Falling in Love - Chapter 4
"OK Todd, the numbers for the hotel are on the board by the phone and you know the cel phone number."
"Yes Mom, I know..."
"Well, give your father a hug," she said.
I hugged my dad and mom and told them goodbye. It was Friday evening and Monday was my dad's birthday so they had planned a weekend at the coast just the two of them. Even better, my sister was not coming home from college this weekend, as she had finals to study for. I watched out the front window and waved as they drove off. I sat in the living room reading for a while. Looking at the clock I realized it was almost 8pm.
"Oh shit," I said to no one in particular. "Jake will be here soon."
I jumped up from the chair and walked down the hall to my room. Just as I was taking off my clothes to shower, I heard a knock at the door. I ran down the hall, peeked out the peephole. Sure enough it was Jake, looking cute as ever. I opened the door, hiding myself behind it and peering around to invite him in. He looked at me with a funny look on his face.
"What??"
"Why are you hiding," he asked coyly.
"Uh because I was getting ready to jump in the shower."
"Oh my lord you are NAKED!" he exclaimed suddenly, coming in the door to see.
"I am not, I have boxers on."
"Damn," he said with mock disappointment.
I laughed and closed the door behind him, walking back down the hall to the bathroom.
"You can sit in here while I shower if you like," I told him.
He agreed. Suddenly I realized that I had to get my boxers off before I got in the shower but was feeling weird about being naked in front of Jake. I casually got into the tub, pulled the curtain closed and took off my boxers. I tossed them over the curtain rod just as Jake said something.
"Are you going to shower with--"
Hearing him stop, I peeked out to see him pulling my boxers off his head. He was beet red.
"OH my god did they land on you?" I asked.
"Ummm... yeah," he said chuckling softly.
"I am SO sorry."
"Don't worry about it."
We chatted while I showered, a few jokes made about me being naked, or him coming in to join me. We both laughed and I kinda secretly hoped that he would come in and join me, but he didn't. I finished and turned the shower off.
"Can you hand me that blue towel?"
Jake grabbed the towel and I stuck my hand out and grabbed it. I toweled off quickly and wrapped it around my waist. I stepped out of the bathtub and Jake was standing right in front of me. Before I could say anything, he wrapped his arms around me in a big hug. I looked at him and gave him a big kiss.
"Mmmmm... I missed you," I said.
"I missed you too."
I held him for a bit then broke away and walked to my room, beckoning him to follow. He sat on my bed while I picked out some clothes to wear.
"You know... you look really cute in just a towel," he said grinning. I stopped and looked at him.
"Oh do I?"
"Yeah... love the chest hair."
That did it. I ran over and pounced on him, pinning him to the bed. He laughed loudly and tried to get up, but he kept laughing which kept him from being able to throw me off. Finally he quieted down and looked me in the eye. I leaned down to kiss him. Suddenly, he reached down and yanked off my towel, throwing it across the floor before I could stop him.
"OH my GOD!!!" I exclaimed. I spun around, off him and pulled my comforter over me. "I cannot believe you did that."
"I can... how could I help myself?" he laughed. I pulled him into me again, kissing him deeply. He kissed back with as much fire as I felt in myself. I pulled off his shirt and threw it on the floor. We kissed more, hands exploring each other's bodies. I ran my hand through the hair on the back of his head, then down his neck and back until I was caressing his ass. Our tongues touched again and again as we passionately explored each other. After a while, we stopped. I opened my eyes when I heard a little gasp from Jake.
"What?" I asked.
"Umm... that," Jake said, pointing at my crotch. Just then I remembered that I was still naked and that I had a hardon. And this would be the first time that Jake had actually seen it.
"OH... uhhh..." I stammered. "Maybe we better get ready to go."
"OK yeah," he smiled.
I got up. He snickered at my dick pointed straight out from my body. I huffed at him and proceeded to put on the boxers and then the clothes I had picked out. I tossed him his shirt as I went to do my hair and stuff. We finished getting ready and grabbed our coats. On the way out, I checked all the doors and turned off the lights. Mom and Dad had left Dad's truck here and told me I could drive it if I needed to. I grabbed his keys and we headed out the door.
We climbed in the truck, found a suitable radio station after gagging at Dad's Jazz station, and drove off. We were headed off to the City, the all ages gay club that had been the cause of Jake and I getting together. After a few minutes, Jake spoke.
"So... it's nice."
"Huh? What is?"
"Your... uhhh... piece," he grinned.
I blushed deeply.
"Oh uhh thanks, I guess."
He reached over and put his hand on my leg. It was amazing. I was so happy with him. He did all these little things that made me feel like a million dollars. He was so amazing to talk to. Jake had been able, in the weeks we had been together, to help me with all sorts of things in my life. My temper, my self esteem. Funny thing was I did not even know if he KNEW he had this effect on me. Sometimes it made me feel guilty because I had no idea what he got out of this whole thing. I mean, did I do the same thing for him? Did I make him feel like a better person? Sometimes I felt really weird that we had not had sex yet, but another part of me was really happy that WE were happy without sex.
I was jogged out of this train of thought when I realized we were downtown and I needed to find a parking place. I parked the truck and we hopped out and walked to the club. Jake surprised me by paying for both of us to get in.
"You didn't have to do that," I said.
"I know," he simply said, smiling and giving me a small hug.
We walked in and checked our coats into the Coat Check. Near the front of the club, there were a bunch of tables and chairs, so we grabbed one and sat down. We were there for a while, chatting and talking. I asked Jake if he wanted something to drink. He nodded so I got up and went to the bar, where I waited in line, then ordered two Dr. Peppers. When I got them and headed back over to the table, I noticed someone was sitting with Jake. Wondering who it was, I approached, handed Jake his drink and sat down next to him.
