A TIME OF DISCOVERY - (chapter 3)


		It is 10:40 am and we are in front of Colefield House. Josh
drives around to the back and finds a parking spot. Since it is a weekend
there is no problem finding a parking spot. We were to find out that since
we were to be members of the swimming team that we would have permanently
assigned spots. Now that was going to be a nice perk and sure would avoid a
lot of hassle. The assigned spots would be right on the same level as the
pool and right next to it.

		"Hey, we are going to be as hungry as horses by the time we
are done here." comments Josh as he slides out of the drivers seat. At the
same time, I am getting out of the passenger's side.

		"Hadn't thought about that, but you are right. But for
right now it is best that we are not in the water with really fully
stomachs, don't you think?" I told him.

		"Yeah, you're right Hermie" and he winks at me. I know that
I blushed a little but I also know that I liked that wink. Could not help
but wonder (the damned analytical side of me again) just how open Josh
would be - how open he would be towards me around other people. Somehow I
did not think that he would grab me and give me a deep throat kiss or
anything. although if he did I knew in my heart that I would not do
anything that would ever refuse or hurt his feelings. But with Josh, I got
the feeling that intimacy with someone was a very private thing. Time would
tell.

		Just as we got to the door, Sam and Vinny both opened the
double doors and yelled out "Hey Guys, about time you 2 got here. Did you
have fun last night?" they asked with smug grins on their faces.

		Josh and I looked at each other and then looked back at
them. "Yeah, guess you could say that we did have a good time" Josh told
them and grinned.

		"Yup, sure did" was all that I said and grinned.

		"Well, Vinny they are like 2 cats who have just swallowed
some goldfish. Just purring and not saying anything - not details no
nothing" and then Sam just chuckled. And with that, He just patted me on
the back and we walked on to the locker rooms to get dressed for the
pool. Or I should say to get undressed for the pool.

		When we got into the locker room, we noticed that the guys
were wearing their speedos. I turned to Sam and said "Suits today?". So Sam
asked one of the guys what was up with the speedos. He said that the coach
wanted to take some group pictures before we actually started practice.

		Since neither Josh or I had brought any speedos, we turned
to Sam and Vinny and asked them if they had any spares we could borrow.

		Vinny said "Well Josh, I think we can take care of you
pretty well but I have seen Hermie in the showers - now that is another
matter." and lets out with a loud whistle and a big grin. I blushed beet
red at that point. Both Sam and Vinny checked their speedos and brought us
a couple. By the time they had brought us the speedos, I was down to my
briefs. Sam handed me a blue speedo and said "See if this will do."

		Even though I had been watching Josh take off his clothes,
something which I never got tired of watching, I had not sprung a woody -
THANK GOODNESS ! I slid the speedo up my legs and when it got to my butt
and hips, I gave it an extra tug and it tightly moved over my butt. But in
front I had to do some tucking, After a couple of attempts, I finally got
myself situated in front and at least barely covered. My pubes were
definitely showing though. I knew from seeing the bodies of the other
swimmers that at some point that I would be shaving my pubic area. But for
now my speedo had a crown of pubic hair above it. I wondered if that would
be a problem for the picture, didn't know but guess I would find out later.

		"Damn man...you are built like a stallion." and that
comment brought some color to my face. There stood Sam openly staring at my
body and especially at my crotch which was rather snugly stuffed into that
speedo. Then Vinny lets out a low whistle and grins.

		"Ok guys showtime is over and we gotta get out to the pool"
Josh said and started walking out of the locker room. No matter now many
times I have seen his backside in motion, I have never tired of watching
his muscles ripple beneath his skin. He is one fine looking guy and then
thoughts of last night flashed through my mind. I had been given Josh's
virginity - now I stress given. I did not ask him to, but he had wanted to
give me something that he had never given anybody else. I felt my chest
move in and out with a couple of real deep breaths. Then I realized I had
better break out of this daydream before I got a total raging hardon. Now
that would not do, in my estimation for this picture taking session. Of
course we were doing one of those beefcake calendars. At that thought I had
to smile to myself.

		The coach leaned his head into the locker room and yelled
out "All right you guys - it's time to get out here and get this picture
taking done before we start practice. - GET A MOVE ON !"
		At that everybody started moving on out to the pool. There
were a couple of people at the pool with tripods and cameras on them. Plus
there was another man with a large camera that he just carried in his
hands. The coach just asked the photographers where they wanted us to be
for the first few shots. The first shots were to take place with us side by
side lined up all the way around the pool. The guys who had the large
camera that was not on the tripod started taking off his clothes. At that
there were a few whistles and cat calls from the guys on the team. After he
got his shirt off, he just turned and smiled at all of us with a big grin
on his face. He wasn't overly muscular but he was definitely defined. He
had light blonde hair. Next, almost as if he was putting on a show, and I
noticed the coach kind of chuckling - the photographer slowly unbuckled his
belt and unzipped his pants. After slipping his pants off, he stood there
in his boxers and did a slight bow. That caused the guys on the team to
clap and laugh. Then the guy got into the pool being very careful with his
camera. We were then to line up side by side around the pool.

