This one is for my good friend Jim. Thank you very, very much.
PART XIII
Our Internet café was called Café Insomnia. We had had the opportunity of seeing a sunset from the ample terrace that opened to the beach the day before; as the sun disappeared under the horizon, its last beam of light illuminating us, we had kissed passionately there. We had kept kissing until it was completely dark.
Two months had passed since we had arrived to Atlantida. We had bought three small apartments on a recycled building on Berreta Boulevard, in front of the sea. It was a very big and very old house that had been heavily reformed and divided into six apartments; three on the first floor, two on the second and one on the third. Alex and I owned the apartment on the third floor. The ones on the second floor were owned by Josh and Charon; Josh shared his with Frederick, who by then was his boyfriend.
The Café Insomnia was going to open for the first time that day, at nine o'clock in the morning. It was a hot and sunny Saturday, and the city was crowded by tourists, so nothing could go wrong. The café was strategically placed and undoubtedly had a perfect view of the beach and the sea from its terrace, something that we knew that most tourists liked.
We didn't need many employees. We could do ourselves most of the management, and Frederick could deal with the people, as the rest of us still had problems with Spanish. So, we only needed a three waiters, and someone to make some cakes and things like those. Alex did some things himself, like a strudel that he had made for the first day. I hadn't tried it yet, but it looked very inviting.
When we opened the front door, it became clear that the café had been a success. In minutes it was completely full. Surprisingly, the fact that the owners were a same-sex couple and an odd same-sex threesome didn't bother the clients.
We had a table for the five of us permanently reserved in a corner of the terrace. After a while, Alex told me to wait for him there, because he had to take care of something. In a couple of minutes, he appeared with a tray, carrying two large glasses of orange juice and the strudel that he had made.
'This one was for us' he said, as he sat down beside me 'I'll become fat...'
'I'd love you anyways' I told him. 'But I'd prefer you to stay in shape... I can't say that I don't like that hot bod of yours'
We kissed. I noticed a man looking at us with an expression of intense disgust on his face, but I didn't care. It didn't bother me, though: everybody in the city knew that we were gay, so if he didn't like us, I couldn't understand why he had decided to come to our café.
'Oooohhhh look at the lover boys...' Frederick said jokingly as Josh and him approached the table and sat down before us.
'Look at who's talking' I told him. 'If I remember well, I'm not the one that kissed another guy in front of his homophobic father'
'You remember well' he said with a devilish grin. 'It was me'
I could remember perfectly Frederick's father's expression when he saw his son passionately kissing Josh in the beach. His face had gone green, and he had left without saying anything. That had caused Fred to move out of his house, to Josh's apartment, since his father hadn't spoken to him again since the incident. Fred didn't seem very bothered by it, though. He had stated that he only needed us.
'Have you seen Charon?' Josh asked. 'I think he has met someone'
He discreetly pointed to where he was. The guy who was talking to Charon was at least eight inches shorter and probably about eighty pounds lighter than him. He had jet-black hair and bright green eyes, and wasn't so thin and fragile as he seemed to be standing beside my huge friend. He seemed to be about a year older than we were. He looked like a very pleasant person, and from the way they were talking, I could guess that it wouldn't be the last time they got together.
Soon after, Charon took his newfound friend to our table. Like all the bigger tables in the café, this one had six chairs around it, so we didn't have to bring another one for him. He introduced himself as Marcelo Montserrat as Fred invited him to sit down on Charon's second chair.
From the very first time Charon had seen that extra chair, he had joked about it being his second one. The thing was that his butt was huge, like the rest of him, and it barely fitted on most chairs.
It turned out that Marcelo was twenty years old. His accent was more notorious than Fred's, nevertheless it wasn't hard for him to communicate with us. His voice was soft and charming, and his big, bright green eyes were almost as cute as my Alex's. He told us that he was studying to become a lawyer at the University of Atlantida; he had just finished his first year.
I kept a close eye on the way that Charon and him looked at each other. Marcelo seemed fascinated by my friend, and Charon by him. After a while, they were paying little attention to the rest of us, and an hour or so after that, they left together, with the excuse of going to the beach.
They had just left when Fred made the first comment about Marcelo and Charon. It could not have described better what we all were thinking.
'There's something between those two' he said.
* * * * *
We closed the café at 10 PM. Our first day had been a total success, but it had left us so tired that when we arrived at our apartment, we undressed and went to bed. A minute after, I was sleeping in my lover's arms.
