Chapter 6: Reunited
Well, July is here and my birthday is coming up in 20 days and Josh's birthday is the 21st. We are like twins and it's crazy that we were born a few hours apart. We thought about doing a joint birthday party but I need to confirm that with the parents first. I haven't grasped the fact that I'm about to be an adult! Turning 18 is a weird feeling and I feel like I'm getting much older now and my life is going to change soon. I haven't had time to chill with Conner since our family dinner a few weeks ago, but I sure would like to see him again.
Practice has been great and I feel myself getting faster and stronger each day. Coach Wilson finally came back from surgery and is recovering. He's at practice with us but he's not doing much or a lot of work just yet. We are still fortunate to have Coach Jay with us and I think he may come on as a permanent assistant coach if Coach Wilson can get the school to approve and hire him full-time. I'm sure Coach Jay would love that and he can finish up his degree while doing so.
Whistle blows
"Boys and girls line up, Coach Wilson wants to say something to you all," said Coach Jay.
"Yall have made me very happy while I was away and I thank you all for working with Coach Jay as my replacement during my surgery. He's told me nothing but great things from you all and I appreciate you all sticking to the plan and cooperating." Coach Wilson said.
"We got you Coach, glad you're back," said Josh.
Coach Wilson was getting emotional and looked like he was going to shed a tear. I hope we keep Coach Jay this season personally.
"Coach Jay, thank you for working with my boys and girls and making sure we stayed in practice while I was out. Training is one of the most important things and we needed someone as solid as you on the field with them." Coach Wilson said.
He's solid alright, I can't wait to have some one-on-one time with Coach Jay. We spent a good part of June together working in groups but I know when the season starts and we travel, he's going to be everywhere with us.
"YO bro, what's the plans for the birthday? Asked Josh.
"I don't know brother, you tell me?" I said.
"We need to plan something together because this is a big milestone birthday for us." "Has your mom or sister mentioned anything about a party for you?" I asked.
"Fuck no, you know we can't afford no party, and nobody's coming to the hood to celebrate either," Josh said.
"Well, bro why don't we have a joint birthday party at my house or somewhere close by? We can invite the entire track team and Coaches and a few of our friends and family." I said.
"Now that sounds like a great idea," said Josh.
"I'll talk things over with the parents and get back to you," I said.
Mom picked me up today from practice this time. Normally it's Dad, but he got paged into the hospital and has to work a few more hours.
"How was practice today?" mom asked.
"It was great, Coach Wilson is back and he gave an emotional speech about us doing good this Summer and that he was proud of Coach Jay for stepping up and helping out," I said.
"Your birthday is coming up, have you been thinking of what you want to do for the BIG 18?" Mom asked.
"Well, I was just talking with Josh and both of our birthdays fall right next to each other. He wants to do a party but mentioned that he really can't afford one." "I was thinking if we are celebrating him, can we celebrate me too?" I said.
"My baby boy, you are so thoughtful, but that's going to be an extra cost and you know how your father is when it comes to spending money." Mom said.
"Let me think it over with him and we will talk about it soon." Mom said.
I need to get my list of invites together and see what I want to do for the bday. I wish Dad could get Drake to fly in and perform for us. I'm sure that would be more than $100,000 and he would probably laugh in my face if I even mentioned it. I couldn't imagine Dad dropping $100k on me like that, although there's no doubt in my mind that we have the money. I know my parents are filthy loaded but they live so modest and you wouldn't even know. I accidentally peeped at Dad's bank statement in his office and saw a lot of zeros on the bank slip balance. When I removed the paperback and picked it up, it showed in one account over one million dollars! That's just his personal account not including my mother's who's been saving money since Jasmine and I were babies. My family is well off and I'm hoping for the birthday, that they let me start driving one of their cars.
We arrived home and I jumped in the shower and took my time washing up and it felt so good.
KNOCK KNOCK
"Alex, I can't find my iPhone charger, do you have an extra one I can use? Said Jasmine.
"Umm hey sis, I'm still in the shower, but you can look in my desk drawer and there should be an extra one in there. I said.
My sister made her way over to my desk and started searching for the charger but didn't see it. She started opening up all of my drawers and stumbled upon my journal. I turned off the shower, grabbed my towel, and proceeded to walk out of the bathroom. Now usually my sister is good about privacy and not invading my things but for some odd reason, she decided to open up my journal and start reading a few of my entries.