		"Now I am going to take some sectional group shots and then
individual shots of each of you - OK." And with that he went to the center
of the pool and took 2 or 3 shots of each of the four sides. Next he went
to each corner of the pool and did perspective shots showing 2 sides of the
pool with the team standing. His last segment was to go to each member of
the team and do a close up shot looking up at the swimmer. Quite a forceful
and dominating pose to say the least. Think about it - seeing shots of
these guys with the muscles of their legs emphasized and then right at the
top of the legs sits their manhoods all nicely packaged in a tight fitting
speedo. Then square on top the grin of a good looking jock. Now if that is
not the making of somebody's fantasy. (Big Grin)

		When he got around to me, he looked up and his eyes kinda
went wide open. He was staring hard at the front of my speedo. Then before
he starts snapping my pictures he looks up a gives me a wink with his left
eyes. I just give him my best grin back, I mean after all this was going to
be a picture - Right.

		After he was done with my pictures, he took about 3 more
guys and then he was done. He then put his camera on the side of the pool
and shoved it more away from the pool. Then he moved to the end of the pool
and climbed up the ladder. Seeing as how he had nothing on but some boxers
and they were soaking wet, they were plastered to his body. It was not hard
to notice that he had a raging hardon. He could have been straight, Bi, or
Gay but he sure had a raging hardon. He looked down at himself and then
turned around and looked at us all still standing around the pool.

		"It's HARD WORK but somebody has to do it." and grins real
big.

		"No Problem buddy - no problem." Sam yells across the pool
to him.

		We were to a team shot with everybody standing closer
together this time. We were at the end of the pool by the diving boards. As
it turned out we were in 3 rows. Josh, Sam, and Vinny were in the 2nd row
just in front of me. Plus we just happened to be in front of the olympic
diving board. I was in back of Josh and just slightly to his right. Sam was
on the right of Josh and Vinny was on the left of Josh. After a couple of
minutes with the photographer giving us directions, he took a couple of
shots from his tripod camera.

		Without my having seen him, Josh had nodded to Sam and
Vinny to move a little closer to him. The photographer was telling us to
"pump-up" our bodies and grin big time. While he was talking to us, Josh
slowly moved his right hand back towards my crotch, and grabbed ahold of
me. I let out a soft gasp. As I started with my hands to grab his arm, Sam
grabbed my right arm and held it while Vinny grabbed my left arm and held
it. So I tried to move backwards and then realized I was right up against
the column for the diving platform. Essentially I was trapped.

		"What the hell are you doing Josh?" I said through clenched
teeth. I was still trying to smile for the pictures. All the while, Josh
was squeezing and rubbing my cock through the speedo I was wearing. To say
that he was getting me aroused would be putting it mildly. I looked out of
the corners of my eyes to see that Sam and Vinny were wearing the biggest
SHIT-EATING GRINS you could imagine. I guess they were really enjoying how
red my face was getting.

		"Why Hermie.....do you ...aahhh...likes the attention?"
Josh asks as he slightly turns his head and whispers back to me. He keeps
on rubbing and squeezing and whispers "Yeah." Well I now had a raging
hardon and thought I was going to pop out of the speedo.

		"Stop it....damn it....you're embarassing me Josh." Truth
be known, he was turning me on BIG TIME ! But this was a group picture of
the swim team afterall. How would it look for me to be popped out of my
speedo with my cock totally rigid and hard? Besides, if he kept it up, I
was going to cum in a very short time. Involuntarily, well maybe voluntary
to tell some of the truth, my hips were moving forward into what he was
doing to me. But this had to stop !!!!!!

		"Well guys, they are done taking the pictures. You can now
slip off the speedos and get ready for practice." With that Josh let go of
my crotch and Sam and Vinny let go of my arms. Everybody started to
disperse and I glanced down at myself. I was still hard as a rock and just
about popping out of my speedo.

		"WOW GUYS !  Look at Hurley over there - something sure
must have gotten to him." I don't know who it was that said that but my
face got as hot as the surface of the sun. Then I noticed that several of
the team members were looking in my direction and giving out with
whistles. Then there came several more catcalls. By this time, I could have
just sunk to the bottom of the pool.

		"Coach - can I talk to you a minute?" I yelled out to the
coach. I noticed Josh, Sam, and Vinny looking in my direction with
questioning looks on their faces. I walked over the coach with my hands
trying to hide what all the catcalls and whistles were about.

		"What do you need Hurley?" the coach said as I approached
him. I noticed that he was kinda puzzled looking as to why I was holding my
hands down in front of me. Was he thinking that I was all of a sudden
bashful or something? I just don't know what he was thinking.

