My name is Mike. I'm forty years old, married with 2 beautiful daughters. But this story is about what happened to me 10 years ago.
The back story. I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Graduated high school and went to college at Case Western Reserve College. Once I graduated with my BS degree in Business, I started a job in Chicago.
All through High School and College I didn't have much of a social life because I devoted all of my time to my studies. In Chicago I became totally devoted to my job. I worked hard and long hours to make a success of myself. It paid off for me very well. After 5 years of hard work, my reward was to be regional director of sales, out of Columbus, OH. I was given a company car with a company credit card for my expenses.
My work area was, besides Columbus, Lexington KY, Wheeling WV, and Cleveland OH. I would spend 1 day each at the outer lying areas and the 2 days left over I was in the Columbus office. I worked it to where I would be in the Cleveland office on Fridays so that after work I would head over and stay at my parent's house. I would help my Dad around the house with his projects and my Mom would do my laundry. Worked out pretty good for me, I hate doing laundry. Then I would head back home Sunday evening.
With all the traveling I went through a lot of gas for the car. There was a Speedway gas station not too far from my house, so I would always stop there when I got back to town and fuel up for the next day's trip.
I never actually went into the Speedway; I always just got my fuel and got the receipt from the pump. This had gone on for about a year. Then one day the pump was out of paper and I had to go inside to get my receipt.
This is where the real story takes place. When I went in to get my receipt there was a guy at the register, that for some reason, really caught my eye. He was small in frame, and had very feminine features about him. He wasn't a crossdresser or a transsexual but there was just something about him that really got my attention. As he spoke to me, he had that type of voice and mannerisms that let you know that he was gay. Very gay.
He handed me my receipt and as our hands touched, he seemed to hang onto the piece of paper longer than he needed to. I swear I felt a tingle run through me when he smiled at me and told me to have a nice day.
