**** Tommy *****
Jake hurried inside and came out about two minutes later ready to run. We took off down the street. Our pace was a comfortable 8 minute pace, a pace that you can keep up for about 2 hours, yet still gets the blood pumping. Neither of us said a word for the first couple of miles, only unlike this summer it was a comfortable silence. Occasionally I'd glance over at Jake with a smile on my face. He'd see the movement of my head and glance over at me and smile back. God help me, but I was falling for those brown eyes of his. His smile was a drug that I was quickly becoming addicted to. We had just passed two miles, when he looked over at me and simply said, "Thanks." I knew what he meant. After last night, there had been a good chance we'd never really talk again. We both knew it. He had crossed a line that I hadn't been ready for. But I'd come over this afternoon ....
I wasn't sure how to respond to that, however, because of Kevin. In some ways, I wasn't here because of Jake (or was I?), but because Kevin (at least as I saw it) rejected me for Alicia. If Alicia hadn't blundered into AJ's or if we had eaten anywhere else ... Well, if we hadn't of run into Alicia, I'd have hung out with Jake all afternoon and probably not given one thought about Kevin.
While all this was going through my mind, we continued to run for another quarter of a mile, or so. I glanced over at Jake. My lack of reply was apparently starting to worry him. It dawned on me that I had started to grimace a bit as well. He stopped suddenly, and said, with a little tremor in his voice," What?"
"Oh Jake, sorry," I looked around and noticed we were at the entrance to Riverside Park. Riverside Park was a large nature preserve the city had established as a conservation effort. It was huge with lots of trails and fields. "Follow me," I replied and led Jake over to some little used trails. After we had run another ten minutes or so, I stopped us. There was a trail (more of a rabbit run, really) that led down to the river. If you followed it, you came to an rock outcropping at a bend in the river. I'd discovered this place several years ago on my many runs. I often came out here to get away from people. I've never seen anyone else there. It's hidden from view from the trail, but it is completely in the sun. I laid down on the rock ledge, belly down and leaned over to splash some water in my face. Jake followed my example. Afterwards, I sat up and leaned back against the rocks, enjoying their warmth and soaking up some sun. Again, Jake followed my lead.
We sat in silence for several minutes. I don't know what was going through Jake's mind, but me -- I was sorting through my feelings. Thinking about the past 24 hours and what they meant to me. I looked over at Jake and gave him what I hoped was a reassuring smile. His eyes seemed weary, as if he expected me to hit him. I knew what I had to say to him.
I leaned over towards him, and without thinking my hand rested on his upper thigh. I looked into his worried brown eyes and smiled. "Jake, I need to be completely honest with you." Jake was sitting against the rock facing the river. I was seated cross legged facing his side. My right hand was caressing his right thigh. I realized I was doing it, but yet couldn't stop myself. I desperately wanted him to understand.
"Before last night," I began, "I would never have conceived that I would be having this conversation." Jake had turned his face towards me. I could see his eyes brighten a little. I'm guessing the fact that I continued to caress his leg made him realize I wouldn't be out right rejecting him. I knew what I wanted to say, but still wasn't sure how to get the words out.
Jake looked at me. I looked down. After about 30 seconds of silence during which I was trying to find the words, Jake whispered, "You're beginning to think you like guys, right?"
I looked back up at him and replied hoarsely, "yeah. And it scares me."
Just then, I heard a rustling of leaves over the way we had come. I jumped and we both looked up. "It's Kevin," I exclaimed quietly. I could see Kevin heading back up the path. He was wearing his favorite orange University of Texas shirt with khaki shorts. What was he doing down here? I'd never brought him here. He had to have followed us, but why? And why was he dressed in that shirt. He may have cut the sleeves off, but he reserved that shirt for special occasions. For him that was being dressed to the nines. What ever he was up to, he was certainly trying to impress someone. And then I remembered -- Alicia. I guess he really was trying to turn in his V-card tonight. For the life of me, I could not see what Kevin saw in her. I thought he had more self-respect than to give it up for a bitch like Alicia.
Jake looked back at me. The worried look had returned. In fact, it was deeper than before. "You really like him, don't you?"
I realized I had a smile on my face. Jake's frown deepened when he saw it. I laughed, reading his mind. He had it completely backwards. I had been prepared to tell him that I was attracted to him, but had some strong feelings for Kevin that I had to resolve. But, suddenly, seeing Kevin there cleared up one thing in my mind, my feelings towards him. I loved Kevin, yes, but not in the way I had thought. This truth was emphasized by the fact that when I saw Kevin, I had kept my hand on Jake's thigh.
