Rodie's Love: Chapter 8 By Snwdemon Jim had to stifle a laugh when he saw the hurt expression on Eddie's face. Cathy bluntly told him that if she were going to live here, then some redecorating is in order once they got back into the living room. Jim had given them the tour of the left and central portions of the house. "Not to be insulting to you Eddie, you have done a beautiful job for you and Jim. However, I do not think that Rodie or myself can bring anyone over here unless some drastic changes are made first." Cathy explained in an apologetic tone. "And exactly what is wrong with the way it looks now, if I may ask?" Eddie said in a quizzical tone of voice to Cathy. "Well Eddie, the place just screams 'FUCK ME' as soon as you walk inside the door. Now while HE may enjoy that, I do not," Cathy exclaimed and pointing towards Rodie. "MOM! I am not that bad! It's Jim's fault anyway, he is always horny!" Rodie protested in his defense making them all laugh. "Well Really Now!" Eddie exclaimed in with a look of mock indignation. Eddie's flamboyant, carefree style has always been one of his most endearing qualities to Jim. Living with Eddie had never been dull; it was not easy, but never dull. "Truthfully Eddie, this place is the epitome of bachelor hood. I need something a little homier looking for us to be comfortable. You don't even have any drapes for crying out loud," Cathy told him, trying not to bruise his ego any more than she already had. "I know Cathy, it has suited our lifestyle until now. I was getting rather bored with it anyway, and I was going to dip into Jim's wallet to have it redesigned. Only now I don't have to do it covertly," Eddie told her then flashing a grin towards Jim. "Sure, why don't all of you just rob me blind? What's an old man like myself supposed to do?" Jim asked in a suffering tone. "Oh! I know! I know!" Rodie said with a large mischievous grin as he hopped up and down. "You! Hush!" Jim said in a threatening tone as he pointed towards Rodie. "Why don't we all have a seat, Eddie then pressed a button on a remote. After a few moments a well muscled European looking young man who was perhaps 21 entered. "Everyone this is Marco. Officially, he is my personal assistant; unofficially he is my boyfriend. Marco, you know Jim, but this is Cathy, and that striking young man there is named Rodie." Eddie said to them all as he slipped his arm around the young man's waist. "I am extremely pleased to meet you Madam," Marco said to Cathy as he bowed and kissed her hand in the manner of the blue bloods in Europe. Jim could see that he knew how to flatter a woman. Marco then turned to face Rodie before saying. "I am pleased to meet someone as striking as you, young Sir." "Thank you," Rodie answered in a voice barely above a whisper. Jim could see his unease as he shook Marco's hand, pulling it back quickly. Rodie then bolted over to Jim's side, almost half-hiding behind him. Jim could feel Rodie's body shaking as he breathed heavily. Jim turned to him and quickly picked him up into his arms and guiding his head down to his shoulder. "It's alright Rodie, calm down now my love. I am here so everything is fine now," Jim whispered soothingly into his small ear as he hugged the small boy to him. Jim sat down on the leather couch, and he was about to explain the situation to Marco, when the young man came and knelt beside them. He looked directly at Rodie before speaking slowly but confidently. "I have heard about your misfortunes young Rodie, but you have nothing to fear from me. Please place your hand upon my heart and verify this with your extraordinary talents." Marco told him before unbuttoning his shirt and exposing his well-defined chest. "Go ahead Rodie, you are going to have to be friends with him eventually because Eddie loves him." Jim explained to Rodie gently as he kissed his forehead. Rodie tilted his head up and kissed Jim on the lips lightly before he nodded his head then looked at Marco. Slowly he extended his small hand that visibly trembled until he placed palm down upon Marco's chest. Rodie breathed in quickly as the feelings and images flooded him, then his eyes opened wide and he stared at Marco. "You can feel things too?" Rodie asked in a soft voice that had a nervous quiver in it. "Yes, young Sir, I have been able to do this since I was a babe in my mothers arms, but nothing like your abilities." Marco explained honestly to Rodie, showing the young clairvoyant that he was not alone with his abilities. "You never told Eddie or Jim though," Rodie asked in confusion. "Why make them distrust me more by telling them this? I prefer it much better that I can tell if someone is telling me the truth, like Eddie when he tells me he loves me." Marco answered Rodie as Eddie sat with a surprised look on his face. "It's ok Eddie, Marco can just sense someone's