I just sit there numb, waiting for Ben to arrive. What started out innocently enough now threatens to wreck everything. I don’t know what I would do if I lost Dan, he’s my life, he means everything. There is no other. If only I could convince him of that.

A car screeches into the drive and for half a second I believe it might be Dan’s but I know the sound of his jeep’s engine and this is not it. It’s Ben.

Getting up I go and open the door to him.

‘Oh Darren,’ before he is even through the door he has me wrapped in a bear hug, pulling me to him.

‘What am I going to do?’ I whisper as he leads me back into the sitting room.

‘What are we going to do.’ He tells me gently, hooking his fingers under my chin, forcing me to look at him. ‘What we are going to do is tell them the truth.’

‘But…’ I start to protest, ‘that’ll mean…’

‘I’m well aware of what it means,’ he shushes me, ‘and it’s about time people knew anyway. Hey it can’t be that hard, you and Dan did it.’

The mention of Daniel’s name sets me off again and fresh tears start to fall. I don’t even try to hide them from Ben. After all when there is a picture of you and said guy still sat on the table. A picture of said guy on his knees in front of you, his mouth full of your cock, your head thrown back in a vision of ecstasy, you don’t really have a lot left to hide.

‘Ok.’ Ben releases me and pulls out his cell phone. ‘I’m going to call Lee.’
