Confessions of a Bachelor

CHAPTER 8

Steve had been busy with the expansion of their airline business. He was always in a meeting with the business partners for the finalization of the contract. Steve wanted to be involved in all aspects of his business that he was even present in the go-see activity in search of a model to endorse their new line of business.

Steve couldn’t help it when ladies fall head over heels in love with him. After all, he was the CEO of a prestigious company; he was rich, handsome, tall, and a bachelor. He was certainly a good catch.

One of the models presented to him was a daughter of one of their investors. When they were introduced, Margaret Smith kissed him lightly on his lips. Steve was used to being admired by ladies, but that was the first time a lady kissed her on the lips on their first meeting. And in the presence of her father, Mr. Bill Smith.

Mr. Smith was a long time investor of the Javier Group of Companies. He invested a fortune and owned the biggest share among the investors. When Mr. Smith introduced his daughter, Steve believed that he was only interested in giving her a chance to be selected as the endorser. But when the conversation progressed, they were already talking about marriage and having children in the future. Steve listened to them but was very careful in giving his answers not to offend Greg. They were never an item yet but he was already considerate of his feelings because he knew that he was important and special to Greg.

“Why don’t you and Margaret have dinner together so you can both have time to know each other better.” Mr. smith suggested.

“Hmm, I’m sorry but I already have plans tonight.”

“Come on, Steve, you can always cancel your meetings. I insist that you take her out to dinner tonight.” Mr. Smith sounded so serious and demanding that Steve knew right away that he couldn't escape from this.

“Alright, Mr. Smith, I’ll have it cancelled. Of course, I want to take Margaret to dinner.” He called Greg to come closer and whispered to him about the cancellation of dinner meeting.

Greg nodded then turned around and made a call. When he had confirmed the cancellation, he returned to Steve and told him about it.

“Steve, your dinner meeting has been cancelled. Is there anything else?” Greg announced.

Greg saw Margaret’s face lit up. Then he glanced at Mr. Smith and he was also smiling. But when he looked at Steve, he knew that he was not happy judging by the way his jawline moved and eyes fixated on something.

Steve flashed a smile before speaking again. “Thank you, Greg. You’ve done a good job. You may now go first, I’ll just call you later. I’ll drive myself home.” Steve replied to Greg.

Greg handed the car key to Steve then bowed his head. He turned to leave and thought to himself that it was okay, it was part of the job. Greg was trying to console himself.

“Okay Steve, I’ll leave her with you. Take care of my precious daughter.” Mr. Smith said.

“I will, Sir.”

When Mr. Smith left, Margaret turned to Steve and asked him sweetly with those fluttering long fake lashes and pouting seductively red lips.

“Where will you take me tonight, Steve.”

“To dinner, at a fine restaurant in a nearby hotel.”

“Oh, you’re so sweet, Steve. Let’s go.”

Steve arched his elbow allowing Margaret to hook her arms. Then they walked out of the building going to the hotel. They passed by Greg who was still in the lobby. He watched the two as they walked past him. He felt uneasy then asked himself silently. Why am I feeling this way? I used to see him with girls before. It should be fine whether he went with other girls. I should just accept it. I can never own him. Greg pretended to be fine then hailed a cab and went home.

When Greg alighted, he suddenly had a craving for cold beer. He went straight to the convenience store beside their condominium to buy some before going up to their unit.

“How much are these?” He placed six cans on the counter and a 1000-bill.

“Do you have smaller bill, Sir?” The cashier asked.

“Hmm, wait.” Greg searched his pocket but didn’t get any.

The man from behind suddenly spoke.

“Greg?” The man asked in a surprised tone.

Before Greg could speak, he gazed at the man’s face then suddenly realized that it was his college friend, Roger.

“Roger!” He blurted out.

The two were so happy and gave each other a quick hug.

“How are you? Do you live here?” Roger asked.

“Yeah. At the 15th floor of this condo.”

“Wow! You’re rich!” Roger knew that that condo was famous because it was owned by the Javier Group which was one of the leading developers in the country. Condominium development was only one of the businesses of the Javier Group of Companies.

“Well, sorry man, but I don’t own this. I work for the owner of this building and I’m staying with him.”

Roger was still amused knowing that Greg lived there. He wanted to see the interior of the units.

“How about you? Why are you here?” Greg asked Roger.

“I have some business somewhere here, I’m meeting a client but he suddenly postponed the meeting because of an emergency.”

“Excuse me.” The cashier called their attention.

“Oh, right. I’m sorry miss but I don’t have a smaller bill.” Greg said to the cashier.

Roger offered to pay.

“How much are those? I’ll pay first.”

“Really? Are you sure it’s okay?”

“Of course. Are you drinking all that by yourself?”

Greg thought that he didn’t want to tell a long story about sharing it with Steve when he comes home so he said yes.

“Yes. I used to drink lots before going to bed.”

“Alright. Let’s add some more and drink it together in your unit. Then you can pay me there.”