feelings more than others is all. Mom is better at it though, and so am I," Rodie thought to him then seeing Eddie relax. "It just surprised is all, but it makes sense now as to how he seems to know how to make me feel better when I am tired or stressed out." Eddie responded back to Rodie silently. "You are most talented young Rodie. You can actually communicate with others just with your thoughts alone. Amazing!" Marco exclaimed as he sensed what Rodie was doing at that moment. "Not everyone Marco, just someone who is very special to me, like Eddie is, and hopefully you now also." Rodie answered aloud as he blushed slightly. "I hope so to, maybe we can explore this more once you get back," Marco told him before he stood and moved on over to Eddie, and giving him a questioning look. "Don't worry Marco, I think it is wonderful you have this ability. Rodie has taken any doubts I might have had away now," Eddie told him taking his hand and motioning him to sit beside him. "I think it would be better if you introduced our child to them first Eddie," Marco told him before looking at Jim and Rodie. "You have a child Eddie? Jim, why didn't you say anything?" Cathy asked him with a look of surprise on her face. "I would have if I had known Cathy, but this is as big of a surprise to me also. I have not lived here in a year, remember," Jim explained to her before looking towards Eddie. "Would you care to explain this Eddie?" "Well, its quite simple really, I was lonely in this large house all by myself after you left. So I found my son to keep me company when I am home is all," Eddie explained in a nonplused fashion. He then stood and walked over to the double doors leading towards the bedrooms and opened them. He then said in a loud voice "I'm home" before walking back and retaking his seat. They all heard the sound of running coming down the hallway. Rodie had been sitting in Jim's lap with his small brow creased as he sent out his mind in search of the unknown child but not sensing anyone. Rodie then opened his eyes wide and quickly scrambled out of Jim's lap heading for the open door. He let out a happy "eeek!" as he dropped to his knees just as a Teddy Bear Shar-Pei came running through the door taking only a moment before veering towards Rodie. The dog did not slow down but tackled Rodie knocking him backwards onto his back where he proceeded to lick his face while the boy under him giggled with glee. "He's beautiful Eddie! I love him, what's his name?" Rodie exclaimed between doggie kisses and giggles. "How quickly they betray you, he was just using me until someone like Rodie came along. Everyone, I would like to introduce you to my fur child, Brutis. As you can see while he is mauling Rodie with his tongue, he is a wrinkly Dawg," Eddie said while Rodie rolled around on the floor laughing as Brutis continued his assault. "I had originally bought him for protection purposes, but the only thing Brutis will do is lick someone to death, I have discovered that he's all tongue." Just then Brutis abandoned his quest to give Rodie a bath, and ran over jumping up into Eddie's lap and licking his face. Rodie stood, and shook out his long black hair before going and sitting beside Jim. As soon as he sat down, Brutis jumped down off Eddie and ran over to Rodie, jumping up onto the couch beside him where he settled down next to the boy. Rodie started petting him, and then Brutis lay onto his side with his head in Rodie's lap while he panted heavily. "When did you get this beast Eddie," Jim asked as he watched Rodie gently pet the dog while he breathed heavily, although occasionally licking Rodie's arm as it came in range. "Well one of the employees owns a purebred, and she had a litter, so the woman offered one to me. It was love at first lick with us; I just had to have him so I brought him home. He was the perfect dog for me, he never listens, gets into everything, and he farts, snores, and belches. Like I said, he is perfect," Eddie said with a light laugh. "He isn't aggressive though, right Eddie?" Cathy asked as she watched Rodie, who was now nuzzling and talking to the dog, she had not seen him this happy in over a year. "Oh yes, he is quite aggressive Cathy, he will have you soaking wet in about 5 minutes if you let him. However, I do not think he even knows he is supposed to growl and bite strangers," Eddie said as he shook his head in feigned disappointment. "Where does he sleep Eddie?" Rodie asked looking up at him while continuing to stroke the dog's belly. "Anywhere he decides to keel over actually. See Brutis is the biggest wimp of a dog I have ever seen. He is afraid of the dark, hates thunder, and being alone. Therefore, where ever someone is in the house is where he usually is. I setup a bed in one of the guestrooms, and if you move in there then he will sleep with you. I do not