Date: Thu, 06 Mar 2014 23:18:28 -0600 From: liviii@hushmail.com Subject: Hitching a Ride South Hitching a Ride South A Story I guess I finally decided to run away when I got transferred back to that nasty group home in east Memphis for the third time. I was tired of school where I never learned anything, tired of getting shuffled around, tired of getting beaten up by older boys. Hell, I got beaten up by younger boys. I'm that small. And nobody believed I was 13, either. They assumed I was 10 or 11 and treated me like that. It was disgusting. I did make friends with a boy named Patrick once, but he stole some stuff and got put in juvie, so then I didn't even have him. On top of it all, I'm gay, pretty much, and I got called "faggot" more often than by my real name. So one Saturday I set out. I packed my backpack with some clothes and fruit, took what money I had (about $20), and rode city buses as far south into Mississippi as I could get. In Southaven I got off the bus, made my way to I-55, and stuck out my thumb. I wasn't sure where I was going, but it had to be someplace warm. Sleeping on the street is not much fun when it's cold outside. I stood there for what seemed like hours. Nobody wanted to pick up a hitchhiker, and there were cops around so I had to watch for them and kind of hide in the woods when I saw one coming. It was difficult. Eventually this guy in a big car stopped, and I walked over to the passenger-side window. He rolled down the electric window from his side. "Where you headed, sweetheart?" he asked. "L.A.," I told him off the top of my head. It seemed like as good a destination as any. The "sweetheart" thing seemed a little weird, but I didn't say anything about it. It was going to get dark soon, and I wasn't getting any rides, so I didn't want to mess things up with this guy. "I can take you as far as Jackson," he said. I got in. I didn't know anybody in Jackson, of course, and didn't want to go there -- who the hell wants to be in Mississippi? - but is was away from Memphis and in the right general direction. I was planning to follow 55 down to I-10, then decide which way I wanted to go, east to Florida or west to Cali. Both South Beach and Venice seemed like good places for a gay kid to find friends. And there is New Orleans too, and it was a lot closer, though I didn't really want to go there. The guy introduced himself as David, and he was not a southerner, as you could tell from his speech. He was a salesman, sold auto parts to small stores and mechanics. His home base was in Maryland, but he wasn't headed home soon; after Jackson he was going to Birmingham and Atlanta before hitting the coast and going back north. He had a route to follow to cover his assigned area. I'm not southern either, by the way. My parents and I had just moved to Memphis from Ohio when they had the crash. Ran straight into a semi, head-on. I heard that they were going 60. The trucker was going about the same speed in the opposite direction. He jackknifed his truck trying to stop, but it was impossible. My parents died instantly. And my father wasn't drunk or anything, just not paying attention. So there I was all of a sudden, 13 with no parents, no brothers and sisters, nobody. Shit, hell, fuck and all that. I have a grandfather someplace, and they said they were trying to find him, but they didn't seem to try very hard. In any case, nobody had seen or heard from him in years, so there was really nothing to go on. I told David my name was Chris. He seemed like a decent guy, and we were getting along pretty good. I told him my story, though I left out some parts, I guess. David was very sympathetic. He played country music on the radio. Not my thing, but at least it wasn't the rap shit that the boys I'd been staying with preferred. Then David did something really odd. He reached out and put his arm behind my shoulders and kind of played with my hair. I hadn't had a boyfriend yet, but I could tell what this guy was up to. I started to get pretty worried. I mean, here was this old guy, probably 40 or something, and he's coming on to me. Finally I said, "Um, Chris is short for Christopher. I'm a boy." This was not the first time I'd had to tell somebody that. "Oh," David answered. He pulled his arm back. As I suspected, he had thought I was a girl. "You can just let me off at the next exit," I told him. He just got quiet and drove on for a while, seeming to think things over. "No, I'll take you to Jackson. It's all right," he said. "That is, if it's all right with you." Of course it was all right with me. He was taking me a long distance. So I told him so. Now that things were cleared up, there didn't seem to be any danger; he was a nice enough guy, as I said. Well, don't you know, David's arm was right back behind me. "You're a very good-looking boy," he said, adding, "you have pretty hair." He was playing with it again. I hadn't had a haircut in a while, and my hair was pretty