It was the spring of 1997, and I spent a lot of my spare time on AOL, which was big at the time, living in an apartment above my parent's garage that let me have the freedom to be alone but also save money while working and finishing school. One afternoon I was cruising the chat rooms m4m in my area and started to talk with someone that lived about 15 minutes away. After some back and forth we agreed to meet at a public place and if we liked each other head back to his place.
Well, we met at a mini mart both liked what we said so he hoped in my car, and we drove the 2 min back to his apartment. Once in his room we both just started to rub each other's cocks thru our pants until the clothes came off and then took turns blowing each other and me leaving, never to see him again, what this encounter proved was I did miss this action.
I continued to try and find men online, but it wasn't as easy as that encounter and at the same time, I needed to be discreet, private chat sessions worked to help my craving leading to jerking off chatting with someone, but not as good as the real thing.
The spring of 97 I finished school and the place that I was working part time hired me full time in the field I went to school for.
During my time working there I became friendly with one of the workers Rich who was openly gay and had many friends there. All I knew about his personal life was he was 25 living with another guy, I never let on I was bi or into him but would hang out at work with him hoping for something. One week when all of us were at lunch Rich asked a couple of us where we interested in helping him and Bernie, his boyfriend move to a new place. A couple of us said we would, and it was 2 weeks later, on a Saturday.
