Give me a Chance

Ben

I woke the next morning in Chance’s arms, his morning wood nestled in my ass crack. I wiggled my ass and Chance pulled me tight against him.

He said, “good morning.”

I reached around and started to stroke his cock, “morning to you too.”

I started to rub his precum in my hole, every now and then I like to get fucked by Chance and he seemed to enjoy being a top. He pulled me on top of him as we were making out, I sat on top of him and lubed his dick so I could ride him while we looked each other in the eyes. I bounced up and down on his lap and a few minutes later my ass was filled with his seed, and I had shot all over Chance’s chest and stomach.

After a quick shower were talking as we had a cup of coffee, I asked, “did you think about us moving in together?”

Chance asked, “so do you just want a roommate to share expenses, or do you want something more?”

“Chance, of course I want something more, you will never be just a roommate to me, I really care about you, I want to be with you.”

 Chance said “what about quitting stripping? I don’t want you to do something, just because I want you to, you need to do what you want to do.”

“Chance, I don’t know that I want to strip, it just worked out that way. Yes, I would quit just because you want me to, that is what you do for somebody you care about.”

“Ben, you always surprise me, I care about you too.”

I said, “just think about moving in with me, I want to be with you.”

Chance smiled, “I will think about it Ben, I do like the idea.”

I gave him a kiss as he got up to leave, Chance said, “I have to get to work at the teen center, stop by around six and we can eat together before you go to clean the gym.”

I said, “I would like that, there is something that I need to do today, I am not sure how long it will take. I should be done in time for us to eat together.”

Chance kissed me, “see you later.”

I got ready to head out, my stomach was turning, and my mind was racing, I had no idea how my afternoon was going to go. I rode around the corner and Jeff was working in the front yard, he looked up from his work, “Hi, Ben.”

“Hi Jeff, how are you?”

“I am ok, what about you?”

“Look Jeff, I just came by to tell you and Lynn that I am sorry for how I left last summer.”

Jeff looked at me, “Well, Lynn isn’t here right now, she went to get some groceries, she should be home soon.”

“Well, I can wait, or if you would rather, I could leave and came back.”

“No Ben, don’t leave, I feel that I owe you an apology too.”

“Why, what for?”

“Well, I wasn’t the friendliest guy when you moved in, I could have made more of an effort.”

“Jeff, that’s ok, I really didn’t try too hard either.”

“It’s just that the first time we got a foster kid, Lynn just got so attached and then the mother was able to get them back, it broke her heart. I just figured that a teen like you was just going to cause trouble.”

“Well, I hope that I wasn’t too much trouble.”

“No, you weren’t, but Lynn still got attached and, in the end, got her heart broke again, I guess that’s why I acted the way I did. I didn’t want to get hurt too.”

“I’m sorry I wish I had done things differently.”

Jeff said, “I wish that I would have handled the whole thing better too, but you really hurt Lynn the way you left.”

I hung my head, “I know Jeff, I can’t tell you how sorry I am about that, I hope that Lynn can understand. I just kept expecting you to tell me it was time to move out, and I just thought that it would be easier for me to leave on my own.”

Jeff said, “Ben we would have never kicked you out like that, we should have talked about it and made a plan together, weather I showed it or not, I did care, we both cared about you.”

I started to tear up, “God Jeff, I am so sorry, the last thing I wanted to do was to hurt anyone, especially you and Lynn.”

Jeff was wiping his eyes too, “It’s ok Ben, you are here now, please stay and tell all this to Lynn.”

I don’t know how but Jeff and I were now in an embrace, we had never shown any emotion toward each other, but I now felt closer to him. We were still hugging when Lynn’s car pulled in the driveway. We broke our embrace as Lynn shut the car door, I looked at her and she was already crying.

I walked toward her wiping my tears, “I am so sorry Lynn.”

She wrapped me in a hug, “I know Ben, I know.”

Jeff said, “let’s go in the house, we don’t need the neighbors seeing us standing here crying like babies.”

We went in the house and had a long talk, two tear filled hours later I had the closest thing to parents that I had in my entire life. We made plans for Chance and me to come over Sunday for supper, over the next few months we had a standing date for Sunday supper. We would alternate between their house and Chance’s dad’s house. Chances dad had started dating a nice lady and we were soon one big happy family. I regret that it took me a year to come to my senses and talk to Jeff and Lynn.

Chance moved in with me a few weeks later, I was loving waking up in arms every morning. He would go into work at the teen center about noon and I would usually take him some supper before I went to the gym to clean. I showed up a little bit early one day, Chance was working with the boys’ basketball team on some drills. He came over and said, “hey, we have a few more drills, we can eat in a few minutes.”

I said, “no problem, I’ll just watch you work for a while.”

He went back to the kids, I saw a kid sitting over to the side with a notebook. I walked over to sit next to him.

I said, “hi, I’m Ben.”

He kept his head on his notebook, “hi.”

I asked, “what’s your name?”

“Jordan”

“Nice to meet you Jordan, what are you working on there?”

“It’s just a picture that I am drawing.”

“That’s cool, I like to draw too, can I see it?”

