I wrote of some of my bi experiences that have happened in the past in "My first guy"; "Business trip" and "Field trip to a bathhouse" This story brings my life up to date. It is a true story that happened a couple weeks ago. I truly hope you enjoyed.
---------------------------------------------
Twenty-eight years old becomes forty-two in a blink of a eye. It had been fourteen years since Mike had reopened the floodgates of my thirst for men. It helped getting a few promotions at my employment. I was able to move my family from our sleepy little town to bigger cities where men were more available. Buffalo NY, Miami/Ft Lauderdale FL, Boston MA, were among my companies transfers over a ten year span. In all those cities I had a lot of occasions for me to fuck around with men, thanks to the internet. Through surfing the web, I was able to hook up with men on adult sites, find gay bars and check out bathhouses.
The last transfer brought me to Columbus, Ohio. Things were going well until the economy finally caught up with my employer. Nine months after walking through the door of my new office, I was locking that door for the last time and depositing my severance check into the bank. It didn't take me long to see that thirty-two percent of my wages on unemployment insurance wasn't going to keep my wife and I in the lifestyle that we were used to.
I called a friend who was running a office for a nation wide home improvement company (I had got him the job fifteen years ago), pulled my construction equipment out of retirement, and for the first time in 18 years I was installing vinyl siding again.
I started off on small jobs to get my feet wet but was soon taking on more challenging jobs. I was soon busy enough that I needed a helper to make the jobs go faster. I found out quickly that even in a recession, good help was hard to find. I went through four helpers in 6 months.
After finishing a job and firing helper # 4, I decided to stop by a quiet little gay bar in down town. I went to the men's room and came across the announcement board. Next to the out of date party announcements and rooms for rent ads was this note:
"21 year old OSU student looking for summer work".
I thought about it for a minute. If I was to hire a helper from the announcement board of a gay bar, the helper would know I was gay...or at least bi. Maybe it was the beers I just had, but I felt brave. I called the phone number attached..
After two rings a young mans voice answered. "Hello?"
"Hi" I said, "I saw your on note for employment at the bar. Are you still looking for work?"
"YES!" came a quick response, which was replaced with a more fearful voice when he asked, "What would I be doing?"
"Have you ever done construction?"
"Mmm...not really, but I am willing to learn."
"Tell you what, if you have an hour or two, we can meet bar and chat."
"Sure...I'll be there in twenty minutes," and he hung up the phone.
Almost twenty minutes on the dot walked in a boy about 5'7, 120 lbs brown hair and hazel eyes. I would have thought he was still in high school if it went for the "barb wire" tattoo on his right bicep. He truly was a cute.
We chatted for awhile and with a new job starting the next day, I decided to give him a chance.
"You're hired. You start tomorrow. I'll pick you up at your house at 7am."
"Cool" said the boy named Joey. I got his address and left. To say I was nervous was a understatement. This was truly hitting close to home. My wife had not met or even talked to my other helpers, so I thought I was safe.
Turns out my worries were groundless. For the next 3 weeks I worked with Joey. He was straight acting and was quite funny. Still, he was really raw on knowledge of construction. I even had to teach him how to read a tape measure. But Joey really was a quick learner. Every once in a while he would make a mistake but his cute little ass on a ladder and the puppy dog eyes as he would say "sorry" made it difficult to stay mad at him for long. During the job we would talk about many things, sports mostly. Finally I did get brave enough to ask him how he learned of the bar where he posted that note.