Greg was stunned for a few seconds but thought that it should be fine, Steve was not home anyway.

“Sure. No problem.” Greg agreed.

Roger was glad and took six more cans before paying everything at the counter.

Once inside the unit, Roger couldn’t stop being amazed. His face was in awe and he inspected all the furniture from living room to dining room and up to the kitchen.

“Wow, Greg. The son’s owner must be extremely rich!”

“Uh-huh.” Greg answered quickly.

“How come you came to know him?”

Greg came out from the kitchen holding two glasses and an ice bucket and placed it on the center table at the living room. Then he motioned for Roger to sit on the sofa. They started drinking then Greg told him the story on how he came to know the owner of Javier Group of Companies.

Meanwhile, at the hotel where Steve and Margaret went for dinner, they caught the attention of customers as soon as they entered the restaurant. Steve had to admit that they were both good-looking and they were a sight to behold. People thought that they were a celebrity couple. With Margaret’s height that almost matched the towering height of Steve, it was no wonder that people were stunned by their presence.

The waiter led them to their table, it was located near a glassed wall overlooking the night sky and the city lights. The place was right for dating couples. Then Steve suddenly thought to himself. Are we dating? No, I was just being polite to his dad. He assured himself.

Margaret asked Steve to order. Steve chose the menu and the wine to be served. He was used to this kind of place because his parents have trained him to bring their clients and investors to places like these. As a VIP client, he had free access to an executive room that offers all the luxury in the world. It was a first-class hotel.

Halfway to their dinner, Margaret started changing the topic from business to personal. She obviously liked Steve but Steve showed no interest on her. He just listened to her and answered questions as short as possible. He wanted to go home and spend time with Greg. Steve was stressed with so much work lately but found solace in their home because of Greg’s caring attitude toward him. Steve had been obsessed with Greg’s attention.

“Come on, you haven’t answered me yet.” Margaret was asking something personal but Steve was engrossed in his own thoughts and missed the question.

“I’m sorry. What was that again?”

“I said, how come you’re a bachelor when you can choose whoever you like with your status. Who wouldn’t want to be your woman?”

“Oh that. I really don’t have time to attend to personal affairs, I’m quite busy with work.”

“Don’t be too hard on yourself. Having woman in your life could be helpful. You can destress anytime and have fun. It could even make you more productive.”

Steve noticed that Margaret’s speech was beginning to slur. He knew that she was getting drunk.

“Are you alright? Can you hold your liquor?” Steve asked worriedly.

“Yeah, I’m fine. I’m sober.” She laughed loudly then emptied her glass in one gulp.

Steve knew that she was indeed drunk.

“I’ll take you home. Where do you live?”

Margaret just kept on smiling but didn’t give him an answer.

It would be embarrassing if he asked Mr. Smith of her address. He tried calling Greg because he might know Mr. Smith’s address. But Greg was not answering his call. When he checked the time, it was past ten in the evening. They’ve been here for three hours already. Greg must be sleeping by now. Steve decided to bring Margaret in his condo unit and made a mental note that in the future, if ever there will be events like this, he should ask a lady’s address first before drinking alcohol.

Red wine was just a mild drink for Steve. He can still drive despite having few glasses during dinner. He glanced at the rearview mirror and checked on Margaret who was sitting on the backseat. She was already sleeping and Steve heard her snore softly. Luckily, when they reached the condominium, Margaret walked when Steve urged her to walk. He supported her and draped her arms around his shoulders.

When he entered the unit, Steve was shocked to find Greg in the living room, sitting on the carpeted floor, eyes closed. A guy whom he didn’t recognize was sleeping on the sofa. They were obviously drunk based on the empty bottle of whiskey and empty cans of beer lying all over the place. Steve’s first reaction was to shout at Greg. But he held himself and thought that he should be careful not to hurt Greg.

Steve decided to bring Margaret to his room first. He carefully laid her down on the bed and removed her shoes. Then he pulled the blanket and covered her up to her neck. Steve went out again then woke Greg up. He was too drunk that he couldn’t even move an inch. Steve tried to lift him up then carried him to his room. He also laid him down carefully on the bed. Steve wondered how much they drank because Greg reeked of alcohol. He was mad at him. Then suddenly asked himself. Why am I mad? Doesn’t he have freedom to do what he wants? Why would I stop him from having fun? Then slowly, Steve realized that he was mad because he saw him with another man. He admitted to himself that he only wanted Greg’s attention for himself. He didn’t want Greg to fall for other men.

Because of that thought, he removed Greg’s clothes roughly wanting to wake him up and confront him. But Greg was dead drunk. He didn’t move when Steve lifted his shoulders and took off his shirt. He pulled down his pants and left his boxers on. But when he looked at his groin, he was tempted to touch him seeing how big it was even when under the briefs.

Steve prepared to lie down beside Greg. He decided to sleep beside him because Margaret was occupying his bed. He went to his room first to brush his teeth then prepared a lemon drink at the kitchen. He took it to Greg’s room and placed the glass on his bedside table. He carefully lay down beside Greg and was comforted by his warm body against him. He removed his clothes and thought that it was way warmer that way. Then he fell asleep.

