Subject: "My Time In Topeka" Part 2 Gay Adult - Youth

After finishing my lite meal, if you really want to call it a meal, Steve
and I began talking.

He asked me if I was new to town, what had brought me to Topeka and where I
was staying.

As I explained my situation to him I felt my heart pounding like it would
burst out of my chest at any second.. Then it happened, he touched my knee
with a look of sadness and sympathy on his face.. My God, I thought I was
really going to die by that point.

Before I could even finish telling Steve that I didn't have a clue where I
was going to stay, his face light up as he exclaimed I could stay with him
and his family.

Now where I come from no one would even consider letting a complete
stranger stay with them.

Of course I accepted the offer and as soon as Steve was done with his shift
we were off to his little ranch on the outskirts of Topeka..

By the time we arrived at the ranch it was headed for one in the morning,
so his parents were both asleep, well they were asleep until the
Rottweiler, Fluffy started barking and woke them up. Janet and Ken were
down the stairs in a flash to see what was going on.

Can you imagine me in my twenties standing there with their sixteen year
old son?

The thoughts began to run through my head, what would I do if I couldn't
stay, and then I began imagining Ken blowing me away with his shot gun.

Thankfully though Janet hugged me and welcomed me into their home.
