you
tonight.” Monti paused looking for some sign of forgiveness from Cameron. “Cameron,
can you find it in your heart to forgive me and get to know me better. Make the
decision to move forward or not, after you get to know me better. Ok?” Monti
smiled trying to let Cameron see the sincerity of his request.
    The voice in Cameron’s
head started to speak and say, “Get the hell out of here.” However, it was
drowned out by that smile. Though it was not perfect, it had what Cameron
needed to put him at ease. “Ok, I will forgive you this time but you can’t ever
lie to me, just be honest. I can deal with truth better than I can when I find
out a lie.” Cameron said. “And you better add some more money to that tip. Two
dollars on a fifty dollar check is not acceptable.”
    Monti added another six
dollars to the tip and they stood up from the table. They made their way to the
door. Monti held the door for Cameron as he walked through. “What a gentleman
he was.” Cameron thought. Yes, Cameron was a guy also but he too appreciated
chivalry. It did not diminish Cameron’s manhood by being on the receiving end
of Monti’s masculinity. They made small talk on the way back to their vehicles.
Once they got to Cameron’s car, Monti stopped and looked Cameron in the eyes.
    “Do you want this to
end now or should we extend this night somewhere else?” Monti asked.
    Cameron was caught off
guard by Monti’s question.

    “Did he just ask what I
think he did?” Cameron thought. “Who asks that? Was this chocolate man a
different kind from other guys Cameron met?” Cameron was instantly sucked in
but there still remained a silent pause in the conversation as Cameron searched
for a response. Did he want to seem eager or did he want to play hard to get?
    “Did I say something
wrong?” Monti thought as the uneasy silence played on. It was only a few
seconds but it seemed like an eternity. Cameron broke through Monti’s
uncertainty. “Sure, I would like to extend this night a little longer.” Cameron
said.
    Neither knew where they
should take this night. Cameron was working through a fresh breakup from a guy who
was very good to him. Their separation was not because of a lack of love, but
because of circumstance. Guy was a special man who put up with Cameron’s
immaturity and loved him in spite of it. Though Cameron was over a decade his
junior, he loved Guy because of his fearless embrace of who he was.
    Guy Salinas was a forty-six
year old Puerto Rican of African decent. Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, he still
had slight accent despite the many years living stateside. Most people think he
looks like he could be a baseball player at six feet even. He has a distinct
narrow nose that fit his face perfectly. He was just beginning to grey when he
and Cameron first met, and to Cameron, it was utterly sexy. He embraced
everything about himself and his evolution into the gay community. He had warm cocoa
brown eyes and skin that was colored by the Puerto Rican sun. His looks were
perfect on the screen and he made love to the camera every time he went to
work. Being an openly gay newscaster he had to keep a flawless appearance. Everywhere
that he and Cameron went, someone knew him. Cameron enjoyed the time they spent
together even going to Red Carpet events. Those were the good moments that they
shared. Their two and a half year relationship helped Cameron open up and
accept his sexuality without regard to what others thought.
    Monti would not admit to
most people, but he wanted to love and to be loved. He knew that he had to work
on freeing himself from the demons he had but he wanted Cameron tonight. He was
going to do what he had to do to get him. He thought if he could sex Cameron up
well, he would help him to forget his ex, and he could make Cameron a friend
with benefits. He had talked to Cameron on numerous occasions about Guy, who
lived the good life in San
