Teddy
I walked to the door and didn’t see anyone in the hall. Maybe I just imagined seeing something. I turned back to see Brian covered in cum and chuckled. I said, “maybe we should just take a shower.”
He laughed, “yeah, that might be a good idea.”
I double checked that there was no one in the hall and we streaked to the bathroom for a quick shower. We went back to my room and changed the sheets on the bed. I was going to do laundry tomorrow anyway. Brian and I cuddled under the covers for the last time and drifted off to sleep.
All too soon the alarm clock broke our slumber. Brian had an early flight, so we had to get going. I was able to hold it together as I pulled up to the passenger drop off. I gave Brian a final kiss before we got out of the car. I helped him get his bags out of the back seat and gave him a hug.
He was fighting back his tears too, he said, “I’ll call when I get in.”
I forced a smile, “you better.”
We shared a final hug and Brian turned to walk into the terminal. I got in my car and the tears immediately started to flow. I wiped the back of my hand across my eyes and pulled out into the Sunday morning traffic. I took the long way home, hoping that Brian would be calling as soon as I got home, saying he had changed his mind and that he wanted me to come back to the airport to pick him up. Maybe after my first day of school, I will hate it and catch the next plane to San Diego. Grandpa’s words played in my head again and I knew this was the right thing for me and for Brian. I drove around town until I had run out of tears, and I thought the puffiness around my eyes had gone away. One more trip around the block and I was ready to walk into the house.
I smelled breakfast cooking as I walked in the door, at least our Sunday morning tradition was still going, even though we were now down to three people.
CJ said, “hey buddy, are you doing, ok?” He walked to me and wrapped me in a big hug. Of course, the waterworks started again.
I took a deep breath, “yeah, I’ll be fine. Thanks for caring.”
Wendy gave me a hug, “of course we care Teddy, we’ll always be here for you.”
I smiled, “I’m sorry if we were a little loud last night.”
Wendy said, “I didn’t hear a thing until CJ woke me up when he came back from the bathroom.” She turned to him and asked, “what were you doing putting clothes in the hamper?”
CJ turned red, “oh, I tripped over a shirt I left on the floor, I was just putting that in the hamper.”
Wendy chuckled, “I have always told you it was easier to put clothes in the hamper when you take them off.”
CJ looked at me and rolled his eyes, “yes dear.”
Wendy turned back to the stove to dish up breakfast. She said, “I’m going to have to get used to cooking for less people now that Meg, Brad and Brian are gone. There’s plenty, so you two better be hungry.”
I laughed, “at least we’ll have fewer dishes to do after we eat.”
CJ changed the subject, and we were soon laughing and joking like old times. Brian was still in the back of my mind, but I was working through everything. After we finished breakfast, we cleaned up. CJ and Wendy were going shopping for another dress, I think I heard Wendy say she had another cousin getting married or something. I guess I had learned to tune out those things that didn’t interest me. CJ just kept nodding and saying, “yes dear”.
I decided to go for a drive. Without even realizing it, I was pulling into the park where Brian and I had our first date. I got out of my car and started to walk around the park, before I knew it, I had been walking for two hours. I walked over to the skate park; there were 4 kids skating that looked like they were high school aged. One even resembled Brian, or that may have just been my imagination. After watching them for about an hour, I looked at my watch, Brian should be landing in San Diego in another hour. I went home so that I wouldn’t miss his call.
Right on time, Brian called to let me know he arrived safely, and his sister picked him up. His mom was out of town on some business. We talked for another few minutes, about nothing. I sighed as I hung up the phone, so much for him coming running back to me. CJ and Wendy got home a little later, we ate some dinner and had a couple of beers and went to bed. CJ and I had to work the next day, as did Wendy. We were getting all the hours we wanted since all the other college kids had gone home for the summer. I was going to work until the end of July; I could get into the school the first week of August. I would have a couple of weeks to get my room set up the way I wanted before my students arrived.
I had a few days between leaving Target and school opening, so I decided to go home to see mom and dad. It would probably be Thanksgiving before I would see them again.
I arrived home and mom greeted me with a hug; it was about an hour before dad would be home from the store. I told her I was getting excited about starting my job and she was talking about how fun being a grandma was now that she had three grandkids. She even suspected that Becky and Mike would be making another announcement very soon.
Dad walked in and gave me a hug. Mom said, “I have pork chops ready to grill, why don’t you go out and start the grill.”
Dad nodded, “sure.” He turned to me, “Teddy, why don’t you grab a couple of beers, and you can help me.”
I smiled, “sure dad.”
He spread the charcoal in the grill and started the fire; we opened our beers and sat in the lawn chairs next to the grill.
Dad took a swig of his beer and asked, “so, are you doing ok now that Brian is gone?”
I nodded, “yeah, I’m ok.”
