck on the mouth. Kris reacted spontaneously and hugged Adam. Kris loved the way Adam felt and the way he smelled. Did his recent jilt turned him off women and onto…men? Not going there.
Kris reluctantly released Adam and went back to his hotel. Cale was in the room getting done.
“I didn’t think you’d come home tonight. How the fuck did you meet Adam Lambert? You don’t seem his type.”
“It’s a long story. We are just friends.”
“Friends don’t blow each other. It’s ok Kris, a lot of people experiment. The important thing is you are getting over Julie. If it takes an infamous rockstar, so be it. Be careful though because I’ve seen him in interviews and he is committed to being single and having a good time.”
Kris was not in the mood to argue or even try to disillusion Cale. It was nice to know he would be supportive. Not that he had anything to be supportive since Kris wasn’t gay and Adam Lambert had much better offers. Kris just nodded, “He’s putting us on the guest list to his show. Do you want to go?”
“Cool. At least we can all benefit from your one night stand.”
Kris told the rest of the gang and everyone was excited to go; mostly because of the hot chick factor. Kris worried as they approached the door that Adam forgot. The guy did seem to have trouble even remembering his name. Kris was pleasantly surprised when they received back stage passes, as well as, tickets. They went in and headed backstage. There were plenty of people and lots of free booze. Kris asked around for Adam and was told he was probably in his dressing room. Kris knocked on the door everyone pointed out and opened it a few seconds later since it was too loud to hear knocking. Kris froze as he saw Adam standing against the wall getting a blow job. Adam looked over and simply smiled,
“Hey, cute guy you came.” The guy giving Adam a blow job stopped and looked up at Adam questioningly. Adam looked down, “But I didn’t so keep going.” He pushed the guy’s head back into his crotch. Kris was shocked and unsure what to do. Adam just looked back at Kris, “Grab me a vodka martini and come back. I’ll be done in a couple minutes.” Adam winked.
Kris walked out unsure why he was so pissed. Cale came over, “This is so cool. Where is your glamboy?”
“He is busy getting head from some guy. Must be nice being a rock star.”
“Maybe you should try it. You are talented enough. It may not be assistant manager in Bill’s hardware but rock star is a close second. I thought you two hooked up? He already moved on?”
“Shut up.”
Adam’s door opened and a young guy came out. He gave Kris a dirty look. Kris grabbed Adam a drink and went in. Adam was fixing his makeup. Kris tried to hide his hurt, “Warming up for the show?”
Adam laughed, “I find it helpful to get off before a show. Otherwise, I get too turned on and sport a hard on through my set. So I figure, why jerk off when I have so many willing boys to suck me off? Anyway, I am glad you came.”
“Why? You certainly aren’t lacking in company.”
“Actually, I am. Don’t get me wrong it is nice having my ass kissed all the time but it gets a little empty. Besides, you are perfect since I don’t want to get involved with anyone and you aren’t interested. See, breeders have their uses.”
Kris cringed, “Don’t call me a breeder. It makes me sound like an evil alien.”
Adam laughed and kissed him short on the lips, “OK, than cute guy it is. After the show there is a private party upstairs. You and your friends should come. There will a lot of hot women so you and your friends can get lucky. Sound good?”
Kris just nodded and Adam continued, “Cool it is in the penthouse so your passes will get you up there. See you later.”
Kris went by his friends and told them about the party. They thought Kris was a hero and no one seemed to want to address the pink elephant in the room. Kris really could care less if they thought he was gay since bedding Adam Lambert would be seen as a feather in his cap.
The concert was amazing and Adam was very sexy on stage. Despite, the preshow blow, Adam seemed to be very excited toward the end of his set. After the show they headed to the party. Kris immediately noticed along with hot chicks there were quite a few young, pretty boys. Kris went in and found himself talking to some bimbos. Apparently attending Adam Lambert’s private party made him cool because the girls giving him the time of day were way out of his league. Adam was right the chicks were hot.
Kris noticed Adam came in and had no shortage of company himself. He was chatting with people and doing quite a few shots. About an hour later Kris looked over and saw Adam sitting on the couch with three pretty guys around him. They were fawning over him and getting very touchy-feely. Before Kris could stop himself, he had walked over and was standing before Adam, “Am I interrupting?”
One of the guys gave him a dirty look, “As a matter of fact you are so go away?”
Adam looked up at Kris and then turned to the guy, “Fuck off. Just because I let you suck my cock, doesn’t mean I give a shit about you. Why don’t you all give me some space? I’ll beckon when I want some. Now go.”
Kris watched Adam pushed them away. It was mean but flattering. Adam patted the seat next to him, “Come sit, my friend. I haven’t chatted with you yet.”
Kris laughed, “Yeah you were busy fighting off all the boys. Do you always have so many offers?”
“As a matter of fact, I do. So why not indulge? I already have a reputation for being a slut and the public already knows everything about me in bed. I really have nothing to lose.”
Kris could hear the bitterness in Adam’s tone and felt bad. Kris put his arm around Adam,
“I never heard that but then again I am from Arkansas. You were amazing in concert. Your music really isn’t my style but to hear your voice live was incredible. You deserve every bit of success you have. I loved it.”
