Great chapter Grammy! Its obvious Brian is really starting to care for Justin. I can just imagine how intense the talk is gonna be, when they finally have it.
Author's Response: Brian has definitely felt a connection that he never expected this time around, but he is about to find out that there is more to their connection than he bargained for. Stay tuned for the beginnings of talks that will change their lives. Thank you for your wonderful comments Kat. Big hugs, Grammy

brian a teacher?? just a teacher?? soon they will realize that they have fallen in love with each other, but of course, they won´t admit it and will hurt each other.... but it´s up to you to make it as easy as possible for them ...:-)) rose
Author's Response: I will do my best to make them accept their inevitable fate Rose, but you know how stubborn those two can be. At least the door has been cracked open to let in more than just the surface of each other. Now they can work their way into more depth of character. Thanks so much for your wonderful comments.

My dear Grammy, It took me about 5 minutes to read this chapter but I´m feeling exhausted like I did run for hours. My heart is beating so fast I think it will explode so I need a couple of minutes to calm down. I will get right to the point: Everytime I read about child abuse I get really angry. Paragraph 1 in the parenting handbook: always love, support and protect your child! If you´re not capable or willing to stick to this rule, you´re not allowed to have any children! There should be some kind of exam, test or certificate for future parents. I know that´s not realistic and most parents are loving, supporting and protecting their children but I told you I´m angry and considering you need a driving licence... At least please give me Craigs adress so I can find him and give him some of his own medicine. In order to cope with life one is always looking for the good even in the worst scenario. Doing that I hope that the “bathroom incident” and the resulting flashbacks will serve as a catalyst. I hope that Justin and Brian will start to talk about their childhood, their parents, their fears of the past and their hopes and dreams of the future. I hope they will help each other to heal. The first time I read the “sex scene” I was a bit disappointed because I wished their first time being intimate would have been under different circumstances. But when I read it the second time I recognized that what started out as pain management ended in making love. I really hope, I´m wrong but I fear that “insecurity” and “embarrasment “ will be their breakfast buddies. Big hopeful hugs, Sunny
Author's Response: My dearest Sunny, Believe me when I say that I completely understand your feelings about child abuse. I told you that this story hits closest to home with me and there is a reason. I am a child of abuse, including physical, emotional, and sexual from my very early childhood until my mid teens. I had a step-mother who was the epitome of cruelty so bad that she drove my younger brother to a mental institution. My Dad, who finally got a clue is now married for the last 40 years to a truly good woman but by then the damage had already been done. My first step-father used me as his surrogate wife from the age of 11 to 15 when I finally got the courage to expose him for the evil man he was. I know a little something about abuse, as you can see, so believe me that when I write about it I don't take it lightly. In this story, both Brian and Justin are the victims of abuse and trust doesn't come easy to either man, but together they will work to heal each other. You absolutely hit the nail on the head with your remark on the sex scene. For Brian, it started out as his way of trying to ease Justin's pain but then something happened to both men and they did end up making love, but as you could see Brian made it all about Justin. Justin needed that. He needed to feel important to someone and Brian gave him that. I can't say what will happen next, but remember that hope is always my watchword in everything I write. Thank you for all your comments again, my dear. Big huge hugs, Grammy

My dear Grammy, How do you reconize a good story? A) you´re able to identify with the characters and B) you´re waiting for the next chapter like an addict is craving the next shot. Let´s start with point A: I felt nervous and exited like Justin did while he was axiously hoping that time would move faster. I almost started chewing my thumbnail and I caught myself checking my watch. I sniggered when Justin said “Fuck the clock” cause I was thinking the same. I could feel my cheeks getting warm everytime Justin blushed. I smiled with satisfaction when I read them say “I'll leave myself in your hands." "You are in capable hands." I grinned about: “Fuck the diet for one night " I laughed out loud while Brian was performing his “underwear show”. By the way, when I read this scene my cat was toying with a beetle by pushing it around on the hardwood floor and I found that quite appropriate. I was all smiles when I witnessed their first kiss. “Justin's mouth slowly opened like a budding flower touched by the sun's rays.” Now that this chapter is over I´m feeling like I described in point B. Big happy hugs, Sunny
Author's Response: As I've said before, I eagerly await your reviews Sunny, because of the detail you provide which helps me so much. Thanks to your remarks I can see where I'm heading in the right direction with a scene and it thrills me to no end. I have to blush myself at some of the scenes I write because, as you know, I never write anything without picturing it in my head first. I reeeeally enjoyed writing that reverse strip tease scene with Brian and Justin. Can't you just see Brian taunting Justin with images of things to come. Remember when he tore open the crotch on his pants in the loft that very first time he took Justin to his place? That was my inspiration. I'm so glad you are enjoying this story. It hits closest to home with me. Thank you so much for your comments. I deeply appreciate them. Big huge hugs, Grammy