He asked, “are you seeing anyone else?”
I chuckled, “no, it’s a little too soon for me dad. Besides, school is about ready to start, I think I should concentrate on that right now.”
He smiled, “that sounds like a good idea, you’re still young, you have plenty of time to find someone.”
I laughed, “I’m still young? By the time you were my age, you already had two kids with a third on the way. Hell, I’m almost past my prime.”
Dad shook his head, and I heard the laugh that I shared with him and grandpa, he said, “Teddy my boy, things were a lot different back then. Take your time and enjoy life while you are young.”
I took a drink of my beer, and asked, “do you wish you had done things different, dad.”
He thought for a minute and sighed, “no, I think things went the exact way they were meant to. If we had planned things, your mom and me might have waited a little longer before we had you kids, but I don’t regret having any of you. I know I may not say it too often, but I am proud of all you.”
I smiled, “you sound like grandpa, he also told me things will happen when they are supposed to.”
He gave me a puzzled look, and I told him about the talk I had with grandpa when I was back last Christmas.
Dad chuckled, “that sounds like the talk we had when I told him your mom was pregnant. I just knew he was going to be pissed, but instead he just asked me if I loved your mom. I asked him how he knew he loved your grandma, and after he told me I said I feel the same way about your mom. That’s when I knew she was the “one”.”
I smiled and stared at my dad as he told me this story. Of course, he and grandpa have had talks like this. I always forget that my parents were once my age and may have gone through some of the same things that I have. Well, not exactly the same kind of things, but getting your girlfriend pregnant right out of high school is a pretty big deal. Me losing a couple of boyfriends is actually pretty minor.
Dad stood and flipped the pork chops, he slapped my knee as he sat back down, “just relax son, your life is right on track. You’ve finished college and have a good job, everything else will fall into place.”
Wow, I don’t know if my dad has mellowed as he’s gotten older or if I grew up in the last four years. I never imagined having these kinds of talks with my dad while I was growing up. I guess it made sense, dad was raised by grandpa, why wouldn’t he give good advice. I felt grateful for my whole family. I drove back home feeling much better and I was ready to get started teaching.
I spent the next two weeks getting my classroom ready for the new school year. The teacher I was replacing had been at the school for over twenty years, and he never threw a piece of paper away. He obviously never gave any of his students their homework back either. The back wall of the room was stacked from floor to ceiling with boxes full of worksheets. Thankfully the principal gave me permission to get rid of everything and ordered a dumpster for me. The custodial staff was glad to help me carry the boxes out, they were afraid the boxes were going to fall on them if they swept too close. The school district purchased new textbooks for this year, so I was ready to start the year off with a clean slate.
I was standing at the front of the classroom with a big smile as my first period algebra students started to file into the room. I chuckled when I heard one of them ask one of the other students, “does this room seem bigger than last year?”
In my cheeriest voice I said, “good morning, everyone, this is Algebra 1, and I’m Mr. Baker. Are you all ready to have fun with math?”
One student groaned in the back row, “oh God, he’s one of those.” Of course, I let out one of my laughs, causing the entire class to erupt in laughter.
I must have won them over, by the end of the period they were smiling and laughing and my back row friend said, “see ya tomorrow, Mr. B.” as he walked out of the door. By the end of the week, all the students were talking about “Mr. B’s Laugh” I was loving it.
By the time the week of Thanksgiving arrived, I was in my groove, my students were learning, and I think they were having a little fun doing it. I was looking forward to seeing my family and even though I was still missing Brian, I was moving on. I knew for sure things were over with Brian when we had our last phone call. We had been calling each other every few weeks, mostly talking about how our jobs were going.
Brian said, “so, I have something to tell you Teddy.”
I asked, “yeah, what’s that.”
He sighed, “I’ve moved in with Jake.”
I paused to let his words sink in, I asked, “does that mean you guys are… together?”
He said, “yes, it does.”
My stomach flipped; it was starting to make sense why Brian didn’t want to stay here after graduation. I asked, “where you together when you were back here?”
He answered, “no, oh God no Teddy. I would have never started seeing you if we were.” He sighed, “we were close before I left for college, I told you that, we were very close, but we weren’t together. Once I moved back home, well, he helped me a lot as I started teaching and things kind of escalated.”
I asked, “did you guys have sex before you left for college?”
Brian paused, “yes.”
My mind raced, I asked, “while he was still your teacher?”
He quickly said, “no, it was the after I graduated. I went to his house one day to talk about me going to college and well, it just happened. Teddy, he is only six years older than me, and I really looked up to him. I didn’t have a dad to talk to, and I trusted him. Now that I am back home, well, we were starting to spend more time together and I realized I had feelings for him.”
I thought for a minute said, “I guess you must have subconsciously known that. That is why you didn’t want to stay here.”
