Hand fried sea salt crisps was on the packet, made from the finest British potatoes no less.
They call 'em chips in the US . I have so much become addicted eating them since I met Richard. Just as I have with Richard, the guy who appears on the back of the crisp packets announcing he was the guy who hand fried that particular packet., from potatoes grown in 'Daisy Field'.
I recognised him at a local Gay Pride party as the guy on the packet.
"That is you, isn't it?" I asked showing him the packet.
"Sure is" he replied with a glowing smile. "And they are exactly what it says on the packet, scrumptious and made with my own hands. You like them huh?"
"Sure do and now I have met you I feel there will be a connection every time I purchase and consume!
"I guess you don't have any vacancies do you. For making them I mean?"
"Are you out of work then erm what's your name?"
"David" I returned.
"Well David, you would have to dig your own potatoes from the field you are allocated, then wash and prepare and go through the whole process of what makes a real quality hand made crisp."
"Fine, I would like that, when can I start Richard?"
"Wow you are forward, David. I haven't said their is a vacancy yet!"
"Well is there?"
Richard looked thoughtful. His short wavy dark hair matching his handsome look.
"I guess I will give you a try on buttermilk field, see how you go, tomorrow morning at 9am okay?"
I felt very exited. And this only happened because I like hand fried crisps - and meeting delightful Richard too. I think he liked me as much as I did him. It was something about the way he looked at me with those devouring eyes, I felt a certain sensual numbness run down my spine when he invited me to try this buttermilk field.
I just felt this was going to develop into something more than just an employer/employee relationship. It was it me being too hopeful. It had been a long time since Danny dumped me and I had lost a lot of confidence. But with Richard seemingly taking an interest in me I felt a lot more confident already.
That night I dreamt of what Buttermilk field might look like. I imagined rows and rows of potato plants rising up to me with the tuba's dangling below them just waiting to be picked off the root and cleaned.
That thought developed and my fantasies were abound when, the potato tuba's changed to something else very sexual and highly tempting, reminding me of how it was with Danny and how he loved me to massage him underneath, as he spread his gorgeous thighs over me on the bed.
Then he lowered himself and had me sniff and suck him as he smothered me wholly until thumped his thigh to announce I need a breather!
But he really knew how to pump his lead into me afterwards.
I guess I have got it bad in missing those wonderful so beautiful things Danny and I achieved together.
It would be so good to form a brand new relationship. Especially with a guy like Richard whom I feel could pullout all the cobwebs that have built up since Danny.
But then he most probably already has a partner, I should think so because of his demise, he has everything in my view, although I guess I am putting him on a pedestal because he offered me a job, which I need so very much.
I settled for another slow massage, imagining the what was probably the impossible with Richard; like he was chasing me naked of all things in between the rows of potatoes in Buttermilk Field.