		"Coach - ..Can I ....aahhhh...leave now?" and I couldn't
quite look him in the face.

		"Why? Aren't you feeling well?" and looks straight at my
face. "You do look quite flushed to tell you the truth. If you feel that
you need to, go ahead and go. I want you to take care of yourself. You are
one of my best prospects for a winning season and I want you in top
form. So go back to your room and rest - OK." And with that he gives me a
pat on the shoulder. I start walking out of the pool area; not bothering to
look back towards any of the team. I just wanted out of there at that
moment. I knew that I would be walking back to my room since Josh had
driven us here.

		"Hey .....Hermie...Where are you going?" I heard Josh call
out as I was leaving. I stopped for just a second and then continued on. No
way was I in the mood to talk to him right now. Was I mad, DAMN RIGHT I was
!!!!! I liked Josh - I liked Josh a lot, but I did not walk to talk to him
right now. I might say something stupid and regret it. So it was best for
now, just to get out of there and get out of there as quick as possible. It
did not take me more than 2 or 3 minutes to get dressed and I was on my
walking. I realized that a few of my clothes were in Josh's Jeep but I
would get those later. I needed this walk so that I could cool down and
myself under control. Now some might say, what was the big deal. Well Josh
had almost made me cum right there as they were taking pictures. Maybe he
did not intend to make me have an orgasm but I know that I was dripping out
the end of my cock. I kinda shuddered at the thought of how embarassing
that would have been.

		The walk back was good for me. It helped me to gain control
of my anger at what I perceived at Josh's attempt to embarrass me. Maybe I
had this wrong but I do darned well how close I was to an orgasm. Colefield
House and the pool is about a mile from where the dorm room is, so it is a
good little walk. When I got to the room, I sat down at my desk and just
slumped. Josh and I had shared an amazing weekend and now this. But as the
expression goes - SHIT HAPPENS !

		Opening a book of my recent sketches, I looked at some of
the work that was done from memory of Josh. This was not going to help so I
just closed the book. Now What? I took off my shoes and socks deciding to
just take a nap. I turned to my bunk and glanced down at the bottom bunk
and could almost see Josh laying there. Damned ! All I could think about
was him. Still I crawled up into my bunk, punched at my pillow and tried to
go to sleep. Going to sleep was not going to be that easy as all I could
see were images of Josh smiling that incredible grin of his. Eventually
though I was able to nod off. Emotional stress and I guess anger, which I
was feeling, can be drains on your energy.

		"Wha..what is it?" I was mumbling. As I realized that I had
fallen asleep and I looked over at the clock, it was around 6:30 p.m.

		"Hermie, are you OK?" It was Josh trying to wake me
up. Guess I fell asleep more soundly than I thought I would. I turned in my
bed to see him standing there with Sam and Vinny. Neither one of them
exactly had a big grin on their faces. Kind of unusual since they were
always fun group of guys.

		"What is it.....what do you want? Have you come back to the
room for some more laughs?" and I just glared at them. Maybe I should not
have been that harsh, but I was still pretty mad. I noticed that Josh just
hung his head down and for one of the few times that I could remember he
did not look me straight in the face. Sam and Vinny just stood there and
their mouths made a downward movement on their faces.

		"Look man....we were...aahhh....just kidding with you. We
didn't know you would get so upset." Sam said kind of turning his head and
looking from the side at me.

		"Yeah Hermie, we think you are one way nice guy and we
certainly don't want you mad at us." Vinny said next. He was looking at me
also kind of shuffling his feet. "Can you at least let us say that we are
sorry."

		"Look guys, today was a totally embarrassing situation for
me. Whether you meant to or not - IT WAS !! and I glared at all 3 of them
again. "I am not in the mood to talk at all right now - GOT IT ! Besides, I
have a lot to think about."

		"What have you got to think so much about Hermie?" Josh
asked. He raised his head a little but still not looking me quite square in
the face.

		"Well, if you gotta know Josh, I am wondering if I really
do fit in. I mean was my reaction out of the ordinary. Just because you
almost had me having cum dripping out of the end of my cock, I GUESS I
SHOULD NOT BE REALLY MAD SHOULD I !!!!!!" I said shouting at him and meant
it for Sam and Vinny also.

		"That was not my thoughts, to make you cum. I just wanted
to feel you up a little." and he did grin with that a little. I gave no
security of a smile or any reaction to his statement.

		"Josh..and I will say this with Sam and Vinny here, I find
it difficult to breathe around you at times. Whether you realize it or not
you have that kind of effect on me. And sometimes all you have to do is
touch me and it SETS MY HORMONES OFF !" and I told him"Look at me ! Does it
look like I am bullshitting you !"

		Josh looks at me, not really grinning but not frowning with
his mouth kinda wide open. But as I remember his eyes were penetrating mine
and they were absolutely sparkling.

		"Josh...you are one lucky assed fuck.....you know that
don't ya?" Sam said and looked from me to Josh and back to me. Josh just
kept staring at me with those sparkling eyes.

