Jax's Journey

Return of the best friend

My alarm goes off as normal at 6:30 so that I can hit the gym but seeing I went last night I just push the alarm back to 8 am when I can get up and still get to work on time.

Getting up out of bed, I’m still exhausted as I have a shower and get dressed in a tight Black and White checked shirt and black pants before grabbing my bag and heading down to the tram stop and then onto work. As I get to work I grab an even bigger coffee than usual from the café at the bottom of the building and head up to our offices.

“You look absolutely dreadful” I head as one of our two office assistants Hannah looks at me as she smiles at me and my exhaustion is clear to see on my face. “Wow, thanks for the compliment” I say as she just laughs and gives me what is on the agenda for today because someone I’ve found myself in a more managerial role than what I expected but I can’t complain.

“Just a late night, was at the gym and I couldn’t sleep” I say as she nods and smirks as I point at her knowing what she is thinking “Don’t go there ok because it’s definitely not like that at all” I tell her.

Hannah and I talk for a while as I sit at my desk drinking my coffee and checking my emails before I start going through some major projects that the company has in the works over the next 12 months and I keep working on it. The morning flashes by as Hannah knocks on the door bringing my lunch up as I look at the time and realise that it’s already 12:30.

Sitting reading through the project and emails, my phone rings as I check it and see a number that I don’t instantly recognise on the ID but I pick it up tentatively as I always seem to do for some reason “This is Jackson Wilson” I say down the phone as I hear laughing down the line as I get a bit confused.

“How very formal Mr Wilson” the voice says as I instantly know who it is “I’m Taylor McNamara and was wondering if you had a few minutes to talk” I shake my head and close my office door so that we can talk in private without anyone listening.

“What’s up?” I ask Tay who is still being immature about how I answered the phone.

“So now that you’re Mr Manager man, do you always answer the phone so formally” he says as I can only roll my eyes. “You rang me from your office phone on my office phone so how am I supposed to know who’s calling?”  I can hear Tay sighing down the other end of the phone like as I blunt out his fire yet again.

“Well fine,” he says as I listen to him talking “I’m ringing my travel guy for his help.” I feel a bit confused as I smirk “Wouldn’t the NSW government have their own travel company for people like you” I say as he starts to tell me about what he needs.

“Well yes but they organised the flight down here but now I was just hoping that there was room at a certain apartment” he says as I knew it wouldn’t take him long to use my place as the hotel rather than at an actual hotel. “Does the NSW government know that you’re using their travel budget to go interstate?” I say laughing as Taylor laughs hard at my comment as he gives me more info as I am gullible about his travel plans.

“You think that they’d actually pay for me to come to Melbourne?” he says as I’m starting to figure out that this call isn’t for work or work travel. I’m getting more and more curious about the situation “This isn’t about a work trip now is it?” I say to him as he is hiding something from me which I don’t even know where to begin which is weird because even on the phone I could work out what he was playing at.

“Nope,” he says laughing.

I know this is going to happen sooner rather than later “When?” I ask knowing that I have no chance to say no to him even though I’d never say no.

“Tonight through to Saturday night and I fly home Sunday at dinner time,” he says as I’m surprised that he wants to stay so soon or for so long given that he would’ve told me about this and been like a five-year-old child before Christmas telling me what he got.

“Tonight? That’s sudden isn’t it?” I say trying to make out that it ruins my non-existent plans which is really only a 4:30 hair appointment. “Yeah, it’s a spur-of-the-moment thing,” he says as I laugh and come to the realisation that one of his exes must be in town.

“Which one is back?” I ask as he gives me a nervous chuckle down the phone “Come on somebody is back” I push him for an answer. “Nobody is back, can’t I just fly down to Melbourne and visit my best friend that I haven’t seen in person for a couple of months?” he says confidently as I can tell his bluff straight away.

“Considering it’s two and a half months… NO, so who is back” I say putting Tay back on the spot so that he has to answer my question. “Fine, it’s Chelsea who is back and she is still friends with my sister and they think we should try again” he says as I groan because of all the psycho’s that Tay has been with and there has been a few because he is like a magnet for those sorts of girls.

I rub the hands over my face as the thought of having his exes back always makes me worried “Isn’t she the one who faked being pregnant and then said she had a miscarriage to make sure you got back together after she dumped you” I say as he just gives me a yep.

