Disclaimer: This is just a story. And it's about a Marine - actually several Marines. None of them are real one, of course. Kind of a melding of a lot of Marine's I've had the honor to have known in my life. Any resemblance to any actual Marine is purely coincidence - but if there is, I do wish he'd write me! Anyway, you know the drill, if you don't like sex between males, what are you doing here? And if your Country, State, Province, City, Town or Village won't let you read this kind of stuff - MOVE!!! Somewhere where you can!
Oh, one more thing. This story is dedicated to my friend PUP, who just LOVES Marines and stories about them. I hope he loves this one. And I kind of hope it would come true for him.
THE MARINE NEXT DOOR - Part 5 by RimPig (c) 2002
When I opened the door, I didn't see Mom at all.
"Mom, I'm home! I've got Ty with me!" I called out.
"I'll be right out, Brian. There's coffee on the counter. Offer some to your friend." Mom called out from her bedroom.
"I could almost hear here say 'little friend', like she did when I was a kid!" I quietly giggled to Ty.
"I could use a cup of coffee." he said, his voice tense.
"You seem nervous." I said, wondering what was going on.
"Of course I'm fucking nervous!" Ty whispered. "If she doesn't like me, she's never going to let us spend time together and then where will we be?"
"Ty, please, don't worry! Mom will love you - I promise!" I said, touching his shoulder and giving him a smile.
He tried to smile back and put his hand over mine. I gave him a quick peck on the cheek and went and got us both a cup of coffee.
"Bri, what the fuck should I call her? What the fuck's you're last name, anyway?!" he whispered desperately.
I could almost laugh, he was so cute when he was nervous, but I figured he would probably not appreciate any laughter at that point.
"Connors. Just call her Mrs. Connors." I whispered.
We sat down at the kitchen table and waited for my Mom. Finally she came out of the bedroom, dressed for work in her whites.
"Hello, you have to be Ty." she said, reaching out her hand to him.
"I'm glad to meet you Mrs. Connors." Ty said, giving her one of his most brilliant smiles. I'm surprised she was left standing!
"Please, call me Beverly! There's no need to be so formal." she said, taking a seat.
Ty, who had stood the second she entered the room, sat down as well. I watched the interplay between them. I could see that Mom definitely noticed how attractive Ty was. Ty on the other hand, was covering his nervousness pretty well, except for those little beads of sweat on his upper lip which I could see.
"You know my father was in the Marines. He was a Lt. Colonel. He was killed in Viet Nam when I was a little girl." Mom said.
"So Brian was telling me. I'm very sorry for your loss, ma'am." Ty said.
"Oh, please, Ty! Don't call me ma'am. You make me feel so old!" Mom giggled.
I'd never seen her like this before. She was almost being flirtatious with Ty! It was almost embarrassing except it was so funny. Mom, at least, hasn't figured out yet that she's barking up the wrong tree with Ty. It wasn't girls he liked.
"I must say, Ty, I'm very happy you guys moved in next door. The previous tenants were a disaster! They fought all the time! The noise kept Brian awake at night." Mom said.
"Well, I promise, with having to be up at 5:00 am to make it back to base, I won't be keeping Brian up too late." Ty said and then smiled at me.
I almost choked on my coffee! No, he wouldn't be keeping me up too late, but he's not about to tell Mom how he's going to keep me 'up' late!
"And I haven't seen Brian this happy in a very long time. He's been very lonely here since we moved. He seems to have really brightened up since you all have moved in." Mom said.
"You have a wonderful son. He is a very caring and loving person. It's a nice change from being around other Marines all the time." Ty said, again smiling at me. But this smile was different. This one was filled with love. I only hoped Mom didn't catch it.
"I guess he's quite a bit younger than the rest of you?" Mom asked.
"No, not really. Brian's almost 19. My buddy Tim is only 20, Domingo is 21 and I'm 22. So there's only about three years between Brian and me. That's not much in the way of age difference." Ty said.
"No, I guess it isn't after all." Mom said.
At this point, I excused myself to go and start getting dinner ready. Mom and Ty continued to talk for a while. Ty told Mom about growing up on a farm and how he'd joined the Marines to get out of a small town and see something of the world. Ty finally excused himself, saying he had some things to take care of. I told him I'd call him when dinner was ready.
After he'd gone, Mom and I discussed him.
"Well, Brian, I must say, you have excellent taste in friends! Ty seems like a really nice young man." Mom said.
