Ever since Fabulous Felix ditched us for the perfect suburban marriage complete with packed lunches, picket fences and pet golden retriever, I've been having my daily dinners with Piratin Patty. Yes, only the two of us. Dinner, movies, walks in the park. We're even talking of taking up ballroom dancing lessons.
Seriously. Looks like we're like a couple. Only without the obligatory sex.
Which in current heterosexual terms probably means we're married.
Okay. Maybe I don't wear suits all the time!
Even the ever-curious locals have started wondering exactly what's going on with us. Despite the fact that Patty's busybody neighbour knows all too well about my sexual inclinations, Miss Buttinsky hasn't exactly given up hope. Tried to nip her matchmaking compulsions in the bud by coming out but that obviously didn't work.
Neighbour : Out again, you two?
Paul : For the thousandth time. And it still comes as a surprise?
Neighbour : Oh you two make such a nice couple.
Patty : Except he's gay.
Paul : So very gay.
Neighbour : Eh, it's just a phase.
Paul : It's no longer an experimental phase if I'm past thirty.
Patty : And I have better taste!
Neighbour : That's what you two say now. Hee hee.
Hmm. Was it wrong that I felt like smacking Miss Buttinsky with an umbrella?
Is that how the rest of the world sees homosexuality? Just a deviant sexual itch brought forward from college that goes away with the right female antibiotic?

'...sexual itch brought forward from college that goes away with the right female antibiotic...'
they probably don't know that some peeps take training from MRSAs~
kekeke...
[-sounds like gibberish all of a sudden-]
owww she's adorable!
I think that is exactly what the 'neighbours' think. You just need to find the right girl and everything will be fine. The phase will be over.
But saying that depending on the person it could just be that they want you to be happy - and from the outside it looks like you are in that relationship..
So confusing.. :-)
seems like ur neighbor prefer u to be "straight"...
Can you really get more money as a doctor than the author you obviously are. Your use of English is phenomenal, your humour sharp and hilarious, your stories entrancing and engaging. Come on, are you sure you are in the right profession?
its worse when your neighbourhood thinks you two are an item but u just cant announce to the world that ur queer. All u could manage is lay it to rest with a fake smile :)
Next time wear heels and lipstick. :P
'The Right Female Antibiotic'? Hehe, sounds like the next club hit. :P
they're clueless. That's all.
