Miguel Sanchez Chapter 4 Before he could get out another word, I stopped him in his tracks. "Just a minute. Not one of you stepped forward to assist us because you were all to busy starring at Alex here. But as soon as this young man comes over to help, you think you can just run him off. I don't think so. Now do you want my business or not?" The owner said, "Excuse me Mr. Davis. Of course Mr. Smith here may assist you. Anything you need, we'll be more than happy to accommodate you." I told Cody what I wanted then left him to work his magic on Alex, and that he did. I was surprised that he was able to find a jacket for Alex that didn't need alterations. Cody found Alex the perfect shirt to accent his hair and his eyes. I thought Alex was stunning before, now he was drop dead gorgeous. I was truly proud to be escorting this young man in public. We were about to leave when Dave and Trey came inside. Trey was speechless. As soon as he could find his tongue again he said, "My God, he is with out a doubt the most handsomest young man I have ever seen. May I have the honors of escorting you, Master Alex?" Alex was giggling when he said, "Thank you Trey, but I think I'd like my father to have the honors tonight." Trey understood this completely and said, "I totally understand. You have a very lucky man there my boy and he is very lucky himself. Your chariot awaits gentlemen. Our dinner reservations are in thirty minutes." We all got back into the car and headed to the restaurant. I was worried about how Alex would take going to one of the finest places in England. I told him about it on the ride over and he seemed to beam with pride that his soon to be father would want to take him out to such a place. I told him I was the proudest man of the face of the planet at that moment. Trey pulled into the parking lot and opened the door for Alex and I to get out of the car then opened the door to the restaurant for us we entered the place. Trey walked to the hostess and informed her of our reservation. Another person came over to me and said, "Good evening Mr. Davis and how are you tonight. I'm Carl, the manager. Nice to have you and your guests here." He looked at Alex and smiled at him saying, "It is indeed a pleasure to you as well sir and what is your name?" Alex smiled and shook the manager's hand saying, "I'm Alex Daniels and Mike here is going to be my Dad." He totally caught me off guard with that statement. The manager just said, "You will have a fine man for a father. He is indeed a good man who will love you with all his heart. I wish you both the best. Now, if you will follow me, I will take you to your table." When we entered the dining room, the place got totally quiet and all heads turned towards Alex. Then Alex did something that got me worried. He froze right in his tracks. I tried putting my arm around his shoulder and guiding him but that didn't work. I even whispered to him but that didn't either. I was beginning to wonder if there was someone there he may have recognized but my baby was like a statue. Trey came over and took his hand then I reached for his other one and he finally came out of it. I was seated next to him and I said, "What happened son? Are you all right? You had me worried there." Alex looked over at me and had a sad look on his face. He said, "I'm sorry Dad. I guess I'm not used to all this attention. I mean it's nice but I'm used to being just another kid in the crowd." He got me to thinking with that. When you are just about the richest person in the country, you're bound to turn heads especially when you have the most handsome boy in the world on your arm. I hadn't thought about his feelings totally and I thought it was cute when people started fussing over him. I realized that we were going to have to start going to less fancy places and make these only for special occasions. I looked at him and said, "Alex, I'm sorry I didn't take your feelings more into consideration when I made the reservations. I come here all the time and I don't think anything of it when people stop and stare at me. Please forgive me. I will let you pick where we go out to eat when we do. I have an excellent chef at home so we can dine in. I'd rather just have my meals with my boy anyway." Alex smiled when he heard that. I felt him squeeze my hand and say, "Thanks Dad. I just got over whelmed that's all. I know I have to get used to all this. Can you just give me a little time?" I got choked up when he said that. I smiled and said, "Of course son. Take all the time you need. This is very new to you so it can be frightening." The waiter came over and brought us our menus. As he handed Trey his, he winked at him and smiled. When Dave saw this, I thought he would loose his mouthful of water. Dave quickly covered his mouth with his napkin before he spewed right there on the spot. Meanwhile Trey was turning a few shades of red. I looked at him and said, "I think he may like you." "Mike, I