Chapter 14
It had been a few weeks since I uploaded my latest video, which was the one where Steven fucked me in the bathroom of the building where his friend worked. The video was successful, but for some reason I had stopped. I wasn't sure why. Maybe it was fatigue or worry that my next video would not be as good as my previous ones. I loved doing the videos but I felt like I was going too fast. Maybe I needed to slow down a bit. So I took a little break. Steven and Xavier understood. I just wanted some time to think over what to do next. No matter what I did next, I knew it had to be good or at least as good as the previous videos.
On a warm day, I was in the basement with Xavier, when he had asked, "So what is your next video idea? They've all been pretty successful." It was the second time he asked me this in a week. It seemed he was eager to get back to it.
I shrugged and sat down on the bed across from him "I don't know yet. The latest one has become my most successful video. People are really into the public thing. So maybe another public video?"
"Like a theater? A store? A parking lot?" Xavier said, listing off examples.
"Maybe. Like I said 'I don't know,' I also don't want to burn myself out. I've been at it for a while now. And it's fun, but at the same time I don't want to become stale."
"True. I'd say take your time. But not too much time. You don't want people to start to forget you."
I held myself up on the bed with my arms and looked up at the ceiling. He was right. I shouldn't take too long. There were so many options. So many locations to do things like this. Although my last video was a public video, it was a staged one. Doing an actual public one would be risky. But worth a shot.
I looked at him and said, "You got a point, Xavier. Let me figure something out. The last video was staged and I'm not sure if I can pull it off again."
Xavier adjusted himself in his seat. "I hope you do soon. I know your viewers are itching for a new video."
I smiled, "You seem to be enjoying it."
Xavier grinned and said, "Well it is fun. It's sex after all. I may be enjoying it but I think Steven has gotten way too into it. He's the one that is in love with this."
"For sure. He's practically made a whole new persona. He's also done some research into it. Using their terminology. It's a bit crazy. I think he thinks he's the star of the videos."
The two of us laughed.
"So when are you planning to start making some money? You have some spare time now because Dick sold the shop."
A few weeks ago, Dick dropped the bomb on all of us that he was selling the location of the shop. At first I wasn't happy about it, but I quickly got over it. As it was his store and he also assured me that I still had a job. On top of that, he told me he would open the store back up somewhere closer to the house. Which was nice. Unfortunately, Dick would probably not be in one of my videos as the person he sold the store to was now his boyfriend. At first we thought Dick was seduced by him but it's quite clear the two are madly in love with one another. Which made me happy for Dick. He needed someone like Liam in his life.
As for making money off of this porn project. It was never my goal. It was just a fun idea that kind of took off. Steven really enjoyed it and so did Xavier. And I enjoyed the success of it all. The fact that so many people enjoyed looking at my videos. Turning it into a profit did come into my mind from time to time. I just didn't know how to go about it. As there were many avenues of doing so. The porn site I used did have a partnership program, but there were also donation programs where people could just donate. Even if it was just a dollar it would go a long way and would show me that my viewers were willing to pay for the content.
"I don't know about that yet." I began to say, "I know people like it but at the same time I kind of just want to have fun with it right now. Maybe in the future I can be a partner or even open up a donation account."
"I mean you can start with the latter and see what happens," Xavier suggested.
"We'll see."
Our conversation was cut short as the door to the basement swung open. Steven stood at the doorway for a brief second before galloping down the stairs wildly. He stopped right before us and greeted Xavier then turned to me, "Come on, loser! We have some learning to do!"
It seemed he was quite energized. Made me wonder how many energy drinks he had this morning.
I smiled, "Someone is eager for education," He looked very jumpy.
"I had some of Dick's coffee." Dick had started drinking espresso coffee so he could go jogging with Liam every morning.
I got off the bed and said, "Oh dear, I guess we should head out. Catch you later, Xavier."
"Have fun at school! Keep an eye out on Steven!" Xavier said.
Upstairs, before I could even ask Steven anything, he was out of the door. I grabbed my backpack and followed him. I didn't want him to run into the street and get hit by a car or something.
The two of us got to the train station and hopped on the train to campus. We sat at the very end of the train cart where it was mostly empty. Which was a bit of a shocker since it usually had a handful of people. Steven sat next to me staring out the window. His left leg wouldn't stop moving. I was starting to get worried about the man. I didn't want him to have a heart attack or something.
"Are you going to be okay?" I asked in a worried tone.
Steven turned to me and said, "Yeah! Why wouldn't I be?"
"Well, your leg won't stop moving."
He took notice and placed his hand on his knee to make it stop moving, "See, I made it stop."
I sighed and said, "How many cups of coffee did you have?"
"One cup from Dick's coffee stash. But it was too bitter so I put some creamer in it. Or at least I thought it was a creamer. It was all black. After like three of those. I went to the fridge and got some milk and sugar. "
My eyes widened in shock. Not only did he drink espresso coffee from the black can that Dick had, but the black creamer wasn't creamer. It was actually espresso shots.
I facepalmed, "The coffee itself is an espresso and you poured more of it in a syrup form. No wonder you're off the walls!
"Oops," he shook nervously, "I think I'll be okay though. I just have to burn it off, right?"
I shook my head, "You're going to crash hard!"
"I'll be okay," Steven repeated.
I stared at him as he looked out the window again. The man was well caffeinated. I knew he would be alright but he was hyper. Really hyper. I would definitely have to keep my eye on him. He might even crash during class.
When the train came to a complete stop, I heard Steven say "I'll race you to the campus!" Which was a quarter of a mile from the train stop, and he took off running.
It would've been easy for me to catch up as I used to do track and field but I honestly didn't want to run. So I let him take off. It would definitely help burn off some of the caffeine.
When I finally got to campus Steven was jogging in place, "What took you so long? You no longer fast?"
"No, I just didn't feel like running. We have different classes. Don't embarrass yourself too much.." and before I could continue, Steven was gone. He ran to his classroom. I sighed and went to mine.
The school day came to an end and it was actually a pretty chill day. It was mostly note taking while the teachers gave out their lectures. I hadn't been in contact with Steven since this morning. But I hadn't heard anything about a crazed lunatic on campus yet, meaning he was fine. For now.
After my last class, I wanted to get a start on some homework so I went to the campus library.
The campus library was pretty big. The center of it was this large rectangle shaped desk where the librarians were stationed. The library also had a second floor. But more importantly a lot of privacy. Which was good if you wanted to study in privacy. The library was big but it was small compared to the Los Angeles Central Library which had multiple floors. I went up to the second floor and sat at the very back of the floor. Behind some bookshelves. Which housed a row of books on geography. No one was in sight. I grabbed my book and notebook and quickly got to studying.
An hour flew by and I decided to take a little break. I checked my phone and saw no messages from Steven. I prayed he was alright or at least sleeping somewhere.
"Jason?" I heard a voice say. I quickly looked up from my phone and saw Alkibiades standing at the end of the aisle. He wore a white dress shirt that was tucked into his pants. Which showed how thin the man was. Most of the time I saw him he wore loose clothing or a robe. He looked good.
"Hey, it's been a while. How have you been, Alkibiades?" I said.
He smiled, "I've been great. How about you?"
"Great, just doing some studying. So what are you doing here?"
"Oh, I'm here with a friend," Alkibiades walked to the table and pulled out the chair across from me and said, "May I?"
"Sure," I closed my text book as he sat down.
Alkibiades brushed his hand through his wavy hair, "So I see you've picked up an extra activity."
Confused, I said, "What are you talking about?"
Alkibiades smiled, "Come on, Jason. I thought we agreed to stop lying?"