think he has ever used his bed that I bought him, he prefers to sleep on the foot of the bed while you are in it. I do have to warn you though, he can clear an entire room when he farts," Eddie explained to Rodie while Brutis showed no shame in changing allegiances to the small boy rubbing his stomach. "Really Eddie? He can stay with me in my room?" Rodie asked him with an eager look. "Glad to be rid of him, he can suck the blinds of the windows when he gets to snoring. Anyway he prefers to sleep in between Marco and myself, whom we find awkward most of the time," Eddie answered him, watching him as Rodie's face lit up like a new sun in the sky. His smile faded quickly as he frowned in thought for a moment before turning towards Jim. "I can't keep him Jim, cause he would have to stay in your room then," Rodie said with a sad look on his face. "I doubt that Rodie, I am not going to let him loose on a pair of my leather shoes. Remember Rodie, you will have your own room here. I do not mind if you decide to sleep in my room, but you need your own room. Think about this, what if you ask Eric to come and spend the weekend with you. Are you still going to sleep with me while he is here?" Jim asked after explaining to him that he was not moving into his room. "I had not thought about that really Jim," Rodie answered a bit sheepishly while still softly stroking Brutis's belly. "You know, Eric really likes you to Jim, he wouldn't mind staying in the bed with us. You can even kiss his pee-pee too, like you do mine." Rodie thought silently to Jim making him blush then frown at him. "I do not think so young man. I have a very refined taste, and I only like the flavor of your pee-pee," Jim thought back watching Rodie blush prettily as his hair partially hid his face. "You really do need your own room, my love. I would love you to spend every moment with me, but you have to live your own life. I do not think you will want to sleep with me every night once we are settled. You need some privacy and personal space just for yourself. Do you understand what I am trying to tell you my love?" Jim added silently. Rodie stopped petting Brutis and his brow creased as he concentrated for a moment. He then brushed his hair out of his face and behind his ear before looking at Jim. "I never thought of it like that Jim. I think you are right about that too. Because I do like Eric and Mark, and I will want them to come and stay. I used to have Andy and Chris sleep over back home...until they stopped being my friends." Rodie said seriously, then a very sad expression of pain came onto his face. Brutis sat up and nuzzled Rodie's neck, sensing his sadness. "You won't stop liking me will you boy?" Rodie asked the dog with a small sniffle. Brutis leaned over and licked Rodie's face a few times before sitting down again and looking at him. Rodie smiled a little as he scratched behind Brutis' ears. He sniffled again and a tear trickled down his face. Rodie lowered his head so his hair could hide the tears he could not stop although he tried very hard to not cry in front of everyone. Finally raising his head and releasing his sorrow, he turned and buried his face into Jim's shoulder and sobbed. Jim embraced Rodie gently and pulled him up into his lap, wrapping his arms around him as Rodie cried. "It is ok my love, go ahead and let the pain out now. You will have true friends now once you are settled in. One day Andy and Chris will realize what a big mistake they made by turning against you. It is very rare for a person to find a true friend with a pure heart like the one you have. You have already started making real friends here, like Eddie, Marco, Eric, and Mark, my love." Jim said quietly as Rodie let go of his long held pain of his young friends' betrayal towards him. He could feel Rodie's small body shaking more as his pain overwhelmed him again. Jim looked around and saw the others understanding of what he was doing for Rodie. Jim then looked at Cathy, and made a motion of taking a pill then pointing at Rodie. She quickly understood and reached into her purse pulling out a small pill container while Eddie got up and brought a glass of water to Jim. "Here my love, take this and it will help you feel better, then we can go lay down with Brutis for a little while ok." Jim said softly as he lifted Rodie's head and placed the bitter pill in his mouth then held the glass to his trembling lips as he drank. Jim sat for another 15 minutes comforting Rodie until his sobs had almost ceased as the tranquilizer took affect. Brutis had edged closer then laid his head onto Rodie's leg as if he understood what Rodie was going through. Jim then motioned to Eddie, who came over and helped him stand with Rodie in his arms, who was now half asleep and now only whimpering a little. Once he was steady on his feet, Jim then made