"I think so!" I said. I wondered if she thought I had such good taste in 'husbands'.
"I'm glad you finally have some friends of your own. I won't worry so much about leaving you alone." she said.
"Mom, I'm ok. I can fend for myself all right." I said.
"Well, be that as it may, it isn't good to spend all your time alone." she replied.
"I guess." I said.
I returned to fixing dinner. I knew I wouldn't be spending all my time alone. I would only be spending time that I wasn't with Ty alone. That prospect was a very warming one to me.
Dinner was ready and I called Ty over. We had dinner and Mom told Ty some of what she knew about her father's life in the Marines. Ty told her about some of his experiences overseas in Japan and the Philippines. I hadn't even known he'd gone there. Seems there were a lot of things that Ty and I still needed to learn about each other, but there was plenty of time.
After dinner, Ty helped me clean up and then he and I went over to his apartment and spent time with Tim and Domingo. They wanted to hear all about what had happened with Ty and I the night before and how we had gotten together so fast. We told them a very edited version of the story, keeping much of what had happened between us to ourselves. Then the four of us played spades for a while. Before I knew it, Mom called on Ty's cell phone to let me know she was leaving for work. Ty and I went back to my apartment to see her off and then spent time alone together.
Of course, what was on Ty's mind was Mom's reaction.
"So what did she say about me?" Ty asked.
"She was very impressed with you! I told you she would be. There was no reason to be nervous." I told him.
"Well...I didn't want anything to make things difficult for us. We have enough difficulty that we'll have to face as it is." Ty said.
"What do you mean? What difficulties?" I asked.
"Bri, there's a lot about being in a relationship with another guy that you don't understand yet. You know about having to hide the fact that you're Gay. We all learn that very quickly. But it becomes doubly important when you're in a relationship. You know that if the Corps suspected anything about us, I'd be kicked out with a dishonorable discharge. And faster than you could say 'Semper Fi'." he said.
I could see that this was a real worry to him.
"Do you think something like that is going to happen?" I asked him.
"There's been 'witch hunts' since I've been in the Corps. I knew of one guy who not only thrown out, he was forced to name other guys who he knew were Gay first. They told him if they gave him names, he would get a general discharge. They lied. He gave them the names of 4 other guys and they were all given dishonorable discharges! That's the way things are." he said, with anger in his voice.
"But that's not right!" I fumed.
"No, it's not. But that's the way things are. I'm sorry. So you see, we can't ever be seen as anything other than friends. We're safest if we don't go out much together. I'm sorry. You didn't count on this when you got involved with me, but it's the way things have to be." he said, hanging his head in apology.
"Ty," I said, "I don't care about going out. What I care about is you! I'll do anything you say. I don't want to ever do anything to screw up your life."
"But what about your life, Bri!" Ty said, his eyes showing tears.
"You are my life, Ty! Before you came along, I was just existing in a vacuum. There was nothing in my life but loneliness. No one to love and no one to love me. You've changed all that. And besides, I plan to keep you far too busy to go out!" I grinned.
We were laying in bed and I leaned over an locked my lips around one of his nipples and began sucking.
"I never mind being busy like that!" he moaned as I continued my attack on his chest by moving to the other nipple and giving it the same treatment.
"So, you want to get fucked tonight?" I asked, raising my face from his chest and looking him right in the eyes.
He must have seen the lust in mine because he grinned and I could see an answering lust building in his eyes.
"Fuck, yeah! Pound my hole, Bri! I told you I love it when you fuck me!" he all but growled in heat.
I went back to his chest, using my tongue this time and licked down the front of his body, paying attention to all the contours of his musculature. I coated his washboard abs with my tongue, running it down all the grooves as he clenched his muscles at the intimate caress of my wet tongue.
Next, I moved down to his groin. I could smell the musky scent of him. He had showered with me that morning, but now his maleness was apparent in the warmth wafting out of his groin. The scent went straight to my cock and I was not only hard, but dripping pre-cum all over the place. I licked around the base of his cock and then buried my nose and tongue into the apex of Ty's legs, sniffing and licking his hairy balls. Ty was moaning at my attention to them as I tried to lick further south but found I could go no further from that position.
I got up off the bed and approached Ty's body from the foot of the bed. He knew what I was doing and readily turned onto his back and raised his legs for me. He wanted what he knew was coming - my nose and tongue in his ass! And I was not about to disappoint him!
