19 & The Gentleman
19 was the age of the secretly lonesome boy/man as he found parking amongst the part of town robust with hotels. He didn't know the difference, but with age he would increasingly gain a wiser ability to discern between a boy & a man which was age irrelevant. As he killed the engine, he gripped the steering wheel as he tried to make sense of his choice and its impulsivity.
"What the fuck are you doing? Is it for the experience? He's not even remotely your type, I mean he's big but James Corden he is definitely not"

His facial expression led 19 to feel he knew it was superficiality along with a persons difficulty to say no. 19 knew because he was that person.

" I'm not surprised. Young equals irresponsibility, lying caused by fear of conflict, broken promises, the list of young man disorders carry length, throw a rainbow in that mess and I dunno. However, now that we've both kept our words...?"
19 arched a single eyebrow with the intention of conveying his interest in what comes next.

The gentleman, who was a sweetheart through & through asked 19 if he was hungry, or if he wanted to see the gentleman's room, with a slightly embarrassed smirk. The gentleman added
"We can just brainstorm plans in a...