don't know what to do." Trey said. "I haven't been out on a date in a very long time. I have my work and all the kids are like family to me. I've just never felt the need to find a boyfriend. Don't get me wrong now, I've seen a few of the kids with their boyfriends and I know they are very happy but I'm just not sure." Dave looked at Trey and said, "Trey, just play things by ear. Talk with him when we're finished and see what happens. Take is slow and if it's meant to be, then it is." The waiter came back over and asked if we would like to order any drinks and I said, "I'd like a bottle of "J" Champagne, and a glass of sparkling apple cider for the young man. We are celebrating a very special occasion." The waiter wrote our order down then, he slipped Trey a note as he left to fill our order. It read 'I would appreciate your company for an after dinner drink in the bar.' Trey looked up and was blushing. "God he just asked me to have a drink with him in the bar. What do I do?" Alex looked up at him and said, "Go for it. He's not going to jump you in the bar; it's just a drink. You might actually like the guy. What do you have to loose? Go on and enjoy yourself." I had to laugh at that. Here was a boy who earlier in the day had been called gutter trash and then thrown out of his house. Now he's a bubbly confident young man offering advice like an adult. I was really impressed. When the waiter came back with our drink order, I noticed the nametag he was wearing on his vest. The name read Andrew and he was quite the good-looking young man. When he filled my glass I whispered to him, "Our friend would be honored to join you for a drink after dinner." Trey saw me say something to Andrew and asked, "Just what did you get me into? Did you just say yes for me?" I just smiled and raised my glass to toast Alex's arrival into my family. I had finally come up with a plan that I knew would allow me to add Alex to my family and keep his mother out of our hair once and for all. I said, "To Alex, my soon to be son but who has taken my heart as if he were already. May his new life be filled with love, joy and happiness for many days to come." We all touched glasses and the others said, "Here, here." We ordered a magnificent dinner then it was time for the after dinner festivities. Andrew came over and we ordered coffee while Alex got a huge banana split. Trey smiled and nodded his head and follow Andrew into the bar. I smiled and said to Dave, "I hope at least Trey finds a friend. If something more comes from this, great but he needs some one he can talk and relate with." Dave was a little more subdued. He looked at me and said, "I hope he's OK. I worry about him so. I guess I should be happy for him but he's been like a son to me for so many years." Alex looked at him and said, "Does he live with you and Mike too? If he does and they become boyfriends, I'm sure there would be room for one more person especially how big Trey said the house is." Once again it was I who was amazed with the level of maturity in which Alex spoke. "I guess Trey's boyfriend could live there too." I just got those words out of my mouth when I saw Trey heading back over to the table. I couldn't tell what it was, but there was something different about Trey. I was debating whether or not to say something when Alex spoke up and said, "So how was it Trey. Do you like him? Did you get his number so you can ring him later?" Treys looked at him and smiled saying, "Bloody forward aren't you mate? Would you give me all the sorted details if you and your boyfriend had a date?" Alex dropped his head then looked at Trey but he spoke first saying, "Awe I'm sorry little bro. I was just having a go with you. I did get him number and I do plan to ring him later. He's a bloody hunk." Alex quickly looked up when he heard that. He was really happy for Trey. He was looking up at him like he was his big brother then he realized the boy he had his eyes on for all this time was only a dream for him. I paid the bill and left Andrew a very handsome tip for the service he provided us this evening. We walked out to the car just as it was beginning to get dark. I had Trey take us to the house so I could get Alex settled into his room for the evening. As we made our way out of town, Alex noticed that the houses were getting larger the further away we went. Trey turned off the main road onto a private road that led to a secluded driveway. He reached his hand over the visor and pushed the button on the remote control. He stopped the car so the gates could open then her entered. Alex looked out the window as we passed through the gates. As soon as the car cleared the gate, it began to close all by itself. He looked out the back window to see them return to their original position without Trey touching the remote a second time. We headed up the long winding driveway and soon the house came into view. Alex's eye grew very large as he said, "Man, that place is