Dear Figaro,
Sorry about the late reply, I have been so busy lately, hope you have been well. It feels really odd to be writing letters rather than emails but I guess you're not getting much access to computers given your current situation. I still feel terrible about what happened the last time we met, I will try my best to get up to see you soon. I will look up the visiting times and let you know.
Since the last time I wrote you, Lockie finally got back to me and arranged a screen test for me at the porn studio he works at. I guess I finally wore him down. It is new but I am excited. Between getting ready for that and my writing course I barely have much time for anything.
I promise from now on to write as many letter to you as I can, after all you have done for Channing and I in the past it's the least I can do. First things first, thank you so much for renting me this apartment, it's out of this fucking world, I cannot begin to say how grateful I am to you, once again it seems like you are my guardian angel. It's at least ten time bigger than the shitty two bedroom place Channing and I used to stay in when you first met us all those years ago.
I will try and takes some pictures for you to show you, it's like something from a magazine, floor to ceiling windows in the living room, the shower alone is bigger than any bed I ever slept in, and I am going to have to learn to cook so the kitchen does not go to waste. The building itself is beautiful, right near the park, I have such great views of the lake. I have to pinch myself sometimes to remind me it's real.
I have not met my neighbors yet but they are loud, all they seem to do is fight loud and fuck even louder. One guy I did meet and talk to briefly is Miles, the security guard. When I first saw him I was floored, he is just my type, toned, tanned and tattooed. He told me he knew you a few years ago when he was starting out on the force (you kept that quiet you dog ha-ha). He seems nice but sometimes I find him staring at me, maybe it's just my imagination.
So about this porn audition, I know you are dying to hear about it lol.
Lockie called me up last Tuesday night and said Curtis had finally got back to him about getting me a screen test, he said one of their other newbie's got cold feet so I was next on the list. He didn't tell me too much about what the screen test involved but I have been on the website lots of times. Of course panic mode ensued, looking at all the big beefy studs they already had on the books. So I started doing extra crunches and decided I will join a gym once I get some money. I didn't have a great nights sleep the night before the screen test, I was nervous and excited and not going to lie to you, I was getting turned on just at the thought of getting naked and jerking off in front of a camera knowing that men from all over the worlds were going to bash their meat to my video.
I know you don't really know Lockie all that well so I will tell you a little bit about him so you know who I am going on about. We met in a shelter about three years ago, we both liked working out so used to run in the park together whenever we could. He has a similar story to mine, ran away from a broken home and ended up wandering the streets. He wasn't as lucky as me and didn't have his own Figaro to help him out.
People have commented in the past that we could be brothers, he has the same blonde hair as me abut is definitely more muscular and he has sleeve tattoos. He is my best friend in this city for sure, but lately his attitude and behavior has changed towards me. I have always harbored a massive crush towards him since we first met but he is strictly gay-for-pay had has a different girl each weeks so I have kept my feelings to myself, I don't want things to get messy ha-ha.
On the day of the audition we agreed to meet at the cafe my housemate Theo works at. I guess you would call it a niche cafe, it has a few tables and always seems to be busy. I decided to get a housemate because I was lonely and I had hooked up with Theo a few times on Grindr, he is cool, you would like him. He is tall, thin and has a shaved head, only you and him know about my feelings for Lockie.
"What time is lover boy arriving?" said Theo with a smirk, placing the Orange juice in front of me.
"SSSH," I hissed scanning the room, "He could have heard you!"
"Oh please if that guy doesn't know that you have had the horn for him since day one then he is stupid AND blind."
"Whatever Theo I have enough on my mind as it is," I said as I began to shred the napkin.
I heard the door open and turned, Lockie was walking towards us looking better than any guy had the right too. Black leather jacket over a wine green t-shirt and tight dark jeans over boots, I was weak at the sight.
"Hey Mason," he said with a smile. "You ready for today?"
"Not really," I admitted, returning his smile. "I will once you tell me more."
Without acknowledging Theo, as he never really got on with him, he barked his order. (Lockie thinks Theo is too forward and Theo thinks Lockie is a cocky idiot.) Once Theo had left to get the order Lockie began to tell me about the rough outline of the day. As he began talking I realized that I had missed him, he has been real busy doing photo shoots for the site, camming and he usually spends his free time with other people from the business. I feel he got bored of me always bailing on him to sit at home and write another chapter, but I vowed to be more flexible. Little does he know the real reason I have been avoiding him.
He said that it should not take more than an hour to do my test, but in this business nothing really runs on schedule, I would meet Curtis, the Owner and Director, fill out paperwork, take some pictures, then I would wank on camera, go home and wait for the call. It seemed easy when he said it like that and I started to relax.
After the cafe we got the train and caught up on each other's life's, he was saying that work was hard but busy and he was enjoying the money. He showed me a new watch that he was gifted from on of his fans from the chat rooms. He also said that he decided to cool it on the girl front as it was messing with this head, I grinned inwardly at that piece of information.
I told him about my writing course and the latest short story I was working on. He seemed interested and asked to read it sometime, which made me almost burst. While we walked to the studio he asked about my love life and when I told him I was just hooking up with Theo on and off he just grunted and said no more.
The outside of the studio looked like any other office building, the logo above the door way was the only sign that it made adult entertainment. I realized I was nervous again as we walked up the stairs to the office but I quickly shook them off, I was determined to do this and a little part of me didn't want to let Lockie down, plus I really needed the money.