Greg woke up with a headache. He groaned from pain and held on his head. He glanced at the table to look for his cellphone but instead, saw a glass of lemon drink. He thought that Steve must have put it there because he was drunk. He gulped the drink at once and instantly felt relieved of the hangover. Then, he suddenly remembered that he was in the living room drinking with his friend. How come he was already in his room? When he glanced on the other side, he saw Steve sleeping peacefully. And he didn’t have a shirt seeing that his chest was bare. Greg realized that they were both naked. He abruptly peeked under the sheets to see if they were fully naked. Greg heaved a sigh when he realized that they both have boxers on. But he was wondering why Steve was in his room.

He stood and went to the bathroom. After brushing his teeth and putting on clothes, he went out of the room and woke Roger up who was still on the living room sofa.

“Hey, Roger, wake up.” He tapped him on his shoulders.

“Huh? What time is it?” Roger suddenly woke up looking worried.

“It’s seven in the morning.”

“Oh right, I have a meeting at nine. Thank you for waking me up. I’d better be going.” Roger stood then collected his belongings.

“Here’s my payment for the beer.” Greg handed him some bills.

“Oh no, never mind. We had whiskey last night and I really enjoyed drinking with you.”

“Okay. If you say so.” Greg didn’t force him to accept his money. He sent Roger off then went to the kitchen to prepare their breakfast. While looking for something to eat, Greg was still wondering why Steve was in their room.

He got curious and peeked at Steve’s room. His hunch was right. Someone was in his room. He saw Margaret sprawled on his bed, still sound asleep. So he didn’t want to sleep with Margaret, that’s why. Greg concluded. He went back to the kitchen and cooked breakfast for the three of them. He beat the eggs and sliced onions and tomatoes. He fried some bacon and made a java rice out of the left-over last night. He couldn’t have dinner that’s why he was already starving when he smelled his own cooking. Margaret must have smelled it, too, that’s why she woke up and went straight to the kitchen.

“Good morning.” She greeted Greg.

“Hi, good morning, Ms. Margaret.”

“I wonder where Steve is?” Margaret asked.

“He’s still asleep. He’s in my room.”

Margaret nodded before answering. “I must be very drunk last night I didn’t know that he brought me here.”

“I thought so, too. I had no idea because I was already sleeping when you arrived.” Greg served the food on the plates. “Sit down. Have breakfast.”

Margaret obliged then ate the food Greg put on the table.

“Coffee or juice?” Greg asked.

“I’ll have juice. A cold one please.”

“Okay.” Greg took a box of orange juice from the fridge then poured it on a glass full of ice then gave it to Margaret.

“Thank you. Are you not eating?” She asked after taking a sip of the cold drink.

“I’ll eat with Steve.”

“Wow. Are you guys always like this?”

“What do you mean?”

“Eat together. Sleep together. You know, being always together.”

For a second, Greg hinted some mockery on her voice. But he wanted to just give her an honest answer.

“Yes, because we live together and I work for him as his assistant.”

“Well, that’s understandable. He’s fortunate to have you.”

“I’m being paid for this.” Was Greg’s curt answer.

Margaret looked at her watch then finished her food quickly and gulped her juice fast.

“Why? Drink slowly, you might get indigestion.”

“No, no, I have an appointment, I almost forgot!” While she was running inside Steve’s room to get her things, she was frantically waving her hands and mumbling words of thanks to Greg. She dashed off and was gone out of the unit in a flash.

Greg and Steve were alone again. Greg heard his stomach growl. I am really hungry but I should wait for Steve. I’ll try to wake him up.

When Greg entered his room, he saw that Steve was still sleeping and was no longer covered with a blanket. He saw his glory in its full morning erection and gasped at the sight. Greg knew that this was one thing that really made him realize his weakness. The one reason he decided to break off with Karen. The reason he chose to stay with Steve.

Slowly, Greg sat on the bed and stared at Steve’s member already peeking out his boxers. Greg thought that it would choke because of its hugeness underneath the briefs. He touched it and pulled the boxers down. Steve’s member snapped out, pointing upward. Greg cleared his throat. His mouth ran dry. He didn’t know what to do next being face to face with Steve’s mightiness.

Without thinking further, Greg grabbed him and stroke the hardened and long shaft slowly. It became harder and Greg couldn't stop himself. He suddenly put Steve's member inside his mouth. He tried hard to swallow as much as he can and then he sucked gently until it became even harder. His hand worked on his length while his tongue rolled on the tip already oozing with precum.

When all of a sudden, Greg felt Steve’s hands on his head. His hands were grabbing the sides of his head, pushing him deeper and guiding him as he moved his head up and down. Greg got worried for a while but his desire was stronger that he forgot about his worries and thought that all he ever wanted at that moment was to please Steve and make him c*m.