		Vinny kind of coughed and said "This is getting intense,
but you know what I am hungry and the dining halls are closed now. Anybody
want to go to Town Hall for a pizza?" I guess he was just trying to slice
through the tenseness that was in the air.

		"What about it Hermie...do you want to go have a pizza?"
asks Josh.

		"Sorry guys.....but No. I have to think about whether I
still want to continue on with this swim team or not. Maybe psychologically
I am not cut out for it....OK."

		"WHAT...WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Josh exclaims with his voice
raised.

		"You heard me ! I need time to think and I don't feel like
going out to eat right now."

		"Aahhh come on Hermie.......you can't be serious !!!" Vinny
chimes in. "Everybody likes you and you are one of the best. We need you."

		By now Josh has moved for the door and calls back "Come on
guys, Hermie just not want me around or to look at me right now. Let's go
on ...OK."

		And with that Sam and Vinny follow Josh out the door; but
not before looking back and just shaking their heads. Not one of the four
of us in the room at that moment was a very happy camper - to say the
least. Again a very emotionally draining moment, so I just layed back down
and went back to sleep. Strange thing though, I did not have visions of
Josh in my subconscious. What I had was clouds, rain. and it seemed like
total darkness.

		Usually when Sam and Vinny would come over to the room,
they would knock on the door but then they would just automatically come on
in. I guess I had awakened from the first knocking on the door but I did
not answer. Then a 2nd series of knocks cam and I said "Come on in" not
really knowing who it was. When the person cam around the end of our
stacked bunk beds, I saw that it was Sam.

		"Hermie...can I talk to you a bit?" Sam asked and stared up
at me on the top bunk. Raising myself to a seated position, I looked back
down at him. He didn't have the usual smiling face but he was not frowning
either - just sort of a questioning look. After a few seconds, I slid off
of the bunk and stood on the floor. For some reason, I glanced at Josh's
bunk. I realized that what I really wanted was to see him there.

		"Okay Sam, what is it? I thought you guys had gone out to
eat." I said as I ambled over to sit in my chair. As I did so, Sam sat down
in the chair at Josh's desk. A thought entered my head at that point;
that's Josh's chair and you should not be sitting there. WOW was Josh ever
taking over my thoughts; and if the truth be know I did not mind this at
all. In fact I welcomed the feeling, at least in my mind, of belonging to
someone. I wasn't really sure of exactly how Josh felt, not totally - Does
anyone ever really know another person totally feels?

		"OK Hermie I know that you are way pissed at the 3 of us
right now; that you made quite clear to us earlier. But this thing of
possibly not staying on the swim team; are you being real with that
thought? I SURELY HOPE NOT !" and Sam said that very emphatically.

		I started to speak but Sam said "Hermie I am not trying to
be bossy here but please let me finish - PLEASE !"

		"OK go ahead" and I did give him a bit of a smile. I mean
after all he was here trying to communicate with me and I was curious as to
what and how he was going to say it.

		"Man the 3 of us, like you a lot. But I got to tell you
that one of us has really changed since he met you. Vinny and I have know
Josh for quite a long time and is one of our best friends. We have all
depended on one another in good and bad times - as you might say thick and
thin. Josh has always been a guy you could be around and you feel good just
being in his presence. He has that kind of effect."

		"I most certainly agree with you there Sam. As I said
earlier, I sometimes have difficulty breathing around Josh."

		"To continue on, Josh has always been able to make people
feel comfortable in his presence, but tonight while we were at Town Hall it
is the MOST DOWN I have ever seen him. Hermie if you have any brains in
your head you have got to be able to see just how he feels about you. I
mean, these past couple of weeks Josh has been the happiest that I have
ever seen him - He positively glows ! Please, if you have any sense don't
loose sight of what is possible I believe between you and Josh over what
happened earlier today at the pool." and with that he stares at me with
great intensity.

		"I have a question for you Sam. Have you ever been with
Josh....you know...aahhh.....sexually/" I asked and stared back at him.

		"Now that is really coming out of left field? What makes
you think that I would want to be with Josh in that way?" he asks me.

		"Like you said Sam, I am not exactly a dummy. When we have
all been together, don't think that I haven't noticed how you and Vinny
react to him. To say that I have not checked out all of your reactions to
Josh would be a total fucking lie." and this time I gave him a big grin and
I think some of the tension started to melt away.

		"You are certainly full of surprises Hermie." and he
chuckles. "I I have been with Josh, would that really make a difference
right now."

		"No Sam, I can't say that it would. I was just curious -
that's all."

		"Ok since you asked, not that I have not tried but I have
never had intercourse with Josh - now mind you it hasn't been because I
haven't tried." and Sam smiles and breathes a couple of deep breaths.."But
I guess I won't be betraying Josh by saying that we have traded off
blowjobs with each other. Does that bother you Hermie?"

