. . . Chapter 46 . . . Moring came all too soon.  The last thing I
remembered was it was about 4am and Garret turned and faced me and softly
said . . . "Jake he is way cute and I like him, all of him . . ."  But this
was morning with the sun on the window curtains and I was hugged up to Ian,
what happened to Garret?  Garret was on the other side of Ian, face to
face.  Now don't get me wrong I wasn't upset just the opposite.  This Swiss
boy has a very warm body and the rippled stomach of a top notch athlete.

   I had to roll over adjust things and make some noise to get everyone up
and moving.  Well everyone was up but what I meant was . . . out of bed and
packed for the ride home.  We joined Kevin and his crew and decided to make
a quick trip the Submarine Museum just a few miles away before heading
home.

   The boys all left to just walk around.  Kevin, Ian, and I sat and
talked.  Kevin said he and the four boys would plan a trip to visit and go
camping.  It was time to go and all the boys were around the van and my
truck.  They had done a great job packing everything.

   I had to find Kori and Kyle they were the only two missing.  The room
door was slightly ajar and as I pushed it open Kyle and Kori were locked in
a fully embraced passionate kiss.  Kyle had his arms around Kori's neck and
well the rest was a great picture.  They turned with slightly red faces and
said . . . "we were just saying goodbye."  They just smiled and went to the
truck and van.  I think boys this age can have more than one boy friend.
It is the beginning of learning to love.

   We were all in the truck and off to the Submarine Base and museum.  We
arrived and in just an hour we emerged in navy and sub warfare.  The boys
were fascinated with everything.  Designated the Navy's first Submarine
Base in 1915, The base has 11 submarine piers (9 SSN rated, 2 Adequate).
The base also is home to more than 70 tenant commands and employs more than
9,500 active duty, reserve and civilian personnel.

Then it was on to the Museum.  Amazing!  Aboard NAUTILUS, you experience
first-hand the thrill of being a submariner.  You walk the decks that made
Naval history: the world's first nuclear powered vessel, first ship to go
to the North Pole, and first submarine to journey "20,000 Leagues under the
sea." Explore spaces where the crew worked, ate, slept, and entertained
themselves on their long voyages far beneath the ocean's
waves. http://www.ussnautilus.org/virtualTour/index.shtml

   It was almost noon and we all just grabbed a quick lunch there.  I
called Neil to give him an idea what time we expected to be home.  We said
goodbye to Kevin and the boys and jumped in the truck and headed home.  The
trip home was only 2 ½ hours and we were home at 3pm.  The boys unloaded
everything.  Then the boys showed Ian his room and he was very surprised at
how big it is and the queen size bed.  As I looked at Garret I had an idea
he may have company on more than one night.

   Kori, Liam and Garret showed him the boy's room and how Kori and Liam
slept up top in the full size bed and Garret slept in the lower twin bunk.
Then Ian spotted the X-box . . . Oh Wowww!  Ian was excited and it was
obvious he was into games too.  Of course the tour was not complete without
showing Ian the bathroom and the fact there are 2 doors.  Then they
explained the shower is big enough for two; it was more that Garret
explained it was big enough for two.

   Down the hall they took Ian to the master bath and told him all about
the bathtub. Liam the little big mouth he is said . . . "Yeah sometimes all
four of us get in and Kori gets a stiffy."  . . . Ok too much information
big mouth.  Ian smiled and said . . . "Well Liam that happens to all of us
sometimes it's no big deal."  I think that made Kori, Garret and Peter feel
much better about having Ian around.

   There was a knock at the door and it was Peter's mother here to get
Peter. We all said . . . "see ya later" and peter was off to his house.  As
peter was leaving it was time for us to show Ian the rest of the gang.  We
walked to the barn and Ian met Finley and we released him to the large
paddock.  Eric and Dusty were in the lower pasture and just enjoying the
afternoon sun.  The horses saw us at the gate and came to see if we had
treats.  It was apples for all the horses and Ian remarked how beautiful
they were.

   As we were standing there Neil drove in and we introduced him to Ian.
As I looked at us as a group I had to think here we are six of us ranging
from 9 to almost 24 and all really good looking.  I am not conceited, vain
smug or arrogant it's just the truth.  I know Kori would agree with me, for
some reason Kori didn't look like his usual self, something is bothering
him.

   I asked Neil to stay for dinner and called Garrets dad and asked him as
well.  I think this is a great day for a good cookout and let us settle
back to our regular routine.  For some reason Kori was sticking very close
to me.  I thought it was that he was a little down after all the fun and
excitement of the past few days.

