I'm a young adult living outside of Charlotte. I've only lived in this state for a few years and had a recent encounter. I've been interested with this kind of stuff and have been visiting MMSA Stories for a few years, but never had the opportunity to post. This is a true story, exaggerated very slightly. I'm 5'10, 175 LBS (I look about 140), and nobody knows that I am bi-curious (except for 4 or 5 VERY close friends).
I'm a busy guy and a professional. I don't fool around a lot. I never had a childhood and never had any sibilings. I always wanted a brother, though, and never throught that I'd get the chance to "adopt" at an old age :-)
This happened just about a week ago. I was on the phone with a small town mayor fighting about the county sheriffs office. I am still convinced that they are corrupt. They don't know how to do anything besides write speeding tickets, and this mayor was actually defending them! I was pissed. I always have a tendancy to walk outside while on the phone, and this little kid (probably 14 or so) always used to ride his bike outside. He would ride by my house quite often, and all he'd ever get out of me was an occasinal hi gesture. He must have thought I was quite an ass. Anyways, this one day I was walking by the road and he pulled up besides me. I gave him a verbal hi and he just kind of stood there. I continued my conversation (as usual) and he just kind of hung around. I finished up, but he had left by that point. Since I'm new to this particluar town (I have lived in 3 other towns including Charlotte), I went for a walk around just to see what there was and who I'd meet. Not a block and a half later, I'm walking down the street when this same kid screams out to me and races over on his bike. Being nice, I just keep a simple conversation going. I offer to hire him to take care of lawn work and he accepts after going and looking at my property. He was a really cute kid, about 5'7, 130 LBS, light brown dark blond hair. He had a truly southern accent. Nobody could mistake that this was a country boy. We get to talking and he tells me about his family (DYSFUNCTION) and other stuff. He told me that when he first saw me outside weeks ago that he thought I was 25 (subtract a few off that number and get my real age).
This kid really started to grow on me. He had ADHD, which was apparent from the onset. He was a really heavy chain smoker, and as someone who has smoked a pack in my entire life, it really turned me off. We spent the day together and he insisted on me meeting his family. I did so, and saw how screwed up they were (the kid wasn't lying). His name was Jerry, and he was a really neat guy. I never thought that someone who had such an age difference would be so compatable.
We spent the day together and he asked if I wanted to sleep over. Having just a bit of common sense, I of course declined the invitation.