"Heyyy did you find the charger?" I asked.
"What are you doing?" I frantically questioned.
"So when were you going to tell me you had a crush on the track coach at Overton? " said Jasmine.
"What the fuck Jasmine, you're reading my journal? I asked.
"It was just too good to put it down and not read it."
"I can't believe you!" I yelled.
I've never yelled or raised my voice at my sister but what she did made me upset. I have a lot of personal things in my journal that I write down and I wasn't expecting her to read my most private and intimate thoughts. I snatched the journal from her and told her to get out of my room. Jasmine took off and I slammed the door behind her.
"FUCK!!" I said.
I hurried up and put on some clothes and lightly knocked on her door. Jasmine was lying on her bed and seemed sad. I asked if I could come in and she let me sit on the bed with her. I explained that it's important not to go through people's things and to respect their privacy. I also told her that I was going through some personal things and trying to figure them out.
"You're supposed to be my best friend Alex, and you can tell me anything." "I know I shouldn't have read your journal but you've been acting weird to me and we haven't been talking like we used to," Jasmine said.
"Look, I'm still trying to figure them out, so there are things that I just don't have the answer to and you're going to have to be patient with me and keep this between us," I said.
"Are you gay? Jasmine said.
"I don't know Jasmine, I'm trying to figure that out and I keep having these strange feelings and weird encounters," I said.
"You can tell me anything and I promise to keep it between us." said Jasmine.
"Well, I appreciate that and when I get ready to talk to you, you will be the first person I tell." "I promise." "But in the meantime, stop going through my shit little girl or I'm going to tickle you and fold you in the laundry basket and send you down the stairs," I said.
I grabbed baby sis and tickled her and picked her up and playfully slammed her on the bed. She laughed uncontrollably and we both flopped on her bed laughing. By this time mom had come up the stairs and into the room.
"You two haven't played like that in years." "Dinner is almost ready and your father should be home shortly." Mom said.
We all gathered around the dining room table and ate a big meal that night. Mom made her famous chicken pasta with broccoli and homemade Italian bread. After dinner, Jasmine and I were on clean-up duty and Mom and Dad went upstairs to get ready for bed.
"Heyy, I got the rest of the kitchen Jas, you can go to bed." "Have a good night," I said.
"Thank goodness, goodnight Alex," she said.
I stayed in the kitchen for about another 30 minutes cleaning up everything and made my way upstairs and into my room. As I get ready to lay down my phone starts buzzing on my nightstand. I looked over and saw that I had a Facebook friend request from Conner Smith. I accepted the request and to my surprise, I got a message immediately after.
Conner: Hey man, what are you up to?
Alex: Hey Conner, headed to bed soon. I have track practice in the morning. What's up?
Conner: Well I was wondering if you wanted to talk a bit and meet me at Eastland Park.
Alex: I don't know, it's getting kinda late and why do you want to meet at the park?
Conner: I figured I owe you an explanation about what happened a few weeks ago and maybe we can get a fresh start.
Alex: I don't have a car Conner and my parents are asleep.
Conner: I can pick you up at your place.
Alex: Yeah and what am I going to tell my parents when you pull in the driveway and besides, you can't get into our neighborhood without a pass or permission from the guard at the gate.
Conner: Well meet me at your gate and I'll come and scoop you.
Alex: Okay, give me like 30 minutes and I'll make my way to the gate.
Normally I wouldn't even entertain anything like this because this seems to be some sketchy shit and I don't want to get caught up in any more of Conner's mess. He almost got us caught at Melissa's house and who knows what he has up his sleeve this time. I also want to see him because it's been a while since I laid eyes on him and I would love to know about his sexuality too. Maybe I can sneak out the back and make my way down to the gate and get out. I was thinking of different ways to pull this off without drawing much attention to myself.
I put on my shorts and t-shirt and snuck out the back and made my way down the street of the neighborhood. I started lightly jogging and finally approached the gate and Conner was parked in one of the designated parking spots. He had a black BMW 3 series with dark tint and I hopped in. My heart was racing because I haven't done anything like this and I damn sure don't want to get caught sneaking out of the house and losing my parents' trust this Summer.
