I was visiting my family after Church and enjoying there company. I had been summoned to the garage to help my father with another project that he had been tinkering with. My father's neighbor had come over for a quick visit and had brought his son with him. I had never met the two prior to today and little did I know how this meeting would change my life. My father introduced Bret to me. We shook hands and made small talk like adults do. All the while I noticed Bret's son fidgeting as young males do when they are in a place they don't want to be. They have a tendency to grow extremely antsy. Bret finally spoke up and said, "This is my son, Jake". I reached over and shook his hand and said, "Nice to meet you". When I shook his hand something in that moment sparked a feeling within me that I had never felt before. We stood there making small talk as Bret told me that Jake had just turned 12 and how he was into sports and dirt bikes and a regular chip off the old mans block. Something in Jakes eyes told me different. As we continued to talk, Jake would look at me and as if no big deal would adjust the little bulge in his shorts. I found this odd, but you now how kids are, they do that sort of thing. We finally ended are conversation and they went back home. I happened to look up to see Jake smiling and looking at me the whole time he walked off. It must have been about 30 minutes later when a panicked Bret came back to the garage and said, " Bill, I need someone to watch Jake for a while". "I just got a call from the hospital and my wife has been in an accident". Without even hesitating and for some strange reason I couldn't explain I said, "Go, I'll take care of him". Bret rushed off yelling thanks and said he would call me as soon as he knew anything. I looked over to see Jake standing in the driveway with a look of fear on his face. I approached him and placed my hand on his shoulder and said, "Looks like it's just you and me for now champ". I was completely caught off guard when Jake responded with "cool". Now let me explain a little bit about myself. I have never fancied myself the father figure. I avoided kids at all times because mostly they just got on my nerves. I always felt uncomfortable around them and boy did I find out why as the day progressed. Jake and I were sitting in his living room waiting for his dad to call. I was reading the latest issue of field and stream and Jake was doing his homework. It was very quiet and we were both startled when the phone rang as we both jumped. I answered it to find it was Bret telling me that the situation with his wife was not good and he needed to stay there with her all night. I asked if he wanted me to bring Jake to the hospital and he said no. Bret didn't want Jake to see his mom like this and asked me if I could stay with Jake tonight and get him off to school. I was completely taken aback and reluctantly agreed to this. Bret spoke with Jake and explained the situation to him and told him to help me out the best he could. I was dumbfounded when Jake told his dad while looking at me with this animalistic look in his eye, "don't worry dad, I'll take care of everything". Jake settled back into his homework and I back into my magazine. I would say no more than 10 minutes passed when Jake spoke up and said, "Matthew, can I ask you some questions"? I, thinking he was talking about homework replied "sure champ". H paused for a moment and then took a deep breath and said, "Do you know any gay people"? I must have looked odd to him because I just sit there with a blank look on my face and I could feel my mouth gaping open. Finally I composed myself and said, "as a matter of fact I do". Jake grew very excited and jumped to his feet and said, "Awesome". He must of realized that he was appearing overly anxious because he suddenly tried to cover it up and was fumbling for words... "I... mean... ahhh...well" and he finally just stopped and dropped his head. He stood there in front of me for a while and I noticed that he was crying. I propped his chin up and said, "Jacob, what's wrong"? He just shook his head and started crying profusely. I must have been completely consumed with compassion because the site of this precious boy in tears overwhelmed me. Instinctively I just reached out and grabbed him and pulled him up onto my lap and held him. He must have had a lot built up inside of him because he laid there with his head against my chest and just cried forever. I just held him and stroked his hair and let him get this all out. Finally between cries and gasped breaths he said, "Matthew, I think I'm gay". I didn't know how to respond to this so I just sit there in silence and this seem to make him cry even more. I finally found my voice and said, "Jacob it's all right let it out, let it out". After a lot more tears his crying seemed to be subsiding and he found the courage to speak once more. "I am so confused and am hurting so bad inside", he said. "I just need someone to talk to". After some more silence he finally spoke again and what he said shocked the hell out of me. "Matthew, are you gay"? I choked on my own saliva and didn't know what to say. He said, "The only reason I ask is that I can feel your penis is hard on my hip". I hadn't even noticed but he was right. I thought to myself, "great, here I am with this 12 year old boy crying lying in my lap and I have a raging hard on". I said. "I'm so sorry, I don't know why". He raised his little head up off of my chest and looked me in the eyes with a smile and said, "Its okay". We sat there in silence for a moment and he slowly started to lean in and he kissed me on my lips. It wasn't a long kiss or even with any passion, just a little peck. He pulled back and looked at me with tear filled eyes and said, "Please don't turn me away". "I need you". He trailed off saying please as he returned to kissing me and forced his tongue into my mouth. I was completely lost and extremely excited and couldn't figure out why. All I knew was that I was enjoying what was happening and returned his kisses passionately. Well that's all for now. Tell me what you think.
