It was Esteban Julio Ricardo Montoya de la Rosa Ramírez's first time in Boston. He was a poor immigrant from Peru searching for a job in the United States, where he and his family hoped for a new start. He applied to fast food restaurants, gas stations, and even janitorial positions. Sadly no one would give him a job. He found work selling hot dogs in the city. He didn't like the way he was living.
That is until he applied to "The Tipton" hotel. He wasn't very hopeful as he went to the interview, but he figured he should take a chance.
When he went to the hotel he was amazed at its size. It was much bigger than other hotels in Boston, as it was owned by the famous Wilfred Tipton, a wealthy businessman whose daughter even lived at "The Tipton". It was simply spectacular.
He was very nervous. He needed a job and another rejection would really hurt. He had to be at the best of his behavior at his interview.
The interview was located in one of the conference rooms of the hotel. He had to wait outside as others were being interviewed. The wait felt so long. He was losing more and more hope as time went on, until finally, a secretary said, "Esteban Julio Ricardo Montoya de la Rosa Ramírez, Mr. Moseby will see you now".
Esteban got up and opened the door. When he saw Mr. Moseby, his heart started beating fast and his face turned red, and it wasn't from being nervous. To Esteban, Mr. Moseby was the most attractive man he's ever seen. Dark, short, and bald...what else could you want in a man?
For his whole life Esteban had been living a lie. He wasn't straight. He had known since he was young that he was gay, but, living in Peru, he didn't feel as if he'd be accepted, so he kept it a secret. He secretly hoped that moving to America would allow him to be his true self and settle down with a nice man.
As Esteban walked towards Mr. Moseby, he got more and more shook. He felt butterflies in his stomach. He never felt like this before.
Finally, when Esteban got to Mr. Moseby he greeted him and shook his hand. It was soft, he obviously moisturized a lot. When he sat down he tried to compose himself but he just couldn't stop smiling. Mr. Moseby noticed this, and couldn't stop smiling either.
What Esteban didn't know was that Mr. Moseby too, had been living a lie. He had been in the closet all of his life, avoiding any woman and questions about relationships by saying he was "too focused on work for a relationship". Mr. Moseby had always been into Hispanic men, and was thrilled when he saw Esteban. He knew that this could be the start of something new and it felt so right to be there with him.
The two couldn't stop smiling at each other. They started laughing and hitting each other jokingly on the arm.
Mr. Moseby hit Esteban and kept his hand on his arm, feeling his muscles. Esteban was shocked. Was Mr. Moseby hitting on him? He looked up and saw that Mr. Moseby's face got serious and he was leaning in towards Esteban. Esteban didn't know what to do. He was so used to hiding his feelings towards a guy that when one finally showed him affection, he got scared. He wanted to run away and keep living this lie. But at the same time, he wanted to be his true self. He didn't want to care about what anyone thought. He wanted Mr. Moseby.
Esteban closed his eyes and leaned in too. Their lips finally met and they started full on kissing. It was both of their first kiss with a guy. It was so freeing for both of them. They were both getting so into it that Mr. Moseby had to end the interviews for the day and break into one of the empty hotel rooms. There, Esteban and him went to the bed, and started kissing again. Mr. Moseby knew where this was heading, but Esteban was still afraid and holding back. He was so nervous. He didn't know if he could go through with it anymore. That is until during one point Mr. Moseby went "oh papi!". Esteban knew then that it was over. He was done holding back. He unzipped his pants and let Mr. Moseby see his Peruvian Puff Pepper. Esteban got the job, and they both had a great night together. The next day, he was offered a position in the hotel.