"I see you made it," Conner said.
"Yep," I replied.
"So what is it that you desperately want to talk about?" I asked.
"Let's go for a ride man," Conner said.
Conner backed out of the parking spot and proceeded down the street and hit the interstate. He was quiet and didn't say much and after about 10 minutes of silence, I asked him where we were going.
"We are going to my parents' private gym. I have the keys." Conner stated.
"Excuse me?" I said.
"Yeah, I figured going to a park at night might be a little risky and there are cops all over Eastland Park."
I thought to myself, is this motherfucker about to kill me or something. What is the big secret and why is he being so quiet? Conner smelled so good and had on a pair of sweatpants and an old beat-up wrestling t-shirt.
"I'm not in a working out mode and I just ate dinner," I said.
We arrived at the gym and Conner and I made our way to the entrance of the building and he opened the doors. As he turns on the lights I see a massive gym with lifting equipment and dumbbells all over the place. There were several treadmills, elliptical machines, and plenty of workout stations. We start to make our way down a hallway and Conner flicks a light on in this particular room and to my surprise it's a large room with a huge wrestling mat.
"So your family owns a private gym and they just have a wrestling mat in here?" I asked.
"Yes, I come from a family full of wrestlers and my dad and grandfather decided to buy a gym and renovate one of the rooms and turn it into a practice area for me and my friends. We use this during the off-season and I like coming here when I want to get away from everything." Conner said.
"Talk about privilege!" I whispered.
"What's that?" Conner replied.
"Nothing, man no wonder you're so good. You have your own gym and wrestling studio." I said.
"I wanted to show you how we get down on the mat," Conner said.
"Well I don't know anything about wrestling dude, so you got me on that," I said.
"Nonsense, wrestling is the oldest sport known to man and it's a gentleman's sport," Conner said.
We got to the center of the mat and Conner started showing me some techniques and eventually grabbed me by my waist, picked me up, and pulled me down on the mat. I wasn't expecting anything but I wasn't going to back down and not take a challenge. I'm an athlete too and he wasn't going to show me up. We started tussling and pulling each other and next thing you know we are rumbling all over the mat with one another. Our breaths were matching each other and we started to sweat.
Conner was showing me certain positions and told me to get on all fours. As I switched positions and got on my knees, he came up from behind. I could feel his dick through his sweatpants up against my butt. I backed off and maneuvered to another position and was able to grab him and flip him over. He was shocked that I caught on so quickly to the moves of wrestling.
He ended up pinning me down and I immediately got hard and stood up.
"What's wrong bro?" "Can't take the heat?" Conner said.
"Yeah I can, but I'm exhausted!" I said.
This was my excuse because I didn't want Conner to see that I had a hard one. Without hesitation, Conner crawled over to me on his knees and pulled my pants down and opened his mouth, and stuck my dick as far down his throat as he could.
"Now I want you to cum for me." He said.
"OMG!!!" That....That feels soooo damn good dude." I said.
My eyes were rolling in the back of my head and I eased my way down to the mat and Conner went to work. He was sucking so good and it was wet and sloppy. I was breathing so heavily and couldn't control myself. Conner looked up at me and was looking me in my eyes while my dick was in his mouth and that turned me on so much. He started sucking harder and harder and next thing you know my legs were shaking.
"I'mmm about to cummm man," I said.
Conner kept sucking and next thing you know I explode all in Conner's mouth and he swallows every last drop. He left me there damn near lifeless and I couldn't move. After about a few minutes of just laying down, I finally sit up and Conner cleans his mouth and lips from my cum and says....
"How was that?"
"Where did you learn to do that?" I said in amazement.
"I've had my fair share of messing around with a few boys on the swim team and a couple on the wrestling team." "Being at an all-boys school you see so much cock in the locker rooms and there's bound to be at least one curious boy on the team."
"But what about Melissa?" I said.
"What about her?" Conner said.
"This is what I wanted to talk to you about." "I"m so confused because you have a girlfriend but you're a cocksucker and there's no telling what else you're doing," I said.
"Look dude, I like what I like and I'm discovering myself every day and my sexuality is fluid and I like pussy one day and maybe want to suck a cock the next." "It changes!"
"Fluid," I said.
