Road Trip

Chapter 6

We had such a great time in Vegas, and we never really talked about those nights in the hotel rooms on our road trip. We all behaved on the trip back home, and once we were back, we all went to work on finding our jobs. We had all sent resumes out and applied at several places before we had left on our trip.

I was the first to get an interview, about a week after we returned from Vegas, I headed up to New York to talk to the Mets about becoming an assistant on their training staff. I felt the interview went well and I was excited about a chance to move to the big city and work in the major leagues. The baseball season had already started so I was surprised that the Mets still had a position open, I found out that someone had left for personal reasons. Two days after I returned, I got the call that I was to report to New York on the following Monday. Evan, Press and Ell were all happy for me and I said goodbye to my friends and headed off to a city where I knew absolutely nobody. Fortunately, because the season had already started, the team kept me busy, and there really wasn’t time for much of a social life. I of course didn’t advertise my sexuality, and on a couple of my rare free nights I did check out a couple of gay clubs and a few gay hook-up apps. I didn’t have much success and figured once the baseball season was over, I could explore dating a little more. I thought about what had happened on our trip. What did that all mean? Was it just my straight friends experimenting and getting that curiosity out of their system? I guess it didn’t matter now, I was getting on with my life and starting my career. My personal life would fall into place in its own time, right? I just knew that I would like to have a permanent relationship.

I had kept in contact with Evan, Ell and Press via emails, texts, and phone calls. Evan was the next to get a job, he was going to stay right where he was. He was offered an assistant coaching job at the college we all attended. He was going to help the head coach with a few recruiting trips during the summer, but really didn’t have to start work until school started this fall. He made a couple of trips to see me, and I was able to get him tickets to our games whenever he was in town. I had found a small apartment and he stayed with me during his visits. We hadn’t been apart that long, but it was nice to have someone to hang out with, even if it was just for a day or two. He slept on my couch, he didn’t seem interested in exploring his sexuality any further, and I didn’t push the issue. I was happy that we were still friends and were as close as ever. The lease on the house that the four of had rented was up, he had already found his own place and Press and Ell were staying with him until they got their jobs.

Press was the next one to get a job. He was moving back to Atlanta to be the head basketball coach for his old high school. His old coach had just retired, and the school was glad to get one of their former students back as their new head coach. He moved in with his parents for the first couple of months, but shortly after moving back to town, he hooked up with his old high school girlfriend, Regina. They started dating again and soon found a place and moved in together. His mother and father weren’t happy about it, thinking it didn’t look good for a pastor’s son to be living in sin. Press just shrugged and told them to deal with it, he was happy and if they didn’t like it, that was their problem.

Ell was still looking for a job, he had participated in the NFL combine last spring, but wasn’t drafted. He was spending his time trying out for several team’s practice squads. Since he wasn’t drafted, the best way for him to make it onto a team would be to join a practice squad and work his way on to the active roster. He called me and told me he was headed to Arizona to talk to the Cardinals, after that he was trying out for the Chicago Bears.

I asked, “do you have a backup plan if you don’t make a squad?”

He chuckles, “are you saying I’m not good enough? You sound like momma Evan.”

I laughed, “I know you’re good enough, I just know that there are a lot of other players trying for the few open spots on these teams. I was just wandering if you had a backup, just in case.”

He said, “I know you ask because you care, I still have a couple of weeks before the teams are in full training mode. I know the Vikings and Jets still have a couple spots open, if they don’t pan out, I can stay in South Carolina and be an assistant on our college team.”

I was relieved he had an option, I said, “don’t worry, you’ll get one of those spots.”

Ell did get a spot and he was soon moving and busy with practice. The baseball season was in full swing, and I too was busy. With college and high school starting, Press and Evan were also busy, and our calls and texts slowed. We were mostly sending weekly emails now. In his last email, Evan was excited about meeting a girl. Her name was Ashley, and she was a nurse at a local hospital, he had met her when he took one of his runners in for a minor injury. Press also told us that things were getting more serious between him and Regina.

After the baseball season ended in October, my personal life had taken a slight turn for the better as well. I didn’t want to jinx it, so I didn’t say too much. I just told everyone that things were good and if things got serious, I would let them know. Ell just congratulated Press and Evan and said he had nothing to report.

On New Year's Day, Press called us all, he had proposed to Regina, and she said yes. He invited us to his wedding, that was to take place at the end of May. We all immediately started booking flights and scheduling time off from work.

