Chapter 26 Kori, Jake, and Liam; A Story of Love Please let me know if you are enjoying the story, A Neglected Boy jacoblion@tutanota.com Chapter 26 . . . . . . . . We all slept soundly through the night if the boys had to get up and go pee I never knew, I just slept that soundly. I was 6:30 and no sun yet. I was thinking about yesterday and last night and how aggressive Kori had been. Then I had to ask myself was he really that aggressive? Maybe not. I rethought everything from the start. Kori was a neglected boy; I don't think it was intentional on Myrna's part it was because of her sickness. Kori had been deprived of the closeness and love that a young boy needs. Now he has me and he is enjoying the attention, closeness and love that he has missed. At the same time Kori is going through that difficult time in a boy's life when the hormones begin to run wild. On top of all this we add Liam who is hanging on every step that Kori makes, and Liam needing tons of attention as well. I have just realized that the "curiosity" he is showing with me might have been with another boy, had he had a close relationship and sleepovers with someone his age. Of course I could also be wrong. It was 7:15 and I slipped out of bed and managed to go to the bathroom and out to the kitchen without waking my boys. I was just making coffee when my cell phone started to vibrate. I picked up the phone and stepped out on the back porch, it was Peter's mother. She explained they had to go visit an aunt and would be gone all day and not back till midnight or later, and Peter didn't want to go. The question was could Peter stay the day and sleep over and go to school with Kori? "Yes that is a fantastic idea" I said "and if Peter has not had breakfast he can eat with the boys." I must assume that they knew I would say yes because at 8 am Peter walked through the door, no knock just walked right in. I said "shhh" "the boys are sleeping in my bed; you can go in quietly and wake them." Peter tiptoed to my bedroom and I continued to get breakfast ready. It was 8:45 and I had not heard a sound. No laughing, no giggling, no running down the hall. Perhaps they are up to no good. I quietly went to the bedroom door and peeked in . . . . . . . all three boys were in bed fast asleep! Peter was hugged up to Kori and Kori with his arms around Liam. It was cute and I did get a photo; and now should I ask them to help with something and I get a negative response I have the photo! I am not about to let this go. I am going to start the morning with a laugh. Quietly I took hold of the top blanket and sheet and gave a pull right off the bed. . . . . . Akk . . . all three of them were naked! Oh but the look I got from Peter as he was trying to cover up his privates. Kori was red but laughing and Liam was running down the hall. It had made my day. Peter tried to explain and all I said was . . . "Shush, Kori sleeps naked all the time, and Peter it's no big deal do you sleep naked at home?" Peter told me had been sleeping naked since he was 9. I said . . . "so when you're here if want to sleep naked it's fine, hmm just be good Ok?" He turned red and laughed. Then I told Peter and Kori to go get dressed for breakfast. Soon the boys were in the kitchen and ready for breakfast. Today scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, OJ, and milk. Kori was making toast, Peter was pouring milk and OJ, Liam was setting the table and I am making the eggs. I like my kitchen table with three boys and all the talk. There was lots of testosterone this morning to go along with breakfast. I asked the boys politely that when breakfast was over I would like to get the horses out and chores done; then go to Wal-Mart and get a dresser for Liam. We should be home by 11 or 11:30. I / we could assemble the dresser tonight so Liam will have a place for his clothes. It was going to be a great day and we should plan on going mountain biking. The boys were all for that and it was dishes in the sink and shoes on and out the door. I know I am not alone at having good boys there are many families with boys just like these, but it is new to me. I thought the boys were in the barn and doing chores so I settled down and just did the dishes. I had everything done in the kitchen and all put away. I decided to look at other mountain bike trails in the area before going to the barn. I went to the barn and it was just amazing everything was done and they even had the horses turned out. We stood at the gate watching the horses and I told the boys I found an awesome mountain bike trail just as close as yesterday. They wanted to know all about it. I said lets go in and get to Wally world and I would explain on the way. We jumped in the truck and away we went. As I was driving I explained about the trail. "Boys it is called Hawley Trail" and with that Peter jumped in . . . "Amazing the place fantastic we went there last year Oh Jake this is so great but we need a lunch." I went back to describing it . . . "So guys it is 11 miles and a little tougher than yesterday with meadows and flowers . . ." They weren't really listening to me because Peter was telling about all the awesome features. He was doing a good job so I just let him talk. We drove to Wally world and headed straight to the home items section. Picked the dresser closest to the furniture in their bedroom, and to save time making lunches we went to the deli section and picked