Chapter 37
A week later, Amy was on her way down the stairs when Jeff stepped out from his apartment. When he saw her he said, “Hi, Amy.”
“Hi Jeff.”
“Are going shopping?”
She giggled. “No, just for a walk, I have been sitting on my ass all day making reports.”
“Oh, what do you do for a living?”
“I work in a marketing company. What about you?”
“I’m retired. I used to be an actor.”
She was surprised. “Aren’t you a bit young to be retired?”
He locked his door and they walked down together. “I was in adult movies, and your career is pretty much over once you hit thirty.”
She held the door open for him and when he walked past her he said, “I hope I haven’t shocked you.”
“Well, I wasn’t expecting meeting a real porn actor today.”
He smiled at her, showing white even teeth. There was a sparkle in his eyes when he said, “what about dinner tonight? My place, let’s make it at seven.”
Amy was taken aback by the offer. She wasn’t sure if having dinner with an ex porn actor was such a good idea. He might think he was going to get some from her. Jeff must have known what she thought because he followed up with, “don’t worry. I am not going to try to seduce you, just dinner.”
“Sure.”
He turned left outside and Amy walked in the other direction. When she reached the local park she sat down on a bench and watched a group of guys playing basketball while she smoked a cigarette. Then she got up and walked back home.
When she sat down by her computer she had an idea. She wrote Jeff and porn actor in the search engine. She was surprised when she got several hits. She realized that there must be hundreds of actors with the same name, so she clicked on the images. She had to go back two pages before she found him. His porn name was Paul The Rimmer. She laughed out aloud when she realized he had done gay porn.
At seven she knocked on his door. She was wearing white shorts, sandals, and a black sleeveless top. She had put on a little makeup and wore her hair in a ponytail.
Jeff opened and said, “welcome, please come inside. Dinner is ready in a minute.”
She walked past him and recognized the layout of the apartment, it was exactly like her own.
“Have a seat in the living room. Do want a drink?”
“Sure, white wine, if you have.”
She sat down on a black leather sofa in front of a coffee table with several magazines on it. The walls were covered in movie posters and other memorabilia from Jeff’s days as an actor. She got up and looked closer at the posters. Some of them dated to the seventies but the majority were from the eighties and early nineties.
Jeff came out from the kitchen and gave her a glass.
“How many movies were you in?” she said.
“Hm, close to a hundred, I suppose.”
She went back to the sofa and Jeff sat down in a chair opposite her. “I must admit that when I came back from my walk I Googled you.”
He smiled at her. “I thought that you might.”
Amy felt how she blushed and took a sip from her wine. “I was a bit surprised when I found out that you were a gay actor. I’m sorry, but you don’t seem gay.”
“You are right, I’m not.”
Curiosity got the better of her and she said, “why do gay porn if you are not gay?”
“The money is better, and just so you know, many of the actors who do gay porn aren’t gay.”
“Wow, I had no idea. And how did you start, if I may ask?”
Jeff drank from his beer bottle and sighed. “I was a male stripper and a guy asked if I wanted to do porn, and at the time I needed more money so I did it. At first, it was straight sex, but when I found out that I could make more cash in gay porn I went down that road.”
Amy giggled. “Were you a top or bottom?”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
He gave her a sly grin. “Both, actually, but I prefer to be a top.”
He got up and went to the kitchen and began taking pots off the stove. Amy leaned back and drank from her glass. She and Jake had never had anal sex, but she had tried it with a previous boyfriend when she was in college. It had been painful and not repeated again. She couldn’t imagine being fucked in the ass for a living.
Jeff had made Roast with potatoes and they ate slowly talking about her career and his life as a retiree. He asked her if she had a boyfriend and she told him the short version of what had happened with Jake. Jeff had been married for several years but his wife had left him suddenly. At first, he had thought she had met someone else, but it had turned out that she had just stopped loving him. He spent half a year drunk and then decided to change his surroundings and had moved out of the city where they had lived.
Dessert was chocolate ice cream which Amy declined. Jeff had two scopes and after cleaning the table they went out on the balcony where Jeff served more wine and Amy lit a cigarette. She watched him from the corner of her eyes and realized she was wondering if he was a good lay. After all, he was a porn actor. She cleared her throat and said, “can I ask you a personal question?”
“Sure.”
“What is your favorite sex act?”
“Favourite what?”
Amy blushed. “I mean, what do you like the most when it comes to sex.”
He thought for a second and then said, “anal.”
She was surprised. “Really?”
“Yes.”
“OK, I can understand that you doing gay porn, but you said you had done straight porn also.”
“I like to have anal sex with women as much as with guys.”
“Oh.”
Jeff smiled when he saw the look on her face. She didn’t like anal or she had never tried it, he thought. “Don’t you?”
“Not really.”
“Have you tried it?”
The wine had gone to her head and she didn’t feel ashamed when she said, “one time only, and it hurt, a lot.”
“I see. I’m sorry about that. It shouldn’t you know if you do it right.”
Amy finished her wine and got up. “Thanks for a lovely evening but I have work tomorrow.”
He followed her to the door and when she opened it he said, “thanks for coming, and just so you know. If you feel like giving anal sex another try, let me know. No strings attached.”
She was so surprised at what he had said she hardly realized he had closed the door and she was alone in the corridor.