The thought of Tay’s exes always worries me for his own sanity “Jeez, alright well what time are you flying” I ask him. “On the 2:45 flight so should land at about 4:15” he says as I check my plans and realise that I’ve got more work to do and my hair appointment. “Alright, I’m busy until 6 so I’ll meet you at the station where the airport bus is or there’s a pub across from Southern Cross Station that I’ll meet you at” I say as that idea gets his full approval as we hang up.

I get off the phone and get back into my work with more excitement than what I had for the tedious admin work that I have for the rest of the afternoon which wasn’t what I got this role for but with the pay that I’m getting now I’m definitely not complaining. It gets to 4 pm as I get just about everything that can’t wait for the day done and leave early so that I can get my hair done which I’m really excited about.

I still don’t have a full idea of what I want but as I’m sitting waiting for my hairdresser, I decide that I will go for the blonde look that I’ve always thought about and go for the blonde slicked-back haircut.

“Hey Jax, come on over” I say as the guy is hot as and surprising me as I sit down and go through the usual process as we talk while he washes my hair. “So I thought that I’d go blonde maybe slicked back but thought you could work the magic because I hear you’re highly recommended,” I say as he smiles and I appreciate the flirtiness that he shows. Sitting there, he talks to me and approves of my choice “You’d look pretty damn cute as a blonde… though you are cute right now” he says as I blush and laugh as he does his work.

The hair appointment takes over an hour and I cannot believe how different that I look right now that I don’t even recognise how I look right now. “Fuck I cannot believe how good I look,” I say as I smile and Zac the barber has a smile on his face. “Definitely looking good” he says as he finishes up and gives me his personal card which he says is for another appointment but I’m not entirely sure he was giving it to me for professional reasons.

The difference between me in Melbourne and me at home is totally different because I’ve never been anyone really into designer clothes or anything like that but down here I’ve really embraced the modern way of life and I’m totally different. I check the time and jump on the first tram up the road and walk into the pub and look for Tay. I spot him straight away as I realise that he doesn’t recognise me as I come in with my growing muscular build and the new hairstyle because I’ve never had it anything but super short.

I walk to the table and grab the beer he has waiting as he really doesn’t recognise it’s me “I’m waiting for some…. HOLY SHIT” he says getting up and hugging me as he finally recognises me and looks me up and down.

“You look so different,” he says as I laugh. “Damn, was hoping you’d go with the word hot,” I say as I mock disappointment as he hits me hard.

“I thought that would be so obvious that you’re hot as fuck” he says as I blush hoping that nobody can hear him say that although I don’t mind him saying that at all though hope it’s not just for my benefit.

We sit there and have the beer and then order dinner as I don’t even have to give Tay the menu because I know that he’d have Chicken Schnitzel and Chips with Mushroom gravy. The pub dinner is good because I didn’t have any dinner plans at home and would need to pick up a microwave meal at Coles and that it feels like old times.

“So what excuse did you use to get down here because you can’t just go on holiday at the drop of the hat” I ask as part of me thinks this isn’t as spur of the moment that he made it out to be and that there is more than just his ex being in town.

“I planned it over the weekend and just wanted to surprise you,” he says as I smile at the thought of him being here and the fact that he wanted to surprise me. “I just told my family that I was going to the national engineering expo that’s on and it just happened to be down here” he says as with his charisma I know that he could sell ice to Eskimos.

“Is there even an expo on?” I ask being one of the few people that doubt what he says and can see through him. “Of course there is, you can’t use an excuse without actually having evidence,” he says as I nod because we’ve both been caught in situations where we’ve lied about things but never had anything to back us up.

Sitting there waiting for dinner and then eating it, I keep looking at Tay being hotter than I remember right now as his black hoodie hides his amazing body. “So you look like you’ve settled in well,” Tay says as I shrug. “Suppose so, work is good even if I got pushed much higher up the chain without expecting it,” I say as Tay looks at me with surprise.

“Yeah, the person they hired for the position above mine pulled out at the very last opportunity… well the day of starting so they threw me into it temporarily but now seemingly permanently” I say as Tay looks impressed. “I hope that meant you got more money,” he says as I nod and point at him.

“Don’t think you’re mooching off me though” I say still pointing at him as he laughs hard. “I probably earn more than what you do still,” he says as cocky boastful tone always makes me laugh hard.

“So you’re paying for all this then right?” I say looking at him as he stumbles to start a coherent sentence as he looks at me. “Well, I mean it is your home town and I’m the guest so….”

