Jake’s Encounter [BL]

He walked into the bar with the neatly wrapped parcel in hand.The parcel had been delivered while he was on a business trip and Mrs Green, his cleaner had helped him wrap it up. He just got back from Oakland and the beautiful scenery of San Francisco and the spring air welcomed him home. He strolled to his favorite seat at the far end of the bar. The sofas in the bar had high backs and were curved in a circular way for those located at the edge with beautifully crafted glass tables placed before them. The sofas at the middle were low and also circularly styled with low glass tables. There were high stools positioned opposite the bartenders counter where different types of alcohol were displayed in a glass cupboard behind the counter and some fruits sliced up in a transparent cooler on the counter. The dance floor had a rainbow designed carpet on it. Jake sat down hoping she wasn too mad at him for missing her party.

Seconds later, Chico the bartender came over to take his order as people were not much yet and he was a regular. He ordered scotch on the rocks and Chico left. He saw her step out of the back room cladded in a red flayed dress complimenting her red hair. She was petite and pretty.

”Oh Jules, you look so pretty…..you
e literally glowing ” He complimented.

”So all the years youve known me Ive been ugly? ” She asked

”Nah sweetie…..Sorry I missed your birthday party and surprise engagement ” he pleaded

”You
e my best friend Jake and you missed two special moments in my life ” she whined

”Forgive me sweetie ”

”Youll be forgiven after I see my gift ”

Jake handed her the parcel which she gleefully unwrapped.

”Is this what I think it is ” she cheerfully asked

”Yeah. Only five were made in the world and my sweetie gets to keep one. Happy birthday ”he chimed. He had gotten her a chanel limited edition bag.

”You
e forgiven. Thanks so much…..Im sure it cost a fortune ”

”You
e welcome….nothing I couldn manage ” he assured.

She giggled ”How was your trip ”

”It was a success. You know I literally rushed

over here from the airport ”

” Awn, I love to know that Im special….and yes cars are parked in hangers ” she added sarcastically.

”Oops she caught me….I stopped by home to get your gift for a second… ”he laughed ”so when do I get to see the ring ”

”Oh you mean my karat embroidered diamond ring…sure Ill show it to you ” she said with pride.

She playfully raised her left hand like she was styling her hair so he could get a peak at the ring.

”Whoa….Hamps got you a beauty ” he complimented.

”As he should ” she proudly said

Jewels bar was a gay bar owned by Jules. She named it so cause she saw the LGBT community as beautiful jewels glittering happily in the world. He and Jules had met at college, surprisingly finding themselves leaving the library at the same time a few evenings in a row. They bonded over dinner after reading and a beautiful friendship bloomed between them. Their friendship got stronger when they found out they were both from San Jose.

A group of college guys come bursting in , giggling and making jokes. Their voices were heard as the music was turned on really low. They sat at the table opposite his and Jules excused herself and crossed over to chat with them. While Jules went over, he saw the most angelic looking face at the said table with shoulder length blonde hair. He smiled like an heart breaker with sparkling blue eyes. He had rows of piercings on both ears with a straight pointy nose and luscious pink lips. Jake found himself lost in this beauty who seemed to be in his early twenties.The guy would be 510 and wore a black sweater shirt that hugged his sculpted body. His eyes kept lightning up as he laughed at whatever was said at his table. Jake found himself laughing along.

Chico brought his drink.

”Seems like you forgot me ”

”Sorry bout that. There was a customer who just went through an heartbreak with a scammer boyfriend ”

”Thats crazy. Hurry back and hear some more ”

”Oh sweet torture ” Chico whined and went back to his counter. Jake chuckled, bartenders just had to listen sob stories and give encouraging words.

Jake turned back to his beauty and found him staring right back at him. Jake was getting tensed so he shifted his stare. He snuck back and the guy was still staring at him and sent him a wink. Jakes eyes strayed away again when Jules came to join him.

”Those guys helped clean after the party last night ” she heartily said

”Thats sweet. So how cliche was your engagement ”

Jules laughed for a pretty long time. She had always told Jake how she wanted an out of this world proposal. But Hampson had just made it simple by planning with the staff who had the place redecorated and knelt down when she walked in awe. Jake had seen it all from the video she had sent to him.

”It was just the right dose… ” she noticed Jake peering over her head for something or someone. She turned in the direction he was looking and saw the pretty boy he was looking at. Jake found it hard to approach anyone he found attractive she wondered if hed finally man up.

Jake knew he was gay when he was 15 and high school. When his friends fawned over girls with long legs and pretty faces hed been into guys and had a crush on his Science teacher, Mr Dallas. Mr Dallas was a very attractive and attentive teacher who always taught his classes
