*****************************************************************

Once the initial shock of that first kiss wore off, Jack just
looked at me and smiled.

"That was incredible," he said.

"I know, I think I've been waiting my whole life for that
moment," I replied.

"Well," he said, "where does this leave us?"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well, you KNOW how I feel about you, and I think that you felt
the same way after that monster kiss you just laid on me. I was
kinda wondering, if, um, well, you know, I was thinking maybe we
could..." he stammered. God, he was so cute when he was bashful!

"I was just thinking that since, you know, we got along so well,
and stuff, that maybe we could, you know, go out and stuff," he
said.

"Oh Jack, I would LOVE to!" I cried.

"Shew, that was a relief!" he laughed.

He kissed me one more time and then we said our goodbyes for the
night. I walked him to the door and said, "Jack, I am really glad
that I met you. I can tell we're gonna be really close. I am so
looking forward to getting to know you better."
He blushed, and I just HAD to sneak one more little peck on his
sensuous lips.

"Will, you make me feel so good about myself, I can't even
describe it. I can't wait to find out everything there is to know
about you."

With that, he walked out and headed back to his house. I quickly
ran upstairs and started jumping around like a madman possessed.
"I have a boyfriend! I have a boyfriend!!" I kept repeating to
myself, trying to make myself believe that the most awesome guy
I've ever met in my entire life actually wanted to LOVE me! I
felt like I'd just drank a whole case of Pepsi, I was so wired at
that point. I flipped on my stereo just in time to hear
"Beautiful Stranger" by Madonna come on. I just started jumping
around even wilder and sang along with the words. How ironic that
this song perfectly described my day!! God, THANK YOU for letting
me take a chance on this beautiful stranger!

Pretty soon the high I was on from this whole day came crashing
down, and I realized how tired I was. I'd had a big day after
all, and I needed some sleep if I was gonna attack the greens
tomorrow. I got ready for bed and just laid there listening to
the radio and staring up at the ceiling fan. As the blades
hypnotized me and lulled me to sleep, I looked back on how
mundanely this whole day started, and how it finished better than
I could have ever hoped, even in my wildest dreams!

****************************************************************

I awoke the next morning feeling refreshed and invigorated. I had
a new purpose for getting up each day, it was my Jackson. I
decided I was going to call him that when we were alone together,
it just had a delicate ring to it that just rolled off my tongue
like warm honey. Everything about Jack seemed to thrill me to my
limits, he was more perfect than I could have dreamed of, and I
didn't even really know him yet! I was sure that we would be
together forever, and this was only day 1 of our new lives
together.

	It was going to be another scorcher today, the weatherman
said it was going to be in the high 80's, but with the humidity
it would feel like it was over 100! Sounds like a perfect day to
lay out at the pool, I thought. I put on my swimsuit and grabbed
a towel and some mild sunscreen, and headed out towards the pool.
I'm a late sleeper, so it was almost lunchtime when I finally
headed outdoors. I casually strolled up towards the pool,
stopping to chat with the greens crew about the course conditions
today, and made general small talk. I wasn't in any hurry.
Eventually, I made it up to the pool and picked a nice quiet spot
away from all the splashing kids. I laid down on a lounge chair
and put my headphones on. I was listening to a Pearl Jam bootleg
I got for my birthday, it was a great concert, I wish I could
have seen that show. I had almost drifted off to sleep when a
pair of maliciously tickling hands suddenly brought me back to
reality. I thrashed around in a futile effort to get the tickling
to stop. I finally managed to roll myself completely off the
chair and fell straight on my ass. The tickling stopped, and I
finally regained my breath. I looked up into the angelic face of
my assailant, Jack of course, and he was laughing in the cutest
laugh I think I've ever heard. Jeez, even this boy's laugh is
irresistible. I jumped right up, and threw him straight into the
pool, and a fierce dunking contest ensued. We played around until
we were both too exhausted to continue, and then we just both
looked at each other and started laughing. It was one of those
laughs where once you started, you couldn't quit. We weren't
laughing at anything at all, and that seemed to make it even
funnier.

