I am personally very interested in physical activities, sports and the like. We have this association of people in our town who regularly arrange excursions, hikes, competitions and I am one of the first to join. Let me give you a few more details about myself. I am twenty-one years of age and am currently working for a software company. I lead this very dry life with no social activities whatsoever. The reason for that is that I am a closet homosexual. I just don't like girls and I don't have the guts to approach any guy. I am probably the only virgin twenty-one year old in this town. The only interesting things that happen in my life are these hikes and sports I was talking about.
As usual I got notice of a hike that was being arranged for the next week. I promptly registered myself and got my things ready. It was going to be a weekend excursion. We normally have a single day hike. This was the first time we were going out on a weekend trip. I was all the more happy. As it was, I had nothing to do all weekend. Thankfully at least the next weekend would pass off eventfully.
I was among one of the first to arrive at the decided spot. I had packed a few essentials in a backpack, which I had on my back. Clothes did not take up much space because I would be wearing shorts and sleeveless tees. Slowly all the regulars started gathering. The only new person was a tall striking man in his early thirties who was with the Dobsons, a couple with whom I exchanged pleasantries. The couple who were in their mid forties had not missed a single outing since I knew them. I really admired their grit. I could not help but look at this man. He was everything I could wish for. A strong face with sculpted cheekbones, muscular arms revealed by a short T-shirt and sexy legs covered with hair. All my pent-up desires came flowing out and I fervently hoped none of the lust that I was feeling was showing on my face. To my surprise, the trio were walking towards me. I wondered what they wanted with me?
"Hello there, Patrick," Mrs. Dobson spoke. "All set I see." I just nodded. "Well, I would like to introduce my nephew to you. His name is Jason. He is a hike enthusiast just like you. I figured he could hang out with you during the hike. You see, we just can't keep up with you lads, and Jason is too kind to leave us behind and go ahead. So if you would be kind enough to team up with him, Robert and me will keep up at our own pace. Would you mind?"
Mind? Was she kidding me? To have a chance to team up with this guy, even though for a platonic hike was the best thing that had happened to me in God knows how long. I would turn cartwheels if I thought people wouldn't thinks of my as crazy. But obviously I couldn't let them feel my excitement. A placid Ok was all I could manage.
Jason came forward and held out his hand. "Thanks a lot ,β he said. "I sure appreciate what you are doing for me. Are you sure it will not be a problem with your friends?" "Uh - I am not answerable to anybody. In fact, it's just going to be the two of us."
"Oh that's great." With that, he remained by my side till all of us hikers were ready to move.
As usual, all of us did not move together. The trail chosen was very easy to track on a map and all of us had one. The modus operandi was to mark certain landmarks as halts. Everyone could set each or her own pace and make it to the halts. There all of us would sit down to have refreshments and then proceed to the next halt. So Jason and I set our own pace and soon, we had left most of the group behind. He was keeping up very well, I could see. We had walked many miles and he didn't seem tired at all.
Just to keep talking, I said "I see that you are used to this sort of thing." "Oh yeah, I am addicted to hikes and walks. Just give me a trail and I am all set. You too are a pro, I see. You have got powerful thighs and calves." Surprised at this compliment I looked down and saw that indeed, my legs were pretty impressive. Funny, I had never really noticed that. I had not expected him to really notice anything about me. It would have been so nice if he had been gay. So engrossed was I in my thoughts that I didn't notice a vine on the ground, with the result that I tripped and fell down hard.
A sharp pain jolted up my knee and I was sure that I had definitely twisted it. I felt so dumb. How could I be so stupid. Jason immediately bent down and took my foot in his hands. "Are you ok?β he asked, running his hand over my knee. I felt this wonderful tingling sensation run up my leg. Was it just my imagination or was he softly caressing the back of my knee?
"Uh, no. I am ok. ,β I said. When I began to get up, I promptly fell down. "On second thoughts, I am not so ok. I was hoping I had not sprained my knee, but that seems to be the case." All at once, I felt this sense of dejection. Why did this have to happen to me just today, when I finally had something to look forward to. Now I would probably would have to return back and I would not see Jason anymore.
