Subject: Mile High Meeting-Chapter 7

Well, here's chapter 7...I hope those of you who are reading this are
enjoying it as much as I am.  Please e-mail me with comments or suggestions.

This story is not meant to imply anything about the sexuality of anyone or
anything.  It is fictitious, which means that it isn't real (unfortunately).
  If you are underage, then you shouldn't be here, but there isn't much I
can do about that :)

Enjoy!



Mile High Meeting-Chapter 7

     I was sitting on the couch, looking out the window when I was reminded
of why Nick was staying at my condo tonight.  It hadn't been hurting too
badly, but I moved my leg the wrong way.  I winced, but tried not to make a
noise that would get Nick's attention.  I assumed that he would try to
convince me to see a doctor, but that was the last thing I wanted to do.  I
have never been terribly fond of doctors, and I didn't want them to have any
more of my money than was absolutely necessary.

     Nick returned a moment later with a drink, and apparently there was
some alcohol in the refrigerator that he discovered.  I wasn't going to
argue, and I graciously took the glass from him.  He also had a drink, and
he sat it down on the table as he sat down next to me, putting his hand on
my leg.

     "Is there anything else I can get you, Cam?"

     "I'm fine, Nick.  Thank you.  When is Brian coming over?"  I asked.

     "He should be here shortly.  When he gets here, I am going to ask him
to hang out with you while I go to the store to get something to eat."

     "I don't need to be babysat, Nick.  I really am fine," I said, sounding
a bit exasperated.

     "I'm sorry.  I was just trying to help," Nick said, looking down.

     I turned toward Nick, and placed my hand on his.  "I know that.  I
didn't mean to sound that way toward you.  I am just pissed off at myself
for being so stupid.  It has nothing to do with you."

     Nick nodded, apparently accepting my apology.  "I figured as much.  I
just don't like seeing you in pain...and don't think I didn't notice how
much it hurt when you moved a minute ago."

     I smiled, and shook my head.  He was more observant than I gave him
credit for.  I would have to remember that for future occasions.  I turned
my torso so I was facing forward again, resting my head on Nick's shoulder.
After a few minutes, I decided to lie down, and I swung my legs over onto
the other side of the couch, putting my head down on Nick's lap.  I looked
up at him to see him smiling at me.  I returned the gesture, and then closed
my eyes.  He began running his fingers through my hair.  It was very
soothing, and soon I was asleep.

     I awoke as Nick was trying to place a pillow under my head as he was
getting up.  I didn't know why he was leaving until I heard him open the
door.  I immediately sat up to see Brian looking over at me.

     "Is Nick abusing you already?" Brian asked with a laugh, pointing to my
ankle.

     "Yeah.  He's a lot tougher than he looks.  Of course, that's not saying
much."

     "Excuse me?" Nick said.  "Who carried you up two flights of stairs a
while ago?"

     "Oh yeah, it was that one guy.  Man, he was hot.  I would have asked
him in, but I didn't want to upset Nick too much," I said as Brian laughed.

     "Oh, this is just great.  Poor Nick is getting ganged up on again,"
Nick said, pretending to pout.

     "You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Brian asked, grinning.

     "Very funny," Nick said.

     "Aw, I'm just kidding Nicky.  You know we love you," Brian said as he
put his arm around Nick's shoulder.  "If we didn't care, we wouldn't bother
to give you a hard time."

     "I suppose that's true.  So, did you bring my suitcase like I asked?"

     "Yep.  It's sitting out in the hallway," Brian answered as he walked
out to pick it up.  "Here you go."

     "Thanks," Nick said as he picked up the suitcase, not knowing where to
put it.  He put it near the hallway to the bedrooms, and then walked back
over to Brian.

     "Bri, could you stay here with Cam for a little while so I can go to
the store to pick up some food for dinner?"

     "Sure.  I have nothing else to do, and I would like to get to know
Cameron a bit better.  You can take the rental car if you want to," Brian
said, offering Nick the keys.

     "You can take the Navigator if you want, Nick," I mentioned.  "I won't
be going anywhere tonight."

     "I think I'd rather take the Navigator, but thanks anyway Bri," Nick
said as he picked the keys up off the table.  "I will be back shortly," he
said as he walked over to me, kissing me briefly.  "Be good."