I just shake my head and laugh as I’ve already paid for it all but I love watching Tay squirm when it comes to making him pay for things. “Fuck sake, I paid when I ordered, this is still a pub, just a very old and fancy one,” I say as he just smiles at me.

We finish another drink as I just have coke and he has another beer “Thanks Jax, You ready to show me this place of yours?” I nod as we get up and head outside as Tay looks so lost and bewildered because normally he’s the one showing me where to go.

“Tram?” he asks pointing to the stop as I shake my head and tell him that it’s just as quick to walk through one of the two main train stations in Melbourne and get to my place. We head over the train lines as he looks down at the Metro Melbourne and V/Line trains leaving with thousands of people heading back home for the night. “You seem so chilled, so much more than you ever did before you moved” he says as I don’t know what is going through his mind but I nod.

“Yeah, I suppose I am, look at the hair and the clothes I’m wearing, could never do this at home,” I say as Tay nods with a huge smile and pulls his bag along with him although I am surprised he isn’t complaining. “I noticed that because let me tell you that you are so fucking hot” I blush again as he says that because there are so many important people to me in the world but it’s what Tay thinks is the most important to me.

We get to the building and I put my code in as Tay is surprised at how exclusive this place is as we head up to my 14th-floor apartment. “This feels so much like going into a hotel and having a naughty night away” I laugh at how his mind works as we get up there and I unlock the door as his jaw drops at the size of the place and how good that it looks.

“How much do you pay the cleaner?” he asks as he walks around gawking at every little thing about my place. “Just the casual fuck once a month and he cleans it for me,” I say as Tay’s jaw drops again before realising that I’m joking as he hits me hard.

“No cleaner, just me keeping things clean because I want to keep things nice and mature,” I say as Tay puts his bag down in my room and lays on my Queen-sized bed. “Comfortable?” I say as Tay lays on the left side of the bed which is the side that he usually sleeps on when/if we are together in bed.

I look at him as he just smiles “What are you thinking, that you can just share my bed?” Tay smirks at me and just winks at me as I shake my head laughing. “Pretty much, you don’t want me messing up two beds right?” Tay smiles at me with his cheeky grin that makes me laugh as he pulls off his hoodie and t-shirt in one go.

I sit down next to him on the bed and look at him as he slides next to me and puts his arm around me “Is there something else going on? You just seem different like more boyfriendish” I say looking at him as he shrugs his shoulders at me. “I wouldn’t say boyfriendish because that’s not a word, but I just miss having my best friend around to have a beer with and talk things out with when I need them or just that we would spend time together and I miss that.”

Nodding my head, I totally understand where he is coming from because I miss having the ability to just text him about the most random shit or most importantly just dropping everything to go down to the pub and have a beer and a chat. “Oh yeah so do I, but I mean if we do anything it’s like usually a few hours or a night” I say as Tay looks at me and points his finger at me.

“Don’t go making this something that it’s not Jax, I’m still definitely into girls” he says as I laugh and never doubted him when he said that we would never have a full-time romance.

“I know that and never thought that but I probably just put it into bad words that came out that wrong” I say as Tay shakes his head and puts his hand out for me to grab hold and squeeze which I do.

Tay looks at me “I know what you meant but with the psycho visiting, my sister and her were trying to get us together again and they make out that I’m the bad guy” he says as I nod knowing how his sister gets and even though he refuses to admit it, I think there is no positive relationship between Tay and his sister.

I look across again at Tay and sense that he is still hiding something “You just want to have some love and positive company right now and someone that makes you feel special” Tay nods as I say that and put my head on his shoulder and kiss his cheek.

“Sounds so totally stupid doesn’t it” he says as I shake my head knowing that it doesn’t at all.

“Never sounds stupid, you just need that level of love sometimes and I totally get in your case that it is how you feel in that moment” I say as he kisses me and we just sit cuddled together as he has his head on my shoulder. “Do you want anything?” I ask as he shakes his head as I get up and go make coffee as Tay goes and has his shower in my main bathroom which I don’t really use so I leave him a spare towel.

Making the coffee in the kitchen, I’ve taken my shirt off and just standing there shirtless as I don’t hear Tay get out of the shower and walk in behind me as I turn around and see his smiling face “HOLY SHIT… YOU GOT ABS” Tay says as I blush realising that he hasn’t seen my body since I moved down here because I don’t put a lot on social media especially not of myself photo-wise.

