Jake opened his door in a pair of tighty-whities rubbing sleep from his eyes. It was his gay next-door neighbor; panic written across his face.
"Marc, what the fuck!"
"Jake, I have a photo shoot in an hour, and I lost one of my models. I will pay you top dollar if you replace the dude. Two to three hours at most."
"How much?"
"Four hundred."
"I'm going back to bed."
"Fine, I'll double it. But you have to do everything I tell you to do."
"This isn't nudity is it, Marc?"
"No! This is for a resort. You'll be in a bathing suit. Now take a shower, eat something and be downstairs in a half hour."
In the shower Jake started thinking that maybe he should have been a model instead of an accountant. He practically lived at the gym, spent 150 bucks to have his hair styled. He turned off the water and stepped out of the shower admiring his naked body. He flexed and showed off his biceps. Damn, he said to himself, "I am one hot bastard." He started feeling a hardon coming on. He smiled at himself in the mirror.
Downstairs on the parking lot Marc was talking to the driver. An attractive man around his own age was sitting on a park bench. Marc walked toward, "Howdy." Jake extended his hand. "Good morning I'm Jake." The attractive man stood up, and shook Jake's hand, "I'm Wade. You're the replacement?"
Jake nodded. "Marc's my next-door neighbor. I'm an accountant."
Wade smiled. "You don't look like an accountant."
"No? What do I look like?"
"A cowboy." He laughed but Jake was flattered."
Marc came around the side of the Van, "We're going to go to the North Beach to get the main photo of coming out of the water. Then to the Volleyball court in the sand for some fun shots. Let's go. The Van took off heading to the North beach."
"Alright boys get into the van. I got the pink bikinis you'll be wearing. Wade you're a 34. Jake what are you?"
"34 as well",
Wade spoke. "He's got a medium-sized bubble butt. I'd give him a 33 so it stands out."
"What stands out?"
"Your backside."
"Yea." Jake spoke up. "I think he's right. I have shorts that are 33. And ... uh... my butt, uh girls have told me it looks good."
Jake and Wade looked each other for a brief moment.
They arrived at the North Beach parking lot. Not a lot of cars, but it was early. Marc and the Driver got out of the Van to scout locations. Marc told the boys to get into their swimsuits. Then slammed the van door.
Both men started getting undressed. Jake was trying to get discreetly naked while Wade shucked his pants and underwear down with his cock bouncing up and down. It occurred to Wade that perhaps Marc hadn't told the whole truth about the shoot.
As Wade pulled up his swimsuit he asked, "You don't know all about this shoot, do you?"
"What's to know? It's a resort shoot. right?"
"Right ... it's for a gay resort. The main shot is you and I sharing a kiss with the ocean behind us.
Jake put his head in his hands, "Awe, really, come on. come on. I did him a favor."
"Shhh. How much is he giving you??"
"Eight hundred, nothing against you, Wade but ... I'm ... I'm not ... um gay ..."
"Tell him you want twelve hundred in cash. That's what I'm making. Look, I like, you're nice guy. I won't put my tongue in your mouth. It'll just be lips.
"You're a real nice guy, Wade."
"So are you, Jake." Their eyes were sparkling.
"Come on out boy's" Marc shouted. "I want to take some fun shots with youse in the water splashing around with your feet. Like you're, little boys having fun."
Marc positioned them and the boys started laughing and splashing each other while Marc snapped photos. Giggling in part because of their new friendship and Jake's admiration of Wade for helping him. But more importantly Wade being honest with him by telling him beforehand about the money and the kiss. This was what Jake admired in any friend he had, honestly and loyalty, the two very things Wade had exhibited. "Okay boys, take a break."
Wading in the ocean away from Marc, Jake spoke quietly. "I want to thank you for your suggestion of the increase of money, and so I'll do what I'm getting paid to do. So ... what I'm saying is ... Let's make it a real kiss."
"You sure?"
Laughing, Jake said, "Yes. It helps that you're a good-looking guy.
"That'll make him happy and hopefully shut him up." Wade laughed.
Okay boy's this is the Ad big shot. Okay. Now, Jake. I just thought of this but you'll be okay and do want I ask you to do. I told earlier when I gave you more money, that you had do what I asked of you. Remember?"
"Sure.
Okay I want your feet in the crashing waves. Both of you put your hands on each other's hips. And then I want a passionate kiss that lasts 30 seconds.
"You didn't say anything about kissing another man!!"
"Now. Now. I said when you got more money before, you had to do what I wanted ...
"Bullshit!!! I'm the one doing you the fucking favor. You wake me up on a Saturday morning. Begging me to help you!!"
You were up shits creek and I said I'd help. Kissing a guy was not mentioned. You want me to do this ... I want twelve hundred dollars in cash!"
Defeated, Marc muttered under his breath, "Fine. Get in the fucking water and kiss him like you mean it!!
Wade and Jake stood in the crashing waves, pulled each other close and began gently kissing each other with feeling and romance.
They kept doing this for ten minutes while Marc took many pictures over 15 minutes."
"All right, we're done here Boys. It looked good. I got what I wanted." Looking back at Jake and Wade." He sarcastically added. "I guess you two got what you wanted as well!."
The ride back to the apartment was done in silence. The Driver let Wade and Jake off at the entrance and then went to the parking garage.
"Come on up?" Asked Jake.
"You bet."
In the apartment Jake made a batch of martinis. They sat on the sofa. Small talk. You got a boyfriend, Wade? NO. You got girlfriend?" No!
"Look ... " Jake started. "I um, I haven't been with ... uh ... girls in more than two years. It's work ... I'm always working, you know and ... um ... Today, with you being so helpful in getting me more money and then the fake kiss became a real kiss ..." Jake took a deep breath. "I'm uh ... Not good at ... talking about .... uh ... and then this kiss with you today it felt ... real ..."
"It was real. I believe for both of us."
"I'm a little tongue tied at the moment." He swallowed his Martini.
"Would you like me to kiss you now, Jake?"
Jake slowly nodded. "I think so... I mean yes. "
Their lips came together slowly like two pieces of a puzzle. Wade put his arms around Jake tightly. Then kissed his Jake's neck. Hugging him together.
Out of breath Jake began. " Do you ... want to .. go into the bedroom or would you like to order a pizza."
