Hey guys, new story for you all. I know i’ve been away for some time, and I’m sorry for that. Life got hectic. No, I’m not with anyone and I didn’t ditch you all for a boyfriend ;) I basically just wrote this to express my happiness over the past few weeks. I’m going to be in the USA this year on a holiday. I’m hitting up Anaheim, Denver, and New York City. I see this as the beginning of my life, and I’ve drawn basically from personal events in the story. It’s still fiction though (I wish that it wasn’t like CRAZY). Anyway, I hope you all enjoy, I love you all :-) -- momoman.

Equal Love

Part I

Here I was, standing on the edge of this great precipice. My best friend of 10 years was by my side and he was screaming at the top of his lungs while walking through some of the main streets in Melbourne, alongside other people waving rainbow banners and propaganda at passersby who were cheering us along. I finally raised my arms, stepped off the edge, looked to the sky and couldn’t help but think I could feel the oncoming change in my country, my home.

--------

‘WHAT?’ I stammered. ‘Equal Love, that march in the city.’ He elaborated, not needing my unnecessary comment. My stunned, unbelieving face had given me away completely. ‘Uhh...’ I began, then I turned three shades of red faster than traffic lights, realising that I sounded and looked like a complete idiot. ‘Maybe, You know me, I’m shy...’ I said in a subdued tone. He rolled his eyes. Tom was my best friend for two reasons. One, he was the world’s biggest slut and with a seconds notice, could hook you up with someone amazing. Two, he was always coy about everything that wasn’t personal, he was great to talk to, a good listener. ‘Well, Ben, it’s on Saturday, so make up your tiny mind ov-’ He was cut off because I playfully slapped his ass for saying I was tiny-minded. ‘-ernight.’ He finished, unabashed.

I was seething. How could he invite me to something like that? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m a full backer of this cause. I, like every other gay person in Australia wanted “Equal Love” in my country. But I preferred to be a silent supporter. I, unlike my best friend, liked to be behind the scenes. ‘Sure. I’ll let you know this evening.’ I eventually said, his trademark grin spread across his face after that. I put my finger on his lips, his face went slack. ‘No, No, No...you promised, no more.’ I chortled. He scowled.

I suppose I should explain. Tom and I have history, not just the 10 year best-friend status, he was heavily into me for a time. I never returned his feelings but he held on for more than a year. Eventually, he became more and more distant, falling back to friend status. Eventually, we settled and became best friends. Although, I was sure, even though he didn’t show it, that he still had feelings for me. Whenever I agreed to something he asked me to do, he called me names like “Cutie”, “Hottie” or “Sexy”. I didn’t like that, and I eventually told him and made him promise he wouldn’t say them anymore. He still had trouble keeping to it.

‘Fine...Sorry’ He said, pulling away. I locked my arms to him in a tenacious grasp.
‘You really think you can get away from me right now?’ I asked. He groaned, then smiled despite himself. ‘I suppose not.’ He replied, coldly. I recoiled. He managed to wrangle his way out and he stood three feet away, arms folded, glaring at me. ‘Oh yeah, I’ll go’ I said, as a last resort. Tom’s natural bubbly-ness started to creep out despite himself as he unfolded his arms and began to babble at top speed. In ten seconds flat, he’d given me information on what he was going to wear, what he wanted me to wear, what he wanted me to even say. I’d just nodded. It was Friday afternoon and I had a severe case of “3:30-itis.” I wasn’t going to put up with anything. Tomorrow was going to take about four of me to get through, so I decided to return to my office. ‘See you tomorrow, Cutie!’ He called. I kept walking and I heard him laugh even harder.



Part II

I awoke very, very early. So early, that it was still dark. I laid back on the pillow, closed my eyes, and mentally repeated “Sleep, Sleep, Sleep” over and over. It didn’t work, I was completely and utterly awake. I swung my legs out and sat up. I walked over to my alarm clock and saw that it was 06:45. I decided that it was an OK time to be awake so I pulled out my requested outfit for the day. I walked to the kitchen, grabbed an LCM and snarfed it down. ‘That’ll do me for about half an hour’ I complained mentally while walking around to the bathroom. I stripped off and got into the steaming shower. ‘You never cease to amaze me...’ A voice sounded from the doorway, and I jumped.

‘Tom....what the....hell are you doing here?’ I asked in between taking shuddering gasps. His smile vanished. ‘Sorry..I knocked, and rang that doorbell of yours. Then I just pushed the door open. I didn’t think you’d mind.’ He explained. I smiled and told him that it was perfectly fine, then asked him to give me some privacy. ‘Not a chance. Now that i’ve finally seen you without a shirt, let alone...’ He trailed off while standing on his tiptoes to see over the edge of the shower recess, I covered myself. ‘Your luscious cock...Huh...Fuck you then. I’ll wait outside.’

He didn’t look happy as he wheeled about and closed the door behind him. I couldn’t help but feel bad. I decided to walk out naked, with no towel, dripping wet, and dry myself in front of him as a treat. I’d forgotten what it was like to have another man stare at me naked in the 3 years that I’d been single. It was, rather hard to readjust to. Since Tom and I had become closer and closer over the intervening months, seeing each other naked was bound to occur sooner or later. ‘Wasn’t it?’ I asked myself. I decided that it was to appease my own anxiety. ‘What did you say?’ Tom called through the heavy bathroom door. ‘Don’t worry!’ I yelled back. I turned off the shower and stepped out from the recess. I opened the door and walked out naked.

‘Oh...My...G-!’ Was all he could manage. He ogled my dripping wet, muscled body. In the past three years, I’d spent half my life at the local gym. I’d workout every morning, afternoon and evening for three hours each bit. The results definitely gave me more confidence. I smirked at Tom, who was still openmouthed. I yanked the towel toward me from the door, my biceps contracting in a slick motion. I was carefully watching Tom in my peripheral vision. ‘Nice.’ I commented, pointing at his crutch where a tent had just been erected. ‘Sorry..’ He said, snatching a book from my wall-length-and-height bookshelf to place over it. I reached out and batted it away. ‘What are you doing?’ He asked, confused. I couldn’t help but laugh. ‘I think it’s only fair if-’ I began. He laughed, but didn’t make any further moves. I was proud of him.

