A Blizzard in Iowa A Naptown Tale by Altimexis The Blizzard Because the reception was being held in the ballroom, with dancing in the atrium, we needed to clear both areas of guests in order for the caterers to have time to set up for the evening festivities. The original plan had been for guests to return to their hotels and guesthouses between the ceremony and the reception to freshen up, but a quick look out the windows revealed that the weather had deteriorated rapidly during the

A Blizzard in Iowa A Naptown Tale by Altimexis The Wedding Day Friday, the day of our wedding, dawned bright and sunny. I’d been so worried about the weather, and was glad to see that my worries had been baseless. I thanked God that the bad weather had stayed out West. Everything was perfect. We started the day with a light brunch for the immediate family and close friends, including those who would be involved in the wedding ceremony. Before long, it was time for us all to get

A Blizzard in Iowa A Naptown Tale by Altimexis Wedding Preparations Although my parents’ corporate headquarters were located in Chicago and they spent most of their time in Cedar Rapids where they’d built a huge mansion that I thought was garish by even their standards, their weekends were spent at our ancestral home in Burlington, Iowa, the one place that held the fondest memories for me. Located, literally, in the middle of nowhere, nestled on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi Ri

A Blizzard in Iowa A Naptown Tale by Altimexis My Parents Meet my Fiancé “What time are your parents arriving?” he asked. “Brian, for the twelfth time, they’re arriving at three o’clock,” I answered. “Relax, love, we have plenty of time. It’s not like we have to worry about schlepping all the way out to O’Hare,” I reminded him. “Yes, but even Midway can be fraught with delays. We need to leave extra early. I don’t want to be late,” he said. “Remember what happened with my paren

A Blizzard in Iowa A Naptown Tale by Altimexis Meeting the In-Laws “Just relax, Will,” my boyfriend said to me as he planted a kiss on my lips, “my parents’ll love you.” “Sure they will,” I replied as I rolled my eyes. “You’ve spent every night for the past week at my place. Hell, you’ve only been home to pick up clean clothes. What are they supposed to think? Before last Friday, you didn’t even know me, and now you’re practically living with me.” “I am living with you, and I w

A Blizzard in Iowa A Naptown Tale by Altimexis As my eyes fluttered open, I couldn’t help it that a huge grin split my face when I spied the sleeping form of my boyfriend. Even after a month, he still looked like a perfect angel to me. In the tumultuous days that followed my return from Washington, I never thought I’d find happiness. My life had been wrecked - totally wrecked. I’d gone to Washington a young gay man in hiding, my beautiful girlfriend at my side. I’d known from the mom

When Will thinks Brian wants to get married this Thanksgiving rather than next, his mother isn’t about pass up the challenge of planning a wedding in only 3 weeks, but will the weather cooperate?

Halloween Redemption A Naptown Tale by Altimexis “Watch it, faggot!” someone shouted at me, moments before I felt a body slam into me from the side, sending me sprawling to the floor. My bookbag went flying over my head and papers from a side pocket went flying all over the hallway. “Outta my way, Taylor,” someone else shouted at me as they practically tripped over me, as if there were anything I could actually do about my current predicament. “Zach, are you all right

July Fireworks A Naptown Tale by Altimexis and David of Hope Epilogue - July 4th Other than the steady sound of the rain on my umbrella and on the pavement, things were eerily quiet for downtown on a Friday morning. The streets hadn’t been closed off yet, but there was hardly a soul out and about when normally the streets would have been packed at nine AM. Bleachers were set up along Pennsylvania Avenue. The planned festivities included a small parade at noon - nothing like the one we ha

July Fireworks A Naptown Tale by Altimexis and David of Hope The Article The Fourth of July was just another workday for me. I worked most of the holidays . . . it was one of the ‘perks’ of being an associate team leader, but today was special and like all of the Star’s employees, I’d enjoy the day’s festivities with my family as much as possible - that is unless there was a breaking news story. Thanks to our location, right across from University Park, I’d be able to spend much of the d

July Fireworks A Naptown Tale by Altimexis and David of Hope Altaf and Randy The interview with Altaf and Randy was held in the most unusual of places - the lobby of St. Vincent’s Hospital. Why the boys chose this particular place to hold their interview, I didn’t know, but it certainly wasn’t the most convenient place, as I had to circle for some time before I found a parking place. There was no shade, so I knew my car would be hotter than blazes when I came out when we were done. Ex

