Sloan Parker's Three-Word Scenarios
Here's another one of my
three-word scenarios
(where I take three random words and write whatever
scenario comes to mind, using each word at least once.) These three words came from Merriam-Webster.com's
Word of the Day archive: voracious, hallmark,
illustrious.
My Roommate's Surprise (A Coming Out Story)
by Sloan Parker
"I'm gay."
Two words from my college
roommate, and I couldn't blink, much less speak, or
even keep my mouth from hanging open like I had a
spontaneous, uncontrollable drooling problem.
I had lived with him for the past two years, and
I'd had no idea.
I
forced down a swallow. "You're…"
"Gay." He
spoke the word slowly as if I might not understand
what it meant.
What a laugh. Everyone had
suspected I was gay long before I'd been certain of
it myself. When I'd worked up the courage to tell my
parents during Thanksgiving dinner four years ago,
my mom exhaled a long breath like she'd been waiting
for some horrible news instead, then said, "That's
not news to us, honey, and we are very proud of you.
Please pass the mashed potatoes."
So that was
that. I was gay, and I'd been the last person in my
life to realize it.
But Rex? The
illustrious twenty-eight-year-old tattoo artist
who, on a dare from a customer in his shop, filled
out an application for Harvard, and when he was
accepted, had decided to sell his shop and move to a
dorm on campus so he could have the full "college
experience."
Did that mean he wanted to do
the curious-college-gay-experiment thing too? Or was
he really telling me he already liked to fuck guys?
Rex had always had a voracious appetite
for women. And they for him. What with the tribal
tattoos covering his upper body and a physique that
had the art students begging him to drop his pants
for their Nude Drawings course. He was always dating
women. And fucking them.
Or so I'd thought.
Maybe I'd never really known him.
Maybe
these past two years had all been an act.
He
threw me his hallmark grin. The one that
showcased the dimples, even through the dark stubble
on his face. The one that came with the pointed look
in his eyes that said he was about to tease me about
my love of cock—which had been happening more and
more often as of late.
I was beginning to get
that I might've missed something about him after
all.
This time he didn't tease. He came to
me, grabbed me by the back of the neck, then kissed
me.
Not a slow, soft brush of lips, but a
passionate, wild kiss that ended with me panting,
sprawled out on my back across his bed, his body
pressing into mine in all the right places.
He pulled back and gave me that grin again as he
rubbed my cock through my jeans.
He'd
definitely done this before.
"Yeah," I said.
"You're gay."
And for the next hour and a
half he showed me just how gay.