I finished drying myself off and walked back into the bathroom to retrieve my set outfit from the in-built closet behind the wall. I turned around and caught Tom ogling my butt from behind, trying to be subtle. I smiled, turned around and closed the door. ‘That’s okay I’ll wait out here!’ He called after the door clicked shut. I laughed and changed into my outfit. Dark wash denim jeans, Enormous black leather belt, Black leather shoes and my dark grey Peacoat that i’d gotten from New York about 6 years ago. It felt like there was something missing. ‘Tom what have you gotten me into here!?’ I called. ‘JUST WEAR IT!’ I reviewed my look in the mirror. The open peacoat -- I’d been given explicit instructions to NOT do up the buttons -- definitely gave the right impression, It showed off my body perfectly. I put on my watch. I slapped on some aftershave, fixed my hair and opened the bathroom door. I found Tom with his hands frozen in mid-air when I opened it. He’d obviously been finding a way to open the door from the outside. I dangled the card-key at him. ‘You need this.’ I teased.

‘I’ll set you up with one of your own soon enough, you need it.’ I said. He balked at me, mouth open for what I thought was the fifth time this morning. I’d lost count. ‘What, one that works with the front door only?’ He retorted, rolling his eyes. ‘Okay, you caught me.’ I said, chuckling. ‘Of course not, one that works with the whole place, but you only get it once I let you in.’ I said and he returned to the glum expression. ‘Outfit looks excellent? No?’ I asked. ‘Fab!’

I was getting a big head, so I beckoned him to accompany me to the kitchen. I knew he was walking behind me for a reason. I opened the fridge and handed him the milk. I retrieved the cereal and two bowls. ‘Unsolicited generosity? This early in the day?’ He asked. I rolled my eyes. ‘You better be joking’ I told him, waggling my finger. It took him about ten seconds to reply ‘Of course!’, which made me sure he wasn’t, just that he was appeasing me. ‘What time do you want to head down to the march?’ I asked, to break the awkward silence. “Whenever, the sooner, the better.’

Part III

We finished our cereal in silence, and I picked up my satchel bag and slung it over my shoulder. ‘I never thought of that, it makes everything all the better!’ Tom critiqued, waving his “Hotness-meter” over my torso. I slapped his hand away and grabbed the card key from my pocket, checked for my wallet in my bag and then gestured to the front door. Tom walked ahead of me. ‘HEY!’ He said, turning around. ‘What?’ I asked innocently. He’d obviously heard me when I’d said the cliché “Ladies first” under my breath. I groped his ass, and that seemed to settle him. He left and got into my car. I took ten more seconds to ask myself why I was doing this, then I walked out, swiped the card to lock up, and got in the car.

I found, what I thought, was THE best parking spot in all the city. I must have had a smug expression playing around my lips when Tom told me that it wasn’t that “epic”. I chuckled, then told him to look out of the windscreen, pointing at the sign not 100 metres away. “EqualLove Marriage Equality March here today! 8:30AM!” Tom, once again, had his mouth open. ‘Okay, scratch that last, you’re amazing, as usual.’ He admitted unwillingly. I smiled, then stepped out of the car and put money in the meter a few spots away. I walked back to the car and the crisp Melbourne weather blew my peacoat open. I didn’t mind, it stayed on. I’m not ashamed to say that I was glad both Women and Men passing by we’re overtly checking me out. I got back in the car and Tom ran his hands over my washboard abs. I slapped his hand away playfully. He scowled.

We spent the remaining twenty minutes listening to background music on my H/K car stereo. He was babbling, as usual, while playing with the EQ settings and volume knob. I suddenly cut him off and pointed to the clock in the dash. ‘Oh, 8:20, yeah, let’s go.’ He said, getting out. I locked up the car and followed him across to where the two unnecessarily feminine gay men, and the two lesbians were awaiting fellow marchers. Both gay men pretended to die when they saw me approaching with the wind-blown-open peacoat. I laughed quietly. Tom, didn’t like it. Instead of talking to them, he turned his attention to the lesbians and engaged them in some stimulating conversation. I rolled my eyes and started talking to the two men. Turns out that they were both very nice guys, once you got over the feminine factor. Usually, I couldn’t take any form of overt feminism in men of my chosen sexual orientation. It drove me mad, but it wasn’t so with these two. They told me that they’d been in a civil union for two and a half years, that they’d met as mutual friends 8 years previously and spent time as best friends, before they’d both gotten a wake-up-call while depressed about the fact that they we’re both alone, by a friend telling them that the perfect man was under their respective noses. I couldn’t help but draw comparisons to myself and Tom. They gestured to him then, and winked at me. They then left and started conversing with others who had shown up. I joined the lesbians.

It surprised me that Tom put his hand in my back pocket then, whispering at me to ‘go with it’ as an older, slutty looking gay man was eyeing him. He looked disappointed and turned his attention to another man, equally as slutty. ‘Match made in heaven!’ I chimed in a low voice and all four of us laughed. ‘Personally, I don’t get what it is with the feminine, slutty gay men’ Louise said to me, shaking her head. Her partner, Sam(antha) groped her boobs from behind and kissed her neck. ‘I know, right?’ She said, speaking to all of us. We agreed wholeheartedly. ‘They drive me mad.’ I said. Tom chuckled and gestured from me, to himself. ‘Oh, looks like we’re beginning.’ Louise announced, then they started to walk up the street. Tom and I joined the middle of the crowd of people. We were, once again, walking against the wind. My exposed body was drawing the attention of every gay man within a ten metre radius, Tom didn’t like it. He kept tut’ing and scoffing under his breath. When a rather attractive, non feminine guy walked up to me and asked me if i’d ever consider ‘going for a coffee sometime’ Tom began a stream of unintelligible words that sounded a lot like a long line of profanities.

