Chapter 23 - Hollis
“Incredibly well,” I said in reply to Mac's how's-it-going question. “Joe's been living with me a month now and he couldn't be a better roommate. Clean, tidy, pays his share, always ready for sex. I couldn't ask for more. Except … And that doesn't even matter.”
“Except what? He calls you Hollie?”
I laughed, “God, no, nothing as bad as that. It's … he doesn't like getting fucked that much. He'll do it, but maybe not as often as I want. I always get the feeling he's enduring it, not enjoying it. He doesn't complain or anything; he's just not all in. On the other hand, it great when he's the top. I don't mind the ratio is about one to seven.”
“Have you told him?”
“Told him what? It's nothing to complain about when everything else is so perfect.”
“Uh-huh ...” Mac sounded skeptical.
“No, really. I think I might even … we haven't used the L word yet, but I'm really happy – like all the time. And so is he.”
“Have to say I've never seen you smiling so much.”
“Did I tell you about the conversation with his father?” Mac shook his head no. “It was right after he moved in. Joe called him and put the phone on speaker. 'What happened?' his dad asked. 'She threw me out. Caught me in flagrante.' 'AGAIN?' his dad said and then laughed; 'I can't tell you to keep it in your pants, not after my problems. So what now? You want me to remind her that YOU own the house?' 'No, I'm good. I'm living in Middleburg with my friend Hollis.' 'The guy she caught you with?' 'Yep, he's here now, listening.' 'Hi, Hollis,' says dad and I answered, 'Hey, Mr. Evans.' And he said 'Call me anything but that. My first name is Court.' And I said, 'Hey, Court.' And he said, 'Be nice to Joe; that's all I ask.' Then he said, 'Joe, you need any money?' Joe said no and he was sure his mother would soon forget the incident. 'She has TIAs,' he explained to me.”
Wow, sort of no-drama drama,” Mac observed.
“TIAs are transient ischemic attacks. Like little strokes that drive her batshit and then the next one wipes out her recent memory. It's like she resets every few weeks, at least that's how Joe explained it. Ground zero is when she and Court split. She goes back to that point and starts over.”
“Is that why they split up?”
“Mmmm … that and a LOT of infidelity, as Joe explained it. Court always had a chick on the side and now and then a dude. One of them he took away from Joe. Mom just wigged out at some point.”
“Hollis, nobody says 'wigged out' anymore,” Mac laughed.
“I do. I think the image is perfect,” Anthony Forza said.
“T … er, Anthomy, speak up more. I forgot you were there. Why are you on the floor again?”
“Hollis, don't distract him. He's assembling the chronology of our common fund holdings.”
“So anyway, that's the story of Joe's dad. I guess my roomie would have found a soft landing whether I took him in or not. So tell us, Anthony, how are you and George getting along?”
“Fine.”
“Fine?? That's it?”
“He liked the flow chart I made for payment processing. I've almost convinced him that it would be cheaper to do it in-house, rather than paying bank fees.”
“I think Hollis is asking about what you get up to on the side. Have to say I'm kinda curious myself,” Mac added.
“Well … er … nothing. We don't do anything on the side. Not even the couple of times I worked late and slept over. Professor Inglis said I might have some extra duties, the kind you're talking about, but George said no.”
“Wow, not like the old days around here. Tommy Lynn, our old boss, would have had you for breakfast, lunch, and dinner by now. So, Anthony, you were ok with Inglis's description of your working conditions?”
“I figured I could tolerate it. If I had to ...”
“Hmm … If you're feeling neglected, Mac or I could fill in for George.”
I was kidding but Anthony really perked up. “Really? I mean, really? You think Euie would be willing?”
“No Euie would not be willing,” Mac injected. I watched Anthony's enthusiasm fade. Fuckin' Euie. How does he do it? I didn't have to wait for Anthony's explanation.
“Euie's such a … hot dude. He just stands there and people fall in love with him. I watched the guy at the Subway almost faint like a teenaged chick at a Bieber concert when Euie ordered a pastrami sub.”
“Euie is amazing, but I have to tell you the guy at Subway faints over anybody with a dick,” Mac laughed. “If you feel the urge, he will probably do anything you want.”
“That's just it. I kind of never make the first move or the second. I … I just don't. Like I can hardly talk to Euie he makes me so nervous.”
“You're talking to us. Why is Euie so hard? You don't have any trouble talking to us?” Do I sound needy here?
“Y'all are more approachable. Not so perfect as Euie.”
“When you get to know Euie better, you will find he's totally human, has his own flaws, although I can't think of any right now, and is easy to be around,” Mac said.
Anthony just smiled. At which point my phone rang. It was Joe, saying get right over to Professor Inglis's house and wear my lacrosse uniform. It was urgent. I didn't know Inglis even had a house, although I guess he had to live somewhere.
I told Mac I had to leave, quickly changed, and drove faster than the speed limit allowed to Vint Hill Farms, nearWarrenton. It was close but not quite where the rich folk lived.