	We decided that we didn't really want to play golf today,
and I suggested that we go to the mall and hang out. I didn't
really know all that much about him, and I figured a nice neutral
setting like the mall might give us a chance to get to know each
other better. He liked that idea, and since he was new to the
area, he was kind of eager to see what there was to do around
here. I told him not to get his hopes up or anything, and he just
laughed and told me as long as I was there with him, we could
hang out at Kmart and it would be fine with him. That just made
me feel so damned special. This kid has a knack for saying all
the right things to me.

	Once we had gotten out of the pool and dried off, Jack
invited me back to his house. I gladly accepted and we headed off
towards his house. Jack lived in an impressive 2 story Victorian
that his mother had decorated very smartly. She had a real eye
for that kind of thing. As soon as we were in his room, Jack shut
the door and quickly grabbed hold of me; he pressed hips soft
lips against mine in a passionate fury. I opened my mouth a
little as he mimicked my movements. Neither of us were too
confident with the whole kissing thing yet, this was still really
new to both of us. Timidly, we both slid our tongues forward
until they touched, sending a jolt of pure adrenaline through
both of us. We quickly became more confident with our actions,
and the intensity of our liplock grew stronger. Jack took control
and started sucking gently on my bottom lip. He gently nibbled on
it, turning my legs into two wet noodles. I ran my fingers
through his hair, softly tickling the back of his head. I slid my
fingers down on his neck, gently rubbing his soft skin. This
drove him crazy, and he moved his attention from my lips to
gently sucking on my earlobe. God, how I felt so alive at that
moment. I felt like all my senses were firing all at once,
threatening to overwhelm me at any moment. I let out a soft moan,
which only encouraged him on. He moved slightly down and began
nibbling on my neck. The volume of my moans started to increase,
I had never felt such strong feelings of overwhelming pleasure,
it seemed like every pore of my body was radiating beams of white
hot fire! Oh God I was in pure rapture!

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!*

I nearly jumped out of my skin! Jack's mom asked us if we were
ready to go to the mall. We'd been in his room nearly half an
hour and hadn't even gotten out of our swimsuits yet! He yelled
to his mom that we would be down in a few, and she went back
downstairs.

"Boy, that was too close!" Jack said.

"Tell me about it," I replied.

"Well, we better get changed and ready to go, you can borrow some
of my clothes if you want," Jack offered.

"Thanks, why don't you pick me something out." I replied.
Jack picked out some Abercrombie cargo shorts and a short sleeved
J-Crew button up. Then he threw me a pair of Abercrombie boxers,
and I just about died. I was delighted to wear his clothes, but I
was about to faint at just the thought of wearing his boxers. He
was so thoughtful too, he told me that although he really wanted
to see me naked he would let me have my privacy to change in. I
kissed him with a quick peck on the lips and told him he was such
a gentleman. He blushed again, and I had to literally fight
myself not to pounce him right there. Even though the thought of
seeing Jack in all his glory appealed to me very greatly, I
wasn't THAT comfortable around him yet. You gotta leave 'em
always wanting more, I figured, and I didn't want to show all my
cards at the beginning of the game. Oh yeah, that and I had that
insecure awkwardness that everyone has about their body when
they're 15 and going through that 'transition phase.' I put on
Jack's clothes, smelling his scent the whole time. God, I hope it
wears off on me, and I can smell his sweet innocence even when
we're not together. Jack wears the best cologne, too. I think
it's CK Escape, but I'm not sure. I made another mental note to
ask him about it later. Whatever it is, it was making me pretty
damned hot just inhaling it. When I had finished dressing I went
downstairs to find Jack teasing his sister Haley. She was about
13, and you could tell she was just destined to be a
heartbreaker. Just like her older brother, I smiled to myself.

