Chapter 41

Hennie had not been wrong when he said that Lionel would earn his pay, and the same applied to me. It was hard, and hot work for a couple of early teens to do. The rolls of barbed wire were so heavy it needed both of us to carry one as it swung on a steel pole pushed through the centre of the roll and as we unrolled the wire sometimes a barb would catch within the roll and we would be pulled up to a sudden stop and have to use a spike or pliers to unhook it before lifting the roll again and moving on to the next post. We also had to use a post-hole digger to replace some posts that had rotted through and this took both of our strengths combined to get anywhere as the ground was hard and dry. I think we impressed the couple of labourers who were working with us in that we kept at it without complaining and kept trying even when we saw that one of the labourers could dig a post-hole by himself quicker than the pair of us could do together. Hennie did not let us use the wire strainer however as he deemed that a bit unsafe in case the wire snapped and whipped back on us. But we did have to go along and hammer staples into the fence posts to fix the new wire to the post while the strainer was still holding the wire taught.
The two labourers worked the whole morning with their shirts off, but Hennie would not let either of us take our shirts off stating that he was not about to risk the wrath of two mothers if we got burnt. This was going to become a topic of discussion for the two of us when we were alone in our beds that evening and from that we resolved that we were going to go shirtless as much as possible to where we could cope with several hours under the hot African sun without shirts and without burning to a crisp.

After lunch we were back in the workshop with just overalls and tackies on draining the oil and refilling the sump on the tractor, greasing the joints and bearings and topping up the hydraulic fluids as needed as well as changing filters and giving it a general clean up and once over. I felt quite privileged to be trusted with this responsibility unsupervised and also showing Lionel what to do. We were so busy doing the tractor service that we did not even notice the passage of time and before we knew it our work was interrupted by ma calling us to warn us that it would soon be dinner time and we should start cleaning ourselves up. Fortunately we had just finished the service and so could clean up and it was only when I slipped the top half of my overalls off to make sure that I got all the grease off my arms and they sagged down my legs revealing my naked bum and cock that we realised we had not even talked about anything to do with sex or the sleepover all afternoon. And my clean cock was witness to the fact that I had not even gone for a piss the whole afternoon either. Lionel also had the same evidence as to his remaining on the job.
"How do you think Willie and Johan will feel when we tell them that it's hands off?" Lionel asked.
"I don't know. I guess they might feel a little hurt, but if they are an item too, then maybe they will be glad we want it that way." I replied.
"Is it ok if we fuck in front of them though?" Lionel enquired of me.
"Sure. Others have seen me being fucked before so it doesn't bother me. How do you feel about it?" I asked.
"Well I like fucking and also quite enjoy being fucked and if the opportunity arises I wouldn't want to miss out on it just because we have an audience." Lionel said.
I had not picked up on the nuance in what Lionel had said to me, but my brain would stew it for a bit and then drop the penny to get the gears turning correctly later on and I discussed it with him as we lay together in post orgasmic bliss in my bed later that evening. But for now we had finished cleaning up as much as we could in the workshop and headed over to the house to finalise our cleaning up and get ready to eat. As was our habit we hit the shower together and then made our way to our room with just a towel wrapped around our waists to get dressed in sleeping shorts and a t shirt. Lionel then left the house and crossed the short gap to their caravan to eat with his parents and I made my way into the kitchen to find out what we were having for our dinner.

