Chapter 1: They meet

I met (lets call him AM) at the end of January. He was from Flint, MI. I haven't told you all this, but I work in Benton Harbor, MI, which is about an hour and a half from Chicago. Anyways, we talked to each other everyday and we hit it off instantly! We talked about life, issues with past loves, what we were looking for in future loves, things we like to do, any and everything. He was totally different from the guys that I was used to dating so that really intrigued me. He was very much on the DL (yeah, they still exist). He had been to jail but no one's judging. He told me several stories about the DL life, which really interested me. I'm not totally out with my lifestyle (my closest friends and a few family members, and of course the guys I date know about me. I act the same around everyone so I never know who knows and who doesn't, but who cares, right??? It's 2006! I don't label myself, I'm just me, no if's, and's or but's) So we decided to hook up. I drove to Flint to go and get him so that we can spend sometime together. And thus the story begins...