"Haley's going to the mall with us, even though I told mom I
didn't want her to," Jack teased. Haley responded by balling up
her fist and landing a pretty solid punch on his arm. Jack just
laughed it off, but I could tell that wasn't a light punch. In
fact it looked like it hurt like hell. Something inside me just
took over, and I started to rub his sore arm. Jack looked up at
me, panic stricken, and jerked his arm away. I was hurt beyond
belief that he would literally tear himself away from me, and as
soon as he'd done it, he realized that he'd hurt my feelings.
About that time, Jack's mom came into the kitchen where we all
were and herded us all outside to the Suburban. Haley jumped in
shotgun, and I just sort of slumped in against the window. Jack
kept trying to make eye contact with me the whole ride over
there, but I wasn't having any of it. All I was trying to do was
make his arm feel better, and he acted like I'd stabbed him or
something. My feelings were hurt, and I felt like pouting for a
little bit. We finally got to the mall, after what seemed like
the longest ride ever, and we all made arrangements for what time
to meet back and all that fun stuff you get to do with the
parentals when you're not old enough to drive. I just sulked
around the mall for awhile, and finally Jack just sat down on a
bench in the middle of the mall. When I finally realized he
wasn't walking beside me anymore, I had already gone about 50
feet by myself. When I turned around, my heart about broke in
two. I looked at a set of eyes that had been so full of laughter
and joy earlier in the day, but were now replaced with a look of
mournful sadness. And I loved those eyes, too, in fact I loved
everything about him, and that made it so hard for me to stay mad
at him. With each step I took back towards him, my self-righteous
resolve melted that much more. By the time I finally got back to
where he was sitting, I was putty in his hands. I sat down beside
him, and for a brief minute or two, we just sat in silence.

"I'm sorry I jerked my arm away like that," he said.

"I was just trying to make you feel better," I whined, which
surprised me, because I never whine.
"I know, I was just sort of freaked out, first with my mom almost
catching us, and then you rubbing my arm in front of Haley. I
really like you Will, but I'm not ready to let anyone else but
you know it yet."

Wow, Jack's words floored me. He was completely right. I had to
be more careful, because you get into trouble when you let your
guard down about stuff like this. God, why couldn't Jack just be
a Jackie, and then I could publicly express my affections??
Because I wouldn't want to be with anyone but my Jackson, that's
why. But someday, somehow, I was gonna let the whole WORLD know.
When we got home, it was dark already, and I told Jack that I had
a something special I wanted to show him. He got this wicked
little grin on his face, and I smirked, "Easy Tonto, it's not
THAT special!" He started giggling in his oh so cute laugh, and I
just couldn't help but crack up too. What was it about him that
made me just so damned deliriously happy all the time? If I could
bottle that and sell it, I'd be a damned millionaire, that's for
sure.

I grabbed Jack's hand and led him off through a thicket of woods
and out onto the tee box of hole number 6, my favorite. I loved
this hole for a few reasons. First, it was a really sweet dogleg
back to the right that played well with the fade on my drive.
Second, it was the most beautifully landscaped hole on the
course. The tee box was on a small hill from which you could see
every star in the sky. To the left was a lake with a fountain
that was spraying. At night, they turned a blue light on inside
the fountain, and it just looked so beautiful. Between the gentle
splashing of the water from the fountain and the crickets
chirping, Jack and I had a beautiful Carolina serenade. We laid
back on the grass and just stared up at the sky.

"Jack," I started, "what did you mean when you said I was like
all the rest?"

"Huh?" Jack replied.

"You know, last night when you said that every time you told
someone about you they dissed you," I said.

"Oh," Jack started, "well, that's really the whole reason we
moved here." Jack got really quiet and I felt really bad for
bringing it up.

"I'm sorry Jack, this isn't any of my business. I apologize for
dragging up bad memories," I said.

"Oh, don't worry, you've given me so much happiness in just the
one day that I've known you to completely erase all the hate a
few assholes have shown me."

I started feeling all tingly again inside, God, he just knows how
to make me just turn to jello.

