Lourens would never have thought of himself as gay and was happy to be married, but that itch to fool around with another man was always with him. Their encounters were unfortunately not as fulfilling as Lourens would have liked, because the other guy didn’t seem to be as enthusiastic as Lourens was about their assignations. At school he'd had a brief fling with another guy, which he had enjoyed very much. All in all Lourens was happy, but there was one thing that he always had in the back of his mind.
