I never knew the man who donated the sperm to my mom to have me. It was just me and her for the first eight years of my life. Well, we also had the man whose house she cleaned. She called him Mister Terrance. I called him Dad. Neither of them ever corrected me. We also had Jerry, the tall skinny white guy that lived with Dad.
Dad and Jerry loved me like I was theirs, so it was no surprise to me that they took me in when my Mama passed. I loved them and wanted to be like them, a strong powerful proud Black man like Dad, and a caring open hearted gentle man like Jerry. They were my idols, and the love that flowed between them was what I wanted for me.
Of course they explained to me the birds, the bees and what men do for other men on their knees. I was free to choose who I wanted to date, no judgement. By the time I graduated high school, I left a string of broken hearts behind, but I was still a virgin. I wanted my first time to be with someone that made me feel the way Jerry and my Dad felt toward one another.
When I went off to college, every one tried to get into my pants, and I mean everyone. Boys, girls, straight, gay, bi, or just curious. I know I look like a stud, being five eight with a creamy caramel complexion and loose curls cascading down my scalp. The fact I have twenty four inch biceps and a forty eight inch chest didn't hurt.
It was my junior year that my Dad called me late one night and told me that Jerry had passed. We were devastated. After the funeral, I threw myself into my studies and the gym. I graduated top of my class, two sizes bigger and a great job offer in the city. I worried about my Dad, but Ty kept an eye on him for me.
I wanted to come home, but Dad wouldn't let me pass up the opportunity. So here I was, twenty three with a good paying job, body and looks everyone drools over, place to myself, and still a virgin. I was making bank at my job, but I just wasn't into the bar scene. I am the guy that likes cuddling on the couch over screaming over music in some club.
So Saturday nights, I spent doing laundry. Most everyone else in the building was getting ready for their nights out, I was washing my underwear. That's when I met him. Freddy. There was something about Freddy. He had curly brown hair that fell all around his head, these happy amber brown eyes and a shy smile.
He was a bit scrawny for my taste and he was about an inch taller than me. What got me was that he made me laugh. He struck up a conversation with me and that was it. I looked forward to talking to him while my underwear tumbled in front of us. Freddy was always a little dirty, and his clothes didn't really fit right.
It was a month of Saturday nights that I realized I was the only one doing laundry. That's when I started picking up on the clues that Freddy was homeless and was camping out in our laundry room. I didn't know how to bring it up, so I just started bringing pizzas down with me to share with him.
I did get a little worried when September hit and the air got a little colder, but when the building manager posted that the laundry room was going to be closed for two weeks for renovations, I nearly panicked. So that Saturday night, I shared my pizza and did my laundry with Freddy, but instead of leaving him down there. I decided I would do what Jerry or my Dad would do.
"Freddy, you know they are going to close the laundry room for two weeks for renovations." He didn't say anything. "I know you've been staying down here." Still nothing. "Freddy, it's getting cold outside." I looked over at him, he was just staring down at the floor. "I consider you a friend, Freddy, and I want you to come stay with me."
He didn't say anything for the longest time when he got up. I saw him moving towards the door but I moved quickly to block him. "Anthony, I need to start looking for some place to stay." He tried to move around me but I blocked him again. "Anthony, I can't stay in your apartment with you. It just isn't right."
"It is, and you will." I put every bit of authority in my voice I could. "Now go grab my basket and we'll go upstairs." He arched an eyebrow at me. "You can't run away if you got clothes." I grinned at him and he smiled back amused. I did appreciate the stretch of his pants across his ass when he lifted the basket up.
Back in my apartment, I found an old pair of sweats and a tank top that I gave Freddy before ushering him into the bathroom. I gave him a spare toothbrush and left him to wash up while I started folding laundry. The thing about having work clothes and gym clothes to wash, is that you have a lot of laundry.
When Freddy came out the bathroom, he was struggling to keep the sweats I gave him up. I should have known that they'd be too big for him, but it was all I had. "Here, let me help." I said getting up and moving over to him. I began rolling the top down. My fingers touched his skin and I had to fight the urge to just let the sweats fall to the floor and indulge my urges.
I had them rolled to his hips when he looked up into my eyes. There was this electricity between us. I felt my heart racing. I ran my finger across this exposed skin. I knew I was crushing on Freddy from the moment I saw him. Now I was sure that I wanted him. I wanted him to take my virginity.
"Anthony." His voice had a hint of fear and lust in it. "Are you okay?" He wasn't sure if I was going to kiss him or punch him. He made to move away, but I held him, pulled him close to me. "Anthony, what are you doing?" His breathing was quickening, I was lengthening. "Anthony?" He closed his eyes and parted his lips.
I kissed him. I hugged his body close, rolling my hips against his. His arms came around my neck. I had kissed before, boys, girls, then men and women, but that kiss was the one that told me that Freddy was the one. My hand moved down to his buttocks, cupping it through the baggy sweats. He let out a squeak of approval.
He's held onto me like I was a dream that fades away when you wake up. I moved us to the couch. We laid down, me on top of him, pinning him down with my bulk. His hands moved under my old tee. I felt his nails scrape down my back when I teased the soft flesh of his neck. It only made me want him more.
