How to be Naked in the City Without Being Noticed (day 75)

Day 75  I’ve grown accustomed to his face

 

    Another two weeks away.  Pete has stayed over quite a few times, so my loneliness and anxieties were abated, but I’m beginning to think that relationship has degraded to little more than booty calls.  Possible, previously unforeseen problem: Pete and Doug get along great; they’ve had quite a few dude dates with Pete’s Mets season passes.  So, are they going to remain friends, after we break up?  Doug is such a friendly guy, now I’m afraid all of my boyfriends are going to become his friends, and he’ll have a little collection of men that I’ve screwed, screwed over, and have been screwed over by.

    I miss him.  He’s my friend, that I see everyday.  He’s my old man, who’s there in the morning to steam up the bathroom before I use it, and who’s there at night, to say “goodnight” before I go to sleep.  He’s my eye candy, coming home after running, all sweaty in a tight t-shirt and shorts.  He’s my personal masseur, cook, and plumber.  He’s my helpless little boy, whose tie is always tied over his collar.  He’s the guy who’s always there.