up four subs and chips. We checked out and were home at 11:00. The boys unloaded everything while I checked the horses. In the kitchen we packed our backpacks. Kori got a case of water and we just loaded the bottles in a cooler and dumped ice on top. We changed into our biking clothes . . . "those pearl izumi bike shorts leave nothing to the imagination not even for Liam" . . . and the boys ran out to get the bikes ready. I remembered the camera and we were ready. When I got to the truck everything was ready and water and backpacks were already loaded. I lifted the bikes with the help of Peter and Kori. Liam was in the truck first and would not move from the window seat. He called it first so it was his. Kori was in the middle then there was a little argument. It ended up that Peter and Liam were in the back and Kori was shotgun up front. With that settled we were off and running. It was only a fifteen minute ride and we were there. I was as happy as can be and so very proud of these boys. Peter is different when he is with me and the boys than when he is at school. At school Peter is more like the boss and louder maybe like the director on a movie set. When he is with me and the boys he is very much like Kori. Kind, gentle and I guess even loving. He does have a great personality and very funny. As we were unloading the bikes; this lady pulled up next to us and guess who stepped out of the SUV? Oh my . . . Garret. An Asian boy who is drop dead gorgeous wearing a black and lime green pearl izumi jersey and skin tight attack shorts. Now Kori, Peter and Liam are all over him and I am starting to sweat just looking at this sweet thing. His mother introduced herself and I don't remember her name but said Garret was here for the afternoon and she would pick him up at 4:30. We did exchange phone numbers. I was slightly embarrassed when Garret noticed me staring at him, but he just acknowledged it with a smile. With everything ready we headed out on the trail. Garret decided to ride with us he said it was more fun when you ride with other riders. The trail was a single track easy to moderate trail with many twists and turns. Every so often there would be a break and we would stop and let everyone have a turn at being up front. The boys were having a blast and so was I. I was so very surprised that Garret enjoyed being with each of us from Liam to me. I enjoyed it when he was right in front of me for sure. Amazing little butt. We weaved in and out of pine trees over rocks and up to an over look where we took a fifteen minute break to chat and get some photos. Another group of riders stopped for a few minutes and took photos of all of us so we could have a memory of the ride. Garret and Peter hit it off and looked good together. While chatting there I found out he was really only fifteen a month ago. The boys were ready to get back on the trail so Liam took the lead and off we went. We wound through this beautiful meadow and I took the lead with Garret, Kori, Peter and Liam close behind. The trail at this point was smooth and quite straight. I looked in my mirror and Garret was right at my back wheel the sight of those white teeth told me he had a big smile and was having fun. We had a hard climb ahead and Kori was up front. It was the hardest climb of the ride. Our elevation gain for the entire trip was over 863 feet. This climb was 255 feet and we were in granny gear all the way. We reached the top and were treated to the most beautiful view of the forest. We needed a break and it is now easy to see why this 11 mile was an afternoon event. Kori, Liam and Garret were chatting and checking their bikes when Peter came over to talk with me. Peter said . . . "Jake thanks so much for letting me come over, and going here this is so much fun." . . . I said . . . "Peter thank you and you are very welcome to come over any time you want, just watch the language." He elbowed me with a smile and then said . . . "Jake you know Garret is gay right?" I looked at Peter and said . . . "No, I didn't but it doesn't make any difference to me he's a really nice kid." Then Peter said . . . "Oh Ok well he thinks you're hot and he's been checking you out." I looked at Peter and said . . . "You're crazy it's your imagination." Peter said . . . "It's true he even told me." I had to turn away I felt things stirring. I hollered to the boys that it was time to hit the trail again. While we were riding I thought to myself . . . "well I am only 23 almost 24, 5'7" 145 pounds and very fit; boy was I feeling good." We were about ¾ the way through the loop and the last climb was ahead. Peter took the lead and Garret right close to him and then Kori, Liam and me. We were now at the top and everything was downhill from here. So the chatting was all about the summer and what everyone wanted to do or where they wanted to go. As we were talking I noticed Garret looking at me and it was where he was looking. He made no attempt to try to hide his stare, I smiled, and no it was more of a grin. I think I was trying to say thanks; and then said Ok lets go. I needed to be on my bike quickly. We headed down the trail through some spectacular scenery and finely broke through into a small meadow and the parking lot. We all were laughing and having a good time it was a great ride. We started to break down the equipment and get ready to load the bikes. Garret's phone buzzed he answered it and it was his mom then