The Gay Barn

I find myself at the same bar on a cool Friday night. It's the only gay bar around for at least 50 miles and thankfully wasn't filled with old men, sitting with pints of lager and shouting over football... Everyone around here calls it The Gay Barn since it's a converted barn but it feels really home-like.

My goal is to find a girl to keep me company for the night since I'm not really into the whole relationship thing. Being heartbroken by my previous girlfriend has put me off ever loving any girl again, at least until I've allowed my heart to heal. Even if it did heal, there's still my trust issues to get around. I guess I sleep with any girl that will have me as a way of avoiding confronting those feelings and to help me escape from them to enjoy myself.

"Gimme another straight rum, Harriet" I say to the bartender. She looks at me and smiles sweetly. She has always been so nice to me and is the only one I stay in contact with that I've hooked up with. Who couldn't hook up with a girl that had the best looking boobs and body you've ever seen? That and she is very caring which is one of the many things I like about her.

All the regulars were in the booths, eating eachothers faces under the sound of Naima by John Coltrane erupting from the jukebox in the far corner. The calm atmosphere mixed with the sweet scent of alcohol relaxes me and brings a smile to my face. The sound of the door gets my attention as well as the young woman walking through it. She looks nervous and like she has never been here before. She starts walking over to me and Harriet before asking "Hi, um, is this seat taken?" Then smiling a small smile. I smile back and shake my head no so she sat down.

"What can I get ya?" Harriet asked to her, using a flirty tone and leaning so her cleavage was on full view. The girl smiled at her and made the cutest thinking face I've ever seen. "Um, I'm not sure, I don't drink so do you have maybe a red bull?" When she said that, a giggle fell out of my mouth then I shook my head at Harriet. "Get her a non-alcoholic shandy on me H" I say to her. The girl looks at me and thanks me.

"So, since I'm buying you a drink, can I get a name or do I need to buy that too?" I joke to her. She laughs an infectious laugh at what I said, causing me to laugh too. "Well, my name is Demi... that would normally cost ten bucks but since you're cute, I'll give you it for a number?" She smirks at me. I turn my body slightly her way, fascinated by her beauty that I hadn't been paying much attention to.

She looked like a latina but without the hot Spanish accent, instead a Texan one. Her tanned skin looked almost golden in the lighting of the bar as it gave off a soft glow. Her auburn brown eyes, looked directly into mine. Then her long, multitoned brown hair gently lay over her shoulders and down her slightly arched back.

"Are you gonna give me it then or just continue checking me out?" She asked. I looked at her questioningly, was there something I missed? What was I meant to be giving her? "Your number, cutie... maybe even a name to go with it?" she said then winked. I stood up to get my phone out of my back pocket then unlocked it, got my number up and passed her my phone. She got out her phone, put my name and number into it then passed me my phone back. "Your drink beautiful" Harriet said to Demi before handing her a half pint of non-alcoholic shandy. "So, how much am I forking out to get her drink, H?" I asked, jokingly before lightly nudging her. "Nah, don't worry about it babe, I'll put it on the house since she's new. Put your wallet away" she replied, smiling sweetly at me.

"Wanna get out of here and come back to my place?" Demi whispered in my ear in a way that I would have wished was more suggesting if it had been anyone else but her. "Yeah sure, just let me pay for my drink and say goodnight to Harriet" I say back while we are both standing up then wrapping an arm around her waist. She was smaller than me by about 6 inches which I find cute as hell. She turned into me and slightly cuddled into me. "Hey Harriet, I'm out! I'll throw 10 bucks over for ya" I say, raising my voice so she can hear from the other end of the bar. Demi looks up at me and smiles so I smile back at her befote cupping her jaw and giving a long peck on the lips.

She called a taxi cab that took us to an apartment building, we got out and headed to the elevator inside once she had put the code in to let us in the building. We made our way into the elevator then I brought her into my arms where she cuddled me just right. We got out on the floor of her apartment and went inside.

"I'm going to get changed, I've been in these clothes all day. Do you want something to change into?" She asked, standing in the doorway of her bedroom. I nod and tell her to just give me anything since there was no way I'd be comfy in jeans for much longer. I sat down on the sofa and played in my phone to wait for her to do what she needed to do. She shortly came back and approached me in a large shirt, shorts and bed socks with no makeup on and her hair up in a top knot with a small pile of clothes in her hand. She looked so beautiful in her almost vulnerable state, there's no way I'm gonna have sex with her and leave tomorrow morning as if nothing happened. I accepted the clothes from her and got changed in the bathroom.

When I came out, Demi was no where to be seen. I walked into her bedroom and saw the Latina woman under the covers but sat up, with glasses on and reading a book. "Demi?" I say to get her attention. She immediately looks up at me with a smile that shows her teeth. "Just put your clothes anywhere and get into bed babe" she said, noticing the questioning look on my face. I place them in the ottoman at the bottom of her bed then climb into the other side from where she was lying. She puts her book on the table beside her then removes her glasses and puts them on top before dimming the lights so we could still see eachother but not completely.

She lays down and a section of her hair falls in front of her face so I reach across and carefully tuck it behind her ear. I allow my hand to rest on her cheek as I caress it with my thumb. She smiles and looks down before taking her bottom lip between her teeth. I hold my arms out as an invitation to cuddle which she happily accepts. Her head rests on my chest with one of her hands on the other side of my chest. I bring the arm she is laying on around her body as best as I could, the other guiding her head to look at me to pull her into a sweet kiss.

"Wanna know something Dem? I haven't had something as special as this with a girl for a long time. I went to the bar tonight wanting to hook up with someone and to take the pain away of being heartbroken so many times... but I can't do that to you. I'm not hooking up with you tonight Demi. We're enjoying eachothers company while having a cuddle in bed and sharing something so much more meaningful than sex." I explain to her. She leans up and places a loving kiss on my lips, a kiss to show she wants to love me and care for me no matter what.

"That is so amazing babe, I'm so happy that we're sharing something like this and not just sex, as much as I'm sure that'd be great too! I want to show you that it's okay to love and trust again, that not everyone is out to hurt you. I want you to be happy and healing with my help or not, it's up to you if you want to have something concrete or just keep fooling around but I'll always bee a text or call away" She said before getting back into my arms.

This beautiful woman, that was nothing more than a stranger a few hours ago, is now offering me a new start and a chance to love her? I kiss her forehead and squeeze her in my arms only to feel her smile against me. "I'm here to stay, as yours Demi. Show me what it's like to love again and I'll show you nothing but love in return" I whisper before we both fall asleep, more than content.
