Chapter 103

“I have to speak to you. It’s important.”

Trevor hesitated, he didn’t want to be away from Gary, not now that he’d agreed to…However, something was definitely amiss with Paul, so reluctantly he stepped aside and let his visitor enter.

They’d just got to the living room, Trevor about to ask what had Paul so upset when, “Did you manage toget rid of whoever was—”

Spinning round, Trevor saw a naked Gary—a still-erect, naked Gary. Closing his eyes momentarily, he tried to compose himself. Some hope. “Paul, this is my old friend, Gary. We were uh—” Could this get any more surreal?

Turning to Gary, who had reached for, and covered himself with, a scatter cushion from the sofa, Trevor said, “This is Paul, you remember I told you about him.”

Gary, bless his heart, tried to reduce the farcical nature of the situation by observing the social nicety of offering to shake Paul’s hand. But the situation was beyond saving.