“I know right” I say laughing as he takes a few minutes to take in my new body and I can see him looking at me repeatedly head to toe. “I have really been missing out on things haven’t I” he says as I don’t say anything but just smile as I tease him walking out to the living room and sitting on the couch to watch TV.

Tay heads back to the bedroom and puts on a pair of small gym shorts that don’t leave too much to the imagination as I know that it is both a case of him showing off for me and that he would be wearing them at home as I can see his bulge quite easily.

“So what has been happening on the action front?” Tay asks as we sit there and I look at him just shrugging not really letting on about anything that’s been happening because honestly outside of the mystery man at the gym, not much has really happened.

“Not much really, I’ve been trying to settle in here for the most part and get my bearings so I haven’t really had the time, especially with getting my head around work,” I say as Tay looks across at me and stares at my face reading me like a book.

“There’s something you’re not telling me Jackson or more like someone you’re not telling me about” I shake my head as he says that and keeps staring at me. “There is someone or was someone wasn’t there,” he says as I eventually crack.

“Ok, fine there was someone” I say as Tay gets so excited as he still prods me for information. “How long? Who is he?” I feel really weird now because I’ve never been into hooking up the way that I did with the mystery man in the gym.

I look at Tay “I’m not going into things ok?” I say as Tay groans at me. “I tell you all about mine,” he says as I know everything that there is to know about his sex life which is way too much.

“I know way too much about your sex life especially details that I’ve never wanted to be interested in,” I say as Tay nods proud of his sexual achievements. “Well true, but you also know a lot about my other sex life” his cute smirk is always nice to look at and he thinks that it just has this charming effect on me just like everyone else in the world that he uses it on.

I look at him and shake my head “Oh yeah, I know everything about your other sex life because well I’m pretty sure that it was always with me” I say as Taylor looks at me and smiles. There is this sense of smugness that he has that usually comes out when he thinks that he has won the argument when really he hasn’t at all.

“See exactly, you know how I like to be kissed, sucked and eventually how I get fucked” I shake my head laughing as he says that because I was the one who talked him into getting fucked because he said that he never would. “So are you going to tell me about this guy or not?” he asks.

I sigh loudly as Tay pushes me for more information “Fine” I say as Tay claps his hands and leans back prompting me for more information “Ok who is he?” he asks me.

Running my hands over my face sighing again I look across at Tay “I don’t know and that’s the honest truth, it was unexpected last night” Tay looks at me shocked and confused about things. “What do you mean that you don’t know? The Jax I know needed every detail like their mother’s maiden name and their first pet before even getting close”.

I shake my head and punch his arm hard as I shrug “I was NEVER that bad and like I said it wasn’t a planned thing at all” Tay looks at me pushing me to keep giving him more information. “I couldn’t sleep so I thought that instead of overthinking about things, I’d hit the gym down the road” I start to explain things to Tay who is more intrigued about the situation.

“It was pretty quiet in there, a girl was talking to this guy who was doing some lifting and then there was me and that was it” as I keep telling him the story, I can see that he is intrigued and that he is prompting me for more information.

“The guy was absolutely built and so damn hot and smooth and like my god those legs were probably a lot more amazing than we could ever imagine” I can see on Tay’s face how impressed he is about this.

I keep telling him what happened “So he was working those legs and naturally I couldn’t stop staring at him and he just had that very straight boy attitude so I thought that if he noticed me he’d get offended and probably bash me so I tried to hide everything I was doing,” I say laughing at how naïve I still tend to be about things. “As I was working out, he walked past me to head to the locker room as I was also finishing up and he gave me a “hey bro” nod and I was thinking that he was just being polite knowing that I’d been staring at him that whole time, so he went into the locker room and I decided that I couldn’t be in there with him so I went upstairs for an extra 20 minutes to avoid him” Tay looks at me with a smile on his face.

“What is so funny?” I ask as Tay shakes his head “Nothing, it just feels so porn movie plot” I roll my eyes as he says that.

“What you not believing me or something?” I ask as Tay brushes my question away. “Just finish telling me what happened” I nod and keep going telling him what happened.

“So I thought that after 20 minutes or so, It’d have been long enough for him to have gone home or finished up so I head down to the locker room and there he is sitting there waiting for me and turns out that he’d been having his eye on me as well”.

Tay looks at me and I can tell by the way that he is sitting that even if he doesn’t believe me, I know he is turned on because there is a clear hard outline in his shorts.

“Damn, so what happened then?” I laugh as Tay is trying so hard not to play with his cock as I roll my eyes and shake my head at him.

