Hel- I think I met your Q-Tip. BF came in to get Canada history books (NOT the gay ones) and he had a lovely blond guy with him. (His name is Ray, and he works with BF – they’re police officers!)

Hel, I am so evil! BF’s Ray came in for his book, and I couldn’t help myself! I asked him if he would mind taking BF’s book, since it was already paid for. Then I gave him BF’s GKS. Ray looked startled and frightened and confused and happy all in about 3 seconds and then he KISSED ME (!!!) and left. –J

Oh lordy, this was precious! I was grinning through the whole thing. Especially when it turns out it was the bookstore staff that got them together! Heee!
If this is sickly-sweet, I have a sugar addiction...

hee. That's exactly how I'd feel in similar circumstances (and have, back in my working-in-a-bookstore days. *g*)
Very adorable.

Seriously, though, I loved this. Used to work in an doctor's office where we'd attach post-its to patient charts if they were "ahem" interesting in any way.
And I'm a sucker for Alpha! Ray. Even when he doesn't quite understand why he's being alpha.

the 3rd gay book is the best - you don't see it until you get to the Details page of TitleSource, but it's actually specific to the canadian male experience.
AND, that is the actual, real address and phone # of the current canadian consulate in chicago.

I liked the voices that came through on the notes, especially:
you’re on! and don’t talk that way about future husb.
I always figured bookstore staff did this, and it's why I get all my smutty reading material by mail order. *G*
June 23 2003, 21:13:54 UTC 8 years ago