Adam smiled and kissed Kris on the cheek, “You are really sweet. Now, I am going to stop being the kid who’s balloon popped and introduce you to hot women.” Adam stood up and pulled Kris over by some bitchy looking girls. As soon as they saw Adam their whole demeanor changed transforming them into the sweetest girls alive. Kris felt like puking from the hypocrisy. The music came on loud and the area near them became a makeshift dance floor. Adam grabbed Kris and turned to the girls,
“I’ll give him back in a minute.” Adam pulled Kris to dance with him. Kris wasn’t the greatest dancer but he was always willing. Adam, however, was a great dancer and could really move his hips. Adam put his arms on Kris shoulders and pulled him in close. Adam was rock hard and Kris froze. Adam giggled, “Relax, straight boy, I have plenty of twinks lined up for the night. I’m just having fun. A dance won’t make you gay.”
Kris wasn’t sure he believed the last statement because his body was responding to Adam. The song ended and Adam pulled him off the floor. A very glamorous woman came over and kissed Adam short on the lips,
“I thought you swore off fresh meat?” Kris realized by the deep voice it was a transvestite.
Adam laughed, “This is Kris and he is straight. He was just indulging me in a dance.” Adam turned to Kris, “This is Madge and she always has my number. I swore off virgins after my first tour. They get too emotional and always want more than one night. I don’t do boyfriends anymore. In fact, these days I try not to fuck people more than once.”
Adam’s words were very sobering. Kris just laughed awkwardly, “Good thing you are on tour and moving city to city.”
“Very true. Listen, tomorrow we rented a plane to tour the grand canyon. You want to come? We missed that attraction.”
“Sure.”
“Come by tomorrow at noon. I’m staying at this hotel just ask for Robbie Cobbie.”
Kris quirked a brow, “Robbie Cobbie?”
Adam giggled, “We have a running contest for who can come up with the stupidest alias.”
“Congratulations, I think you won.”
Kris noticed Adam checking out a very pretty boy, “Are you sure you want to waste a seat on me? You may meet someone better.”
“I am positive. I will get my fill tonight. Tomorrow, I want to hang out with my new buddy. Now, go have a good time, cute guy.” Adam kissed him on the lips and went by the pretty boy.
Kris watched as the two became acquainted quickly and walked out of the party together. Kris dismissed the pang of jealousy and joined his friends. He continued to party another hour and then went back to the hotel alone. He woke up at eleven noting a passed out Cale in the other bed. Kris left a note stating he would be out all day and headed to Adam’s hotel.
Kris went to the front desk and asked for Robbie Cobbie barely keeping a straight face. Reception gave him a key to a private elevator and Kris headed up to Adam’s room. Kris knocked. The pretty boy from the night before answered completely naked.
“You are not room service. What the fuck do you want?”
Adam sat up, “No he is not. He is my date this morning so you need to get dressed and get the fuck out of here.”
The boy looked at Kris and then back at Adam. He stroked himself, “Wouldn’t you rather go another round with me, lover?”
Adam stood up also naked. “Not really. Now, grab your shit and go.” Adam turned to Kris, “I’m just going to jump in the shower. Make yourself at home. We didn’t fuck on the couch.”
Kris felt bad for the guy Adam dismissed so coldly. That was until the guy turned to Kris,
“Don’t look so smug. After he fucks you, you will be thrown to the curb too. The good news is his cock more than makes up for his shitty personality.”
“I think Adam asked you to leave.”
The guy shrugged and left. Kris looked around and was impressed by the grandeur of the room. He had to chuckle at the thought of Adam waking up in his crappy Circus, Circus hotel room. Adam came out in a towel and smiled at Kris,
“You want some coffee, gorgeous?”
Kris spent another great day with Adam. They actually landed on the rim and hiked around for an hour before heading back. Once again they got along really well. Adam’s last show was that night and he was going to leave early in the morning. On the way back to the hotel Adam asked Kris if he wanted to go to the show again.
“Sure, I like your show much better than the crappy titty bars my friends keep frequenting.”
“Careful, breeder. So, you are going to go back to Arkansas tomorrow and do what?”
Over the course of the day, Kris had told Adam all the sordid details of his pathetic existence. Kris thought for a minute and became depressed, “I guess find another job. I think they are looking for a manager at the Pic and Save.”
Adam cringed, “I can’t have a friend of mine working at a Pic and Save. How would you like to come on tour? You can be the Cultural Events Coordinator. Your job will be to find out what cool stuff we can do in each town and take me there.”
Kris looked at Adam, “You are going to pay me to do that?”
Adam laughed, “No, but I’ll pay your way and give you spending money for us.”
Kris knew it was insane but his other options were too pathetic to contemplate.
“OK, but I only have enough clothes for five days.”
“Thank God for that. We will shop along the way. Welcome aboard, cute guy.” Adam kissed him on lips a little longer than before. Kris looked at Adam and realized he was attracted to him. Adam just smiled innocently and took out his cell phone. Adam rattled off instructions for Kris joining the tour.