		"To tell you the truth; I wouldn't think you had any
hormones at all if you hadn't. I mean Josh to me is AMAZING !"

		"Hermie you dolt, Josh thinks that you are amazing also -
GOT IT !" and with that he stands up and says "Now I'm going back to
Vinny's and my room. By the way Josh is there also -........hhmmm...is
there anything that you want me to tell him?" and he grins big time.

		"Yup, Sam just tell him to get back to our room just as
fast as he can - I will be waiting for him."

		"Okee..Dokee....glad to hear it and might I add that from
what I can see that you are ANXIOUS to see him." and then Sam chuckles.

		Then I walk over to Sam and give him a friendly but firm
full 2 arm hug.

		"Hermie...Josh is one my best friends but I hope that we
will also become the best of friends." and with that he goes for the door
and I thought I could hear him take off at a run. I grin and realize how
foolish I have actually been today and DAMNED if I wasn't really looking
forward to Josh getting back to our room as fast as possible.

		About 20 minutes later, I could hear someone running on the
gravel outside of the room. The door opens from the out side and then the
door to our room opens and in comes Josh, a little out of breath and
flushed from the run he had taken to get back to the room. I was sitting at
my desk and he was standing just inside of the door looking at me trying to
get his breathing back to a regular pace. Guess the both of us were feeling
a little awkward for a few moments as to what to say right at that
point. But we were both staring at one another with a strong intensity.

		"Josh - and please let me finish before you say
anything.....PLEASE !!" and I looked at him. I know that he could see that
my eyes were filling up and that if he did not let me have my say; that I
would be a hell of a state.....he knew me quite well.

		"OK - Hermie" go ahead and he started a grin on his
face. Maybe he knew some of what I was going to say.

		"Josh - what happened at the pool was embarrassing for me -
it really was. But I also know that I probably - no not probably - I
overreacted. It's ...just well....aahhh....I WAS DARN CLOSE TO CUMING ... I
know that you feel how much I like you, but I just don't think that you
realize JUST HOW MUCH OF AN EFFECT that you do have on me. I mean you are
AWESOME..and I mean that with all of my being. I was saying that stuff
about quitting the team just so I could try to hurt you. I wanted to get
back at you but in saying that I now realize that I could never really hurt
you. You mean too much to me. I am asking you to PLEASE...PLEASE....to
forgive me for overreacting the way that I did." and with that I just bowed
my head and slumped my shoulders. Josh did not speak for what seemed like
an eternity to me, although it was only a few moments. Then I heard his
steps as he walked over to where I was seated. I could see his feet right
in front of me as I still had my head bowed. Then I felt his hand run
through my hair and then the other hand caressed my right cheek. Then he
put a hand on each shoulder and motioned me to my feet. I lifted my head up
and was looking right into those sexy green eyes of his. I saw them
sparkling and a couple of tears on his cheek. We stood just drinking in
each other's gaze for a couple of seconds.

		Then Josh leans in to me and gently but also with an
urgency with his mouth open and presses his lips to mine. The kiss was ever
so tender at first, with electric tingles going all over me. In unison, our
mouths opened, our tongues met and glided against one another. We were
tasting and touching one another with tenderness and an urgency and depth
that was not hurried but with a great strength to it. After a bit, Josh
slowly moves his head back and grins while looking straight into my eyes.

		"Do you think that I forgive you now?...and I could feel
his chest against mine breathing deeply and the strong rhythmic beats of
his heart.

		"...ahh..Yes.....Josh......ahhh...Yes......" I breathed
back as I felt so completely content knowing that things were again right
between us. My but how life can throw you to what seems like the lowest of
lows and then to the highest of highs.


Monday morning - on the way to my very first class of the semester :

		Here I am walking to my first class of the semester -
English 101. From what I had read of the course catalogue, this was
required of all incoming freshman and transfer students, if the transfer
students did not have satisfactory grades in English from their previous
school. I really did not mind because I had a feeling that college level
English was going to be way different from what I had know in high
school. And I was to find out that was going to be true. In high school,
your teachers many times had to coach your work out of you. Here it would
be well discussed in class, you would be given an assignment and the due
date. You might and then you might not be reminded of the due date. One
thing for sure, you had better have done your best and have the assignment
in on time. It was kind of a general policy, for each day that an
assignment was late, then the possible grade for that assignment would be
lowered one grade. So 2 or 3 days late and you might as well just hang it
up !

		I could see the building I needed off in the distance in
the Languages Complex. But just at this moment my mind slipped off to
Saturday night. Josh and I had come to a newer and a deeper understanding
of what we meant to one another. For both of us it was a Time of
Discovery. The rewards of such discovery to this point were
becomimg....mmm...shall we say......GREAT !!!

