The Story Continues....
He felt sad for Sylvester and determined to help the young man back on his feet.
He was busy browsing through stacks of psychological books when a svelte beautiful lady came behind him and asked softly, “Working hard on your case? You want me to make some coffee for you?”
Julian looked up and smiled at the lady with delicate facial features, shook his head and replied, “You better run along, don’t be late for your flight.”
“Ok, dear. I will be stopping at Paris for 2 weeks, you better take good care of yourself when I am gone.”
The fair skinned lady walked out of the flat in her kebaya, she is an air stewardess with SIA and was a live-in girlfriend of Julian, known as Vernetta.
Julian had been living together with Vernetta in a downtown condominium for 4 years, marriage had never been on their mind as they still believe in being single and available would be a beneficial factor to their careers.
They don’t restrict each other social life though they know where to draw the line.
Julian, a desirable bachelor once named as Top 50 Most Desirable Males in a local magazine, never liked to flaunt his good looks or taut body.
He liked to be seen in t shirts and bermudas, sandals his favourite.
When at work, he would be in executive wears and led a healthy lifestyle.
He seemed so perfect to everyone and he thought so himself till the appearance of Sylvester, he had never felt so strongly towards any of his charges before.
He had counseled numerous wayward or suicidal teenagers, males and females, but he had never allowed himself to be affected by personal feelings.
He can’t help but be drawn to Sylvester bad boy good looks, the scars on his otherwise smooth tanned face, the hard well toned body.
The quiet yet determined but hurt soul. He wanted to protect Sylvester and show him the other aspects of life.
He shook his head and brought himself back to reality. “What was I thinking? How could I allow myself to get emotional?” He thought to himself.
Julian deliberately dressed down that day to visit Sylvester. Sylvester was pleasantly surprised when he saw Julian in polo t shirt and jeans.
He thought that Julian looked more dashing in this get up. They showed their best smiles to each other and started talking non stop once sat down.
Sylvester didn’t show any signs of sadness when he was told that none of his parents would be visiting him.
He said, “I expected it. They have never seen me as their family. I can never fit into their lives. They have their own families to take care of. So I think it is good that a clear line has been drawn.”
Julian blurted, “Don’t say such things. You still have lot of others who care about you.”
Sylvester asked point blankly, “I don’t have any good friends, all my friends are addicts. If I want a clean life, I have to break away from them. I don’t have anyone else.”
Julian immediately replied without thinking, “Nonsense! You have me.”
Both of them looked at each other in awkward silence and Julian could not believe what he had just said.
They kept quiet for a few minutes when a nurse came by to inform them that Sylvester will be able to discharge two days later.
Sylvester tried to break the silence after the nurse went off, “Where can I go when I discharge? I can’t go back to my rented flat. My room mate told me that the land lord had kicked us out after he found out about my drug overdose in the room. I don’t have anywhere to go.”
Julian put his hands subconsciously on Sylvester’s laps and said, “If you really have no where to go, you can stay at my place for the time being till maybe after we settle your case and when you are able to look for jobs.”
Sylvester followed Julian to the walk up apartment in Orchard, he had never been to a posh condominium before and he was in awe of everything he saw in sight.
Julian opened the door to his studio apartment and gestured Sylvester to enter.
When both of them got inside the apartment, Julian said apologetically, “It is a small place and there is only one room, so I would need you to sleep on the couch while you are here. Hope you don’t mind.”
Sylvester looked at Julian appreciatively and replied, “I have always sleeps on couches, no problem with that. I am very thankful to have you to take me in, not forgetting I am sleeping in high class couch!”
“Well, since you don’t mind, maybe you would like to take a shower and dump your clothes into the washing machine?” Julian smiled.
Julian directed Sylvester to the toilet in the room and pull out a towel from his drawer for Sylvester.
His heart skipped a beat when he turned around and saw Sylvester already stripped to his boxers.
He can’t help but look at the tanned hard chest and pecs of Sylvester and subconsciously shifted his focus onto the crotch area.
Sylvester cleared his throat and called out to Julian, “Hmm…is the towel for me?”
Julian regained his composure and nodded. Julian left the room to cook some noodles for Sylvester while the latter was taking his shower.
When Julian was almost done with the noodles, he saw Sylvester standing behind him in the small kitchen, clad only in his towel.
Beads of water dripping down the toned tanned bare body of Sylvester and with his wet floppy hair, he looked extremely different and sexy and Julian felt a stir in his broad shorts.
“Whoo. You startled me. What do you need?”
Sylvester replied sheepishly, “I don’t have any clean clothes to change into, can I borrow some of yours?”
Julian smiled and told him to take some from his wardrobe while he set the table ready for lunch.
Sylvester opened the steel full mirror wardrobe and was surprised to find lingerie and female clothes amid menswear.
He took one singlet and a pair of jogging shorts, and proceeded to take off his towel, butt facing the door when Julian appeared.
Sylvester jumped up a little when he heard Julian at the door and turned around, shorts in his hands, towel on the floor, and forgets all about his modesty in front of another guy.
Both of them looked at each other for a moment and looked away, and Julian said softly, “Lunch is ready. It’s just Maggie mee, you ok with that?”
Sylvester stood there, naked, facing Julian and managed a nod.
Julian’s face reddened and said softly, “Hmm..Maybe you can put on some clothes and join me at the table.”
Julian walked away, breathing hard, not sure why he felt that way. He had no problems with male nudity before and was extremely at ease with nude men in the gyms but he knew he was having a reaction to Sylvester toned nude body.
Sylvester, on the other hand, quickly put on the clothes and felt shy about showing his manhood to Julian.
He too had no qualms of showing off his toned built to others but yet he felt different this time, accidentally flashing at Julian.
