Believe that there's no question about next year. Let me think about it and check out possibilities with several of my colleagues at work. It's just as well, Jeb. I've had to agree to assume the chairperson's tasks for one year - and my book is at that point where I really have to spend some serious time and energy. It's a bad time for something to be going down in Jamie's life, especially if it's something sexual that we need to monitor. If we don't make some alternate arrangements, the fact that you're temporarily out of the picture and my time will be severely restricted could have some really bad effects." (Continuing Our Story: Shifting Gears) Nothing happened overnight, but at the very least Matt was more aware of what was going on and had set about trying to minimize the fallout. He did speak with a wide range of colleagues about reputable gyms in the area, especially those that had programs for teenagers. (In fact, he asked Rob and Jeb to make similar inquiries in Annapolis.) After some reflection, he suggested that he join the boys for discussion on the next Saturday. While the results weren't all that he had hoped for, Jamie did seem to accept the fact that another person important to him wasn't simply leaving his life. Actually, he was quite taken with the photos of summer Midshipmen cruises that Jeb brought along - and he was reassured that Matt intended to continue a close relationship with both of his friends. Further, he was obviously pleased that Jeb felt he was now prepared to undertake more rigorous physical training, especially when he was drawn into identifying the right gym. The search continued into October. In the meantime, of course, life went on. Though Matt tended to see it as more of an adolescent stage rather than a symptom of something more serious, Jamie continued to spend much of his home time in the nude. For the life of him, Matt couldn't really complain. Admittedly, the youngster provided fantastic eye candy for a man who had been starved of opportunities to look and enjoy. Further, the boy never embarrassed him with others who came to their home. Then, too, he didn't really feel he had sufficient data to figure out everything that was going on. After all, while he had had some solid experience with late teens and the early 20s crowd through his teaching, this was his first encounter with someone close to him who was experiencing the pangs of earlier adolescence. In this case, he felt it best to watch and wait. (A Night at the Museum) Life rarely proceeds in a straight line, and this was definitely not one of those occasions. In the very first 9th Grade science project of the year, Jamie and his teammate, Pete Sandstrom, took first place at Anne's Harbor High School. (Matt wondered why his redhead hadn't teamed up with Dylan Smith, but decided to say nothing.) The prize had been well chosen for midteens and beautifully planned. Along with two other teams from surrounding high schools, one of their teachers and one of the fathers, they drove to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City late on a Friday afternoon. There they joined nearly 300 other 9th Grade prize winners and their chaperones. The formal program, underwritten by their schools, would end at 11:00 a.m. the next day. Pete and Jamie were beside themselves with excitement! Naturally, they consumed a hefty extra lunch packed at home on the drive up to the city - even though there would be an evening snack at the Museum. Predictably, vending machines were available at all times. Arriving they immediately put their sleeping bags into which they had packed a few personal items on the cots to which they were directed. (Both boys hoped that they didn't wake up in the middle of the night, for their cots were located in the midst of the great dinosaur exhibits!) Before the evening was over, they would imagine themselves as paleontologists on an expedition while watching "Dinosaurs Alive" in the LeFrak IMAX Theater, they would explore an exhibit of live amphibians and reptiles with experienced personnel, and they would move through the Museum's famous dinosaur gallery lit only by a flashing strobe and their flashlights. (The giants of a past age were never so terrifying!) After a nice snack, the evening ended with a flashlight "Museum Quest" through the eerily dark marble hallways on the first and fourth floors. Need it be said that the boys were still on high when they returned to their cots? Actually, Jamie and Pete pushed their cots together (for protection against the shadowy T. rex that loomed threateningly above them?) and quietly carried on for hours! Following a morning clean up in one of many restrooms and a light but satisfying breakfast, they found that the Main Museum Shop had opened at 7:30 a.m. Each student was then directed to an elective session with the Museum specialist for whom he had signed up prior to leaving Anne's Harbor. Following a short but powerful program in the famous Hayden Planetarium, their unique "Night at the Museum" came to a close. Matt had quite a surprise when Jamie returned in mid afternoon. He expected that he would never shut the boy up...that it would be like the verbal explosion that followed his first day