Chapter 8: A Dilemma for Ollie

Just before five with an eye on the clock for closing, Lewis saw a young man enter, look around and study him. He showed no sign of moving from the door. Lewis finished serving then went over to him.

‘You must be Ollie,’ he said offering his hand. ‘Yes,’ Ollie said looking a little uncertain. ‘If you go through to the back room,’ Lewis said pointing at the door, ‘We close in a few minutes, my boss will be going home, then we can chat on our own. If you can make a coffee for you and me while you wait that would be great.’

‘I’ll tell you what happens next, answer your questions then you can decide if you want to stay or not.’ ‘Ok,’ Ollie said and went through to the back.

Not long after, after seeing the last customer out, Mike locked up and Lewis went through to the back. Ollie was sitting at the table with two cups of coffee waiting.

Mike came in, saw Ollie and said, ‘Hi,’ He gave his usual spiel about Lewis, picked up his coat and said, ‘I’m off home, good luck.’ and left.

Lewis saw him out and after a hug and a kiss in the shop, ‘See you Monday.’ Mike said and set off home.

Going back in, Lewis sat at the table with Ollie and had his coffee. He explained all about leaving anytime and confidentiality. ‘If you decide to stay,’ Lewis told him, ‘We won’t look at or even discuss your problem to start with.’

‘First of all, I’ll get you relaxed with me whilst you tell me all about yourself. Only when you feel really at ease will we look at your problem. Do you have any questions?’ ‘You’re very young,’ Ollie said, ‘What makes you think you can sort me out when you have no idea what the problem is?’

‘Mainly because I’ve done it so many times before,’ Lewis replied. ‘But actually, it’s rarely difficult to find a solution. The problem is getting someone relaxed and at ease enough to tell me what the problem is.’

‘That could be difficult,’ Ollie said, ‘Because I’m not sure even I know that.’ Lewis grinned. ‘Don’t worry,’ he said, ‘You know everything we need but it just needs uncovering from your subconscious.’

‘Are you going to hypnotise me?’ Ollie asked looking worried. ‘No, as far as I know that is not a skill I have.’ Lewis answered with a smile. Ollie looked relived at that. ‘Ok, I’d like to try.’ he said.

They had finished their coffees so Lewis told him to take his shoes off and go and lie down on the settee. Sitting on the edge by him he told him ‘Nothing in here will hurt you. Everything that happens will be after I’ve told you what it is, and you have agreed. In a moment I’ll ask you to turn over. Then I’ll massage your back from head to foot and back whilst I ask you questions all about you and your life.’

‘If I ask anything you find too embarrassing to answer at that point, just say ‘Pass’ and we’ll move on. If you want to stop at any time, all you need to do is call out ‘Stop’ ok?’

‘Ok,’ Ollie said feeling more at ease already. ‘Turn over when you’re ready.’ Lewis told him. Once he was comfortable, Lewis rested his hands on Ollies head and started massaging. As he moved down onto his shoulders, Lewis asked, ‘Where did you live before you moved into your new flat.’

‘At home with my mum, dad and younger sister.’ Ollie told him. ‘How did you all get on together?’ Lewis asked as he reached his waist. ‘Fine,’ Ollie said, ‘We’ve always been a happy family. I only moved out because I got a new job near here. I decided twenty-five miles each way, each day, was too much.’

As he answered Lewis had gone over his cheeks. He felt a bit of tension but not a lot. As soon as he moved onto his thighs it faded immediately. ‘Why did you change jobs?’ Lewis asked as he moved down his legs towards his feet.

As he started back up again Ollie said, ‘It’s the same firm as I have worked for since I left school. They started a new works near here a year ago. A few months back the boss offered me a promotion if I moved to the new works.’

As Lewis massaged over his cheeks he continued without any tension. ‘As its twenty-five miles from home, I decided it was time to move into my own place nearer to work. I took two weeks holiday to go looking for a place. I decided to share to start with as it’s easier to move out if it doesn’t work out.’

