Note: I've deliberately withheld the names of the housemates in this story for two reasons: firstly, we are still friends, and secondly, they are authors on this website, like me. Sure, I could make up names for them, but why bother? Anyway, this story contains depictions of gay sex and water sports. For those that are squeamish about such topics, feel free to move along. Otherwise, enjoy!
*****
I arrived back at the student house about forty minutes after kissing goodbye to Samantha, the stunning T-girl I met two nights before in a shitty Leeds nightclub, fully expecting a roasting from Lyndon and his study buddies. To my surprise, nothing of the sort happened. They knew I scored but not with whom, and I so I was able to obscure some details, but there was no need to embellish the quality of the sex I experienced nor the character of her personality. The high fives flew thick and fast because all of us were successful either on Friday or Saturday night, so the resort to gay sex wasn't required.
The lads were planning an afternoon ramble in the countryside followed by a drinking session at a country inn. I was invited, but I had class next day, and, since the end-of-year exams were fast approaching, it seemed folly to skive off. Still, the weather was just right for drinking. We had some time to wait before the bus was due and I found my thoughts drifting back to the sultry Samantha. Was there any way I could engineer a way to spend a few hours together after our drinking session? Remember, communication channels in the early nineties were limited to pay phones and letters with email still in its infancy.
Sam gave me her telephone number before we parted, and there was a pay phone on the next street by the convenience store. So, under the guise of buying some beers, I decided to call her and see if there was any interest. Still, it would be rude to bail on my friends that were considerate enough to invite out for an afternoon in the country, and, by extension, put me up for another night.
I announced my intention of buying some beers and no-one seemed suspicious. Minutes later, I was outside Patel's 24-Hour Convenience. The pay phone was free and, once inside, I dialled Sam's number but felt very nervous with sweat prickling my brow as I waited for her to pick up the receiver.
Shit! The call went to her answer phone.
"Erm," I began, trying to construct some sort of message, "It's Jason. Erm. Just letting you know...that..I...erm, really enjoyed spending time with you, and...erm."
At the moment, Sam interrupted the answer phone.
"Hi, Jason. Nice surprise."
"Oh, hi." I reacted with a mixture of shock and surprise, "Screening your calls?"
"Always. I wasn't expecting to hear from you so soon. It's nice."
The silence from my end appeared to drag on for eternity.
"Erm, yeah," I stammered, eventually, "What you up to?"
"Getting ready to catch up with some friends. You'll be at the train station by now?"
"Well...erm," This was becoming awkward for me, "The lads invited me out for an afternoon ramble in the country."
Silence.
Come on, hurry up and say something.
The guys nursed an intense dislike for Sam who they called Teresa for some reason, and regularly piled on unwarranted and bigoted abuse whenever they mt socially. I was baffled by their attitude towards her, and it took real effort on my part to convince Sam that I wasn't like them. After that, we spent a wonderful weekend together. However, I knew she wasn't sanguine about my choice of friends.
"I was actually calling to see if we might spend some more time together?" I prompted.
Silence.
I could hear her breath down the phone line but little else.
"What did you tell them about me?"
"I told them I met a wonderful person called Sam who showed me a great time," I replied with confidence and truth, "End of story."
I heard a sigh of relief and an easing of tension.
"You told them that, for real?"
"I did." She heard the pride in my voice.
"Well, I wasn't expecting that."
"Expecting what?"
"Expecting you to say nice things about me to your friends, expecting you to stay in town and expecting you to call me so soon."
"I'm not like them." I remined her, "I wasn't expecting to stay here either, but now that I am, I wondered if there was a chance to catch up?"
"I've made plans for this afternoon, but maybe later. Can't guarantee it though."
"It's fine. I realise that this was last minute decision on my part, so please don't make any changes to your plans," I said, "If you can't squeeze me in today, we can do something another time."
I sensed Sam smile at the suggestion of something ongoing developing between us.
"I'd like that."
With it being unlikely that we would see each other today, we ended the phone call on an optimistic and upbeat note before I made my way back to the student house where I wasn't missed.
After a beer or two, we departed the house and made our way to the bus stop. Passing Patel's 24-Hour Convenience again allowed us to stock up on some additional beers for the hour-long trip.
The four of us alighted from the bus in a small, picturesque village, nestled in a valley. One of the guys had the map, and off we trod, out into the countryside. None of us had been here previously, so we didn't know what to expect, but the weather was great and the scenery fantastic.
Not too long into our exploration, the path led into a wooded area, and off to one side, we saw a steep rock face with a rope swing attached to a tall tree at the top. Obviously, the locals made their own fun around here, so we decided to investigate. Scrambling up the steep, stony incline and gazing back to where we have just come from, revealed the swing to be quite the adrenaline sport. With some difficulty, we managed to snag the swing and get it up the rock face so that we could experience this local entertainment, and hair raising it was!
A little while later, I wandered off into the bush to take a piss and came upon a crude shelter constructed of broken branches and covered in leaves. Curious, I made my way over to it and looked inside. The was nothing of value in there except a black bin liner in the corner which I opened revealing a bonanza.
There were stacks and stacks of soft-core porno magazines: Club, Escort, Razzle, Readers Wives, even a couple of Playboys. You name it, they were there! There were also some hardcore German mags as well. All looked to be in decent condition with no wank stains and sticky pages. Any thoughts of needing a piss vanished in my zeal to get back to my mates and report my discovery.
Back at the rock face, Lyndon was stood at the edge with his cock out pissing over the side. A completion was in progress with who could piss the furthest.
"Hey guys," I said, out of breath, "Guess what I found?"
"Two Swedish hikers rubbing lotion into each other's naked bodies?"
More laughter as the three of them unleashed their bladders over the edge.
"Not quite," I replied, joining in the laughter, "A massive pile of porno mags!"
"What? Where?"