of school. Not so... The lad was decidedly uncommunicative, seemed upset and, to some extent, acted as if he felt guilty about something. (Had he been a puppy, you would definitely have begun searching for the soiled spot on the rug!) He only poked at his supper and went up to his room early and never reappeared that evening. In fact, he didn't come out of his shell until breakfast on Monday before he left for school. Teenagers... (Craig Bristol) Matt was already going out of his mind with the added work load at the College when one burden was lifted from his shoulders. Jamie came home later that week actually smiling! He had checked out the possibilities for an advanced physical development program suggested by his father, as well as the possibility of going out of town...say, over to Annapolis. Evidently, he had wandered into a couple of gyms, including the facility at the high school, and spoken with several fitness instructors. His hands-down favorite was a gym right in Anne's Harbor, i.e., the Bayside Fitness Club. He very much liked the proprietor who was also the Head Fitness Trainer. Clive and Pete who had gone with him said that their equipment was the best in the area. Matt congratulated him on his efforts and said that he would touch bases with the instructor and see what could be worked out. Immediately on entering the club, Matt recognized the young lady at the front desk as one of his former students. After they talked pleasantly for a few minutes, she had a young man give him a thorough tour of the facility. Initially, everything from the reception area to the machine areas to the locker/shower/rest rooms struck him as especially clean, well organized and staffed. The young staff member then introduced him to Craig Bristol, a thirty-one year old who remembered having spoken with Jamie. In fact, he said that he had been impressed with the young man. His problem was that this was his first club. Yes, after earning his professional certificates in addition to a degree, he had served as a fitness instructor for six years - but only as an employee. He wanted to build Bayside up...the right way, and this would take time and energy. Accepting the boy as a special client represented a major commitment. Hence, he surely wasn't interested in committing to a program that would last for only a couple of weeks - nor did he think that would appeal to the Professor. Matt was impressed. Realizing that Bristol was quite busy, he took the next step and invited him over to the house for a more thorough discussion. In fact, he invited him to dinner with the two of them two nights hence. Matt was only human - and, frankly, he was much relieved when the proprietor accepted his invitation. The evening turned out to be pleasant as well as productive. Jamie seemed to be his old effervescent self at dinner. When the boy returned to his room to continue working on his homework, the two adults talked at length in Matt's study. The upshot was that Bristol agreed to serve as his Personal Trainer - as long as the boy was still seriously interested. Knowing the answer to that question, Matt took out his checkbook and wrote a check for several thousand dollars. "We agree, sir," Matt summarized, "to allow Jamie to cancel within two weeks with a two hundred dollar penalty. Otherwise, the remainder of the six months fee will be paid on the schedule we discussed." "Correct, sir," Bristol said. "By the way, Jamie will be my first exclusive client in the new club. Believe that I'm going to do everything I can to make it well worth your while...and Jamie's. As a matter of fact, given his age, I would prefer to think of our working together to help him grow. Oh, yes, a couple more notes: Since your son had a full physical less than two months ago, it will be enough if he brings a note from your physician certifying that he is able to engage in 'monitored strength training and aerobic exercise suitable for his age and physical condition'. Secondly, Professor Wreston. I surely prefer that you use my first name." "Only if you will use mine," Matt said pleasantly and extended his hand. Yelling up the staircase to Jamie, asking him to come downstairs, produced a flurry of activity and, finally, a young man more or less clad in torn cargo shorts and a ratty T- shirt. "I think your judgment about Bayside was pretty much on target, son," Matt said. "Mr. Bristol wonders if you are still interested." "Yes, sir!" the boy exclaimed emphatically. "Can I...sorry...May I start on Thursday?" Looking guiltily at Matt, he added, "I've got a big English test on Wednesday, and I'm...kinda behind." "I think that's a plan," the young instructor said with a wide grin. "Any other questions?" "Yes, sir," Jamie replied. "What kind of gymwear shall I bring?" "You show up with some mostly white gym shoes and your jock," the instructor said. "I'll provide you with the two sets of Club shorts, Ts, and athletic socks that your dad has already purchased for you. He's a good man, by the way. You're lucky to have him as a dad! Now upstairs with you, Red, and get back to preparing for that test!" The youngster grinned and passed by Bristol as he headed for the stairs. Receiving a solid slap on the rump, he