Dear Daddy, Please Love Me - Gianni Holmes

Opie

Fuming, I stormed into the apartment I shared with my roommate and slammed the door for good measure. The childish act did very little to calm my nerves. I shrugged off my coat and threw it onto the coat hanger, aiming a middle finger at it when the material landed on the floor instead.

“Maddy!” I yelled for my best friend, swiping the coat up from the ground. I jammed it onto the hideous hook thingy Maddy had bought and insisted was a coat rack. I always thought it looked more like something to guard the apartment from intruders. It looked ugly enough to scare the shit out of anyone who had the misfortune of running into it in the dark.

Unfortunately, I had. Countless times and it still wasn’t enough for Maddy to get rid of it.

“Maddy, I need you!”

No sound from my best friend in the apartment, but I knew he was home. The blue Honda Civic his last boyfriend had bought him was parked in its designated spot on the property.

I hurried past my bedroom to Maddy’s and flung the door wide open.

“Maddy, guess what the oh-oh!”

“Oh my god!” Maddy screamed.

Something sailed through the air, and I ducked. I turned to regard the object, which had bounced off the wall and now lay at my feet.

“Is that a dildo you threw at me?” I gaped at Maddy, who’d ripped off his headphones and pulled the towel on the bed over his naked body. The loud masculine grunts punctuated by “fuck me harder” coming from the speaker of his computer beside him on the bed distracted me from why I had entered his room in the first place.

Well, that sounds interesting.

“I panicked.” He clutched the edges of the towel together for dear life. His face was bright red, which made his freckles less pronounced than they usually were with his pale complexion.

“You panicked? It’s just me.”

“I can see that now, but I didn’t know at first.”

I smiled bemusedly. “So what? You were hoping to assault me with a dildo?”

He glowered at my chuckle. “You’d looove that, wouldn’t you?”

“Exactly. Next time, grab the night light.” The heavy, mean-looking, old-fashioned thing could cause some serious brain damage.

“How about next time you fucking knock like every other human being would have done?”

I shrugged. “You didn’t lock the door.”

“I thought I was alone!” He shuffled off the bed, then marched past me to the dildo, looking like a corseted bride in the regency era, trying not to show anything untoward. He failed. The towel wasn’t big enough to cover his skinny ass.

“You told me you were going to see Robert.” He waved the dildo at me. “I didn’t expect you back until Monday.”

I shook my head. “So that’s what you do all day when I’m not home? Jerk off?”

“For your information, I wasn’t jerking off.”

“Looks like it to me. I don’t even know why you’re upset. We’re roommates and best friends. It’s only natural I’d walk in on you once.”

“No!” The dildo was getting pretty close to my face now. “I’ve never once walked in on you because I knock. You’ve got to start respecting my boundaries, Opie.”

“Eh, that thing’s not used, is it?” I pointed at the dildo.

“Of course not.” He flung it onto the bed. “I didn’t get the chance to use it because someone always manages to ruin my time.”

“It’s just been four times.”

“In one year!”

“I’m sorry. I just really needed you to bitch with me a little.” I pouted.

With a sigh, Maddy walked over to the bed and found the clothes he’d discarded.

“Turn around.”

“Are you being serious right now?” Didn’t he realize I already knew what he looked like completely naked? When he bent over, I’d gotten a glimpse of his asshole. And some other mighty fine bits. What was there left to hide?

“I’m dead serious. It’s either that or find yourself on the other side of that door.”

I turned my back to him. “Just so you know, I think this is bullshit. I’m comfortable being naked around you.”

I really was. In fact, I imagined myself a bit of a nudist, and it wasn’t uncommon for me to walk around my bedroom bare-assed. I wouldn’t mind traipsing around like that in the entire apartment, but one of Maddy’s rules for me living here was that I had to confine my nakedness to my bedroom.

Apparently, my nudity made some people uncomfortable. You’d have thought we were all born in Gucci and Armani.

Considering how little rent I paid for my room, I was
