The characters are different as are the places to protect the people who may think that they are involved in this story someway. The mission of this is to bring as close as possible to you part of the life that could have happened. I have the copyright to this and all other stories written by me so if you wish to use this then please ask. This will include all fee-paying sites. The story of a relationship between a man and a boy is in most countries against the law so do please check to protect yourself. Does love really exist? This story I hope will go some way into answering that question. The Amusement Arcade. Part 9 The Wedding Gift. The school had become so grateful that I had taken the time to speak to the boys about all, and any information they needed. The school could not supply what happened that weekend. I gathered that the group had all become friends, yet neither of them had made a move to get any contact with each other or any of the other boys at the school. Brian had got to almost the top level in his class. He asked me to buy him a book with a gold or silver cover. Brian had some strange requests sometimes. I found him coming to me more often but he never showed any uneasy feelings if I was unable to help him. Time had come when he spent 3 days with his mum then 4 days with me. My time included the weekend. The book Brian asked me to get was written in each day. I was making notes so we had both begun to keep Diaries. For us both to keep notes about what we felt, what we did and all the promises we made, could have been very dangerous. I had a safety deposit box so set one up for Brian. The bank said he was too young but with the amount of money they had of mine, agreed to the request. In the box he kept his book, the first school report, a letter finally his ring and the necklace that Caroline had given him. School was quite stern so it was the best place to keep jewellery. Mary asked me for some help. Her divorced husband was emigrating permanently. The final forms to do with the children had to be signed. Caroline solicitors were not that immediate acting type of solicitor. Mary needed someone who could act fast with surprise against her ex-husband. I sent her to mine. Well Mary was in the office when he faxed her ex husband in Australia. There was almost an immediate answer. She said that in 5 minutes her long marriage was over and it was done. She did not even need to go to court, my legal team did the papers and in one afternoon her life was wrapped up for good. "Hi Nathan this is Mary. Would you care to meet me in Cuddles for Old time sake?" I was free so at 12-30 we both met. "Hey George the millionaire is in again. Better get some Skate on." It was good to be remembered. "Nathan I have something very important to talk to you about. First, thank you for your help with all those forms. Now then. I am going to be moving. I have become solvent thanks to you and Caroline. I am going to stay with my sister. She lives in Spain. I thought you should know first." When I first came into this restaurant I was asked if I was after Mary's son. The atmosphere was totally silent. Well that's what it seemed like. Now Mary drops this on me. Again I was suffering the silent totality of the room. I wondered just how long Brian was going to stay at the school before leaving with his Mother. From the few words I guessed that the family were leaving almost immediately. Stupid, pathetic, moronic so many words could describe what happen to me. The Skate was delivered, I left. I cannot even remember how much money I left for the meal. I told Red to take me to Caroline's. Caroline's comments said it all, "You look a mess. Into my office." I cannot remember getting there. "I guess Mary has told you her news?" To allow the pressure to escape I wanted to cry. I just could not begin to do it. I curled up on her sofa and started to ask things that no one in my surroundings could answer. Caroline said that I had to let go. It could never have been real. Mary just allowed her son to get his wish. In Spain there may be another. She is as upset as you. Just think what Brian is going to be like. It's Wednesday. When his Mother tells him I hate to think what he might do. He might smash the place up or even run away have you thought of that or are you just thinking about yourself again?" It was 4-30. Red called to say that Brian had been talking with his mum. I never asked anything. "Something happened. Brian was shouting Spain. He was over the moon. He tried to call you but Mary said you went for a walk and did not know when you would be back. Mary thinks it best that she and Brian see you together. I wonder if a meal at the Tower might be a good idea." I was on the speakerphone. Caroline hit a button, "Good thinking Red. 8pm tomorrow" I then did something that I had not done in a long time. I walked the sea front. I sat opposite for a while looking at the new Arcade that was almost ready to open. I remember it as Tangles. B.r.a.n. now took its place. The names of the owners lit up for all to see. I was sitting on one of the new stainless steel rubbish bins across from the Arcade. I stood up lifting the bin high above my head. The siren of the police car sounded while the car stopped right next to me. "Hello sir. Now what would you be going to do with such a pretty bin?" We all had a long talk. Brian's name was never mentioned. They agreed that they could not stop me smashing my own property but thought "What's the bin done to you for you to hurt it?" The police gave me a lift home. I gave them some coffee and my