I buried my face in his ass trench and breathed deep of the musk and maleness of this man that I loved. His scent never failed to excite me. I would get lost in it. I began licking deep in his trench, tasting the muskiness of him and the saltiness of the sweat I found there. I approached the soft opening to his body and my tongue began to lick in spirals until it reached the actual hole. My approach had softened the muscles and I no more than gently pressed the tip of my tongue to the hole and it was able to slip inside. I then sucked on his ass lips, drawing them into my mouth while my tongue went deeper and deeper inside his body.
I licked out his hole and deposited as much spit as I could to help to lubricate his opening for my cock. I wanted to fuck him so badly. I was surprised at the level of my desire! Ty had been right. Once I learned what it felt like to stroke my cock in and out of his more than willing hole, I wanted it! I wanted to plant my seed inside his body and mark this ass as mine! I understood Ty completely now because as much as I loved to have him fuck me, I loved fucking him! Somehow, I seemed to draw a certain kind of strength and confidence from being able to pleasure him in this way. I couldn't explain it but I could feel it. And it was a feeling that was seeming to last even when we weren't in bed.
I continued to lick his hole for a long time. Ty's moans of pleasure kept building until he could barely stand it and he begged me to go on to the next level of union.
"Brian! God! Please! Fuck me! I don't want to cum this way! I need to feel that cock of yours in my ass! Please!" he begged and I grinned to myself at the feeling of equality it gave me to know how badly he needed me.
"I gotta get the lube." I said, pulling my face out of his ass.
"No you don't! Just use your spit! I can take it! Just do it now, Brian! Fuck me! Fuck me hard!" he continued to beg.
I rose up on my knees between his legs. He kept his legs pulled back, spreading his ass before me. It was an incredibly beautiful site to see his hard cock and his winking asshole waiting for me to thrust my rod hard into his hole. I pulled back the foreskin on my cock and began milking the pre- cum from my piss-hole onto his willing ass. This would provide added lubrication. I also spit into my hand and began lubing my cock with it. When I was ready, I put my cockhead at the quivering lips of his ass.
I leaned forward on my hands, which I placed beside Ty's ribs so that I could look down at his face as I began slowly but forcefully to shove my cock into his butt. I had done a good job with my rimming him to get his butt relaxed because it took very little pressure and my cockhead was buried in his hole. I could feel his ass muscles tightening and massaging my cock and I nearly lost it right there, but I was able to resist the urge and continued pressing my cock into his body.
I looked down at his face and his eyes locked on mine. I could see the love, the desire and the fuck-heat in them. I knew that Ty was in another place, a place where nothing mattered but his ass and my cock driving into it. He moaned as my cock bore through his inner tissues and bottomed out in him with my balls resting on the base of his spine.
Once I bottomed out in his butt, I leaned forward and pressed my mouth to his in a deep, passionate kiss. His tongue sucked on mine so that he could taste the flavors of his own ass. He moaned with desire for me to pound his ass hard - and I had every intention of doing just that!
I pulled up my head and slowly started to withdraw from his sucking hole as I did so. Ty closed his eyes and began to moan again as he felt my cock moving out of his hole. I didn't go far, just a couple of inches. Then I waited until he looked up, wondering what was going on, and then slammed my cock back in until it was completely buried in his hole.
"Fuck, yeah!" he screamed. "That's the way! Fuck my hole. Pound the shit outa my hole!"
I again withdrew slowly until I was even farther and then stopped again. I felt him tense, he knew what was coming, but I waited just long enough for him to start to relax again, and then pounded back into his hole like a pile driver!
"Fuck!!!" he screamed again.
I continued to do this a few more times, each time pulling my cock farther and farther out of his depths until only my head rested within the grip of his sphincter. And each time I slammed my cock home into his butt with all the strength I had. It was a mean fuck. But it was just what Ty wanted. I could tell from the quivering of his muscles and the copious outpouring of cock-snot from his uncut cock all over his belly.
I finally stopped the unrhythmic fucking of his butt and began stroking with long, deep rhythmic strokes into his butt. I pounded him hard and he took every inch of my thick cock and begged for more! To see this Marine, this fine specimen of manhood, on his back, his legs in the air, begging for my cock to pound his fuck-hole was more than I could take. I gave one last deep shove into his ass and let go with my load. At the same time, Ty's cock rose from his abs and began shooting his white load of hot slime all over his chest without either he or I touching it.
