I have to thank Nifty for letting me find such an amazing site. That has made me feel like I'm not alone in this world of dreams, while not accepted by closed-minded people. Love does not come in a prepackaged form, defined by a few over religious groups, or others, too blind to see the true meaning of the word "LOVE." The one that has been the most helpful in my writing trials, and has been a great inspiration to me in all my endeavors has been Matthew Templar, my editor. Thank you, Matthew. You are the most unselfish and caring man I've met. You put all others before yourself with all the things you do. Read "Never Take Love for Granted" and you will see what kind of man he really is. Chapter 1 "My Marty" You asked me about my love of long ago. His name was Marty. He was 11 years old when I first met him in the summer of 1981. I worked with his Dad (Ed) at the local paper in Mesa. We worked in the warehouse, keeping the giant newspaper press loaded with paper. I didn't know much about Ed, just that he was married and had two boys. Ed was a big drinker. He would come to work smelling of booze in the morning and be in a nasty mood. We got along okay. He was a lot older then me by 20 years. I don't do drunks. I came from living in a single parent home and my mother was a raging alcoholic. But Ed seemed harmless. One night, he talked me into going out with him. So I left my truck at work and he drove us to the local bar. We had way to much to drink and it was very late. I was less drunk then he was so I drove him home. It was too late for me to go home to my one room apartment, so he told me to stay. I could sleep in the boys' room. There were two beds in the room; one was empty and the other had two small forms in it. Being a little drunk I didn't notice how old the boys where; I just needed to lie down before I fell down. I was only in bed for a short time when I felt the bed move. A small arm came over my right arm. I was lying on my side, facing the wall. I was a little surprised to say the least. But I figured it was his bed and how was I to say anything about it. And I loved the contact of his skin on mine. I was only 19 and gay, in the closet big time; being from a very small town, in the big bad Wild West. I laid there for some time, loving the feel of him on my back; the warmth of him was sending chills all over me. Then I noticed a small poke just above my butt and I realized it was he's stiffy poking me. Well now, let me tell you I was in heaven just thinking what this boy looked like in my mind's eye. It was still quite dark and I didn't want to move a muscle and have him move away from me. Then I noticed I had a raging hardon myself. But, being in my co-worker's house, in bed with a small boy, with a stiffy in my back, and being somewhat tipsy, I wasn't sure what to do. I started to think about getting up and out of that room. But the feelings I was having overruled my panic. So I just laid there and just loved the warmth of his touch, and finally went to sleep. I started to come out of a dream I was having, about being with a boy, laying in my arms and never feeling so much warmth and love before. Then, as I opened my bloodshot eyes, and got them to focus, I realized I was lying on my back and my right arm was out, and had a small head laying on it. I turned my head to the right to see the most beautiful set of deep gray eyes looking right at mine; seeing right into my soul. I just stared with my mouth wide open. He was asking me how I was, but I wasn't listening. I was locked on those eyes of his; those shimmering pools of the deepest gray I'd ever seen. And then he reached up with his right hand to my chin and pushed my mouth shut, knocking me back to reality. And just asked me my name again. I choked out, "Wade." "Wade is your name?" he asked as he giggled. "That's a weird name." His voice was that of an angel to my ears, and his smile was brighter then any light I'd ever seen. His face was the most precious thing of all; bright, and full of sunshine. It glowed with a light that said he could do no wrong. He then asked me why I was in his bed. I told him I had to drive his dad home; that he'd had too much to drink and couldn't drive. Then, just as fast as his smile sprang up, it faded away and he looked down. My heart just started to feel broken and hurt for him. I was swept back to my youth and the times I'd be in my room, trying to hide under my sheets, listening to my mom shouting at my dad, in a drunken stupor, screaming words that I'd only heard the older kids say on the playground; not knowing what they meant, but knowing if they came from me, it would mean a bar of soap was soon to be introduced to my taste buds. At that moment, I knew I had to take that feeling away from this angel, so I pulled my arm that had his head on it, into my chest and just hugged and stroked his back. He did not pull away, but only pulled me in closer to him. I told him in my softest voice that I knew how he felt. That seemed to make him feel better somehow. We talked for a bit. I got to know him more. He told me his name was Marty. The lump under the sheets on the other bed was his younger brother Chris, by three years. He was a pain in his butt, but he liked to play with him. Marty told me he hadn't had too many friends. His family had just moved into the apartment complex a couple of months ago, and that they moved a lot. So he knew he'd be moving soon, so there was no sense in making friends if they would only be leaving them behind. I just laid there and stroked his back. My heart was his at that point, unconditionally! He seemed to be feeling more at ease with me, and it just felt so good. I soon had to leave, and he needed to get ready to go to school. We got dressed and went out into the living room. Nobody was up yet, just Marty and me; so I made him a bowl of Trix and had one myself. He never left my side the whole time I was there. When it was time to leave for the bus, I walked him to the bus stop and he looked up at me with those beautiful eyes of gray and smiled at me and said thanks. I asked, "For what?" He said, "For being there." He said, "Mom works nights and Dad, well, he never gets home till late and by then his is too drunk to want to do much but eat and pass out." At that moment I wanted to just scoop him up in my arms and run away with him. Noting that that couldn't happen, I just put my hand on his shoulder and rubbed it and told him I would not leave him tell the bus came. He asked me if I was going to come back and see him. I told him that wild horses couldn't keep me from him. He smiled so big it filled my heart with more than enough love to at least last me until we met again. As the bus pulled up, he reached up to my shoulder and pulled me down to speak in my ear. "I like you. You make me laugh." And he ran onto the bus. I waved to him as the bus pulled away.