I scowled in his general direction and accepted the man’s business card. He bounced off to his previous place and Tom continued with his expertise in swearing. I was still too nervous to do anything like Tom was now, walking down the main street of the city, everybody in the huge crowd started shouting “EqualLove!” over and over and over again, waving their banners and wolf-whistling. Passersby exiting and entering each department store and miscellaneous shop cheered and clapped for us. I was standing on the edge of a mental precipice, nearly ready to express my happiness that was coursing through my body. I finally raised my arms, stepped off the edge, looked to the sky and couldn’t help but think I could feel the oncoming change in my country, my home.

Tom looked at me, smiling. As did every other gay man around me once again, abusing the chance to ogle my arms, pectorals and abs with impunity. I lowered my arms and kept marching with Tom, still against the wind. We soon reached the end of the street and turned left. Finally, the weather was behind me and the coat settled over my body again. Tom slapped my ass and danced out of the way when I raised my arm to, unawares to him, grope him in return. Tom started to walk in front of me. I used that time to check him out and do some deep thinking about what those two gay men -- Matt and Michael -- had told me about my perfect man.

Before I knew it, we were on the home stretch. Walking back toward our starting point. Sam and Louise joined me then, and so did Matt and Michael not long after that. I pulled Tom back into our group and we decided to go hang out someplace after the march. We stopped at the starting point and, acting on a whim, I turned to Tom and he turned to me. I pulled him in slowly and I kissed him passionately. I began the kiss, and I had to end it. I pushed him away gently, but easily. ‘Really? Are you sure?’ He asked, eyebrows so high they were in danger of vanishing below his fringe. ‘I have never been more sure about anything ever before in my life.’ I said. Tom exhaled and basically jumped into my arms. Matt and Michael whooped and ooh’ed. Louise and Sam slapped me high-fives. I stared into Tom’s bright, happy eyes and kissed him one last time before realising that it had been almost 12 years since i’d seen that look in his eyes.

Part IV

Tom, Matt, Michael, Louise, Sam and Myself left the group shortly afterward and walked in formation up to this funky little electro-bar three blocks away. Tom and I, with hands in each other’s back pockets. The bar, as usual was blasting electro-house on it’s huge speakers, which made the experience more enjoyable. Three vodka shots later each, and all of us were flirting ineptly. Tom, unaware that it was me he was talking to, introduced himself and offered his business card. Matt and Michael were flirting with Louise and Sam and they were doing their best to not recoil. Three more and we were slutting up to one another on the dance-floor. Louise and Sam were no longer recoiling from Matt and Michael, instead, they were making out with them. Tom and I, still had our heads. We were on the floor also but we weren’t dancing, my coat was long gone, in my satchel bag. My shirtless form had attracted a total of eleven gay men, not counting the ones at the march. Each of those times, I’d gently rebuffed them and told them I had a boyfriend. ‘Boyfriend’ was a word that still made me shudder internally. I’d settled into my single-man routine well-and-truly about 2 years previously. Tom, was buoyant.

‘I’m so happy.’ Was all he could keep saying. He sounded like a broken record, but I didn’t mind. I’d kissed him more times tonight, than I’d kissed my last boyfriend in our entire relationship. And it lasted for eight years. That bothered me. I didn’t make Tom wise to that fact, he would’ve undoubtedly deflated, and I was happy to leave him happy. I was happy, so it was a moot point. I told Matt, Michael, Louise and Sam, that Tom and I were leaving. ‘Noooooo!’ Sam whined. Michael and Matt simultaneously put their hands on their hips, dropped one side and tilted their heads. They fell over. I laughed. I wrote down all their numbers, and gave them all mine. They asked for Tom’s. ‘Tom will be, reachable from my place of residence for the foreseeable future. It’s no problem.’ I said, winking. They beamed. I waved, and walked with Tom in the sobering breeze, still shirtless, ten blocks to my car.

‘Okay, you win this one babe’ I said when we were about half way there. He let out a bark of surprised laughter ‘What?’ I giggled also, at his shocked expression. ‘You were right, the parking spot wasn’t all that epic after all’ I explained, grinning momentarily at my brazen use of his trademark word. ‘Gimme ten!’ He demanded. I opened my wallet. He scowled and batted it away gently. ‘What then?’ I asked and he stepped forward.
‘Oh, right’ I said, comprehension dawning on my face. ‘One-Two-Three’ I began, each word punctuated with a kiss in between. ‘Nine-Ten!’ I finished, exultant. He beamed.
‘Perfect’. I couldn’t have put it better myself. We reached the car then, in record time. Ten years of sexual tension between us was now bubbling to the surface and we were now all to anxious to get back to my house.

We drove in haste down the main streets and looped around to access the suburban overpass. I lived approximately five minutes from the CBD, walking. Driving, it strangely took 5 times the time. We pulled up in my garage, something Tom had never seen before, or never guessed that the wall opened into it. We exited the car, leaving our things in the trunk and we entered the house. We barely made it over the threshold, and Tom already had his shirt off. ‘Wow,’ I thought ‘he’d definitely been working out like I had.’ I pulled him into my arms, our naked torso’s grinding against each of us respectively, drove us both wild. I unbuckled my belt as we made it closer to my bedroom, and had my jeans and shoes off before we opened the door to it. Tom was already naked, had I missed that part? I stripped off the remaining articles of clothing and pushed him down on the bed. I straddled and started to kiss him again. He was returning the favour with a little too much enthusiasm, but it worked and I enjoyed it. I broke the kiss and moved my lips down his body, starting with his biceps, pectorals, then the abs. I then kissed down his arms and nuzzled into the crook of his arm. ‘Uh’ was all he could manage. I then focused on his balls, stimulating each of them until he called out in ecstasy. I raised my head, grinned, then licked his rock-hard shaft from hilt-to-tip in one swift motion. ‘Please..’ He begged, and I obliged. I slid my eager mouth over his penis and began to suck him. I was momentarily struck by the startling realisation that I had wanted this for too long. I continued using my tongue to maneuver the head and then, feeling suddenly courageous, I began to take it all in.