yelped and roared up the stairs two at a time. Reaching the landing, he turned back towards the two men, grinned mischievously, and disappeared down the hall. "I see you enjoy working with young people," Matt observed appreciatively. "Yep," Craig murmured softly. "If you don't enjoy the age groups with which you're working, you don't get very far with them." He paused before continuing in a stronger voice. "Sorry, Professor, you're the professional educator here. I look forward to learning from you and Jamie, as well as making my contribution." Matt just laughed, slapped him heartily on the back, and wished him a safe journey home. (The New Program) Jamie biked over to the Club as soon as school was out on Thursday. He found Bristol speaking with a young woman in the reception area. "Hi, Red!" the Director greeted him warmly. After quickly scanning his doctor's note, he handed it to her, latched onto the teen's heavy traps with a big paw, and guided him around the Club, introducing him to staffers and equipment as they went. Ending up in the locker/shower/rest room area, he gave the redhead a combination lock, told him to strip and place all of his clothes other than his gym shoes and jockstrap in his locker, and then knock on the inside door that was labeled "Director". For the moment, he should just carry his shoes and jock. As the teen entered Bristol's office, the Director finished completing a new record page, paused momentarily, and then spent a couple of minutes scanning him critically from head to foot. He had begun to blush under the close scrutiny, until Bristol grinned and exclaimed, "My God, Jamie, you have to be one of the most promising fourteen year olds I have ever encountered! Congratulations on the hard work needed to get this far. Obviously, Midshipman Burns and you did a fantastic job! I assume you want to take it to the next step? By that I simply mean safely building your muscles and your strength...your general fitness? You want to build up your body until it not only feels and looks great, but immediately does whatever needs to be done easily and smoothly. Right?" "Right, sir!" Jamie answered smartly, his face a study in intensity. "Ok," the Director continued. "Come on over here and jump up on the scale. We need to begin the weighing and measuring process that will take place at many of our sessions. "One hundred thirty-eight lbs, just a hair under five feet eight inches," the instructor intoned as he entered the numbers onto Jamie's record. "Not bad, Big Guy. Now, if you will go over and stand in front of that chair, I'd like to take just a minute to satisfy myself that the parts are working the way they're supposed to." For a good ten minutes, Bristol sat in the chair until Jamie was sure that he must have prodded and sqeezed just about every muscle in his body. Not surprisingly, as he fingers pressed slightly into his lower stomach, the boy's mighty prong erected with a force that startled even his instructor. "Sorry," the youngster whispered, his face reddening. "Let's have none of that, Wreston!" Bristol snapped sharply. "Your cock simply did what it was designed to do. Don't ever be sorry to be a man!" With that he reached up and fondly ruffled the boy's thick red hair. Returning his eyes to the throbbing, dripping pillar, he squinted and drawled in his best cowboy-flick imitation, "Did you ever have to go down to the sheriff's office, Red, and register that thing . . ." "As a dangerous weapon?" Jamie completed the old saw, laughing so hard that for an instant he tottered forward against the man. "Sorry again, sir!" the boy guffawed, completely unable to stop laughing and giggling. "Ok, podner, his instructor chuckled, "let's finish up. I think you're going to live, Jamie. More than that, you've got the bone structure to carry a lot of muscle. Before we're through, you're going to have a spectacular physique - and we're going to do it safely! Got it?" The big redhead just looked at him with trust, devotion...and, yes, a little lust...in his eyes. Several minutes later, having donned his jock and dressed in the relatively brief, dark blue shorts and a white T-shirt - both bearing the Club logo - and heavy white socks that covered big feet thrust into his relatively new white gym shoes, he proudly looked into a tall mirror. "You've got two sets, Red," Bristol exclaimed, his hand on the lad's shoulder. "Come in here in dirty, smelly clothes and there'll be all hell to pay!" Jamie nodded quietly, knowing by now that the man's bark was considerably worse than his bite...and that he had gained a new and very good friend. After spending 5-10 minutes warming up and stretching, Jamie spent the rest of the session in sit-ups, pushups, and pull-ups. The Director watched carefully, criticizing his technique when it was less than perfect. Finally, it was time to wrap things up. After he had cooled down a bit and again stretched the muscles he had used, his instructor snapped, "Good job!" and told him to get a shower. "In here or off the locker room, sir?" Jamie asked. "Well, Red, you're my personal client," Bristol replied. "If you want to shower in here, you may." "May I shower with you, sir?" the boy asked mischievously. Bristol