		On Saturday night, Josh reminded me that the coach had
suggested that I shave my body hair. The coach doesn't require that all
pubic hair be shaved but since all other body hair is shaved - just might
as well to get the total feeling of smoothness. Since we had seen under
their door that the lights were off in the room next to ours, Josh with a
big grin on his face said he would be more than glad to help me - I JUST
KNEW HE WOULD and I SURE DID NOT MIND ! We had met our next door neighbors
Greg and Brad before and had spoken to them several times but they pretty
much seemed to be in their own activities. That was fine with me since I
was finding my time starting to be quite occupied with the swim team.

		The shower when it is turned on doesn't really give off too
much noise into the rooms. That was good as it was quite late when we got
around to my body shave. We had both stripped in our room and Josh grabbed
a couple of shavers and a can of shaving cream. After getting the water
temperature warm enough, we both stepped in and got wet and soapy and YEAH
we hugged and carressed.

		Josh turned the shower head as close to the wall as
possible so the spray would not be hitting me as hard. He shakes the can of
shaving cream and puts some in his right hand. 1st he creams up my armpits
and shaves them. 2nd - he kneels down in front of me and looks up with a
grin. I told him that he looked good there - in fact that he looked good in
any position and with that comment from me he kisses me on my knee. At just
that moment, getting kissed on the knee was one of sexiest things I had
ever experienced. Sure enough I sprang an instant boner. Josh chuckled and
told me to be careful or I would put his eye out with that weapon. He puts
shaving cream all over my legs and my crotch and balls. Oh my.....Oh
my....this was getting to be about erotic as you can possible imagine. He
shaves my legs first and then he holds on to my cock and carefully shaves
it. Next cam my balls which by this time had started to pull up under and
close to my body. He had to pull at them and stretch them out so that he
could shave them. All the while he was breathing heavier and heavier. I
asked him if we should stop and take care of a little something.

		He said no that he wanted to get to shaving the backs of my
legs and my butt. After finishing off my legs, Josh turned his attention to
my butt. While actually kneading the muscles in my ass, he then shaves the
butt cheeks and the area under them right next to my upper thighs. Then he
told me to use my hands and pull my butt cheeks apart so that he could
shave as close as possible. I didn't know how this was going to affect my
swimming speed but Josh said to do it and I pulled my cheeks apart.

		Very tenderly and carefully with firm strokes he shaves the
hair in my crack and around my anus. Kinda of thought this isn't feeling so
bad. He had me turn to the shower head to rinse it off and then turn back
around to him. Then using his own hands he spreads my butt cheeks apart to
make sure he had gotten all the hair he was telling me. Next I felt
something warm right on my anus....and ...and...then I realized that Josh
was using his tongue to lick me. I was in ectasy......my hips and legs
starting to tensing and relaxing as he circled and then put his tongue dead
center.....WOW...WOW...he pushed his tongue right on into me.......at that
point my cum flew against the shower wall like a cannon ball
!!!!!!...........

		"Good Lord." I said to myself; I am already here at the
building for my English Class. But I was standing still with my back on a
tree. I did not have a clue as to just how long I had been standing
there. Just reliving Saturday night had made me a bit weak in the
knees. One thing for sure, after Josh had massaged me while the pictures
were being taken; I thought that wearing a jockstrap might be order. At
least that way maybe I wouldn't be walking around with a raging hardon
showing in front. I looked at my watch and I still had a couple of minutes
to get into the building to my class - thank goodness.

		I held open the door to the building for a couple of girls
who were entering the building. They thanked me and as they walked past,
they turned and glanced back. I couldn't help but grin to myself as I felt
their gaze. You know what gaze I mean - The Appraisal Gaze. From the smiles
on their faces, you could say that I passed with their approval. Little did
they know that I was Gay. I mean I like having some female friends but
sexually there wasn't a chance. There would be snowballs thrown down under
before that would ever happen with me. Guess looking so masculine sure
"fooled" a lot of people. Well I am masculine and a well built guy. I like
other men sexually and that goes with manhood. There is not a thing in my
mind that desires to have feminine attributes in relation to other men. Not
that it is wrong for some guys to want to imagine that their boyfriends are
men and that they have a feminine roll - but that is certainly not my
perspective. Just the way I am and with Josh in my life, I am extremely
comfortable with that approach.

		Room 307 it said above the door; yup this is where the
class is going to be. Thank goodness the professor had not started his
class yet but I think he was just about to. So I took a seat without really
taking that much notice of who I was sitting next to. But just before the
class started I felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning around I came face to
face with Vinny. He had a big smile and gave me a thumbs up. Guess he was
happy about us having a class together. I gave him a quick smile and turned
back around as the professor was starting to speak.

		"Realizing that this is the first week and many of you are
new to this campus; I am not going to get too upset with a couple of you
being late. But after this week, I would appreciate it if you got here a
little earlier than the last person who entered the room." and with that
comment he looks straight at me. He didn't really have a frown on his face
or a smile but just a pleasant look. I kinda drew the left side of my mouth
down in a humble like sorry look.

