Shoes
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
It's no secret to those who claim to know me that I have an 'extra soft spot' (soft spot for shopping in general) for buying shoes. Of course wearing them is another matter, but the exhilaration I feel while selecting and buying a pair of shoes is indescribable. Both Jackie and Ak know this side of me well. After all AK show me buying shoes in Delhi, where it was cheaper, like it was the only ration I should stockpile before the third world war! And Jackie had seen my mouth watering like a dog-in-front-of-bone as we passed many a shoe-shop windows displaying the latest designs in all the numerous strolls we had together in the city lanes.A few months ago I was surprised and my curiosity meter broke past the upper limit when the courier-man handed me a parcel box. Sent From: Bangalore, Sender's Name: Jackie. From inside the box a brimming, sexy, sleek David Beckham smiled at me. No! Not Victoria's Beckham, but one of the shoes designed, branded and sold under his name. A note inside read: 'Don't you dare wearing them..... just worship them. Happy New Year, Jackie.' But he knew it well that that wasn't going to happen.... I wore them at the first chance I got which happened to be a date with Ak. I don't know how much it cost, but I knew it was costlier than many things I have, I just felt it when I walked on them. It felt heavenly...... costly!!
Anyway, coming back to the date with AK, it wasn't possible that AK won't notice the shoes, shining in all its glory. After the undressing and dressing up routine that we normally do when we meet, he finally asked me about the shoes. I told him the truth that a friend of mine sent them as a gift and started bragging about how comfortable it was and so on. I haven't really noticed that he remained very quite the whole day while I bragged.
That was January. Come March the shining Beckham Shoes was beginning to looked dull and as Jackie had said- I was worshiping them and I wasn't wearing them. On another meeting with AK, I was telling to myself out loud that I had to buy a pair of running shoes for my early morning running exercise. The next day AK set up an emergency date telling me it was important. When we met he was all smiles and he had a box in his hand- It was a pair of Addidas running shoes, size 7 and 1/2, white, just what I wanted to buy. 'It's yours' he said. Thanks would have been a simple and perfect answer, instead I said,'It must be costly. How did you buy it?' (Meaning: where did you get the money to buy it?) Really, it was a genuine concern on my part because I knew he doesn't have any income right now. But he didn't take it that way because in reply he said dryly, 'Not as costly as the Beckham shoes' By this time I should appropriately be angry but I wasn't because I just realized then that 'my guy' was jealous of another guy giving me a gift. I didn't give him a chance to say another word because his lips were inside my mouth and he understood that this was my way of saying 'thanks'. And yes, he didn't steal the shoes either, as it turned out he got a part-time job.

AWESOME!! I love hearing about your stories with Jackie and AK. They are so romantic, but not too much. I suppose a bit of the slice of life thing, which are rather eloquent as well. They're both really cool guys.
Although I guess it looks like you have two sugar daddies. Haha, just joking.
I can't wait to read more. -

For you it is shoes and for me it is underwear (i.e. briefs, thongs, jocks, etc). I guess we all have some sort of fetish.
