My journey continues. As always all names and locations have been changed to maintain anonymity. Thanks to all those who have read, commented, followed and added to their favourites. As a new contributor this is very encouraging. This chapter takes a little time to get going.
As soon as I got indoors I went straight upstairs to my bedroom. I couldn't believe what had happened. What began as a day to remember had turned into one I wanted to forget.
How could I have been so fucking stupid. Lies, lies and more lies. The reason I was sitting on my bed, head in my hands and possibly about to be kicked out of swimming club. I was heartbroken. I thought hard about what coach said. I wanted to blame someone and I looked hard to do exactly that. But it was simple. It was my own idiotic fault. What I'd thought was a moment of brilliance, a great spin, had turned to disaster.
The only small chance it wouldn't happen, was that he'd said he needed to think about what he'd do. Maybe there was light at the end of pitch black tunnel I found myself in. It didn't feel like that.
How would I explain it to my mother or Lewis? It would just involve another lie. There was no way I could tell either the truth. I wasn't a liar normally. I hated liars. I had no idea what to do.
When the time came I told my mother that coach had let me off practice that evening because if the additional training I'd already done that week. Later Lewis called saying he hoped I felt better soon. Coach had been true to his word at least.
No masturbating that night. No fantasies of men or Phillip or coach.
Thursday I went to work as usual. I kept to my instruction to not wear underpants but I wasn't feeling particularly sexual. Phillip was his usual self, but he could see there was something wrong and offered to chat when the shop closed.
When we finished we went upstairs and he asked me what was wrong. I told him what had happened, It should have been a tale to make him proud of me. To make his beautiful cock hard. But it wasn't. He listened, as attentive as always, thought about his response and told me to take the following evening off, call coach and tell him the truth.
"Just tell him," he said. "I can deal with it, just don't tell him I know. He'll realise there's no girlfriend that's using the club to get your thrills from. That's the only reason he's considering kicking you out David." I wasn't sure. I didn't want to think Phillip was putting his reputation at risk.
"Listen David," he said earnestly. "I know how much the club means to you. I'm not ashamed of what we have. Tell him everything and that you made up the girlfriend so you could keep it secret." I still wasn't sure. "As long as he doesn't think I know and you're not using the club for anything other than swimming, he'll understand."
So we agreed to do that and rather than confuse the situation with sex he dropped me home. On the way he reiterated what he'd said and told me that he didn't want to know if anything else happened with coach. "I don't want you to have to keep up with lies to him. That's between you and him," he said. I couldn't thank Phillip enough for being so understanding. I felt better but I wasn't confident that coach would take me back and doubted anything more would happen. There would be a lot of questions.
As I lay in bed I went through what I'd say and hoped it would work.
Friday morning 9am I phoned coach. I told him I was sorry about what had happened, asking if I could speak to him to explain. I went as far as to tell him I didn't have a girlfriend and what I'd said was just a story I'd made up, but what I had to tell him couldn't be said over the phone. Thankfully he told me he'd pick me up at 11am and we could talk back at his.
It was an almost silent journey to his place, apart from a couple of pleasantries. I wasn't at all comfortable but I kept telling myself it was my own fault.
We got to his and he made us a coffee. "Ok Dave," he said. "Say what you need to say and we'll take it from there."
Holding my coffee with shaking hands I took a few sips, put the cup down on the coffee table and began.
I told him everything, from stealing the cigarettes to the last time with Phillip teaching me to worship a cock. I told him how I felt about Phillip, how it made me feel to be submissive, how being an exhibitionist made me feel, how hard punishment made me feel, how much I loved sucking his cock. I left nothing out.
It took nearly an hour to bare my soul to him and he didn't interrupt me once. When I finished he made us another coffee and we drank in silence while I watched him considering what I'd said.
"Have you spoken to Phillip to let him know you're telling me this?" he asked. I thought about what Phillip had said, but felt I shouldn't lie to him. So I told him that I had spoken to Phillip. Explaining that I was so upset about what had happened and that Phillip was the only person I knew who I could ask for advice. I also told him I didn't want to lie anymore to him.
I knew it was a risk, but I hoped coach would appreciate it more if I was just honest. "So he knows what happened on Wednesday," he said. It was a statement, but I responded anyway, saying Phillip knew but it was only because I'd needed advice.
He asked me if I intended to tell Phillip about our conversation. I said I didn't, other than to let him know if I'd been kicked out of the club or not. I went on to say if he still wanted to kick me out I'd understand, but the only reason I had lied was because I was scared of what he would think about me. He thanked me for being so honest.
He thought for a moment. "What you do outside the club doesn't bother me Dave. It's your life and you can choose how you live it," he said. "As long as it doesn't put the club at risk, it's fine. I understand why you lied and why you asked Phillip for advice. It must have been hard to tell me all of that."
He told me it explained a lot. Then said he was concerned that Phillip might be manipulating me. We went into a long conversation about that. He obviously cared about me both as a person and as a student. That was clear. I think he was surprised at my level of maturity considering it was still all new to me.
"So what we did on Wednesday must have seemed pretty boring," he said. His smile looked slightly sad. I wondered if he was upset to know what I had with Phillip. I'd just spent what was nearly 2 hours confessing how special Phillip was to me and assuring him I knew the complications. Maybe that had hurt his feelings.
I told him that it was far from boring. Quite the opposite and I'd been hoping for more. Then told him I was just sorry it had ended the way it had because of my own stupidity.