bloody huge. It's wicked Dad. Is that all yours?" Before I could answer, Trey had the car parked inside the garage and we were ready to get out. I walked over to the door leading into the house and entered the security code turning off the alarm. The light on the panel went from red to green letting me know it was safe to open the door. We made our way into a small room where there was somewhat old carpet on the floor and a laundry tub. I said to Alex "This is where you take off your dirty shoes and if your clothes are a mess, you can remove them here also. We entered the kitchen area where everything had been cleaned and put away for the evening. Alex was taking in everything as his head was turning in every possible direction. Left, right, up, down and then repeating the process. I took his hand and said, "This is the kitchen, son. This is Ramon's domain, he is my chef and if you ever wish to get on his bad side, get into the refrigerator without his permission." I sort of got him with that one. He looked up at me and said, "Well what if I'm thirsty Dad, can't I get a soda or something?" I smiled at him and said, "Certainly son, just let him know that's what you want to do and he will not have a problem with it." We headed out of the kitchen and into the dining room. Alex was looking at all the fine china and crystal sitting in its proper place in front of each chair. He touched the fork then the edge of the plate. He came back over to me and took my hand. I think he may have been afraid of breaking something and then I would get angry with him. That was never a concern. I know that boys will be boys and things are going to get broken. What I had to do now was inform the staff that this young man was now part of this household and what ever happened, happened. We passed my office and I opened the door and showed Alex where I would work when I decided to work from home. I said to him, "In time son, I will show you what everything in here is and how it works. Across the hall here is the computer room. There are several here that you may use at your leisure." I was about to continue down the hall when I heard someone behind us. I turned and saw Phillip, the butler standing behind us smiling. "Good evening Michael," he said, walking towards us, "Good evening David, good evening Master Trey and who might this handsome young gentleman be?" Alex was feeling right at home and he spoke first saying as he extended his hand outward, "I'm Alex Daniels and Mike here is going to adopt me." Phillip took Alex's hand and gave it a firm handshake saying, "It is so nice to meet you Master Alex. I was wondering when I would be hearing little footsteps around here. Welcome to the household and to the family, sir." Phillip leaned down and gave him a kiss on the head. Then he said, "If there is nothing else sir, I shall retire for the evening?" I was touched by Phillip's kindness towards Alex. I guess he is excited about having him around here as I am. I looked at Phillip and said, "No Phillip, that will be all for the evening. Sleep well my friend." I continued showing Alex the downstairs. He had gotten used to the surroundings then I brought him to the staircase leading to the second floor. On the second floor was the master suite where Dave and I slept. In it was a full office with two computers and desks for each of us to work. We each had a full dressing area with huge walk in closets. The bath was almost as large as the downstairs computer room. It had a shower that could easily hold 5 people with room to spare. There was a whirlpool bathtub big enough for 4 and there was also a full size hot tub with room for 8. There were five other rooms on the second floor. One room was Treys, about two-thirds the size of the master suite. The remaining rooms were just a bit smaller and each had an office/playroom complete with it's own dressing area and full bathroom. They weren't as elaborate as the one in the master suite but they were all good size rooms. I took Alex into his room first. I wanted him to see where he would be sleeping. I opened the door and led him into his quarters. I smiled saying, "Son this is your room. Come and see if it is to your liking?" He entered and went everywhere looking and touching everything that was now his. I had called Phillip earlier after talking with Dave and Trey and had him buy Alex some new clothes a boy his age would like. I knew he wouldn't have much in his small satchel. When he went into the dressing area, he immediately opened the closet and saw all the clothes hanging neatly in order. What can I say, that was something Phillip did with all our clothes. He walked in and looked around. He looked at a pair of blue jeans and saw the size. Then he looked at a shirt. Running out with tears in his eyes, he leaped into my arms saying, "Daddy, how did you know my size? They're perfect and I love them. Thank you." I held him saying, "Welcome home son. I hope you like it