grateful thanks. No sooner than they left I called Peter. "I have a job for you. I want you to work out a price for the Arcade, my house and the 25% share in the Tower. I want to sell the lot. It is to be sold in one go and not 3 separate entities. Once a figure is agreed. They are to pay that amount to you. Once done I will have 7 days to remove my things and they can take control." Peter argued. "This has something to do with Brian?" I gave him a brief explanation. He said that he would make enquiries. I started to make a list of all the things that I did not want. I asked Red to help me get rid of the rubbish. In return I would give him the car to start his own Limo business. I called my legal guys to explain things over the next few days. The top guy said he was tied up with a few appointments. "I will see you next Monday 9am. I will have the papers for you to sign then I will do the rest. I will not ask but knowing you it must have been something bad to get you to move this quick." He accepted that personal things are private but I could share anything I wanted. At 7pm Friday, I washed and dressed like a businessman. Red took me for a drive. We watched the builders boarding up the Arcade. "What's going on?" He looked while I cried. He never moved till my composure had been regained. I wanted to talk to someone but my mind was full of Brian so any friend that I could have gone to just disappeared from my thoughts. Red looked at me harshly when the name of the Arcade was ripped down. He demanded to know. I remembered the doctor. Red must have broken the speed limit but got me they're in less than 5 minutes. "I have been waiting. Caroline said you would most likely call." Well I never left a word out. It was a speech entwined with tears and anger. The Doctor regrettably started to tell me that I was being stupid. I heard him say Brian then blanked ever other word. He gave me 3 pills. "Sleep well if you need to." I almost took the pills and demanded to go home. Red did not say a word. We drove to the Tower. In the lift I could hear the party well under way. The room was full and the show was going strong. In a far corner Mary was with Pam and Brian. I just hit the bar knowing that a good Brandy would help my evening. It was as if I did not exist. I watched them all smiling. I could see where the happiness was. I did after the second glass decide that I did not want my depressive state to infect the joy that ran around the table. Pam came to say hello. She was sweet. I even got a card. I said I would open it later. I could imagine a bear with thank you on it. I remember the one we won at the funfair. I would take it with me. Some mementos would be worth keeping. I made a judgment. The ring I had on, I took off. First I dropped it in the Brandy. That would join the last drink I had this evening, inside me. The glass magnified the letters N and B. I took it out. The man behind the bar rinsed it off for me. After I quickly dried it, I replaced it back on the finger it came from. Caroline spoke to Red. "Red said, "Sir do you mind if I take Mary and her things to the airport?" I said no. My heart was all beating with strange sounds. I thought that it was going to stop. I watched all the goodbyes while I pondered just what I was going to say. Mary smiled. Caroline grabbed hold of me. "You can wait in my office if that will make you feel better." I walked away. The children followed Mary and neither looked for me. I was thinking all the bad things I could but they had enough people saying good-bye without another who would have been crying while trying to speak. I saw the Brandy so poured a glass. The top window showed the car take off for the airport. Between the pills and the Brandy It stopped me crying. I was going to leave. The emotional party had finished. I could see me waiting for some letter so that I had some contact. I saw the show was continuing but the far table apart from all the mess was being cleared, it was empty. I was almost gaining my composure when a singer started to sing a love song for the couple that were seated at the front. I could feel my lips shudder. I wondered how Caroline did this night after night. I could hear the laughing of the people who had been at the far table. Even Red whose voice was so low was loudly laughing like a machine gun. "I see you found the good Brandy. So what's next? I hear that you almost smashed the Arcade down? Peter tells me that you are selling up. Life cannot be that bad no matter what happened?" I went against my judgment offering the 25% of the Tower to Caroline. She refused. "Just think about it after you have slept on it." The love song seems to be louder now so I said I would go think on it but I would have an early night. I began to think that was best. I sat to finish the last drop of Brandy when the hidden tears began to fall. I was so pleased to be left alone. The room was blurred. I was about to get my coat when the door opened. "I better take you home." Looking at me was Brian. "Well do you want to go or not?" The English language left me for a while. I stumbled through various words that I thought made up sentences. All that came out was a selection of words from several different countries. Brian reached my coat taking the card that Pam had given me. "Open this." I fumbled with the letter keeping my eyes up making sure that it was Brian still there. "Well Nathan, the time has come for me to go. Pam and I thank you for all you have done. This is something you should know. Brian is my stepson. His father as you know has gone. I gave him the