Temptation In The Works.
Its been a week and half since we moved here. Its been tension say the least. Jack and I rarely speak and if we do speak its very very forced. I dont know what to say, honestly. We had sex and I mean we made love. It was the most euphoric sex I have ever had and now he is basically my stepson and to make matters worse I really care about his mom. Zeda called my phone and I clicked the green button.
"Just finish my run...how is your first day back?" I asked her as I unlocked the garage door. It was 11:35 AM. Zeda had return to work today.
"Great. Wishing I was home with my favorite guys. Ill be home around 7. Take out the steaks so I can cook them when I get there." She told me as we blew eachother kisses and hung up. Im doing the rest of my stuff this week for work at home. I went into the freezer and pulled out the New York Strip Steaks. I placed them in the sink. I heard walked out of the kitchen and into the foyer and seen the patio door ajar. I walked over and just as I was about to close it...I seen Jack coming from under the water all model like. He climbed out and those small neon green shorts clenched on to his thighs. He shook his head and wiped his face. He walked over to one of the pool chairs and sat down to tan. I need to make an effort. Maybe we are just both still in shock as anybody would be in this situation. I walked out and seen him placing the headphones in his ear. I waved at him and he stopped.
"HeyâI thought you had work today?" He asked me as I took a seat on the pool chair next to his.
"Uhh...I so just a few calls. I dont need to go in all the time. Thats what being a boss entails."
"Beyonce said it better..." he then proceeded to sung Beyonce I guess.
"Its on baby lets get lost...you dont need to call into work cuz' you the boss." He stated and I looked at him confused. He laughed, "I forgot you are an old man."
I laughed, "Please. I know Beyonce. Just dont know the song and you know this is a bad way of tanning...." He stared down at himself and exhaled, "I know, but I cant be nakedâthe neighbors might see." Fuck, I just made it awkward. I exhaled and said, "Umm, I got a call to make, but after that we can go to that new aquarium downtown."
"Are you crazy? It cost 30 for parking and 90 per person to get in. My mom and I wanted to go awhile back, but thats crazy expensive even for a Doctor's salary." He told me and I laughed, "Well, I have money to spare and dont take this as I am trying to buy your affection. Its just your mom told me you like animals and I feel as if this is going to keep being awkward as long as we let it." He looked at me and licked his pink lips. He rolled his eyes all cute like and exhaled, "Fine....let me atleast bake for 15-30 minutes." I stood up and we smiled at one another. I walked over to the switches and press the gate on, one.
"This blocks off intrudersâor shall I say peeping toms. I have to tan too." I told him as he stood up and grabbed the brim of his shorts and I found myself stuckânow staring at him. He cleared his throat and stated, "I know you already seen all of me, but you have a call to go make, while I bake."
"Thanks. This is best choice for you. At 20K a month, I can make sure you make 30 times that. Happy to make this deal happen. Ill have my assistant fax over all the imperative files that needs to be signed." I told the guy over the phone before we ended the call. I shot Ashley a txt message and then headed to my room to shower. I walked in and headed to the bathroom.
I was going to dress casual. I grabbed some ripped jeans and a AC/DC shirt I brought online. It showes off my huge arms. I grabbed my all white forces and slid them on. I walked out and went downstairs to see Jack dressed in some ripped jeans and a denim jacket that slid off on of his shoulders and was only button in the middle. He is all about his fashion. It always comes together nice from what I have seen.
"You ready?" He asked.
"Yeah and you brown-quick as fuck." I told him admiring his tan. He smirked and we walked out of the house and over to my car. I crunk it up and I turned on the radio and he exhaled. I stared over at him and asked, "What?"
"Radios are for Truck Drivers and old couples leaving church on a sunday. Its something called Aux Cords and Bluetooth." He connected his phone and said, "Now what do you wanna hear?" I licked my lips and tried to think.
He exhaled, "Oh My God...not to bring this up, but the song that was on in the elevator on the way up to my room...in Paris." I couldnt remember. He kissed his teeth and then the song played and I remembered. We both knew the song, but that wasnt the crazy part it was that we both started singing it on the same part in that elevator. The Man That Cant Be Moved x The Script.
The beat dropped and I dove into song as I turned onto the highway.
"Going back to the corner where I first saw you..." I sung as he joined me.
"Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move..Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying, "If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?"
He took the reigns and held his phone to his lips as he sung. I laughed.
"Some try to hand me money, they don't understand..I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man...I know it makes no sense but what else can I do
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?"
I leaned over covered his mouth and laughed as I sung the next lines.
"Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me...And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be..Thinkin' maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet."
