MENTORING BRANDON
By Bob

Chapter 11: Being True to My Love and Myself

“Ah, Jon, can we talk somewhere else,” I said knowing that chances were that others would be coming into the bathroom.
“Sure, let’s take a walk,” Jon said as he made his way to the door. “Maybe we can hit the lake and talk.”
There was a very bright glimmer in his eye as he said that. I wasn’t sure whether that was a good idea, but getting out of the washroom was. I followed him as he made his way down the stairs.
As we left the dorm, Jon started to head toward the park and I followed. We didn’t say anything for quite a while. I was very curious about what Jon had begun to say in the washroom. He basically told me he was queer, that he had a roommate and that they were involved with each other. This was a shock as I thought that he was the straightest guy I knew. Then again, that was the impression, I was sure, that most of the guys here at CBS had about Brandon, Dave, Tom, and me.
The silence was killing me and I had to break it. “Okay, Jon, what’s up?” is all I could think of saying. Real cool, I’m sure.
“Bob, I saw you and Brandon the other day near the lake. I could see everything and you two really turned me on. I didn’t think that you were homosexual, but seeing what I saw, I new it was more than just a first time thing,” he began in a very serious tone of voice.
“Then, last night when Tom and Dave didn’t come back to the room and I saw the four of you either naked or half clothed, I realized that all of you were somewhat involved. That got me both mad and excited,” he continued. “You see, my roommate and I have been together since I was here at CBS. He lived in town, but we had a lot of time together at his place. No one knew about it here.”
“Jon, I think that is great,” I interrupted. We were now going through the park and heading toward the lake. I was very nervous about his intentions, but I now realized he just needed to talk. At least I hoped that was all it was.
“You seem a bit nervous, Bob,” Jon said. “Don’t worry, I don’t bite!” he added with a wide smile.
“Oh, I’m sure you don’t,” I responded with an equal smile.
We were about to the area where Brandon and I had been a few days earlier. I noticed that Jon was rubbing his crotch. The bulge was nice, I have to admit, but I was very worried about where he was heading with all of this.
Jon suddenly stopped and turned to me. “Can we talk, Bob?”
“Sure, Jon, that’s no problem.”
We sat down next to the lake, with the sun setting. It was a nice fall evening but was getting a bit cold. We sat there for a while and neither of us spoke. Finally Jon broke the silence.
“I don’t know how to tell Dave that I’m queer, Bob,” he began. “Even now that I know that he is playing around with Dave, at least, I don’t know how to talk to him. He always has looked up to me, being the jock and all, and I worry about how he will react.”
Jon began to tell me all about how he and Dwayne got together. He said he always played the macho type, having the cheerleaders and all the cute girls with him. When he was 15, he made had sex with a girl. He said he had enjoyed it, but that it really didn’t do anything to him. He admitted that he had a difficult time getting his cock hard with her, but when he did, he just went through the motions. Jacking off was more enjoyable, he said and he realized that he didn’t enjoy sex with her.
That same night, after the fiasco (as he put it) with this girl, they went to the local high school basketball game. As they sat in the stands, he saw this rather good-looking guy looking at him from two rows over. He smiled and Jon smiled back. At half time, Gloria, his “girlfriend” and a few of her friends headed for the washroom. He decided to just stay and watch the pom-pom squad do their routine.
As they went through the various songs, he noticed that this guy was still looking at him. Jon smiled and went back to watching the pom-pom program. The next thing he knew, sitting next to him was the same guy. He introduced himself as Dwayne.
They began to talk and Jon was very interested in him as a friend. They seemed to share the same interests as Dwayne was on the local football and wrestling team. Gloria returned and asked if Jon minded if she went home with a girlfriend as they were going to have a sleepover.