I closed my eyes, his seizing and shuddering body was turning me on something remote from reality. I hummed into the hilt when I reached it which made him literally shout. I continued one long hum and then his hand clamped down on my shoulder. I knew he was ready. I moved back up to half way and continued to suck, hard. He moaned and ‘Uhh’d’ a few more times before his shaft began to throb. I swallowed every drop of his luscious man-cream that spurted out in his explosive orgasm, nothing went to waste. I kept him inside my mouth until he pulled out and pushed me down on the bed to start returning the favour. He kissed me then, pulling away he licked his lips and winked. That was hot.

He focused on the underside of my pectorals, my armpits, biceps, abs, then finally, my cock. It was basically screaming at him to suck it, leaking copious amounts of pre-cum, which he licked up promptly. He sucked me off in a masterful fashion for nearly twenty minutes. I wanted him to enjoy himself, finally being able to suck me after ten years. I held back until he playfully employed teeth at the ever-sensitive tip to stimulate me. It worked. I shouted out. He sucked harder, licking the head, which had me convulsing like crazy. I shouted out once more before I shot my extensive load into his mouth. He groaned, savoured it, then took his mouth off. I wondered what he was doing before he moved so his face hovered over mine and he gulped it down. His lips were coated in cum. I pulled him down, and kissed them. We sucked on each other’s tongues for a bit, both still rock-hard. Before he whispered that he wanted me inside him.

I simply nodded, still too breathless for coherent speech, and he inserted me into him while still straddled over my body. I enjoyed the feeling of his beautifully tight ass surrounding my penis, almost as much as the look on his face that got more and more beatific with each thrust I gave. He continued sitting on me, thrusting slowly for about thirty minutes, then, he came again. I used my fingers and licked it up. He pulled off and laid down next to me, holding his own penis vertical. I returned to his physically amazing horizontal form and mounted myself on him. The feeling of his great cock penetrating my ass was excruciatingly amazing. I now loved him all the more, and I wanted to express this as best was possible. I kept his penis inside me, knowing the stars around my eyes meant he’d found my prostate. I kissed him passionately and rubbed my hands over his body. He shuddered and moaned. I jumped on his cock for over an hour, going very slowly, enjoying how he shouted every few minutes and whispered that he loved me in a hoarse voice. ‘I love you’ I said, and I took all of him inside me, finally. That was just too much, I came with so much force that it rocked my body. It landed on his pecs, neck and lips.

He used his fingers to lick up most of it, but left what was on his neck and lips for my benefit. I bent down and licked his neck clean. I then kissed him. ‘Yes’. I said, inhaling deeply. I unmounted him and we continued to make out for a time after that. We slowly kissed less and less as we caught our breath and the horniness faded from our systems.
‘I love you.’ I said, with as much passion as I could in my voice. ‘I love you more.’ He said, weakly. I kissed him one final time before we settled into each other and fell asleep on the bed. He was my nonpareil lover, and I loved him more than anything. “Equal Love” I thought, smiled, then closed my lids.

(Yes, four parts because I'm so sorry!)

TTYL, xx ;)

Ben,
We've missed you!
It took me a couple of days to savour your new story.
It's good to hear from you.

I hope all is well with you and yours!
:D :=D: (*8*) :wave:
 
Hey all,

I have the majority of the next two or so parts detailed. All they need is fleshing out and they should be up in the next couple of hours. At the most, tomorrow evening.

@DonQuixote: GREAT to hear from you too! Everything's fine here, well as fine as it can be I suppose. ;) It's good to be back.

TTYL, xx

Part V

I was having a very odd dream. I was running for my life through the trees in unfamiliar parkland, and it was raining. I knew that I should stop and seek shelter, but I just kept running. I eventually made it to the forest edge, knowing that there had to be civilization around somewhere, but no, there was just a vast expanse of marsh. I kept running, often I tripped. ‘Ben’ A voice called. I wheeled, facing the direction that the voice had come from. ‘Ben you must turn back!’ The voice called again. It sounded like Tom. I was still backing away. ‘Ben, NO!’ He screamed. I fell.

‘GAH!’ I spluttered when I awoke. I trashed around for about three seconds before I realized I was in my bed, all alone, safe and sound. I hated the spaz attack you had when you dreamed that you were falling. I looked at my clock, it was 3:11AM. I scowled, and got up. I walked out into the living room, and then down into my kitchen to grab a glass of water. Upon returning upstairs, I noticed a note from Tom.

~ Ben,

Today was marvelous, You’ve made me the happiest man alive. But, I don’t feel comfortable staying here with you just yet, I hope you understand, and can forgive me. Ilouaumwretgahnanything, Tom. ~

I flicked the desk lamp on to read the garbled last line. It was smudged into complete oblivion, nothing at all legible about it. On closer examination, I realized that they were tears. Seeing that Tom had cried, obviously tried to wake me, and left in a terrible state, brought my own tears up and out. I wiped them away, kissed the letter, and went back to bed.

~ December 11, 2021 - 9:09AM ~

I awoke and looked straight at the warm, yellow sunlight streaming in through my window. I knew it must be early to mid morning. I had to hold my head in a vice grip as I raised myself from my pillows. My hangover was worse than predicted. I blindly staggered to the bathroom and soaked under the shower for about twenty minutes. Feeling less clouded, I jogged down to the kitchen and made a basic breakfast. I saw the note that Tom had written me last night and I decided to re-examine the last smudged line. I snatched a piece of paper from the printer and started making an anagram from the available letters.