     "Yes, sir," I replied as I saluted him.

     Nick just shook his head, and walked out the door, closing it behind
him.

     "Thanks for spoiling him, Cam.  Now he will think he is too good to
drive the rental car," Brian joked.

     I just smiled, and motioned for Brian to sit down.  He came over to the
chair and sat as I reached for the remote to turn on the big screen.  "Let's
see what's happening in the world of sports today," I said as I flipped
through the channels until I found a baseball game.

     "This okay with you?" I asked.

     "Of course.  I wouldn't want to deny you the chance to see your team,
since you plan on being in the booth someday calling these games," Brian
said with a smile.

     "You remembered that?  I am impressed."

     "Of course I remembered.  I always remember what my friends tell me,"
Brian responded, looking at me.

     "That means a lot to me, Brian."

     "Well, you mean a lot to Nick, and you are fun to be around, so what's
not to like?"

     "I'm sure I could think of something," I joked.

     "So could everyone on the planet.  No one's perfect."

     We sat and talked for quite a while, and I finally got up the nerve to
ask Brian something that I had been wondering about for a while.

     "Brian, you don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but I want
to know how you took the news about Nick being gay," I said, hoping that I
hadn't overstepped my bounds.

     He just looked at me for a moment before answering.  "I'll be honest.
It was very difficult.  It went against everything that I have been taught
about what is right and wrong.  However, I realized that Nick had been
taught the same things, and I knew how hard it was for him to deal with it
every day of his life.  He told me that he wished every day that he wasn't
gay, but that he couldn't do anything about it.  Although it still took some
getting used to, I couldn't hate Nick for something that he couldn't help.

     "I love Nick, and the other guys do too.  I was a bit shocked when no
one in the group was upset, but I was also very happy that everyone accepted
it so easily.  How about you?  How did everyone take the news from you?"

     "Some better than others.  Most of my family didn't get too upset,
mainly because they know I wouldn't have told them if I wasn't absolutely
sure that I was gay.  I battled with it for years, and just couldn't hide it
anymore.  My parents knew that I had been struggling with something for a
long time, so they weren't all that surprised.  I told them that I had tried
everything I could think of to not be gay, but I couldn't change the way I
felt.

     "They knew that there was nothing they could do to change things, and
they realized that loving me was more important to them than my sexual
orientation.  Of course, some other family members were not so
understanding, but we just don't talk about it much."

     Brian nodded and smiled at me.  I felt surprisingly comfortable talking
to him too, more comfortable than I felt around most people.  Perhaps it
just felt good getting everything out in the open right away, so there
weren't any misunderstandings.  My friends always thought of me in a certain
way, and it was difficult for them when they found out that I wasn't
straight.  I was lucky though; coming out was a relatively painless
experience for me, unlike so many that go through the ordeal.

     We talked about sports for a while, watching the game intermittently,
and Nick arrived a short while later with some bags filled with various food
items.

     "Did you buy out the store?" Brian asked, rushing over to help Nick sit
everything down.

     "Just about.  They don't exactly have any large supermarkets around
here, but I managed to find a few things," Nick said, still out of breath.

     I was impressed that Nick seemed to be so responsible.  It certainly
didn't fit with all the things I had heard about him.  Of course, he had
grown up since I started following the group, and he certainly was acting
quite mature.

     Nick asked me how I was doing, and I told him that I was doing okay.
He told me that he had bought some steak since he saw that there was a grill
on the deck.  I told him that that sounded good, and he went out there to
start the grill.  I really wanted to help out with dinner, but my ankle was
telling me otherwise, so I was forced to just sit and watch.

     I could tell that Brian was feeling a bit uncomfortable around us, and
although Nick asked him to stay for dinner, he said that he didn't want to.

     "Brian, you are certainly welcome to stay for dinner.  I would like the
chance to talk with you some more," I said to him, as he started for the
front door.

     "I appreciate that Cam, but I am tired, so I think I am just going to
go back to the condo.  Thanks anyway, though."

     He walked closer to the door, but I motioned for him to come over to
me.  When he got close, I reached up and pulled him into a hug.  "Thank you
for everything," I said to him.

     "Just take good care of Nick," Brian responded, smiling as he stood
back up.

     "I will," I said.  "See you soon!"