It was over in less than an hour and I went back to work still wearing my purple uniform. Mac looked up expectantly and Anthony looked on appreciatively. Nice to know somebody is still impressed with me.
“Fucking disaster,” I said. “I drove like mad to the Professor's house, I knocked, and Joe answered the door. 'Partial success with the professor's problem,' he informed me.”
“The Professor can't get it up,” Mac explained to Anthony whose eyes widened.
“ 'It works out that he gets a semi when he's with a student who mostly teases him. So that's a start,' Joe said. 'John …' 'John', I said. 'John Inglis,' Joe said as if everybody knew that. 'John thinks that if we participate this student will be more cooperative. So I was thinking that if you would let me fuck you with the kid watching, it would inspire him to do the same for John.'
“I looked over at John who nodded and said, 'But he's not here yet.' I told him I was a little pressed for time and he said we could get naked and tan our balls in the mean time. So there we were lined up in the sunlight coming through a double door to a porch when the kid arrived.
“ 'Wow,' the kid says checking out the selection. He quickly stripped and held his shorts in front of his cock. 'I like meeting people naked,' he says. 'It saves days of disappointment later.' John says, 'Hollis and Joe, this is …'
“The kid interrupts with, 'Countess Ashby de la Zouch' and pauses for drama. 'That's my drag name,' he says, 'or it would be if I were a drag queen … which I'm not … because how could I hide this?' And he drops the shorts with a gesture like Salome dropping the seventh veil. Joe gasped and the kid smiled simperingly.
“Ok, it was a big cock, but not as big as it looked because the kid was so skinny. Not just skinny but small-boned. He had the body of a ten year-old boy attached to a big, yeah, OK, VERY big cock.”
“ 'Scootch over, John,' he says to the Professor. 'I want to lie next to this cutie,' meaning Joe, who sounds dazed and says, 'I'm Joe, Countess.'
“COUNTESS!!!! I wanted to throw up. I added, 'I'm Hollis.' and the kid sneers, 'Of course you are,' barely looking at me. 'Do you want to hear how I first got fucked?' the kid asks.
“No,” I said.
“ 'It was Thanksgiving of my
Freshmen year. I wasn't going home, my parents were on a cruise. The university had all the people who were staying over the holidays move into one dorm to save money, I guess. The very first night the RA, a med student, zeroed in on me. I don't know how he picked me for his victim.'
“Wouldn't be hard to figure that out,” I said.
But that very first night he asked me to his room and said he had a problem maybe I could help with. It concerned giving a rectal exam. 'I just don't know what I'm looking for.' he said. Did I tell you he was a cutie? 'Would you mind if I gave you a rectal exam? Well!!! I hesitated about two seconds before he talked me into it. Things moved quickly after that. Finger in. Dick hard. Fucked. And cream pied. All in about two minutes. Before morning, I was totally fucked.'
“Partially fucked would be just putting the head in?” I tried to sound innocent.
“ 'No, silly. I mean I got fucked in every position imaginable. Up, down, sideways, riding, on the floor. I got a comprehensive fucking. The next night I saw another dude go into his room. I figured I had my one big chance, but the third night he had us both and we had each other. Who's next?'
“Joe spoke up. 'My first was nothing like that. A neighbor pulled my pants down and jacked me off. Time passed and we tried other stuff.'
“ 'Awesome story,' the kid says. 'Joe is getting me interested, how 'bout you Professor John? Any interest?' And he gropes John. 'No, I guess not.' So he half rolls in Joe's direction and says, 'Here, hold this.' I couldn't see exactly what was going on but Joe says, 'What is it?' And the kid says, 'What do you think?' and Joe says in a whisper, 'That's a big dick you have, Grandma.' And he follows up with, 'And getting bigger.' And the kid says, 'Probably not bigger. It doesn't really get much bigger, just harder.'
“ 'And what about this juicy fellow of yours?' the kid asks him. This time I can see and there's a big drop of pre-cum on Joe's tip. The kid licks it off and then licks, not kisses, just licks Joe's lips and says, 'I like to share the sugar.' And Joe is a little astonished but rock hard by now. And the kid proceeds to munch down on Joe.”
“Wow. Did you just sit and watch?” Anthony asked.
“What was I supposed to do? But it didn't end there. I heard a huge intake of breath and aked Joe what was going on. 'He's got a finger in me.' And before he finished the words he whines and wimpers almost like he's coming. And the kid says, 'I knew you'd like that. Guys with sensitive nipples always enjoy the ass-play.' And then the kid gasps. 'What?' Joe and I both asked.
“ 'The professor has got his groove back. He's into me.' And despite the story about the med student turning him into a bitch, the kid actually seems unhappy about getting fucked. So he goes back to work on Joe. At that point I decided fuck it and got dressed. The last thing I heard was the kid laughing and Joe asking what was so funny. 'Watching Hollis trying to stuff his stiffy into those tight purple shorts.'
“I was out of there. I don't know what happened next, but it didn't include me. Fuck it, I'm gonna go home and tan my balls.”
