I'm Not the Type to Steal Another Boy's Boyfriend
Over the weekend, I got an invite to a house party from a guy I met at a club last summer. It was pleasantly unexpected, I couldn't turn it down.
When I finally arrived at midnight coming from a family function, the guests had been drinking since 7pm. My guy friend was already drunk... drunk and nursing a broken heart. He tells me he had just broken up with his boyfriend.
"I didn't know you had a boyfriend?" I was surprised.
"You've met him before."
"I have?"
"...Yeah, one night we ran into you dressed as a sailor."
"Halloween?" I asked.
"Yeah yeah, that's it!"
"Now I remember. You ran away from me so quickly." I say sarcastically.
"What do you mean?"
" I read you loud and clear. You didn't want him talking to me."
"Yeah that night... it was awkward." He didn't deny my accusation..
"What did you think I was going to do? I don't steal boyfriends. Don't be threatened." I say firmly.
I was annoyed, but that soon wore off when he sang karaoke to the tune of 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston. Off-key. Vulnerable. And drunk. Gotta love sweet, broken-hearted gay men.
