After I left for college in the fall of 1987. Jeff, Steve and I stayed in touch as best we could. But as is the case, especially when you're of different ages, it can get tough to do so sometimes.
The following summer of 1988, I was working a lot to save money for school and also started to date my future wife. Because of these two situations, my social circle narrowed a bit and Steve and Jeff were part of that.
Two years later my girlfriend became my wife after becoming pregnant. So I had to leave school and head into the workforce. A year and a half later we added yet another child into our fold and at the age of twenty-three, my life revolved around family, work and the house we bought, about an hour from the old neighborhood.
As for Jeff and Steve, we spoke occasionally on the phone and still got together a couple of times a year to shoot the shit over some beers, but nothing like back in the day.
It was the fall of 1994 and I got a call from Steve that Jeff's dad had passed. He gave me all the pertinent details about the wake and funeral. Everyone that you expected to see from the neighborhood was there, paying their respects. It was good to see so many of the people from the neighborhood. It truly made me miss those times.
It also made me think back and remember some of those times and some of the things that went on.
About a month after the wake, I got a call from Jeff asking if I would be willing to help him move something's from his Mom's house. She sold the house and was moving closer to Jeff's older brother and his family.
Jeff said, "We're having an estate sale the weekend of the 18th and 19th and I could use some help on Sunday, loading up anything that doesn't sell and taking it to the local donation center. Steve and a couple of others will be there as well."
First of all, how could I say no to helping out a friend? Secondly, I had so enjoyed seeing everyone and being socially involved with them at the wake, I could hardly wait to see them again.
I told Jeff, "Of course I will be there. I look forward to seeing you and helping out. Whatever you need, Jeff. You know that."
Jeff thanked me and gave me the time he was asking everyone to be there. That morning I told my wife that I wasn't sure how long I was going to be. It really depended on how much stuff sold and how much was left to move.
I got to Jeff's around 10:00 that day. There were about two dozen people rummaging through the house looking at stuff. Besides myself, Steve and Jeff, there were two other girls that we grew up with helping with collecting money and bagging things up. The three of us were helping people load up some of the bigger ticket items that were purchased.
By around 4:00, most of the house was empty. We spent the next hour packing up a truck Jeff rented to take the remaining things to the donation center. The girls had left when all the heavy lifting started.
Jeff looked at Steve and I and said, "I really just need one of you to follow me to the donation center and then to drop off the truck and give me a ride home."
I spoke up first saying, " I can do it, as I could use a little longer break from the wife and kids before having to head home. "
Steve was good with that and we said our goodbyes. Jeff and I dropped off the remaining house stuff at the donation center and the truck and headed back to the house.
Jeff had been sleeping there the last several days and still had some minor cleaning up to do. When we got back to the house Jeff asked me.
"Do you want to come in and grab a beer or two?"
It still wasn't too late so I agreed and went in. We shared small talk over the first beer and then Jeff asked, "You want to hang for a bit and we can order a pizza?"
I thought about it for a second, said sure and then called home to let the wife know my plans.
Jeff called and ordered the pizza and then said, "I'm going to take a quick shower upstairs and change. If you like there's another downstairs that you can use."
Now, unlike Jeff, I didn't have any clothes to change in to, but a quick rinse would feel good. So I finished my beer and went downstairs and took a quick shower. After toweling off I got dressed, but left my sweaty underwear off. I had just sat down on the couch downstairs when I heard Jeff heading down from upstairs.
I turned in the direction of the stairs and my eyes were instantly fixated on the bulge in the sweat pants that he was wearing. I could see from across the room that he was not wearing any underwear as his dick was bouncing around as he walked downstairs.
Jeff walked down looked at me and asked, "You need another beer?"
I said, "I most certainly do." Jeff brought in a couple of beers and we sat down on the couch and chatted for fifteen to twenty minutes. During this time I couldn't help myself from occasionally glancing down at his lap hoping to catch a glimpse of that bulge again.
The pizza arrived and we sat downstairs eating pizza, drinking beer and reminiscing about our childhood and growing up in the neighborhood.
After eating two more pieces than either of us needed, Jeff got up and excused himself to use the bathroom. It was now around 7:30 and probably time for me to start thinking about heading home.
As Jeff walked back into the room I stood up from the couch and said, "Hey man, thanks for everything today. I'm glad I was able to come over and help, but it's starting to get late so I should probably head home, as long as there's nothing else you need."
This part seemed to happen in slow motion just like the other first time.
Jeff took a couple of steps towards me and I could see his right hand slide down and grab his dick through his sweat pants. At this point, he was a step or two right in front of me. Jeff took his left hand and placed on my right shoulder. His right was still massaging his dick. He looked me square in the eyes and said.
"This last month has been extremely emotional and stressful and I'm very thankful to have true friends like you that I could really rely on to be there for me."
I was touched by his words and responded with, "Of course, man. Not an issue. Anything you need, I'm here for you." And with that Jeff kind of got this coy smile and ever so slightly tilted his head down and rolled his eyes towards the floor.
As I followed his gaze down it led straight to his right hand that had not stopped massaging his dick. At this point, there was more than just a small bulge in his sweat pants.
At this point, Jeff removed his right hand from his dick and placed it on my left shoulder and with the slightest of effort pushed down on both my shoulders and I instantly dropped to my knees.
The bulge in his pants was now staring me in the face. Jeff's hands fell off my shoulders and to his sides. Without thinking, I took both my hands and reached up and grabbed the waistband of his sweat pants on both sides and pulled them down to his ankles. As I did this, his cock was pulled down and then when released from the waistband, it bounced back up so that it was parallel to the ground I knelt on and right in front of my face.
