Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2024 11:17:01 -0700 From: Jeremy Taccone Subject: Dylan and Alex, Part 4 After a long silence that wasn't at all awkward due to our euphoric blissful emotional state, Alex asked me while gazing lovingly into my eyes, "What's happening." Although it was a vague rhetorical question, I knew exactly what he was referring to because I was feeling the same way. Right then I remembered something funny my friend told me -- ADIDAS -- All day I dream about sex! But it wasn't that. I felt something more in my heart than in my loins. However, at that moment, if Alex had taken me into the living room, thrown me on his Berber carpet, and made love to me right then and there, I probably would have gone along with it. But Alex didn't do that. Instead, he caressed my check with his finger, kissed my forehead, and kneaded my biceps with both of his hands. Looking away, then looking back into my eyes, Alex was the first one to say it. "I love you," Alex whispered. Again, I was speechless. What was this effect this guy was having on me? I've always ... well ... ever since puberty ... wanted someone my age to do this ... to say something like this to me. Where's that guy been all this time? But Alex is here ... now ... doing these things to my body, saying these things to me, and loving me. Really loving me! "I love you too," I whispered back. Alex leaned in and kissed me on my lips again ... long and passionately. I was his, and he was leading the way down this rabbit hole to ... who knows where? I felt his fingertips dig painfully into my back as my arms rested on his shoulders and my hands lovingly caressed the back of his head. He really wanted my body ... and me! I was popping a boner bigtime, and so was Alex. Our tongues and erections were dancing together. Finally, Alex released me from his sensuous kiss and said something that brought me out of my reverie and changed the mood of the moment. "I wanted to invite your mom over for dinner after I got settled in, but moms are usually very perceptive, and there's no way I could hide my feelings for you, Dylan. This has never happened to me before ... not with any guy ... not this intense." Mom ... I thought to myself. I guess today's not Saturday or Sunday because I didn't see her when I got up this morning. She must be at work. Neither of us do much shopping because almost everything we get is left on our front doorstep by Amazon. "I have an idea. It's summer, so why don't you host a barbecue in your backyard? We'll have more room to move around. Maybe I can bring a couple of my friends and we could play some yard games to lighten the mood. Food could be buffet style, and we could spread out and eat anywhere instead of awkwardly at a table all together. We could even eat in the pool and eat from floating tables in your pool! I've done that before. We have some floating tables. I can bring them." "Know what I want for my pool?" "What?" Dylan asked. "A canopy, at least to cover part of the shallow end. You have an awesome tan, but I burn so easily." "My tan fades in the winter, and I sometimes burn and peel too. A canopy is a great idea." "I'll get one at Home Depot. Wanna go with me?" Alex asked. "Sure. Hey, what day is it?" "Thursday, which is good because my car is still in Boston, and I need take the truck back and rent a car." "Can you have a car delivered? Hey, get a red convertible sports coupe!" Dylan exclaimed. "No. I'll get an SUV, unless you want to contribute from your wages." "That's okay." I went home and threw on a pair of silk running shorts and a tank top. The truck rental place didn't have any cars to rent, so I called an Uber and we went to a car rental place where Alex found a burnt orange Hyundai Kona hybrid. "My first car is going to be hybrid or all electric." "Good boy," Alex said as he reached over and placed his right hand on my left inner thigh, squeezing playfully, and leaving his hand there as we drove to Home Depot, his fingers gently caressing my leg very near my balls making me wish I had removed my speedo before putting on my shorts. At Home Depot, Alex surprised me by getting not one, but two things -- a small triangular canopy and some rope lighting. "This is going to make the party more fun," Alex said holding up the rope lighting. "Whatcya gonna do with it?" "Two things -- light up my patio and enjoy a show." "What show?" I asked. "You!" "Me? ... Oh ... I think I understand. You really love my shaved pits, huh?" Alex just smiled mischievously. Part five will be coming in a few days.