I was lost in the pleasure of his ass muscles gripping my cock as he came, draining my load deep into his butt. I finally stopped cumming and collapsed on him, rubbing my chest in all the sweat, cum and hair on his chest. I rose up a little and began to lick his load from his body, drawing it from the hairs on his chest and further down his abs.
As I licked my way down his body, collecting his cum and sweat, my cock slowly pulled from his hole. By the time it snapped out with a quiet 'pop', I had his legs in the air and I was noisily sucking all my cum from his well used ass.
I don't think Ty could quite understand what came over me. I hardly could myself. I felt that I had really become a man with this fuck. I had serviced my lover well, making him cum but it had been on my terms! I had taken his ass and made it truly mine. And I could see the admiration and love in Ty's eyes as I knelt there, his cum still dripping from my lips that I had just sucked from his butthole.
"Come here and kiss me, lover!" Ty said, a look of hunger still in his eyes.
I lay down full length on him and pushed my mouth against his, giving him a taste of his own cum, ass juice and my mouth. He moaned at the taste and held me tight to him.
"Fuck!" he exclaimed, breaking the kiss. "That was some fuck, guy! You really got into that, didn't you! I don't think I've ever had a more masterful fuck in my life! You can have my hole anytime you want it!" he exclaimed.
"I know that! That ass is mine, now!" I told him.
He looked at me funny for a moment and then began to smile.
"You're fuckin' right, lover! That ass is yours! You earned it tonight!" he said, pulling me back down on top of him.
I knew I now had earned Ty's complete respect as a man. I knew that from now on, this relationship would be equal in a very subtle but needed way. I wasn't a 'boy' to him. I was a man and his equal. It was what I needed to be and what he wanted me to be. But still I wanted him to fuck me as well. It didn't matter anymore who fucked who. We'd work that out. But I still wanted and needed to fall asleep in his arms. I needed to feel his strength and his size surrounding me and to smell his scent. That part of me would probably never get enough. But that was ok as well. So, holding me close to him, Ty and I fell deeply asleep.
That kind of set the pattern for the next few months, except for those nights that Mom didn't go to work. She was working six nights a week, so Ty and I didn't have to spend but one night a week apart, but that night was very hard on both of us. It was hard after being used to being together and then having to be apart. But Ty reminded me that if he got shipped overseas, we could be parted for months! I became afraid of that happening, but didn't know how to say anything to Ty. Finally it was Ty who brought it up one night when we were laying in each other's arms after having made love.
"They've offered me, if I re-enlist, to send me to Germany." Ty announced.
I suddenly felt like my heart had been ripped out! How could I live without him while he went to Germany!
"How soon would you have to leave?" I asked, my voice quaking.
"Never. I told them I wasn't interested. When this enlistment is up, I'm not staying in. I've got six months to go and then I'm getting out." Ty said.
I was at once very relieved and very sad.
"But you love the Marine's, Ty! Why are you getting out?" I asked.
"You know why, Bri." he said, nuzzling my neck.
"Because of me?" I asked quietly.
"No. Because of 'us'." he said emphatically. "I won't leave you. You mean too much to me. I never intended to make the Corps my life. Especially when, if they ever found out about you and me, they'd throw me out without a second thought! No, I don't want to live this way anymore, hiding all the time. I love you, and I don't care who knows it. I want to live with you. Do you understand?" he asked.
"Yes, I do. I love you so much. I don't think I could bear to be away from you. But what are you going to do after you get out?" I asked.
"Tim, Domingo and I have been talking about that. Since we all work in the motor pool and have all had extensive training in mechanics, Tim and Domingo have decided to open a garage with some money that Tim's grandfather left him. I've got some money that I've saved up and I'm going to go in with them. At least for a while. Then maybe I'll go back to school. And you're going to graduate next month, what are you going to do?" he asked.
"Well, I haven't talked to you about it yet, but I have some plans. My mom and I have been talking. I've decided that what I really want to do is to become a nurse, just like her. The hospital offers a scholarship to nursing school through to your RN if you'll come to work for them afterwards for three years. It's a way for them to keep from having a nursing shortage. I will go to school here and do my training in the hospital. What do you think?" I asked.
"I think that's wonderful! It certainly is a profession that would seem to fit you. You know how I'm always telling you how loving and caring you are. Your patients are just going to love you!" he grinned and hugged me.
"I'm glad you're happy with it. It's what I really want. Well...what I want besides being with you! And as a nurse, I'll make enough money that we can afford to send you to school when you're ready to go!" I said.
"You won't mind being married to a 'grease monkey' for a while?" he laughed.