   Neil said it would be a few more weeks and then he could get the cast
off, so we knew Dusty will be her for that amount of time.  We brought Eric
and Dusty in and saddle them and Garret and Ian went off to the lower
pasture for a short ride.  Liam and Neil were playing darts on the side of
the barn.  I was walking to the house when Kori caught up to me and we
walked into the kitchen together.

   I started to take out the plates and things for dinner when Kori walked
to me and hugged me.  He thanked me for his birthday and said how much fun
it was to be with Kevin's boys and he really liked Kyle.  But in some way
his face said he was sad.  I asked him what was up.  Kori looked at me and
with a tear and said . . . "I miss my mom."  Kori started to cry.  I don't
know what triggered it but I had my "little boy Kori" in my arms.

   I was leaning against the counter with Kori in my arms when Liam and
Neil came in they stopped, turned around and walked out.  Kori stopped
crying and asked . . . "Jake can I sleep with you tonight, just the two of
us?  Something was wrong and the only way Kori could fix it was to have
alone time with me.  I told Kori it was a deal and Garret and Liam could
have the boy's room to them self and of course Ian had his own room.

   Garrets father arrived with some Japanese pastries to finish dinner.
Garret and Ian were riding and we all went to watch them. Kori was glued to
my side and as we stood at the fence his hand was in mine.  Garrets dad was
excited to see how well Garret rides.  I explained to him all about Ian and
the tutor program for the summer; he was extremely happy about that and has
offered to chip in on the cost of food.

   As Ian and Garret were approaching the gate I could see the smile on
Garrets face as he waved to his dad.  To see them both smiling and happy
was uplifting and gave me a feeling of peace.  I was so worried about
Garret and his feeling of abandonment.  It appears that there will be a
father son relationship in the near future.

   The boys got off Eric and Dusty but the horses needed more exercise so
Kori and Liam went for a ride I told them I would signal when it was time
for dinner. Ian helped Liam in the saddle and as I boosted Kori I saw a sad
face.  I can't explain the affect it has on me when Kori isn't happy.  It
can make me sick to my stomach when I see him hurting.  They say love hurts
and its true . . . so very true.

 Neil, Garret, his father and Ian sat at the table and talked and we told
them all about our trip to NY City.  I asked Ian and Garret to help bring
things from the kitchen to the big table on the porch.  It was the perfect
opportunity for me to talk to them about Kori not feeling well.

   I explained to Ian how Kori had come to live with me and that for some
reason Kori was having a difficult time tonight.  It may just be that the
excitement of the past few days has worn on him emotionally or something
bigger.  In any case Garret said he will occupy Liam tonight and Ian said
he was looking forward to a good night sleep.

   I am wondering if I made the right decision having Ian for the summer.
I will have to work things out and it could be that it will end up the very
best thing to happen to my boys.  They will have the companionship of a
very brilliant and talented mentor for the summer.  I'm thinking positive
it will be a wonderful summer full of laughs, challenges and fun.

   We started the grill and finished getting things ready and I signaled
Liam and Kori to come in.  I asked Ian and Garret to unsaddle the horses
and that gave me a little time to talk to Garret's dad.  His dad said he is
making many changes at the house and wanted to ask Neil to do some work.
It appears that Garret's dad is thinking that he will have a good
relationship and wants Garret to have things much the same as here.

   I told Garret's dad if there was anything I could help with to just ask.
He said . . . "Jake I think I have much to learn and I am watching you and
how you talk to the boys.  More importantly is how you show and tell them
you love them.  It is not our culture to be open like that, but I am
trying."  That is all I needed to hear to know that everything should be
fine with Garret and his dad.

   The boys joined us but Kori just walked by and as he did he gave me a
slight hug not really even stopping.  Neil and Ian took over cooking while
I went to check on Kori.  He was in my bedroom on the bed.  I sat with him
and just rubbed his back.  He wasn't crying he was just not himself.  Kori
sat up and looked at me then hugged me and said . . . "Jake I love you so
much please don't leave me."

   I have no idea what brought this on or what he is thinking.  I said
. . . "Kori I don't have any idea why you would say that but I will never
leave you.  We are a team and I love you so much how could I live without
you? It appears you forgot you're my "Stud Muffin" can't let you go."  Kori
finally smiled I kissed him and we decided it was time to eat.  Plus if we
didn't go now Neil would have all burnt up.

