My name is Richard, I'm 23 years old. I own and work at the local skate shop in my Los Angeles neighborhood. I am opening bisexual and currently single. I've had a few sexual adventures with the most random of people.
It was 2 pm in the afternoon when Dylan finally showed up. I was helping a few customers with a purchase when I saw him come through the door. I pointed to the office. When I finished up with the last customer I headed to the office.
Dylan and I have been friends since high school and I always remember him being great with computers. He used to do little short videos on youtube during high school, so I knew he was good with editing. When I entered the office I saw him sitting in my desk chair.
"Dylan!" I said smiling.
He got up and gave me a hug. "Sorry for being late, there was traffic all over the freeways."
"That's rough. Traffic is never fun." I said to him as I grabbed another chair.
"So what you need?" he asked. Dylan and I were always close, not close enough to have sex, but close. I helped him hook up with his now wife back in high school. He was the nerdy type and not many girls found him attractive but I stuck out for the guy.
"So, something happened today at the store and it happened to get caught on camera."
Dylan simply nodded.
"I was wondering if you can edit it out or something," I asked.
Dylan raised his brow, "Is it something illegal?" he asked.
"No, not illegal exactly but I just don't any of the other employees to see it. It's the camera in the back room."
Dylan sighed and hooked up his computer and got everything ready. "Well, tell me when we're close," he said as he began viewing the footage from the day. Dylan knew about my sexual shenanigans; I had several in high school.
I kept my eye on the timer and told him to stop at 11:55 am before Jason entered the store. He clicked a button on his computer as the footage continued. Dylan's mouth dropped when he saw what was happening on the screen.
He turned to me, "How old is that kid?"
"Uh...he's 18. He's some high school kid who needed a quick fix on his board. We began talking and one thing leads to another."
"A High school kid?" he said in disgust. "Come on dude, you're 23 years old. You shouldn't be blowing high school kids in the back of your shop."
"But he's 18, it's not illegal."
"You were 18 when you gave Mr. Otero a blowjob and got him fired" he retorted.
I stood up and walked around the room, "Mr. Otero was a hot and Puerto Rican. That was different. He was a teacher. I'm not Jason's teacher."
"Still wrong." he muttered.
"Look, man, I'll pay you to remove it from the feed."
He put his hands up, "Fine. I'll do it this once."
I felt happy, "Thank you. Uh, can you make me a copy?"
"Unbelievable." he yelled.
It took a matter of minutes for him to remove the footage and burn me a copy to a disc. He gave me the disc and stared at me, "This once, Dick"
I put my right hand up, "Scout's honor."
"Shut up, you were never in the scouts." he said.
I gave Dylan a few hundred dollars and he left the store. I tucked the CD into my jacket pocket and went on with my day. The day went as regular, occasional customers coming in and out of the store. I noticed Jason never came back for his phone.
It was now 10 pm and it was closing time. As I walked the last customer out the door, I locked the door and flip the close sign. As soon as I turn, I hear a knock. It was Jason, again. I open the door, "Kid, you have a bad habit of showing up when I close"
"I'm sorry," he said catching his breath. "I left my phone. I only noticed during practice. So I came here as fast as I could. My mom would kill me if I left my phone somewhere."
"Alright, come in. Your phone is on the back table" I said as I guided him to the backroom. He was wearing different clothing, gray sweatpants, and a black sweater. Like his tracksuit pants from before, they shaped him very well. I grabbed his phone and handed it to him. "Don't lose this, this weapon is your life," I said to him.
He stared at me blankly.