Evan told me he was bringing Ashley and asked me if I was bringing anyone to wedding, I told him I wasn’t sure if I was ready for that just yet, but if I did, I would let him know. Ell said he would be coming alone too.

The time came for the wedding, and we all arrived the day before. Press picked us all up at the airport and he was letting us stay at the new house that he and Regina had just moved into.

After the rehearsal, we were sitting around drinking a beer and talking about college memories.

Press said, “oh yeah, that was great, but nothing is going to beat the Vegas trip.”

All four of us gave each other a knowing look and a smile. Ashley caught the smiles, she said, “ok, what happened in Vegas? You all have a guilty look on your face.”

Evan took her hand and grinned, “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.”

Regina rolled her eyes and gave Press a look, “ok, we are going to have a talk later.”

After we laughed, we told the ladies it was just a fun trip celebrating the end of college.

Ell said, “hey, it will be a year since that trip at the end of next month, maybe we should make it an annual event.”

I said, “hell yeah, I’m down.”

Regina interrupted, “only if you include us girls.”

Ell and I looked at each other and nodded, “of course, you are more than welcome to come along. Press, Evan, what do you say?”

Evan looked at Ashley, “what do you think, you want to go?”

She smiled, “sure, sounds like fun.”

Ell added, “of course you have to bungie jump with Evan and I.”

Regina held up her hand, “oh hell no.”

We talked about the trip over another beer and then headed to bed. The wedding went great, and we all had a good time, and each headed home the day after. The next couple weeks were a flurry of emails, texts and phone calls making plans and coordinating flights and hotels. We were going to fly in instead of driving this year since we would have to be back for work, and we were just going to stay for 3 days. We were able to all get rooms in the same hotel. Of course, Evan and Ashley were sharing a room, as were Press and Regina, Ell and I talked and decided to share a room as well. I was coming in from Los Angles as we were playing a game there the day before. All of our flights were arriving within two hours, so we were meeting at one of the airport bars to wait for everyone to get in. My plane landed and I found Evan and Ashley already waiting. I ordered a beer as we waited, Ell arrived next and an hour later the newlyweds walked in. It was about 2 in the afternoon when we got checked into the hotel, and the girls wanted to go to Emeril Lagasse's restaurant at the MGM for dinner that night. We all decided to go to our rooms and rest for a bit before we went out to eat, we were planning to go to a club after we ate, so it would be a late night. The girls wanted us to dress up, they would wear a nice dress and we were all going to wear our suits.

Ell and I walked into our room, I sat my bag on the luggage rack and opened it to start unpacking. I turned to hang up my suit, Ell was already naked and walking toward me with a big smile.

I smiled back, “damn man, you don’t waste any time, do you?” I had just enough time to hang the suit up before he attacked me.

He shook his head, “nope, I’ve been looking forward to this all week.”

Ell locked his lips onto mine as he started to pull my clothes off, I wasn’t resisting, I had also been looking forward to this all week. We were both rock-hard before we fell onto the bed and rolled into a sixty-nine position. We feasted on each other’s cocks for what seemed like forever, I just loved sucking that sweet uncut monster. Ell went to work alternating between sucking my dick and licking my nuts, I was doing the same to him. I let my fingers wander to Ell’s perfect ass, I swear the extra work he has putting in on the practice squad had that ass even firmer and rounder than ever before. He moaned as he spread his cheeks, and I replaced my fingers with my warm, wet tongue. His legs spread even wider, and I devoured that pink pucker, and forced my tongue as deep as I could. From past experiences, I knew Ell was ready to take my aching cock. Because I was hoping this would happen, I of course had packed my lube and I quickly retrieved it from my bag. Ell was holding his legs by his ankles and smiling as I started to rub the lube in and around his hole. He winked his pucker at me and said, “yes Parker, feed me that cock.” I couldn’t help but chuckle at this big muscle-bound football stud begging for my cock. I leaned in for a kiss as I worked my dick into his love tunnel. Ell let out a sigh as my cock disappeared and my nuts were resting on his furry ass cheeks. I once again had to chuckle as I looked at his face, his eyes were rolling around in their sockets and he had a goofy grin. Shit he was so cute when he was reacting to me pounding him. I leaned back down for another kiss and Ell grabbed my ass and pulled me in harder and faster. He had me on the brink of orgasm when he suddenly pushed me off of him and onto my back. I gave him a questioning look, he smirked as he threw his leg over my stomach and sat back on my cock. I grabbed his hips as he started to ride me, our eyes locked as his huge member flopped up and down, slapping both of our rock-hard abs with each stroke. Once again, he had me on the brink of cumming, this time he didn’t stop and I exploded inside of him, coating his guts with my creamy love juice. He sank down so my dick was as deep as it could go as it convulsed one last time. Ell gave me a mischievous grin as he slowly pulled off my cock and inched forward, up my stomach and onto my chest. He was stroking his dick, and he had his cock just inches from my mouth. I smiled back when I understood what he was doing, I gladly opened my mouth as he gave himself one last stroke and I was rewarded with the creamy goodness that shot from his throbbing pole. Other than the first rope of cum that landed on my cheek, I caught the rest on my tongue and let it run down my throat. Ell quickly came down for a kiss and we rolled his cum around in our mouths, pushing it back and forth until we swallowed every drop. We kept kissing until our heart beats returned to normal. Ell rolled beside and we just held each other in silence for a few minutes.

