Cade Felix Thompson

The Meeting - Part I

Both Maggy and Bobby are trying to help Terry and I track the old Peacekeepers members. While doing so, Maggy is telling us about she ended up with Bobby. It's kind of very detailed. Too much information. But we listen to it anyways since both Terry and I are intrigued how did Maggy the Lesby end up with Bobby. At first, she tells us that after Phoebe, her ex-girlfriend, cheated on her with some other girl on the school, she was really depressed and that she left like she needed someone to ease the pain or something and it happened that Bobby was there. They hooked up, like, really, straight sex. Maggy claims that she was so drunk that night she couldn't even determine her sexuality whereas Bobby says she had so many orgasms when they both had sex. And then it continued, and continued, and continued. When they graduated High School, they had each other's number and would still continue to hook up. Maggy says sex with Bobby was great and heavenly (Terry and I make a disgusted expression towards Bobby and Maggy) and that it was perfect. At the time, Maggy had completely forgotten about Phoebe, her ex-girlfriend, and something inside Maggy bubbled when she and Bobby stopped having sex. In that time, as Maggy says, she missed Bobby a lot and there was this strange feeling inside her that she couldn't understand. She knew she was lesbian and was interested in girls and only girls, but when with Bobby, she felt like she's a whole different person. Bobby continues the story; he says that Maggy called one day, asking to meet up in a place called Stoic, a restaurant that was near the High School we'd been studying. I still remember the restaurant but I haven't gone there yet. As Bobby continues, he tells us that they met and both had closure, and then their feelings sprouted and burst like an explosion. As cheesy as it sounds, they both cried. And now, they both have a son. A seven years old son. Perfect story.

Terry and I just keep our mouth shut as we research for the other members on the internet. Maggy and Bobby share a look with each other and peck each other's lips and I fake a gag, which earns me a hit at the back of my head from Maggy. Terry chuckles and Bobby laughs out loud as he shakes his head. Terry and I are writing the addresses of the other members of the Peacekeepers. Technology is the best. We keep searching and searching, until we have listed all the addresses of the members and we're ready to go get them.

Day has turned to weeks. Genny, Chad's deceased wife, has been buried under the ground a week ago and I don't know if Chad's doing fine or okay. All we know is that he hasn't gone outside, or to even mingle with his friends. We always pass by in front of his house, just to check on him, but we always get nothing. As for the search of the friends, we've successfully contacted the other members. George, Thalia, Esther, Thomas, Carlo, Tesla and Kart. We found out that Cory is out of the country right now and is living with her wife. We managed to get a hold of him and he told us if he could come here. He said he could, but it would take a month or so since he had a lot of things to do. Cory said that he's already forgiven Chad ever since he had been pushed away by Chad and he told us that Chad will always be his brother. He promised us that he would try his best to come back here in USA as soon as possible, he just needed to fix some things.

As usual, today, I'm all alone at my own house and I don't have anything to do. Those members are still busy and need to do their own shits before we go barging in Chad's house and comfort him. My daughter, Yumi, has been so busy with school that she barely sends me a message or gives me a call anymore. As for my son, Josh, he's also with his son, Chase, and his husband, Ezerette. They are both working hardly, mostly Josh, but Ezerette is more of a wife because he always watches out for his son and prepares things for them. And as promised, Ezerette did enroll Josh to a cooking school. He needs to attend at least once a week. Ezerette's reasons are quite perfect. He keeps asking Josh what if he wasn't there with them, then they would die of starvation.

My ex-wife, Elaine, is also busy with her boyfriend. I was supposed to go to work today, to the company, but I thought that Josh was better and I wasn't needed there. Deciding I should take a bath, because I probably smell since I haven't showered yesterday, I go upstairs, to my room, so I can take a hot, long bath.

I strip off myself, throwing my worn clothes into the dirty clothes basket and go ahead inside the shower. It's just 3 in the afternoon, and a cold bath would do me good. So I turn on the cold shower and the water rains on me and I shiver as soon as it makes contact with my skin and I sigh in contentment. This is one of the days that I just want to stay in the bathroom and play in the water like a kid. This is one of the days that I just want to be alone and think. Because, admit or not, bathroom is the best place for you to think and we have no idea why. I rub my face with my bare hands as the cold water cascades down my body. I grab the liquid soap and a small towel that is placed on top of the closed-lid toilet, I put some liquid soap on the towel and lather myself and I groan when the soreness of my body goes off and I smile in contentment as I massage every sore part of my body. I keep groaning and grunting and my mind flashes a vivid image of Chad being underneath me, writhing mess and mewling and I instantly get hard and push the thought away immediately. This isn't the right time to think of sexual thoughts with Chad. Also, it's a good thing that the water is cold so my erection goes limp quickly. I continue to massage my body til I decide that I need to massage my scalp with coconut shampoo and so I do. This gives me time to think on how I would be able to prepare myself, but everybody knows that even we prepare or ready ourselves, we will never be fully prepared. But I can try. I don't want to mess things up that it already is right now. I don't want to add to Chad's burden because he has been through a lot and he doesn't deserve this mess that he is in.

When I'm done showering, I instantly get an idea that we, the members and I, need to plan, so I immediately send them a quick message to go over my house if they are free. In the message, I indicate my home address in case they are free to go here and have a discussion. As soon as I'm done texting, I throw the phone on my bed and bounces as soon as it collides on the soft duvet. I walk over my closet and open it, and choose a plain dark blue fitted shirt that hugs my muscles perfect and tight, but not really tight, and match it with a cream-coloured short. I pick the clothes and wear it and after that, I brush my hair with my fingers and slick them back. I realize that my hair is growing out and need a bit of a haircut. When I have a free time, I'll go. I pick up the phone and see that I have a lot of messages and open them one by one and read. It belongs to the members of the Peacekeepers. Their response is, they are free and will be here half an hour or so.

I don't have a lot of time to prepare a meal for them, so I decide pizza will do to all of us. With pizza, it's safe. I dial Domino's Pizza's number on my phone and it rings for a couple of seconds until a lady picks up the call and greets me a good afternoon. I tell her my order; three large pepperoni pizza and that's it. The lady tells me that my order will arrive in exactly 20 mins and I tell her it's okay. I drop the call and wait for the members to arrive in my house.

While waiting, I clean the living room so it will look presentable. It's not like I want my house to be dirty and all, but yesterday, I wasn't able to clean the house because I was too lazy to do things.

The doorbell rings and I run over to the front door to open it. And as soon as I open the door, the whole squad is smiling up at me and I grin.
