Disappointment Reversed

Just as I was about to leave for Clapham yesterday I got a series of texts from Richard who was already there. It turns out that he was waiting in a queue to get into the street. The queue was going all along Clapham High Street, so I decided not to bother. I was really disappointed, but I think Richard was relieved that I wasn't going as he said he'd give up and go home to bed!!!
Instead, I rethought what I was going to wear (which looked great by the way) and went into town instead a couple of hours later.
Drinking alone isn't always fun, but I enjoyed watching people last night. I was comfortable with how I was looking and I needed to distract myself from thinking about Nick. I did the usual round (for when I am drinking alone), starting in Comptons for one before going on to Rupert Street. I chatted to a Danish guy there for a bit, but there were very few guys I actually fancied.
I then moved on to Barcode. Initially, apart from the lovely bar staff, I didn't recognise anyone (despite one guy insisting that we used to talk all the time there, which may be true but I don't recall it. It must have been when I was drunk! My memory is always hazy then!).
It was a quiet night all over town, probably because of Clapham Street Party and also because London Pride is next weekend.
I wandered around and suddenly saw a gorgeous guy sat upstairs near the bar. He was with another guy, attractive but not as much. The gorgeous guy looked right at me and gave a massive smile. I reciprocated, but did not want to annoy the guy he was with. After a couple more smiles between us the gorgeous guy came over to me and invited me over to be with him and his friend. Apparently he'd seen me in there before and liked me then too. We ended up all kissing, though the other guy was really embarrassed to be doing it in front of people.
The gorgeous guy is named Mauro and he really seemed to like me. He is dark skinned, from Brazil, very muscular (but not overly so) and is a personal trainer at a gym I used to be a member of. He kept ignoring the other guy and eventually that guy just disappeared.
I wasn't going to go home with him, but he persuaded me and we got a taxi back to mine (which he kindly paid for). We had a great time until he tried to fuck me, without a condom. Firstly I don't like to get fucked and I never give or take without a condom (any more, I have been stupid in the past though, but escaped unscathed thankfully). Lastly he was way to big for me to do it drunkenly and unprepared. He was fine when I asked him to stop though.
He then wanted to sleep snuggled up, which I can't do at the best of times, but when it is so humid and hot, as it has been lately, I really couldn't. I tried but got all claustrophobic as usual and had to explain my feelings to him. He said he had to go if he couldn't snuggle up to me all night and called a taxi which was a shame.
He wants to meet up today, but once again I my nose is all bunged up and I'm not sure I want to be wiping it all day in front of him. We shall see.
Oh, and did I mention that, as well as having the same job, he is also the same age as Nick, 24 (though looks older). What a coincidence!