I was done in less than an hour. “I love you more than anything, Tom.” was written on the bottom of the note in my own personal hand. Just then, my phone buzzed. It was a text message from Tom.

~ Ben, I’m so sry for last night. Dunno what got in2 me, I hope u can 4give me bb, I <3 U more than U know. X ~

I hurriedly tapped my reply, telling him that I didn’t mind in the slightest, I wasn’t hurt, and I wasn’t insulted. The advantage of having a best friend for a boyfriend, meant that you understood everything about each other. I knew that if I just wrote something along the lines of “It’s fine” that he’d send about six back asking if I was insulted, hurt, angry or something similar. I closed the message with seven red hearts from the Emoji library, and hit Send.

I left my phone on the desk while I went and did my usual morning workout in my home basement gym. When I was done, I walked back upstairs and found that my phone was going insane on the table. I walked over to it. 4 missed calls. I dialed Tom’s number.

~ December 11, 2021 - 11:12AM ~

~ Oh thank god. ~
Don’t stress, I was downstairs working out. Easy does it. -
~ I’m outside, I can’t get in remember, it’s thundering down out here ~

I hit End Call and ran to the front door. Usually, the doorbell rang through my speaker system down to the basement, so I could halt my workout and go answer it. Seems the storm and my loud music weren’t a good combination. I disarmed the system and pulled the door open. Tom was standing there, completely saturated, holding his phone, with a severe expression on his face.

When he saw my innocent expression and naked body, he relaxed and stepped in. For occasions just like today, I had made sure I’d designed my house with a small foyer around the front door. This foyer, had a drainage system at the edges of the polished stone so it could drain away any excess water that I dragged in from the thoroughly unpredictable Melbourne weather around this time of year. Tom took off all his clothes and walked around the house naked with me before I couldn’t resist it any longer. I pulled him in and kissed him as passionately as I could manage. ‘Remind me again, why you’re naked?’ He asked. I chuckled and shook my head.

‘I’d completely forgotten about that part actually. I workout naked, maybe I should have mentioned that part?’ I said, still chuckling. Instead of laughing along with me, Tom looked horrified. ‘Oh, I do my cardio with clothes on, I don’t wanna be running...and.....’ I said, poking my tongue. ‘I wasn’t...you...I...free weights...balls...INSANE!’ He stammered. I realized what he was getting at. We both collapsed onto the sofas in complete hysterics. ‘Judging by yesterday, babe, you should know that I’m doing “Something” right, I mean how much did you...take?’ I asked, batting my eyelids. He nodded with a sudden hungry look in his eyes. ‘Yes, you shot...rather a lot.’ I smiled and pulled him to my bedroom. He’d never been allowed in there until last night, so it’s any wonder he felt strange suddenly going all the way and sleeping with me. I pulled him across the room to my wardrobe. To call it a wardrobe was a horribly drastic understatement. It had it’s secret compartments, two corridors sprawling off to the right, walls of mirrors and clothes, and a dedicated changing area.

‘What the fuck is this place?’ Tom asked, his mouth slack from shock.
‘This...is my wardrobe, closet...whatever you want to call it’ I said offhand. He scoffed and giggled slightly. ‘Do I get to hear the joke babe?’ I asked. He just looked at me, kissed me and pulled me in for a hug. ‘It’s just, if my closet were like this, I’d have never come out of it.’

I smiled and dived into the closest section. I threw him some new french jeans, unopened underwear, new shoes, and a new belt. ‘There.’ I said, walking back out to him. He was holding them gingerly. ‘Unworn, brand new. They’re yours.’ I said, swooping in to kiss him before diving back in to grab some of my own clothes. ‘Uh, babe?’ He called. I grunted, he took that as acknowledgement of his question, so he continued. ‘You forgot to give me a shirt?’ His statement was a question. I just chuckled and re-emerged from the wall of clothes already dressed, not wearing a shirt. ‘It’s an injustice to cover up this body, cutie.’ I said, running my hands over his abs, but I snatched a tee shirt from a rack behind him and pressed it into his chest. ‘For later.‘

I pulled him then, out of my closet and to my bed. We fell onto it and made out. ‘It feels so strange, Ben.’ He said, pushing me away a bit. I sat up to listen. ‘It may be petty, but I don’t feel welcome enough here.’ He said, looking a little sad. I didn’t quite know what to say. ‘Tom, you’ve been coming here for how long?’ I asked, nuzzling into him. ‘Maybe, this will help?’ I said, dangling a shiny black card in front of him. ‘A key-card? Really?’ He asked, astonished. ‘Really. It’s the second of the Master Keys. Oh, don’t look so shocked.’ I said, kissing his stunned face. He took the key-card from me and exited the bedroom, arming the door before he closed it.

I waited, grinning from ear to ear. I watched the little red LED light in the handle go green, and he re-opened the door. ‘It works....’ Was all he could say. I just sat there, still grinning like an idiot, until he dove into my arms. ‘Hi there!’ I chuckled and he laughed also. ‘Are you, honestly, serious?’ He asked. I hugged him closer to me and whispered ‘Yes’ in his ear. He kissed me then, and we fell back onto the mattress.

We didn’t resurface from the bedroom for over an hour and a half. When we did, we were both naked once more. ‘Well, two workouts in one day, i’ve broken my streak.’ I stated a little playfully. ‘What do you mean?’ Tom asked. I elaborated by explaining that I hadn’t worked out twice in one day since I’d finally worked up the body i’d wanted. ‘Oh right, now I get you.’ I winked and told him to insert his keycard ‘into the slot on the wall’. He did so and was amazed when the TV turned on, the cooling kicked in and a voice sounded from the ceiling speakers. “Welcome, Tom”.

