Description: Homophobe Rob, suspects his friend Shawn is hiding the fact that he's gay. So he has decided to test him with the help of two female friends.
Can Shawn pass Rob's cruel test?
Rob's Test
I slammed the door shut, and took a deep calming breath, trying to recover from the insane evening I had just had to endure, all for the sake of keeping my sexuality hidden.
I had been invited over to have a few drinks and watch the game with a friend of mine from college. And despite being extremely attracted to his straight ass, I knew that was all we'd ever be.
At twenty-two, Rob had just come into his full height at a little over 6'1. His body was hard and lean from the countless hours he spent working out. His hair was the color of fresh corn, and his eyes were the color of deep sienna, with a mischievous glint that seemed to reflect the corners of his mouth.
I considered him as the better looking guy out of the two of us. Although I was no slouch myself, at least I like to think so. I'm blond, like him, but not quite as well built, although I am a little taller at 6'3. I didn't work out, but I fell lucky in the genetics department, like my father and two brothers, we Harpen men had naturally broad, muscular frames. My father's just turned fifty and he's still in a pretty good shape.
Rob was a good friend, most of the time, and was a good laugh to be around. But he's my eye candy, and that's all he'd ever be. Unfortunately, he's also pretty homophobic. It's difficult sometimes to just be around him, when he's in a certain mood.
Whenever he sees a guy he suspects of being a 'fag' on campus, or passing us by on the street, at a club, or on a TV show, he always has to say something mean and judgmental about them. He hasn't actually attacked anyone yet, that I know about, and I don't really think he would, but he's not shy about expressing his ignorant views.
He even suspects me. I guess I'm partly at fault for that. I never date, and I don't bring home chicks every weekend just to fuck, like he and a lot of the other guys usually did.
I also like to read a lot (although I keep some of the more obvious material hidden away from everyone else). I enjoy watching old Disney movies and shows. And because of this, Rob has made a few 'faggy' comments about me. It's never overtly aggressive or anything, but it still hurts to hear my friend speak that way about me.
And I've denied them every single time because I can't come out. I really can't. My family's even worse than Rob is, which might not sound possible, and I don't have anyone else in my social circle who I could turn to for support, if I did ever decide to come out. Some people in my life probably wouldn't care about it, but many others would outright disown me. Rob would probably kick my ass first and then disown me too.
So my life's just a faΓ§ade. I couldn't do the things I wanted to do and live my life the way I would like to. A least not without cutting everyone out of it and start afresh.
I sometimes fantasize about doing just that, before getting cold feet. I wouldn't even know where to begin if I had to start all over. I'm not the most confident person around, and I get nervous and anxious at the thought of being all alone.
Anyway, back to this evening. Rob and I were watching the game, we were currently working on our third beers, when the door bell buzzed.
"Get the door, will you, Shawn?" Rob asked me.
I left the couch, threw my empty can in the trash, and opened the door to Rob's apartment.
Standing at the door were two girls I'd seen around college once or twice, speaking to Rob before. But I didn't know them well enough to remember their names.
However, they seemed to know mine when the girl on the left said, "hi Shawn!" and both girls giggled a little. I had to fight against rolling my eyes at them. I found this sort of thing most annoying about some girls. I thought it was just high school girls who behaved this way, but apparently not.
Before I had the chance to say anything back, Rob stuck his head around the corner and told me to let the girls in.
The two girls were acting a little playful and silly as they made their way into the room. It looked like they'd been drinking a little, too.
"Jane, Bre," Rob began, "I think you've already met him, but this ugly mutt right here is Shawn."
I aimed to throw a punch at Rob's shoulder but missed when he dodged me.
"And this is Bre, and Jane," said Rob, smirking at me. He had a peculiar look on his face, I had no idea what it meant, but I soon would.
Jane was a short, curvy brunette with a killer smile. Bre was a tall, lean and attractive red head, with a small button nose and full lips
The girls had brought with them some drinks of their own, and Rob and I continued working on the new ones we'd just popped open.
As the evening went on, we were paying less attention to the game, and more attention to the girls. Bre struck up a conversation with me while Jane and Rob were getting cozy at the side of us.
A little too cozy if you asked me.
Jane was sitting on Rob's lap, currently trying to map the insides of his mouth with her tongue. And Rob was pinching and gripping her ass under the bottom her denim skirt, which was hitched a little above her hips.
I could see a bulge protruding between the two bodies, belonging to something very large and happy inside Rob's pants.
I gulped and looked up, and realized that Rob was staring back at me. I looked away quickly. And as I did so, something soft and warm connected with my mouth.
Bre had moved in to kiss me and I pulled away from her, out of instinct.
"Hmmhm, what's wrong, honey?" Bre asked me.
"N-nothing, I just wasn't expecting it," I replied.
Bre laughed and leaned back in to kiss me again and I turned away. "sorry, I'm just not up for it," I told her. "Not tonight."
Then I heard a snide voice to the side of me, the one belonging to Rob. "What's the matter, Harpen, not enough cock for you?"
"Fuck off, Rob, I'm not gay," I lied. I had little choice but to deny his accusation.
But he continued to taunt me regardless. "Bullshit Shawn. I never see you with a chick, and I've seen you checking out other guys while we've been out, hitting the clubs. I know you're a fucking fag, Harpen. Just admit it."
I replied through gritted teeth. "Fuck off, Rob, just because I'm not bringing a new skank home with me every night of the week, it doesn't mean I'm queer," I bit back.
"Then prove it!" He told me. "Go on! You have a beautiful woman sitting right there next to you, dying to have you all to herself, and yet you keep pushing her away like some homo."
"I told you, I'm not like that, I need to get to know someone first, bef--"
"You're such a fucking liar!" Rob said, interrupting me. "That's fairy talk! I wonder what your folks would say if they knew their son was a queer. And what Barry and Paul would say, when they find out that their little brother is an ass bandit."
fuck!
I could feel my heart thumping hard inside my chest. I wouldn't put it past Rob to have set this whole thing up just to see how I'd react. And I had no idea what I was going to do. I could just get up and leave, and then I'd lose my best friend, and once word had got around from these three, I'd probably lose the rest of my friends too.
And if it ever got back to my family, I'd be really screwed. And it would find its way back to them soon enough. Rob and Barry met up, occasionally, and went out drinking.
