Recent Post: WE LIVE TOGETHER WELIVETOGETHER had spoken several times since then, making a few references to that fateful evening, mostly speaking of it in animated tones, referring to it in a flirtatious manner.
He phoned me one evening with an invitation to a party to be held by some industry friends he had recently made. The party was being held in a Hollywood hotel, in one of the penthouse suites.
He mentioned that there were other friends he had invited when I commented that I didn¡¦t want anyone to think we were "together".
"It¡¦s cool" he explained.
"I told them I was inviting a few friends and neighbors" he added.
"You will be presented as one of my neighbors".
I agreed that it was a sound plan and he gave me the details of the date and time.
We drove to the hotel together the evening of the party and entered the hotel lobby. He greeted several other young men and women and began chatting with them casually.
"Good." I thought to myself.
"No one thinks anything of me being here with him".
Quite frankly, no one had even noticed me, and I was fine with that.
Jakes¡¦s friends quickly entered the elevators to head up to the hotel suite, while he stayed behind, using the hotel phone in the lobby. He mentioned that there was another friend he wanted to check in with, and that friend was staying in the hotel.
