A small pile of crumpled bills and loose change sat in the middle of the coffee table in the living room. I rested my back against the couch while one of my roommates sat indian style on the other side of the table. Our other two roommates had already lost what little money they had brought to the table and had gone to bed, but Phil and I had continued to play for a while.
"I bet five bucks," Phil said as he pushed some of his sizable stack towards the center of the table. I glanced down at the dollar and half remaining of my original sixteen dollars, and then looked again at the three eights in my hand.
"I've only got a dollar fifty left, but I wanna call. This hand is MINE!"
"Guess you need some collateral, 'cause I can tell you that THIS hand is definitely mine!"
"What kind of collateral?"
"Well, I'd say you could put up your car, but I don't think that's worth five bucks," Phil laughed as he disparaged my rusted out '78 Volkswagen. "How about one of those famous massages they pay you so well for?"
Now there's the laugh. I worked part-time at the local health club doing massages on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays as part of an internship for my physical therapy degree, but the minimum wage they paid hardly took care of my spaghetti and cereal diet.
"Okay, easy bet for me. I call," I said as I laid down my set of eights.
"Read 'em and weep, as they say," he grinned as he turned over a straight, seven to jack.
"Dammit! I hate this game," I shouted as I banged the table and stood up. "Guess I owe you one," I said over my shoulder as I headed to the bathroom to relieve myself of the pressure several Bud Lights had created on my bladder.
I returned to the living room to find Phil stripped to his boxers, lying facedown on my portable massage table, which he'd picked up from its spot against the wall and spread out in the middle of the floor.
"What, now!?"
"No time like the present. Besides, I'm a little stiff from wrestling practice today and from sitting on that floor for three hours. And, we don't have class until eleven tomorrow. So whattaya say?"
I was a little tired, but truth to tell I'd been wanting to get my hands on Phil since he had moved in a month ago. Our previous roommate had graduated, and Phil had answered our ad from the bulletin board in one of the campus cafeterias. He was an excellent roommate, fairly studious and neat, and paid his portion of the bills on time. In addition, he had a great body- dark tan, well-defined muscles and an eight-pack I would kill for. He stood only five feet four, with green eyes and black hair, but his devilish smile and great personality kept plenty of ladies around the house. This was great for our other roommates, but not so much for me since I am gay. I'm out of the closet, at least with my friends, but I tried not to flaunt what little gay lifestyle I led.
I walked towards Phil, reaching for a little baby oil as I grasped his shoulders and started rubbing.
