Story of my life (Ep. 4): At a Video Rental

Nowadays if you want to find something – use Google, bro! But in 1999 Internet wasn’t a common thing. Even computers weren’t in every house of the country. Especially if we are talking about Belarus, not the richest country in the world. So, if you need a porn – go to the Video Rental! There we went with Kate instead of a dull Math Class.

The nearest Video Rental was right at the corner of our school. A lovely shop man, whose arms were covered with tattoos, smiled when he saw us.

‘Shrinking the lessons?’ he asked.

‘And what if we are? It’s not your business!’ Kate told him.

‘Shh… We need him’ – I whispered in her ear. She nodded and smiled to the vendor.

‘Sorry! I’m just a little bit tired. Normally I’m not such a bitch!’

‘So, what are you looking for, children?’ he stressed the last word with a false smile.

‘Mm…’ After the “children” it was rather difficult to concentrate on the subject. – ‘We need a…’

‘So… You need a – what?’

‘Holly shit! We need a gay porn!’ Kate aggressively told him. – ‘Do you have any problem with it?’

‘Absolutely not!’ he was laughing. – ‘So young, so brave. Ok, we have several DVD’s with what you are looking for.’

‘And you don’t need our passports?’ I asked with a shock.

‘What for? If you are a gay, it’s a problem of your parents. Not mine.’ He answered calmly. – ‘Besides of this, I’m sure you are not going to tell anybody about it. If you asked me about heterosexual porn, I would tell you “no”. It could cause me a lot of problems. But if you like to watch how to men are fucking each other – you are welcome in my shop! Have a nice day, kid!’

I understood immediately that he was right. I wasn’t going to tell anybody about our visit to the Video Rental. Neither was Kate.
