Author's Note:
Hello Literotica Community. This note will be attached to several of my stories so you know what is happening. I have started tons of stories. Yes started. I have been jumping between about eighty of them. When my muse shifts to someone else, I must begin their story. I know that you all hate that I haven't finished Dave, Leroy, Adam, Steve, Jake, and Toby's stories, but as I said, when they come to me, I write what I can before they morph into someone else.
I will be releasing some of these stories over the next few months. I have sometimes only 20 to 30 pages written to over 200. I will release a chapter here and there. I have been working on Male/Male, Male/Female, Trans, and Nonhuman.
Depending on the reviews that I receive, I may continue releasing chapters, or I will just delete the story completely.
Please rate my stories and leave comments or private message comments to me.
Also,
Because people tend to hate cheating, I'm going to warn you. There is cheating in this story. If you don't want to become attached to the two characters, click out of the story now.
Remember, this story is a work of fiction. I've twisted truths to work in my favor.
As always, thank you for reading,
Katherine

Chapter 1
The Call
Frank sat on Matt's couch, drinking a beer. It was their day off, so they were shooting the shit and had nothing better to do on a Tuesday night in Adrian, Michigan. There was not much going on, and Frank's girlfriend was working, so he couldn't even be with her that night.
Frank noticed Matt's phone was vibrating. It was an unsaved number, so he quickly hit answer and put it on speaking before Matt could send it to voicemail. Matt gave Frank the evil eye as he said. "This is Matt." Matt didn't recognize the number
"Um, hi, Matt. This is Zachary Pierce. I don't know if you remember me. I'm Dale Tucker's roommate." Zack was very nervous, Matt could tell, and smiled.
"Yeah, Zack. I remember you." Matt picked up the phone after taking it off speaker. "How are you doing?"
"I'm good, thanks." Zack wasn't sure if he should ask what he had called about, but he thought, what the hell. He made it past the first step. He finally made the call. "Matt, I was wondering if you would like to go out with me the next time you're off."
"Oh." Matt was able to get out before Zack interrupted.
"Oh, I probably should have asked if you're seeing anyone."
Matt chuckled. "Zack, calm down. I would love to go out with you; it's just that tomorrow is my day off. I had today and tomorrow off."
"Perfect. Do you have plans?"
"No, I don't. Would you like me to pick you up?" Matt asked.
"I asked you. It would only be right if I picked you up." Frank could hear the conversation and smiled because Matt looked at him when Zack had said that, causing Matt to shake his head.
"Okay, I'll text you my address." Matt didn't like people knowing where he lived, but he hoped Zack wouldn't give it to Dale.
"Okay, thanks, and have a good night."
Frank looked at Matt, "Wasn't Dale that drunk twenty-something walking down the street with his friends and barely wearing anything?"
"Yup." Matt laughed.
"So, how did this guy get your number?"
"From Dale, more than likely."
"And you did what with Dale?"
"We hung out a few times."
"Hung out?" Frank did the air quotes.
"I didn't fuck him, if that's what you're asking. I thought about it, and then my wits finally kicked in."
"Why didn't you fuck him?"
"Well, I was sure he had been around the block a few too many times and wasn't sure what I might have walked away with."
"Wow, getting picky." Frank laughed.
"No, I'm looking for a relationship. I've been over the one-nighters for years now. You might still be into them, but hell, man, I'm in my thirties, I'm gay, and I don't want diseases."
"You've had lots of relationships." Frank laughed.
Matt chuckled. "Yeah, some were great, but all ended badly."
"So, how old is this guy? What's his name?"
"Zack, God, um, I think in his early twenties. He's way too young for me, but he may be a good friend. He was always in his room studying when Dale and I were on the couch talking." Matt thought about it. "Shit, that was like a year or so ago."
"At least." Frank agreed. "But I remember pulling the cruiser along the curb as Dale walked. Shit, he didn't care that he was almost naked."
"Not one bit." Matt chuckled again.
When Frank left for the night, Matt texted his address to Zack and started getting ready for bed.
'Thanks.' Zack responded.
'No problem.'
'I'll be there to pick you up at six.'
'I'll be ready.'
'Goodnight, Matt.'
'Night, Zack.'
Matt went to bed, not thinking about tomorrow night. He didn't know about Zack; he remembered a little about him, and that was all. Meanwhile, Zack was smiling from ear to ear. He had been dreaming about Matt for a long time.
Zack didn't get Matt's number from Dale. Dale had moved out of their duplex apartment and left his address book. Zack was cleaning out Dale's room to possibly get a new roommate when he stumbled upon it and thumbed through and found Matt's number. Dale had it written as 'Matt, the police officer,' so Zack was sure it was really his, but it took him a few weeks to get the courage to call him.
Zack had difficulty falling asleep; he wanted to text or call Matt to see what he was doing but was sure he was sleeping or would be annoyed by him. When he finally fell asleep, it was after three in the morning. He woke late and was shocked because he wanted to finish a few things before going out that night.
Zack ran out, got his haircut, and then went to Walmart to look for a new shirt. He didn't like anything there, so he went to Kohl's. He didn't want to drive to Toledo or Ann Arbor to go to more stores because everything moved out of the mall years ago. He looked through Kohl's until he found something he liked. He ended up with a blue long-sleeve and a black sweater vest. He decided to wear his khaki dress pants and hoped Matt wouldn't think he was overdressed.
Not knowing what Zack would wear, Matt decided he would at least wear dress pants and a shirt instead of jeans. Since he tended to wear dark colors, which was mostly all he had. He pulled out a pair of black slacks and a burgundy long-sleeve shirt that he left untucked.
Zack sat around the corner from Matt's house on Locust; he was early. He realized he was parked near Matt's driveway when he saw Matt come out his side door to put a garbage bag in his trash can. He didn't realize that Matt's house was on the corner.
When Matt came out and threw his garbage away, he noticed the car parked down the street. He didn't want to stare right at it but noticed it was a Ford Focus, a newer model year. He walked back into his house to a ringing phone. "Yeah."
"You have a great time tonight, and don't do anything I would do." Frank laughed.
"Shut the fuck up." Matt laughed.
