I was nineteen, shy, skinny and awkward. Needless to say I was still a virgin and everyone thought that I was simply sexless. But what they didn't know was the kind of thoughts that pounded through my head.
My dreams were filled with beautiful lads, with pretty faces and sexy, ripe red lips. I dreamed of redheads and blondes with snake hips and big, sparkling eyes. Yet too, my dreams were filled with big beefy builders showing their 'builders bums'. And I dreamed also of dark haired stocky lads with menacing-looking faces and chunky thighs and of dark, swarthy men with hairy arms and dark, mysterious eyes. Without my imagination I would have withered away because of loneliness but inside I was alive; I could have anyone that my heart desired and I did, night after night.
And yet, there comes a time when you have to get real. I could feel that my body needed sex. I needed the touch of a man's hands. I needed to know, for real, how it felt to surrender your body to a man's hungry urgency. But I knew that I was not going to get what I wanted here on the island. What I wanted most was someone my own age, someone that I could go out with and hold hands with and kiss and cuddle with. But I was so horny that I knew I would go down on my knees for a grizzly fifty year old if he so much as shook his cock at me. Can you actually die of lust, I wondered.
And then one day this guy walked into the shop I worked in and my heart skipped a beat. He was short and stocky, with bright ginger hair and the most amazing green eyes I had ever seen. He was just on the cusp of being pretty, soon to be a fully fledged handsome man. I noticed that he had just the slightest hint of fluff on his upper lip and chin but his pale cheeks were still smooth. His shapely lips were cherry red, matching the lips in my dreams hue for hue. He stood a good six inches shorter than me, making me feel protective of him and suddenly I got the weirdest feeling inside me. 'This is going to be my first boyfriend.' a voice inside my head was telling me.
I watched him browsing and when he turned around I couldn't help noticing the firm little bum filling out his snug jeans. Yes, I would have preferred him snake-hipped and a few pounds lighter but he was who he was and I was determined to enjoy all of him. I noticed him looking over at me once in a while and I was thinking 'Please God, don't let him be a shoplifter.' I smiled each time he looked over, hoping that I didn't look too goofy or crazed. I mean, who teaches you these things? How is a guy supposed to know how to flirt with another dude? Straight guys have a huge support network but I grew up thinking that I was the only gay guy in Scotland, let alone on the island.
And then he came over and asked a question about a product. I tried to sound knowledgeable but my heart was pounding away inside my ribcage and my mouth was so dry I could hardly speak. He decided he would buy it and I rang up the sale. And now my elation was dashed; our moment was over and soon he would walk out of my life for good.
'Thanks,' he said as he took his change from me 'perhaps I'll see you around.'
'Well, you know where to find me.' I replied.
'Yeah.' he said, then added 'I'm looking for a job so if you know of anything going...'
I couldn't believe my luck! Just that morning the man who owned the store next door asked me if I knew of anyone reliable. I had no idea if my red-head was reliable or not but I would big him up to the stars if I had to.
'I do know of a job vacancy,' I told him 'so if you give me a contact number I'll speak to the guy and let you know what he says.'
'Oh wow!' he replied. 'If I get that job I'm taking you out for a slap-up meal.'
I was tripping, floating away in a cotton-candy cloud when I went to see the owner of the shop next door an hour later to tell him I knew someone who needed a job. I explained to him that Hamish was twenty and had recently moved to the main island to try and find work. Hamish could have been from Mars, as far as he was concerned. All he wanted to know was when Hamish could start.
My hands were shaking when I called Hamish's number. He couldn't believe the good news and told me to tell the man he would be there first thing the next day. I went into the shop the next day during my lunch break and Hamish was as pleased as punch and as handsome as fuck in his best clothes.
'What are you doing Friday night?' he asked me.
'Nothing.' I replied.
'Then you're coming to the pub with me.' he announced.
My knees just about held out enough for me to get back to my own job. I couldn't believe that I had a date, well...a little man-date. I couldn't wait for Friday to roll around so I could spend some quality time alone with Hamish. Just the sound of his name rolling off my tongue was enough to make me hard and over the next two nights I wanked so many times that my cock ached. The poor thing was just about rubbed raw so Thursday I rested it just on the off chance that it might see some action on Friday. But who was I kidding? There was just a certain way that Hamish had about him that told me that he was straight.
Still, that didn't stop me feeling on top of the world when at last we closed up the shop on Friday evening. I stepped outside to find Hamish waiting for me. I don't quite know how to describe the feeling that washed over me. I mean, how keen was he! Even if he was straight he sure knew how to make a guy's heart flutter. This little ginger stud muffin was pushing all the right buttons and I didn't feel quite so geeky and isolated anymore. I had a friend! A hot little dude with a handsome, sweet face and a cute little bum. I almost had a boner right there on the street!
'I thought we could go and have a couple of beers and then a bite to eat.' he said.
'Sure.' I replied, trying to sound casual.
If only he know what I wanted to eat. If he knew how much I wanted to unbutton his shirt and pull it out of those tight little trousers, how much I wanted to stroke his chest and kiss his nipples. And did Hamish know how I longed to drop down to my knees and tug on his trousers and undies until at last that little red bush lay exposed to my gaze. Would he be shocked if he knew how I longed to inhale the scent of his balls and to take his cock in my mouth and peel back his foreskin with my tongue? We reached a narrow strip of pavement and I let him walk in front of me so I could watch his firm, full bum bouncing around in his trousers. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! This little dude was off the scale of hotness and he was about to give me a heart attack.
We got to the pub and Hamish ordered two pints of ale and found us a table. I liked the fact that it was in a corner, away from the other people in the pub. I sat with my back to the rest of the pub so that no-one could see me drooling over Hamish.
'So, do you have a boyfriend?' he asked me.
'How did you know that's what I'm into?' I asked him.
'I can see the way you look at me.' he replied.
Damn! Had I been too obvious?