July Fireworks A Naptown Tale by Altimexis and David of Hope The Wilsons and Friends The next set of interviews was going to involve another set of three couples. Carrie Dunnington and her boyfriend Lyle Hernden; Jamie Wilson and his boyfriend, Will Smith; and, Barry Smith and his girlfriend, Evelyn Waterman. Mr. Wilson answered the door and greeted me warmly. “Harold, right on time!” “Mr. Wilson,” I said as he held the door open for me. “It’s good to see you’re still smiling after

July Fireworks A Naptown Tale by Altimexis and David of Hope David and Jeremy I started with a call to Paul Levine, the former president of the GSA. Paul explained that there wasn’t a real membership list or a pledge to a club, but rather just a gathering of people that enjoyed a common bond. When I rattled off the people that I was primarily concerned about and the reason for the interviews, he said he could add a few more to the list that may contribute to the article. I explained that

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope Epilogue - Legal Scholar - Will by Altimexis “Do you mind if I sit here?” a young man’s voice said as I was looking down at my macroeconomics textbook while sipping on a skinny vente caramel macchiato. A brie and pesto on ciabatta sandwich sat half-eaten, next to the book. It had been more than a month since I’d returned to Chicago, and the fall semester of my sophomore year of pre-Law was in full swing. The horror

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope No Place Like Home - Jeremy by Altimexis After two years of playing high school soccer, not to mention playing middle school soccer before that and in the youth soccer leagues even before that, David and I had played just about every position imaginable. One thing the coaches knew not to do was to play us against each other, as we often became distracted, particularly if we were playing shirts versus skins. Wha

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope Magic Kingdom - Paul by David of Hope “Paul,” Sammy snapped his fingers, “What’d’ya thinkin’ ‘bout?” I rubbed my legs smiling, “Nice smooth legs, and a moist wet pussy.” Then he brought me back, “Paul! What was the last thing I said about this math problem?” No doubt about it, Sammy cared for me. He always helped me with my homework. He made me understand what was being taught at school. It was like he

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope Not This Again - Will by Altimexis What a summer this has been! I’ve spent it as an intern at the White House, met four, cool gay teens who actually survived a major political scandal, and I managed to come out to my own parents. Still, I don’t think I’m ready to come out of the closet in general and there’s still the matter of my girlfriend . . . her drug habit, her political connections and what was going to happ

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope A Naptown Surprise - Brad by Altimexis “I can’t believe the way they’re crucifying your poor brother!” Kayla said as we both sat with Cliff and Linda in the Kimball’s great room, watching the Nightly News at 6:30. She was right . . . it was awful. For days now they’d been grilling poor David, Jeremy, Trevor and Kurt in front of the select joint ethics committee on ‘The Hill’ for allegedly running a gay prostitu

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope Airborne Manure - David by Altimexis “HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!” Jeremy shouted as he hung up his cell phone. “Our attorney will be here in less than twenty minutes. You may have thought you could sneak a barely legal search in while we were away, but you thought wrong. From this moment forward, ’by the book’ means with US present, and with OUR ATTORNEY present. Until he arrives, this search is on hold. Nothing is t

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope Weddings and Wonder - Trevor by Altimexis It was nice to settle back into a regular routine at work after the whirlwind of the Medal Ceremony and the interviews. Things seemed to settle down, and although there were still rumblings, within our own little world, they didn’t really affect us too much. Although Seth and a few of the other pages still made occasional snide remarks, they pretty much gave us a wide b

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope On Top of the World - Kurt by Altimexis “It’s so beautiful,” I said as I leaned my head against Trevor’s shoulder. My arm was wrapped around his waist as we looked out across Central Park from a hundred stories up. The view was magnificent. All of north Manhattan spread before us . . . New Jersey was to the left, across the Hudson . . . Queens and Brooklyn were to the right, across the East River, and The Bronx

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope Gathering Storm - Jeremy by Altimexis The medal ceremony for Kurt was un-fucking-believable, but the banquet afterwards blew everything else away. I kind of wanted to sit with David, but they sat me with my parents, which I guess was to be expected. They sat us at a table with Michael Phelps and even though his image had been tarnished recently by allegations of smoking pot, he was still ultra-cool. We talked a

Summer Internship A Naptown Tales Novel by Altimexis & David of Hope Put the Petal to the Medal - Kurt by Altimexis Trevor and I got into a routine of getting up ‘before the chickens were up’, much to David and Jeremy’s chagrin, quickly and quietly getting ready in the bathroom, getting dressed, and tiptoeing out of the room. We were both at work and sipping on our first cups of coffee at our posts in the Hart Senate Office Building before our roommates’ alarms had even gone off