As he went up his back Lewis asked, ‘Were you anticipating that it wouldn’t?’ Ollie said, ‘Oh no, it’s just me being over cautious as usual. I’ve been very happy at my old job so there’s no reason to expect this will be any different. I’ve been there six weeks now and everything is fine.’

Lewis reached his head and told him to turn over.

Settling in place, Ollie said with a sigh, ‘I’ve never had much confidence in myself.’ ‘There’s plenty of folk like that.’ Lewis said with a grin. As he massaged the front of his head, he said, ‘I’m going to go down your front now just the same and with more questions.’

Ollie was about five foot ten with broad shoulders and a well-padded stomach. Moving onto his shoulders he asked, ‘How did you find the new flat?’ ‘I came over to see one of the local letting agents,’ Ollie told him. ‘Then afterwards I was looking in a newsagent’s window. There was an advert for the flat.’

As Lewis massaged down his chest, Ollie told him, ‘I rang the number and was invited to go to see it. Vincent was there and showed me round. I liked it right away and we seemed to hit it off too. Jerry the other tenant was out but Vincent told me he was quiet and easy to get on with.’

‘I asked what I had to do to apply?’ He said, ‘Hang on a moment.’ He went into his room and came out with some papers.’ ‘Here’s a lease,’ he said, ‘Sign up and then set up a standing order for your rent and you can move in.’

As Lewis moved onto the front of his trousers, Ollie tensed up, ‘Then said, ‘Sorry, I’m very shy.’ He stayed tense as Lewis massaged over his cock which was soft but felt a reasonable size. As Lewis moved onto the front of his thighs he relaxed, then continued.

‘Seeing my surprise, Vincent grinned and said, ‘My dad owns the place. I get the final say so on new tenants as I have to live with them. Any I don’t like the look of get turned down.’ ‘I was delighted, I filled it in right away and moved in the next day. I remember thinking, well at least we shouldn’t have to wait long for repairs.’

‘I met Jerry when I was moving in. He was lovely and the first week all was well.’ As Lewis started back up from his feet, he asked, ‘How did your girlfriend feel about you moving away?’ Ollie went quiet with a trace of a blush. ‘I haven’t got one,’ he said, ‘I’m too shy.’

‘Is that too shy to ask a girl out or too shy to do anything with her?’ Lewis asked as he moved onto the front of his trousers. As he tensed up again Ollie replied, ‘Too shy to ask one out.’ As he passed over his cock Lewis felt the slightest of movements. He carried on as if he hadn’t noticed.

Ollies neck went slightly red, then as Lewis moved onto his stomach it went and his tension disappeared too. ‘So, are you a virgin?’ Lewis asked as he started up his chest. Ollie went bright red at that and took a while before he managed to answer quietly, ‘Yes.’

‘Nothing wrong with that,’ Lewis told him, ‘Plenty of people of your age still are.’ Massaging his temples, then his head, Lewis took his hands away and smiled at him. ‘You’re doing fine.’ he said.

‘Now, in a moment I want you to take your top things off, turn over again and then I’ll go down your back once more. I’m sure you know that being massaged on the bare skin of your back will be much nicer than on your clothes, so it will help you relax a lot.’

‘If you feel able to do that, turn over. If not stay as you are, and I’ll go down your front again.’ Ollie had swelled up a bit more as Lewis asked him about being a virgin, enough he thought to show through his trousers if he stayed as he was.

He sat up quickly, pulled his top things off and turned over as he lay down. Once he was lying still, Lewis put his hands back on his head. ‘Well done.’ he said as he massaged.

Moving on down to his muscular shoulders, Lewis massaged the skin as he said, ‘To get you able to tell me everything, even all the things in your subconscious you don’t know that you know, I need to get you completely relaxed with me. That means amongst many other things, being able to discuss sex with me. I can tell that you find it a very embarrassing subject, so getting you relaxed is very important. I can tell you that every problem I have dealt with so far has involved sex in some form or another. I will be very surprised if yours doesn’t too. But we’ll never find out if you can’t talk to me about it. As a bonus, you will find that discussing sex with me will very likely give you more confidence in yourself.’
