“How was I supposed to know I should tell her? She knows more than I do.” Devon shoved a burger into his mouth. “I thought we could watch a movie or play games. Did you all bring your controllers?”
Orsen felt the heat on his cheeks as he shook his head. “I don’t—”
“I have a spare for you, and you live at Crompton’s, so I figured he wouldn’t let you have one.” Devon shoved more food into his mouth. “And you need to show us how to make his home brew. You said he was teaching you.”
“Only so I can take over,” Orsen grunted. “My first batch is up and running, so we’ll see how it goes. I haven’t blown the place up yet.”
Dale grinned. “I can’t wait to try it. Orsen’s first brew. So, are we doing zombies or monsters?”
“Or aliens?” Matty leaned back in his chair, then burped. “I vote aliens. Nothing better than blowing the fuck out of them. And I need to tell you about what I did with Nova after football.”
“You didn’t.” Devon grinned. “Nah, you did.”
“Yep. She gives good head, too. Almost made me shoot my load, but I wanted to fuck her, so I did.” Matty popped a fry in his mouth and grinned. “I’m seeing her tomorrow. Her parents are going out.”
“How about you and your older man, Orsen? Have you?”
“You guys talk about sex like this?” Orsen stared open-mouthed at them as they all nodded. “Really?”
“Well, yeah, duh. Course we do. We’re teenagers. Matty was the first to lose the big V and told us all about it. I couldn’t wait.” Devon licked his lips. “Nothing better. So tell us.”
“I am no longer a virgin.” Orsen could feel his face heat up.
“Who did what?” Devon asked. “I haven’t with a man yet, but I’ve done plenty.”
“You want to know that?” Orsen’s eyes bulged. “Never heard of privacy?”
“Nope. We’re friends, so we talk about this.” Matty shrugged as he munched on another fry. “I remember when I lost my virginity, and I couldn’t wait to tell these guys even though I did come in like under a minute.” Matty rolled his eyes. “So embarrassing. I’m better now.”
“Spill, Orsen.”
Orsen glanced at Devon, then at the table. “Well, er, the thing is… er, I was, you know, the one doing…”
“Woohoo! Orsen was in charge. Nice. That’s what I like about being bi. I can date both sexes and with guys, you can do it both ways. Figure out what you like.”
“And you got Jameson.” Matty arched his eyebrows. “I thought for sure he was as straight as they come, but you somehow got him in the showers.”
“Jameson is built all over.” Devon licked his lips, then sighed. “I have no problem bending over for him, but we haven’t got that far yet. And you got Nova, Matty. She’s hot too.”
“What’s his name? This guy you’re seeing?” Dale leaned on the table. “I don’t know if you mentioned his name.”
“Santino. He’s older than me. Has his own place here but works a lot in the city. He has a dog called Charlie.”
Dale clicked his fingers. “I’ve seen him. Don’t remember much about him other than the fact he works out and looked good, but I do know his dog. Chocolate Lab. Am I right?”
“Yeah.” Orsen grinned. “Charlie’s cute.”
“Santino is hot. You lucky fuck. I mean, I love women, but I can see a man and know if he’s hot or not, especially with Devon here. We get to talk about this and know we’re not going to be weird, right? Some kids have a stick up their ass when it comes to stuff like this or admitting if they find someone hot.” Matty picked up a hotdog and shoved half of it in his mouth.
“And Devon’s parents are awesome as well. They don’t mind who Devon likes. That right, Dev?”
“Yeah. I was shitting myself telling them, but all they said was condoms.” Devon rubbed his chin. “I think that’s their answer to everything.”
“I never told Ambrose,” Orsen admitted quietly. “It was bad enough without him knowing that.”
“At least you have a nice guy now. He is good to you, isn’t he?” Dale stared at Orsen. “You know, because if he isn’t, we could do something.”
“He’s great, so you don’t need to do anything.” Orsen ducked his head, rubbed the back of his neck. “He wouldn’t do anything sexual with me until I was eighteen. I really wanted to, you know.”
