The new sleeping arrangements worked out satisfactory to all, except for Little Tim. Tim had not been celibate since he was 12. For the sake of Robert and Daniel, he bit his lip Luckily for him, the Coach had returned from his trip, before Tim had to go back to college; and he spent a few days with his lover! When Tim went back to college, he was rooming with Robert. Tim and Robert were the "Stars" of the Freshman Gymnastics team, and had used their influence, as such, to change their room assignments. This was in the days when scholarship students were assigned Dorm rooms, "Jocks" were pared with other "Jocks," and "Books" with other "Books." Those were the days when "Jocks Rule!" When they were all moved into their new room, Tim said to Robert: "We have to talk!" Tim sat at his desk and Robert sat on his bed. Robert said: "So talk!" The two boys were in the privacy of their locked room, and could talk freely. Tim turned the radio up loud. Tim said: "I have two things to talk to you: Our relationship, and Daniel. You are now in the same position I have been in. You now know what it is like to love someone, and have sex with someone else. Emotional commitment, or love, is totally different from sexual attraction. I am in love with the Coach, and I have sex with you. "I want you to be firm in your belief that when we have sex, I am not thinking of him! Through the Coach and the Club, I have learned that when you have sex with someone, it is a getting together for mutual pleasure. When we have sex, no matter what the position, I am thinking of engendering pleasure in you. By doing that, I get my rocks off. "That is how I think of it!" replied Robert. "The second thing we need to talk about is Daniel, whom I recognize you have an emotional commitment to. When you look at your sex partner and your dick get hard, that's sexual attraction. When you look at your sex partner, and your heart thumps, that is emotional commitment! If your lucky, when you look at your sex partner, your dick will get hard, and your heart will thump! Eric and I recognize that your relationship with Daniel is an emotional commitment, the "L" word being unpopular! "I have known Daniel all my life and he is the younger brother of my best friend; Eric and I go back to the day we first started kindergarten. We hold nothing from each other. Which brings us to Daniel. As subtle as possible, the Coach, Eric, Cal and myself have been protecting him. He is gay, and had a difficult time dealing with it. He is also very intelligent, in fact he is of genius level! We expect earth-shatter things from him, if he grows up stable. "We come from a school district that has many very intelligent young people, both male and female, above average intelligence. Daniel makes us all look like idiots. Through the Coach, I have learned that teachers care, and they talk to each other. Daniel's brightness was noted in middle school, and the high school teachers knew that an extremely bright one was coming their way. In the High School teacher's room, the teachers debated the best way of handling a "Super Bright" one. The Coach used his rapport with the Principal, the other teachers, and the local Junior College, to devise a curriculum for the very bright. The teachers knew that singling out "brightness" was wrong, so a number of students, including Daniel, were invited to participate in the experimental program. This program was noted by the State Department of Education, and was adopted state wide, and, after adaptation, resulted in the "AP" program. Thus Daniel's intelligence was dealt with. "We have, also, been helping him dealing with his homosexuality, which seems to be under control, and also encouraging his brightness. Although Daniel was not a virgin, you are the first person he has been attracted to, in a nonsexual way, as far as we know! It was also apparent to us that your relationship with him is more than sexual attraction. It seems to be an emotional commitment, which is why we encouraged his being with you. We all realized that Daniel being with you was good for Daniel. "We have been protective of Daniel, from a distance, because he is a fragile personality. You are solid and stable. I had a talk with Eric and told him that I think you are good for him. If you have a long term relationship with him, you must know that protecting Daniel is a part of that relationship. "I don't want to scare you off, but you must know what you are getting into." Robert sat there, absorbing what Tim had said. He responded: "That's a mouth full!" He sat there contemplating, then said: "Let me reassure you. My feelings for Daniel are genuine! I recognize that he is special! Part of my attraction is his need to be protected, and I want to protect him. He is not obvious about his intelligence, but I saw right through his act of trying to appear "Normal". He is very smart, and I agree with you that he is capable of great things. I hope to see him do great things. "The "L" word is not popular, but I think I love him. As far as our relationship is concerned, yours and mine, we will have to play it by "Ear." I think we can continue being together because I also believe, as you do, that the sex act is a coming together for mutual pleasure and a relief of sexual tension! Also, I have met and experienced the Coach, and understand how he has your heart. "I have one question for you. I saw your Uncle Mark's farm, and the economic strata you came from, and I don't think that farm produces enough income to send you to this college, even with a sports scholarship. Why is it that you are not concerned about money?" Tim now had to think! After a few moments, he replied: "Because of my work in films, the Club pays my tuition, room, and board. However, there is a second reason I am at this school with a business major. Robert, I like you very much, and if I answer that question truthfully, it might change our relationship. You must promise me that my answer will not affect our friendship!" Robert answered immediately: "Tim I like you very much. I don't care if you are a millionaire in disguise, or "Dirt Poor." You are a good friend and, even though I am involved with Daniel, I am sexually attracted to you. In addition, you are connected to the love of my life. I promise that anything you tell me will be a secret between us, and our relationship will not be affected!" After additional minutes of silence, Tim began to talk: "I don't bandy it about but when I reach 21, I will be a multi-millionaire! I was raised as a farm boy, and that is the way I think!" Robert recognized the truth in Tim's simple statement, and his jaw (figuratively) hit the floor. All this time he had been having sex with a millionaire, and did not know it! He was filled with wonder and asked: "How?" Tim replied: "It is a long story, not of my doing. As you know, my parents were killed in a car accident when I was less than a year old. I was raised by my uncles. Both my parents were of genius level, and they were interested in computers. While they were at college, they developed a program which they sold for several million dollars. Their college also got a piece of the returns on their work. "Every time someone boots up a computer, they are using my parent's program. When I was born, they formed a legal corporation for the benefit of themselves and any children they had. The money they had was invested with a premier New York Investment Company supervised by a first rate legal firm. As they died at an early age, I am the only beneficiary of that corporation. When I reach 21, the money they had will come to me!. The starting amount was several million dollars and it has been gaining interest all these years. Plus the investment company, over the years, has invested the money in other companies. I was told that I owned a majority of stock in a company called "Apple." In addition, The Legal Office has been sending a stipend to my Uncle Mark to raise me. "I grew up as a farm boy, and that is how I think! I am majoring in business administration because when I reach 21, I will be in charge of managing that money. I have a good idea as to what I want to do with the profit!" Robert was astounded! He asked: "What do you want to do with available profit?" Tim continued: "The usual things: new cars for all; pay off all bills, including all mortgages; take care of my Uncle's retirement; college educations for my cousins; new computers for all. That sort of thing! Then, any available money will be used for the Club. Part of the reason I am in college is to learn how much I can spend, how to manage the money. I do not anticipate any radical change in my lifestyle. I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth, nor raised that way. As long as my basic needs are taken care of, I don't see any need for additional conspicuous consumption. "There is also the Coach to consider. He is my "Mr. Right" and he is dedicated to two thongs: Education, and the good things the Club does. When I have access to that money, he and I will work together! Right now, that large amount of money is far away from my everyday life. In the future, it will be used for the Club's good programs." Robert sat there, flabbergasted!
