It seems that we always want what we can't have...Well, at least I am that
way.

If something is too easy, then I seem to lose interest quickly. However, if
something is a challenge, I seem to become obsessed with it. I am sure many
of you can relate to this or at least know someone with this type
personality.  This story is about one such challenge or obsession. This is
a true story and of course the names have been changed to protect the
innocent or the guilty or whatever they are.

I will start with a little history. My name is Jonathon. I am a gay man in
my early thirties. I am 5'11" tall and right around 200lbs. I have dirty
blonde hair and eyes that I have been told are a really deep and sexy
blue. I was married for many years...Trying to live up to my family's
expectations. I finally came to my senses and decided I had to be honest
with myself and start living, or die. The guilt and emotional ups and downs
had become more than I could stand. The day I told my wife that I was gay,
was the day that I really began to live. It was rough for a while and she
wanted to try and make it work somehow, but we both knew that it was
inevitable. I moved out within six months. It was the best thing that could
happen.

Now, on with the story.

Even before I told my wife that I was attracted to men, I met the subject
of this story. His name is Michael. I was a supervisor/Store Manager at a
national furniture chain and I was responsible for interviewing and hiring
new employees. The day I met Michael, I was conducting interviews for the
position of delivery person. I had talked to several guys and none of them
looked promising...not to mention that I really was not very concerned with
their experience. My main concern was if they caused that familiar tingling
sensation in my pants when we shook hands or our eyes met for the first
time. So far that day, the applicants were not doing it for me. I know that
probably sounds bad, but I am sure that I am not the only one to use both
of my heads when making a decision about whether to hire someone or keep
looking. Anyway, I had decided I might have to actually make a decision
based on experience, when I heard someone inquire if the position was still
available. I turned around and I saw him...He was in his mid-twenties,
about 6 feet tall and about 190lbs. his hair was cut very short, but not
really buzzed off, just a neatly trimmed and masculine haircut. I just
stood there and watched him as he spoke with the other employee, wondering
what he looked like without the khaki pants and polo shirt that he was
wearing. About that time, she pointed him in my direction. He walked toward
me, smiling a beautiful smile. He extended his hand and introduced
himself. "Hi, my name is Michael Smith". I reached out to shake his hand
and smiling back at him said "My name is Jonathon Jones". We were standing
there shaking hands and smiling at each other and I felt that familiar
stirring in my pants. It seemed both heads were in agreement.

We had barely spoken and I knew I would offer him the job. I just hoped he
would be interested enough to take it.

In the next few months, we became good friends. I found out that he was
married and we both confided relationship problems to each other and
childhood experiences etc.

Now my gaydar was telling me that he was definitely bisexual or at least
curious. I would occasionally test the waters, by doing some absent minded
bumping of knees and whatever I could do to get a reaction. All I really
got was mixed signals...I could not figure this guy out. This went on for a
while and sometimes, it seemed that he was doing the absent minded bumping
of knees or brushing up against me. But then nothing more than that. I
tried to steer the conversation in a way that might get him to open up or
get us talking about sex. We did talk some, but it seemed to make him
uncomfortable. This went on for months and I was really happy just having
his friendship. Though, my nightly sessions always featured Michael as the
star of the show. I dreamed of what it would be like to finally kiss those
lips, to feel the hardness of his dick through his pants. I wanted to feel
the head of his dick slide past my lips and taste his salty pre-cum on my
tongue. I wanted to run my tongue down his back into his ass crack and
taste that hot little hole. God, I wanted him so bad.

But I could not do anything more than I was, unless I wanted to risk being
outed at my job and at home and worst of all, the possibility of losing a
friend. I decided to just give it more time. Several months went by of the
same thing and I could not seem to get over the fact that I could not get
close to him. I decided I had to find out if he felt the same way about me
as I did about him. My plan was to put an anonymous note on his car at
work. I typed out a note that explained to him that I was also married like
him, but I found him very attractive and I could not get him out of my
head. I told him I did not want to cause him any problems at home, but that
I just wondered if he might be interested or curious about being with
another guy. I gave him an e-mail address to write me back at. Well, days
went by after I left the note on his car. He seemed like his normal self,
but he did not mention the note or act as if anything was different. I kept
checking for an e-mail to say one way or the other. Even a Fuck Off! would
have helped get him out of my mind. My instincts said he felt the same, but
I could not get him to let his guard down.