He paused and tried to close the book, then he looked at me and gave me the notebook. He was drawing one of the players taking a shot at the basket, it was very good.

I smiled, “Jordan, this is great, you are really good at drawing.” I started to flip through the pages, he had pictures of cars, trucks, planes, buildings, and people. I added, “these are all very good.”

I small smile came across his lips. I heard Chance blow his whistle, “ok guys that’s enough for today, if your parents are here you can go, if not you can shoot around until they are.”

Chance came over to me and Jordan, “hey Jordan, I see you have met my friend Ben.”

Jordan nodded his head. I said, “Jordan was just showing me some of his drawings, he is really talented.”

Chance looked surprised, “really, can I see them.” He flipped through the pages. “Jordan these are very good.”

From across the gym we heard, “Hey Jordan, are you ready to go?”

He jumped up, “yeah dad, be right there.” He shoved the notebook in his bag and ran to meet his dad.

We went to eat our supper, I asked Chance, “what is Jordan’s story.”

He replied, “I’m really not sure, he just started coming here a couple of weeks ago, I know he doesn’t have a mom and they just moved into the area. His dad wanted him to play basketball with the other kids, but Jordan isn’t too interested.”

I asked, “Chance do you think that there are other kids here that would like to try art instead of sports?”

He gave me a puzzled look, “what do you mean?”

“Well, maybe there are other kids who might like to do other things than play sports, you know like drawing.”

“Yeah, you might be right, there are some kids that never come to the gym area, they go the classrooms and study or go play board games. I just work with the sports kids. Jordan is the only one that sits in the gym without playing with the rest of the team.”

I asked, “do you think your boss would let me volunteer to come in a few hours a week and work with kids like Jordan?”

“Ben, that would be awesome, he is always looking for more activities for all the kids, I bet he would hire you.”

“Chance, do you really think so?”

“Yes, I do, I will talk to him tomorrow morning.”

I gave my notice at the Gemini Club the following week and started working at the teen center. As soon as Jordan walked in on my first day, I said, “Hey Jordan, do you have any new drawings for me to look at?”

He paused, looked toward the gym, and said, “I guess, I have one.”

I motioned him to the classroom that I was using, “come on in here and let me have a look.”

He handed me his notebook turned to a picture with perfectly drawn Mustang, which I found was his favorite car. I gave Jordan a new sketch book and a box of new pencils that I bought, “these are for you, when you fill this book up let me know and I will get you a new one.”

He looked up at me, “really, I can have these?”

“Yes, they are all yours, how about we sit here, and I can give you a few pointers and we can really get this Mustang looking good.”

His face lit up, we sat and started to draw and talk, within a few hours other kids were coming in to see what we were doing, and I gave them pads and pencils and we were off and running. By the end of the week, I had eight to ten kids sitting around the table drawing, some good, some not, but I was loving working them all. Soon many of the kids were even going to Jordan for help on their drawings, he was really coming out of his shell.

We were finishing up on Friday and Jordan was helping me put away some of the supplies, his dad walked in the door.

“Jordan, what are you doing in here, why aren’t you in the gym?”

I saw the fear in his face, he stammered, “I was just helping Ben put these away.”

“I brought you here to play sports and be part of a team, not hide in here.”

I stepped up, “excuse me, I asked Jordan to help me, it’s ok that he is in here.”

“Who are you?”

“I am Ben, I have been working with Jordan on his drawings, and your name is?”

“I’m Ted, Jordan’s dad, what are you talking about, drawings?”

“Well Ted, Jordan is a very good artist, he is even very good at helping the younger kids with their drawing.”

“What is going on? I brought Jordan here because he needed to interact with other kids, and best way to do that is to join a sports team.”

I said, “Ted, you’re right sports are good way to interact with others, but not all kids like sports.”

Ted said, “well that is how I made friends in school.”

“That may be, but if you just look at some of Jordan’s drawings.” I handed him the notebook, he started to flip through the pages.

He looked at Jordan, “you did all these?”

Jordan nodded, “Yes dad.”

“Why haven’t you ever shown these to me before?”

“I didn’t think you would like them.”

“Jordan, these are really good, I love them. I just wanted you to have friends and do what you enjoy. I just assumed because I liked sports that you should too.”

I saw Jordan stand up a little taller, “I do like sports dad, I just like drawing better and let’s face it I am kind of a klutz.”

Ted chuckled, “Jordan, I want you to do what you want, you just have to tell me what that is. I am trying my best since your mom died but you have to help me too.”

“I will dad.” They hugged as a tear came to my eye.

Ted turned to me, “Ben, thank you.” He shook my hand and took Jordan’s hand, “come on son, you can show me the rest of your drawings when we get home.”

As they walked out the door, I saw Chance and our boss watching me. Chance came over and gave me hug, “I am proud of you.”

The boss said, “Yes, me too Ben, you handled that very well. I would like to you to seriously consider getting your degree and working here full time, I will give you the same deal as I did with Chance.”

“Thank you, sir, I will think about it.” He walked out the door.

I turned to Chance, “I think I know what I want to do, I do want to go to college and work with these kids full time, what do you think?”

Chance smiled, “of course, I think that is a great idea, kids like Jordan make this all worthwhile."