"Basically, I grew up in a town just like this one in Florida,"
Jack began again. I could tell this was going to be painful for
him, and I squeezed his hand for support. "I had this group of 3
other guys that I had grown up with. We were inseparable from the
beginning. We were basically all brothers. Well, long story
short," he continued, "I thought everyone was having the same
thoughts I did about sex and who was hot and all that. Well, they
were having the thoughts, just not about the same people I was. I
made the mistake of telling them about a crush I had on this cute
guy in our math class, and they all freaked. We went from
brothers one day to arch enemies the next. They told everyone in
school that I was a total fag, and pretty soon everyone was
whispering and laughing when I would walk down the hall." Tears
were coming down his soft cheeks now, burning two canals of
sorrow and rage into his sweet face of innocence. "It got so bad
that no one would talk to me, except to make fun of me, because
they were all afraid they would be branded as a fag too." He was
now openly sobbing, in loud, jagged breaths. He clutched my hand
for all it was worth, trying to gain any bit of strength from
contact with me as possible.

"Will," he continued, "it got so bad I honestly wanted to kill
myself. I went from being a popular good looking kid that was
friends with everyone, to a social outcast who no one wanted. My
parents sensed that there was trouble at school, I think a
guidance counselor may have called them or something, but they
told me that kids can be really hurtful sometimes. Yeah, no shit
mom and dad," he managed a weak laugh. "But they knew I was dying
inside. And I would continue to waste away on the inside unless
they got me out of there. My dad applied for several jobs with a
number of prestigious courses, but this one really caught his
eye. I think it was just God setting us up to meet." I was softly
stroking his hair now, and he had laid his head on my chest.

"Will, I thank God I met you, you have truly saved my life."
Ok, when he said that, the waterworks just kicked into high gear.
My eyes, already brimming with tears, flooded with hot agony over
the senseless suffering of someone so kind and gentle. I wanted
so badly to just hold him like this forever, block out any more
pain from ever touching him again. He leaned up and softly kissed
me on the lips. "Shhh, baby, it's ok," Jack said, "I'm all better
now, I've got my secret weapon against them. I've got you." Oh
shit, now I REALLY started to cry!

"God Jackson, you are too perfect to even dream about. How did I
ever get this lucky? What did I ever do to deserve somebody so
completely and totally perfect?" I exclaimed.

"You...you...just called me Jackson again. Nobody's ever called
me that except my parents. But it sounds so...so...natural to
hear you say it. It's like a secret only we know about, one only
we can enjoy. Please say it again, please!" he pleaded.

"Oh Jackson, no, MY Jackson," I cried, as though my very life
depended on it, "yesterday, I didn't even know you existed. But
now that I've met you, I can never ever even imagine my life
without you in it. You've filled a hole inside of my heart that I
didn't even know was there, but now that you've filled it, I can
never live without it. It would be easier for me to live without
oxygen than to live without you!" I exclaimed.

Jack didn't even waste another second, he was on top of me faster
than I could even think. I was inundated with sweet angel kisses
on my lips, cheeks, ears, and neck. I was beginning to moan, and
that only encouraged Jack even more. I really liked seeing this
aggressive side of him. The only other time the animal came out
in him was on the golf course, but I enjoyed it more now than
ever before. I was savagely running my hands through his hair,
begging him never to stop. He felt so good to me, and the
sensations he was producing from just his kisses were taking me
to heights I'd never dreamed possible. I slid my hands down his
back and onto his soft, supple cheeks. "Mmm," he moaned, "that
feels so good." We began an urgent rhythm, pushing all of our
hopes, dreams, joys and frustrations into one tremendous fury,
threatening to explode at any moment.

"Jackson," I whispered in his ear, "I can't hold back much
longer. I think I'm going to..."

"I know baby, me too," he panted as he dove down onto my mouth
for the most life draining, passionate kiss I've ever had.

My passionate moans were drowned out by the eruption of the
sprinklers all around us. Climactic bursts of water sprang from
the ground, cascading majestically through the air. Jack and I
laid there, completely oblivious to the fact we were being
soaked. We were enjoying our first afterglow together, after the
most powerful orgasm either of us had ever experienced. I knew
life wouldn't always be easy for either of us in the future, but
after tonight, I was confident I could face anything as long as I
had my Jackson by my side.