The next morning Stephan and Johan arrived and Stephan drove straight to Willie's house to drop off Johan's kit and then Willie and Johan rode with Stephan as he came over to our house to get his instructions for the day ahead.
Lionel and I went out to see them in the garden while Stephan waited for ma who was not quite ready to see him. After greeting everyone we all just stood there in silence for a little bit and then someone started talking and after a short while the conversation moved round to the sleepover.
"Guys, PP and I have decided that we love each other and so are an item now and as such we don't really want to mess around with anyone else. We don't mind you watching us and we don't mind watching you guys but we hope it will be ok if we don't do group gropes or anything." Lionel came right out and said it all in pretty plain speaking.
"No. We don't mind. We were kind of hoping that might be the case, but I really didn't want to hurt PP especially because I kind of thought he might have a thing for me because of what we have done before." Willie explained.
Then I saw Stephan and realised we had just told him the same thing and I was worried that he was hurt. "Sorry Steph, I don't want to hurt you or anything but it is how it is." I said.
"Don't be a right bloody twat. I am happy for the two of you and if there weren't a big risk of some awkward questions if we were seen, I would have grabbed both of you in big hug and kiss to show my happiness and congratulations. You see I knew that Willie and Johan had a bit going between them and was worried that you would be really hurt by it and now I can rest easy knowing that you are ok. And I am not hurt, but relieved. You see, because you helped me get over my fear I have had the courage to find a guy and as it happens I have fallen in love with him and this has forced me to tell my parents because I want to be able to bring him home to stay with us sometimes; and I want to be able to bring him here and introduce him to the person who helped me to find myself again." Stephan told us.
"Fucking hell, you told the folks that you're gay?" Johan asked in total surprise.
"Yeah, I told them two days ago, but they asked me to keep it quiet until they had decided what they wanted to do about it. This morning they said that though they were upset, they have accepted it and I am still their child and they still love me just as much and are really thankful that I had the courage to talk to them about it." Stephan explained to us but more to his brother.
"Did you tell them that I am gay too?" Johan asked.
"No. They have not asked me either and if they do, I will say that it is not my place to answer for you." Stephan told him.
"Have you asked them if you can bring the guy home? Do I know him? What's his name?" Johan fired off the questions one after the other without giving Stephan a chance to answer.
"No I was waiting to hear their reaction first, and then give them a bit more time to get used to the idea before I bring a boyfriend home. And no you don't know him, his name is Christopher and he goes to the same agriculture college as me. I think you will like him though." Stephan answered.
"So we're all couples now." Willie said, "And I think we will all be happy with that."
"Well I'm happy with my PP and I am glad for you other guys as well. If feels good to have a special friend and know that person feels the same about you." Lionel said.
"Yes it does." Stephan agreed, "but remember what we are doing is still illegal in this country and we can go to jail for it if we get caught. My parents reminded me of this today and begged me to be very discreet so that we are not caught. And you guys must be also. Jail is not a nice place for a person who has been sent there for being gay."

Our conversation was brought to a halt by ma calling from the door to tell us that coffee was ready and she wanted to see all of us together for a little bit. We headed for the kitchen and collected a cup of coffee each and then went out onto the front veranda where ma was waiting for us.
"I know that you are looking forward to a sleepover tonight, but this is still a working farm and there are chores to be done. So for today I am expecting you guys that are getting paid by me to do some work especially as I doubt you will be up to doing any useful work tomorrow after whatever you get up to tonight." Ma started to explain once we were all settled in our chairs. "Now I know in way Johannes you are the odd one out in that you don't work for me, but I am willing to give you some work for today for which you will get paid a little bit if you want it. Do you?" ma asked Johan.
"Ja tannie, if the others are all working I will be there helping them anyway and if you are willing to pay a bit that makes it better, but I don't really need any pay for just one day." Johan said.
"Nonsense, if you are doing work on my farm, I will pay for it. If I can't afford to pay then I will not have you do the work." Ma said rather forcefully. "It is not a lot of money, but it will be fair."
"What do you want us to do?" Willie asked.
"Well that is the thing, I have struggled to find something that you can all do together and I have just one thing which will probably take you all day to get done. That big field by the second dam, the one we have left fallow this season is going to be cropped next season but I want to rescue what hay we can get from it so that is the chore for today, I hope. Johan can you drive a tractor?" ma asked.
"Ja tannie, I drive them all the time on our own farm, ask Stephan." Johan replied.
"No. I don't need to ask Stephan, I trust you to be honest with me." Ma said.
"Thank you tannie." Johan replied, as he recognised the compliment ma had just given him.
"So this is what is to be done. Willie and Johan will drive the two mowers. PP you will drive the baler and teach Lionel how to do it at the same time, and Stephan will operate the forklift and load the trailer. Willie and Johan remember the baler has to follow behind you so nice straight lines and make sure the shield pushes the mown grass into a single pile. PP make sure that you teach Lionel well and give him plenty of chance to practice. And all of you remember that Stephan is in charge and if he tells you to jump you jump." Ma sent us off with a final admonishment that we were not go swimming until all the field had been mowed and baled and the bales were loaded on the trailer.

