It was a nice, bright summer day, the wind blowing, gently across the fields. It was the last few weeks before summer s end. We worked together
on my uncle s farm for the past five months. The sun was setting in the west. His hair was golden in the light of the setting sun. I was tired from putting in hay and I knew Ian was too. Ian was taller
and thinner than I. I stared deep into his eyes as I light up a smoke. He had a piece of grass in his mouth.
What are you doing tonight? he asked in his deep voice. Every time he spoke to
me he sent shivers down my spine. I loved him and all I wanted was to be with him, closer than friends.
Nothing, really I was going to camp out bye dogg-moose creek. You can come too if you
want. I was hoping he would we ve gone swimming most of the summer after work and even gone skinny dipping a few times.
Sure why not? We only have a few weeks left to swim. I have to ask
you something and it has been bothering me since I ve met you and its hard for me to ask you it. My heart stopped at this was he going to ask if I was gay? No he couldn t, he can t.
Yea,
what is it? his deep hazel eyes staring into mine.
Well. Ummm. Do you like me? I mean we ve hung out alot togather and all. My heart started again I knew where this was going even
though I never was in a relationship with anyone before. I ve been close to one but it never worked out.
I like you your like my best friend and well I care alot about you.
Well I m glad to hear that but tears started to come in to his beautiful eyes. And I like you a lot a whole lot and well I.
I love you too more than you know. I
blurted out to my surprise.
How did you know what I was trying to say? I mean how did you know I am gay? My heart jumped out of my chest, tears were rolling down both are faces.
I
leaned up as he leaned down our lips met. I felt the warmth of his mouth the feeling of his arms tight around me. I felt all my worries melt away. I didn t want this moment to end. As our lips finally
parted our eyes turned to the melting sun on the horizon. We started walking to the creek to go swimming in the fading light.
Where are we going I thought...
We are I m just taking
you to my spot. The water there is so nice and the sun shines through the trees in the day and the moon at night. No one has ever been there but me and I thought it would be the perfect place to
spend the night with him. The grass is soft there, as the water cuts through the rock.
As we walked around the bend hand in hand I glanced over at Ian as his mouth dropped. We were at my spot and
nothing mattered in the world at this place. This place was our place now. We came here after school before work and even at night in the cool fall air.