Yes I'm a little bit behind! I've only just started to read this story but alas there are only so many hrs in the day :) Interesting plot. The young and innocent boy writing down right dirty porn <<wiggles eyebrows>> gets taught a thing or two from Brian. No doubt our Brian will learn a thing or two as well. I always love it when teacher Brian comes to town and gives Justin what he needs no matter what the plot/story they happen to be in. It's funny, I always picture Brian to be more of a writer than Justin.
Author's Response: I was thrilled to hear from you on this story Welcome_earthling. I agree with you about Brian being well cast as a writer. His job in advertising proves how good he is with words, but I wanted to go very AU with this story, which is actually based on a suggestion by one of my other readers. I wanted this Justin to be far more timid, despite what he did for a living, and in this case his painful childhood is something that would bind him to Brian who suffered in the same way but handled the pain differently. Also, I agree that there is nothing more erotic to me than Brian teaching Justin about life, especially when he ends up learning things himself from the student at the same time. I hope you will continue to enjoy the story as it unfolds, and thank you again for your comments. Big hugs, Grammy

Craig Taylor....what a jerk. I'm glad that Brian and Justin are taking the steps to be together. It's really nice to see Brian helping Justin. Great chapter. I can't wait to see what happens next.
Author's Response: I never did like Craig Taylor so I don't feel too bad making him even meaner in my stories. LOL! The one good thing in this story is that Brian and Justin have the bullying father in common and it will be a tie that makes them closer. More to come very soon. Thanks so much for your comments Jackie. Big hugs, Grammy

protection, sex , love. the new mantra of one brian kinney. justin is just so innocent in some ways yet in others he isn't. nice father he had growing up. no wonder the incident in the restroom shook him up so. i'm glad he felt at ease enough to take control of the kiss.
Author's Response: I know I'm being kind of mean to Craig Taylor, but then I never did like the man. I had to make him abusive to Justin because it was important that childhood abuse by their fathers be a shared event that shaped their lives but in slightly different ways. This way they could help each other to heal from those wounds. I appreciate all your comments as always Sherrie. Thank you so very much. Big hugs, Grammy

fantastic chapter. brian is such a tease. poor innocent justin, watching brian slowly get his underware on. and the kiss. so slow and leaving him wanting more. on to the next adventure.
Author's Response: Can you imagine how much fun I had picturing that scene with Brian getting dressed in my head as I wrote it? LOL! Yep, Justin has had a taste and I don't think he is going to be able to resist being offered a bigger piece of the pie when Brian takes that step. Brian may be a tease, but he is wily as a fox.

Dear Grammy, I´m baaaaack!And what did I find when I checked MW? Two new wonderful chapters to read and comment. Lucky me! Don´t we not all know that feeling: What shall I wear? You´re nervously rummaging in your drawers and in your closet searching for the perfect outfit. In a blink of an eye the whole contents of said furniture is laying around and you´re getting more nervous by the minute. At the end you choose something you know for sure wasn´t the right one and you will feel uncomfortable the whole evening wishing you had choosen something else?Justin should just have gone in his undies. It´s how he looks the best anyway.LOL It´s good to have a Brian Kinney coming to the rescue. We should all have one, shouldn´t we? He knows exactly what brings out Justin bests assets. I liked the scene in the dressing room. Justin blushing and Brian admiring the view. I could feel how Brian would have liked to jump Justin´s bones right there but he knows that would be wrong. He knows Justin is like a beautiful butterfly trapped in its pupa. He will come out, spread his wings and fly. But in his own time. Brian can only stand by his side and give guidance and support. You can´t just unwrap it with force and take possesion of it. If you do it, they will spread their wings and fly - AWAY. This is a story about LOVE but it´s also a story about something which is a fundamental prerequisite to gain Love:TRUST! And trust doesn´t come over night. It´s something you have hard to work for in order to deserve it. It´s precious, fragile and wearing a big sign "Handle with care".It´s something you can crave but never demand. And surprising as it may seem Brian knows and "he didn't mind one bit". Big Hugs,Sunny
Author's Response: I absolutely love the way you zero in on the most fundamental part of my stories Sunny. This atory is not just about a sexual attraction between two men, it is about two men who feel something new to them and half want to explore it and yet are half afraid of it....but together may have the courage it will take to begin exploring those feelings. Because Brian is older and has been through the turmoil of an abusive background like Justin, he knows the boundaries he must beware of. I'm so glad to have you back and posting comments. They always bring such a huge smile to my face. Thank you so very much my friend. Big hugs, Grammy

