New Lovers

I had just gotten home, tears flowing down my face. It was my boyfriend’s birthday, and I had bought him a cake. He didn’t seem too excited about his birthday, and told me not to make anything big. So, to keep things casual, I just bought a cake; a chocolate cake. His favorite. I just got home from his apartment, and the cake was still with me. I called him early today and told him I was going to visit him at his apartment, and he told me not to because he would be the one to come to my house. That seemed a little odd, but I didn’t question him.

Hours passed, unanswered phone calls. I was getting inpatient, so I decided to drop by and give him his cake to spend the rest of the birthday with him. I don’t know if it was the best or the worst choice. When I got there, I knocked at the door. No answer. I kept knocking, until he eventually opened the door. He looked at me in shock, “I had told you to wait at your house babe!” he said quickly. He was on a towel, sweaty. I told him I got tired of waiting so decided to just drop by. He said he had just came out of the shower and was going to go to my house, and then asked me to go there. “Since I’m already here, why don’t we simply stay here?” I asked innocently, then tried to get into the apartment. He stopped me.

“Wait while I get dressed” he said nervously. “Do so while I wait in the living room, silly” I replied with a smile. After that, I saw somebody inside the apartment. “Who is here?” I asked. “Just me” he said. “Doesn’t seem like so” I said back immediately. “Let me in. What are you hiding?” I was feeling slightly upset now. Eventually he let me in, and there I saw it. He had some naked dude on his sofa, I think I interrupted them. “Sorry for bothering” I said, leaving quickly with the cake. That’s how I found my boyfriend was cheating on me. He kept calling on me, but I did not want to reply. He texted me a million times, and I just replied “Happy Birthday”.

I could barely sleep, in between all the crying and feelings of anxiety. I just left the cake untouched. The following morning, I had to go to work. I was looking terrible, but had no time to care about that. I had a piece of cake for breakfast, then got ready to work. I worked at a photography agency. Nobody knew of my boyfriend there, so if somebody asked me why was I so gloomy, I wouldn’t know how to reply. I guess I’ll just say I had a bad night’s sleep.

I drove to work, slower than usual.  My energy and my focus was not with me at the moment, I could barely keep myself from crying. All I wanted to do was lay down. The day at the office was slow and boring, thankfully we didn’t get any calls to ask for our services. I mostly sat on my desk, viewing old photos and playing computer games. When lunch time came, all I had was a piece of cake. Since I had all that cake for myself, I may as well eat it quickly. Also, no phone calls or texts from my now ex-boyfriend. I see how much he cared.

During lunch, one of my coworkers sat by me. His name is Tyler, and he’s quite attractive. We usually only talk during lunch. “What’s up, Joseph? You seem quite down today” he asked me, while watching me eat. “Had a bad night’s sleep that is all.” I said almost instantly in a low voice. “Well, that’s too bad” he said. “Why is it bad?” I asked. “Since its Friday, I kind of thought of inviting you out tonight, we could go to the movies if you’d like.” I was surprised. I had noticed that Tyler would sometimes look at me, but I never imagined he would want to ask me out.

I was still hurt from the cheating I had found out the day prior, but I did not want to leave him down. “Um, sure that sounds good” I said to him. “Sweet, then when we leave here we can go straight to the cinema, what do you think?” he asked rather happily. “Sure, I could use a distraction.” I replied in a sad tone. He did not seem to mind it. I guess he was genuinely happy. And like that, I got a date just a day after breaking up with my boyfriend.

The rest of the day went by fast, and before long, it was time to leave. Tyler came to my desk, and he looked ready to leave. “This is a drag, but I don’t have a car. Mind driving?” He asked in a shy tone. “Sure, it’s nothing” I replied with a clear voice. I picked my stuff up then made my way to the exit with Tyler. We got into my car. I really didn’t mind driving our going out with Tyler for that matter, he was a good guy. “I’m relieved…” he said. “What for?” I asked with full curiosity. “I thought you weren’t into guys” he said, looking away. “Oh, that” I replied. “I didn’t know you were either” I added. He seemed comforted now.

“Well that is funny” he said while smiling. On the way to the cinema, we kept talking about many things, from work and beyond. I had no time to think about my ex. Tyler was rather entertaining. We got to the cinema, and he said he had already bought the tickets for the new shark movie. I was not very into movie news. “You had this planned, huh?” I said in a mocking tone. “I was just a bit excited” he replied confidently. This eagerness made me feel a bit happy.

The movie was not very good, but he seemed to enjoy it. He told me he had a passion for fishing, and the way they depicted the shark as a violent creature eating everything on the beach thrilled him. It made me happy to see he enjoyed it so much. It was a rather nice distraction, and made me think about how life goes on. After the movie was finished, we got to my car rather fast. “That was very good” Tyler said. He was quite naïve, or so I was just learning. “Let’s go to my house, I have a big cake there that we could eat.” Without any more words, we made way to my house.

“Nice house” he said as we walked in. We sat down to have a beer and some cake, and before long, we had already chugged a couple of beers and were drunk. We started to make out in my sofa, it seemed a little crazy but I liked it. “Unzip” I heard Tyler say, and I unzipped my pants. I was already hard from kissing, and he knew it. He grabbed my penis and started to suck on it, his naivety fading away as it made way for pleasure. After a few minutes, I told him to unzip his pants, and proceed to suck his dick too. We did the 69 on my sofa until we came, no penetration involved. Being drunk made the experience a bit better.

We then kissed, and went to my bedroom to lay down on bed. “That was good” I told him as we got into my bed. “Thanks for a very nice date” I added. “It was more than I expected” he said while blushing. Tyler looked really cute naked, and I enjoyed his company quite a lot. “You know, I broke up with my boyfriend just yesterday. That cake we ate was his present” I said, driven by the alcohol in my body. “For real? And you just went on a date with me?” he was quite shocked. “Yeah, but it is fine… made me see how life moves on. Thanks for being so sweet” I said calmly. “I’m sorry about that, that guy must be a real jerk to cheat on you” He said while looking at me in the eyes. “I guess it was something that had to happen”. We talked for a bit more, then we fell asleep.

The following day we walked into work together, but nobody made any questions. I was still sad about my boyfriend, I felt crushed to be honest. But after such a nice date, I realized that there were better guys out there. That, and Tyler was quite good at sex, despite his inexperience. I was already looking forward to my next date with him, and I could tell he was looking forward to a next date as well. It’s my boyfriend’s loss.