As we got up and walked over to tractor shed, I was happy that Lionel and I had managed to service all the implements that we were using today as well as the big tractor that we serviced the day before which Oom Jakob was using on another job. When we got to the tractor shed Stephan stopped us and began to exert his authority.
"Willie and Johan take the two blue Fergusons and connect the mowers to them and remember to keep the blades up until you are on the field. PP and Lionel come here first." Stephan ordered. When we got alongside him Stephan bent over and spreading his arms wide he pulled us into a hug and said, "I am so happy for you both, look after each other and remember that a good relationship requires more giving than receiving." And then releasing us from his hug he told us, "Right you take the Kubota and hitch up the baler to it and remember to keep it raised until you are on the field."
Stephan was going to drive the big John Deere with a back hoe and front forks on it and use it to tow the hay bales trailer so he had quickly hitched the trailer up and was able to come around to us and make sure we had hitched up properly and had raised the machine sufficiently so that it did not get damaged in transit to the field. Then with Stephan leading, we set off in a small convoy to the field.
When we got to the field Stephan set Willie off first cutting the initial swathe of grass along the edge of the field. Then once Willie had got about a hundred meters along, he sent Johan off to cut the next swathe parallel and on the edge of Willie's cut. After Johan had got about a hundred meters along Stephan set me and Lionel off with baler working along Willie's cut. The mowers were blowing the cut grass into lines to the side of the mower and so all we had to do with the baler is keep it centralised on the line and its rakes would pull the grass onto the auger which fed it up into the compression box where the grass was compressed into a rectangular block and automatically tied with twine. Once the bale had been completed it was released from the compression box and allowed to slide down a chute back onto the field. While the mowers could go at any speed and just needed to be steered in a straight line to make it easier for the baler, with the baler you had to gauge your speed so that you were not overloading the mechanism by picking up too much grass as you moved along and this also had to be done while making sure you stayed central over the line of cut grass. And where there were patches where the grass had been longer and you got a bigger pile you had to slow down the speed of the tractor to allow for the extra grass being fed into the compactor box. Having two of us riding on the tractor was a help because one could steer facing forwards and the other could watch the flow of grass into the baler and warn the driver to slow down or speed up. You could tell if you were going too fast for the quantity of grass because it would spill over the edges of the feed chute and drop back down to the field. If you left too much behind this would need to be raked by the baler again in order for it to be picked up and double your work. To avoid this we went a bit slower than we might have been able to get away with, but at least did not leave enough behind to warrant going over it a second time.
Instead of going up and down the field in straight lines, the two mowers followed the border of the field and went around in concentric circles so that Willie always remained a bit ahead of Johan and when he got back to the starting point he was able to simply move over and start going alongside where Johan had cut.
Although it was hard and hot work, it was also fun and it gave Lionel and me a chance to take our shirts off for a bit and get a bit of a sun tan. When we got to the far side of the field we took our shorts off as well and tried to get a bit of an all over tan. Of course Lionel was half way there before he even started, but still he wanted to get a bit of a tan. I told him it would make him look like one of the labourer's kids and he threatened to pee on me if I pursued that line of talk. Initially we had intended to put our shorts back on when we neared the starting point, but as we got closer to it we could see that it was just the five of us in the field still and so we stayed naked for a bit longer.
Stephan was busy picking up the individual bales and stacking them in small piles ready to be loaded onto the trailer. When he had about three stacks he returned to the start and collected the trailer and took it the first stack which he loaded onto the trailer and then connecting up again he moved on to the next stack and loaded that and then the third stack which completed one level of bales across the full length of the trailer. That done he moved on down the line and began stacking bales again and repeating the cycle to add another layer to the trailer. When he had six layers of bales he threw tie downs over the top of them and secured the load before towing the trailer back to the barn where he unloaded it with the help of some labourers whose job it was to hoist them into the hay loft.

It was only when Stephan got back that he discovered Lionel and I were naked and he told us to put some shorts back on or else we would get badly burned on our cocks and that would be very uncomfortable. My skin was showing signs of slight pinkness and so not wanting to experience the pain of sunburn on our nether regions, we pulled shorts on and about half an hour later put our shirts back on to protect against sunburn on the parts of our body that were more used to the harshness of the African sun.
By midday we had got more than two thirds of the field done and Stephan had made a couple trips back to the barn with several tons of hay. We decided we had done enough to allow us time to stop for a bit to eat and a cool drink under the shade of some trees. While we were eating Stephan asked Lionel and me how our skin was feeling and did we think we had got too much sun on things. We both said we were feeling ok and when Stephan saw the questioning looks from Willie and Johan, Stephan explained about our attempt at some all over sun tanning.
"That's a cool idea, let's see how much you got cooked." Johan asked.
I had no problem with that and stood up pulling my t shirt off and then dropped my shorts standing before them in all my shaved glory. Although Lionel had not been naked in front of Willie and Johan he was not shy and was following my lead in seconds.
"What's with the shave?" Willie asked and I explained to him the thing about the school and Lionel's suggestion we try it out to see what it is like. Stephan made us dress again and said that if we get finished in time then we could all go skinny dipping in the dam at the end.
Although we had only been stopped for about twenty minutes we had all finished eating and drinking and were just whiling the time away so I suggested we just get on and get the rest done so that we could have more time to swim at the end. The others liked this idea and we headed back to our tractors. I told Lionel that he could do the rest of the tractor driving that day as I had done more than him in the morning. Lionel accepted, nervous but excited at the same time and we set off back to where we had stopped for lunch.
It was getting close to four o'clock when the baler spewed out its last bale and Stephan picked it up and loaded it onto the trailer giving him a three quarter load for the last load. Then leaving the tractors where we had ended, we walked across the cut field to dam and stripped off before plunging into the cold water. We played around for about three quarters of an hour and then Stephan said we should head back. We all got out of the water and not wanting to put our dry clothes onto our wet skin we picked the clothing up and walked naked back to our tractors where we dressed before heading for home and our sleepover.