What in the hell made him keep doing that around Brian. Honey you're hot for the man...don't fight it! And obviously the man is hot for you. I love how they don't understand why they are feeling the way the do around each other. D-e-n-i-a-l! In all seriousness, I like that they are taking it slow and that Brian, as much as it pains him, hasn't jumped Justin's bones yet. not to mention a beautifully full and firm ass that Brian could see when he bent over with his back to Brian Gotta agree on that description. I've always said Justin's butt should be deemed the 9th wonder of the world! ;) Really enjoying this story of Teacher and Grasshopper. I mean Brian and Justin. LOL!
Author's Response: What wonderful comments Kat. Thank you so much. Yes, our poor Brian is confused about his feelings because they are completely foreign to him, but he is a quick learner. The problem is going to be in getting himself to accept them as genuine and worth preserving. And boy do I agree with you on Justin's cutie patootie rear. I love that scene when he dances on the coffee table for Brian in nothing but his undies cause his rear never looked more adorable swaying from side to side. How could any self-respecting gay man or straight woman not appreciate that view. LOL! Big hugs, Grammy

Brian was surprised by the way his breath caught in his throat when he first saw the kid walk in. Justin looked just plain beautiful. There was no other way to describe him. Mmmm hmmm! Wow, Justin's father did a job on him and who better to relate to that than Brian. Loving how Brian understands Justin and is willing to take him under his wings. Plans for the evening with Justin...Brian is smitten! ;)
Author's Response: The man is smitten, but don't tell him that! LOL! Brian has no idea what he is about to get into, but something is telling him to take a chance and the same holds true for Justin. Time will tell whether it is worth it. Big hugs, Grammy

That's a huge step for Justin, allowing Brian to read his novel. These two are indeed kindred spirits which is why they are so drawn to each other and why Brian feels the need to protect him. Brian understanding Justin's "daddy issues" is a good thing. He'll know how to help steer Justin in the right direction.
Author's Response: You've hit on one of the most important features that draws these two men together, their shared childhood experiences. It will play a big part in the future. Thank you so very much for all your comments. They are much appreciated. Hugs, Grammy

Author's Response: Thank you so much for the compliment Alys. Brian's instincts are so right on with the need to treat Justin differently, but he doesn't yet know the reasons behind it. Soon he'll understand. Now all they need is to go from their business talks to more in depth personal. That should reveal a lot. Stay tuned for further developments. Hugs, Grammy

I'm so happy that you included music by our sensational Kylie for their first dance. Very appropriate. I can't wait for the next update right now if not sooner.
Author's Response: Hee hee! Sorry Judy, but this time they have to move slowly. This Brian and Justin are not that trusting in this case, but you know our boys can't hold out forever. Btw, I actually was going to use a Cyndi Lauper song until I watched our sweet Nicolas' video using Kylie's song Slow and I said...'that's the one'. So you could say that the choice was all his fault. Can't you just picture them making love to that song too. Hmmm, I just might have to arrange that. I'm working on the next chapter right now, but you know me. I have to stay organized and keep the others moving too. Stay tuned. Big hugs and thanks for your wonderful comments. Grammy

i loved the nervousness of them both anticipatin the lunch date. brian hasn't realized yet that he dreamt of justin. maybe tonight he will. i don't think justin's story is going to be lacking the fire of romance after tonight. "Suddenly he found himself feeling an excitement at the prospect of spending the evening with Brian Kinney. Who knew...maybe he would learn some things that would really help in writing his story." ya think? i think he just might.