long, I guess. It is kind of wavy and dirty blond color. "Um, thanks," I said. I didn't know what else to say. I guess if he wanted to put his arm around me and play with my hair it wasn't going to hurt anything. "Do you mind? My doing this?" he asked. "No, it's OK." "Do you have a girlfriend?" "No, not really." He grinned. "Boyfriend?" "No," I said nervously. I didn't tell him I was gay, didn't want to. I didn't know how he would react, though he seemed to be figuring it out on his own. I didn't know what would happen. Would he get angry? Hurt me, leave me by the side of the road? It didn't seem probable, but this was a guy I'd never met before that day. I just didn't know what he would do. "I can't believe you're 13," David said. Not the first time I'd heard that, either. "Well, it's true." He pulled his hand back, and we drove on for a while not saying anything. "My wife and I never had any kids. My ex, that is," David finally said. "Did you want any?" "Would have loved to. If we could have had a boy like you." He smiled at me. "She had other ideas. Just liked to have fun. She was great before I married her, but she never settled down. Eventually she ran off with somebody else. Can't say I was sorry to see her go." "I'm sorry," I said. My turn to commiserate. "Eh, whatever. It's not like I miss her." He put his arm back around me, and we drove on like that. We talked about sports and whatever. I don't play anything, of course, I'm too small, don't follow it much either, so David did most of the talking. He was kind of stroking my neck and shoulder by then, and it was distracting. David had played football in high school and college. He was an offensive lineman, alternating between guard and tackle -- the guys who try to screen the quarterback so he can complete a pass or hand-off. David's college team hadn't done very well. All four years he was there were losing seasons; his last year they finished 3-10. David was not picked up by a pro team, and he hadn't really studied much in college, majoring in something useless like geography or art appreciation (I don't remember). He did have the gift of gab whenever he wanted to use it, though, so he ended up in sales. He had done fairly well, though he wasn't ever going to be rich. I looked over at him. He was getting a bit of a gut, but he was still a big guy, in good shape for his age, I guess. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and his biceps were bigger than my thighs. His shoulders were broad and thick, and he was barrel-chested. His chin was firm, his neck thick, and his thighs stretched the fabric of his slacks. Of course I'd never seen him standing up, but he had to be tall; the top of my head just about reached the bottom of his chin. His hair was dark brown and cut short, but he had a lot of it, all over his arms and even poking out from the open collar of his shirt. His nose was sort of crooked, as if it had been broken in a fight and not set right. He was clean-shaven but had a five o'clock shadow. He was the kind of guy that would be pretty scary if he got mad, but every time he looked at me he was smiling. He had a way of raising his eyebrows every time he asked me a question, as if he expected an answer, and it was important that he get it. I was just about the opposite of him in every way. I had on a short-sleeved shirt as well, but my arms were thin and didn't look anything like his. I didn't have much hair yet, either, just a few hairs above my dick. I was wearing shorts, so he could see I didn't have hair on my legs. I couldn't help feeling small sitting next to him. I mean, I am small, but compared to David I was tiny. It kind of made me uncomfortable, but it was exciting at the same time. He was looking me up and down, between glancing at the road, of course. It made me feel kind of shy. He asked me about things I liked, and I answered him without going into details. By that point, it was fully dark, and we were maybe 20-30 miles from Jackson. I told David he could let me off wherever. He just ignored that and asked when I'd eaten last. I told him I'd had an apple that afternoon. I hadn't been thinking about food at all, but as soon as he mentioned it I realized that I was famished. He got off the freeway and pulled into a restaurant. David ordered a steak for himself and fried chicken for me, with fried okra and mashed potatoes, cornbread on the side. I'm not a big fan of the south, but I love southern food. And when I say David ordered for me, I mean that's exactly what he did. I told him what I wanted, and he talked to the waitress. I didn't say a word to her. I noticed that he called me his son. He asked if I had a place to sleep that night. Well, of course not, but I'd run away before and wasn't worried about sleeping outside. He shook his head. "Look," he said, "you're not going to get another ride this time of night. I'm getting a motel room. You can stay with me tonight, and tomorrow morning