Boy toy
I delude myself that I’m many things; resting professional footballer, trans-county DJ, international playboy, but I’ve never previously viewed myself as a gayboy dreamboat. I have apparently been the target of some lust homo-style in the past, which until yesterday, I thought it was a one off.
The wedding season is upon us and I needed a new suit, the variety of men’s suits is woeful – blue, grey, black, pinstripe or country casual fawn. My plan was to go with black, which would be good for work. Staring at the selection I was under whelmed by the tedium. Instead, driven on by the sweltering hot day, I was drawn to the light summery linen suits.
Within seconds Mr Humphrey’s from Are You Being Served pounced on me. He began to help me find the right jacket, and to ponder the colour, oh, and to chat me up.
“Are you a fireman?” he asked, I can’t underplay how camp he was.
I said no.
“Ooh you’re tall like a fireman”
“I’m not brave enough” I said
Before he could say ‘would you like to be a fireman, for me.’ I was making for the changing rooms.
“Go on sir, slip your pants off” he said as I did.
Once inside I could hear him talking to Emma
“Ooh, he’s ever so tall isn’t he?”
Their conversation veered through our holidays, our cats, how long we’ve been together, my evolving body shape. I sent Emma a text message.
“Will you shut up!”
I was looking sharp in the suit, and thoughts turned to shirts. Mr Humphries was off into the shirt section, he returned with several options, each one of which he slipped inside the jacket, inadvertently brushing his hand against my nipple. I began to feel invaded.
After we’d bought it, he shook my hand and rubbed my arm. “God bless you” he said with a smile and a twinkle. I’m not kidding, the man turned to jelly at the sight of me.
Later we bought some Ben and Jerry’s and a couple of big bottles of Leffe beer for a bar-b-que at the Nobscrubs. The woman on the till looked at me with a twinkle.
“That’s an intriguing selection of shopping, wine (it was beer) and ice cream”
See, now I’m a gay icon women have started wanting to turn me straight, they’re even making saucy suggestive comments about my private life from till 7 at Tesco.