     "Looking forward to it."  Brian then went out on the deck to tell Nick
he was leaving.  I could see them talking from the window, and Nick was
nodding as Brian was telling him something.  He then gave Nick a quick hug
before leaving.  He said goodbye one more time to me as he closed the door
behind him.

     After another minute, I started to get restless, so I stood up to head
to my room.  I wanted to get more comfortable, so I decided to change.
Walking was difficult, but I managed to get into my room when Nick noticed
what I was doing.  He ran inside, and over to me to help me sit down on my
bed.

     "What are you doing?" Nick asked.

     "I just came in here to find something more comfortable to put on."

     "Oh.  Well, you could have asked for help getting in here."

     "I know that, but I don't like asking for help.  I like to do things on
my own."

     "In other words, you're too damn stubborn to ask for help."

     "Something like that," I said, laughing.

     I reached over from my bed to the dresser, finding a pair of shorts and
a t-shirt, pulling them out, and sitting them on the bed next to me.

     "Do you need some help changing, Cam?" Nick asked.

     "I don't think so, but we'll see."  I unbuttoned my shirt and pulled it
off.  Nick wasn't too sure what to do.  I know that he wanted to look, but
at the same time, he wanted to respect my privacy.  I put the other shirt on
while still sitting, and then I reached down to my belt, unfastening it.
Nick decided to go back onto the deck to check on the food as I stood up,
unbuttoning my shorts, and letting them fall.  I then grabbed the other
shorts, sitting back down to pull them on.  I saw that Nick had been
watching, but he was trying not to look too obvious.  I wasn't going to let
him know that I saw him, so I just started back toward the kitchen to see if
there was anything I could do to get things ready to eat.

     Nick came back in a moment later, and all but ordered me to sit back
down.  I wasn't in a position to argue, so I sat back down.  I got engrossed
in the game on TV, and soon Nick was telling me that dinner was ready.  I
didn't realize that I had been watching that long, and when I looked over at
the table I noticed that he had everything ready.  I headed for the table
just as Nick set two candles on the table, lighting them with a match.

     "This is wonderful, Nick," I said as I walked behind him, putting my
arms around him.  I could feel his abs as my hands reached around to his
stomach.  I put my chin on his shoulder, and thanked him for everything.

     "Don't thank me until you've tasted it," Nick said with a smile.

     He helped me over to the table, and pulled out the chair for me.  I sat
down, and soon we started eating.  I discovered that Nick was quite the cook
as well, as everything tasted quite good.

     "Wow.  This is really good.  I didn't know that you could cook."

     "There are a lot of things you don't know about me," he said, raising
his eyebrows.

     "I am looking forward to finding some of those things out," I said,
causing Nick to smile.

     We talked quite a bit over dinner, and Nick jumped up to clear the
table when we were both finished.  I tried to help, but he wouldn't allow
it, and soon he had cleaned everything up.

     I got up, and walked (limped) toward the kitchen.  I went over to him,
and before he had a chance to say anything, I pulled him into a kiss.  We
kissed for a few minutes before we broke apart.

     "You're welcome," Nick said.

     I smiled, glad that he understood what I was kissing him for.

     "What would you like to do now?" Nick asked.

     "I don't know...do you like getting wet?"

     Nick looked a bit shocked, so I pointed toward the Jacuzzi.  "I think
the Jacuzzi would feel really good on my ankle, and you would feel good on
the rest of me."

     "Sounds good.  We would need to change, though."  I nodded, and he
helped me walk into my room.  He then went back out to the living room to
get his suitcase, carrying it into the other bedroom.

     I closed the door to my room, and found something to put on, stripping
down before putting the shorts on.  I grabbed a towel from the bathroom, and
went out to the living room, turning on the jets before I climbed the steps
to get in.  Nick walked out a minute later, and his body mesmerized me as he
approached.  I stared at him as he got into the hot tub, sitting next to me.

     "This feels nice," he said.

     "Oh, yeah.  Very nice," was all I could say.

     "Is this helping your ankle any?" Nick asked.

     "A little.  It is still quite sore, though."

     As if on cue, Nick reached for my leg, pulling it up onto his lap.  He
then reached down to my ankle, massaging it gently.

     "Does this feel better?"

     "Mmmm..." was all I could seem to get out.