Reviewer: Sunny (Anonymous) · Date: August 26, 2008 09:46 PM · On: A Tentative Meeting of the Minds
Dear Grammy, When I read this chapter one sentence caught my attention straightaway: "It was like a waiting room." Isn´t that exactly where Justin is living? In a space between a painful past and an unknown future? Isn´t he a traveller like all of us? Sitting on his luggage to start his journey to experience what life has in store for him? Isn´t he just frozen in place knowing that it would only take a few steps to open the door and hop on the train of live? Sometimes we need a little help.Sometimes we need to take a risk. Sometimes we have to trust. Giving Brian his novel is a big risk for Justin. He poured his soul in the novel and he senses that Brian will be able to read between the lines. That Justin is not writing about a stranger´s life but his own.That he is revealing his emotions, hopes,longing and despair. And maybe Justin wants Brian to see him. Maybe Brian can be the one giving him a gentle push in the right direction: away from loneliness and sadness. Helping him to leave his "waiting room". Seeing that he is not destined to face his future alone. Hugs, Sunny
Author's Response: You are so absolutely wonderful Sunny. You completely got the point of that single line. It was exactly what I was trying to portray. Justin is in limbo and doesn't even know it yet. He claims that it is his frugality so that he can save for the future that keeps him from putting his personality into his living space, but the truth is that he doesn't feel at home in his own skin yet so how can he in an apartment. He is just waiting for someone to trust, the one thing he has never felt he's had with any man including his own father, and unconsciously it is Brian. Thus the risk of showing his novel. Brian, on the other hand, doesn't even understand why but he already feels a protective streak around the young man. That will increase as he reads the novel. Your perceptions are always appreciated and I look forward to your comments more than I can say. Thank you Sunny, thank you. Huge hugs, Grammy

I know just how Justin feels especially after reading some of your stories. I'm loving how this is unravelling. I'll be interested to see what Brian thinks but we know that he'll love what's been written. Maybe he'll sense J's sense of unfulfillment?
Author's Response: One of the reasons I was eager to take on this story when it was brought to me was because I could relate to a 'creative writer' Justin even more than an artist. I hope that will be reflected in the story. We both know how perceptive Brian is. I suspect he will understand Justin even better after reading the unfinished manuscript. But there are still tales to tell and events to learn. Thanks for all your encouragement Judy...and help. Big hugs, Grammy

This must have been written while I was away. Loving it. The possibilities are endless. I think Justin is about to have some romance/reality/sex in his life in the shape of Brian. Looking forward to reading the next chapter right now.
Author's Response: Yep, this was my replacement story for the ending of our journey to Egypt. I hope you will enjoy it. I received the idea from one of my readers and it sparked my imagination right away. I told you I'd keep busy while you were away. LOL. Did I mention how glad I am to have you back home? Big hugs, Grammy

wonderful chapter, Justin seems so sad and lonely deep down, but atleast hes found brian now :) update soon
Author's Response: Thank you Sara...you are so correct. There is a deep sadness and need inside Justin that no one has been able to see or touch. Perhaps our ad man is just what the young man needs to inspire even more creativity in him. Time will tell. Update very soon. Hugs, Grammy

this is really different and just plain great. they're taking the time to try and get to know each other before going any further. the way it should be. but, something is in the air. you can feel it. " For some reason he was really in the mood for some X-rated prose." could it be that the time spent with brian had something to do with that? i wonder.
Author's Response: Ah my dear Sherrie...perceptive as always. I suspect that Brian stimulated more parts of Justin than even he recognized. Only time will tell how much more stimulation he'll receive from our sexy ad man. And did you notice how Justin stimulated Brian's protective side. Hmmm. Food for thought. Thanks for all your wonderful comments. I love getting them from you every time. Big hugs, Grammy

I totaly love this! I can't help but wonder what Justin's dad does in this fic. In one line you made a comment about justin wanting to be more successful than his dad...is his dad a writer too? That would be a good story line. If his dad was a writer too, under a fake name of corse! Think about it.
Author's Response: Your idea is interesting Carys, but I had already mentioned that his dad owned a string of successful furniture and appliance stores. Part of their problem was that Justin wanted nothing to do with his dad's businesses. He wanted to make it on his own as a creative mind. He just wants to prove to his dad that he can be the best in the work he chose to do despite the fact that it is nothing like what his father wanted for him. Besides, Craig Taylor isn't creative enough to make it as a writer. LOL! Thanks so much for your comments, however. I really appreciate them. Hugs, Grammy

Hmmm, quite a delima Justin went thru to show Brian his apartment. Is there more to the spartan look than just frugality? What do our boys ea think of their dinner together, What does Brian think of Justin's novel? Can't wait to find out.
Author's Response: Very good questions Alys. I'm quite sure there are some good answers too, but you'll have to come back for them. I promise you'll know some answers very soon. Thanks so much for your comments. Hugs, Grammy

well there's a battle of wills coming at us. just met the kid and already brian's thoughts went from having sex with him to forgetting about it. so like him. doesn't he know that it makes the chase all the more fun when the prey is unwilling.
Author's Response: I'm afraid Brian is going to have a real challenge this time cause this Justin isn't quite as dewy eyed as our familiar Justin, but you know Brian when he sets his mind to something...or someone. Thanks so much for your wonderful comments Sherrie. Big hugs, Grammy