I woke up the following morning and found myself still in his arms. He was still sleeping, but there was a part of him that wasn't sleeping at all. That part of him tented his boxers and throbbed every time it brushed my body.
Carefully in order not to wake him up, I caressed it through his boxers. It jumped at the touch, and my lover boy moaned softly. I began gently stroking it, and after a short while Alex opened his cute gray eyes and looked at me. He was sleepy, but I could see the pleasure building up in his eyes.
'Hi, handsome' he said. 'I like how you woke me up'
'Hi sweetie' I told him, smiling mischievously.
I felt his hand on the back of my head, pulling me towards him and we kissed for the first time that day. It was a long, passionate kiss; I wanted it to last forever, but of course it came to an end. Or more accurately, to a beginning.
Alex rolled on top of me and pressed his manhood against my belly as he licked and lightly bit my neck.
'I want you' he whispered at my ear.
'Have me' I whispered back at his.
He lowered my boxers as I did the same with his. His member was so hard that I had trouble to take them off, but finally I succeeded. He straddled me and closed his eyes in ecstasy as I slowly stroked his tool. Soon after he began humping my hand and I had to stop in order to prevent him from cumming.
I closed my eyes as I felt my lover's warm mouth on my cock, and I moaned loudly as his tongue caressed the head, sending waves of pleasure throughout my body. I could feel his eagerness, like many times before; like that time when those girls had tried to get into our pants, in that beach that had never existed, except in Fred's mind or perhaps somewhere else out of the world where we lived.
'Mmmm... that feels really good... suck that cock Alex...' I groaned as I took charge and began slowly fucking my lover's gorgeous face. However, I didn't do it for a very long time. Instead, I pulled my meat out of his mouth and bent over him, kissing and licking him all over.
I licked his lower belly, teasing him. His engorged penis pressed against my cheek and dripped precum on my face, but I didn't pay any attention to it. He'd have to wait a little. Soon after I moved to his nice-sized, low-hanging balls: I toyed with them, licking them and taking them into my mouth. His manhood throbbed and pulsed before my eyes, a constant stream of clear liquid oozing out of it.
'Please, Mike... take it... I can't stand it any longer...' he begged, and finally I did as he wished. My moans had been very descriptive, but they were nothing compared to Alex's. He literally was screaming. I left his cock and kissed him as I stroked it, this time faster.
'I want this' I whispered hoarsely at his ear. 'I need to feel you inside me'
He lubed up the outside of my hole, and I opened up for him, feeling how he fingered me, first one finger, then two, until I was loose enough for him to enter me. It had been some time since the last time I had been the bottom.
He kissed me deeply as he entered me. His hard, warm meat felt so big inside me, and so I told him. I told him how much I loved him, and he replied that he would stay with me forever.
He made love to me, like he had done many times before. However, that time was like the first time. He was passionate, but tender and loving too. He didn't fuck me hard, he simply took me to previously unknown heights of pleasure only by sliding his manhood in and out of my love hole and by fondling me everywhere. Meanwhile, my hands roamed all over his body, feeling his warm, soft, smooth skin and the hard, tense muscles beneath it. I rubbed his pecs with both hands, tweaking the hard nipples as I did and making him emit soft grunts of ecstasy.
Our eyes were locked with each other's, and soon our lips and tongues were too. I was his and he was mine, and we'd stay like that forever. Nothing else mattered.
He was holding me tightly in his arms, my manhood rubbing against his defined abs, and our hard nipples poked against each other's bodies. I inhaled my lover's manly scent once more and closed my eyes again, letting him take complete control of my body. He broke the kiss and began talking dirty at my ear, turning me on even more.
'You like this, don't you?' he whispered. 'I know how much you like my big cock up your tight ass'
He began to pick up speed, and small beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He nibbled my ear lobe and gently bit my neck as he pressed me even tighter against him. We were one, and we were in heaven. My cock began pulsing; I had already got his abs all wet with my precum.
'Ooohhh yeah... your ass feels so good on my dick...' he groaned. 'I'm getting fucking close...'
He began thrusting harder into me. I was very close to cumming too, and I pressed my cock against his abdomen. A wave of pleasure came instantly from it.
'Alex... I'm gonna cum...' I managed to say. 'Cum in me... ooohhh fuck yeah! Aaaaahhhhh....!'
I bit his shoulder hard as I came. I felt my own warm cum as white volleys of it hit both of our bodies, and seconds after he screamed:
'Oh... Oh fuck... Here I go...! Ah. Ugh. Unnggghhh...!'
