Another bizzare day in the world of local government
I've come to the very real conclusion that my boss has either been abducted by aliens and an alien is currently residing in our office in his place while the real boss is being experimented on....or he's had a personality transfer...neither of which can be true...but something very bizzare has happened to the boss since he had a 'talk' or a 'bollocking' from his his boss on Friday evening. He's actually been nice...he's apologised for his behaviour...he's helpful...he's happy...he never shuts up talking...he's just bizzare in a bizzare kind of way! I'm not sure I like it...I don't know where I stand to be honest...none of know where we stand to be honest...confused!! LOL Anyway...job evaluation is steaadily progressing...have re-written my job description...my boss agreed with 100% (?!) and now its with the big boss for her to agree or not agree...then I can put in my appeal and try to fight for the money I've lost since being evaluated incorrectly!
Right...on to more important things me thinks...the next part of my epic tale of slash fiction featuring our lovely TT boys!! LOL I think I've nearly finished it as a story...think I know where its going....so as soon as its done...its going on the TT Slash site! Here we go:
One Night Stand / PART SIX of not sure / PG (some references to swearing / sex)
Howard quickly showered and tidied the apartment before heading out to the beach. He quickly dialled Gary’s number, but there was no answer so he wandered up and down the beach front dialling and re-dialling. Eventually Gary answered.
“I thought I made myself clear?” said Gary,
“What?” answered Howard, suddenly confused.
“I said ring me later, not 30 minutes later” Gary replied with a smirk.
“Oh” said Howard sadly, “its just…its just” he couldn’t speak and he thought he heard Gary sigh, this wasn’t going good…again.
“Look let me give you the hotel address and I’ll meet you in the bar” said Gary quickly realising that Howard was probably on the verge of tears again, explaining to Howard where the hotel was. “I’ll be there in a bit."
Howard sat at the bar, twirling his vodka and tonic in his hands, suddenly nervous, suddenly feeling worse than he had when he’d opened the door to Gary.
“Hey” said Gary brightly squeezing Howard’s bicep gently then ordering himself a diet coke. “You look a hell of lot better than the last time I saw you” he laughed as Howard nodded and agreed. “So how’ve you been?”
“Not good” said Howard with a long pause, “you never returned any of my calls and texts” he accused.
“I know” Gary replied, “mainly because of the tone of your texts and calls…they were pretty full on and sometimes pretty aggressive…and I wasn’t prepared to be in your life because you didn’t have Jason” he said sadly. “I wanted you to go find yourself…but in the end you’ve nearly destroyed yourself…and now I wish I’d returned your calls”.
“It was my life to destroy” said Howard looking at Gary, “I’m not sure where my heads at…I guess coming here wasn’t such a good idea in my state of mind…Ibiza’s hedonism on overdrive” he paused and looked from Gary to his drink then back again.
“Not one of your best decisions mate, that’s for sure” said Gary laughing. “So you’ve had a great time?”
“Ye its been ok” Howard replied quietly.
“The DJ gig went ok?”
“Ye it was really good” replied Howard, seeming to cheer up, “I really enjoyed the buzz…just wish I’d been on later in the night when it was busier…but it was a great starting point” he said as Gary nodded encouragement and said he was proud of him, making Howard blush, “I got a few more gigs out of it too”.
“Really? replied Gary, “that’s fantastic….I knew you had it in you”. They sat in silence for a few minutes, just glad to be in each others company again after the last couple of months. “So are we going to get some lunch because I’m starving” said Gary, “and you look like you could do with a good meal” he said laughing and prodding Howard’s stomach with his finger. They both laughed, “its good to hear you laugh again, Doug”.
They sat on the beach front and talked like the old days, only pausing to eat and drink. A few people stopped by for autographs and pictures, but Howard and Gary were concentrating so hard on each other, they didn’t hear half of the requests. They were still sat in the same bar by late evening.
“Well I know this is the party capital of the Med…but I’m bushed” said Gary with a smile, “so I’m going to love you and leave you to your next conquest and see you tomorrow”.
Howard jumped up quickly as Gary rose and asked for the bill. “Don’t go yet” said Howard, realising he was sounding clingy, “I mean you could come back to mine for a nightcap or just to chatter?” he asked hopefully.
“No” said Gary firmly, “I’m going to say goodnight now and leave you to it.”
“I don’t want to be left to it” said Howard softly as Gary paid the bill and started heading out of the bar, Howard trailing behind. They stood on the sea front, shuffling their feet. “Let me walk you home?” asked Howard.
Gary didn’t want him to walk him home, but he relented and they headed slowly back to Gary’s hotel. Neither spoke as they headed up in the lift to the 4th floor.
“Thanks for walking me home” said Gary quietly as they stood at Gary’s bedroom door.
“No coffee?” asked Howard.
“No” replied Gary.
“No tea?” asked Howard with a smile.
“No” said Gary with a smile, “no beer either…or vodka…or fruit juice”. Gary leant forward and kissed Howard gently on the cheek. “Goodnight Howard” he said opening the door, then pausing and looking back at him, “oh and Howard?” Howard looked up and took a step forward, “if you can’t be good on your way home…please be careful…for me?” said Gary reaching out and caressing Howard’s cheek gently.
Howard stood, his heart aching for something, for someone, as the door to Gary’s room closed and he stood staring, willing it to re-open. He rested his head against the door, trying to feel Gary on the other side, but after 10 minutes the door remained firmly shut and so with a heavy heart and loud sigh he headed back to his apartment.
He spotted a couple of his past conquests as he walked back to his apartment, they tried to persuade him to come to the bar, they tried to persuade him to have sex…but Howard had to stop destroying his life, had to start building his life again.
OK thats another part done and written...I think I know where its heading...maybe a couple more chapters and it'll be ready for uploading to the main TT slash site for further comments!! xx
