I was hanging with my online buddy for a couple of hours, we were talking about sex as per usual and things were beginning to get a little hot and heavy. We were writing a story together about a couple of guys who were best friends, straight best friends, who ended up in bed together after an evening of partying. It started out as a simple massage and turned into much more than that, so much more than that. In a way, it seemed to reflect what it may be like if we ever chose to meet one another in real life.
I heard a knock at the door, a loud knock. At about the same time my buddy said that he had to sign off, real life was calling and all that went along with life in general. I said, "Later." to my friend, minimized the screen and headed downstairs to answer the door.
I swung the door open, not thinking anything of it; I mean, why would you, right? Standing before me were two guys, guys from my sordid past, big guys. One of them already had his foot stuck in the door, knowing that as soon as I eyeballed him, my reaction would be to close the door quickly.
In my recent past, I was involved in some drug use, using, as well as buying and selling, but I made a clean break of it. I didn't use anymore so had consequently given up distributing the unmentionables to friends and acquaintances alike, some of my so called 'clients' had decided to take offense to this and, consequently, hassled me about supplying them or 'hooking them up'.
"Look, Travis, I told you guys before. I don't have anything. I don't do it anymore, I quit man..."
My protests fell on deaf ears as Travis and his sidekick, a guy by the name of Mark, pushed their way inside my house. I heard the flick of the blade and knew they meant business. "Shit." I muttered under my breath, as the larger of the two men smiled coldly down at me.
"We don't believe you, Nick, we're coming in. We just wanna talk to you and have a look around. You've crossed us before so just let us do what we came here to do and the situation will be easier on everyone, especially you, Nick!"
This last line imparted directly into my ear as the blade from Travis's knife pressed dangerously close to my exposed throat.
"So, Nick, what were you doing before we arrived for our little visit?" quipped Mark as they directed me up the stairs into the main part of the house.
"Err, nothing man, just hanging on the computer, talking to a friend." I replied, silently thanking any deity that I had minimized my screen before heading downstairs.
Travis headed up the stairs, directly to where he assumed the office would be, "You shut the computer off Nick?"
"Yeah."
"We wouldn't want it on live view, now would we? Never know who could be watching or listening," Travis yelled from the office. I could hear him searching through my stuff, moving things around.
"Its not on live, Travis, I don't even have a camera here."
"Oh yeah? What about a live microphone feed?"
"Fuck, Travis, you said you just wanted to talk man, so let's talk."
I was beginning to feel more than a little apprehensive as Travis walked over to the computer, telling Mark to bring me into the office so we could 'talk' there. If Travis decided to maximize the screen I would be more than a little embarrassed and Travis and Mark would have a heyday.
"Mark, for fucks sake, let go man, I can walk by myself," I managed to say before I felt a heavy fist embed itself into my gut.
"Uuugh, fuck."
Mark led me to the office and shoved me down into the chair. Travis sat on the edge of the desk, smirking, the computer screen now maximized. Everything I had been saying to my buddy in large glaring words on the screen. I felt my stomach drop and cringed inwardly.
"So, Nick, what were you lookin' at on the computer?" a taunting Travis questioned loudly, looking back to the screen and getting a good look at the, obviously, male male sex action currently displayed.
"Not much, you know, just surfin' the net...why, what did you want to talk about?" I answered, desperately trying to take his attention away from the computer and focus it back on me.
"Hey, Nick, you a faggot now?"
