Une semaine differente. (A week like no other)

The next text is a novel written by Grigsgr.



It was only yesterday, that John had realised that, the guy he had met at the beginning of the week, was making fun of him. He had been suspicious about it the last two days but, on the other, he didn't want to believe it. So there was nothing left to do, except from making John believe that, all of his friends were right. But as time went by, his friends didn't have to do anything. The guy on his own had done everything easier for everybody.


JOHN is a quite shy person that lives in a big city called Athens. He has got his job, his own house and his own car. He lives in a suburb and does not try to meet any new guys because he is very shy so he hopes love will come someday.
at the beginning of the week...

John had finished his job in his shop and decided to go to the sea to have a swim, sunbathe and rest for a while before returning back to the city. A noisy city that leaves nobody to rest and have some time for his own. So he took his car and followed the road to the sea. All the time he was driving he was not thinking of anything and anyone except from the cool water, the air and the sand and a smile was shaped on his face. The road was empty and he arrived to where he was going 15 minutes later.

While he was laying down he saw a guy 30 meters away from him looking towards him. He felt a tremble but he continued what he was doing. There was nothing that could make him change his mind. "I am here to take my bath in the sea, and rest or a while. That's all" he said. So he didn't pay any attention to what was goin' on around him. Many minutes later, he stood up to dive into the sea and saw that, the guy who previously was 30 meters away now was sitting right next to him smiling and staring at him.

an hour later...

An hour later he was there, at the same point but he was not alone anymore. He was with that guy, that guy who tried to talk to him and made him not wanting this to stop happening. John enjoyed their chat, the way he was talking, smiling, moving, the sence of discovering another personality, his way of thinking. So he didn't even want to dive into the sea again. He just wanted to stay with him and that is what he did. He stayed with him till late at night and then they both went back to the city but none of them was alone. They were together.


It's two days since they met each other on the beach. They are having fun. John likes what's goin' on. He likes not being alone. Delightful sex, enjoyable days, sophisticated nights. What more could somebody ask for? So he was not paying any attention to all, that guy was doing. That guy was taking advantage of what John was giving to him. He was taking things from his shop that cost a great amount of money just becasue he wanted to wear them and show them around everywhere he was going. He was taking Johns' car to drive through the city and finish anythikng he had to but, John could not realise what was taking place infront of his eyes. One of these days in the week he let his thoughts to overcome his feelings and then he became conscious of the situation. A situation very stupid if someone saw it with a critical way. Very stupid from Johns' side.
That is when he said that he couldn't let this happen aynmore.

Two days later and while the week was reaching to its end he got things straight, what he wanted and what he couldn't stand and stoped seeing the other guy. That put him into thoughts, deep thoughts of the way he is seeing other people and, how good he is as a person who makes it easy for others to use him for whatever they want.
