We discovered a lot about each other that night. You can't spend all day and practically all night together and not know the other person fairly intimately and his certain well guarded secrets too. Some facts about the 'Greek God' Zaman:
1. He had the most amazing body I had ever laid eyes on.
(He had changed into shorts and a snug fit T-shirt before getting into bed)
2. He had a 'thing' for scented oils and he favoured lavender and sandalwood.
(He went for frequent body massages he confessed. We even decided to go for a massage together the following weekend)
3. He loved animations...common interest that brought us closer still...
(That's what we did until 4:20 am. We watched Mulan and then Mulan II. He wanted to do Brother Bear as well, but I was honestly exhausted and turned down the offer. And there was work in a few hours!)
4. He was gay.
(He admitted this at precisely 4:37 am...)
Zaman: "Stay."
Silence. I couldn't get the words out!
After a while...
Me: "what exactly do you have in mind?"
Silence.
What he said next came out too softly...
Zaman: "Spend the rest of the night here. There is plenty of room on this bed for the both of us and there are only a few hours left before we have to go to work anyway. I am not proposing anything more. I swear."
I just looked at him...and then I went on looking at him...wondering...
Me: "You are gay." I finally got it...and announced it too before I could think of a milder way of saying it.
Zaman: "Yes. I am harmless. Will you stay?"
Me: "Do the others know?"
Zaman: "No. I have spent very little time with these guys in Auz. Considering I joined the organization only a month ago I haven't made forever friends yet."
Me: "Hmmm...Do you want me to keep the secret?"
Zaman: "I don't know yet. I am still undecided."

I stayed a while longer...we talked.
