Couples Camp
Chapter V
As Brad made his way down the steps and back to his dorm he couldn't help thinking about the video the class had just watched. It was amazingly erotic and loving for sure, but why was number eight so upset about it? I guess he doesn't get blowjobs from his girlfriend? Brad thought. I mean Brooke doesn't give me blow jobs quite like that but at least I get one every now and then. Maybe he just wishes he had that kind of loving relationship with his girlfriend? I mean that's why we are here right to develop a better relationship with our partners, right?
Brad got back to the dorm with his roommates and they all filed in and to their respective bunks. A few of the men stopped and talked to one another but most just quietly got undressed and got into bed for their nap. Brad was shocked that everyone just took their shorts off, showing no modesty at all and of course none had underwear either. He figured "when in Rome "and took his shorts off climbing into his bunk like everyone else. Brad was exhausted and quit honestly even though he never took naps in the middle of the afternoon this was a welcome break.
It didn't take long for Brad to doze off, but before he could he heard number eight slid into the lower bunk next to him and quietly weep like he had in class. It felt strange to him. On the one hand things seemed really weird but on the other hand things were already becoming sort of normal. I mean he was lying completely naked in a room with nine other men while his girlfriend Brooke was off having fun on the lake and he was ok with it. Earlier all he could do was think of getting to her, but now his focus was on his own situation more than anything else. Before he could think too much about it he was fast asleep.
Brad was woken up to the ringing of a screeching bell reverberating in the dorm. A voice came over the loud speaker hanging in the corner of the room. "Dinner service,"
Brad took his cue from the other men that all started getting up and quickly going to the bathroom to get ready for dinner. The bathroom was a buzz of activity with ten men all using the bathroom, and generally getting themselves, put together. Brad went to the sink and washed up and used the brush he found in the foot locker to fix his bed head. He saw all the other men going to the numbered lockers on the wall and retrieving what must have been their dinner attire. So he went to locker number ten to retrieve his clothes for the evening as well.
He had seen this before, Brooke had something like this, it looked like a skirt but it was shorts. Brad remembered she called it a Skort. There was a white button up shirt as well but it was more of a woman's style he thought then a man's. The buttons were on the opposite side like a woman's and the cut of the shirt made it fit tight to his sides but loose in the chest, as if it was leaving room for breasts he didn't have. They all looked a little weird, but then again, Brad thought when in Rome.
A few minutes later and they were all filing out and down the path towards the Club and Cantina. As they passed through the archway there was another green and tan dressed staff member directing everyone to the kitchen doors.
"Servers to the kitchen quickly please, we don't want to keep them waiting. "
As the men filed in each was directed to get their tray and begin service. Brad thought they were going to be going to dinner NOT serving dinner. He was disappointed at best but more than anything hungry. He hadn't had a bite all day and was looking forward to dinner.
"Table four," he heard abruptly directed at him as he was handed a tray with two drinks and a large shrimp cocktail on it.
Brad followed the other men filing out into the courtyard cantina and noticed that each table had a number on top of it prominently displayed. As he looked around for table four he noticed on the far end of the cantina sat his beautiful girlfriend. Completely forgetting about table four and his instructions he rushed over to where she sat.
"Brooke it's you." He exclaimed as he got to the table.
"Excuse me? It's Ma'am to you." A deep piercing voice demanded.
"I'm her boyfriend. "Brad explained .
"I don't care who you think you are, that is disrespectful and if you address her as anything other than Ma'am again I will knock you out." The large man said firmly as he stood up ready for a conflict.
Brad was shaken and knew this guy meant what he said. There was no doubt in Brad's mind this guy would knock him out and by the looks of it probably kill him with one punch.
"I'm sorry sir. I didn't mean any disrespect." Brad said knowing he better do everything he could to deescalate this situation.
"Dam good thing, now why don't you give her, her drink and apologize." The well-dressed Adonis said as he re took his seat.
"I'm sorry .........Ma'am?" Brad said with a hint of question in his voice. It felt weird addressing her as Ma'am and he was waiting for Brooke to come to his defense to explain he was her boyfriend. Brooke just looked at him with a mocking smile.
"Well thank you for the apology number ten." Was all she said as she re directed her gaze to the man she was seated with.
Brad was frozen in time. He was looking at Brooke and this man sitting together reaching across the table holding hands and having trouble processing what was happening. His chest was getting heavy and he could feel his face turn flush with surprise, and sadness at the sight of her with another.
Brad was lost in a world of despair. He had lost his girlfriend of five years. He loved her. He thought they would get married one day. In fact he was thinking earlier in the week he might ask her this weekend, and that is why he wanted to go somewhere romantic. Now he was witnessing her with another and he couldn't believe it. Was it too late? Did he already miss his opportunity with her?
Brad was snapped back to dinner service when he heard the man say.
"She has the margarita." In a commanding tone.
Carefully Brad took the drink and placed it on the table in front of Brooke. Brad looked back on the tray and took the other drink which appeared to be a whisky neat, and placed it on the table in front of the gentleman.
"Sir" was all Brad could think to say trying to be as polite as possible.
Brooke and her gentleman suitor continued holding each other's hand as they whispered back and forth to one another completely ignoring Brad. He felt completely insignificant, not even worth their attention. She acted as if she didn't even know him. Five years. Did five years mean nothing? He thought as he took the shrimp cocktail of the tray and placed it on the table between the two sweethearts. Brad could feel the tears welling up in his eyes. As he turned to walk away from the table he heard.
