“You’ve got me feeling emotions…. deeper than I’ve ever dreamed of…”

Kyle walked me to my truck in the parking lot after work and our talk. And he made sure I got home safely before going home himself.
I was ready to tell this man everything, no one else really knows my life and everything that’s happened to me with the exception of my brother and that’s a given. Considering the amount of my stupid antics Bryan had to put up from me.
I walked into the kitchen to find Bryan sitting at the table reading something on his phone smiling. “Hey big bro what’s got you all smiles?” He looked at me and immediately changed the subject to me and my first day of work. “So how does it feel to be a productive member of society now?” He chuckled. “Ha ha funny…it was good for the most part. Until..” I sighed. Still the thought of what happened with Lewis coming in and harassing me before Kyle showed up was bothering me. “Flynn…hey are you ok baby bro?” I was just standing there and Bryan got up and walked to me and gave me a hug. “What happened? It not go good? Oh please don’t tell me you got fired or anything like that?” I shook my head no. I took a deep breath and proceeded to fill Bryan in on what happened with Lewis popping up right at the end of my shift and how Kyle walked in at the right now so it made Lewis leave. “Wow Flynn. I mean Kyle has impeccable timing if you ask me. Totally living up to that cop knight in shining armor thing!” I sighed. “You’re telling me. I was so scared. Lewis was telling me things that I was scared of him actually trying to do so glad Kyle walked in when he did. He made sure I got to my truck after we chatted for a bit and followed me home to make sure I was ok.” Bryan was smiling big time. “What!? What why are you giving me that shit eating grin for?” “Becuase baby bro….that man loves you already and I can tell by the way you’re talking about him and light up with the slightest mention of his name, you’re falling in love with him already too aren’t you?” Guilty as charged I thought to myself. “Well yeah and I’m scared Bryan. I’m super scared. It’s almost like this is way too easy and there’s nothing wrong with him. There’s got to be and I’m afraid that I’ll fuck it up…” “Flynn. Nobody is perfect! I’m pretty close…ha just messing with ya. But seriously. This guy is into you. Why else would he have shown up to see how your first day of work went? And bonus he scared off that slime ball ex boyfriend of yours that I hated.” Bryan is absolutely right. I mean even if Kyle isn’t 100% perfect. I sure the hell ain’t by any means and I can live with that. “Thanks big bro. I know I can always count on you to help me out!” I gave him a big hug. He hugged me back “of course Flynn we’re all we got right now and I would do anything for you. Just like I know you would too. I’m glad you’re clean and sobered up. I got my baby bro back!” He smiled and hugged me again.

I made sure that Flynn got home safely after walking into the coffee shop and seeing him in that tense situation with that creepy ex of his. What could Flynn see in him? I mean yeah the guy was semi attractive but still the way he was talking to Flynn like he was his property or something. Oh that rubbed me the wrong way. I walked into the house and I could smell my mom’s cooking in the kitchen. Oh yes! She made my favorite. Chicken and dumplings. Yeah, yeah I’m a pretty simple guy and it was my dad’s favorite meal as well. I sat down to eat dinner with my mom. Times like this I really missed my dad. My sister was off living her life and had recently started dating this new guy and he was awesome. Treated her right and I liked him. Big plus for a big brother when the person saying your younger sibling likes you. But sitting here makes me miss my dad. I wish he was still alive to see us now. See me following in his footsteps. And have him meet Flynn. Oh how he would love him. “Honey are you thinking about your dad again over there?” My mom asked smiling at me. I smiled back. “Yes ma’am I am. And thinking about Flynn… Mom I don’t know what it is about him but I can’t stop thinking about him. Everytime I see him I can’t describe it. It it’s..” “Amazing. Butterflies. All of the above?” She asked me. “Yes. Ever since I saved him that day and we’ve started to get to know one another over these past few weeks. I can’t stop thinking about him and feeling this way.” My mom just sat there and smiled at me. “Kyle.” “Yes ma’am?” “You’re in love with him aren’t you? That’s how I felt after meeting your dad. And for all those years I felt that way and still do even after he’s gone.” I smiled and realized she was right. Sometimes you can’t plan on what the world throws at you but she’s right. I’m in love with him and it’s only been a short time. When you know you know I guess. “When do you see him next?” She asked me. “Saturday. We are finally going to go on a real real date.” “I’m happy for you Kyle. I haven’t seen your eyes sparkle and you this after since before you dad passed. He would be so proud of you right now!” I let a few tears fall. “Thanks mom. I love you.” I got up and gave her a hug. “I love you too Kyle. I finally have my baby boy back!”