his way back to his bedroom with Brutis following. He lay Rodie onto his bed and carefully undressed him, and covered him up with the bedspread. Jim then looked at Brutis. "Do not get used to this. You understand me." He then motioned him to hop up onto the bed. Brutis jumped up and then quickly settled down beside the now sleeping Rodie. Jim then eased himself out of the room and headed back towards the living room when Marco came out of Eddie's bedroom. "A moment please, Jim. I am not as able as Rodie, but I can sense his troubles. May I ask how he came to be like this, if I am intruding into your privacy I will understand." Marco said to him. Jim paused and evaluated the young man he barely knew for a moment before he answered. "As you probably know, Eddie is my best friend, and my only family. I believe he has made an excellent choice because I can see you are an articulate, well-mannered young man. I liked you the first time I met you almost a year ago Marco. However, I will just give you some advice, if you are not serious in your feelings towards him, then end it now. If you hurt him you will have to deal with me, understand." Jim said a little more forcefully than he intended. "Understood, I would think less of you if you did not feel this way. I can say that my feelings are serious in regards to Eddie. However, if this young man is to be part of this household, then I will need to understand his situation so I may be better able to help if I can." Marco answered honestly and watched as Jim relaxed. "I did not mean to sound over protective Marco, but Eddie is my only family, so it is second nature to look out for his best interests. As for Rodie, he is very troubled right now. I do believe that Eddie and I were able to stop him from having an emotional breakdown. He was viciously beaten and raped by his father, and that has caused him to isolate him self completely over the past year. I think that with our love and friendship that we can heal his emotional wounds. Since you can sense some things from him, if he is ever, approaching that point let either Cathy or me know. I think that once he comes to know you, he will add you to his inner circle of the special people he loves. That is what he needs the most now, love, understanding, and acceptance. With your abilities similar to his own, I think you can provide much more of that than Eddie or I can." Jim explained in a friendly tone as they slowly walked towards the living room. "I see, I will do my best to help in any way I can. I would like to start by cutting off his father's balls myself. I can not see how he could do something like that to such a beautiful child. His own child at that," Marco said passionately. "We all appreciate that Marco, let me also welcome you to the family. However, it may take a little while longer before I am that comfortable with Brutis though. How could you let him bring that beast home?" Jim asked him while shaking his head in disbelief. "Well trust me when I say that Brutis is the most gentle soul in this house. I have no doubt that he will convert you into a believer in no time. As for Eddie, well he spoke truthfully. Brutis won his heart with his first lick, I think that Brutis will help Rodie heal more than all of us combined. Before we join the others, I can sense your love for Rodie. I just want you to know that you have my approval for what ever it is worth." Marco said to Jim as they paused just inside the entrance to the living room. "Thank you Marco, I do love him with all my heart, now lets go join the others." Jim replied with a smile before leading the young man out into the living room to where Cathy and Eddie waited. "What are you doing here?" Cathy asked Jim as he approached. "I left Brutis with Rodie, they are sleeping right now. I was thinking you and Rodie should have the two rooms closest to my room if that is all right with you. As a matter of fact, why don't we transfer your things to them and we can let you choose," Jim explained to her as he sat down again. "That is fine Jim, this is your house so what ever you decide will be fine with me." Cathy told him after she sat down again. "Oh my dear, that will not do. This is to be your home as well as ours, so you had better start acting as if this is your own house." Eddie told her in a nasally voice as he flipped his hands in various directions to indicate his meaning. "In that case I had better go see the room now so you can start removing the furniture. If it is anything like this room, then I definitely have to remodel," Cathy said with a light laugh as Eddie assumed a hurt expression. "I can see that you do not approve of the 'Contemporary Testosterone' theme here. Do not worry, it is a 'guy' thing with all of us men. We are all afflicted with this condition," Marco told her and everyone laughed. He then turned serious