he looked at me and said . . . "Jake my mom needs to speak with you." . . . I took the phone and his mom said . . . . . . "Hi Mr. Roberts my SUV has something wrong and it won't start; I hate to ask I know I just met you but is there any chance Garret could go with you? The tow truck is on the way and I could pick him up later if that would be Ok with you." I said to his mom . . . "Oh that is no problem and there is plenty of room in the truck, please don't worry and he can have dinner with the boys, they can have a party." I hung up as Garret could hear the conversation. He had a huge smile. All the boys were excited they were going to have a party. I had to interrupt and remind everyone about chores. Kori said . . . "no problem Jake we already know the chores have to be done. Can we have a pizza party? I said . . . "Kori I think that is a great idea we can stop and get some of those pizzas we buy and then bake at home. I think two of the giant ones will be good, you boys decide what you want. We loaded the bikes and as we did Garret passed between Peter and me and I know I felt his hand against my butt. Well I think it did. Kori was in the front and Peter, Liam and Garret were in the back and they all were having such a good time. Kori thanked me I think 50 times for such a great day and now a party. They already were talking about the X-box games and Garret wanted to see the ABZU game. We stopped at Pizza time and the boys made it very easy. They decided two giant pizzas with pepperoni and extra cheese. Kori and I went to get the pizzas I pay he carries and the other three were body guards, I think. We drove in and the boys took everything out of the truck. Put the bikes away and took the cooler in the house. Garret put his bike on the back porch and followed the boys to their room. The boys returned shortly in play clothes and went to the barn. Garret has things down right as he had blue checked soccer shorts, thin nylon, and a T-shirt in his back pack and changed with the boys. I don't think it took 20 minutes for the boys to have chores done and then Kori and I brought in Finley, Dusty, and Eric. Chores done and it was only 5:15 and the boys wanted to play a game on the X-box first. I had to say Ok but after showers. I kinda got a dirty look from Kori. Now the boys had to figure this out. It ended up that Liam would take his shower in my bathroom and Peter and Kori would shower in his bathroom and after Liam had showered Garret could use my bathroom. I told Kori and Peter not to take all night if they wanted to play X-box before dinner and got a Yes Sir reply. What I didn't know was they went and took the shower together. In the meantime I set the shower spray for Liam and told him to get in. The next thing I hear in a loud voice was Liam saying . . . "Jake come wash my back please", I think everyone in the house heard that. Garret had a smile ear to ear then he said . . . "Jake you want me to go wash Liam?" . . . interesting, umm I said . . . "Ok Garret just watch the bruises on his back." Everyone at both schools knew about Liam. All I heard was a lot of laughing and Liam singing so I was relaxed. The next thing I saw was Liam running to his room naked. I thought nothing of it and was trying to get everything ready for dinner. I heard Kori and Peter laughing; that's when I found out they had showered together because Liam was running to tell me they were. About then I hollered to them to get out and get dressed. Everything was really great and a lot of fun. Then I heard Garret call me he needed a towel. This has turned into a three ring circus. I set things down in the kitchen and went to my bathroom to get a towel for Garret. The shock I got. Garret was standing in the shower naked half hard and smiling. I handed him the towel and was looking at him as he said . . . "sorry it does that; you haven't showered yet Jake you want me to wash your back?" I took a deep breath, smiled at him, and said . . . "not today Garret." (But really, it was all I could do not to just step in.) Garret is a slightly older than Kori physically and Wowww! (I'm going to guess 5 inches totally hard and thin, shaped beautifully.) Garret dried and went down to play with the boys and I put the pizzas in the oven. I am not sure what to think. I went to the living room turned on the TV and I had about 30 minutes to just sit and relax. Well I thought I did. Liam came in and jumped on the couch and scooted next to me. In much the same way Kori does and his little hand was on my stomach. Next minute or two and here is Peter he is on the other end of the couch telling me that Kori and Garret are playing the game because he lost. I looked over at Peter and he had this smile on his face. Sometimes smiles are good and sometimes there not and this is one of those "Not" times. I heard the timer go off and I called Kori and Garret and Liam and Peter and I went to the kitchen. Liam and Peter started putting the plates around and napkins and the glasses then Garret and Kori came in saying how good it smelled. I opened the oven and took the pizzas out. They are so big that they just fit in the oven. Both were covered in extra cheese and were dripping in the best olive oil. I sliced the pizza and we all sat and talked about the day and how great the pizza is. I let the boys get up and get more by themselves. Kori was at the counter getting 2 more slices and Garret was standing next to