UNEXPECTED VISITOR



PART SEVEN


The barbeque was going well with about a dozen people, mostly men, now standing around chatting with others or starting to eat like Brett and my self. Jim and Mick returned to the picnic table with their meals and sat down where they had been before – right opposite us.
The swelling in the front of Mick’s shorts had subsided somewhat by now and he just smiled at us both as he sat down. Jim seemed to sense that we were either unsure about or uncomfortable with, what we had seen as they left the table a few minutes ago. I was a bit surprised when he said “I hope you guys don’t mind, but Mick and I are a couple – a gay couple. We are totally out and most people around here know and accept us.” Brett and I both spoke at the same time “No, not at all”. “It’s quite ok with us” I said. Mick then said that he had seen us looking at him on the job site and noted our smile in return of his. He also had a confession to make – “I know this sounds bad, but last night I was riding my bike around the park fairly late and when I passed your cabin. I stopped near the bedroom window as I thought I heard some noise. I couldn’t help hearing the sounds of pleasure that you two were making. I tell you, it got me very excited.” “Please don’t feel embarrassed.”
Well, Brett and I were dumbfounded and we both went very red in the face. “I don’t know what to say.” I ventured. “I didn’t think about such a possibility.” “You are quite right though. What you heard was the sounds of our joint pleasure.” I went on. “But we are not what you would class as a ‘gay couple’. Maybe later we will explain what is going on between us.” With that, we all got on with our meal in relative silence. By the time we had finished eating, the feeling of embarrassment had eased and we all felt more at ease.
Jim broke the ice by suggesting that we go for a walk around the park to work off the food we had eaten then maybe go for a dip in the pool a bit later. The evening was certainly warm and sounded like a good plan. As we walked, we chatted about various things. We learned that Jim and Mick had met about 2 years ago at the time Jim was working on another building job. He was talking to the caravan park owner about how he could be sending some contractors to stay at the park while in town working on his jobs. It was at that time that the owner, Steve, had asked Jim to look out for any jobs going as his son Mick who was looking for work, maybe in the house painting trade. Mick gained some experience when they bought the park as there was a lot of paint work to be done and he, along with his parents, had repainted the insides of most of the cabins themselves. Mick seemed to have a talent in this area of work. Anyway, Jim was introduced to Mick and it wasn’t long before Jim had found him a job with a painter that he used quite often. That was also the time when they ‘discovered’ each other. Mick was twenty and openly gay but not effeminate. In fact, he was very straight acting and seemed to get along well with most people. Jim had felt a strong attraction towards Mick as he was also gay and also straight acting but he didn’t know about Mick at the time.