I'll take you back to the interstate." He added, "Nothing will happen unless you want it to, Christopher." I looked at him, then down at my plate, then back at him again. He had his eyebrows raised again, waiting for my answer. It was a pretty good offer, I decided. "Okay," I said at last, my voice low. He reached across the table and punched me in the shoulder. It was a friendly gesture, but David was such a big guy that he practically knocked me over. "Great! It will be great having someone around." He explained that with his job he was alone almost all the time, which was why he liked to pick up hitchhikers. "I like you, Chris. We can get some popcorn and watch a movie. It'll be fun." We finished up with some pecan pie and were back on the road. Now that my stomach was full, I started to nod off. I had been very much on edge but was calmer now for some reason. It seemed like David was taking care of everything, and there was nothing to worry about. At some point, David got off the interstate and onto city streets. I was actually asleep when he got off the freeway, but the car starting and stopping woke me up. I didn't know Jackson at all and realized that I didn't know where we were or where we were going. David seemed to know, however. As good as his word, David stopped at a store along the way and got a big bag of popcorn, with some Cokes for me and beer for him. The motel was a reasonably nice place, though somewhat off the beaten track and therefore relatively cheap. The desk clerk recognized David; apparently he always stayed there when he was in town. David explained that he was taking his son with him on this trip, so he needed a room for two people. A few minutes later, we were in the room with his suitcase and my backpack. David went to the bathroom to take a leak and clean up some, while I looked at the channel guide on the TV and tried to pick a movie for us. I settled on a war movie of some sort on HBO. Obviously, neither of us would want to watch anything girly. At that point, David came out of the bathroom wearing nothing but his boxer shorts. If anything, he was even bigger and hairier than he looked with clothes on. I tried not to stare at him, but he was an imposing figure. I showed him the movie I'd picked. He said he'd seen it already, but he didn't mind seeing it again. "Why don't you go get freshened up, Chris? We're going to be getting an early start tomorrow. There's plenty of towels and hot water, and the movie doesn't start for half an hour yet." He seemed to think for a minute. "Do you have any shampoo with you? This motel doesn't provide any. You can use mine if not." Of course, I didn't have any; I had forgotten to bring shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, all that stuff. So David dug his shampoo out of his suitcase and handed it to me. I didn't think I was all that stinky, but David was doing nice things for me, so I guess to please him I went and took a shower. It was like I didn't have a choice anyway since he was making the decisions. Not that I minded -- it just seemed natural that he would take charge. Moreover, he had shaved and washed up, though he hadn't showered himself. So he was clean, and I should be too. As I showered, I realized once again that I was potentially in a lot of trouble. David was huge compared to me and could easily do me serious harm. Furthermore, he clearly found me attractive in spite of the fact that he was not homosexual. But in spite of my fear, or perhaps because of it, I was hard as a rock. The situation was scary, but exciting too. And I seemed to get hard at the drop of a hat in any case; that's the way it is when you're 13. So I beat off there in the shower and let one loose. I needed to take the edge off, so to speak. I finished and dried off, then discovered that I'd forgotten to bring my backpack in with me to put clean clothes on. I normally sleep in my underwear anyway, but I didn't want to put the dirty ones back on. Somewhat irritated with myself, I wrapped up in a towel and went out to dig some clean underwear out of the backpack. The TV was on but muted, and David was going over materials for his sales presentation the following day. He looked over at me. "Something wrong, Chris?" he asked. "No, I'm just getting some clothes to wear." "You don't need to get dressed. We're not going anywhere." "I'm just getting some underwear. I don't like to put on dirty clothes." "Oh, OK," he said, but kept looking at me. I hadn't stared at him, but he had no problem looking me over. The towel was fluffy but not that big, so when I wrapped around my waist it left a kind of slit up the side. It didn't leave much to the imagination, I guess. I blushed. I found some briefs and a t-shirt and took them back to the bathroom to get dressed. I was getting hard again and didn't want David to see it, but there didn't seem to be any way out. So I just went back out and put the dirty clothes in my backpack, trying