‘NO WAY!’ He screamed, jumping into my arms. I laughed, managing to stay on the spot, holding him close to me with ease. ‘Okay, you caught me. I had this for you all along. By the way, you’ll move in, right?’ I threw the last bit in on a whim. He stepped out of my arms and backed away a few paces, to better see my expression to see if I was serious. He stepped forward, kissed me on the lips once and held me to him in a vice-like hug. ‘Definitely.’

Tom didn’t live in Melbourne. He lived over twenty minutes north in the suburbs. His place was nice, but small. He had to deal with the commute everyday for almost a decade for his job, and to see me. I would make sure that would no longer be a problem. ‘What will I do with my old place?’ He asked, seemingly on the same wavelength as myself. ‘We’ll keep it. Real-estate, is a good investment.’ I whispered, kissing his head as it was the only part my lips could reach. ‘Thanks. Now onto the next hurdle...’ He said.
 
Momoman,
Another nice installment on the road to romance.
Friends then lovers.
Looking forward to your next installment, already.
 
Thanks Don! :D
I have the next part fleshed out, I just need to go over it with a fine-tooth-comb to eliminate any errors I see fit to abolish. The new Part should be up later tonight, or at the latest, tomorrow.
I'm glad I have readers ;)

Thanks once again, all of you too.

TTYL, xx

Sorry that it took so long guys. Heartbreak, Stress and Life in general got in the way of my inspiration. As Music is the key to my Creative Process, it was hard to get going again when I had disconnected my stereo system and couldn't be bothered connecting it back up to my computer :P Anyway, I promise that I'll get better with the speed of updates. Thanks, I love you all! :-)

Part VI

‘No, No, Please No! NOT HIM!?’ I over-dramatized. I was sitting on the sofa. Pretending to be in full Greta Garbo mode, might I add, with the back of the hand on the forehead, the tear-stained Marabou nightgown donned and the alcohol in hand. ‘Oh, stop...’ he said, in between his paroxysms of giggles at my faked reaction. ‘My brother isn’t THAT bad, nor are my parents for that matter.’ I sobered up and returned to my serious mode. ‘They hate me. They hate me because I made you wait for so long, and I’ll never stop feeling guilty for that.’ I said. He pulled me in so my head was resting against his chest. ‘What do you say we go and get more booze?’ I let out a long, exaggerated grunt and we stood. I walked into my closet and put on my formal attire, the same outfit I’d worn to the march.

‘You look, ravishing.’ He said. I handed him the tee shirt that he’d hung on a spare hanger on the empty shelf and he began put it on. I stopped him halfway, kissed down his arm and nuzzled into his arm. He moaned. ‘A taster, of what I have in store...for later.’ I danced out of the way when he tried to reciprocate. ‘You’re a tease...’ He said, grabbing his bag and walking back into the closet with me. ‘Wait, why are we back in here?’ He asked, finally muddled. ‘Close your eyes, no cheating!’ I said. He obeyed, shutting them tight and placing his hands over them. I blindfolded him anyway to make sure. I then frogmarched him down the nearest corridor. ‘Why is there a ramp?’ He asked, sounding slightly frustrated. I didn’t answer, I just kept guiding him. We continued walking down the slope for about a minute before I exited through another door akin to my entrance-way one.

I pulled the blindfold off. ‘Okay...open!’ I said. We were in the outbuilding that i’d remodeled into a garage. He walked around dazed. ‘Pick one.’ I said, leaning against the wall that we’d just walked through. ‘Why?’ He asked, looking back at me. I rolled my eyes. ‘You’re the love of my life. You really think I’m going to let you roll in that Toyota of yours?’ I stated waving my hand in front of his face. He grinned, and turned back to the selection of cars. ‘I pick this one!’ He said pointing to the best of the three, a bright red Ferrari in the eastern corner. ‘How did I know?’ I asked, poking my tongue at him. I threw the key to him, he caught it. He inserted the key and opened the door. We got in, myself as the passenger. ‘No way, I’m out of here.’

I got back out of the car and he was walking around to my side. ‘You drive. Teach me.’ He said. I chuckled and hopped to the driver’s seat. I inputted the directions into the GPS and we began our drive. ‘I had no idea you had any of this here!’ He burst out suddenly, making me laugh. ‘I had to keep some surprises for when you moved in, babe’ I said, waggling my finger in his direction, eyes glued to the highway sprawling out in front of me.

‘I’m glad we’re doing this. I haven’t been home in the longest time. They miss me.’ He said. I shook my head, angry for the first time since I’d told him all those years ago that I never returned the feelings he had for me. ‘You moved here...and you’ve never been back to see your family? All to stay with me?’ I asked coolly. He flinched back from the disappointment in my eyes and tone. ‘Yeah...kinda’. Uni too, but not much, then Work...but you, were the main factor.’ He admitted. He wilted under my penetrating stare. ‘So I AM right, they do hate me. But not for the reasons I assumed.’ I said, the anger abating some. ‘Yes...but it’s petulant hate. Once they meet you, I’m sure they’ll..’ He was cut off by my reply. ‘Do not say that they’ll love me. I will do my utmost to not hurt you again and only until I prove it to them, will I stop you saying those words. Sorry, but that is how I feel.’ I said, completely calm, but still forthright.

The drive to the city of Sydney was long, but the bonus was that we got to see everything on our way. I always preferred driving over flying when I was going between states and capital cities here in Australia. The view was better than clouds and more clouds for just over an hour while in a plane. Tom was asleep with his hand on my thigh by the time we made it just over half way and crossed over into New South Wales from Victoria. I pulled over into the parking lot of a roadside hotel and carried him to the room I booked. I slept on the floor. I felt sick, sick to my core from the way I spoke to him in the car. We awoke at about four in the morning, Tom calling out for me. I ignored him. I tensed when I felt his body curl up next to me in the sleeping bag. I eventually fell asleep with his arms around me.