paused, then shrugged and replied, "Only if your dad says you can. You ask; tell me next time." As Jamie showered, his instructor told him that he would be working with weights and other exercises for his abdomen and upper and lower bodies on three days a week. On the remaining four, he would be involved in an aerobic exercise program. (Some of the latter work, of course, might be completed at school if he went out for teams such as soccer, track, or wrestling. Then, too, he would be spending quite a bit of time in his pool at home.) As he dried off on the mat in front of the shower, Bristol added that he'd receive a chart that gave him the schedule for each day of the week. Taking the towel and catching a few spots that Jamie had missed, his instructor finally popped him on the rear and set him off to dress and head for home. Matt noticed that there was actually spring in his step when his redhead walked in the door. "Have a good day?" he asked with a knowing grin. Dinner was prepared and half-eaten before a happy, smiling kid completed his blow-by-blow answer. Oh, yes. When he asked about showering with the coach, Matt paused and then said that he trusted both his son and Craig Bristol. The decision was his to make. Jamie smile grew wider. His system even settled down enough that for the first time in ages he got some solid homework done. Only when Jamie slipped into bed with him - which he hadn't done for some time - and affectionately rubbed his back did Matt realize how good a day it had been! The next several weeks were among the happiest in Jamie's life. Jeb's exercise program had built such a firm foundation - and Jamie's determination to reach new heights was such - that the Bayside program had extraordinarily quick results. Within the shortest time, that which had been mostly bulk with taut surfaces was transformed into hard, beautifully shaped muscle. Overnight, it seemed, a large, handsome, well set-up fourteen year old was transformed into a marble statue that the Classical Age would have revered. The planes of his face and body were such that he looked more mature. The redhead was ecstatic! In part, of course, Jamie's determination to give Craig Bristol bit of energy and obedience he possessed was fired by the reaction of his buddies at school. They saw his seemingly quick physical transformation and most were out of their minds with envy. It was also the case, however - though this is difficult to put into words - that Jamie believed that he had finally found someone who believed in him and, what's more, had time for him. The emotional climate and events of his last year in Oregon had created giant fissures in his life, fissures that were not going to be closed easily or quickly. Matt Wreston had achieved wonders with the boy, but the heavy professional responsibilities that had been suddenly thrust upon him could not have come at a worse time...at least for Jamie. However deep the love he retained for Matt, the youngster sorely NEEDED the physical closeness, the daily supervision, and the emotional support that Bristol was giving him. (Given the experience of a fourteen year old with this boy's history, there was simply no way that he could have adequately understood why Matt's support had suddenly been so sharply reduced.) Finally, as is so often the case during this pivotal period in a male's life, his sexual desires were being defined and disclosed in ways that he could no longer fully control either through willpower or by ignoring them. (Foreplay) Jamie had several memories of the early weeks of the Bayside program. First and foremost, he remembered how vibrantly alive he felt when he and Clyde Bristol showered together after their workout sections. In the past, his relationships with males (Matt, Robby, Jeb, Dylan and, to a great extent, even Pete Sandstrom) had tended to be one-sided. He had (largely undefined) feelings that he tried to express, but the response of the other, if not negative, was either lacking or severely limited. That was simply not the case with his fitness instructor. The first time Jamie startled him by lathering him up in the shower, for instance, was met by Clyde's obvious pleasure. For Jamie, however, the point was that in return the man held him tightly while he lathered him with even more enthusiasm than HE had dared show. A hard erection experienced in the shower was not merely greeted by an accepting smile and a few words on normal adolescent sexuality. It resulted in mutual TOUCHING. It resulted in mutual excitement as skin stretched so far that it almost became translucent as it reddened and grew slick with body fluids. It only fed his desire for Craig to touch him EVERYWHERE...and his determination to be more adventurous himself. Jamie also remembered the day when his instructor suddenly told him to stop in the middle of an exercise. "Red," he said, "I've got a problem. I'm trying to carefully observe your muscles and devise exercise sequences that will always take you one step further. My problem lies in the fact that you are a big, fast-maturing guy, who could easily be a year or two older." Experiencing a mixture of embarrassment and sharp, physical pleasure, Jamie hung his head