I held on to the guy's hand as he stopped me from calling someone to help. I felt he is going to hurl vomit all over the place. He looked so pale, when I first saw him sitting all alone, looking a bit huge for a tiny chair.

Then when I started talking to him, he become crimson red. Like he was blushing or flustered all over.

But I can't imagine for the life of me that he would be blushing like a newly wedded bridegroom or a love struck high school girl by talking to me. So I thought, he might be sick…

But you know how guys are! They think of themselves as Indestructible! All ‘Macho Men’! I inwardly rolled my eyes. I didn't want to insult the poor guy when I have meet him for the first time. They wouldn’t ask for anyone's help even if they are near the hell's doorway. Having a lot of ‘Macho Men’ in my family has taught me how to deal with all them.

And he did look Macho... like whole of Macho muscular yum yumminess.... He looked like a bodybuilder or a bodyguard. I could well imagine... or fantasize him as a hot firefighter with all his yum yum muscles.

"You know, you would feel better if you just go to a clinic..." I bit my lips (a habit when I am nervous) and slowly got up again.

"Please wait..." Yum Yum spoke, in a low husky tones.

I don't know the guy's name but Yum Yum seems appropriate. Oh My... He looks like, he belongs in a Battlefield like a warrior but his voice feels like that of a lover after a long night of love making. I coughed slightly and waved my hands in the air (another habit when I start to day dream or fantasize to get rid of all the impure erotic thoughts that spring up).

I looked at him and noticed that even thought he was sitting, he came up to my shoulder. From a by-stander's point of view, he could look like a scary guy with a huge build and a lot of muscles but I felt he kind of looked adorable like this.

Now it was my turn to blush. He was looking up all confused and all adorable but here I was thinking inappropriate things about him.

"Hey Man!!" A Guy dressed as a contractor or rather cosplaying as a contractor waved and came over towards us. He looked a bit winded, bathed in sweat.

"Dude you don't know how much you helped me!! I could have lost the round!! Thanks a bunch, mate!!" The cosplayer smiled with perfect pearly whites and an English accent. He looked cute... But why is he calling me dude and when did I help him??

"That's fine. I am glad, I could be of help" Yum Yum replied in the same low husky, Yum yum tones.

I still held his hand and when he spoke... I sighed..... I could feel tremors from his big hands. And they seriously were big...

The English accent guy removed the tool belt bound around his waist and kept it on a small table next to us, slightly jingling with tools inside.

"I think… I rocked my audition!!!" the English Accent guy exclaimed and fist bumped in the air like a school kid.

"That’s good. I wish all the luck with the results." Yum Yum smiled lightly, looking a bit better than before.

"Thanks, mate. I need this job. I am not good in studies, so I don't have good grades to job an office job. People here are nice. I have worked here for two years doing bartending, washing dishes, etc. but they still supported me when I wanted to find another job. But I decided that if I am happy here and I don't need to go elsewhere to work. People here have become a family. When the new strip club was being constructed, Mr Hunter went through a lot of financial troubles. Many of us left of jobs. If there are not strippers who will come to a strip club?? So some of us came forth to take their places. But you know what Mr Hunter said..." the guy laughed loudly and continued “'I ain't taking no one… if you don't prove your worth. I may want strippers but I also want professional employees, not slaves' "

I shook my head and marveled. A club of this size would need serious money to run it. I inwardly sighed wishing I could play with the numbers. I was an analyst and getting my clients out of such situations, is what I specialize. Yum Yum got up and shook hands with the guy and he left.

Then both of fell in silence.

I felt awkward...

"If you are feeling good enough... Want to go for Coffee??" I asked Yum Yum. He turned immediately like he was shocked and stared at me mouth agape.

I shifted nervously on my seat by his stare. He cleared his throat and started "Well, I..."

"Hey Man!!" A Guy came over smiling "Thanks for your Jacket. The crowd loved me totally!!!"

He waved his hands around excitingly, like a child when given his favorite toy.

"I think it went great" he replied, pulling the jacket off his shoulders and put it on the table, “Thanks a lot, Man!!" and then he leaped at Yum Yum.

I startled and moved to help Yum Yum. But the Guy hugged him and started patting Yum Yum on his back. Yum Yum looked as shocked as I was by the Guy's enthusiasm but came out of it and returned the hug.

I looked at them both and then the light bulb lit up in my head. 💡💡💡

Oh… He was Gay...

I sighed…

Why always the Good ones turn up to be Gay?? But then again... He was really kind... Maybe I should introduce him to my Bestie Seb...

I kind of felt bad of asking the poor guy to Coffee. He must have felt so awkward. Seeing him being this kind to strangers, he would have been in a dilemma on how to reject me gently...
