She looked at me like I was crazy. We wound up going to
dinner, had great conversation and enjoyed the movie in the park.
She’s still a good friend of mine.”
    Everyone collectively awes over his
story.
    I say, “See, Jack, you’re not as arrogant as
you want people to think.”
    “Um, ok. Thanks. I’ll take that as a
compliment I suppose.” He looks hurt by what I said. Shit, now I
feel bad.
    “I didn’t mean it like that. What I meant was
you’re a decent guy and you don’t let that side show very often.” I
pat his arm and ask if he wants another beer.

    The partying has wound down to just a few
people by Sunday early afternoon. I made brunch and everyone is
just relaxing in or by the pool. Jack shows up around three and the
last person leaves around four so it’s just he and I.
    “Are you ready to get pierced or did you
change your mind?” He asks.
    I jump up off the couch and tell him, “Nope.
Let me go to the bathroom and then I’ll be ready. You can set up in
my bedroom this time.”
    I head to my bathroom and freshen up when I
come out he’s got everything ready. He even picked the jewelry.
    Before I take off my panties he stops me and
asks, “Do you want to be pierced by Dr. Lawson or by Jack?”
    “What’s the difference?”
    He has a sheepish look on his face. “Well,
Dr. Lawson won’t ogle the goods but Jack will.”
    “Oh. Ah, um.” I’m stuttering because he just
threw me off. “How about the doctor does this, I’d feel more
comfortable.”
    “You got it.”
    Now I’m embarrassed to pull my panties down
and I’m stalling. “Sid, take your underwear off and lie down, it’ll
only take a minute.”
    “Okay.” I take my undies off and lie down.
He’s putting his gloves on and opening the packages. When he turns
around to pierce me he cusses and shuts his eyes for a second.
“Jack, are you okay?”
    “Yup. Just give me a second.” He opens his
eyes and apologizes. “I’m sorry, that wasn’t very professional of
me.”
    “It’s alright. Let’s get this done.”
    It was over in about a minute from start to
finish. I go to put my panties back on and Jack says, “You
shouldn’t wear lace panties. The piercing can get caught on the
material and make it uncomfortable and bleed.”
    I go to my dresser to find different panties
and some loose shorts to put on while he cleans everything up.
    We go back to the living room and I ask,
“Would you like to watch a movie?”
    “Not right now. I’d like to talk.” This makes
me nervous for some reason. We sit on the couch and I face him.
    He smiles at me and says, “I know I’ve been
teasing you about going out with me at work but I really would like
to take you on a date. We get along. Our work schedules are
similar. Why not just try it? Nothing ventured, nothing
gained.”
    “True, but what if it doesn’t go so well? We
still have to work with each other.”
    “Yes, but we’re both adults and, contrary to
popular belief, I can be professional.”
    That got a chuckle from me. “I don’t know,
Jack. That’s really the only thing holding me back. Can you promise
me a few things?”
    “What are they?”
    “First, I’d like to keep it to ourselves. I
don’t need to be gossiped about. Second, if it doesn’t go well I
want to stay professional about things. I don’t want to be written
up or transferred from the emergency department.”
    He looks me in the eyes with such sincerity
when he says, “I can promise those. But let’s not sabotage anything
before we have our first date by thinking it won’t go well.”
    I nod. “I can do that.”
    He smiles, grabs my hand and gives it a
squeeze. “How about that movie now?”
    “Sounds good to me.” I turn the television on
and we find a movie to watch. When I press the start button he
pulls me to him and I nestle into his chest. Damn, he smells
good.