I felt a warm rush of liquid filling my love canal as my lover released his seed deep inside me. The look on his face was more descriptive than a thousand words. It was a look of sheer pleasure: his eyes closed, his expression relaxed and his mouth wide open. He fell on top of me, both of us panting. He stayed hard and inside me for a while, as we kissed passionately.
'Thanks' he whispered at my ear.
'You don't have to thank me' I told him. 'I'm all yours...'
'And I'm all yours too' he said. 'My sweet lover boy...'
We kissed again. Alex was such a sweetie, I thought as he explored my mouth with his tongue.
* * * * *
The café was even more crowded that day than the day before. Soon it became obvious that we would need more waiters. In fact, by then Fred had acted as a waiter three or four times.
'Look at them. They're like one' Josh said, discreetly pointing at Marcelo and Charon, who were sitting together, before our private table. 'Really, they look like Alex and you'
'I'm glad that Charon seems to have found someone to love. However, I think it will be hard for us to explain to Marcelo how we ended up here' I told him.
'All that you have to do is asking me' Fred said. 'If I say it, it's true. However, I don't think it will be necessary to explain anything. Trust me, Marcelo will understand'
I looked at Fred's dark brown eyes, and I saw that he knew what he was talking about.
'Fred, do you know something that we don't know?' I asked him.
'I think so...' he said mysteriously. 'You see, I haven't stopped writing'
Alex, Josh and I looked at each other. Then, very slowly, Alex began saying:
'So, is Marcelo...'
'...a character of one of my stories?' Fred finished the question, and smiled mischievously. 'Yes, he is. I thought that the poor Charon would want to have a boyfriend like the rest of us. So, I created one for him.
'And it was that easy?' I asked.
'Not really' was his answer. 'What happens is that I have talked to the Doorkeeper many times since we first met. He first contacted me the day after you came'
He made a pause, and looked at each of us, one after the other.
'Follow me' he said.
We followed him out of the café and into the condominium where we lived, that was only about a hundred yards from it. Soon after we were into the apartment he shared with Josh.
'There's something I have to show you' he said, as he looked for something deep inside a closet. 'Here it is' he added, as we saw something the color of brushed metal. It was a laptop computer, whose lid was closed then.
'The Doorkeeper gave this to me' he told us. 'Anything I write here would be considered by him instantly. I used this computer to write another story, this one very short. You can read it if you want'
He turned the computer on and opened a text document. I put the computer on my lap and the three of us began reading.
What Fred had written wasn't precisely a story. It was more like a fictional biography, that described Marcelo. The most important aspects of Marcelo Montserrat's life were defined there, as well as his physical appearance, his personality... and his fondness for big guys.
'I have to be careful with this computer' he said. 'In a certain sense, it's like Stephen King's “Word Processor of the Gods” - what you write with it has strong chances of coming true'
Suddenly, the computer made a sound very similar to the ringing of an old telephone, and a dialog box showed up on the screen. It said 'Jim is calling you'
'He always knows' Fred said. 'It's probably for you'
He clicked on the 'answer' button and a voice came out of the speakers.
'Hello Fred'
'Hi Jim... I suppose you know that Josh, Mike and Alex are here with me'
'Of course I know. Gregory can hear everything, although he doesn't have any ears. Is your computer working well?'
'Yeah, it is, although obviously I can't use it for writing my novel. Do you want to talk to the guys?'
'Yes, please'
'They can hear you now'
'OK. Alexander, Joshua, Michael. You all have briefly seen me; however, you're probably more familiar with my skinny friend Gregory. Do you like your new existence?'
We all said 'yes'.
'That's good. I just wanted to tell you that Marcelo is a good boy, and that he is really in love with your friend Charon. So don't worry, they will become boyfriends very soon, if they aren't by now. They are one for the other. Fred took good care of that'
Fred grinned again when the Doorkeeper said that.
'If you need to contact me, you all are always welcome to contact me through this computer. But now, I have to go. Other writers need me now. So, keep in touch, my young friends, and be happy.
'Bye' we said in unison before the call ended.
'Jim is a really nice guy' Fred said. 'You should talk to him more often. However, he has been busy these days, controlling some creatures that wanted to come out of a fantasy book. It's a hard work...
I could not do anything but to laugh when I thought of that relatively small and not too young man fighting against a dragon or something like that. However, he had to hide some secrets in order to be able to do his job.
When we returned to the café, we saw Marcelo and Charon kissing.
