Day To Day Life
So, there you have it, I reckon it is safe to say, I’ve got a boyfriend. And, I have been the dutiful boyfriend, not for any other reason but I haven’t wanted not to. It is easy when it is like that.
We go to gym together, we run together, we occasionally chase boys together. Once, oh, twice, we’ve caught them.
The cute Greek guy who was on a break from Woollies fruit and veg, with whom we flirted. All smiles and heavy breathing and promises of doing more at some stage.
The cute Dutch guy who came to the door to change our globes to LED as a government initiative. That was a circle jerk in Ben’s lounge room. I told the Dutch boy he looked like he had a big cock. Ben told him he should show us. He replied only if we showed him ours.
We have well paid jobs. We are the hip, gay couple, I guess. We live in the inner suburbs. We have cute dogs.
We work at the same law firm
“You know Ben’s wife worked here,” said Ben’s secretary Jesse Du Fray, to me on my first day.
“His girlfriend.”
“Everyone expected them to be the next to marry.”
“What can I say?”
“That was until he moved Amy out and the you in,” said Jesse.
“He moved me in?” I questioned.
“To his life.”
“I’ve known him for years, before he met Amy, actually. So, he was mine first… in away.”
“You think?”
I got the impression that Jesse was firmly in the Amy camp. Anti gay, perhaps? Am I reading too much into it? Did I need to try and win her over? Did I care? Was it incumbent upon me to educated Jesse in some way? Was I supposed to stick up for every gay boy in the world, at this moment?
Er!
We have matching suits. We wear each other’s clothes. My legal secretarys has pointed out when I am wearing a suit, she saw Ben wear.
“I wear his undies too,” I said.
“You are really naughty sometimes,” said Kaye. “You just know I’m going to get a mental picture.”
“Steady on old girl, you’ll do yourself a mischief.”
“Oh, Josh, darling, I travelled Europe with a rock band in the 1990s, I’m not sure you, or Ben, in your undies is going to do me a mischief.”
“Kaye you crack me up.”
“Just be warned, if I should ever be witness to you and Ben in your undies, I would simply hit the play button on the stripper music and start whistling.”
“And you’d be shocked if we stared stripping…”
“There’s your act for the xmas party,” said Kaye.
“Do you think the company is ready for that?”
“Ask the under 30’s secretaries.” Kaye smiled.
“What?”
“Those girls would want to see you two in your undies, let me tell you.”
And then I was coming back from a meeting with clients when I happened upon a secretary huddle and I overheard.
“They speak to each other in such a kind way,” said one legal secretary Mary-Lou Kabagny.
“You can tell they love each other,” said the other legal secretary Kitty Quandyke. “The way they drop their voices and clearly talk to each other as a couple.”
“He’s changed,” said Kaye. “I’ve never seen him like this before, and I’ve seen him in many states.
“Happy?” said Kitty Quandyke.
“Yes,” that is what I’d call it.
“That’s lovely,” said Mary-Lou.
“It is, you know,” said Kaye. “It is lovely.”
