Hand fried sea salt crisps was on the packet, made from the finest British potatoes no less.
They call 'em chips in the US . I have so much become addicted eating them since I met Richard. Just as I have with Richard, the guy who appears on the back of the crisp packets announcing he was the guy who hand fried that particular packet., from potatoes grown in 'Daisy Field'.
I recognised him at a local Gay Pride party as the guy on the packet.
"That is you, isn't it?" I asked showing him the packet.
"Sure is" he replied with a glowing smile. "And they are exactly what it says on the packet, scrumptious and made with my own hands. You like them huh?"
"Sure do and now I have met you I feel there will be a connection every time I purchase and consume!
"I guess you don't have any vacancies do you. For making them I mean?"
"Are you out of work then erm what's your name?"
"David" I returned.
"Well David, you would have to dig your own potatoes from the field you are allocated, then wash and prepare and go through the whole process of what makes a real quality hand made crisp."
"Fine, I would like that, when can I start Richard?"
"Wow you are forward, David. I haven't said their is a vacancy yet!"
"Well is there?"
Richard looked thoughtful. His short wavy dark hair matching his handsome look.
"I guess I will give you a try on buttermilk field, see how you go, tomorrow morning at 9am okay?"
I felt very exited. And this only happened because I like hand fried crisps - and meeting delightful Richard too. I think he liked me as much as I did him. It was something about the way he looked at me with those devouring eyes, I felt a certain sensual numbness run down my spine when he invited me to try this buttermilk field.
I just felt this was going to develop into something more than just an employer/employee relationship. It was it me being too hopeful. It had been a long time since Danny dumped me and I had lost a lot of confidence. But with Richard seemingly taking an interest in me I felt a lot more confident already.
That night I dreamt of what Buttermilk field might look like. I imagined rows and rows of potato plants rising up to me with the tuba's dangling below them just waiting to be picked off the root and cleaned.
That thought developed and my fantasies were abound when, the potato tuba's changed to something else very sexual and highly tempting, reminding me of how it was with Danny and how he loved me to massage him underneath, as he spread his gorgeous thighs over me on the bed.
Then he lowered himself and had me sniff and suck him as he smothered me wholly until thumped his thigh to announce I need a breather!
But he really knew how to pump his lead into me afterwards.
I guess I have got it bad in missing those wonderful so beautiful things Danny and I achieved together.
It would be so good to form a brand new relationship. Especially with a guy like Richard whom I feel could pullout all the cobwebs that have built up since Danny.
But then he most probably already has a partner, I should think so because of his demise, he has everything in my view, although I guess I am putting him on a pedestal because he offered me a job, which I need so very much.
I settled for another slow massage, imagining the what was probably the impossible with Richard; like he was chasing me naked of all things in between the rows of potatoes in Buttermilk Field.
I planned to make it slow. So I could enjoy to the full as best I could doing it myself, which is never ever the same as your lover doing it for you, when you can never predict a next move.
Danny was so good at that, he found just the right jerking move and it was sheer heaven on earth, followed by his always beneficial and gratifying deep fuck.
But inevitably my passion and frustration quickly took me to the hilt and I was quickly done, not feeling anything behind, like when Danny used to awaken me with a wonderful stiff wanting between my butt, rearing up to go in the tunnel he called love. It was so good how he enticed me to do all those wonderful sensual things with him.
Next morning however was another day. The day I would be with Richard who would show me the ropes. My secret and wicked lust imagining that he would be showing me a lot more when we got acquainted..
On arrival Richard greeted me with his open smile and drove me to Buttermilk Field in his land rover.
"You have your uprooting machine right there David" he said pointing. "Get to digging about four rows, I will be back then to collect the potatoes and show you the next stage of production."
I loved his nice but firm dealing with me, now one of his employees. I was hoping it would be much more than that. He certainly gave me the impression - it was that look again, that lusty forthright glance he had given me yesterday, it had promise I felt sure and I would do everything to cultivate that.
I soon got to lift the potatoes and had a good seven sacks full by the time Richard returned to pick them and me up, top take me to the processing plant.
I was taken back that I turned out to be his one and only employee apart from a girl who did the office works and sales. He seemed to have a certain link with the girl called Patricia and I started to wonder if he had gay leanings. But surely attending a gay rights party he would. I hoped so else all my lusty hopes would be lost forever.
But maybe he was bisexual or something, that wouldn't be so bad, depending on how deep the relationship, if there was one with Pauline was.
Showing me how to cut and fry the slices of potato in order create crisps to the highest standard was interesting. He was scrupulous in producing a quality product and told me I would be expected to keep the standard achieved over a number of years.
"You are my first productive employee" he said enthusiastically, "So there will be high hopes for you if you meet the standard!"
