No he didn't
The first thing David said to me, when I got to his house was:
" Thank God you're here. The Caterers only brought one Bartender and one Server. I asked for two servers."
Although I had no idea where he was going with this, he gave me the "Look". We give each others these "Looks", when we need a really huge favor. We pretend it's hard for us to ask, but really it isn't. So I asked him what he needed.
" I need you to help the server:"
" Yeah sure" I gave David a different one of our "Looks". This one let him know, that he will owe me big time for this. David took me into his boyfriends closet( yes I said "into", the bastard has a walk-in closet ) and pulled out a white shirt and black tie. Thankfully I was wearing black pants already. I asked the Bartender for his apron, and joined the other sever in handing out hors d'oeuvres
It was actually kind of fun. I used to be a waiter so I had no trouble falling back into the habit. The other server was cool too. His name was Nick, normal looking guy and really funny. David's boyfriend Stephan is an "important" person. This party was classy as were the guest, most of them being gay. Was there ever any doubt they wouldn't be?
Nick and I of course made fun of the party's people. Commenting on who's hot, and who's not. Who looks good, and who's trying too hard. Who's a total "Flamer" and who was a "Closet Case". There were a couple of Lesbians there to. They were pretty too. How can anybody be a Lesbian? Guys are just too cute. Oh well, who am I to judge. William was there. He's the guy I met at the Mexican restaurant, that David took me to, to meet his Boyfriend. He was talking with David.
I was carrying a platter full of Rice Balls and Spanikopita. David asked me if the caterers had more marinara sauce for the Spanikopitas. The caterers were running out. He asked Nick, and Nick said they were almost out. My friend seemed a bit stressed at this information.
"Why didn't you people get more?" David asked Nick
"I'm sorry Sir, I should have requested more" Nick replied, a bit nervous. Trying to cool down this situation, I said,
" Well you know, the more Mari-narrier"
Utter silence from Nick, David, and William. For a moment I heard crickets chirping. Why do I say such stupid things? I quickly turned to William with the platter, and held it in front of him.
" Hey William" I said as he took a rice ball off my platter.
" Hello. Do I know you?" what a moron.
"Yeah, I'm David's friend. We met at the Mexican restaurant."
" Oh yeah, Roger right?" this wasn't my name, but I can't stand when someone forgets my name. So I just agreed with him. I'm such a wuss. He took another ball and began a conversation with another guest. He spoke with his mouth full, didn't all fags know you shouldn't talk with balls in your mouth?
As with all gay parties, you get that one alcoholic who gets too loud and starts becoming an embarrassment. This guy knocks down one of Stephan's prized Disney collectables. It's a glass sculpture of the evil queen from Snow White. It shatters on the floor, and I quickly look at David. I whispered to Nick,
" Oh boy, this is gonna get good"
I could tell David was upset, because he was acting like nothing was wrong. Stephan too did the same. I went over with a towel and started wiping all the glass into a nice pile to sweep up. When I got up from the floor, my elbow hit the side of this table/stand and someone's drink fell off, hit the floor, and broke.
"God damn it!" David said. He looked at me with disappointment. But the kind you give to someone who is less than you. I can't explain it, but it pissed the fuck out of me. My first thought was " No he didn't, just give me a look". I broke a fucking wine glass not a fucking Disney faggot statue. I got another towel and cleaned up my mess, and the remains of the statue. The rest of the night I spent quiet and not having anymore fun. I stayed till most of the guests left. When Nick and the Bartender started cleaning up, I left too. I didn't say goodbye to David or Stephan. In fact I left without them knowing. Hell, I wasn't getting paid for this. I can leave when I want to.
When I got home there was a message from David on my answering machine, saying thanks and how he now owes me one. No mention of an apology for embarrassing me. I think I may not want to talk to David for a week. I think I'm getting sick again. My neck still hurts. I think it's my glands. Can anything go right with me?
