My mom wheeled her carry on suitcase to the front door, her blond ponytail and big booty bouncing in rhythm as she walked. She kissed my new stepdad goodbye. "See you in two days. Love you!"
"Have fun at your conference. Love you too!"
She rolled her eyes. "A fun conference? That's an oxymoron." She glanced at the time on her cell phone. "Shite, gotta run! Bye Hunter!" She blew me a kiss and dashed out to the waiting Uber ride.
My stepdad, Jamal, strolled to the fridge and got two Shiner Bock beers. He's tall, perhaps six foot four, with a heavily muscled body, a handsome face, and skin the color of dark chocolate. Except for my height - I'm just over six foot one - we're almost physical opposites. Like my mom, I've got fair freckled Celtic skin, blue-green eyes, long ash blond hair tied in a ponytail, and a slim physique except for a disproportionately large round booty. I dislike having such a soft feminine ass, but I can't change it no matter how much I work out. So I've come to terms with the occasional teasing and comradely playful slaps I get from drunk guys seeking to feel it up, but with plausible deniability.
It's given me empathy into what good-looking women must endure from horny guys on a regular basis. Though that veers dangerously close into feelings and sharing and bonding and stuff, which I've been sternly warned is a leading indicator of possibly being Teh Gay TM, along with good personal hygiene and grooming. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
But I digress.
Jamal popped the tops on the beer bottles and held one out to me. In his slow rich Southern drawl, he said, "Hey Hunter, let's have a drink together, get better acquainted."
"Um... I'm eighteen. Not supposed to be drinking."
Jamal slowly and ostentatiously scanned the room. "Hmm. Don't see no beer poh-leece here." He scratched his tightly curled black hair, adorned with a touch of distinguished grey at the temples, feigning bafflement. "Maybe they're hiding in the closet, ready to pounce on me for corrupting a minor?"
I rolled my eyes. "Fine. Beguile me into a life of crime, sir." I took the proffered ice cold beer. We both took a long swig.
"Soo..." Jamal said. "Does it feel weird having a stepdad?"
"Not nearly as weird as being a little kid watching my mom get beaten up by the sumbitch who preceded you in her affections."
"Tell me how you really feel."
"He set a low bar for parenting greatness. All you gotta do is be chill and not an arsehole, and we'll get along fine before I head off to Huston-Tillotson in the fall."
His eyes narrowed in amusement. "You goin' to the black college in Austin?"
"Like my mom, I'm attracted to melanin enriched people. When I visited the campus, H-T was chock full of smoking hot women."
He held out his beer, and we clinked the bottles together. "Mah MAN."

We were halfway through the last two beers of a six pack when Jamal said, "Tell me the strangest thing that's happened to you recently."
I looked at him shyly, feeling more than a little buzzed. "You first."
"Marrying your mom and moving from Atlanta to this tiny ass rural Texas town. I mean, for fucks sakes, when I first got here, I went to that one room tourist info building. When I asked their lone employee what's the best things to do here, she said, 'Buy some smoked sausage and get outta this hellhole.' Granted, the highs were over 100 degrees that whole month." He looked off in the distance, thinking, then swung his gaze back. "I mean, it's aiight. She's a wonderful woman. Just -- never thought I'd fall in love with anyone. Be a playa all my life, yeah? Then it snuck up on me. Boom. Total blindside." He narrowed his eyes. "Took a lotta work to overcome her -- baggage." His Atlanta drawl stretched 'baggage' out to three, maybe four syllables.
"If by 'baggage', you mean the weirdness caused by marrying a seemingly nice guy who turned out to be a wife-beating sociopath -- yeah, I'd be gun shy too. I mean, literally gun shy. Guy had an armory."
"Well, she had the good sense to divorce his sorry ass when she realized he wasn't gonna change."
"Like she says, being a single mom beats being beaten."
He nodded, waiting. Finally he said, "Your turn. If you want to share, that is."
I looked down shyly. "It's -- it's kind of personal. Borderline TMI."
Jamal perked up. "I enjoy the hell outta borderline inappropriate stuff. Now you GOTTA tell me."
I looked in his handsome dark brown eyes, weighing him.
"I'm great at keeping a secret," he said. "What gets said here, stays here."
I finished off the last of my third beer. What the hell. "I've been having this recurring dream about sex."
He waited. Finally -- "That's your big reveal? That you have erotic dreams? Welcome to being a guy. C'mon. Details."
I took a deep breath. Exhaled. "In these dreams, I keep getting seduced by men who tell these blatant lies to trick me into doing -- stuff. Except the lies are so obvious that they're just a way to let me rationalize what I'm doing." I pause. "So, I'm wondering if I'm maybe gay, having dreams like this."
His eyes twinkled with amusement. "Son, dreams don't make you gay. Having gay sex with men, and liking it, means you're gay. Or at least bi. So, in the dreams, what do you do?"
"Everything."
"As in..."
"Jacking off together. Oral sex. Anal sex. You know - everything."
"You the top in these scenarios? Or the bottom?"
I blushed. "Always the one taking it."
"So, you do any of this in real life?"
"Nah. Never."
"You only have sex with women, and you're wondering if your dreams make you gay? Seriously?"
I blushed even more. Looked down.
Jamal reached out and squeezed my shoulder. "You're a virgin? Good looking guy like you? Seems like you'd be drowning in pussy with even a little effort."
"I -- I'm really shy around women. Can't fucking help it."
"Sooo... you have no idea if you're straight or bi or gay, because you've never tried it."
I steeled myself, looked him directly in the eyes. "I've been thinking about trying it with a guy, but what if whoever I approached told the whole fucking town? A conservative rural town in Texas like this, that might fuck up my whole summer before I go to college."
He polished off his beer, thinking about it. "How about we role play how you might entice a guy, but with plausible deniability?"
"Uh... sure. But, you gotta promise to keep this a secret. Don't even tell mom."
"Don't worry. Not gonna out you, Mister Maybe I'm Gay Boy." He stepped closer, almost uncomfortably inside my personal space. "So, pretend I'm a guy you feel is attractive, and we're alone in a room, just chatting. If he makes you laugh, touch his shoulder."