to ignore his eyes on me the whole time. David had picked his bed and had his sales materials spread all over it, so I went over and laid down on the other one. The movie was going to start in a few minutes. David collected his stuff and put it away. "Coke or beer?" he asked me, holding a can of each in either hand. Beer? Hell, yeah! I hadn't drunk alcoholic beverages very often, but I was very nervous, and the beer would calm me down some. I took a big gulp and almost choked. David grinned. "Take it easy, kid," he said, "you don't want to drown yourself." He took a beer for himself and got out the bag of popcorn. "Why don't you come over and sit next to me?" he asked. "That way we can share the popcorn." Well, that was logical, I guess. I mean, we couldn't really pass it back and forth between the two beds without getting up and down. So I grabbed the two pillows from my bed and went over to sit next to David. He found a blanket in the closet and put it over us. That (and the beer) made me feel better. At least we were covered up so we couldn't look at each other then. David put the bag of popcorn between us. The nightstand was on his side, so he had a place to set his beer while I did not. I just held it in my lap. The movie started. The opening scene was a battle. A couple guys were in a foxhole getting shot at and shooting back. The enemy tossed a grenade in the foxhole, killing one guy and injuring the other. It was a very bloody scene. I'd seen violent movies before, of course, but the gore in this one was over the top. I kind of regretted my selection then, but then I thought that all the violence would keep our minds on the movie rather than other things. Other things that I wasn't sure I wanted to get into. Things that I really didn't know much about. I hadn't drunk very much, having only had alcohol on a few occasions, like my parents giving me a glass of champagne on New Years' Eve, that sort of thing, so after one beer I was feeling pretty good. Nevertheless, the movie just got worse and worse as far as all the blood and guts in it. I was like turning away from the goriest parts. David looked over at me. He could tell I wasn't liking the movie that much. He put his arm around me and pulled me closer to him, which made me feel better. When he finished his beer, he got up to get another one for himself, but he got a Coke for me. He said he didn't think I should drink another whole beer right then, but I could have some of his if I wanted. So I took a swig or two from his beer but mostly drank Coke from then on. David kept his arm around me the whole time, and after a while I noticed that his leg was touching mine under the blanket. I didn't know where this was going, but I wanted to find out, sort of, so I didn't pull away from him but didn't encourage him either. I couldn't be sure, but it looked like he was hard under the blanket. Eventually I noticed that David was watching me rather than the movie. He had pulled my head to his chest by then so that I was practically sitting in his lap. We were in contact from head to toe. He was looking down at me so I had to kind of twist my neck to look back at him. "Want to watch something else?" he said, his deep voice soft and gentle. "Could we?" I asked. "I don't really like this movie." I felt like a little kid. "Sure, Christopher." He took the remote and switched over to a comedy. Much better. I drank another beer, and we were both laughing at the show. Then David kissed me on the top of the head. I didn't know what to say or do about that, so I didn't say anything, just snuggled closer to let him know it was okay with me. I guess at that point whatever he wanted to do was fine with me. The commercial came on. I turned on my side facing David and kind of played with the hairs on his chest. He was so furry he was like a huge teddy bear. I looked up at David to see that he was looking down at me with a grin on his face. "We could have more fun with the TV off," he said. "Okay," I answered. "We don't have to do anything you don't want," he went on. "Okay," I repeated. Whatever he wanted was OK with me. Yeah, I was feeling the alcohol. David turned the TV off. The sudden silence felt odd. Nobody was staying in the adjoining rooms, so there was no noise from either side. David put both arms around me then and hugged me close. I tried to hug him back, but I was on top, he was underneath, and I couldn't reach between him and the bed. "You're a very beautiful boy, Christopher," he said. I knew people (some) thought I was pretty, but it had always annoyed me before. Somehow when David said it, though, it sounded like a very nice compliment. "Um, thanks," I told him, not knowing what to say. Returning the compliment didn't seem right -- he was a man, after all, and not beautiful or pretty. I touched his arm. "You have big muscles." He pulled back the blanket, and I climbed all the way on top of him. He covered us back up again. "That's