The Legacy
Part 1
5 years after.
The streets were empty. Not even a soul. Not even a dog bark. Not even a bird . The sky was crystal clear. The leaves of the trees were shining green. It was a warm March afternoon.
At 5 o`clock the sound of an alarm could be heard three streets away. It was the alarm from a car. It was the only sound disturbing that quiet afternoon.
I was walking on my way home on a street where every house seemed so gray. Smoked walls, graffiti all over, garbage dumped near the sidewalks. A strong garlic smell hurt my nose when passing close to a window.
A guy passed me and I could hear him talking alone. He was referring to some woman "Darla" and how she left him for another man and he is so pissed off. I was less than 5 minutes away from my place when I heard someone yelling:
- Hey! Buddy! Do you have a cigarette?
I turned around and I put my hand inside my pocket reaching for the pack.
- Sure man. Here you are.
- Jamie! Holly shit! Jamie is it really you? Oh, shit man! It`s been like forever since we last talked. The guy in front of me seemed to know my name or me but I had no ideea who he was.
A tall guy in his 30`s, short black beard, long and shiny hair, sunglasses. A pair of semi tight jeans and a T-shirt. I was amused by the T-shirt. It was the M from Macdonalds but it said: "Masturbate. I`m loving it".
- Excuse me, do I know you? I replied
- What are you talking about? Hahahaha! Looks like you forgot where you went to college and who your friends were!
- Well, I`m sorry but I don`t seem to know who you are. Maybe we did attend the same college but this doesn`t mean...
- Cut the crap Jamie! Let`s just go and have a drink or a coffee or something. Man, I have so many to tell you!
- Well, I would love to grab a coffee but I really don`t know who you are...
In that moment he took off the sunglasses. I was amazed and shocked and surprised. I felt my knees becoming soft. Those beautiful eyes who looked at me, I could`ve recognized those eyes in a million.
- Hello there, roomy! It was SlimJim my room mate from the college i went to ..how many years ago? I just couldn`t remember. It all seemed so long ago.
- SlimJim! My friend! My room mate! How the hell are you, son of a bitch? Where have you been hiding? What have you been up to lately? What...
- How about that coffee Jamie? Let`s just go and sit somewhere and we can chat and tell stories.And you can ask how many questions you like.
- Right. I`m sorry, I`m just... I would never thought I will see you again in this lifetime.
We went in search for a nice warm and less populated caffeteria.
My mind flew backwards in the times when SlimJim was my friend, my room mate, my... Oh, it all seemed so long ago...After I graduated from college I signed a contract for an Accounting company here, in this darn city. The wage was way too important for me to refuse it. But that meant losing contact with all my friends, all my colleagues, everything... I lost contact with my past, my youth, my ..everything.I was about to marry once. After I started the work here I met this beautiful and gorgeous woman. After a few months of dating I thought of proposing her. Hell, I gave her the key to my apartment after 3 weeks of dating. She was so trustful. And beautiful. And understanding. It didn`t work out. Life with her was wonderful. We used to do a lot of things together. But I gave up any plan. Once in a while I would wake up next to her after a night of wild sex or just a romantic love making night with an emptiness in my stomach. An emptiness in my soul and in my heart. Something was missing. Something was not there. Something was not alright. For a long time I`ve denied my feelings. Or I didn`t want to understand them. But one morning I knew. I knew what was missing. I knew what I need to escape my boring routine life.
The caffeteria was a nice place. Only a few people were drinking their coffees at that hour. We took a sit at a table far away from others. We smiled at each other and we touched legs under the table. It was a great feeling meeting my old friend, my old room mate. I had so many questions to ask him but I didn`t know where to start. I just stood there and looked at him with a great happiness. He looked at me and smiled.
- What`s wrong Jamie? You`re not happy to meet an old friend?
- No, it`s not that, SlimJim. Not that at all. How can I say this? It`s just...shit, you know? It`s a big brown shit! Everything. My life, my job, this world! Let`s not talk about it. I`m just so happy to see you. Let me just look at you for a few minutes without saying anything, Can I?
- Of course Jamie. I am very happy to see you too after all these years.
I looked at the man in front of me. A tall beautiful man with a beautiful long hair and short facial hair. His face was shiny and the eyes were more gentle than ever.
After a few minutes of just staring at him, I finally found my courage and asked him:
- So, are you married?
- Ha ha! Jamie, we meet after almost 5 years and all you can ask me is that? Ask me anything! Not that! And no, I`m not married. I almost did once. You know, getting married and all. I was with this nice and wonderful girl. She was absolutely wonderful. We lived together for almost 15 months. Something was missing from my life Jamie! Something was so wrong. I felt like screaming my lungs out! It was such a horrible feeling. And I couldn`t do it. I couldn`t live like that. Something inside me was screaming! Something was missing from my life. For a long time I didn`t understand it but I did eventually and trust me, marriage? Is not for me...or for you...or for our old friends.
