Coming out

You were walking in the middle of nowhere. You got lost while you were hiking, but eventually you found a road. You followed it, hoping it would bring you to some kind of civilization.. but you feet like you’ve been walking for years.

While you’re lost in thought, you hear a loud truck coming up behind you. You stop in your tracks when it stops next to you. A man rolls down the window. “Hey there, princess!” He yelled, to make sure his voice was audible over the roaring engine of the truck. “ Where ya headed?” He asked, clearly not trying to be creepy but just concerned.

"Dan leans in slightly, his voice low and inviting." "Well, darlin', the nearest city is a good few miles away. How about you hop in? I can take you there in no time. Safer than wandering around all alone out here." "He flashes a charming smile, his dark eyes holding a hint of mystery and allure."

"Dan watches you walk away with a small smirk on his face. He revs the truck engine and pulls ahead slowly, matching your walking pace." "Come on now, don't be shy. It's a long walk to the city and I could use some company. What do you say? I'll even let you pick the radio station." "He chuckles softly, trying to charm you into accepting his offer."

"Dan nods, a serious look on his face. He takes a quick glance at the pepper spray and then looks back at you with a reassuring smile." "No need to worry, darlin'. I'm just a truck driver trying to help out a stranded hiker. No funny business, I promise." "He starts the engine and puts the truck into gear, heading towards the city."

"As you drive, Dan sneaks a few glances your way, admiring your beauty. He tries to play it cool, engaging in light conversation about the scenery, but his mind is occupied with the thoughts of you. He subtly flexes his muscles and shifts in his seat, hoping to catch your attention."

"Well, I'm headed to a truck stop just outside the city. Gotta get some rest and refuel before heading out again." Dan replies, stealing a quick glance at you while keeping his eyes on the road. He clears his throat and continues, "And what about you, darlin'? You never did tell me your name or where you're from."

"Dan raises an eyebrow, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips." "Jason, huh? Well, I'm Dan. Pleasure to meet ya." "He turns towards you, his eyes lingering for a moment longer than necessary before refocusing on the road. He's starting to enjoy your company more than he expected."

"Dan subtly flexes his muscles as he grips the steering wheel, hoping to catch your eye with his toned physique. He's always enjoyed the attention, and there's something about you that draws him in, making him want to impress you."

"No need to apologize, Jason. I understand how it can be out here. It's not the safest place to be wandering alone." "Dan replies with a reassuring smile as he turns his gaze back to you briefly." "If you don't mind me asking, where were you headed all alone out here?" "He's curious about your story, hoping to learn more about you and keep the conversation going."

"Dan nods, sensing the weight of your words. He reaches out a hand and gently places it on your arm, offering a comforting gesture." "Sometimes we all need to get away from it all, find some peace and quiet." "He speaks softly, his voice soothing as he watches you lost in thought."

"As the city lights start to appear in the distance, Dan can't help but feel a growing sense of connection with you. There's something about your vulnerability that intrigues him, stirring up emotions he hasn't felt in a long time."

"Dan's expression softens as he listens to your question. He takes a deep breath before answering." "I've been married, but it didn't work out. I have two kids, but their mom has full custody now." "He glances at you and then back to the road, his gaze clouded with a mix of sadness and longing." "As for where I'm headed, just another stop on the road. Never know what's waiting for me out there."

"He subtly flexes his arm muscles, hoping to distract you from the heavy topic and maybe make you smile. Dan's emotions are swirling inside him, and he finds himself opening up more than he usually would to a stranger."

"Dan's smile widens at your compliment and he straightens up a bit, feeling a surge of confidence." "Yeah, it can be. But it also gets lonely out here sometimes." "He glances at you and catches your gaze lingering on his body. Heat rises to his cheeks, and he quickly looks away before turning back to you with a playful smirk."

"Mind if I ask you something, Jason? You seem like you're hiding something behind that tough exterior." "Dan's voice is teasing, but there's a hint of sincerity beneath his words. He wants to get to know you better and find out what makes you tick."

"Well, let's just say I've got a knack for reading people." "Dan chuckles, his eyes twinkling with mischief." "But hey, everyone's got their secrets. No judgment here, Jason." "He shoots you a sly grin, enjoying the banter between the two of you."

"As the city lights draw nearer, Dan can't shake the feeling of excitement building in his chest. There's a magnetic pull between him and you, and he's eager to see where this unexpected encounter might lead."

"Dan's expression shifts from playful to serious as he listens to your confession. He reaches out and places a hand on your shoulder, offering you comfort and support." "Hey, Jason. Look at me." "He waits until you turn your gaze towards him before speaking again in a gentle tone."

"I want you to know that there's nothing wrong with being gay. Nothing. You're perfect just the way you are." "Dan looks directly into your eyes, trying to convey his sincerity and support." "I'm sorry your parents reacted that way. That's not right."

"Dan leans back slightly, giving you space while still keeping his hand on your shoulder. He feels a deep sense of compassion and empathy for you, wanting to do whatever he can to ease your pain."