bashfully. "You've got so damned much body hair, Red, that it prevents my following the movements of many of your muscles! Also, a little later on, I'd like to take a few "before" photos - completely private - that we could compare with those we would take "after" various exercise programs. Again, you're such a hairy beast that it's hard to see how beautifully built you are. Is there any way that you'd allow me to remove quite a bit of that hair for the duration of our work? Then, of course, it would grow back in." The boy lifted his head and stared directly into the man's eyes. "Sure, there's a way, sir," he said in a straightforward, direct tone of voice. "Would you be so kind as to tell me what it is?" the instructor countered. "That's easy, sir," the boy said in an unexpectedly lower register, indicating that his voice was beginning to settle down. "Simply ask me to let you remove any hair that's in the way. You're a great teacher...and a great guy," the redhead exclaimed earnestly. "I trust you, and my dad trusts you. Anything you want is yours...on the spot...no discussion." Even though there would be as many more body shaves, Jamie knew he would never forget the first one - the way that the trimmer quickly removed the longer hairs under his arms, on his solid torso, around his genitals, upper thighs, and butt and on his legs and feet...the warm shaving soap that allowed the razor to glide and remove the stubble...the way in which Craig stroked the underside of his cock until it went hard and he was able to remove every dark red hair from the base up...and the way in which the two of them worked together to stretch his long nut sack until every hair could be removed from his furry balls. Nor would he forget how he stood in front of the long mirror when he was through, Craig in back of him with one arm thrown diagonally across his torso and his hand resting on his lower stomach. God, he did look great and he really could see how muscular he was becoming. His chest was amazing...and so was his package that looked bigger by a third! If only he hadn't developed the hard-on to end all hard-ons! He giggled when his hairless, newly sensitized butt told him that Craig was every bit as hard as he! All would have been perfect had he not begun to figure one thing out. Beyond the effect of the Program on his physique and health, there was no question about his wanting Craig's physical attention - or wanting to express his feelings physically. The simple truth was that he increasingly needed both. Nor did he believe that he was doing anything wrong. (How many hours had he lain sleepless working out his answer to that question!) After thinking about it over several nights, he decided that the difficulty was twofold. First, together with indicators about who turned him on, the present activity brought him face to face with the conclusion that he was gay. Hell, he no longer could say that he WASN'T gay, but he sure didn't want to be. Remembering what his dad had told him about Matthew Shepard when they drove through Laramie - or what he had seen in school...and heard at home in Portland about his uncle - who would? But homosexuality was a wall surrounding him that grew taller and taller by the day - a wall that isolated him, threatened him, and made him feel unsure about his own worth. He found the second difficulty harder to describe. True, he knew what he needed and he didn't think he was doing wrong. Nevertheless, there was something deep down within him...perhaps something woven into the very structure or core of his being...that said it WAS wrong and that what he was doing - and allowing others to do to him - was wrong and dirty and destructive. It wasn't even a religious matter; neither he nor his family had ever been "religious". It was just there...and it engendered a lot of guilt whether or not he needed that crap! Suddenly he remembered his middle school "World History" class and a discussion of the "cultural unconscious" that was really interesting. Maybe prehistoric people had thought that if they claimed an all-powerful "God" had told homosexual males that they needed to hunt, farm, wage wars, and create more babies rather than write poetry or make love to the person they really wanted, they would be more likely to follow the majority's wishes rather than their own, and the society would be stronger. Maybe people had been told that for so long that it got lodged in the depths of their being...way back in their minds...or, if you will, in every person's cultural unconscious. If that were true, the old feelings would surely return eon after eon in every area of the globe. The only way for them to be stilled would be for people to confront those feelings when they experienced them and tell them to stick it! Maybe...but he still felt guilty at times, and sometimes it got so depressing that even the exercise program didn't help much. So there you have it: Increasingly, Jamie could neither escape the conclusion that he was homosexual nor the implications of that conclusion. Even though he didn't think he was doing anything wrong, he felt guilty about both his gay feelings and his incipient gay activity. In turn, the guilt brought on a deepening depression.