Leaving my right hand there, I raised my left hand and caressed his cheek. He turned his body towards me, so we were both sitting cross legged, face each other. I took a moment to admire him. His shaggy dark hair, the 'soul patch' he had on his chin, his lips, his smooth chest. I thought back to last night, and Jake exploring my chest, ... my stomach, ... my groin.
I smiled, yes, I knew what I had to say to Jake, ...
What I wanted to say to Jake, ...
What I needed to say to Jake.
"You got it wrong Jake," I began. "Yes, I like Kevin, I even love him. We've known each other since the day we were born, literally. And, until I just saw him, I was going to tell you that I had to work out my feeling for him first." Jake's frown remained steady while I said this. Yet, his eyes seemed to brighten a little more with a glimmer of hope.
"But..." he asked cautiously.
"But.... just seeing him now, all decked out to see *Alicia" (I said her name very deprecatingly) "made me realized, I do like him a lot -- AS A BROTHER -- the brother I never had, yet always had in him. True, I thought my feelings might be more. But -- Jake, it was you that I ran to without thinking when I needed someone to lean on."
My hand stopped caressing his cheek and down to play with the hairs on his chin, like I had last night. I then grabbed the hairs and gently pulled, bringing our faces a little closer. "It was you who helped me snap out of my funk this afternoon, just because I saw you."
I moved my hand around the back of his neck and I applied a little pressure, moving our faces closer until our foreheads touched. Electricity raced through my body, from the point of contact on my forehead to my toes, my skin tingled with goose bumps.
"It was you who's wandering hand made me realize that there was a better option than girls." I said this last with a whistful smile. Our noses were almost touching. I could smell Jake.
"Really?" Jake asked with a sniffle. We were staring in each others eyes. His brown eyes glistened with unshed tears. Damn, if I couldn't help but get lost in his eyes.
I leaned in.
Jake leaned in.
Was I really going to do this? Did I want to do this? I'd never even been this close to a girl. Now here was Jake, I could feel his breath on my lips. I could smell his sweat. I could hear his heart and feel his pulse through my hands.
Our lips touched. Tentative at first. They touched and then pulled apart. We kissed again, longer, for 5 seconds. Again, we pulled apart. We touched again for a third time.
And then I open my mouth; Jake opened his, and our tongues found each other.
I have never felt anything so intense and so personal as our kiss. Sharing our taste and our tongues seemed so right. Our bodies came together and we ended up standing so we could embrace fully. Jake's arms encircled me, our bare chests smacking together. I had this desire to push myself into Jake. I exerted pressure on my groin and experienced Jake returning the desire. I was hard as I've ever been, as for the first time, I felt his hardness as our two cocks rubbed together through our running shorts.
The whole word seemed different, brighter. It was as if I could hear everything, the birds chirping in the air, animals scurrying around the park, the wind moving branches back and forth.
Jakes heart beating against mine, his dick throbbing in rhythm with mine.
After what seemed like eternity passing in a split second, but was more like 2 to 3 minutes, Jake broke apart.
"That was intense Tommy," He kept his hands on my side, my hands were around his neck. We must have looked like we were slow dancing. "But, my uncle is going to be starting supper soon, let's head back."
He leaned in and gave me a quick peck on the lips before dropping his arms. I followed suit and I lead him back up the trail, where we picked up on our run and headed back to Jake's house.
*** Kevin *************
I found myself at the edge of the bank by the river. I noticed a trail that had a couple of footprints in it. That must be where they had gone. I followed it down until I came to the spot where I could see Tommy and the other boy. They were sitting next to each other enjoying the afternoon sun. I was about to call out Tommy's name, when I saw him lean over as if he were about to tell the other boy something. Then I saw his hand rest on the boy's leg, like on the upper thigh. It's not a place you normally touch another guy....
Unless...
Tommy?
Like another boy?
In that instant, I didn't know what I thought about that, I only knew that the feeling hurt. I turned quickly and rushed up the path.
I don't really remember making my way back to the bike, my mind kept going in circles around that fact that Tommy had been intimately close to some other guy, some other guy I didn't even know. He looked familiar, but I couldn't place him. Why was I so hurt? Was it because Tommy ** was ** apparently interested in guys, and the other guy wasn't me?
That question formed in my conscious as I got back on my bike. I started to pedal and mulled it over. I realized I my hurt was simmering.
