I had finally packed up my belongings. There was no rhyme or reason for the contents in each box but everything was finally boxed up and ready for the movers.
I had quit my job and spent much of the past two weeks either packing or staying at Rick's apartment while deciding when I wanted to start work at my new job with my friend Courtney. I enjoyed the lifestyle at Rick's - a beautiful, spacious apartment, super soft sheets, and plenty of wine. His bathroom alone was the size of my bedroom, if not bigger! In my mind this was well worth the trade off of attending to a cock nearly thirty years my senior.
I was treated to fancy dinners, new shoes, and had access to a delightful, and likely expensive, variety of wine he had collected. He even paid for the costs of moving my things to Courtney's. In return, I booked him tee times now and then, picked up some suits from the cleaners, and gave him blow jobs. Lots of blow jobs.
Sadly, after performing his favorite activity - blowing him while he watched golf - he informed me he was heading back to Maryland for the Summer. I gulped in more ways than one. This meant a return to peasant life and the working class. It was inevitable but stung nonetheless.
With Rick gone I spent the last night in my apartment by myself. Early in the morning the movers arrived and moved most of my belongings into a small moving truck. I had a few boxes of valuables - two vases, quite a bit of jewelry, and some sentimental items- which I did not trust with the movers. It wasn't a lot but Courtney had enlisted the help of her nineteen year old brother Jason and her cop friend Shawn.
It definitely didn't require four people so Court and I let the boys do all the work which was accomplished in two short trips to my car. It didn't give us much time to gossip.
"Look, I'm gonna be blunt Kel. I think Shawn would be really good for you. He's a great guy, but just not a great guy for me. Maybe, if he falls for someone new, he'll stop harassing me. That's where you come in."
On one hand I felt as though she was pawning him off on me. On the other hand he was super cute and seemingly a great guy that I would definitely consider dating.
"He's not aggressive though so you're probably going to have to make the first move to get this started."
I stored that information away for later.
Court and Jason climbed in her car and Shawn joined me in mine. We both followed the moving van to Courtney's condo.
"Soooo...Shawn, do you have a girlfriend?"
"No."
"Interesting. Don t you get lonely?"
"You're only lonely in West Palm Beach if you want to be."
Wasn't that the truth. Shawn barely talked the whole car ride despite me asking him numerous questions about literally everything.
He seemed relieved when we arrived at my new home. I walked in ahead of the movers in order to direct them where to place my belongings. My bedroom was one of two bedrooms on the upper level of this two floor condo. Upstairs there were two bedrooms and a full bath. Courtney's mother was a frequent visitor and stayed in the room to the left.
Downstairs was Courtney's master bedroom and master bath, the kitchen, and the living room. Courtney and I played interior decorator - directing the movers to arrange my furniture in my room just the way we wanted.
My bed rested against the far wall facing the door. I put a night stand and my alarm clock on the right side of my bed and my dresser over on the left. There was a small closet next to the dresser but not nearly big enough for all of my clothes. I tossed two of the large boxes containing my clothes into the closet. I'd tackle that tomorrow.
