I was hanging out late at the local coffee shop, reading and drinking a regular coffee. John the owner was working the night shift. He said goodbye to the another customer who left as the last person other than John there.
"Let me freshen up that cup" John said as he grabbed my cup and took it to fill it up. He brought it back full along with one for himself and sat in the chair next to me.
I closed my book and looked over at him. "Business going well?"
"Yes it is." John said. "It's a good location and there's a steady group that comes in so that I meet expenses and make enough to keep things going."
"I like it here," I told him. "You've got a nice atmosphere."
"It was fun setting it up." He said. John sipped his coffee. "I've noticed that you're by yourself lately."
"Yeah, last relationship ended. Kind of in between things right now." I answered. "How about yourself?"
"Same here." He replied. "It can be nice to have space by yourself for a while." John lives in the apartment above the shop. "Although when one gets horny it can be trying."
"I know what you mean there, John."
John glanced around. "You're an open minded chap, right? You know I'm gay?
"Yes." I answered.
"You ever fool around with guys?"
"You mean like sex?"
"Yes."
"Well," I paused. John was good looking, nice broad shoulders, brown hair, good hands. For a guy he wasn't too bad. I decided to play along. "Yes, I have a couple of times."
"Enjoy it?"