I awoke to Tom stroking my face. ‘Morning.’ I said, stifling a yawn. ‘I don’t mind, I understand why you did it. I love you.’ He said, nuzzling in. ‘I still feel guilty. Now we better get to Sydney today, I want to shop.’ I said, winking. We got up, checked out and got back into the car. The garage owner was sad to see it go. I checked the odometer, he hadn’t joyridden.

We exited onto the highway and began our drive father north. I shook Tom awake when we were passing Kingsford-Smith Airport at Botany Bay, meaning we were getting very close. We entered onto the M4 and drove along through suburbs of Sydney before we got into the CBD overlooking Sydney Harbour. This harbour had to be the most beautiful sight in all Australia, with the Opera House on one side, and the iconic bridge on the other. We drove in and continued downhill further inland before we found our Hotel.

‘This is nice!’ Tom exclaimed when we entered our room. We crashed on the beds. ‘Cheers to being out of the fucking car!’ I said in a sarcastic tone, then we fist-bumped as a toast. I yanked my phone from my pocket and dialed the number Tom was now scrawling on a napkin for me.

TTYL, xx

Momoman,
Good to hear from you! Sorry Heartbreak got in your way. Life is Life, and does get in the way of idle pasttimes, but it doesn't need to be anguishing. I hope things are getting better for you.

An intriguing chapter. Your main character (Ben?!) in both this and the previous stories certainly appears to be successful and living the life above and beyond Riley.

Cruising the Outback desert? in a Ferrari? Or, is the land between the two metro areas more developed?

Looking forward to your next installment.
:wave: (*8*)
 
It's more developed. An Interstate Highway for one, it's the Princes, I think or the Hume, anyway there definitely is one. There are towns and more towns, suburbs and more suburbs dotted along the way. Australia's coast isn't as empty as people may think ;) Go about 100 kilometres north from Adelaide and you hit the central "nothingness" that we're so famous for :P

Sydney is 880.8KM away from my front door, so yeah, long drive. That's over 500 MI. :)

Thanks Don, yeah Heartbreak sucks, I'm getting over it, slowly. It'll be hard, but then again, what isn't? Yeah, the main character is successful, a business entrepreneur. Things are "going to" get rougher in this story, more emotional, more broken. Nothing to do with any relationship, so I'm not giving anything away. I'm a dark guy when I need to be :)

Stay Tuned.

momoman.
 
Good morning, Momoman
(or night! in your case - is it pushing 10PM or Midnight your time?)

500mi is about the distance to my grandparents - driven that MANY times over the years.

I wasn't sure if your described drive was all coastal or cut cross country.

Happy Saturday to you!
Time to head off - The wheels on the bus go round and round - and I'm the "bus driver".
Take care.
 
Hey guys, new part. I hope you all like it, and I'm sorry it took so long to get out, but it's here. And I promise that I will release more quicker!! :) M.

Part VII

Meeting Tom’s family was something I had NEVER wanted to do. I was terrified of his brother after that time he’d suspended me from the ground and slammed me against the wall of their bungalow in country Melbourne, where he’d been visiting Tom at the time. Of course, I deserved it, I’m in denying that. It was just after I’d told Tom that I had no romantic feelings for him at all. Dave had been furious.

It was with some trepidation that I had opened the door to the hotel room that Dave had confessed he was behind. But, instead of being hit, or thrown a good distance, he’d embraced me. Even these hours later while lying next to Tom in bed, I’m still shocked. ‘I’m so happy for the two of you. I knew, I always knew...’ As soon as Dave had said those words, he burst into tears, shocking me still further. I’d slipped out from under his crushing arms and embraced him lightly back, then moved to stand with Tom, holding his hand. His mother, standing there speechless, staring into the eyes of her son that she hadn’t seen for who-knows-how-long moved to appraise the both of us. It was one of those times that you couldn’t help but stare, even though you knew you shouldn’t. After a good few minutes she turned that same, burning gaze onto myself. In-amongst embracing me harder than even Tom had in our entire friendship, she’d given her blessing for Tom and I to be together.

It was at that moment, that I began to cry. I looked over at Tom, who saw I was crying, then began himself. All four of us were now doing it. We seemed to notice this and we all stopped out of pure embarrassment. I smiled to myself at the memories of this evening, and I looked at my future husband sleeping next to me, holding my hand in his sleep. I kissed his forehead, then turned to face him on the pillows and let my eyelids fall shut.

~ December 14, 2021 - 8:03AM ~

I awoke when my hand hit the coldish but warm side of the bed where Tom had been sleeping. He was flitting around the hotel room holding various items of various edibility in his arms. ‘...Morning, honey?’ I asked him. He jumped about three feet in the air, I instantly felt bad. ‘Sorry I scared you....What are you doing!?’ I asked, feeling that same sense of shock flowing back from the night before. He scowled. ‘I was GOING to make us breakfast, but I woke you up.’ I smiled, then got out of bed. I walked over to him and used my two pointer-fingers to make his scowl, a smile. He chuckled despite himself then he shook his head. I was thoroughly confused. ‘..Wha..’ I went to ask him, but he cut me off. ‘I’ll....be back in a minute!’ He chimed, letting the hotel room door close behind him. In my immediate boredom, which was undoubtedly caused by being unable to stare at Tom, I set about tidying up the hotel room. We were checking out this morning, and heading back to Melbourne, so it was fitting that I returned the room back to what it was when we first walked in. Twenty minutes later, and the room was no longer a bomb site, which cheered me up greatly. Just as I sat down in the chair at the desk against the wall, there was a knock at the door, followed by his voice. ‘House Keeping!’

I opened the door, chuckling heartily at his terrible impersonation of a house keeper. ‘You’ll be proud of me!’ He began, and I cocked my head to the side, a smile playing around my lips. ‘I made our favourite!’ He then declared, looking incredibly pleased with himself. And I won’t deny, it was delicious. Once finished, we made out, then returned the dishes to the shared kitchenette that was located two floors below. We walked back to the room holding hands, retrieved our luggage, then checked out. As we got into the car and drove off, Tom fiddled with the radio and managed to get some kind of news channel. I wasn’t paying the slightest bit of attention until I heard the words ‘World’ ‘Market’ and ‘Crash’ in quick succession, almost as though they were in a sentence. I cranked the volume knob up to audible and listened carefully, with a grim expression on my face.