choice at what to do. He said that he would be much happier with me. The papers are for you. All my love and thanks. Mary." The other papers were forms signed by Mary and officially recorded with the court that Brian's Father had given Parental Finality to Nathan Daniels. "Check the red form." It was a birth certificate for one Brian Daniels. "Looks like you have a son now. Remember the promise. Well that form is like a certificate that now says we are one. Do you mind that I asked for you to be mine?" I think the hug lasted for a long time. Caroline said that if I had only waited things would have been right from the earliest moment. "His cases are in the car, but there is something that I believe will make this right for both of you. Please meet Kevin Nash. He is a boy lover like you Nathan. He is Peter's friend. His job is quite special. He is a Lay Preacher. Although it is not official what you have is not official either. So with his help we have just enough private people to give you what you might both want. The ability to get married?" I looked at Brian while he looked at me. "Dad shall we? You know its what I asked, but you never answered without doubt." I think I must have shouted for the whole tower to hear. We both made vows to each other, we even added the Love honour and obey. I said for the rest of my life. Brian whispered, "I wont be a boy for much longer in your life." I told him that now we were together I would never let him go. After 30 minutes Kevin said to Brian "You may kiss the Man." People left us for a while. "I have with mum's help got something special for us. Do not be angry when I ask you this. Are you sure I can be all that you want?" I asked the same. We decided to go home. Together we left with Red dropping us off. He would collect Brian for school on Monday. As soon as Red left I carried Brian over the threshold. "Lets not waste any time." I watched while my son undressed. He stood in the living room wearing nothing but a one pieced button slip. Purple in colour. It was this moment that Brian gave me a pack from Mary. The note read, "I guess that you both will need these. Inside were two rings that had been sized to perfection. We took our time and covered each other's fingers. Brian walked slowly upstairs. I followed. He had made my bed ours. I was so happy that standing there naked with my boy in bed was perfect. I felt him in the slip. It was smooth like silk. As every button opened his excitement grew. That night we made love several times. My one special part was the moment Brian said he would love me always then climaxed, showering us both with a mixture of boys clear fluid then one white shot of extreme pleasure. He did it to me. I was like a volcano. My sperm flew over us both. I held my son, my son held me. Never again did we use father and son. From that moment we chose to call each other beloved. Of course man boy love could never exist but maybe one day you will see us and understand that it took us a long time to say I Do. If we see you, we will wave. The final part of this story comes over the next few weeks. I wont tell you all that happens but we both got to know just what had been missing inside our hearts. Me. I loved my beloved in the coloured slips brought especially for me. Brian, he loves me undressing him to find out what colour he had chosen for me. This man and boy were now 1. Forever and ever. At the funfair we had our fortunes read. We both would live happy and fulfilling lives. From the day we said yes we never saw Mary again. She did write but the letters became infrequent. Her last said that she would never believe that the boy she knew would fall madly in love with a man she knew, or was it the other way around. We send all the readers a kiss to show you that our love is the most tender of them all. Brian did manage to become top of the class. When his friends came to stay they all understood just what true love could do. From the New Year both Brian and I signed everything in both names. Peter and my lawyer got a real marriage certificate which as far as we knew no one had gone that far to get before. Brian remembered Mary but the day she signed the papers he had made his own choice. The silver rubbish bins opposite BRAN, owners N and B Daniels were all called Pam. A teddy bear was engraved on each. The Arcade became the biggest thing going on the sea front. Everyone said it could get no bigger. Our love knew different. Caroline brought a big brewery. She converted 20 pubs into places called the "The Lion's Den. I brought the Tower. Red runs it for me with a fleet of 12 Limousines. Why, I do not know, but Brian and I took BRAN and spread them all around the coast. He is going to be a very good businessman. Still at school I go watch him at sports days. His pride though was to have been given the help to buy a boat. It's big enough for just us. We christened it The Queen Mary's Mum. Well I better end this because my love is waiting for me. We are going for a meal for old time sake to Cuddles. I cannot think of a better way to close "I think we better get our Skate's on" I hope you can find love with happiness that I have found with Brian. Nathan J Daniels. Call me Lucky. Comments to Shaksbeer@ureach.com Flames ignored and extinguished. This is the end of "The Amusement Arcade." Have you ever found that kind of love? Let me know. When I have collected them all, I will get Brian to help me compose the one-off story called "The Open Diary." It will be based on what you have to say and nothing to do with us. B R A N keeps your love life regular.