Friday came and went fairly well. No sight of that asshole and work was going great. It was a blur but I was more than happy for Friday to zip by. I woke up on Saturday morning with a huge smile on my face. I was thinking of Kyle and those beautiful eyes and that sexy smile. Today was going to be torture waiting until 6pm for Kyle to pick me up for our first real date. Bryan had to work today so I was home alone. I got on my computer and tackled some college stuff. Got to get back on track! I also decided to clean the house from top to bottom. I hadn’t done anything like that in forever. Bryan and myself were still staying in our old rooms. I walked by my parent’s room. That door had not been opened in years after the funeral I haven’t stepped foot in there since, especially since my drinking and drug use got bad after. It was such a trigger. I stopped at the door and had my hand on the door knob. I took a deep breath and opened the door and stepped inside. Immediately it’s like I took a trip back into the past. Everything was still where they had left it. No one dared to touch anything that they didn’t need to for their funeral. I looked around and tears were falling. This was the start of my fall from grace. Losing these two hurt so bad. I never could cope with and dealt with their loss correctly. I just tried to mask the pain until it almost consumed me whole. That was until my knight in shining armor Kyle showed up that night. I wiped my tears and kept looking around the room. I have to tell Kyle about all of this. I’m falling for him and I want to be honest about everything. Including this. Including my parent’s deaths. I was ready to move on finally and I hope he will be along for the ride.

Waiting until 6pm was torture for me. I was going to pick Flynn up at his house, for the first time, and go on our real first date. I was so excited like a damn kid the first time he steps foot in a candy store and got free rein to get whatever he wanted. I kept myself busy by going to the gym, doing some laundry, helping my mom with some stuff around the house. Busy work. I was thinking about my dad a lot today. I wish I could talk to him. Tell him everything that I’m thinking and feeling. I’m sure he would have loved Flynn and I’m sad that I won’t ever get to introduce the two of them. But I still have my mom and for that I’m really grateful. I’m know I’m 28 and here I am nervous as a teenage boy.
Finally after what seemed like a longer than necessary day, it was time for me to get ready and go pick Flynn up. I wanted to take him for dinner and then head up to the spot right outside of town that I always went to during my shift to think. One that was not the bridge as that would bring back terrible memories for the both of us. I put on my nice pair of black dress pants that accentuated my ass and a shirt that wasn’t too obscenely showing off my muscles, but did show them off tastefully enough to look good and not come off as a douche trying to show off. I styled my short brown hair and brushed my teeth and sprayed cologne all over. I stopped and looking in the mirror I smiled. “You look good Kyle. Don’t be nervous. You like him and he likes you. Be yourself and be honest. You got this!” I took a deep breath and grabbed my phone, wallet and keys. I walked through the kitchen and kissed my mom on the cheek goodbye and she smiled “you boys have fun, but not too much fun!” and winked my way letting out a small laugh. “We will. Love you mom!” And out the door and into the truck I went. Driving towards Flynn’s house, I sent him a text “I’m on my way! Can’t wait to see you! :)” I let out a huge breath and drove to his house.

My phone dinged while I had just finished getting ready for Kyle to come get me and go on our date.
“I’m on my way! Can’t wait to see you! :)”
My damn heart melted right there. I was so excited and smiled. I texted back.
“Just finished getting ready. Can’t wait to see you too! :)”
I did one final check and looked myself over. I had on a nice pair of black dress pants that still fit and accented my body and my shirt suprisingly still fit in all the right places. I know I want to take things slow with Kyle. And I’m actually not ready as much as I thought I’d be to be with someone else sexually yet. After Lewis and realizing everything I went through. I needed more time. No matter what my damn dreams had been telling me lately. I felt my cock get hard in my pants. “Down boy!” I chuckled to myself. I sprayed cologne on and checked my blonde hair and made sure it looked just right and headed downstairs.
Bryan was downstairs. He must have just got home from work. “Ahhh it’s big date time now huh? Looking good Flynn!” “Thanks Bryan.” “You ok? You’re looking a little nervous Flynn?” Bryan looked at me inquisitively. “I’m good I promise. Just nervous. I really like Kyle and don’t want to fuck it up. And also…I kind of finally went into mom and dad’s room today while you were at work…” Bryan looked at me wide eyed. “You ok? I know how much you avoided going that way and never wanted to go in there again? What changed?” Right then the doorbell rang and my sexy date was on the other side of the door. I looked at Bryan and answered him.
“What changed is standing on the other side of that door. I did it for me because of him.” I smiled and opened the door.
“Hi Kyle!”
“Hi Flynn!”
“Ready to go?” Kyle asked me.
“Yes I am.” I replied.
Then let’s go.” He smiled.
Saturday was turning out to be my favorite day of the week…and the date has just begun…
