Chapter 17: Can you shut up already?

(Zane POV)

"Ugh, ugh, Orville!"

"Zane?"

"Oh God!" I moaned.

"ZANE!!!!" Sasha screamed.

"Huh?" I said as I broke out of my flashback.

"Are you alright? Why do you look so distracted lately?" Sasha crossed her arms as she was scolding me.

"No, it's just…I'm not really in the best mood, guys." I said.

"Dude, you have been like that for three days straight." Sasha said.

"Really? Look…I'm sorry…I just…"

"Zane, you know you can tell us right?" Kline scooted near me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

"Is it still about CIA? Culinary school? Don't worry, I'm going to convince my parents as much as I can to help you out. They'd be willing to, trust me."

"It's not that, Kline."

"Well then, tell us about it, Zane! I can't believe you're hiding secrets from us now." Sasha said.

"Sasha, stop!" Kline berated her.

"Can you promise me that you both won't get angry or won't judge me?" I tried to be as cautious as I can. I tried to give them my iconic puppy eyes and that is also my way to let them know that they might be disappointed and should expect the worst. I think it's a good mechanism because once they think it's going to be so bad, it's actually not as bad as I try to make it out to be. That way, they will be tame with their judgments. I used to do that a lot to my mom and it works. It sometimes does with both of them as well.

"When did we ever judge you?" Sasha said as she rubbed my arm.

"But at the same time, if you're not comfortable, Zane, you shouldn't feel like you have to share it with us. All I am saying is we are always here to listen."

"That is why I want to tell both of you because I trust you both."

"Whenever you're ready." Kline said softly while Sasha looks fascinated to hear it.

"Alright…my tuition problem is already solved." I started.

"WHAT? Zane, that's amazing. What happened?"

"Sasha, let him finish." Kline shushed her which made her glare at him.

"Someone gave me a check worth of $ 500,000." I whispered and I was looking at Sasha and Kline, both with an astonished look on their faces. Kline's eyebrows are raised while Sasha has her hand over her mouth.

"Basically, I went to a bar so I can deliver a pie. Little did I know, it was actually a… whorehouse." I managed to say.

"Oh Gosh! I kind of know where this is headed already. Zane, did you…" Sasha said until she was cut off by an annoyed Kline.

"Sasha, please!!!"

"Anyway, I ended up in a whorehouse. I was threatened by an ugly man. He told me to have sex with his client or he will kill me. At first, I kept on refusing but then I eventually agreed to it because I was so afraid of what he might do to me."

At this point, Kline and Sasha's faces are looking so priceless. They look so hooked and stunned with what happened to me.

"Go on, Zane!" Sasha said, motioning me to continue my story.

"I was introduced to someone and I was so scared. I was feeling very vulnerable at that time. When I got in the car of the client, I was shocked to see who it is. It was the guy I was checking out at the movie theater."

"The guy you were checking out? Is that the reason why you seem to be daydreaming that night?" Sasha asked.

"Yes!"

"Oh my god! Zane, you didn't! Tell me! I'm looking forward to hear what happens next." Sasha freaked out and grew very giddy while Kline just rolled his eyes at her.

"He was actually very nice and he's so good looking up close. He is very polite, well-spoken, respectful, charismatic and extremely seductive. He treated me to a gourmet dinner and we…checked in a hotel." I said as I was so hesitant in stating the last few words.

"OH MY GOSH, ZANE!!!" Sasha can barely hold it together anymore.

"In the hotel room, we actually talked and opened up with each other regarding our problems. I told him mine and he told him his. It's like we let out something to each other that most people cannot let out to their own loved ones. Isn't that amazing? Above all, he did not pressure me to have sex with him. He just gladly handed me a check that may have changed my life forever. We were about to go home when one thing led to another and we eventually ended up…in bed together." I finished.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Sasha screamed obnoxiously making both me and Kline frown at her and her annoying behavior.

"My goodness! Zane, you finally got deflowered by someone. On top of that, it is someone you're attracted to. That must have been a dream come true for you." Sasha gushed.

"Oh my god! I will never ever hear the end of it from you." Kline commented which made me smile.

"Kline? What do you think?" I asked.

"Well…I'm glad that you got to do it with someone who did something special for you and you won't have to worry about anything anymore." He ruffled my head.

"I'm still pissed about the guy who threatened you though. Do you want me to beat him up?" Kline added.

"No need to, Kline! Because technically, he was also the reason why I had an amazing night with Orville."

"Orville is his name, huh?" Sasha teased.

"Yeah, unique, isn't it?"

"Now, I know the reason why you are so distracted everyday. Come on, tell me more, Zane! Give me the details. Is he huge? Is he rough in bed? Did you ride him or what? Did you suck him off?"

"Sasha! Can you shut up already?!" Kline yelled.

"Never!!"