"Hi there," the guy said warmly. He was cute, dark hair, nice eyes with a sincere smile and fascinating lips. "My name is Sam."
"I am Todd," I replied with an unsure smile.
"I just wanted to come over and tell you two cuties hi," he said. "I am going to go dance, if you want to come..."
"Maybe in a bit," Jake said before I could reply.
"OK well, it was nice meeting you two," Sam said as he stood up and walked out to the dance floor. We looked at each other and smiled. Chatting idly about stuff, the night continued to pass. Soon Sam returned with a few friends.
"Can we join you," he asked, gesturing to the two other chairs.
"Uhh sure..." I said, noting there was three of them and only 2 chairs. Jake got up to get another chair, but changed his mind and plopped down suddenly in my lap. I laughed and put my arms around his waist, hugging him tight. Sam and his friends sat down.
"So are you two together?" Sam asked.
"Yeah."
"Wow that's great. You make a cute couple."
Sam introduced his friends and we all sat and talked. Talked about the music. Talked about the other cute guys running around. Laughed about the drag queens. Sam was a very social guy. Lots of guys kept coming up and saying hi. Sam introduced us to all of them. Jake sat on my lap, every once in a while, he leaned down and gave me a kiss. I couldn't help but feel amazingly happy that night. I was so much in love with Jake that I wanted to tell everyone about him. Just being around him made me happy.
Eventually, Sam got Jake and I out on the dance floor when we both recognized a Madonna song and wanted to dance. We danced for a while before Jake pulled me close on the dance floor and whispered something in my ear.
"I love you," he whispered.
I stopped dead. My stomach seemed to tighten up as my heart leapt in my throat. I just stood there looking at him with a dumb smile on my face. Hey dummy, I thought to myself, he just said he loves you... say something to him. I grabbed him and lifted him off the floor into a hug.
"I love you too, Jake," I said, meaning every word.
"Thanks," he said. "Now will you put me down, please."
I laughed and dropped him on the dance floor. He laughed and punched me in the arm. I looked over at Sam who smiled his amazing infectious smile and we all kept dancing. Long around 1am, Jake asked me if I was tired. I said yeah, so we decided to head home. Jake and I said our good byes to Sam and his cute friends, then grabbed our coats and headed home. All the way home, Jake sat with his hand on my thigh. Not much was said, we just listened to the radio.
Before long, I was pulling the truck into my driveway. I parked and we went inside. We headed for my room where I promptly flopped down on my bed, while Jake sat in my computer desk chair. We chatted for a while about this and that, how cool Sam was, the music at the club.
"Jake, why do you love me?" I asked.
"Uhh... I dunno," he said. "Cuz of how you make me feel."
"How do I make you feel?"
"Like... I don't know... you are such a great guy, I mean you are amazing. I cannot believe how much you are like everything I want and like. It is kinda weird. And like, I am still finding stuff that I can't believe you fit so well."
"Wow... that's really cool. See I was worried about you not feeling anything close to what I feel."
"Really? What do you mean?"
"I am so happy with you and around you. You are so amazing to talk to. I mean... like things about myself that I do... in the time we have been together ... have gotten better just cuz you are there."
"Like what?" Jake asked.
"Like my temper, my self esteem. I dunno, I am calmer. More affectionate ... to other people too, not just you. I guess I am just better when you are around."
Jake smiled and walked over to the bed where he laid down on top of me and gave me a huge laying down hug. As always, his touch made me tingle. I lifted my head from the bed and kissed his soft lips. He kissed back, surprising me when his tongue brushed my lips. I opened my mouth slightly and touched his tongue with mine in a delicate, romantic and loving kiss. I broke the kiss, laid my head down and looked up into his eyes.
"I love you Jay," I said, using the little nickname I had started calling him.
"I love you too."
This time when we kissed, it was with more of the fire I felt inside. More of the passion that had surged in me every time I looked at him. Every time I watched him on the dance floor, or in the halls at school. At that moment I did not want anything or anyone else. Just Jake. As we kissed deeply, I inhaled the scent of his cologne into my lungs. He always smelled so good. Jake slowly rolled off me until we lay side by side, facing each other, hands exploring and tongues dancing passionately to the waves of emotion that seemed to roll over us.
Nothing seemed to stand in the way of our expressions of love. Not clothing, not hesitation, not even words. Unfettered by anything, our naked bodies seemed to come alive against each other, as our tongues explored each other's body, as our hands caressed and stroked the other's skin. Not once did we break contact, but kept touching the entire time, neither wanting anything to end.
After a seemingly heavenly eternity, first Jake, then I, surged to a climax of desire. As I slowly returned to myself, I smiled and turned to look at Jake, who smiled back. Together, we had taken a new step. I was not nervous. I did not regret or worry now like I did before. Nothing had changed for the worse. On the contrary, my feelings for Jake and his for mine seemed to take on a whole new depth. I kissed him gently, switched off the light and drew the blankets around us as we drifted off together. Before I was fully asleep, a thought entered my head that made me smile and cuddle closer to Jake. We had not had sex. We had made love.
"I love you, J."
"Mmmm... love you too," he answered sleepily.
As before, any constructive input on the story is welcome. It has been a while since the last installment, for those who have waited, I am sorry. Personal issues came up. I have found that to write this particular story, I must be in a certain frame of mind and have had nothing to make me feel the things needed to tell the story of Jake and Todd. As you can tell, I finally decided to let them have sex, but due to the nature of the story, I decided it should be done tastefully, without blunt and detailed description. Hopefully this will still keep the story enjoyable for those who liked the story without sex, and give a little spice to those who missed it. :-)
More to follow as I figure out where else to take the boys.
