Male nipples

The next day I had planned to have my lunch with Roy and Gaya. I felt guilty for not spending enough time with them and to be honest, I missed them. Both were already seated in the canteen when I reached them.

'Want some fresh pancakes?' Gaya asked me.'

'Sure.'

She got up to go buy some and I watched her walking through the crowd to the counter. When I turned around, Roy was looking at me contemplatively.

'It's serious between Dave and you.'

I was surprised by his frankness and I could only be honest.

'I hope so.'

'If you need help or any advice, I'm here.'

I was touched by his offer and said a heartful thanks.

Folding the paper napkin in front of me, Roy then looked at me with a cheeky smile.

'Did you know that the male nipple is just as sensitive as the female nipple.'

I was half-shocked by his statement and half-amused too. I had read about this debate in the romance novels I used to read. Some authors would often describe the male nipple as an erogenous zone, while many others just ignored it as a source of pleasure.

'Why are you talking about this now?'

'Well, you're an adult now and you are in a relationship. You need to know these things.'

I laughed and said,

'I doubt that my knowledge about male nipples is going to get me a date.'

'Is he still going on about his nipples?' Gaya interrupted. She had a plate in both hands and she put one in front of me and one in front of her. I hadn't realised until then that I was famished and the savoury pancakes looked so appetising with the cheese melted on top. There was a generous sprinkling of finely chopped spring onions on top, which added a dash of colour.

'I'm tired of this conversation,; Gaya said with mock anger. She reached out her hand and lightly pinched his left nipple over his shirt. Roy yelped and glared at her.

'See, problem solved. It is sensitive.'

'Honey, you're lucky I love you. Otherwise I would have returned the favour.'

Looking at them bantering like that, I wished that one day I also had such a connection with Dave.

My thinking of him actually led to me receiving a message from him and I was surprised.

'Game tomorrow.'

I smiled happily and this was noticed by Roy. 'Dave?'

I nodded.

'Invite him to come for a walk to Duck lake tomorrow.'

'Where is that?'

'We'll take you there tomorrow,' Gaya said. 'It's a nice place.'

I agreed and sent a message to Dave.

'Before the game, wanna go to Duck lake with Roy and Gaya?'

He had met Roy only once and they had immediately hit off. Male bonding, he called it when I asked him how he did it so easily.

'Sure,' came the reply a minute later.