I had no idea what Conner was talking about but he seemed to be happy. I asked him if he was bi-sexual and he said kinda.
"Have you had sex with a girl?" I asked.
"Of course I have." "I've also had sex with a guy as well," Conner said.
"You mean like with penetration?" I asked.
"Yes." Conner laughed.
"I make sure I'm safe and always wear protection." "Plus, I'm not doing it all the time and I have my urges when I'm in the mood," Conner said.
Conner opened my eyes to a whole new world tonight. I don't know if I like what I'm getting into or am I bi-sexual too? I've made out with a few girls and fingered a couple but I have never gone as far as penetration or mess with a guy. I'm glad we finally got a chance to talk for a bit and finished our unfinished business from Melissa's party. Although I felt bad because he has a girlfriend and I think this is considered cheating.
"Do you love Melissa?" I asked.
"I like being with her but I don't love her." "She's planning on going off to college at NYU and I'm not going to stick around and wait on her." "We shall see how the upcoming year unfolds," Conner said.
"So why have a girlfriend if you like being with men?" I asked.
"She's my coverup!" "She's a good trophy girlfriend and pretty." "It keeps my family happy knowing that I have a girlfriend and that the boys at school don't think I'm gay," Conner said.
"Come on, let's get you back home, it's getting late and you need rest," said Conner.
I pulled up my shorts and we cleaned up the mat and turned off the lights and Conner locked up the gym.
"Are there cameras around here?" I asked.
"Only in the front of the building, nothing on the inside," Conner stated.
Whew because that would be bad if someone was watching us on camera and we were exposed.
"Come on, you don't think I would be that stupid do you?" Conner said.
"I don't know, you sucked my dick at your girls' party and that was kinda stupid," I said.
We both laughed and got into the car. We talked on the way back to my house about random shit and how he's looking forward to going to Georgetown next year. I told him that I was still undecided and hadn't made up my mind if I wanted to stay in Florida or not. I'm glad I got a chance to talk to Conner and I ended up having a "happy ending" too. We made our way back to my neighborhood and I told Conner I would see him later. He leaned over to me and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. His full pink lips met mine and I could have melted in his seat. I got out of the car and jogged back to my house and was smiling the entire way. Could this be the start of a new friendship? I made my way to the backdoor and went into the house and up the stairs to my room.
"Alex!"
"Where have you been?" Dad said.
OH CRAP! I need to come up with a good lie because I'm caught red-handed.
"I was just out for a late jog Dad. I couldn't sleep and I had a few things on my mind." I said.
"We will talk in the morning," Dad said.
I'm so fucking nervous. I hope this doesn't mess up my chance of getting the car this Summer. I need to think of something quick for tomorrow morning.
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ
My alarm goes off and I jump in the shower and clean up from last night. After I put on my sweatpants and shirt I make my way downstairs in the kitchen and Dad is at the island prepping breakfast. He doesn't say much but I know I'm going to get a lecture in the car on the way to practice. After we eat, Dad goes into the garage and starts the car and I head out with him.
"Dad, I'm sorry about last night and I should have mentioned that I was leaving the house," I said.
"I'm not sure what you're doing young man, but you didn't go for a jog last night." "You left the backdoor cracked and you were gone for at least 2 hours," Dad said.
"Dad I did jog but I ended up jogging outside of the neighborhood and ran down the road. I got tired on my way back and just walked home." I said.
"I hope you're not doing any drugs or lying to us." "You've done a great job of keeping your head on your shoulder and I don't need you fucking up your life over a stupid decision," Dad said.
"Understand," Dad said.
"Yes sir!" I said.
"I'll be taking you to practice until further notice for the rest of the Summer."
"Your birthday is coming up in a few weeks and your mom and I have been planning a few things for you but I don't know how that's going to go."
Dad was mad and I could tell he was angry with me. I couldn't tell him where I was last night or that would have been permanent punishment all year. I got to practice and was dragging my ass in all the drills. Josh didn't show up because he was out sick for the week and I was by myself. I took this time during my break to call Josh and check in on him. Turns out he's feeling a lot better and has a stomach virus. He mentioned that my mother and his mom had been talking and it looks like we are going to have a joint birthday celebration at my house! I was so excited to hear that and I'm glad they agreed on it. Until then, it's back to the track and gym.