"I wouldn't mind being married to a grease monkey forever, if that grease monkey is you!" I promised.
"Brian, have you told your mother about us yet?" he asked.
"No. I know I should. It just never seems like the right time. I promise I'll do it soon. If we're making these kind of plans, she really should know." I admitted.
"Yes, she really should." Ty said, kissing me lightly on the lips.
I reached around his neck and pulled him to me. I kissed him deeply and passionately. That was the end of talking for that night.
That conversation came back to haunt me the very next day. Mom and I were sitting in the kitchen having coffee after she got off work. I had made breakfast and sent Ty off to work only about an hour earlier.
"I must say," Mom said "I can't believe the changes in you over the last few months."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well, you seemed so lonely and lost. You weren't really interested in much and now you're happy all the time and finally have decided what you want to be. I must say, it's flattering that you want to be a nurse. I was afraid for a while, you'd join the Marines because of Ty!" she laughed.
"No, I never want to join the Corps." I assured her.
"You know, you have been so happy, I could swear that you'd fallen in love! But if you have, you've hidden her very well!" Mom laughed.
For once I didn't laugh with her. Instead, I got very red in the face. I didn't know how to react. Mom noticed though.
"Brian, have you fallen in love?" Mom asked, her voice serious now.
"I...ah...yes, Mom, I have." I admitted.
"Brian! That's wonderful! Who's the lucky girl? When do I get to meet her?" Mom enthused.
I didn't say anything for a long time. I couldn't figure out how to put this to her.
"Brian, is there something you're not telling me?" Mom asked quietly, but her voice was filled with concern. "Brian, you know you can tell me anything."
"I know, Mom. But this is really hard." I said.
"I don't understand, Brian. How could this be hard? You're in love! That's a very happy thing!" Mom said.
"Usually, it is. And, don't get me wrong, I am happy. Very happy! Happier than I've ever been in my whole life. But, Mom...it isn't a girl." I said.
She sat there a moment, staring at me. I think it took her a while to understand what I was saying to her.
"Brian, are you telling me that you're Gay?" Mom asked quietly. There was no shock or judgement in her voice.
"Yes, Mom. I am. For the longest time, I thought my feelings would change. I get interested in girls. But it never happened. And then I fell in love and I knew that, no matter what, this is the way I was meant to be. I can't change it. I only hope you don't hate me for it." I begged and broke down into tears.
At this, Mom stood up and came over to me and put her arms around me.
"Brian, I could never hate you - no matter what! This must have been very difficult for you! I'm sorry! I really had no idea!" she said, hugging me.
I put my head on her arm and got control of myself. Then I sat up again.
"Mom, please sit down. There's a lot more that you need to know." I asked her.
She sat down and looked at me, waiting for me to begin talking.
"Mom, I've been in love for a while now. I never expected it to happen, but it did. I've found someone that I love very deeply and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I love him almost more than life itself. And he feels the same way about me. We want to build a life together. Can you understand that?" I asked.
"Of course I can, sweetie! I had those dreams once myself. I just hope you have better luck with men than I did!" she smiled. "Are you going to tell me who it is, or should I just guess?"
"Mom, you must know who it is." I said.
"My guess would have to be Ty. Right?" she asked.
"Yes, Mom. We fell in love almost the moment we met that first day." I said.
"I'd watched you two together and it seemed like you were in love. I thought, at first, that I was mistaken and put it out of my mind. I told myself that you were just really good friends. I forgot that friendship was the best way to start a relationship." she said.
"Yes, we are friends, but it goes so much deeper than that. I love him in ways I can't even explain."
"Really, you don't have to. I truly do understand. I've been in love myself, remember." She smiled at me and I smiled back, but then I looked away.
"Are you disappointed in me?" I asked quietly.
"No! Why would I be?" Mom asked emphatically.
"Well, there won't be any grandchildren." I said.
"Well, I can make do without those. I just want you to be happy. Does he make you happy, Brian?" she asked.
"I have known more happiness with Ty then I ever thought there was in the entire world, Mom." I swore.
"Then that's the only thing that's important, Brian. All I've ever wanted is for you to be happy. If Ty makes you happy, that's all I want. And he is a very good looking guy!" she laughed.
"Ty is utterly beautiful! But don't ever say that to him! He hates it! He doesn't see how beautiful he his. He keeps telling me that I'm the one who's beautiful!" I told her.