   We had burgers with all the fixings and a lot of questions for Ian.  Ian
is from a small town called Wengen and is popular in summer for hikers and
skiers in winter.  With dinner over and the pastries gone we talked a bit
while the boys went to their room to play X-box.  Ian was delightful and
explained all about the summer tutoring program.

   About eight o'clock Garrets dad asked to see Garret and they went for a
walk.  Neil excused himself and headed for home.  Ian and I just sat and
talked.  He was very open and honest about being gay.  He said that he was
aware of Garrets interest but went no further with the conversation.  He
did say that where he is from that sexuality is more relaxed than in the
US. He did make me laugh when he said it was so cute when Liam was
describing four in the tub.

   Garret and his dad returned and they were both laughing.  Garret told us
that his dad was about to say goodnight and then he hugged his dad.  I
nearly fell over when we saw Garrets dad kiss his cheek.  Oh please let
things work out for Garret and his dad.  Garret came and sat with us and
was so cute trying not to be obvious while looking at Ian.  Geeez this is
going to be interesting.  Just let it be better than the thing with Ayden.

   We all decided to get the horses in and chores finished and we can let
Eric and Dusty remain in the upper pasture.  Back in the house it was TV
and games.  Ian, Liam and Garret went for X-box.  Kori and I were in the
living room watching some TV program, who knows what it was.  I was more
interested in running my fingers through his hair and just hugging him.
This lasted till bout 9:30 when Kori asked . . . "Jake can I have a bath?"
Now that really means is . . .  will you take a bath with me?

   I asked Kori politely . . . "Stud muffin will you please go turn on the
tub heater?"  Oh, it was a ten million dollar smile and he was off to the
bathroom in a flash.  I went and told the boys that Kori and I were going
to bed.  I had to talk to Liam just a bit and explain that for some reason
Kori was sad tonight.  Liam was Ok with it and I went to the master bath
with Kori.

   I stepped in the tub and Kori dropped his shorts and stepped in with me.
Like always he sat between my legs and leaned back against me.  The
difference tonight was he didn't try anything.  There was no touching.  I
just held Kori in the warmth of the soothing water.  Soon I could feel Kori
as he started to cry.  I said . . ."Hey Kori what is going on, I know
something is not right and we can't make it better if you don't talk about
it."

   Finely he began . . . "When we came home today I was looking out the
window toward my house up on Raves Wood and I remember everything from the
day we had the service.  I remembered the words that minister said
. . . "we are here to celebrate not the death but the life of Myrna
Preydon, Dear father we ask you to receive this child, our sister into your
loving arms" and then the butterflies landed on me.  Jake I know my mom was
sick and I was mean to her.  I know she tried but I was mean."

   I just held Kori as he cried. I tried to tell him that he didn't know
and that his mother loved him so much.  Each tear that fell from his eyes
was like a searing hot knife to my heart.  I wanted to take his pain and
all I could do was to hold him.  Over and over and over again I said it is
alright Kori.  Then I had an idea.  I said . . . "Kori tomorrow after
breakfast we will go get some summer flowers and we can go visit your
mother and you can tell her how much you loved her.  She really knows but
she will love your visit and we will leave the flowers right at the steps.

   I think our tears stopped at the same time but Kori's hurt is deeper
than I ever realized.  We opened the drain and rinsed off dried and went to
bed.  Kori was beside me and my arms held him tight.  I told him the story
of the three pigs and made like the big bad wolf and blew in his ear making
believe I was blowing his house down.  Oh was that a giggle?  It was!  Kori
turned facing me . . . his deep blue eyes were directly looking in mine,
not speaking aloud but I could read his lips as he said . . . "I love you"
then he kissed me . . .  just a little kiss that said he was better.

   I pulled Kori close and just watched his face.  I love how his hair
falls so soft and gentle around his eyes those little curls highlight his
facial features.  He is adorable and I love him. I saw his body relax and
when I thought he was asleep I moved slightly to slide out of bed, then he
gripped me like a steel trap and would not let me move.  It was sometime
before I could even turn over.

   Eventually I did check on Liam and Garret, Liam was in bed with Garret
and all wrapped around him.  Then as I walked back to my bedroom I looked
in on Ian.  The house was all quiet and peaceful.  I needed to pee and then
returned to bed.  I woke at 4:30 to find and to my surprise Liam was all
curled up to Kori.  I walked down the hall and Ian's door was open
. . . and what did I see?