		"I don't know how many of you realize this but English 101
is a basic class. Though I will not be treating it as if it is a group of
sniveling dolts that I am dealing with." Boy was that ever a descriptive
term but I decided that he was not actually calling us that.

		"My practice is, after the first couple of weeks, is to try
and individualize my instruction as much as possible. If some of the
members of this class show that they can move ahead a little faster, then
the instruction for those students will be geared so that they can progress
quicker. There will be certain "basics" which all students must meet in
order to pass. But if you want to end up with an A or a B, then you must
show me something that justifies those grades. Just meeting the basics
certainly will not earn you an A or a B. Now enough of the info about
grades." and he looked around at us to see if there were any questions. As
he was looking, I really took a good look at him. I could take a good look
from where I was seated. It is an "old rule" about when you get to class -
The later you are to class, the closer you end up sitting to the front of
the class'. And I was seated right in the front row. This of course gave me
a chance to see him up close.

		As he was continuing to talk, I was struck by how dark his
black hair was. His eyes were so sky blue that clouds could have used them
as a background. There was just a touch of gray at his temples. This was
one good looking older guy. When I say older, I don't think he was much
more than his late thirties. To me, that is certainly not ancient. I was
hearing what he was saying but at the same time I was looking at him as a
physical being. He was looking good though I certainly don't think I was
fantasizing about his sexually at that point, HE WAS GOOD LOOKING !

		"We are going to do an exercise in class today. Some of you
might groan about it but I want to see what you can come up with. I have
read you some short poems. I hope that you noticed that they were simple in
form but yet quite charming in what they had to say. Another thing that I
am pointing out to you now is that the words at the end of the 1st and 3rd
lines rhymed and the words at the end of the 2nd and 4th lines also
rhymed. For the rest of the class today I want you at least get 4 lines
done, that is the bare minimum; but I would like to see more." and with
that he took a step out of the room. Some of us kind of looked at one
another with rather puzzled looks on our faces. You could almost hear
people saying 'Duh?' all over the room.

		I turned around to Vinny to see how he was reacting but he
had already started writing. I turned back around and thought that I had
better get something down on paper also. Really had not done this before;
but as I was finding out - there were many things that had happened in just
the couple of weeks I had been here so far. To myself I emphatically said
'Here goes" and I proceeded to write. What I was writing about and trying
to find rhyming words for dealt with what was so significant to me so
far. Not that I was going to try to sound really philosophical but that was
were I was getting the most motivation in my thoughts. In the next 5
minutes I had the bare minimum 4 lines written down. I was finding that I
could come up with some more so I proceeded to let my rhyming thoughts etch
their way across the surface of my paper. Without fully realizing it, I was
really getting into this and found that it was enjoyable.

		"It's time to collect whatever you have written to this
point. I will take a couple of minutes to glance over what has been passed
in and maybe I will read one or 2 of them. Now don't worry, I won't read
out the names of whoever has written these works; unless of course I ask if
it is all right and they give me permission to." the professor said as the
work was being passed in. I was thinking to myself that I didn't think that
I would want mind to be read aloud. He sat on his stool looking over them
and it looks like he stops at one and is reading over it more
deliberately. Then he looks up at us.

		"Now here is one that is not overburdened with overgrown
word construction but is powerful in what it has to say. I want to get your
reactions so I am going to read it to you now." as he proceeds to read, I
realize that he has picked mine. I kinda gulped hard and looked straight
ahead at him.

		"Looking into the deep green
		 Of your eyes I try to see
		 What to you I mean
		 And I know that I see me

		Standing next to you
		I find it hard to breathe
		To clearly get thoughts through
		To know what to conceive

		When I feel your touch
		It charges totally through me
		For you is it such
		Can it be, Will it be

		Have I found my other half
		Will it become known
		Or will you but laugh
		And nothing there will be grown"

		"Now class, I feel that this is a good and direct
question. The question is one of emotion as to whether someone has found
the person for them. It is well and truly stated and with clear and
unfettered sensibility. What do you all think?" and he looks at the
class. What comments were made were quite favorable and I was hopeing that
my blush was not too totally obvious. But right at that moment I felt a tap
on my shoulder and I turned around to see Vinny looking at me.

		"Hermie, ..aahhh....got to tell you that is damned
good. One other thing thing.......Josh is one damned lucky dog...OK !!!"
and with that I was thinking that I hoped that no once had heard what Vinny
had just said. I don't believe that anyone had from what I could tell, at
least no one was too obviously looking in our direction. The professor read
a couple more of the papers which had been passed in and then dismissed
us. Vince and I walked out and onto the grassy area which was in front of
the building. Vinny motioned me towards a stone bench which was nearby and
we sat down.

		"Hermie, can I ask you something?" and he kind of looked at
me out of the corner of his eye. He wasn't really smiling but then again he
was looking at me with a look that was ..how ....do you say....was a
penetrating type of look.