He said, “I’m so glad we decided to come back to Vegas.”

I nodded, “yeah, me too. So far, it’s even better than the last time.”

He looked at the clock, “hey, we better take a shower, what time did you tell them to meet for dinner?"

I said, “I told them to meet us at 5, I made the reservations for 6.”

Ell grinned at me, “and what time are our real reservations for?”

I shrugged, “7:30.”

He gave me a kiss, “come let’s take that shower.”

We took our time washing each other in the shower, I would never get tired of touching Ell’s muscular body. When we got out of the shower and walked back into the room, I glanced at the clock, it was 4:30, we were right on time. As we started to dress, I was surprised to see Ell take a brand-new package of underwear from his bag and pull it open.

He caught me starring at him, he asked, “what?”

I laughed, “are you putting on a pair of underwear?”

He grinned, “yes, I want to make you work for it tonight, when we get back to the room.”

I shook my head as we finished getting dressed. We stood in front of the mirror as we looked at each other. Damn, we did look good all dressed up.

We stepped onto the elevator and as the doors closed, Ell asked, “so what’s the plan?”

I said, “the limo will be waiting for us at the front door of the hotel, I’m going to tell them that we are taking a slight detour before dinner.”

The doors opened just as Evan and Ashley were walking out of another elevator.

Ashley smiled, “wow, you guys clean up nice.”

Ell smiled back, “you guys don’t look too bad either.”

Press yelled, “hey guys, over here.” We joined them by the front door.

Regina said, “it’s only about a 15-minute walk to Emeril’s, we should be there in plenty of time. We can have a drink before they seat us.”

We walked outside, to see the limo waiting.

The driver opened the back door and said, “good evening Mr. Westin, please make yourselves comfortable, there is a bottle of champagne chilling for you and your party.”

Press said, “what the hell is going on Parker, the restaurant is just a couple blocks away.”

I smiled, “there is a slight change of plans, our reservations aren’t until 7:30. Please get in the limo, we need to make a quick stop before we go to eat.”

Everyone was giving me confused looks as they crawled into the car and the driver shut the door behind us. Ell started to pour everyone a glass of champagne.

Evan took a drink, then said, “ok Parker, what the hell is going on?”

I said, “I said, you’ll know soon enough, but first a toast.” I held up my glass, “to my three best friends and all the good times we had, and now to include their partners is truly an honor. To all of us.”

We all clinked our glasses and had a drink. Everyone was still trying to figure out what was going on. Press asked, “this is great and all, but where are we going?”

I said, “ok, I guess it’s time to tell you. You remember when you told me you and Regina were getting married and Evan asked if I was seeing anyone?”

Evan said, “yeah, you said you were, but weren’t ready to introduce him to us just yet. Oh wait, are you taking us to meet him now?”

I nodded, “well sort of, you see, you already know him.”

Press sighed, “Jesus Christ Parker, just tell us what’s going on.”

Just then the limo pulled into a parking lot and stopped. Ashley asked, “why are we at a wedding chapel?”

I smiled, “we’re here for a wedding.”

Press asked, “who’s getting married?”

Ell leaned forward in his seat, “Parker is never going to spit it out, so let me. You know last year when I made the Jet’s practice squad, and moved to New York? Well, I moved in with Parker. We have been together ever since our trip out here last year.”

Evan’s eyes went wide, “you mean as a couple?”

I grinned as I nodded, “yep, and we wanted our best friends with us for our wedding.”

 

The End.