Brian sighed, “I guess so. Are you mad at me?”
I thought for a moment, “no, I don’t think so. I think this is what grandpa was talking about. Jake must be your “one”. I’m happy for you.”
He said, “thank you Teddy, that means a lot to me.”
We ended our call after a few more minutes talking about everything. The news actually didn’t bother as much as I thought it should have. I really was happy for Brian and Jake. I guess knowing that things were finally over was just what I needed to move on.
The week of Thanksgiving, school was scheduled to be dismissed at noon on Wednesday, Wendy was going to get off work early so we could all drive home together. I went home on Tuesday planning on packing my bags so I would be ready to leave as soon as Wendy got home. CJ had a coach’s meeting after school, so he wouldn’t be home until after 6. I noticed a strange car in the driveway when I parked my car. I was surprised that Wendy was already home too, she usually didn’t get home until after 5. When I walked into the house, no one was in the kitchen or living room. I assumed Wendy was with some of her friends and they dropped their cars off and left to go somewhere. I set my book bag on the table and grabbed a beer out of the fridge. I headed down the hall to my room to start packing and I heard voices in CJ and Wendy’s bedroom. One was Wendy’s and the other was a man, but it wasn’t CJ.
CJ
It was a little sad seeing Teddy come home after dropping Brian off at the airport. Wendy and I tried to comfort him as much as we could. I’m not sure how helpful we were, neither of us had ever been through anything like this. By the time we finished eating breakfast, we had at least seen a couple of smiles from him and heard that special laugh of his. This may sound bad, but I was kind of glad to see Brian gone. It’s not that I didn’t like Brian, and he always treated Teddy great, it’s kind of hard to explain. But, over the last couple of months, I was watching Brian and Teddy interact and I was starting to feel… The only word I can think of to describe it was… Jealousy. But what did I have to be jealous about, Wendy and I had a great relationship, I should have just been happy that Teddy was happy. Ok, I am just overthinking all this.
Wendy and I went shopping, she “needed” yet another dress for yet another cousin’s wedding. When we got back home, I assumed Teddy had gotten the call from Brian saying that he had made to San Diego, he was a little down. We didn’t bring the subject up; we ate our dinner and drank a few beers and went to bed. We were busy working and counting down the days to school starting. Teddy’s mood was improving every day, but he was in an especially good mood after he went home for a few days. He told me he had a good talk with his dad and that he felt much better. He was clearly excited to start school.
I was getting excited about school too; I started a week earlier than Teddy. I had to start practicing for our fall baseball season. I was happy with the group of players that I had to work with, I was optimistic for our season. Once school started, I liked all the classes that I was teaching. The kids were great, and they seemed to like me. The fall season went well; we only lost two games. I was already looking forward to the spring season, it was a lot longer and now that the team knew me better, I was hoping our success would continue.
Teddy was in such a better place as the first semester moved on. He would talk to us about some of his kids for hours. He hadn’t really gone out to meet any new guys, but he assured me he would start dating again, when he was ready. I know he and Brian talked on the phone weekly at first, but it was becoming less frequent as time went on. After their last call, he seemed to be more at peace, he didn’t tell me what they talked about, but he was a little happier.
Wendy loved her job too; she had made some new friends. We had gone out to eat with a few of her coworkers and their spouses. I was thinking about our future and had even stopped by a jewelry store to check out rings. Teddy told me that he was starting to think about a place of his own, now that he had a good job. I knew Wendy and I getting engaged would speed up that process, but I didn’t want to put any pressure on him. Deep down, I knew we wouldn’t live together forever, but the thought always me a little sad.
As we approached Thanksgiving, we made plans to drive home together. Teddy and I were done with school at noon on Wednesday, we were going to leave as soon as Wendy got home from work, she was also getting off early. The Tuesday before we were going to leave, I had a meeting after classes with all the other coaches and our Athletic Director. I told Wendy I was going to be home late and we would pack for our trip home after I was done with my meeting. Just as we all got to the room for our meeting, the AD came in and told us he just got a call from his wife. His son had broken his arm, so he needed to rush to the hospital, he postponed the meeting until next week. I took the opportunity to stop at the jewelry store and pick up my purchase. I was going to give it to Wendy as a Christmas present, but I wanted to show it to my mom when I was home for Thanksgiving.
I pulled into the driveway and saw I car I didn’t recognize parked in front of the house. I put the ring in my pocket and walked inside to see Teddy standing in the kitchen, leaning against the counter. He was drinking a beer and had a panicked look on his face.
I asked, “who’s car is that out front?”
He shrugged, “I don’t know.”
I felt a knot in my stomach, “where’s Wendy?”
Teddy sighed, “I think she’s in the bedroom.”
I headed down the hallway, trying to brace myself for the worst, and that is what I saw.