“Just get it out and jerk your cock” I say laughing as Tay doesn’t look at me now. “What’s the issue? You haven’t had it chopped off because I can see it in your shorts” I say as he laughs.

Turning his head back towards me he now looks embarrassed “Of course it’s still there but just I’ve been busy OK?” he pulls off shorts and my eyes go big.

“Umm ok then” I say as Tay looks at me and punches me really hard so that it hurts. “I told you that I’ve been very busy so things get missed” he says as I laugh.

I look at his cock and notice how wild and unkept that his bush is right now because I’ve never seen him like this because he’s always been so smooth or so neatly trimmed. “You can use my trimmer if you want, I don’t use i.”

Now it’s Tay’s turn to look at me with confusion “I get it looked after like I do my chest, it’s something that I’ve changed since being here” I say alluding to the fact that I get my chest waxed and everything like that.

Tay just smiles and looks at me “Now that you can see my cock, it’s only fair that I get to see yours” he says as I nod and slide everything off as Tay has an even bigger smile on his face.

“I thought you were hotter when I saw those abs but now this feels so much better” I mock offence for all the times before I moved that he told me that I was hot. “So what I wasn’t hot before when you used to fuck me” I say as Tay squirms knowing that whatever answer he gives, I can put it back on him and get him in trouble.

Instead of giving me an answer, Tay just looks at me and kisses me instead, trying to get me to shut up. I just kiss him back as I cannot resist the urge as our tongues start wrestling in each other's mouths.

The kiss goes on for a while before I pull away and look at him “You can’t avoid giving me an answer by kissing me” I smirk as Tay’s arm is now around my shoulder as he smiles. “Kissing me also prevents me from saying that you were hot then but now you’ve grown into being so much of a stud” he says with a smile as I appreciate his comments.

I can’t help but look down at Tay’s hard cock and smirk “If you want any more action then you are going to need to get rid of that” I say about his hair as he just laughs. “You know a lot of people like this natural look with a full bush,” he says as I roll my eyes at him and shake my head.

“They might, but I definitely don’t,” I say as Tay smirks and laughs as he admits that he hates it too. “I know that and I hate it as well but you know that I’ve been busy” I nod my head and kiss him again.

The kissing continues for a while as I tell him the rest of the gym story has fallen behind us reconnecting. As we kiss Tay pushes off me and gets up as I look worried when he does. “What’s the problem?” I say as he just smiles at me.

“I can’t wait another night with this” he says as I smile and tell him that it doesn’t matter but he is insistent on being smooth in case anything happens.

Tay heads into the bathroom and starts trimming his hair down as he turns towards me as I follow him “So you gonna finish this story?” he says as I head into the bathroom and sit on the closed toilet.

“So yeah, turns out that he had noticed that I had been constantly checking him out as he worked out and well it had started to go from there as we started with the normal kissing and making out in the main locker area before we went to the showers,” I say as Tay smiles and his cock hardens in his hand as I keep going with the story.

“I was kinda nervous you know because he was a 15/10 and I thought that we’d share one of the private cubicles but it was 1 a.m. and he was like who is going to see us,” I say as Tay pushes me proud of me.

“Damn, there was a time when I know you wouldn’t even let me fuck you with the curtains open and now you’re down here in Melbourne as a pure exhibitionist,” Tay says as I shake my head and laugh.

“Yeah well I remember when you wouldn’t kiss, suck or let me pound your hole but now you beg for it” Tay blushes and shrugs before trying to compose himself as he finishes trimming and shaving himself clean.

“I’d never call it begging but more an inactive denial response” he says as I roll my eyes at his government double-talk which often comes to the fore with him. “So in other words you want it” he just winks at me as I continue the sotiry.

“So we went into the showers and there was plenty of kissing before started to go down on each other with plenty of sucking” My cock is rock hard and starting to leak pre-cum as I continue to tell the story to Tay. “So well we sucked each other so deeply before blowing loads down each other's throats” Tay has finished shaving as he is completely hard.

“So basically then he asked me did I want to fuck him and I basically told him that I was usually the bottom so he goes “Well double the fun” I smirk as I know that Tay wants more information but I decide to leave it to his imagination.

“You Gonna tell me that ending to the story” Tay asks as I shake my head and he hits me hard. “Nope, the boys have to have their secrets and leave things to the imagination” I smile and wink as Tay who looks at me with a smile.
