Runners Surprise
Before I start my story let me tell you a little about my life. My name is Robin, I am 55 years old and I work as a produce buyer for a national company. My Wife and I divorced some 5 years ago and we had no Children. After the settlement I had enough to purchase a small house which has become my home.
For over 10 years I have been a member of a small running club and I run between 5 - 10 kilometer road and cross country races plus the local Parkrun every Saturday. I am not a fast elite runner and I would best be described as a normal club runner. My running has become my social life and I find few things better than a good run and a great coffee with friends.
Our club has training sessions on a Tuesday and Thursday evening and we meet at the local Sports Centre. This Thursday evening was slightly different as after the training session the members were meeting in the Sports Centre for our annual Prize presentation. After the training session the runners had the use of the changing rooms so that we could get presentable for the evening.
It was a wet and cold evening and only a few runners had attended the training session and so after everybody got back we went into the centre to get ready. The changing rooms are an open space with benches and hooks and the showers are 5 separate shower heads behind a wall that stopped water reaching the changing area.
Even after 10 years at the club I did not know everybody well as I suppose although we said hello to every one we generally had small close friends we chatted to. So small talk was had while we undressed and had the shower. Being a cross country runner I have no problem with nudity as many races we often have to strip off in open fields to get out of muddy clothes and I have always thought we are all the same so why make a fuss.
I was last out of the shower and came out into the dressing area drying myself as I went to my clothes. One of the other lads had already gone leaving just Colin and myself. I don't know what we were chatting about but when I looked up he had his eyes fixed on my body almost as if he was transfixed on something. I was a bit taken back by this and he suddenly realised that I had noticed him and he turned away very quickly. He never spoke again and dressed and left to go up to the presentation. He avoided my eye line at the presentation and I thought he must just be embarrassed.
The incident stayed in my head after the presentation. What would a man 20 years younger than me see in a 5ft 10" thin man who is only packing 4"soft thin cock. I thought about it and the only conclusion I came to was, he was either day dreaming, had never seen a man with a shaved body (I do have hair on my head) or he liked what he saw. The last was the most unlikely although the thought of that was very flattering. Not that I have ever been with another man or that Colin was gay.
The following morning the incident was still on my mind and I wondered if I should message Colin, making light of the situation in some way. So I looked his email address up on the club's website and typed the following message.
"Colin. I am sorry if I caused you any embarrassment yesterday evening. I am often casual with my being naked in changing rooms and areas. Having spent years changing from cross country runs in car parks and fields. I have no problems with mine or anybody else's naked body." Robin.
I pressed send and wondered if that either ease his embarrassment and clear any worries he would have.
On my drive into work I heard my phone ping to inform me I had received a message. Was this a reply from Colin or just a false alarm. Thoughts of every possibility went through my mind as I continued on my journey. Finally parking the car I reached for the phone and saw the email was from Colin. I opened the email to read.
"Thank you for your email. I am normally a very shy person but answering your message via email makes this a lot easier. You were in no way to blame for me staring at you. I was admiring your body and have no excuse. I am glad I did not embarrass you but can I just say you have a lovely body. I also have to admit that I fall into the category of bi sexual not that I have had a lot of experience with either sex. Once again thank you for the email."
I was so pleased to have received his email and his honesty about the incident. His comments about my lovely body were very flattering but his admission to being bi sexual opened up all sorts of thoughts. I did not mind him being bi sexual but was it a hint of maybe asking how I saw myself?
Thinking about my reply I felt I should be as honest as he was and that way all my questions, thoughts and worries would be answered in one go and so I set about writing my response.
"Thank you for your email. Your honesty has opened several questions so here goes. I have always been hetrosexual but have to admit that other options have come into my head. Having never even kissed another man I do not know how I would feel and maybe we fantasize beyond what we would do. If you would like to meet up for a coffee or go for a run so that we can chat then I am very happy to do that. Although I think you might need to be patient with me and I can not say it will go very far."
Colin's reply came back in 10 minutes.
"My text was written to see how you felt about maybe a meet up. I am no expert as I am so shy on a one to one basis that I have not had many partners. Also it is easy to send a message on email but completely different actually saying them. I will be honest if I just got to see your body once more I would be delighted but of course being naked in a changing room and naked in a house may well be a totally different thing. I would love to meet up for coffee to chat.
