Christmas isn’t so nice when you’re lonely.I reverted to form and slowly Tracy slipped from my mind as I threw myself back into my study.And then ...t happened. On the way to geography Tracy walked beside me and asked me if I’d heard Carey’s All I Want yet. I shook my head and turned to face her, but she was being tugged back into the fold of her friends by a protective gabbing hand. She smiled apologetically and we turned and continued on to geography apart again. But at least she’d tried! I was. . well, I would have been there. I can promise you that."I found myself looking away from him, thinking for a moment. I did believe him. I knew that my mom would have. I wondered what it would have been like, growing up with Eddie as a dad. I wondered just how different things would have been... how different I would have been, if I'd known him before now."I've never met anyone else who's gay before," I found myself saying, breaking another long silence."Never?" Eddie asked, sounding surprised.. She was married very young, i think when she was around 14 yrs. those days they were married young. my mom was born when my granny was 17!! my mother got married when she was 22 and i was born a year later. the incident happened during my 12th, i was 17 at that time my granny was 57 but she looked like she was 40 because of the regular work they did when they were young. my granny and granpa had a farm and some cows earlier but they sold all that and moved to the city when my mom was young.. ?Err, yes,? I stammered quietly. Despite normally being so confident when faced with new and unusual situations to do with work I found myself blushing and dropping my eyes to the floor. I just could not bring myself to look the man in the eyes. I was blushing very deeply.?Come closer,? he encouraged, ?Richard told me that this was your first visit to the club.??N-n-no, thanks.??It’s OK, she won’t bite,? he laughed gently, then reached forward to take my hand and gently pulled me forward,.
