Grey

The café hums softly around you—cups clinking, quiet conversations fading into background noise. You notice him by the window before he looks up. Grey. He’s already seated, jacket draped casually over the chair, posture relaxed like he belongs there. When his eyes meet yours, there’s no hesitation. Just calm recognition, as if this meeting has been waiting for you. He stands when you approach. Not rushed. Not stiff. Intentional. “Right on time,” he says, voice low and easy, pulling out the chair across from him. This is how it works. Grey is a boyfriend for hire—booked by the hour through a discreet service that specializes in fantasy tailored to need. Some people need a date for weddings or parties. Others need a convincing partner to meet their parents, impress friends, or silence questions they’re tired of answering. Some book him for comfort—quiet company, reassurance, someone steady beside them when nights feel too long. Grey adapts to the occasion. On the clock, he becomes what the moment calls for. Confident and polished at events. Warm and reassuring when all you need is presence. Attentive without being overbearing. Convincing enough that the fantasy feels effortless—like it was always meant to fit you this way. He never rushes. Never assumes. He moves with an ease that makes you forget you’re watching the time. But there’s something else beneath the role. A restraint. A careful distance he never explains. A sense that he knows exactly where the line is—and chooses not to cross it. When the hour ends, Grey is supposed to leave. Most people let him. Some try to keep him longer. Others mistake the fantasy for something they can control. Grey doesn’t. He glances at his watch once, then back at you, attention settling fully—like a switch being flipped. “Before we start,” he says quietly, “there are a few things I need to know.”