I loved this chapter, its so good, I really cant wait to see what happens next
Author's Response: Thank you so much Sara. I will have your next chapter as soon as I can. Brian and Justin are going to be starting that special dance they do coming up next. Hugs, Grammy
Reviewer: Thess (Anonymous) · Date: August 14, 2008 06:09 AM · On: A Young Man's Ambition
Me again, fogot to tell that i love your banner. Thanks to your granddaughter!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for this especially Thess. I've lost my beloved Eka somehow. No one has heard from her in a month. I miss her terribly, but my sweet 14 year old Amy came to my rescue. She is a novice but I think she has a wonderful eye, especially for one so young. I will make certain she knows what you said. Thank you again. Hugs, Grammy
Reviewer: alys (Anonymous) · Date: August 14, 2008 04:48 AM · On: A First Meeting
Yeah, they meet. I see Brian in protective mode, but mentor too. Hopefully Brian will find out Justin is writing a novel and make him show it to Dan (or do it himself). Great story.!
Author's Response: Hmmm, I think it is more like...Brian is going to be the inspiration for that great American gay love story. Can you picture that? I sure can. LOL! Thank you so much for your comments Alys. Stay tuned cause Brian will learn why he feels so instinctively protective towards Justin very soon. Big hugs, Grammy
Reviewer: Sunny (Anonymous) · Date: August 08, 2008 07:50 PM · On: A Young Man's Ambition
Dear Grammy, here we go again.... Where do you get all these wonderful ideas for your stories? I just know that I will like this one a lot. The way you descibed Justin and his need and his hope soon to find romance and love for real was brilliant. I can imagine him sitting at his desk and thinking how life could be if all his feelings, his emotions and his energy which were bottled up inside him could be released. He needs to find the right person who will help him to open up , to free himself. Like you said everything he writes is about "Cocks, balls, rimming, ramming, sucking, fucking", that is just sooo cold. He seeks for kisses, butterflies in his stomach and joyful happiness in other words: LOVE, something warm. That leeds us to the second part of the first chapter: the introduction of the man who will surely change his life. Who will introduce him to feelings and emotions he never knew existed. Good and bad, that´s for sure. Who will -if everything plays out right- give him the inspiration and the motivation to finally write his gay romance novel: Mr. Romance himself, Mr. Brian Kinney! I´m not sarcastic here, I really believe that Brian is one of the most romantic men ever.He just has his own way to show it but we all know that, don´t we? So I`m all set, got my seatbelt fastened and I´m ready to take off... Big hugs, Sunny
Author's Response: One of the things I love most about you Sunny is that you see Brian the way I've always seen him. He is not a traditional romantic because he is something deeper. This is a man who feels things too deeply to be superficial about anything...especially love. That is what the young Justin, who is also a born romantic, saw from the very beginning...something that no one else could see because they were only looking on the surface. They knew Brian was loyal and smart and that's why they liked him as a friend, but they didn't see the warm heart inside because they just weren't looking for it. I really hope you will enjoy this story. I have to be honest about my inspirations. I get them from all over. One of my short stories was inspired by an 'I Love Lucy' episode. My train story was inspired by a month long trip I took when I first retired. But several of my stories have been inspired by my readers, including this one and one of my favorites, the Egyptian story. They sent me the PB and off I go. I owe everything to my wonderful readers. I just hope all of them know how much I appreciate them. Big hugs, Grammy

Hi Gramms, glad to see you have a new story. Great banner!!! I know this will be another great story. Thanks
Author's Response: I appreciate your comments so much Thess. I will certainly let Amy, my Granddaughter know what you said about her banner. Not bad for a 14 year old, I'd say. She is almost as crazy for QAF as me. Her favorite is Hunter however. Kids! LOL! Oh, and yes I do monitor her viewing of QAF (at least as far as I am aware). I hope this story will continue to be of interest to you. Thank you so much for giving it a try. Hugs, Grammy

Excellant plot and chapter. I can't wait to see how this goes. Loved how Justin helped Dan, hilarious!! Then that Justin had the attitude to tell him about his writing is great.
Author's Response: Thank you so much Alys. The plot is to the credit of another of my wonderful readers and I'm so grateful. This idea inspires me. I hope you will enjoy the rest of the story. Thank you so much for commenting. Hugs, Grammy