me with his arm leaning on my shoulder when Kori turned around . . . the look! Kori didn't say anything and Garret just went to the counter and got another slice and brought one for Peter and Liam. I got up and picked up another slice for myself and as I turned Kori shot a look at me like "he had his arm on you!" Oh dear now, now we have company and we need to be nice. We finished dinner and the boys all helped clean up. Just as we putting the plates away Garret's phone buzzed it was his mother; he walked to the door and all we could hear was Garrets part of the conversation. . . . "Mom no, we're all having fun there's plenty of room . . . talk to Jake mom." . . . I got handed the phone. It seems Garrets mother can't pick him up till midnight and asked me if I could take him home. Garret had seen the guest bedroom and wanted to stay and go to school in the morning with the boys and wanted his mom to ask me. I interrupted his mother and said . . . "I have Peter staying over and I do have the guest bedroom and it is fine with me if Garret stays. The boys are all having a good time. Could you just drop his school clothes in the morning and that way we can all get a good night's sleep." It seems I am a hero. . . . I gave the phone back to Garret and all I heard was "Yes!" Then he thanked me and told the boys he was staying over too. Everyone was excited and happy. Then they started to discuss the sleeping arrangements. I simply said that Garret would have the guest bedroom. That didn't seem to be their idea, but it was mine. Then as I thought about it more I decided to let them all sleep in Kori and Liam's bedroom. Maybe I am thinking too hard, but I am seeing little things with the boys. Peter and Kori are really close in friendship and a few times physically, Ok I'm not stupid and I know it will probably happen; you know "you show me yours I show you mine" No I have not forgotten that they showered together but I don't think there was anything going on other than looking. They have already pointed out the fact they know they both get hardons. Then there is the thing with Garret today; is garret just teasing me or is he trying to initiate something? So here is my decision . . . . They all sleep in Liam and Kori's room with Peter, Liam and Kori on top in the big bed and Garret in the twin bed. Hopefully with Liam up with Kori and Peter that will stop or limit any real sexual play, and with Garret in the twin bed he will remain in the bedroom and not try to get to my bedroom. . . . "Hopefully this works." My fear. . . . . I love Kori and I don't want something to happen with Kori and me that would change the love that we have for each other. I think the teasing has actually brought us closer together. In this way Kori sees me more as a big brother or best older friend and not a father figure. . . . In all honesty it is very difficult not to want things to go further; and there is the continued thought of how it would impact Liam. Liam is a little love and he has been through so much hurt in his life he now needs to just be loved by both Kori and I. I want us to be a loving family that enjoys sports, fun, music, and learning about ourselves every day. I hope I am not asking too much. So the boys now know who, what and where the sleeping arrangements are and it is time for either some TV or X-box. And the plot thickens. Peter and Kori decide X-box and only two can play at the same time so Liam and Garret will be watching TV with me. . . . umm . . . hmm . . . So I turned on the TV and Liam decides National Geographic some underwater shark violent lots of blood program and I get smart and go make popcorn. Liam and Garret are watching TV and I get a few minutes alone in the kitchen. . . . NO! . . . I'm just getting down the popcorn maker when Garret wants to help. Garret is standing so close to me in those thin soccer shorts that I can feel his body heat. His warm hand is in the middle of my back. I opened the corn and was pouring it in the machine when I felt his hand move to my butt. I think I was shaking I just said . . . "Garret" in a tone as if to say stop. It was too late, the back of his hand moved to the front of my shorts and brushed my erection and it jumped. He said . . . "I love the size" Oh thank goodness Liam came running in and said . . . "hurry up, where is the popcorn, the move is great." Saved! We finished making a huge batch of popcorn. Poured the popcorn into 4 bowls and I took 2 bowls to Kori and Peter. I entered the room to see Peter and Kori engaged in war on the X-box and I just set the bowls on the floor. They did not acknowledge that I even existed. I was happy just to see them having so much fun. I returned to the living room and parked my butt in the corner of the couch. Within four minutes Garret had moved next to my right side was leaning up against me the same way Kori does. Ok it is more comfortable for me to let my right arm go around his neck and hang down on his chest; two minutes later Liam has a pillow on Garrets lap and is stretched out watching the movie. I'm comfortable and everything is good. Liam is falling asleep and then I feel Garrets left hand as it begins to move toward the center of my shorts. Like with Kori I move his hand back to his left leg. I know I have a wet spot in the front of my shorts. . . . Two more times I move Garrets hand back; all the while this kid has the most devious smile on his face . . . . . .
