For the Love of a Man

Daniel

"Daniel, how was your last day of school?" Daniel's mom asked.

"It was great," replied Daniel as he rushed out the door to go meet Jane for a coffee.

Daniel was ready to see Jane. After spending months studying for school exams and doing class projects, Daniel and Jane finally were getting to see each other.

"You're late," said Jane with a smile on her face. "The first time i get to see you in 2 months and you're late."

"Sorry, but i had to go drop my stuff off at home," said Daniel. "So how was your day?" he asked.

"Well, I'm finally out of school so it was actually one of the greatest days of my life," she said.

"The feeling is mutual," said Daniel.

Just then, Jane got a text.

"Hey Daniel I gotta go. The store needs me. Apparently the guy on shelf stocking duty over turned a shelf so now i have to go help clean up. I can't wait until we can move in together and I can quit this stupid job," Jane said with an agitated tone.

Daniel finished his coffee and was going to throw it away. He turned to walk away from the trash and a beautiful man, about 18, walked into him and spilled coffee.

"I'm so sorry!" the man shouted in a panicky tone. "Let me get you some paper towels, and here you can take my shirt."

Suddenly he took his shirt off, revealing his toned chest and hard abs. I took his shirt and put it on.

"What's your name?" Daniel asked.

"David," he said.

"My name is Daniel," Daniel said to him. "Here. Come by my house later and pick up your shirt."

Daniel handed him a piece of paper with his address on it. David hugged Daniel and apologised again for the spill. He said he'd be by some time to get his shirt. Daniel went home and fell asleep, and for some odd reason, instead of dreaming about life with Jane, he was dreaming about life with David.
