Entry for Monday, March 13, Continued… We woke up this morning still spooned together when the alarm went off, an explosion of harsh sound, far too soon. Zander silenced the alarm, and we cuddled, still very, very, naked for a few moments. “If we don’t get going now, we’re gonna piss Coach off,” murmured Zander into my ear. He rolled out of bed, with a resignation born from years of early swim practices. “Come back!” I whined, missing the contact, the warmth, the loveliness. But there w

Yes, truly a love scene. Andy knows he loves Zander, and finally has the confidence to express it physically. He has much to be confident about, truly. As you say, Andy is replacing his terrible past with something quite wonderful. Zander, and his family. The coming Monday at school is still a source of apprehension, though. The Monday school experience will be reported on Tuesday...thank you for your insightful comments and for your continuing to read A to Z.

There are mysteries accumulating - like what is really up with Luke and his mother? And what is happening with Jackson's friends? If Jackson were really all that popular, somebody would have been at his window by now. And what is Luke's angle with Jackson? Just a friendly kid, or is he hoping to take on some of Jackson's bad-boy image to make himself a more popular guy? Can't wait for the next chapter! This one was great.

Week Nine Friday, October 31, 2014 (Halloween): Sexy Devil
Parker Owens commented on skinnydragon's story chapter in Week Nine Friday, October 31, 2014 (Halloween): Sexy Devil
Well David got his dance, and he was pretty much angelic for being a Pirate and taking a devil girl out. Really, his mother sold out to stupidity far too early in life. Instead of trying to form her kid in some other image, she should be talking things out with him to help him figure himself out. I'm thinking what David really needs is a big slice of Twoey time, and a dose of his uncanny eyes. Just saying. And maybe that could happen really, really soon? Like in a couple of minutes? Can't a guy wish? -
Andy would not have put on a Speedo for anyone but Zander. Love and trust have overcome fear, at least for this moment. Here was a moment Andy could (and did) emerge more into who he wants to be. Zander helps him do that. The steam was very hard to write - many drafts - but still in Andy's character. Hope your shower was cold enough. Thanks very much for your kind review and for reading along in Andy's journal.

Andy and Zander have grown together. As each of the Stevenson parents observed, these boys have fallen hard for each other. It has been fun to see it. Thanks for leaving a comment, and for continuing to read A to Z.

The two chapters together work well, but they seemed too long to post all at once. Andy had been waiting - not so patiently - for Zander to come home. He wasn't going to wait a second to get him back. Good thing the coach already knew; that and Zander's presence was all he needed. The boys love each other, and Andy wanted to show it, physically, finally. Again, the two of them give each other what they need. But you're right - mom is somewhere near! Thank you so much for an encouraging review, and for continuing to read Andy's story.

Someday We'll Be Together
Parker Owens commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Someday We'll Be Together
Deftly described and narrated. Smooth dialogue. I really like the ongoing relationship with CJ and Owen; they seem to click and you've drawn them well as a pair. Liked the part with the rugged player. Many thanks for this chapter. -
Thanks for sharing this poem. It's a wonderful way to remember days that passed too soon.
-
The most important thing here is that Andy chose to show his love in this way - it was essentially his decision. This is a big step forward. Monday morning at school actually gets written about on Tuesday...Thanks so much for your kind review, and for reading more of Andy's journal.
-
I appreciate your positive reaction. I really worked a long time over Andy and Zander finally making love. That Andy made the decision to initiate it was hugely important, I think. Thanks for staying with Andy's story and reading with him.

No, not a sex chapter, though sex happens in it. Andy finally decided to make love to Zander, and the most important thing about it was that it was his own choice. Zander spent some time with his parents after Andy went up, so they may have had some brief discussion about his phone calls out of Andy's hearing. And we will have to wait to see what happens in school (Monday morning will be reported on Tuesday...)Thanks for your kind review, and for continuing to read A to Z.

"The present pushed his terrible past back..." This phrase hits it exactly. Andy and Zander have been together for a month or so; they've been friends for longer - but they've really begun to tune into each other. Andy's making love illustrates that, as well as how very much his life has changed. Thanks so much for your kind review, and for continuing to stay with Andy's journal.
-
Thank you for your kindness. Those words - "can't wait for the next one" - are what I live for as an author. And Nonna meeting Andy...now there's a thought.
-
Thank your for your really kind review, Tim. The sex scenes were very hard for me to write. How would Andy have said it? I drafted and re-drafted and then did them all over again until I sent them to the editor. For Andy and Zander, for Andy's first time for love, it had to be right. And you're right again that for Andy, love can move him more than fear. Thanks for reading Andy's journal. Strangely, his account of Monday morning comes out on Tuesday...
-
Thank you for reading this chapter of Andy's story. It went through a lot of rewriting, as I found it hard to portray the sex scene without going over the top or taking Andy out of his character. If that was successful, then it worked out all right. Thank you for your kind review.
-
This was another big change for Andy, but he was ready for it, finally - because he chose it. And he chose it because it was with Zander - changing bad memories for good ones. Oddly, school Monday will actually be posted Tuesday...Thanks so much for reading this chapter, and for your kind review.
-
Andy exploring the boundaries of what he feels - and the love he wants to express - was so very good to write about. And he was ready for this, finally. Thanks for continuing to read Andy's story, and for your review.

I am deeply moved by this poem. I touches my own difficult memories of sitting at bedsides, listening to labored breathing, and waiting. And your words sound in echoes in my head: will I know? Did those I loved (and love still) know? One think I do know - they, too, sought the beauty, sought to grasp it and sense it and taste it while they could. And you put that into words so very, very beautifully. Thank you, Tim.

Monday March 13 – continued There was a noise and suddenly I jerked awake. I had been dozing over my book. I listened. Voices, downstairs. Zander was home! I scrambled off the bed and tumbled down the stairs, my feet thundering on the carpeted steps. I hesitated in the kitchen doorway just long enough to locate Zander, standing next to the kitchen table. He was turned toward me, a smile forming on his lips. I flew across the room, practically launching myself at him. And then I had him, my ar

I'm glad you thought them good. I got attacked by a fit of melancholy the night I wrote them. Definitely in a minor key.

I just couldn't help playing with technical terms; they're often far too serious for themselves. As parts of their couplets, they seemed like far more playful creatures, as if Wagner had gone to see Gilbert and Sullivan.
-
A really solid chapter, and you leave us with the title question still hanging. Too bad for us. Hope Ben is as clear on Clayton's message as he thinks he is. Do we really have to wait another week for another chapter?
-
Thanks for reading this chapter. I appreciate what you have said about character development; Andy and Zander and Garrett and Monica get a little deeper here. Not sure if Andy is seeking solace - meaning is probably more like it - and maybe beginning to look for some answers. It isn't clear that he found them, but at least Fr. Brewer took Andy seriously. Too many things happen of FB these days; Greg certainly behaved petulantly. I'm glad you thought Andy was cute; waiting must have been very difficult. Thanks very much for your review.

As always, thank you, Tim for your review. I appreciate your honesty. You say it far better than I can - gay people are everywhere so stop being surprised about it. Andy is finding his own way, asking his own questions. I fear I annoyed you in the process, which I regret. Thanks for reading Andy's story.