I also realized that, no, I wasn't hurt because Tommy was about to mack with some guy other than me. In fact, seeing him with that other guy had actually lifted a big weight off my shoulders.
So, why was I mad? Because "I didn't know about Tommy", I finally concluded. Tommy and I were bro's. We tell each other everything. Well, almost everything. Why'd he hold out on this?
I gnawed at the question the rest of the way to Zac's. By time I arrived, I was feeling a lot better. In the end, I asked myself, what would I have done in Tommy's place, and had to admit that I wouldn't have told me either. Shit, I've never told him I like guys, why would he be any braver in that department.
Zac's house was off the road about 1/4 of a mile. I have a dirt bike, so it was no problem biking down the dirt driveway. The house was a typical three story white square farm house, with screened in porch and all. Zac had seen me coming and was waiting on his front porch. He was shirtless, leaning on the porch railing. His pose accentuated his chest. Lord, he was awesome to look at.
As I stopped the bike and got off, Jake was waving to me.
"Welcome to my humble abode," he called out with false elegance. As I walked up the porch steps, the house door opened, and out stepped Lisa.
I stopped dead. Had I misread Zac's invite after all? Was he trying to set me up with Julie?
Julie started laughing when she saw what must have looked like a look of horror on y face. "Surprised to see me, Kevin? I gotta say, Friday night you were at the top of my shit list, but my cuz here explained the horrible calamity of events that took place Friday night. I wouldn't wish Alicia on my worst enemy. Sorry it didn't work out for you." Lisa snarked the last sentence out with a large serving of sarcasm.
"So you here so we can make up?" I asked tentatively.
Lisa laughed again. "Kevin you are so transparent, it's a wonder that no one caught on about you before Zac. Zac told me he had invited you over for the evening, so I thought I better come over as well and chaperone you too. Can't have any scandals in the family, you know." She looked over at Zac and smiled. All along, he had remained in the same spot, arms supporting him on the porch railing.
"As I'm sure you know," Zac finally drawled out, "Lisa speaks her mind. Don't mind her, she never learned when to keep quiet around me. Come on in, let's eat. My folks are off to Phoenix and won't be home until next weekend. I'm here alone, and Lisa likes to come over and keep me company. Actually, I think she just likes to be able to watch TV without her little brothers bothering her about what she's watching."
Lisa had a towel in her hands from the kitchen. She proceeded to flick it Zac for the last comment.
Lisa walked down and grabbed my arm. "So Kevin, tell me all about this situation with Alicia."
Over the next hour, we ate and talked. Lisa listened attentively. We joked and had a nice time. Hanging out with Zac was awesome. But if I had any doubts about why Zac had asked me over, the disappeared quickly. The dinning room table was eight foot rectangular. Lisa sat on an end, and Zac had me sit on one of the sides with him. The food wasn't quite done, so we had sat down and had some pop to drink. No sooner were we sitting then Zac placed his hand on my thigh. No, there was no question.
By the time we finished eating, we had lambasted Alicia a million ways over. After supper, we all pitched in and cleaned up the dishes. After that, Lisa took her leave. She mentioned that Zac had gotten Planet of the Apes for us to watch, and while he was a big fan of Marky Mark, she wasn't.
As she left she gave me a hug and whispered in my ear, "Be careful with Alicia, she is very spiteful and vengenful. And for what it's worth, if you ever need to have a girlfriend for something, you can always say I'm your girlfriend." I wasn't sure what her last comment was about; sadly I would understand it by this time on Tuesday.
While Lisa had been at the house, Zac had been fairly discreet. Other than his hand on my leg while we sat at the table, He had not touched me in any way. We'd thown similes and mischevious grins at each other, but no other physcial contact. As soon as Lisa's bike was on the tar road, he came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. "Do you mind?" he asked.
I leaned up against him, "Hell no," I said. I emphasized my response by lifting up my hand and caressing his bulky, lightly haired arms. He was about 5 inches taller than me and it felt good to have him hold me like that.
I closed my eyes. I'd dreamed of doing something like this with a guy. Well with Tommy to be truthful, but this felt right, where the thoughts of Tommy now seemed off-kilter somehow.
We swayed, as if to the wind. I felt Zac grow against my back. His groin started about where ass ended.
He whispered in my ear, "You want to watch the movie now, or later?"
I was quiet for a moment, then replied quietly, "Later." I turned in his arms and looked up at him. Zac had hazel eyes that seemed to change according to the light. I lifted my head expectantly and we kissed. Oh, yes, we kissed.