		"Sure Vinny, fire away. What's up?" and I looked straight
back at him.

		"Well, you already know that Sam, Josh, and I have been
friends for a long time. And we know each other pretty dag gone well. Maybe
I shouldn't say too much but I don't think it is being too nosy of me to
say that in the past several days that I have seen quite a change in
Josh. This is to your credit I do believe." and Vinny gives me a great big
grin. "Josh has been so relaxed. He has shown a contentment that I have
never seen in him before. He has always before had an uptight aspect to
him. I mean his father is a hard taskmaster with always expecting so much
of him. he is always pushing Josh so hard. Guess he wants him to be his
best but it just seems like his Dad is setting the goals and Josh isn't. I
think in the last few days, Josh is being able to cope with things
better. Now if I am out of place in saying this, just tell me and I will
buzz off." and then Vinny looks at me with a smile and looks at me like he
is waiting for me to say something - and I would venture to say that he is
waiting for something to come from me. For a few moments I just look down
at the grass and wonder just how and what I should say about how I feel
about Josh to Vinny. I mean just how far should I go in what I say. Much of
how I feel has been, to my way of thinking, pretty obvious to both Vinny
and Sam.

		"I am kind of wondering just what do you expect me to
say. If you are expecting me to say that I really like Josh, that I
do. That should be pretty obvious by now. If you expect me to make some
kind of .....aahhh.....committal statement to you right now....I am not
going to do that. That I don't think would be right. That is a matter
between Josh and I, don't you think so?" and as I said that I looked at
Vinny directly with a smile on my face. While I looked at Vinny, he slowly
widened his mouth in a grin and nodded his head. I do believe I could see a
sparkle in his eyes. I knew then that he understood what I meant. He slowly
rose to his feet and said that he needed to be going to his next class. I
stuck out my hand to shake his, and at that he took my hand and pulled my
arm towards him.

		"I don't think Josh will mind a small hug between
friends....that is if you don't mind Hermie?" and he looks at me.

		"Sure don't Vinny !!" and I put my right arm around his
shoulder to hug him and pat him on his shoulder. At this point in time, I
am comfortable enough with who I am to give a friend a hug - female or MALE
! A hug is a way of communicating that you value someone and you really do
value them. Then we parted and nodded to one another as we walked away to
our separate ways.

		"See ya at swim practice this afternoon Hermie." Vinny
called back to me.

		"Yup see ya there." I called back to Vinny.

		I had a couple of hours before my next class, which was my
Life Drawing Class. It was fairly close to the front part of the campus so
I decided to go back to my room for a while. This would give me a chance to
go to the dining hall also. It was getting close to the end of the noon
dining hours but if I hurried I would be able to grab a little something to
eat. So I started jogging a good little clip and got to the dining hall
just in time to get a few leftovers of food. I say leftovers but they
weren't too bad. I did not stuff myself as I did not want to feel bloated
when I got to swim practice. After I ate I decided to go to my room for a
while, like I said the art class was fairly close to where our dorm room
was located. And besides, I decided to take one of my sketchbooks to the
art class. As I was walking to the room from the dining hall, I was
thinking about my conversation with Vinny concerning Josh. Plus I was
wondering what and where Josh was at that moment. When I got to the outside
door, I heard the shower going in the bathroom. I walked on into the room
and looked for my sketchbook. As I was opening the drawer to my desk, I
heard the door to our room open. Turning around I saw that it was Josh
coming in with a towel around his waist. I stood there for a moment just
looking at him and felt my ability to breath starting to constrict. Then I
just got a real big SHIT EATING GRIN on my face.

		"Hey Bud I thought you probably had class but then again I
see you are here and what a DELIGHFUL SIGHT you
are......MMMM.....MMMMMHHHH.....!!!!!"and with that a big smile spreads
across Josh's face. As he smiles at me, he backs towards the door to our
room and locks the door. Then he walks towards me and stands in front of
me.

		"Well actually I do have a while until my
......aahhhh......art class begins." and I stare into those awesome green
eyes of his." and I reach out and loosen his towel. But as I do so, he
takes a step back away from me. I look at him with a slightly confused look
on my face. He the walks around behind me and puts his arms around me and
hugs me tight and licks on my right ear and then my left ear. Then he leans
in and whispers something in my ear that to this day THAT I SHALL NEVER
EVER EVER FORGET THE DATE AND THE WAY HE DID IT.

		"Hermie......I have just 3 words for you.....just
3........OK." and he turns me around to face him.

		"And what might those 3 words be?" I ask him. Now mind you,
I have felt what he was about to tell me but I had not brought myself to
say the exact words he was about to tell me. So to me this was definitely
monumental, as Josh was the first to say them.

		"Hermie......I .....LOVE.....YOU......!!!!!!!!!!" ......and
with that statement I threw my arms around him, plastered my mouth on his
and I do believe I well cleaned his tonsils with my tongue !!!!!!!!!!
