Thanks, Seth Tubby IN MEMORY OF JUSTINCASE 1956-2003 From the last chapter "Hey man! We need to talk," I said to him. "Sure man! Sup dude?" Heath asked. "Well we have been friends for awhile now and I have to tell you something about me you should hear from me and not someone else." I said, looking at him. "Heath, I am gay," I said. "You fucking lie man! No way! Get the fuck away from me!" Heath screamed at me. NOW ON TO THE CHAPTER "Heath, come back! Heath man? Please come back!" I yelled to him as he ran from me as fast as he could. I sit back on the grass and pulled my knees to my chest and cried for a while as the thoughts of him and his friends coming back to hurt me. I lifted my head and looked around and thought to myself, well may as well go home and tell the folks about this and see if they can help me with this. As I opened the door the phone was ringing and I heard mom answer it. "Seth it's for you honey," mom said as she handed the receiver to me. "Thanks mom," I said to the air, as she was already gone back to the kitchen. "Hello," I said to the handset. "Seth, we need to talk man, now and really bad." Heath said into my ear. I could feel the blood leave my face as I heard him say that to me. "Heath can you come over here in about an hour?' I ask. "Sure dude. See ya then." Heath says as the line went dead. "Mom? I need to talk to you," I said as I walked into the kitchen. "Sure honey, what's wrong?" She said to the salad she was working on. "I have a problem. I told Heath I was gay and he got really mad at me and yelled at me then he ran off." I say to mom as I sit at the table. "Honey, you know that some people can't deal with things good and this is one of those types of things," mom told me as she sat beside me and took my hand in hers. "I just hope that you can find it in your heart to try and deal with the feelings Heath is having now," mom was saying as she wiped tears from her cheeks. We sat and talked for a time about nothing, yet she told me tons of things to work out in my mind. We both were brought back to present time when the doorbell rang. "I will get it," I said moving toward the door. I peered out the side window and saw Heath standing there, hands in his pockets looking around and seemingly lost in his own thoughts. I opened the door and his face was flushed as he looked as though he had been crying. "Come on in Heath." I stepped to the side and let him enter the foyer. "Mom is in the kitchen. Let's go there first and see her ok?" I ask as I motion him towards the door. "Um^Å Seth, I wanted to talk to you alone if I can?" Heath asked quietly. I looked at him and said we would in time but first we needed to talk to mom. "Ok" was Heath's only reply. "Hi guys, sit let's talk a minute," mom says to the both of us. We take our seats and look at the table for a minute then at my mom as soon as she started to say these words." Heath, my son felt like he could trust you with a secret. He feels like you took it badly is that right?" "Yes ma'am, I freaked when Seth told me that he is gay." Heath dropped his head as he said this." But I felt hurt betrayed and guilty at the same time." "Seth I haven't told any of the gang about this and I won't either if you can forgive me for my actions." Heath says, as he looks in my face this time. Then I feel a hand on mine and look to see Heath has taken my hand. Then I am shocked by his next statement." Seth the reason I feel guilty is that I too am gay and you two are the first I have told of this. So please, keep this to yourself." "My folks are not homophobic but they aren't as open minded as some. I feel safe at home but I am not sure how they would take the news just yet." He says as the tears roll down his cheeks. "I want to tell them but I just haven't had the courage yet. Will you be my backup when and if I tell them?" Heath asks between sniffles and sobs. I pull my hand from his, push my chair back and walk around the table to his side. I can see him draw up preparing for a punch or slap as I raise my arms. But he is surprised as I reach around his shoulders and draw him to me in a hug." Heath I will be your friend still and your backup if needed." I say in his ear during the hug. By this time mom has joined us and has an arm around us both and says, "boys this is a giant step for you, I am proud of you both." "Now get out of my kitchen so I can fix dinner. Heath would you like to stay?' mom asks. "I need to call mom and make sure it will be ok first." Heath replied, as he wipes his face with his shirttail. I am standing by him now and notice the abs Heath has. Man I hadn't noticed those until now. Hhhhhmmmmmmm stop this you fool, he wouldn't be interested in you. He already has a friend in mind for things, I say to myself. I show Heath the phone and he calls home to clear the dinner with his mom and she agrees for him to stay, but wants to speak to my mom also. After a few minutes she says all is a go for dinner and that Heath can spend the night if he likes and I feel comfortable with it. "Okay by me "I say to mom. Looking at Heath and say, "up to you bud, your call?" "Thanks for the invite and I think I will stay. I need to talk to Seth about things." Heath says as he looks at me. "Heath, lets go to my room and talk until dinner is ready. Okay bud?" I say as we head to my room. As we enter my room Heath takes my hand and turns me to him and says, "Seth I have to come clean man." Then he leans in and lightly kisses me on the cheek. I pull back and look at him surprised. "Seth I am sorry," Heath turns to walk out the door. I reach for his arm and tell him to stop. I reach to close the door and he looks scared. I can see tears welling up in his eyes again. I pull him to me and hug him and say," Heath man why? Why haven't you told me before now?" I lead us to my bed, we sit side by side and he starts to cry again and I hug him to my side trying to calm him. "Seth I have admired you for some time, even before David died. I was jealous of the two of you. I feel guilty about that." Heath looks me in the eyes as he says this. I lean in and lightly brush his lips with mine, Gently and with love. I let my tongue lick at his lips and I feel them open to the intruder. I let my tongue wander to new places, as I taste him. The essence of him is like a drug. I feel light headed and wobbly as we break the kiss. I lean back on the bed, and say, "Man that was so good. you are a great kisser Heath." Heath says nothing. He is just sitting there, staring into space. "Heath are you ok with what just happened?' I say as I sit up and look at him. "Heath? Are you in there? Heath?" I reach for his shoulder and shake him. "Oh man that was fabulous Seth," he finally speaks, his face is flushed and his breathing is deep and ragged as he tries to calm down. He falls back on the bed and I can see he has a big problem. He has a major tent in his shorts and from the looks of it it's easy to look at. I reach out and place a hand on his leg and he looks at it and then smiles as he looks up at me. I squeeze his leg. I can feel the muscle under the tanned skin. "Heath sits up. we need to talk bud," I say as I take my hand from his leg. "Heath there are some things we need to clear before anything happens here with us. Don't you agree?" I ask looking in his eyes. "Seth you are right. We need to know this is right and where this will go before we make a move towards anything more than that kiss." Heath says. "Heath you should know that I maybe leaving here soon dad has been offered a job back east and we aren't sure when or if we will leave," I say. "Great! Just great!" Heath starts to cry again. He slips from the bed to the floor and rests his back on the bedside. "I finally have a chance at love. And he may or may not be leaving me." "Just my fucking luck," Heath cries. "Dinner in 10 minutes. You boys get ready," mom yells at us. "We will talk to my folks about this ok?" I say as we walk to the bathroom to clean up for dinner. As we walk in the dining room we are met by a surprise. There sits my parents and Heath parents looking at us as we walk in the room hand in hand. "Hey guys! Surprise!" Our parent's say in unison. We stop in our tracks and let go of each other's hands like there is a fireball burning our skin. "Mom, dad, what are you doing here?" Heath almost screams, he says it so loud. Well! I will stop here for now. Hope you like this installment. I know that there isn't much hot action in it, but can't always have it. tbc Contact me: sethtubby@yahoo.com