not the only thing that's big about me," he said, grinning. I could feel what he was talking about, between my thighs. It was definitely hard and as big as the rest of him. For that matter, I was hard too, and he had to be able to feel that as well since it was poking his belly. "You don't mind that I'm a boy?" I asked. "Not at all," he replied. He stroked my hair. "You're a very special boy, Christopher. I've never met a boy like you." He reached under my t-shirt and stroked my back. Then he kissed me again, on the lips this time. "So what do I do?" I asked him. "You've never done it before?" I shook my head. "With anybody?" I shook my head again. He looked at me for a minute. "Do whatever you want, sweetie," he said. So I just kind of explored his body. I ran my hand down his cheek to his neck and chest. I sat up on his hipbones and felt both of his strong shoulders with my hands, then followed his big arms down to his wrists. I couldn't reach his hands since they were on me, under my shirt, feeling my sides. I put my hands on his chest and felt the hair between my fingers, then followed the trail down to his bellybutton. David pulled his legs up, and I leaned back against them. I could feel his dick poking me in the back. I ran my hands down his sides, from his armpits to the waistband of his boxers. David, meanwhile, had moved his hands and was stroking my thighs. My legs were folded on either side of him. He pulled me down for another kiss. I could feel his tongue between my lips. He reached up and gently pulled my jaw down, and his tongue entered my mouth. Again, I didn't know what to do. And again, I didn't want him to stop. So I tried to do the same as him and put my tongue in his mouth. That didn't work since I couldn't get past his tongue and lips. I ended up just kind of licking the underside of his tongue while he explored my mouth. David finally broke the kiss and lifted me back into a sitting position. He took ahold of the hem of my shirt and lifted it up. I held up my arms so he could take it off me. It was almost like my mother used to do when I was little and she was giving me a bath. He tossed it by the side of the bed. He felt my shoulders and arms, then put his hands on my chest, slowly reaching around to my back. They kept moving lower and lower. When he reached the waistband of my briefs, he continued down outside the cloth, squeezing my bottom. I laid back down on top of him, and we kissed some more. I seemed to be learning how it was done, or at least David seemed happy with the way I was doing it. He kept running his hands over my back, down over my underwear-covered bottom to the top of my thighs and back up again. It seemed like he was doing all the work, and I wasn't doing all that much for him. I reached behind me and gave his cock a squeeze. David moaned. "It's better if we're naked, sweetie," he said. Wow. It seemed like it was all fun and games up to that point, but if we were naked together it would be serious. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go all the way yet, whatever that was. But I didn't want to disappoint David either. And I was horned up like crazy. So I just said "okay" again. I guess he could hear the worry in my voice. "I won't hurt you," he reassured me. "We can stop whenever you want. If I do anything you don't like, tell me and I'll stop." I answered him by climbing off the bed and pulling my briefs off. The blanket was thrown to the side in the process, so I could see David in full. His cock was enormous, or so it seemed to me, and it was making a big tent in his boxers. He teased me by pulling his shorts partly off, then pulling them back up again, smirking the whole time. I laughed at him, then grabbed the waistband of his boxers and pulled them down myself. He made an act of trying to stop me, but he wasn't trying hard at all, and it wasn't long before I had his underwear off and was waving them triumphantly in the air, grinning at him. David reached out and grabbed me, pulling me back onto the bed. I landed with a bounce, giggling, then was back on top of him in a flash. He was right, it was better this way. We started kissing again, but while David's hands were all over my body, I was just hugging him and kind of moving my hips against him, grinding my hard dick into his belly. His cock was moving between my thighs, going between my butt cheeks on each upstroke. I knew what he was after (I knew the mechanics from the Internet, of course), but there was no way it was going to happen. It was physically impossible. He was just too big and I was too small. I worried that I wouldn't be able to please him. By then I was sure he wasn't going to force me, but I didn't want to have to say "no" and disappoint him. Before I could really finish that thought, however, David took the lead again. "Turn around, sweetie," he said. I didn't understand right away what he meant, but eventually I was pointed the opposite