‘What’s wrong beautiful?’ Tom asked me. ‘Well, let’s just say we’re going to be strapped for cash for an undetermined period of time.’ He didn’t get it, so I pointed at the radio before turning it to ‘Loud’. “...Wall Street showed record drops in nearly every key company. We are now, officially in a world wide depression.”

We drove ahead, in silence.

TTYL, xx

Hi, Ben.
Good to see you posting another chapter.
And an interesting one it is, too.

A great, loving reunion with Tom's family after such a long hiatus, to be more than pleasantly surprised.

A fun morning after a great weekend MANY years later, followed by more than a bit of doom and gloom.

Looking forward to where you head.

Take care, sir.
Thanks for remembering us.
:wave: (*8*) :D
 
Hey guys. Sorry it's been a while, but I now officially have an Ex-Boyfriend. It lasted only about a month, but he was coming on so fast and strong that it made me backpedal faster than I have ever before. We ended it mutually, but it still hurt. So, I wrote through the pain - albeit only being very light 'pain' - and the end-product is this :) I hope all my readers (if there are any) are doing well! <3 Anyway, here we go;


Part VIII

[Tom]
‘My god, the man has been on the phone for more than three hours now.’ I thought to myself, watching my boyfriend pacing back and forth around the house, talking so fast, using such long words, that I had difficulty just picking up the ‘and’ and ‘but’ counterparts to the conversations. I gathered after a while that he was speaking to investors, banks and the likes, to make sure that his money was perfectly safe. I put my hand on his arm when he sat down and he softened slightly. He gave me one, fleetingly loving look before it was replaced with utter terror. I gulped and decided to lope around the place and maybe go climb into bed. I was tired after all.

[Me]

‘Good, that’s excellent news, but sell off the one we discussed before’. I was talking to the man in the middle, as we could call him. He was in charge of selling and buying my shares, it was all legit. I can just never remember his occupation title. I chuckled to myself internally. I saw then, Tom standing and walking the nearby staircase to my bedroom. I guessed he was going to bed. ‘Gerry, sorry I have to go. Will you be able to take care of all that for me?’ I chuckled. ‘I know, silly question. Ciao.’ I clicked the phone shut with my forefinger and thumb, then followed up the stairs after my love.

[Tom]

I was lying in his bed, smelling his pillow and getting all excited over his scent. I mentally kicked myself. The love of my life, after today, was not going to be in the mood for sex. I heard him coming up the stairs. Bracing in advance for his pacing, he walked in without a phone. I grinned and then laid on the pillow, a red tinge appearing on my cheeks despite how much I didn’t want it to. He chuckled. ‘You don’t have to be embarrassed. I do it when you’re not there.’

I was red as a beet. ‘Seriously!?’ I blustered, letting out a gush of air. He chucked yet again. ‘Of course. By the way, I have something for you.’ He raised his eyebrows and eyed me pensively. ‘It’s not a phone is it?’ I asked. He shook his head, mute. Still eyeing me as though he expected odd medical symptoms to start manifesting themselves at any second, he reached into his back pocket and pulled out something small enough to fit in his balled up fist. ‘Please don’t ruin this for me...’ He began. I had no idea what was happening so I mutely shook my head. ‘But...When I told you I wanted you. I meant that for better or worse. And, I’m afraid, at the moment it appears to be the latter...’ He was rambling. ‘Just tell me’. I said.

[Me]

I gulped. I opened my hand and held the ring in between two fingers. ‘Marry me?’ I asked. I was close to falling over. Tom’s arms sprang around me, pulling me into his vast chest. ‘Really?’ I asked, bemused. ‘Like you even needed to ask.’ He said this while smiling. I was suddenly overcome with several different emotions, all of which turned me to unresponsive stone, with a rather passionate look frozen upon my face. ‘Are you okay?’

I unfroze, thinking it had only been several seconds, but learning it had been several minutes by glancing at the clock. I started to gently sob with happiness, and I pulled him in even tighter. The motion of my light heaving sobs and our closeness did interesting things to the ways our bodies were connected. Ending that moment quite effectively.

The morning came, and with it, Tom asking me to finally learn about my work as an entrepreneur. You see, I was a software developer. I started out at age 14, and worked my way up with self-taught experience, then eventually a master’s degree from University. But in my spare time, I studied all kinds of random animals from around the world. I took Tom into my ‘Den’ first off, showed him exactly what I did and how I did it, I even let him have a go at making his own program. It turned out pretty well until “FATAL ERROR” appeared on the screen. I laughed.

Next, I showed him several of the animals I kept in one of the outbuildings. I taught him how to tell if the Treasonous - a word meaning ‘Lying’ and ‘Untruthful’ - Python was in a grumpy mood and best left alone, how to handle the Duplicitous - here meaning ‘Treacherous’ - Toad so it didn’t randomly mug him before making a getaway to a random corner of the cage.

I was thrilled that Tom seemed as interested in my hobbies, as I did his. I loved him so much, more than anything. Unfortunately, this love would be put to the test far too soon.

Much love and care,
TTYL, xx.

Interesting installment... Looking forward to more soon!
 
Hi, Ben.
Sorry your relationship didn't mesh quite right. I'm glad you both realized it before you got too hurt.

On to the story . . .

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMfrLFirGWc[/ame]

LOL.

For Better or Worse, in Sickness and Health, Forsaking ALL Others, Till Death Do Us Part . . .

Powerful words, demanding a strong commitment.
That's one of the things I like about you, Ben, is your eternal optimism.
Your characters face adversity, but they fight to stick together.