     "I'll take that as a yes," he said.  He rubbed on my ankle for a few
more moments before he started to move up my leg.  He moved up around the
knee, and above it before stopping.  He gently put my leg back down, and
then got down onto his knees in front of me.  He leaned in to me, and our
lips touched.  My mouth opened slightly, and his tongue found its way inside
my mouth.

     We began to kiss more passionately, and he came closer to me, until his
chest was up against mine and I could feel his hard nipples as they brushed
against mine.  I put my arms around him, trying to pull him even closer.
When there was no more room between us, I reached up to put my hand on his
neck before running my hand through his hair, getting it wet.

     We made out for a while longer, and then Nick's lips began downward,
from my chin toward my neck.  He ran his tongue down my neck, stopping at my
Adams apple, sucking on it, causing me to moan slightly.  He then began
kissing my neck gently as he approached my right ear.  He nibbled on my
earlobe for a moment before resting his head on my shoulder, his mouth still
touching my neck.

     Nick stayed in that position for a moment, with me running my hands
across his back.  He then lifted his head up, backing up so he could look me
right in the eyes as he spoke.

     "I think I am falling in love with you," he said, his eyes starting to
water up.

     I looked at him for a moment, and he looked very vulnerable.  I think
he may have regretted saying it, but I certainly was glad that he did.

     "You too, eh?" I said, as a smile began spreading across his face.

     "Do you mean?"

     "Yeah, Nick.  I think I am falling in love with you too," I said, not
breaking eye contact.

     He closed his eyes and sighed, obviously relieved that he wasn't the
only one who felt that way.  I smiled, and sat up to kiss him, before
pulling him into a hug.  It felt so good to have him in my arms, and I
didn't want to let go.  However, my ankle started bothering me, and the jets
on the hot tub turned off, so I took that as a cue.

     "We should probably get out of here.  We don't want to shrivel up," I
said.

     "No, we definitely don't want that," Nick said, laughing.

     Nick helped me out of the Jacuzzi, and wrapped a towel around me as we
headed for the bedrooms.  He led me to my bedroom, and then went down the
hall to his to change back into warm clothes.

     I went into my bathroom, removing my bathing suit and toweling off.  I
left the towel in there, and went back out to find some clothes.  I pulled
on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt before walking back out into the kitchen
to get a drink.  Just then, Nick walked out wearing some lounge pants and a
Broncos t-shirt.

     "You've got good taste," I said, putting my hand on his chest.

     "I thought you might like this," he said, smiling.  "I bought it
tonight when I was out."

     Nick was also apparently thirsty, as he also got a drink of water.

     "Well, I am pretty tired," I said as I filled up my glass again.  "I
think I am going to go to bed now."

     "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.  You need to get that ankle
elevated."

     I started for my bedroom, Nick following me.  He turned off all the
lights, and made sure I made it into my bedroom.  Once I sat down on the
bed, he started to leave for his room.

     "Nick?"  I said to get his attention.

     "Yeah?"  Nick said, turning around.

     "Would you stay in here with me?" I asked.  Nick smiled.

     "Are you sure you want me to?"

     "I'm quite sure.  We're just going to be sleeping," I responded.

     "I'd love to," was his answer.

     Nick then closed the door to the bedroom, and then he walked over to
the other side of the bed.  I removed my shirt, and stood up to pull back
the covers.  Nick then took off his shirt, and pulled down his lounge pants
to reveal a pair of black boxer-briefs.  I had to use every ounce of
self-control not to jump him right there, but I held back.  We both laid
down at the same time, and Nick moved on top of me, kissing me gently.  He
then rolled off to my right, placing his head on my chest as I put my arm
around him.

     With my free hand, I pulled the blanket over us, and I turned out the
light on the nightstand.  I then kissed him on the top of his head.

     "I love you, Nick."

     "I love you too, Cam."

     I smiled as I closed my eyes.  It felt so right having Nick next to me,
and I knew that I wanted him next to me from now on.  I knew that we
wouldn't always be able to be together, but I didn't want to think about
that.  I wanted to stay awake all night so I could feel and watch Nick, but
I was quite tired, and I fell asleep shortly thereafter.



That's it for chapter 7...this one was more difficult to write, so I hope it
made sense...please let me know what you think! (glenwoodbronco@hotmail.com)

Thanks for reading!
