“Breakfast at Shelley’s. You must be kidding me.” Darren thought to himself as they arrived at a little apartment Shelley called her home. It was actually quite a nice building but apartment was truly tiny, and it was turned into a garden. Plants and flowers everywhere. Balcony was turned into a garden, too.
“You think I’m nuts?” Shelley smiled to Darren seeing his expression looking around the place. Darren looked back at Shelley and saw a man, looking quite different dressed down.
“Yes, darling, me and my man’s drag,” Shelley ranted on without leg Dag Darren answer her question. “You can call me David now if you like but I still prefer Shelley, there’s a bit of eye-liner here so that’s a good excuse.…”
Tea and sandwiches, Daniel looking adoringly at Shelley, Darren just listening. She wasn’t an ordinary drag queen of dirty little clubs and bars. She had a career, or used to have a career as a singer.
“Yes, darling” Shelley addressed Darren seeing his surprised face, “I had a couple of singles… well never made it to have an actual album, but I’ve been on some compilations and my biggest hit was actually sold in 7 thousand copies, that’s a lot for an old sad queen if you ask me… All the drag queens I know if they release a single their friends and family buy it, other drag queens to support their own kind, and it never makes over a thousand. I actually was going to get a record deal but they didn’t want to put any money in me, just wanted to put out my records and see what they can make out of it, but I wanted to be a real star, promoted and made up, in videos, in magazines, I didn’t want to do it halfway, so I gave up… I was doing covers anyway, not real music…. You guys….”
Daniel tried to stop her in order to say something but it didn’t quite work…
“you guys are making it so big I am glad I never went any further, you’d make me look like a sad wannabe no matter what…”
“You’re not a sad wannabe…” Daniel said
“Look at me,” Shelley put her hand on Daniel’s arm, “just look at me, look around, do I look like I’ve done some great things with my life, I host a club, I am famous for my drag, I’m proud of it cause it’s what I am, but I will never be anything to anybody, I’ll never make a cover of a magazine, no one will esay say “Shelley Benet is the star”, cause she’s a failure of a star… come stand next to her if you want to look successful…”
“That’s totally untrue!” Darren exclaimed! Both Shelley and Daniel looked at him in surprise, he hadn’t spoken much all morning. “You have done great things with your life, you’ve been what you are, you’re right, what you said the other night, I couldn’t get it out of my head… I look at you and I know to live like this you’ve gotta be more of a man than I will ever be. To receive all the punches of this life wearing high-heels you must be the most remarkable person I’ve met in this damned country!”
Shelley smiled a wide appreciative smile, tears swelling in her eyes.
“It’s all those powder puffs that make us strong,” she sighed, “but you young man, you’re a poet, you don’t speak often but when you do, you make the whole bleeding world listen to you.”
“I might be a poet, but I’m not even allowed to speak up. How’s that for a poet?” bitterness in Darren’s voice cutting through their silence like a knife, “I will never hold Danny’s hand in public once we’re gone from this city, or once everyone knows us in this city. I will never say namename in any of my songs, damn I will never even say his name on stage cause I always fear my voice will break with emotions, I will never kiss him when anyone’s around. Do you want the whole world listen to you when you can’t say what you want to say most? Want to be a star like me?”
Darren and Daniel walked slowly towards their hotel. In silence. They were both deep in thoughts. They entered their hotel room and without saying a word embraced each other in a tight close hug. Slowly, reflecting each other’s moves, they undressed each other. First Daniel’s shirt. Then Darren’s t-shirt. Daniel’s belt. Daniel’s pants falling to his ankles. Darren’s jeans falling on the floor, his leather studded belt making a loud sound when it touches the floor. Darren dropping on his knees and helping Daniel out of his shoes and then his pants are off completely. He gets up, stopping for a second at Daniel’s crotch and giving it a soft gentle kiss through the fabric of his underwear. Darren stepping out of his jeans but nearly tripping over his shoes, Daniel smiling and leaning down to help him. Daniel takes Darren’s hand and leads him to the bed. They sit each on their own side of the bed and take off their socks and their underwear. Completely naked they lay down on the bed facing each other. They get so close their bodies are touching yet they don’t wrap around each other. Just yet. They look at each other in despair. Darren’s eyes are crying.
“What’s the matter baby?” Daniel whispers, knowing very well what is the matter.
“I’m afraid. I know it’s going to happen.” Darren whispers back.
“What will happen?” Daniel asks trying to smile.
“We will never be that close again. We will never be that close when we go back. We will never be that close, and the more we achieve…”
Daniel shushed him and gently put his hand over Darren’s lips, slowly letting the other hand slip under Darren’s head and around his shoulders, drawing him closer. “shhhh… we are together, it’s all that matters.”
Darren grabbed Daniel’s hand and took it away from his lips. He looked at Daniel as if he has already seen the future. “We will be strangers one day cause THEY will make us to be strangers…”
Daniel smiled, suddenly reflecting Darren’s bitterness. “Hey there stranger, want to make love to me?”