"And he's right, Brian. You are. Oh, not just in looks, though you are a good looking guy! But you are very beautiful inside. You are a very kind and loving person!" she said.
"That's what Ty has been telling me ever since we met! Almost word for word!" I marveled.
"It would seem that Ty is a very perceptive young man as well!" she smiled.
"Are you really ok with this, Mom?" I asked.
"Yes, Brian, I'm really ok with it. I guess I'll have to think of Ty in a whole new way, however. So what do I call him? Is he your 'lover', your 'husband', what?" she asked.
"Well..words are kind of difficult. Yes, he's my lover. We don't use the term 'husband' except as a kind of joke, really. And he's still my friend. You could always use that word if you're uncomfortable with 'lover'." I told her.
"Brian, I'm a grown woman and a nurse. I've seen it all. Many of my patients have been Gay, especially with the AIDS epidemic. I've seen their lovers taking care of them, being with them, loving them. I have learned that what I once thought was could only happen between a man and a woman could happen between two men. No, I don't have any trouble with the term 'lover'. But that brings up another subject. Are you and Ty being careful?" she asked.
"We really don't need to be, Mom." I answered. "We are completely faithful to each other. I was a virgin when I met Ty. And he, being a Marine, is tested all the time. And he had always been careful and used protection until he met me. I'm the first guy he's ever had unprotected sex with and he's the first guy - and the only guy - I've ever had sex with at all." I assured her.
"Well, that does relieve some anxiety I had. So I guess you two have been sleeping together for a while now?" she asked.
"Ever since the night we met. The only nights we don't sleep together is when you're off." I told her.
"Oh! I didn't realize! Of course! Well...that's going to have to stop! I can't have you two pulled apart because of me. I want you to go right on sleeping together whether I'm at work or not." she said with conviction.
"It has been hard." I admitted. "Not being able to sleep in his arms every night. You aren't mad about us sleeping together are you?"
"Brian, I'm not mad about anything! I'm very happy for you. Please, believe me, sweetie! I love Ty like a son. He seems like a wonderful young man and I love what he's done for you! I see now why you've been so happy. I understand why all of a sudden you became like a different Brian, the Brian I always knew you could be! It was Ty's love that brought that out of you!" she said and I blushed.
"Well...all the same, I think the nights that you're home, we'll sleep over in Ty's apartment. I wouldn't want to keep you awake." I smiled.
"You wouldn't want to make love with your mother in the next room, you mean, don't you?" she laughed.
"Well, yes, there is that!" I laughed.
"So you two always sleep here?" she asked.
"Yes. You see, in case you were to call for some reason. We didn't want you to worry. And since Ty has to get up so early, it made things easier this way. I fix him breakfast before he goes to the base and make dinner for you before you get home." I told her.
"So you must be getting up at what? 5 or 6 AM?" she asked.
"Five or sometimes before." I answered.
"Well, it MUST be love! Nothing could EVER get you up that early before!" she laughed.
"Yes, Mom, it really is. I love him. I love everything about him. And, he's giving up the Corps for me." I told her.
"He's what!?" Mom exclaimed. "He leaving the Marines because of you?!"
"Well, he says its because of 'us'. He doesn't want to hide anymore or take the chance of being thrown out. He and his room mates are going to open a garage together. Ty is going to work for them while I go to school and get my RN. Then we're going to look at him going to school." I told her.
"Well, you guys have this all planned out! But, does his room mates know about you two?" she asked.
"Oh, yes!" I laughed. "They were the first to know! Tim and Domingo are lovers as well. They've been together about four years now - ever since they got out of boot camp. That's why they rented the apartment so they would have someplace to be alone. But they couldn't afford it without Ty. And I'm so happy they couldn't!!! If it hadn't been for that, I never would have met Ty!" I exclaimed.
"Sweetie, I have a belief that, if it was meant to be, you would have met Ty no matter what." she smiled.
I hugged her.
"I love you, Mom." I said.
"And I love you, Brian. I want you to be very sure of that! Nothing you've told me, nothing you could EVER tell me will change that. Ok?" she said, smiling at me.
"Ok!" I said, giving her a smile in return.
"Well, I guess that's enough excitement for one day. I'm going to bed! You make sure that my new son-in-law is at dinner tonight! I want to have some words with that boy about making my son an honest man!" she laughed.
"We only wish we could, Mom. We'd love to get married. But I don't think we'll ever see that day." I said.
"Oh, I don't know, sweetie. The way the world is changing, you just never know." And with that, she went off to bed.
