Salubrious part 26

The celebration dinner with everyone at work went well, mostly. They all hung out at this crappy dive bar where Pim was worried he’d get either shot or get food poisoning.

Mr. Boss bought dinner, (burgers, wings, beer) and they all had a toast to the company and more embarrassingly, to toast Allan and Charlie’s relationship.

The whole weird thing Allan said regarding their relationship being monogamous but adding in the boss like there was some secret Charlie didn’t know about have the night a funny vibe.

“Congrats man, seriously. I’m so goddamn happy for you and Allan. He was so miserable for weeks, I swear, Charlie. So it’s good,” Mr. Boss said as he shook Charlie’s hand.

“Yeah, thanks. I’m trying to make sense of that whole mess I made before. Allan is so forgiving,” Charlie explained.

Mr. Boss nodded a little too fast for Charlie’s liking.

“So, what was that thing Allan said, about you not getting any ideas?” Charlie asked. Mr. Boss grabbed his beer, looking at him with a surveyed look, as if he were testing him.

“Look, Charlie, we’re all adults. Why don’t you just ask him?”

Charlie narrowed his eyes. “I will ask him.”

“Yeah. But first just ask yourself if it really matters. You do know I’m genuinely happy for you both. You really know how to make each other smile. You might even say it was my fault you two got together because I hired you both! Haha.”

Charlie took in a small, short breath. “I’m sorry, boss. I lost it for a second. I’m really, dude, like I didn’t even want to say that to you.”

Mr. Boss put up his hands, spilling a little beer. “No I get it. New relationship and all. No problem. You want to protect it.”

They did a fist bump.

“Keep on trucking, brother,” Mr. Boss said lightly.

“Uh, you too, brother.”

The rest of the night went well. They all hung out drank a little bit too much and Allan fed Charlie an oversized pub burger making everyone tease the latter for being a simp.

“Open your mouth Charlie you need you-your strength..” Allan held the burger comically to his boyfriend’s face, noticeably drunk. “You need to maintain your body…”

“Charlie’s got his hands tied on this one! He won’t get any nookie if he refuses!” Glep taunted jokingly. Pim laughed, covering his face.

“I got my strength already, I’m an alpha male I don’t need you to—..” Charlie started to say but his mouth was soon full of burger.

The end of the night came.

“Hey Charlie, let’s uber back to your place. I am tired.”

Charlie thought it was weird. This was the second time Allan wanted to sleep over at his place.

“Allan, do you not want to go to your apartment anymore?” Charlie sidetracked as he saw Allan looked put out from the question. “I love having you over. I’m just worried about your place. Do you… are you not feeling that safe there anymore?”

Allan said nothing, falling over a bit. Charlie helped him up.

“Poor Allan!” Pim said. “Take him to bed, Charlie he’s so sleepy.”

Glep made a joke about something sexual and Pim blushed.

“No I didn’t mean it that way! I meant let him rest. Oh my gosh,” Pim said with a sigh.

“Get that poor bed a boy! I mean that poor boy a bed, hehe!” Mr. Boss said, laughing with Glep as they all got a ride home. “I expect you all back to work early tomorrow morning! Hangover or not!”

Once Charlie and Allan’s uber arrived they waved goodbye to their friends.

“So, we gonna sleep in you-your bed tonight? I’m really.. reeking..ready for you to sleep with me…” Allan giggled drunkenly as they got inside the apartment.

Charlie looked at him concerned. “Allan, you need water.” He gently massaged Allan’s hands and back of his neck. “We’re gonna get you hydrated.”

“But I wanna do it with you?” Allan said with a question.

“No, we are not letting our first time be when you’re drunken off your ass. No way.”

Allan giggled and fell over. Charlie sighed and helped him up.

Suddenly, Allan was looking at him in the most desperate, wide-eyed look that felt needy, licking his lips. “Fuck, you’re so hot, Charlie. I liked stuffing that burger inside of you.”

Charlie bit his lip, feeling terribly hot and sweaty.

“Uh, yeah? It tasted pretty good I guess…”

Allan laughed, walking over to him with a wink. “You just want me to stuff you some more… Don’t you? I want you to stuff me full of you, too..”

Charlie felt his pants grow tighter. “Allan, please. Don’t do this. Let’s lay you down. I need you to drink water.”

He helped his unstable boyfriend go on his bed, making sure he was safe and covered up.

“I saw your face. You like being embarrassed and getting stuffed with the burger by my hands. You really liked it. Didn’t yew?”

Charlie laughed, rubbing Allan’s back. “I did. I sure did.”

“Do I make you… make you want to do me?” Allan asked in a slurred speech.

Charlie gulped. “You have no fucking idea, man.”

Suddenly, Allan had Charlie’s fingers on his mouth, and he was licking each one. Charlie felt his breath hitch. Charlie moaned involuntarily as Allan put two fingers his mouth, sucking lightly.

“That’s what I want to do to your whole body. Suck on it like my personal lollipop. My personal popsicle flavored you.”

Charlie felt his inhibitions leaving but he pulled away, kissing the top of Allan’s head.

“I know you want to right now but I’d never forgive myself if our first time even just fooling around was because you were trashed.”

Charlie got up, feeling too hot and too tired to deal with this. “Listen, I’ll be right back. I gotta get you water. And take care of myself,” Charlie said quickly, running to the bathroom.

“Don’t go.”

Allan’s voice sounded cracked and vulnerable.

“Charlie?”

He came back sitting on the bed. “I’m right here.”

“I can’t go home. Please, don’t make me go back there.”

Charlie sighed, softly caressing Allan’s head. “You can stay here as long as you want too, Allan. I promise.”

“Really?” Allan smiled, closing his eyes.

“Really.”
