Chapter 66 - Tell Me About The Party

"Can I make you coffee? Tea?"

The reaction took a little while.

"What? Oh, coffee, please." Dominik looked up at him with joy and enthusiasm. For a moment he looked like he was in a different world, but he quickly returned to reality and gave Andrzej a special smile. "Thank you, you care about me so much ..."

"No problem," he muttered, feeling his blush, and headed for the kitchen. Hell, being in the company of Śliwiński was really weird. "Today I am doing it for you, tomorrow you will do it me ..." He broke off when the ambiguity of these words reached him. He cleared his throat and added, "I'll make coffee."

"If you're so good, do it with cream."

Shit, Andrzej cursed again in his mind.

He did not know if what they were doing with Dominik was conscious and if they both had similar associations, or just him, but since they had an intercourse with each other, Andrzej could not shake the impression that their statements were ambiguous. The simplest sentences and comments suddenly became erotic. Neither of them had even mentioned sex, but there was something erotic in the air all the time.

From that night on, Andrzej had trouble sleeping and his body was agitated. He tried to avoid Dominik, but could not stand without his company, and unless he was physically there, his thoughts kept returning to him. They ended up spending almost every moment in their proximity.

There was nothing unpleasant about it. At first, Andrzej was afraid that he would not be able to meet Śliwiński's eyes, but the actor was so radiant all the time that it was impossible not to look at him. He gave the impression that even for a second he did not regret what had happened between them, quite the opposite. Nevertheless, Nowicki did not quite believe that this positive change happened because they had sex together, but the facts spoke for themselves. Whatever happened at the party, Dominik dared to take the first step and achieved his goal. It made him happy.

Andrzej still felt strange knowing that he had been seduced by a man, otherwise he could not have named what Dominik had done to him. But there was something perversely enjoyable about it, and their current ambiguous wordplay had the same eerie shade.

The whole situation with Dominik was kind of unreal. Nowicki perfectly remembered the smell and taste of his lover's body, but the kind of normality they returned to after the night together made it possible to feel it as a memory of an intriguing dream. On the one hand, ambiguous comments, and on the other, the lack of even hints on this subject made the situation surreal. This arrangement suited both of them because it allowed them to maintain a kind of status quo with the suggestion that what had happened was not harmful to anyone. Dominik was clearly happy and Andrzej decided that he had an absolutely incredible one-time experience behind him.

He couldn't deny to himself that it was great. He couldn't remember ever having an equally passionate lover in bed. Everything happened by mutual consent and it was an interesting adventure, but he could not imagine a repeat of the entertainment. In his mind, having sex with a man was still inappropriate, even if the passive side was more than willing.

Passive, um, he thought as he set the cups on the counter. It's hard to talk about Dominik's passivity since he did almost all the work and he did it really well. He looked as if he really felt real pleasure at that time.

Then he looked like he really loved.

Nowicki sighed. His devilishly cute and seductive roommate must have gotten under his skin.

He made coffee and brought it to Dominik. The actor did not look up from the papers as if he had not even noticed his presence. Reading absorbed him completely, and it was obvious that he was taking pleasure in it. He remembered that before they met, Śliwiński worked mainly in his office, now he rarely visited it. True, he did not have many professional activities, but Nowicki liked to think that he just wanted to spend time with him.

Sitting bent over the script, Dominik looked lovely. Andrzej watched him for a long time, still unnoticed, as if Śliwiński completely plunged into another world. Finally, he placed the mug in front of him and, not wanting such a beautiful sight to pass, he went for the camera.

It didn't take long for him. When he returned, Dominik was sitting in exactly the same position. When something occupied this boy's mind, he could lose himself in it without memory.

Andrzej took a few photos, but he missed the most important - the expression on Dominik's face. He shifted his position to get the most convenient angle, focused, and grunted.

He was not surprised by the total lack of reaction.

"Mhm, um!" He repeated much louder and waited.

Śliwiński raised his head.

Andrzej immediately took a photo. He knew that the surprised Dominik would immediately blush, assuming a confused expression on his face that always looked great in the pictures. He perfectly captured this moment, and then the third one, when Śliwiński smiled ashamed that he had let himself be approached so slyly again.

"You're terrible with those photos!" He cried, laughing. "You do so much at the weirdest moments, and I haven't seen any yet."

"I'll show you when I get the album ready."

"Won't you let me choose what I want to put in it?"

"No. You will not interfere with my art."

Dominik's sweet smile did not disappear from his lips.

"As you wish."

He said it so softly that a shiver of excitement ran down Andrzej's spine. He immediately remembered the feeling he had experienced holding Dominik in her arms.

Get a grip, he told himself, and sat down in the chair.

"Actually, why didn't you tell me about the party?" Andrzej Nowicki decided to change the subject.

Śliwiński looked down.

"Somehow there was no time. And there is probably nothing to talk about."

"How is it not? Haven't you met a guy whose script you are working on as if it was the most interesting thing in the world and you say there's nothing to talk about?"

"Ah, that," he sounded relieved. This reaction only worried Nowicki more. "It's a really cool script. And actually a comedy, although a bit dark. Not exactly my type, but I think I'll make up my mind. I will invite him to a meeting and we will talk about my possible participation in the production."

"I'm happy for you. How did you handle the crowd?"

"I got a little nervous with it, but it's okay. Marta was a wonderful companion. I have to reward her for leaving so early."

"How early actually? Dominik?"

The actor turned his head and Andrzej knew that something had actually happened at the party. 'I met Marek,' Śliwiński said to him as soon as he returned home. Did the former lover do something to Dominik again? Was that why he fawned so desperately that night?

"What did Marczak do to you?"

Nowicki did not know if he had the right to ask, but he wanted to know, he had to know. It was no longer the actor himself. Now Andrzej was part of the story too. So if he served as a distraction ...