here?" He had quit crying, and then said, "Like it, I love it here. Can I see your room? I get scared easy and I want to know where you are." I carried him out into the hall and to the master suite. I opened the door and he just gasped as he saw everything. I set him on his feet and he immediately went to the bed. He jumped up on it and got comfortable. He looked at me and said, "I love this bed. I hope mine is like it and man it's big. I think I'll be getting scared quite a bit Dad. You and Dave are going to have to get used to waking up with me in the middle here." We were all laughing when Alex said that. I looked at him and said very seriously, "Would two naked men scare you or bother you?" He stood up on the bed and held his arms out to me. I walked over to him and set him on my hip when he said, "Why should it? You are my Daddy and Dave is like my second Dad. I did everything I could to get you to touch me earlier and you didn't. Yes, maybe that was wrong but I had to know for myself if you wanted me for me or for my body. I now know you love me for me. I have seen men naked before and that doesn't bother me. Everyone here love me and when I'm in my room, if it's all right with you, I'd like to go naked after I take my evening shower?" I smiled at him and said, "As long as you are in your room, I don't have a problem with that but you must have your bath robe on when you are here on the second level. You must be properly attired if you are going to be in the main house. Are we clear on this?" Alex hugged me tightly and said, "Thank you Dad, I will remember what you just said and that's just fine with me. I'm getting a bit knackered, I think I'm going to turn in if that's alright with you?" I put him down and showed him the door that led from his room to mine and said, "In case you have a bad dream, you can come in through here." He smiled and went in his room to get ready for bed. The three of us talked about how this day had turned out. For me, it was better than any day I had ever had and that was including when I took NetWorld global. Trey said his good nights and went to his room. Dave and I sat on the love seat and cuddled until Alex was ready to be tucked into bed. We didn't have long to wait either. Soon we were hearing from the private door, "Dad, Dave can you tuck me into bed?" We both went inside and saw our beautiful God lying in bed. As we got closer, he extended his arms up to Dave first. Dave bent over and wrapped his arms around Alex and said, "Good night son, sleep well, may you have pleasant dreams tonight." He kissed him on the lips for the first time. Alex smiled and said to Dave, "Thank you for all you have done for me. You showed me kindness for the first time. I am sorry for what I said. I didn't mean it." Dave kissed him on the cheek as if to say, "Don't worry about it. That's all in the past." I saw him reach him arms out towards the door. I turned around and Trey was coming over to his bed. He sat up and we could tell he was naked under the covers. It didn't matter to us in the least. Trey sat on the edge and said, "Little bother you are home now. I will be your protector when they aren't here. No one is going to hurt you ever again. I love you and I'm happy you will be living here. Sleep well little one." Trey kissed him on the cheek and hugged him. Then it was my turn. I took Trey's place on the bed. Suddenly I had a naked boy on my lap. I looked at him with love in my eyes and said, "Welcome home son. As far as I'm concerned, today starts the first day of the rest of your life. You now have nothing to worry about. Dave, Trey and I will see to it that you are my son quickly and properly so no one can take you away from me ever again. I also want you to know that unless you want to, you won't have to see your mum again. Do you understand this?" Alex's eyes were a little wet when he said, "I would rather be here three years than talk with her for three seconds. I never want to see her again. I have to be the luckiest boy on earth. Dad, I do have to ask you something. There is this boy I like and his mum won't let us even talk to each other because I'm not on her social level. He's so cute and he's real nice too. Do you think you could talk with her so she would let us be mates? I smiled at him as I laid him on the sheets the placed the covers over him and said, "For you son, anything. I'll have a word with her in the morning. I wouldn't be surprised if the two of you were playing together by dinner. Now my sleepy child, close your eyes and get some sleep." I kissed him gently on the lips and rubbed his head as he closed his eyes to head off to dreamland. We went into mine and Dave's room and closed the door behind us. Dave and I gave Trey a hug and said our good nights to each other and we got ready for bed as Trey went to his room to go to bed. We did our nightly business, stripped out of our clothes and cuddled together and drifted off to sleep ourselves.
