Mason and Jack Chapter 6
The end of the school year was coming and we were all excited. I would be starting my senior year in the fall and Jack and Sandy would be starting their Freshman year.
Jack had settled in well with his father and Stephanie and things were going great. He hadn't had any other episodes relating to his mother and his heart seemed to be on the mend. We had gone out together several times, dinners, movies, etc. As far as our physical relationship, we hadn't moved past heavy making out and heavy petting. Trying to take it slow was my goal, because he was still young. I didn't want to pressure him into anything and I wanted our first time to be special. Very special. I was still a virgin and planned to stay that way until Jack and I were ready.
Summer came and went with Jack doing preseason sports camps and helping around his new home and me working full time. The first day of school came and I had spent the night at Jack's house the night before. We had decided we weren't going to hide our relationship any longer. We were going to arrive at school together and act like any other couple in the school.
Being in a small school had its advantages because I was very close with the principle and the superintendant and had spoken with them a few weeks before school started. Jack and I, along with my mother and Jack's father went to the school and had a sit down meeting with them both and a couple of the teachers I was closest to.
Everything seemed to be ok. We had the support of the staff and knew that our best interests would be the primary goal of everyone involved. Jack and I sat through the meeting on a couch, holding each others hand. My English teacher for the last three years pulled us from the office at the end of the meeting and to her classroom. I noticed the rainbow sticker that was stuck to the top frame of her door. I stopped just outside the door, smiled and said "Thank you." She turned, looked where I was looking and smiled also.
"It's the least I can do. I have a brother that's gay and he had a very difficult time growing up. I knew, but he didn't tell me until after he had moved away to college and met the love of his life. They've been together for almost 20 years now."
I reached for Jack's hand and pulled him to me. "Forever." Was all I said as I looked into his eyes.
He blushed lightly and said "Forever and ever," and reached his hand up to my face and rubbed his thumb across my cheek.
"Awwww." Ms Steinman said. I was then the one to blush. Jack and I had totally had a moment in front of one of the most important people we'd have on our side at school this year. "Don't you DARE be embarrassed." She said with a smile on her face and her hands clenched to her chest. "That was beautiful. You two remind me of my brother and his husband." She then turned on her heel and entered the classroom. "Sit down you too."
We did as asked and started talking about our relationship. How we met. How Jack denied it for so long. The reaction his mother had. The amazing support we had from Jack's father and stepmother, and my mother. It was good to be able to speak with someone so openly and candidly about our relationship that wasn't related. We were in that classroom talking, laughing and crying for a couple of hours. Jack and I finally left and went to the next town over for dinner. We were both very proud to have a support network at school and we could be ourselves, within reason of course.
So we woke the first day of school in Jack's bed with him in my arms. He rolled over and gave me a light good morning kiss, saying "Morning Love."
"Good morning to you too, Baby. Are we ready for this?"
He pulled back, looked into my eyes for a few seconds and shook his head in the affirmative. "With you by my side, I'm ready for damn near anything."
I smiled and bent my head down to kiss him again. "Let's get going then. You shower first and I'll whip up something for breakfast."
He got out of the bed and padded to the bathroom. I lay there for a second to relish the warmth of the space of the bed he had just occupied. "This lifetime is going to be amazing." I said to myself as I inhaled his scent one more time and then got out of the bed to make my way to the kitchen.
