Dressed in jeans and boots, a button-down striped shirt, and my favorite tan coat, I was standing in the kitchen drinking coffee when Tammy entered the room.
"You are up early and dressed already! And you aren't in work clothes! What's up with you today, handsome? Do you have a date or something?" Tammy asked with a suspicious laugh.
I raised my eyebrows and said, "Actually, yes. I do have a date. A breakfast date. And I'm late, so I'm out of here!"
Tammy shot back, "Not so fast, big fellow! What do you mean by 'having a date'"?
I laughed and said, "I'm meeting an apple of your eye named Michael at City Cafe for breakfast. He texted last night and said it's been a while, so could we catch up? I agreed, and we decided on breakfast this morning."
It seemed as if I was getting better at lying to Tammy. I had been doing it so frequently lately, and I had never done it before! It was actually me who had called Michael and set up the meeting, not how I explained it.
Tammy laughed and said, "Give your breakfast date, my love, and don't cover your food in salt and butter!"

The Mom and Pop Cafe is a greasy spoon! But the food is delicious. After a little catching up and family gossip, I got to the topic.
I asked Michael, "Do you know Brian Gibbons."
Michael replied, "Sure, Dad. He graduated the same year I graduated from high school. He was in my class, don't you remember? And he is the local UPS delivery driver."
I said, "OK. Tell me what you know about him. Everything."
Michael said, "I'm sure this is going somewhere, but ok. He was a jock. Like me, he played football and basketball, lifted weights, and was on my golf team.
He was a cocky bully. He strutted around like he was hot shit, but in reality he wasn't."
I asked, "Strutted around all cocky? With a short skinny dick?"
Michael looked at me and said, "Tell me what the fuck is up?"
I said, "Tell me about his wife."
Michael sighed and said, "He married Shannon Sims. She was in the class behind us. They both took some classes at the Junior College, and she later got her cosmology license, and he went to work for UPS. Her parents are Tom and Linda Borden. He owns the cement plant."
I said, "I know Tom and Linda."
Michael said, "Your turn. Spill the beans."
So I did. I explained everything that happened at Smokey Joe's. Everything, in great detail. I told Michael how I had to throw Tyler under the bus because the packages were indeed mine. I mean, I need KY and a cock ring, a few butt plugs, and some other things, but I couldn't tell anyone that!
Michael leaned back and said, "Wow. Well, that explains a lot. He was always the first one in the shower and the last one out. He strutted around wearing only a towel and actually had been called a Peter Gazer. He would get so pissed at that and grab his dick and say something like you wished you had this! But we had all just seen it in the shower, and it wasn't that impressive, as you already know! But he did have an impressive chest and huge arms. He was very muscular. He took his work out seriously."
I laughed and said, "I do."
But Michael looked at me and said, "Dad, how wrong would it be if Sarah and I gave them a call and asked them out on a date?"
I was speechless. I sat and stared at him, not knowing what to say.
Michael said, "Sarah knows nothing about Matthew, you, or anyone else, but she knows I have a side that might try it, and yes, Sarah has had a girlfriend. Initially, that's what drew us together. But we have talked about the what-ifs and, who knows, this might be it. It sounds like Brian is looking for a big dick, and I fit that bill!"
I said, "But that means I told you. he would know I shared his story."
Michael thought for a minute and said, "I will tell him Tyler told me. I'll say that you did your bitching thing to Tyler, and he came and confided in me,"
