Monti’s Freudian slip. “Why would the employee call him
Monti when his name was Eric?” Cameron asked himself. The statement caught
Cameron’s attention. Cameron was not about to let it slide, but he needed to figure
out the appropriate way to address it.
    The two shared more
conversation as they ate their food. The meal was coming to an end and the
server came back to ask if they needed anything else. Both Monti and Cameron
shook their heads no and requested the check. Monti was adamant about paying
for the bill and requested that the server bring one check. When the check
arrived, he quickly handed his credit card to the server before Cameron was
able to get his wallet out his back pocket.
    Monti was trying to
figure out how he was going to ask to spend more time with this sexy man. The
date was going well and he wanted to get to know Cameron sexually. He did know
that Cameron was a flight attendant and knew that sometimes he was gone from
the city for days at a time. It was cool because he would be a good guy for a ‘ friends
with benefits ’ situation. Monti thought Cameron had some other guys he was
seeing anyway, so Cameron was a challenge. Monti wanted to win this challenge. Monti
knew that he was not seeing anyone of substance after all the drama that he
just went through with his ex. Monti would remember hearing the closing of his jail
cell doors and the feeling of cold steel on his wrists when he thought about
the situation with his ex.
    “Montag…Montagu…Mr.
Burroughs, how do you pronounce your first name?” The server blew his cover. Cameron
raised his eyebrows hearing this information.
    “It is pronounced
Montague, but I go by Monti.” He said as he nervously took the check and filled
out the totals and a two-dollar tip.
    Cameron was observant
due to his time spent in the United States Marine Corps and in his career as a
flight attendant. He was trained to be aware of his surroundings and pay
attention to details. And two details in this picture were not adding up.
    “Montague? That is your
name?” Cameron asked not trying to make a scene.
    “Err…umm, yes that is
my name. People call me Monti for short.” He replied.
    “You told me your name
was Eric. All this time I have been calling you Eric. Why would you feel it was
necessary to lie about your name? Were you wanting something more substantial
than just a date with a guy?” Cameron asked.
    “Yes, I think you are a
good guy and I want to get to know you better. I just said Eric because we just
met and I did not know if you were some crazy dude.” Monti explained.
    “But we have talked for
some time and I have shared some pretty personal stuff…. why did you feel that
you should lie about who you were when we would meet eventually?” Cameron
asked. “What else are you not being truthful about?” Cameron asked.
    “Nothing, that’s it. Everything
else we talked about was straight up truth.” Monti said.
    Monti knew that he had
messed up. He knew that he should have come clean before they met in person. He
knew that Cameron did not like to deal with dishonest people based on their
previous conversations. In a slight panic, a bead of sweat formed on Monti’s
temple while he was telling his brain to think and find a way out of this
situation. He knew that he had to do something to salvage this date because he
had a burning in his pants that he wanted Cameron to take away. They had deep
and sexy conversations together and Monti wanted to play out some of those
verbal scenes physically with Cameron. Monti reached under the table and took Cameron’s
hand. “Hey Cameron, I want to tell you that I am sorry for not being upfront
and honest with you about my name.”
    “It makes me feel
uneasy that you would keep up this charade for so long.” Cameron said.
    “I didn’t know who
‘Cameron’ was about or anything, but after dinner and conversation, I knew you
were a good guy and I wanted more with you. I was honestly going to tell
