I sat at the hotel bar sipping at a beer, I knew I had a headache coming on but maybe the beer would numb it.
"Hey watts" I heard a voice behind me smile I turned and saw townes with a whiskey he came over sitting at the bar beside me a still between us
"Hey towens" I nodded
"Haven't seen you around much"
"I haven't been around much"
"Last I spoke to you-" he joked
"You were in Moscow, With Beth."
"I was," he says sipping his drink "I know you wanted to be there with her"
"I wanted a lot of things…" I answered having a long sip of my drink finishing the bottle
"You'd think you hate her" he laughs
"I don't hate her, I'm incredibly happy for her, world championship… been a long time since any american held that, let alone someone as good as her, I'm happy for her, and… the small help I supplied in getting her there" I explain I was going to get another but he had finished his whiskey so he bought a round
"Too miss Elizabeth harmon, World Chess Champion" he laughs I laughed to clicking his glass with my bottle "I miss her being around"
"Yeah… I do too"
"She brought an elegance, a beauty to these things, without her these places are one big, boring, grey-"
"Sausage fest?"
"You could say so" he laughs
"She did, she always made these places seem more glamorous"
"Where is she nowadays anyway?"
"Kentucky." I answered "with Beltik"
"With Beltik." He laughs "That girl could have any boy in the world"
"And she takes him" I sighed having almost half my beer
"Oh all the boys in the world right" he laughs
"Yeah," I nodded
"Hey hun? Are you coming to dinner?" I heard another voice say, I looked and saw another guy in a little red suit jacket
"Yeah just a sec" he winked giving this guy a kiss and he Wandered off "sorry, date night" he laughs
"Yeah, you uhh you go" I told him "have fun"
"I am… sorry about it all watts" he says I tried to force the memory away, I didn't want to think about it "it's Alright you'll find a pretty girl" he says tapping my shoulder as he went off with his boyfriend, I sighed having more beer, I didn't want to think about it. I looked around the bar and small restaurant thinking my mind wandering to strange places. Of everything I've done… I'd never had a boyfriend, I couldn't imagine what it would be like, going to dinner with another man, or kissing another man, or… being intimate with another man. I had nothing against honest towens and his boyfriend are adorable, they work so well together and they're happy so who cares.
I wonder what it would be like having a boyfriend….
We could share clothes. I wouldn't have to deal with make up in my house. We could sit and drink beer while discussing sports. Wait, I hate sports. We could discuss chess! We could go to the movies and not watch romcoms. I had never really thought about it as an option for me but then again why not? It's not like I don't understand how a dick works, I mean I have one. By that logic I should be a good damn fucking expert! I understand a dick way better than I understand a Virgina or atleast I think I do.