- Exactly! I replied. Exactly! I almost got married as well once...couldn`t do it. The same feeling. The same emptiness. Just couldn`t go ahead and hurt that poor girl. It wouldn`t have been fair to her.
- Tell me about your life Jamie. What was it that you did all these years?
Well, my life is boring. Or it was boring. I came here with work. I signed this contract with a company here. The wage was nice. I rent a nice place not far from here. After a few months I met a girl. We dated for almost one year and lived together for almost half. I was about to marry her but I couldn`t. I still live alone. And I`m still single. Every once in a while I use to go to this bar downtown. It`s a nice place and they are friendly with all people, no matter their sexuality. And I see two guys talking and touching their hands or touching their legs under the table and I feel excited. At first it felt like I forgot everything that happened all those college years. I couldn`t understand why I was so turned on by those guys` touchings. But after a while I remembered and understood. I miss the college years SlimJim! I miss those times so much! Being an adult is crap!
A guy in the far corner was staring at us. I noticed he was fixating us but I didn`t pay much attention. After a few minutes he got up and came to us. A young man with beautiful but careless hair, beautiful eyes, sad look.
Hey there, you two! I see that even after all these years you are still friends. Very nice.
Hi there. His look was familiar but I see so many faces that look familiar to me. Do we know you?
Oh, I thought you recognized me by now. I don`t think I`ve changed that much since we last saw each others. How long has it been? Five years? Oh, too long. It`s me! Floddr! Don`t you recognize me?
Floddr! You...you sexy thing! It`s really you! Oh, man, you did change! I could have met you on the streets and not recognize you! How the hell are you my friend? Where ave you been all these years?
Well guys, if you allow me to sit with you , I will tell you everything you want to know. He gently smiled to us as we let him know he is more than welcome to sit with us at the table.
He told us after he finished college he did some chemistry courses and got a degree. He was working now at a well known research center in his city and for now, work was all his life. He dated some guy in the past but didn`t work out well. He was living in a nice flat 5 minutes away from the center and he was still single.
So, I asked, what are you doing in this city? You SlimJim live miles away from here not to mention you Floddr!
I am here at a medical congress Floddr said. It will be tomorrow morning so I thought I should go and have a drink tonight. I have chosen this bar because one of the guys in the hotel I`m staying told me this is a nice friendly bar. And , while standing at my table with a guy I just met, there you are, you two coming in and I thought I was dreaming. This is why I didn`t have the guts to approach you earlier. SlimJim has changed a bit. That long hair and the short beard makes him unrecognizable and you, Jamie, well, you my old friend with your gray hair and sad look on your face...hmmm...I`ll say no more. What about you SlimJim?
Congrats mate on your chemistry degree and all! That has to be so nice. Well, after I finished college I went back to my hometown. I had several jobs from waiter in a restaurant to IT technician and other jobs I don`t want to mention right now. I could have left and search for better job but I couldn`t. You know, my boyfriend was home and I could`t leave him there. But , well, it just didn`t work out. We broke up last year and since then I`m single. Never thought of dating anyone , not just yet. I guess I`m still hurt by the ex relationship`s end.I came here because I`m working for a big company now. The wage is more than OK and they sent me here for a training program. I met this nice guy in the first days of training. He was the one who told me there is a nice friendly bar in this neighborhood and I said I should find it. While searching for the street I saw him (he pointed at me) and he looked so much like Jamie but I wasn`t sure it was him so I asked him a cigarette. When he turner around I knew for sure it was him, that it was my old room mate Jamie. And here we are, here, at this bar, talking after five long years...
We talked a lot that evening. We shared our stories, our past, our hopes for the future. After more than 3 hours I offered to show the guys my place. They accepted and we walked to my apartment. The feeling was more than can be said with words. I was so happy to walk along with my old friends, my old colleagues. I could have screamed my happiness but it wasn`t appropriate. My eyes were wet because of the tears that were about to fall. Tears of happiness.
Once in my apartment I offered them some drinks. They sit on the sofa in the living and I went to prepare a short snack. When I came back from the kitchen I had a great surprise. SlimJim and Floddr were already out of clothes, in their underwears. Their kiss was passionate while touching their every inch of skin. Slow and passionate kisses on the lips, on the cheeks, on the neck. They were enjoying themselves in a sexy game of lust and old, forgotten feelings.
They stopped and looked at me. I just stood there amazed and in the same time happy. It`s been so long since I last saw them naked and passionate. The image in my face was not only exciting but very touching too.
Hey there roomy! Don`t just stand there! Come and join us! We missed this so much! I bet you did too! Leave the snacks! We`re gonna need them after. They smiled at me and I left the snacks on the table. I approached them with my heart beating so fast. They received me in their arms with smiles on their faces. I saw sparkles of happiness in their eyes and I was having an euphoric feeling. I threw myself between them not thinking about anything else but the moments that were about to come, the things that were about to happen, the bodies that were about to unite, to be absorbed, to merge, to be forgotten by the outside world.
