I have written before about my first gay experiences when I was in the US on a gap year, and there are lots more things to tell about that year when I discovered my true self and the excitement sexual encounters can bring. But that is for another time.
I returned home to the UK in the late summer and had a few weeks to get my act together before I went to university. My biggest dilemma was whether to tell my family that I was gay. It may seem strange these days but then it was still an enormous step to take and I concluded that I needed to wait till I had been away at college for a while before I took it. So I enjoyed catching up with everyone again, telling them about my trip (well, some of it!) and starting to think about studying again. My parents mentioned that a new guy had moved in next door. They said he was a university lecturer and seemed very pleasant. He was apparently divorced and lived alone but his children visited him quite often.
I didn't think a lot more about it until one morning I was looking out of the bedroom window and glanced into the neighbour's garden. There was this gorgeous guy -- probably in his thirties, I thought -- doing some gardening jobs. I couldn't take my eyes off him. He was dark, tanned, slim and wearing a close fitting polo shirt tucked into jeans. At one point he was bending over and I was convinced I saw a glimpse of white waistband showing above his jeans.
I've explained before that I have quite a fetish for guys in underwear and, even more weirdly, for guys who tuck their shirts in briefs or boxer briefs. This started back at school, but since then, apart from one encounter in New York, I had never found anyone else with the same kind of feelings. I'd certainly seen the odd waistband showing but had no idea whether other people who dress like that are turned on by it or just wear it for comfort. I knew immediately that I had to meet this guy and find out more about him. Was this just an odd occasion that he had stuffed his shirt in by mistake? It didn't look like it; I thought it looked intentional. Was there any possibility that he had got divorced because he was gay? It was too much to hope, but I needed to find out.
I casually mentioned to my mother that I had seen the guy next door through the window and asked if she knew what subject he taught. She didn't know but said we could ask him round for a drink one night to get to know him better. That sounded good to me, though I wondered if I could keep control of myself in front of my parents if he turned out to be as 'interesting' as I hoped.
My mother was true to her word and arranged for James (found out his name) to come round at the end of the week on Friday evening. I spent the week on a variety of activities but kept looking out the window hoping for another glimpse. Sadly I never saw him in the garden but I did catch sight of him getting out of his car one evening -- still gorgeous! Finally Friday evening came and I thought carefully about what to wear. I decided on a polo shirt and cut-offs, tucked in of course. I made sure the waistband of my ck briefs wasn't showing, though it was only just below the waistline in case I needed to reveal it.
James arrived right on time and looked even hotter in close up. He was wearing a cream buttoned shirt tucked in pale trousers. I looked hard for any underwear sighting but the only pleasure was a visible line of his briefs through the trousers as he sat down. We had an enjoyable evening chatting about all kinds of things and it turned out that he lectured in English Literature which was the main part of my forthcoming degree course.
At one point in the evening when I went out of the room I tried to look over and see if I could see his briefs waistband inside his trousers as he leant forward, but he moved back before I had chance. I hoped he had notice the attention I was giving him but I still had to keep telling myself it was all in my fantasy world.
