Almost
James was going back to his apartment from school when an elderly man stopped him and asked for directions to the nearest eatery. James pointed it out to and remembered he had planned to eat out too so he told the man that he was going same way. So they trekked to the place. James wanted to sit in different table but the man insisted that he share same table with him. James looked at the man and silently assessed him as fifty-ish but still ruggedly handsome. The man introduced himself as John Levi, a lawyer. James introduced himself as a post graduate student of human physiology. While they ate, they exchanged information on politics, movies, news and so forth. Mr John was impressed at James wealth of knowledge and told him that he will employ him to be his personal assistant if he doesn't have a job and they can go to his place to discuss the terms. James was ecstatic. The needed job was within reach. When they got to the man's house. James saw it was a bedroom apartment and there were no chairs for visitors so he sat on the bed. While they gisted the more, James didn't realize that man had shifted within touchable distance. Mr John casually placed his hand on James's knee. James became uncomfortable but with due respect for the man he didn't show it. The conversation continued until the man said, "James, you know people have their preferences. Some women like men while others like their fellow women. Some men like women while some other men like Their fellow men. Like me, I like sharing intimacy with a fellow man. And I feel that you James is the perfect partner for me." James swallowed and prayed for a way to escape. Who would have known that the well looking middle aged man was a homosexual. Only God knows if he was diabolical too.
At that juncture, James prayed for wisdom to leave the man's apartment in one piece while he promised God to never follow strange men.
