When Stars Collide

Chapter 3: Partners

JM woke up little by little as the alarm on his phone buzzed and sang its preset melodic alarm. He also slowly realized that the bed he was in at the moment is not his…

”Dude, can you turn your cell off? After everything you wanted me to do last night, I’m still too tired to get up.”

JM turned to the bulky man whispering beside him in the modern silk-covered king-sized bed, naked like a newborn babe…

Just like he is. 

Oh yes, I remember now…

He met this chubby and balding American businessman at a really big after-party for a recent car and motorcycle event. The model/theater actor was hired to be one of the presenters/drivers for the said annual auto convention and was able to earn a big paycheck from that gig and an invitation to a big-time, exclusive party.

JM would also later receive another invite to a “private party”, at a resort-like mansion owned by a handsome but overweight company executive. This is the same CEO who was now snoring quite loudly into his ear.

James Miguel Briones’ newest one-night stand was secretly into baby-faced, slim boys and a bit of bondage. Though the s*x last night was amazing, he wasn’t into these kinds of body types. Yes, JM was into older partners but he usually wanted his men muscular and his women meaty, so this would be his first and last s****l encounter with this sleeping foreigner.

Better make a fast exit. Besides, I still have to pick up Alexia from her class…

JM slowly rose from the bed and hurried into the bedroom’s modern and expensive private bath to take a quick shower. He needed to make sure that no evidence of last night’s “adventure” would be left on him. After all, his longtime girlfriend had no idea that he was currently living this kind of double life ever since he was hired as a model. 

And this boyishly handsome man, who can pass for a K-Pop singer, had no intention of telling Alexia about his newly found bisexuality. At least not yet.

He had already introduced the idea of open relationships, threesomes, and even orgies to his present partner, who was obviously shocked at the idea and had flat out refused. She may be around thirteen years older than him but she is still the more “narrow-minded” between the two of them. But he has not stopped pushing, even deciding to withhold s*x from her altogether.

A little emotional blackmail goes a long way especially if it’s done properly. 

Soon, when she is so hungry for some good old lovemaking, she will agree to have another man in the bedroom with them. Soon…

Meanwhile, while JM was not bedding his curvy business partner and GF, he intended to fully celebrate his newly found sexuality. In short, he will take every opportunity to bed any man who is willing to have him in bed.

And when he’s with a man, he prefers to be the bottom every time. If it’s with a woman, the other way around.

Stepping out wet and naked from the shower, the soft smell of masculine soap and shampoo wafting from his light-complexioned lanky body, he quickly towels off and starts to dress up as quietly as possible. He didn’t want to wake his benefactor up because he might be tempted to stay and have another round with the chubby man.

But then again, he did pay me good money cause of the randy role play request he wanted. Maybe if I stay until he wakes up, he can offer me more…

Still thinking about that option, JM grabbed his classy leather bag from a nearby armchair then took his gold, diamond-studded watch and matching necklace from the bedside table. Finally, he brought out his expensive cellphone from his formal coat pocket.

What if I tell Alexia I’m still busy with a new gig? Yeah, maybe I can get a more from this guy, and even free lunch.

He takes a few snapshots of his “client” while still asleep on the bed. These new shots will be a great addition to his already formidable “negotiation” photos in his collection. JM won’t have any of his one night stands become a threat to his now growing reputation as a theater actor and commercial ads model. He was sure that these photos will be useful to keep any possible obsessive s****l partner under control.

But most of all, JM will not allow his secret side affairs to endanger his decade-old romantic relationship with his rich and well-connected business partner. So these images can be used as a possible arsenal for blackmail and he is willing to make that choice if it’s absolutely necessary.

Speaking of Alexia…

JM ended his short photo session then checked his phone

Hmmm, that’s strange. No text from Alex for more than four hours. She’s never done that before.

The suddenly troubled model rushed out the bedroom door, He bolted for the mansion’s large mahogany double doors, eager to step out of the house.

Never mind about staying. I can easily find this guy anyway if I need more s*x… or money.

JM’s lips twist while his shaped, plucked eyebrows furrow in obvious irritation. His expression doesn’t change even while he is already driving away in the semi-new red sedan that Alexia has recently bought him. It was meant to be a Grab service but JM hardly uses it for that these days since he needed to drive himself to his gigs.

If she thinks she can avoid me just because she is now studying for her Master’s, then she has another thing coming. I will not be anyone’s second priority, especially her.

The man’s hold on the steering wheel tightened while his foot firmly stepped on the accelerator.

I’m getting impatient to have my threesome, Alex. And you’re not using your newly started studies as an excuse to escape me.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“Zee, for the last time, I do not think it is right for you to go to your boyfriend’s class. As it is, your relationship is already being tolerated despite it being unacceptable in normal situations. It’s not wise to push this college’s patience regarding this issue especially you are still studying in this university!”

Dean Molave’s firm tone is now starting to rise at this point and this is not lost to the young and stubborn undergrad in front of her. “Don’t you worry Ma’am Gabriela, I won’t even talk to him once I find him. I’ll just wait outside the classroom door. Promise, I won’t distract anyone.”

”Except for him and he’s the one teaching the class, Zee!”

“But I really need to…”

“No, buts! Since I believe he will be ending his session sooner than usual, you WILL stay here with ME and WE will wait for him to step out into the hallway,” crossly interrupts the Dean, her barely-controlled anger clearly reflected in her eyes.

"Ma'am, you don't understand..."

“It is you that don't seem to understand. Well then, let me put it as simply as I can: Disobey me and I will suspend you for at least two days. Believe me, Zee it would be easy to justify my reasons if you decide to ignore my directive.”

The college student pouts then crosses her arms across her barely-there breasts, giving the Dean a full view of her defiance. Gabriela, in response, glares at the petulant girl until Zee looks away reluctantly. 

Obviously, the young lass didn’t have enough courage to counter the academically-powerful woman in front of her.

But the gall… She actually wanted a staring contest with me? REALLY?!

The shocked Dean could not believe that this girl would actually stoop to being this rude when she knows who she’s rebelling against.

Damn her bratty attitude! Is she really this unreasonable? I mean I have heard Emmanuel’s complaints about her but then he is her reluctant romantic partner. I’m the Student Affairs Dean of one of the largest colleges in this university! How dare she treat me like this!

"Mrs. Molave? Hello, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you,” a friendly and cheery male voice greets from behind the dumbfounded Dean.

Gabriela turns at once, hoping for a respite from the difficult Zee, who was now sitting on the hallways cold, granite floor, and freezes at the sight of the man behind her...

Oh just give me a break! Of course, I should have recognized that overly sweet but insincere tone anywhere…

The smirking guy now facing her was no other than Alexia’s bothersome boyfriend, JM Briones. 

”I need to find Alexia Ma’am. She promised to help me file my leave of absence for this semester. Have you seen her?”

Good lord, this is just NOT my day!