way, toward his feet, while my feet were above his head, hitting the headboard. And I was face to face with the monster itself. I didn't really know how big it was, but I was pretty sure it was above average. This was a whole new part of him that I hadn't explored before, so I ran my hands from his knees down to his groin, then handled his balls. They were the size of ping-pong balls but covered by a forest of hair. They felt very warm in my hands. For his part, David was running his hands across my back, then down over my naked bottom and down my thighs, then back up again. "Kiss it," he said, his voice different this time. It was an order, not gentle at all. In fact, it was almost a growl. I took his cock in my right hand and held it away from his body, then planted a kiss right on the end of it. "Oh, yeah, kid, keep that up," he said, so I kissed the tip again. I then pulled it to one side and kissed it all the way down the shaft, then pulled it to the other side and kissed it all the way back up. David definitely liked that but did not reciprocate; in fact, given the difference in our sizes it would have been difficult for him to do so. His interest seemed to lie elsewhere in any case. I felt wetness on my bottom, then realized he was licking me back there. This man was licking my butt! It was the wildest thing I'd ever experienced, even better than the roller coasters at Cedar Point. I decided to top him. I took the end of his cock in my mouth and sucked on it. "Oh my God, Chrissie, that's good ... keep that up, use your hands too," he said. I didn't even mind him calling me by a girl's name. He liked what I was doing, and it was a big boost to my ego. I didn't know what I was doing, but somehow I was doing it right anyhow. David pulled my butt cheeks apart and started licking between them. Of course, I was clean from showering earlier, but still ... the idea that a man was licking my bottomhole, apparently without a care in the world, about set me off. I knew that if I touched my dick, or David did, I would erupt then and there -- and I didn't want things to end yet. I sucked him harder and stroked him while doing so. He moaned. Not long after I felt another sensation behind me. Something was poking around my bottomhole, and it wasn't a tongue. David was putting his finger inside me. It was wet, my hole was too, and it slipped in easily. I was almost dizzy. I sucked David as hard as I could, then remembered reading about using your tongue, so I licked the underside of his dickhead as I sucked on it. He was leaking like crazy, and I was slurping it all down like soda from a straw. David entered me with two fingers then, and I couldn't hold back. I shot all over David's chest and belly without even touching myself. I was sorry I couldn't stop myself since David hadn't come yet, so I continued with what I was doing. And David continued with what he was doing. He was rubbing something inside me that was making me wild in spite of the fact that I'd come already. At last David came too. "Arrgh," he sort of "said," though it was more of a growl. The volume of his stuff was surprising. It filled my mouth, so I pulled off and watched the rest of it spurt out. It was all over my face and neck, all over his groin, even running down his cock. I ended up swallowing what was in my mouth since I didn't know what else to do with it. We laid there for a few minutes, both too exhausted to move. He slapped me on the butt. "Get back up here, Chrissie," he said. I turned back around to face him. "God, you are so pretty with a face full of cum," he said. He licked some of it off my face and kissed me. After a while, we went into the bathroom to clean up. It was a bath this time. David got in first, then I got in and sat in his lap while he washed me; then I got off, he sat up, and I washed him. He did not get fully hard in the bath, but he wasn't completely soft either. I, meanwhile, got hard as a rock once more. He had me stand up and beat off in front of him, stroking his cock the whole time as he watched. Then he told me to do the same to him, so I stroked him with my hand until he came a second time as well. We eventually got clean somehow, and dried off. David went out and put his boxers on. I went to put my underwear back on as well. He stopped me. "I want you to stay naked," he said. "I like looking at you, Chrissie." So that's what I did. And I never got back into my bed that night. I got in bed with David and rolled onto my side. He moved up behind me and put his arm over me. We fell asleep like that. The next morning, David took me to breakfast down the street. I was afraid he would call me "Chrissie" in public, but he didn't. I guess the rest of the story isn't all that important. Suffice to say, I never got to L.A. or even New Orleans. But I did get to Birmingham, and Atlanta, and Charleston ... (The End) Thanks for reading. If you have any comments, send them to me at liviii@hushmail.com.
