Along Came Two and Along Came You Author:B. K. Wright Along Came Two: Intro: David?s life is very fulfilling. He has a great career, good friends, and now he has a son. When David takes Trey on a much deserved vacation, he meets someone who he thinks may be the one for him. Both fathers, the two men have no idea if or how they can possibly be together or if they can some day become "one big... more » happy family." Excerpt: So many emotions were coursing through David right now that he couldn?t speak, but words were not important now. Being with Trey on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure was what was important now. From their home just outside of Denver, it had been a relatively short drive to the airport, but they were in for a long flight to Atlanta where they would board their connecting flight to Miami, and from there they would begin their cruise. ?Look, Daddy,? Trey would say at every new site he viewed from his coveted window seat. David would smile and look, but he was mostly looking at Trey. Trey was his life. Trey was his son, and having a son or daughter was the one part of his life he had almost convinced himself would remain unfilled. David had been told by many that adoption was not an option for a gay man, that no agency would ever approve him. He was just glad that he hadn?t listened to all the negative comments, but had persevered in spite of them. Trey had needed a home and someone to love and care for him. David felt that he was the one who had truly been blessed, however. It had been Trey who had transformed David?s house into a home filled with love. After this past year with Trey, David could barely remember his life without him. ****** Very intuitive, Kurt wondered if David was trying to tell him something. ?Is it difficult to adopt, as a single man, I mean? It was a little different with Cheyenne, you know.? David stood up and looked out across the verandah at the ocean. It stretched as far as he could see, an open entity, hiding no secrets. Was this a living photograph of the way he should be, and wanted to be, open, with no secrets? Lost in his own thoughts, David hadn?t heard Kurt?s voice. Kurt hoped he hadn?t offended David. Kurt stood up and walked toward David. David?s arms were folded. Kurt surprised him when he stood in front of him and placed his arms on David?s arms. He looked David directly in the eyes, and asked, ?Or is it difficult to adopt as a gay man?? ****** Along Came You: Intro: Matthew had fallen for Greg Stevens and Matthew had fallen hard. Before Greg, Matthew had thought that finding true happiness was not meant to be, for him. When a mutual friend fixes him up with Greg, Matthew continues to doubt his chances for true love. Greg is much younger than he and just beginning his career. When Matthew shows Greg the carvings above the fireplaces that his grandfather had built years ago, Greg sees in them the same ?sign? that Matthew had seen ten years earlier. When a baby girl is abandoned at the hospital where Greg works, he and Matthew wonder if the fireplace carvings could have been designed from a premonition of Matthew?s grandfather and that perhaps this wise man, years ago, had known what lay ahead for his grandson. Excerpt: Matthew set his glass down and then took Greg?s from him and set it down too. He held Greg?s hands and then moved his hands up along Greg?s arms. He held Greg?s arms and leaned toward him. Greg?s heart was beating hard and fast when he felt Matthew?s lips on his own. Matthew?s kisses were gentle and sweet, yet very passionate. Matthew put his arms around Greg, and Greg held Matthew in his. Matthew kissed Greg for several minutes, and then kissed him on the cheek. ?I?d better go now,? he said. ****** Matthew led Greg to his bed, and the two of them unbuttoned the other?s shirts and took them off. Matthew pulled the covers back and invited Greg into his bed. The room was dark, but they undressed separately before getting into bed and moving toward each other.« less