Finally, one night a few days later the store was really busy and Michael
had more deliveries than he could handle. I hung around and waited on him
to get back, after the store had closed. He came in talking about how tired
he was and how it would be good to have the day off since we were closed
the next day. I agreed with him and we just made small talk while I
finished up some paperwork and he stood in the doorway of the storeroom
smoking a cigarette. Then it got really quiet. Neither of us was talking
and then Michael said "Are you gay?" Here it was. The response I had been
waiting for and I did not know how to answer him. I was tongue tied and all
the thoughts of losing my job, my family and even worse, losing Michael as
a friend was running through my head. I kind of acted like I did not hear
him and I just said "say that again". He started explaining that the reason
he was asking, was that he got this note on his car and he had been trying
to figure out who wrote it and the more he thought about it, the more he
began to suspect me. He said he had wondered since the first time we met,
if I was gay. I just sat there for a moment and then the only thing I could
get out was "I am bi". I still was not sure if he was ok with it or not,
but at that moment I thought he might have a easier time dealing if he
thought I was bi, instead of full on Flaming Homo.

His reply was "I thought so" and he smiled. Whoa! That felt better. At
least he seemed ok with it. Then he said "Did you put the note on my car?"
To this day, I don't know why, but I told him "no" I could hardly believe
that I said it. Here I was with the perfect opportunity and I lied to
him. I said that I didn't do it. He told me that he just figured it was
me. He made a few comments like " I have a few friends that are gay and its
cool" and "I don't know if I could kiss a guy" which should have been
obvious to me he had thought about it and might possibly have been trying
to start us talking about it. I just sat there at my desk, agreeing and it
was like I turned into a nervous fucking wreck and all I could do was nod
my head in agreement. Finally he said he was going to get home and before I
knew it, he was out the door.

That night, I kept going over the whole thing in my head and I wanted to
knock myself in the head for being so stupid. I decided on the way home,
that I would write him an e-mail and tell him how I felt. I wrote the
e-mail and told him how attracted to him I was and that I wish I had
written him that letter and put it on his car. I laid it all out for him to
decide. I got a reply from him before I left for work the next morning. I
was almost too afraid to read what it said. I sat for a while and stared at
the screen, trying to make myself open the e-mail. Finally I clicked on the
subject line and opened the e-mail.

I read the first few lines and he was saying that he really valued my
friendship and that he was flattered that I was attracted to him and was
not bothered by that fact at all. He then went into telling me that even
though he wished we could be "really" close friends that he couldn't. He
explained that he had cheated on his wife once before and they almost
divorced over it. He said he made her a promise that it would never happen
again and he intended on keeping that promise. He said he was sorry and he
hoped we could still be friends.

My heart sank. It hurt to know that he could blow me off like that and he
even avoided my direct question, about whether he was also bi or gay. Of
course by him saying that he wished we could be "really" close friends, he
answered my question. He also added in at the end of the letter, "that he
cared for me more than I would ever know" and he wanted us to remain
friends. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to crawl under a rock and
die. I did not think I could possibly face him. I was so embarrassed. I
forced myself to go to work and for the first few hours, I just tried to
avoid him. Finally he came over and started making small talk about the
weather and shit. I felt better and things kind of went back to
normal. However, I still could not get him out of my head. It was like the
e-mail he sent me implied that there was a chance and he was attracted to
me, but that his promise was keeping him from acting on it. I could not get
that off my mind...the possibility was enough to keep me holding on...

I started working on another e-mail. I had to convince him that we should
be together.

To be continued....