Wendy, and the man she was in bed with jumped up and wrapped themselves in the blankets as I threw open the door. Wendy screamed, “CJ, what are you doing home?”
I saw red, I yelled, “my meeting was postponed, what the hell is going on here?”
She said, “it’s not what it looks like, it just sort of…”
I bellowed, “it looks like you’re baking fucking cookies, how the hell can it not be what it looks like?”
Wendy said, “CJ, I can explain, please just let me…”
I cut her off, “no need to explain, you and Loverboy here get dressed and get the hell out of here. Me and Teddy are going to go have a beer, you have one hour. I’m going home for Thanksgiving tomorrow, have the rest of your shit out of the house by the time I get back on Sunday afternoon.”
I slammed the door as I walked back out to the kitchen, Teddy wrapped me in a hug.
I gave him a little smile and said, “thanks, come on, let’s go get a beer, I’m buying.”
Teddy followed me out the door and to my car. We parked in front of a local pub that we had started to frequent after we turned 21. We sat at a booth and the waitress brought us each a beer, neither of us had said anything.
Teddy broke the silence, “I’m sorry, CJ. I got home a few minutes before you, I didn’t know what to do.”
I sighed, “yeah, I know buddy, it’s not your fault.”
He took a drink of his beer, “I don’t know what to say, I know it wouldn’t help anyway.”
I nodded, “just being here for me is a big help.”
He smiled, “hey, you have always been there for me. Where else would I be?”
I forced a smile, “it’s nice to know there still are somethings I can count on. I figured Wendy would always be there, I never thought she would do something like this.”
Teddy asked, “do you know who the guy is?”
I laughed, “yeah, Gary Hayes. He works with Wendy; we’ve been out with him and wife a few times.”
He shook his head, “do you think his wife knows?”
I smirked as I sucked the last of my beer down, “she will know everything tomorrow.”
Teddy chuckled, “ok.” He drained his beer, and we ordered a second.
I sighed, “God Teddy, I never thought Wendy would do something like this. We’ve been together for so long, what am I going to do with this now?” I set the ring box on the table between us.
Teddy’s eyes went wide as he picked up the box and opened it.
He asked, “did Wendy know you bought this.”
I shook my head, “no, I was going to surprise her at Christmas. I picked it up today so I could show my mom this weekend.”
He pushed the ring back toward me, “can you take it back?”
I shrugged, “I’m not sure, I guess I’ll have to ask.”
Teddy said, “I’m really sorry CJ.”
I smiled, “thanks Teddy, like I said, just being here for me helps a lot.
He sighed, “I know it doesn’t seem like it now, but it does get better. I know I wasn’t with Brian for as long as you guys were together, but things will get easier. I keep remembering what grandpa told me, the “one” is out there, if Wendy didn’t work out, your “one” is still waiting for you to meet them.”
I chuckled, “I don’t even know how to date, I’ve never done it before.”
Teddy let out one his famous laughs and said, “it’s not much different than it was 6 or 7 years ago.”
I smiled at his laugh, it never failed to cheer me up. I looked at my watch, “I think she should be gone by now, it should be safe to go home.”
Wendy and Gary’s cars were gone when we got back to the house. Teddy and I ordered a pizza, packed and had another beer. Teddy went to his room to go to bed; I walked into my room and couldn’t bring myself to get into our bed. I grabbed a blanket and curled up on the couch.
I’m not sure how long I laid there before I finally started to doze off. Instead of dreaming about Wendy, I saw Brian spread out half on the bed and half on the floor as Teddy fucked him. God how did Brian fit Teddy’s big cock in his ass. They both had the look of pure ecstasy on their faces, I reached down to feel my suddenly hard cock. The vision of Brian’s cock flopping back and forth as Teddy railed him filled my mind, damn that was hot. I was in shock when I saw Brian shoot his load right into his own mouth, and then when Teddy licked the cum from Brian’s face and they kissed. Did gay guys really like to eat each other’s cum? To be honest I never thought about guys kissing before either. I shook myself awake when I felt my dick pulse and my hand was now covered in my own jizz. I tried to catch my breath and make sense of the dream that I just had. I was still thinking about them tasting their own cum, I slowly brought my hand to my mouth and stuck out my tongue. I licked my knuckle, getting my first taste of my love juices. Shit, it wasn’t bad, fuck, maybe I even liked it. I cleaned up and changed my underwear, the rest of the night was dream free.
We loaded our bags in Teddy’s car the next morning and he dropped me off at my school and went to his. We wanted to leave as soon as school was dismissed to make our trip home. I was feeling a little better as we started our drive. Teddy was doing his best to cheer me up and I guess it was helping. I was trying to think about what I was going to tell my family when I got home. I guess this happening before I gave Wendy that ring was a good thing, better to know now than after we started to plan a wedding.
