Noah & Navid

Chapter 65 - The Evil Twink

"Navid!" An older white guy in good shape with greying brown hair said when he opened the door. "Oh and this must be your boy. Oh he is just what I pictured you'd have."

He smiled and offered me his hand. I shook it and Navid made our greetings. I found out the man's name was Joseph. The man waved us inside and I saw Karim and Mike behind him with drinks in their hands as pop music played through the house.

"Boys are here!" Karim said and came to lift me up into a hug. It had been a while since I'd seen him. He was keeping up his workouts and easily held me in a hug.

"And this is my boyfriend Luis," The man said with a hint of a New York accent.

He was introducing him to Navid, but I got a look at him after hugging Mike.

Luis looked model perfect; thin but toned with a handsome face. He could have been hispanic, maybe mixed with asian as well. He was early 20's with a flop of black hair on top of his head with the sides shaved down.

He had perfect sun-kissed skin and large green eyes with long lashes. He wasn't just beautiful, he was striking; that look you just can't turn away from.

He had a small, white button-up shirt unbuttoned halfway to show his smooth, perfect chest. Below that he had tight, blue preppy shorts and crisp white deck shoes. He looked about 20 years younger than Joseph.

I judged which one of them must have made the money, but then thought that was tacky to think about. I wondered if people thought that when they saw me with Navid. Did they think I was not capable of ever supporting us?

Luis stared me down for a minute. I wondered how he judged me in my swim trunks and tank top. Flip flops! I'd worn flip flops. I immediately cursed myself for not picking better shoes. Something about Luis made me feel inferior, and not in the acceptable way I felt around the middle eastern men.

After a pause, he extended a hand to me but not a smile. He offered to show me the room where we could set down our things. We followed him upstairs since Navid was carrying our day bag.

He took us to a room that overlooked a small backyard sandwiched between the house and the canal. They were on the end of a canal so the property went right up to the water. There was a square pool and patio between the two.

"Wow this is beautiful! It's so perfect here and private," I said and then quickly closed my mouth.

Luis looked at me with eyes that said he was over this place and probably used to the beautiful surroundings.

"It's all right. Our place in the Hamptons is more private, plus we keep our boat there. I've never really cared for California," Luis yawned.

I didn't know where the Hamptons were, but I wasn't about to look more idiotic than I already had by drooling over their beach rental.

"We can set things down in here?" Navid asked, oblivious to Luis' insult to our state. He pushed between us and set the bag on the bed.

"Yees Joo kahn, beautiful man," Luis made fun of his accent, but in a playful, flirty way.

He looked at Navid like newfound prey. I immediately knew I was going to hate this guy.

Navid just laughed and gave him a wink. He was in business mode and turned on the charm.

"Nah-veeed," Luis stretched out his name like it was exotic. "There's beer downstairs if you want to look through it. Joseph got a big selection and I know he wants to get your business out of the way before the fun. Don't worry though,  I'll keep little Noah company!" He tried to sound harmless.
