My new boyfriend... The Nerd

Let me just say, he knows I call him this, he's a self proclaimed nerd, he was in band for Christ sake, I've also referred to him as Adorkable for so many reasons, but both are complimentary, kind of, and once you finish this post you'll know why...

We had been talking about having some "fun" and going to the blue boutique to get some toys and perhaps some poppers, Since he was new to being a Bottom I didn't want to hurt him, too much. Now, Salt Lake is a small city, I run into people I know everywhere I go, So naturally I walk with confidence and class (aka my supermodel walk) everywhere I go because someone is going to know me, I'm Witty, social, and comfortable anywhere, So when we went to the blue boutique I walked in like it was no big deal, standing straight, looking everyone in the eye heading right back the toy and lube section, you could tell the employees were not used to this look and that most people walked in looking like well... eric, eyes on the floor a little hunched over, red in the face, you know the look. Stepping through those Adult Only doors I could see the Sheer shock on his face, the kind of shock I get when I walk into a Walmart or a payless shoes, Like you cant believe such a scary place even exists!!! I had a little fun showing him things I would never use and some I couldn't pronounce, we left there with a discreet black bag containing our purchases, as we walked to the car we of course ran into friends who were going to the restaurant that shared the same parking lot as afore mentioned Adult store, I acted casual and introduced Eric as my Boyfriend, we made jokes about the red lace hanging out of our discreet black bag and parted ways, I didn't think much of it after all what homo hadn't been to that store, besides eric I mean.

So we were off to our next destination, COCKERS the only boutique in salt lake owned by and made for gay men, they have the best underwear selection in the state. I had done some modeling for their store and some ads a few years earlier so I knew the owner well, Love you Dale!
Again I didn't think anything of walking into the back area and looking for new undies and Poppers, we were 2 of maybe a dozen people there and as we walked down the stairs from the upper level to meet the owner at the counter to inquire about the best "option for our Occasion" I walked like tyra banks would down a runway, owning every step, knowing all those guys wanted me, and being 6'5", blond and handsome I tend to attract attention, Alas So did Eric but in a different way... I heard a loud bang behind me and of course didn't turn around acting like I was to important to care, until I saw a mannequin wearing nothing but a mesh thong fall at my feet, AND then continue to fall down the stairs, hitting signs and other mannequins on the way down, my first instinct was to laugh and act casual like a true lady would, however eric was so mortified he ran past me down the stairs trying to catch the mannequins, this of Course made us more of a spectacle as he couldn't catch anything and was only making more noise and turning deeper and deeper shades of red! Everyone was looking at us, he reached for the torso that had finally stopped on the ground, when his pointy toed shoe kicked it and it went flying across the floor one last time and landed by the glass case that contained the very product we were intent on buying, I really and truly am not embarrassed by much, but after all this my first instinct was to pull my sunglasses over my eyes, laugh like I didnt know this adorkable guy, walk out of the store and never call him again, those of you who know me well know I could do that and not give it a second thought, looking at his awkward expression and wondering what to do seemed like hours when it was really about 3 seconds, however I did not walk out, but smiled, helped him clean things up and kissed him as his proud boyfriend, which I believe was the classy thing to do and eased the tension for everyone involved, I suppose we are all human and have our moments...

This however is not the end of the story, stay tuned for my next post tomorrow for the story on how the night ended up with all of our new purchases...