He touched my hand and slowly moved it from his mouth as we stared at one another as changed lanes.
We sung the next line in unison.
"And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street..So I'm not moving, I'm not moving."
We jammed out to this song all the way to the place...on repeat. It finally wasnt feeling weird all this damn time since we moved in all under one roof.
Later that day he handed me his phone and ran over to the seal statue and said, "Take me a freaking picture. These are my favorite water animal."
"Really a seal?" I joked as I swiped the camera on the screen.
"Oh shut up...everyone goes for dolphin, shark, or even Nemo. But Seals are different, yet so unique. I love it. I guess they kinda like me." He told me as he threw his legs around and wrapped his arms around the Seal. I snapped a few and told him I got it. He came over and grabbed my phone and exhaled, "Ohh these are nice. You may have missed your calling."
"Or you just made it easy..." I told him hinting at his beauty. He smiled at me as we kept walking thru making our way to this tube where we was surrounded by sharks. He got lost in the crowd as he went to take pictures and stuff. I looked over and seen a machine that make a clay figure of an animal where you can engrave it. I went over and seen it had 4 different animals to pick from.
Seal, Sharks, Dolphins, or Whale.
I pressed Seal. I typed the message to be engraved.
"To JB...from Ric." I pressed send as I put the 8 dollars in it. It took 5 minutes before it came out wrapped in a box and all. I grabbed it and looked back and the crowd was gone. I walked down into the Food Court and seen him over at the machine trying to catch a stuff animal. I walked over and heard him snap, "Fuck! Its cheating." I placed the box in front of him and he gasped, "Whats this?" He opened it and saw it. He smiled, "Oh My! Its soo nice. Thank you." He hugged me and I felt my body tense up yet it felt good. I hugged him back and dick started stirring in my pants. I quickly backed off and he confessed, "I was trying to win this hammerhead shark for my mom, but I cant get it." He slid another dollar in and grabbed hold of the control. I walked up behind him and with him being so short it made it easy. I wrapped my arm around him and placed my hand above. He backed up a little right against my body. It maybe was innocent but fuck. I talk slowly, "Its all in the wrist.." I moved it over and got it in the perfect position as he stared up at me. I looked into his eyes and asked, "What?" He shook his head and turned around again to the glass. He pressed the button and the claw dropped down and grabbed it and dumped it for us. He went to clapping.
"YES! I did it, thank alot Ric." He told me as he bend over in front of me the green and yellow brim of his Marco Marco briefs showed as he went to get it. He came up and turned to me.
"Whats next? I cant lie today has been fun." He told me as we walked off. We went outback and found a table to sit at. The lady came and took our order.
"Yeah it has. Happy you had fun."
"Yeah...wish I came in shorts to swim with the dolphins...My Dad would have loved this place. He always said he thought of the ocean and aquatics as another planet. Like it was a whole different world in the waters. He use to say we are living amongst them this is their land....because they was here before us and they will be here after we are gone." He explained.
"Your mom rarely talks to me about him? I dont know if its because she is hurt or its awkward."
"Jack Brimstone the first was a man above all man. No one will ever compare to him and thats just the facts. He was more than a husband and a Dad. He told me at my fifth birthday that I would be different and unique like a Seal and back then I didnt know what he meant,but I think he already knew I would be Gay. And as for my mom I think she doesnt like to discuss him because she feels it hers fault he died." He explained.
"What you mean?" I asked as the lady came over with the drinks. He sipped the Strawberry smoothie he got and responded,"When the house had caught fireâum the alarms went off and it was scary. I mean it reached my room first. And Um like the Superman he was he came and got me, because I was burned badly on my back as you seen the scar on my back. Uhh, he grabbed me and ran back to their room. We got out of their window and he helped us down to the lawn. And as he was about to come down we heard my moms cat purring and meowing loud ass hell, that he had got her. My mom yelled for him to forget it, but that man would never let us down and he hopped back in the window after telling us he will be back...I never seen my Dad again." I leaned across and wiped the tears from his face.
"Sorry didnt mean to make you cry."
He laughed, "Oh God!! I didnt even notice...ughh I just hate talking about it." I grabbed his hand and responded, "I know I can never replace him in your heart, but I am here for you."
"Thanks." He told me as we smiled at one another and he grabbed my hand.
That Night I climbed into bed with Zeda and she laid there reading. I laid across her stomach and she exhaled, "I see you two finally broke the ice. What did it?"
"Seals." I told her and she laughed as she rubbed my head. She chuckled, "Thats cute. My two favorite boys getting along. Keep making mama proudânow why you down there..its been a long day and I can useee some head." I looked up at her and chuckled, "With pleasure."
