“I can do that, cute guy.” Famous last words from the biggest bastard Kris had yet to befriend. Not more than two weeks later, Kris found himself standing across a room watching Adam Lambert trying to get into Justin Timberlake’s pants. Obviously, the guy did not fully embrace the concept of discretion.
Kris felt someone come up beside him, “If it’s any consolation, I am pretty sure Justin is completely straight.”
Kris turned to Tommy Joe Ratliff, “It really isn’t. He is never going to change, is he?”
“I don’t know. I think he is getting better but change takes time.”
Kris just rolled his eyes, “I think I’ll just go back to the hotel and maybe read a book. At least that might have a happy ending.”
Kris left the A-list party Adam had taken him to return to their hotel. They were in Miami for two shows. The tour would wrap up in six weeks and Kris was starting to become apprehensive about what he was going to do with the rest of his life. His parents were hardly going to welcome in back with open arms and he really had no desire to return to Conway. If he lasted the rest of the tour, he would have 20K and could move to any city and rent a small place while he looked for work. He had always wanted to live in LA but maybe he’d pick NY instead since he doubted things would work out with Adam.
Kris continued to day dream when Adam stormed into the room. “What the fuck, Kris? How could you just abandon me at a party? You didn’t even say goodbye.”
“I’m sorry you looked busy and I didn’t want cramp your style.”
Adam shook his head obviously not listening, “I had to spend twenty minutes looking for you only to learn you went back to the fucking hotel. That was so inconsiderate of you. Last I checked you were still in charge of entertaining me.”
Kris was not going to bite. Adam was trying to goad him but Kris didn’t have the spirit to fight, “I’m sorry you weren’t entertained. Next time, I’ll hire a call boy so you don’t strike out.”
Adam turned to Kris, “What the hell is that supposed to mean? First off, I don’t ‘strike out’. Ever. Second, if I wanted sex I have you. Isn’t that one of the perks of dating?”
Kris just started reading again. No, he was definitely not going to have a pointless discussion with Adam. Kris could smell he had been drinking and his eyes were a little glazed. A drunk!Adam was an irrational!Adam. Well, to be fair Adam wasn’t often all that rational or at least his logic didn’t quite make sense to normal people.
In typical Jekyll and Hyde fashion, Adam climbed in the bed and smiled, “OK, I forgive you. Now stop reading your boring book so we can fool around.”
“Adam, I have a headache. I’d rather just read a few more pages and call it a night.”
Adam looked at Kris with an expression of horror, “Are you turning me down?”
Kris sighed, “I am asking for a reprieve because I’m annoyed at you. What the fuck were you doing trying to seduce Justin Timberlake? If that was your plan, I would have stayed home.”
“It wasn’t my plan because I had no idea he was on the guest list. Besides, I wasn’t seducing him, I was flirting. I flirt a lot. It is just part of my personality.”
“Yeah so is being promiscuous but I thought you were working on that one.”
Adam stood up, “Fuck you. I really don’t appreciate you acting like an insane, jealous husband. We aren’t married and you agreed I didn’t have to be completely monogamous.”
“Yeah, and you agreed not to throw it in my face. I guess we both lied. Adam, can we just forget about it for tonight. I am sure I’ll eventually forgive you since apparently I have no self respect.”
“Ok, can I still have sex?”
“No.”
Adam stood up, “Fine, I am going to take a shower and pleasure myself but I if this keeps up I am definitely getting off the monogamy wagon.”
As if he had ever climbed aboard! Kris watched as Adam went in the bathroom and began to doubt himself. Adam had a point, if Kris stopped putting out Adam would definitely stray. Great now, he has me buying into an abusive relationship. Wonderful, how far down was rock-bottom?
Adam came out of the bathroom a few minutes later smelling like his lavender scented shower gel. He climbed into the bed naked and moved closer to Kris, “I’m sorry if I made you jealous. Justin is totally straight and I was just fucking with him. I wasn’t really trying to hook up with him. Besides, why would I do that when I have you?”
Kris hated himself because Adam’s manipulation was working. Kris looked at Adam, “You are just trying to get me to put out.”
“No, I am truly sorry you are hurt. I really like you and I want to make you happy. I do think if you put out you will be happier, though.” Adam smiled at Kris hopefully.
Kris broke and smiled back, “You are such an asshole, Adam Lambert.”
“I know, but I’m trying to be better.”
Adam started kissing Kris and touching him exactly the way Kris liked. Fuck it, make up sex is too good to pass up. Kris gave in to Adam’s advances. It really wasn’t fair that Adam was such a good lover and could turn on the charm like no other. However, as good as the night was, in the morning Kris couldn’t help but feel he had lost a little more self-respect. Adam was using him and he was enabling him. It wasn’t healthy.
Adam woke up, “Good morning, baby. I feel great.”
Kris plastered a fake smile on his face, “Well, that’s all that matters. You have a radio interview in an hour.”
Adam didn’t even seem to notice the sarcasm, “OK, and tonight is a show. Lucky you, I guess since I am busy you have the day off. What are you going to do?”
“I guess I’ll just hang around the pool and maybe workout. Isn’t that what kept men do?”
Adam looked at Kris, “Like you said, I have a radio interview. I don’t really have time to figure out why you are being an asshole this morning. I hope your day gets better.”
Adam kissed Kris on the cheek and went into the bathroom to shower. Kris’ jaw dropped open and he stood in shock for a few moments. Did Adam actually correctly interpret his mood and side step a scene? Not only didn’t Adam throw a Diva fit, he took the high road. Maybe he was changing. Kris also realized perhaps he was out of line with his statement since it wasn’t Adam’s fault he was a loser and had no real job. In the next six weeks, Kris needed to come up with a plan for when the tour was over. Being a kept man was definitely not an option especially because at the rate he was going, it wouldn’t likely be offered.