and asked Jim, "how long do you think he will sleep Jim?" "I figure at least a few hours, how strong was that Xanax Cathy?" Jim answered. "0.5 mg Jim, so Rodie will be asleep for awhile. The doctor prescribed him 2-mg tablets at first, but Rodie slept for almost two days after I gave him the first one so I had him change the dosage. I still can not understand how Rodie has been able to hold all of this pain and stress inside for so long though," Cathy said as she shook her head in concern. "And still be able to shield it from me." "He was doing what he thought would save his family, only it was slowly killing him the whole time and he just did not know it. Just think Cathy, everything he holds dear to him has been stripped away this last year except you. He was blindsided by the real world's cruelty and numbness to personal pain. Although he was hurting, he still feels that he did something to cause all of this, and because of that, he has hidden this from you because of his fear of losing you also. He is just not old enough to handle these things yet. We had our whole childhood and teen years to learn the coldness that exists in the world, and it still was the most difficult thing for us to deal with when we learned this. Rodie just turned ten last month, and he has been dealing with this for a year now. I am surprised that it took this long for him to come apart. He should have been like this a year ago." Eddie told them after considering what Rodie was thinking. Eddie also saw how Rodie's decisions were paralleling Byron's choices. This only confirmed their deep belief that a child as young as Rodie did not have the emotional maturity to cope with these things. He also saw that without their intervention now with their understanding and love that Rodie would eventually end up taking the same escape route that Byron had taken. "I knew about my abilities since I was a babe, and I knew how much it scared others. My grandmother taught me this when I was barely out of diapers. From what I have gathered, Rodie has gotten his abilities from you Cathy, yet you have not told him anything about these abilities. I can sense his confusion, and sometimes anger at his gifts, this is because he thinks they are responsible for all that has happened to him." Marco explained to her in a clinical voice. "No, I did not tell him about them Marco. I remembered how I never could have close friends because of my secret, and I did not want Rodie to experience that. I just never considered that Chris and Andy would treat him as they did when he confided in them. With his abilities so much stronger than mine are, he not only felt their distrust and fear, but also their growing hatred towards him. They were like brothers in his eyes, and now I can see how deeply it has hurt him with their rejection. I made a lot of mistakes so far, and he is paying the price for them now," Cathy said while tears filled her eyes. "You could not know this Cathy, so do not blame your self now. I think I may know of a way for him to express his emotions so that they do not fester inside him as they do now. I teach Modern Dance, as well as gymnastics to children here. I was quite good myself; an Olympic hopeful, but a knee injury ended my career prematurely. Dance and gymnastics is one of the best ways I have known to express my feelings, and I think this will help him now." Marco explained to the three of them. "I think he is right Cathy, I exercise or swim to release my stress most of the time. Eddie uses acting as his way, he is not this obnoxious all the time normally," Jim said while grinning at Eddie. "I'm hurt, I have tried my best to win all of you over, I really have." Eddie told Cathy with false tears in his eyes. "You will find no sympathy from me, you trickster," Cathy told him. "Nobody understands me anymore," Eddie replied in a mournful tone of voice making them all laugh. "You can see what I mean now Cathy, if you will let me, I would like to enroll Rodie into my classes when you return. I believe this will give him the outlet he needs, while all of us can give him the love and emotional support he needs too." Marco explained and indicating each of them for Rodie's emotional needs. "I will do that then, I will do anything right now to help him get better." Cathy said solemnly. "Ok, now that is settled, why don't we unload things while Jim runs out and gets us something to eat. It is well past lunch time," Eddie told them. They all agreed, so Jim went back and checked on Rodie. Brutis wiggled his tightly curled tail at him when he came in the room. Jim saw that Rodie had draped his arm around the dog, snuggling up close to him as he slept comfortably, however he still whimpered softly. Jim could see that Rodie was just under the surface of consciousness. Jim kissed him lightly and scratched Brutis behind his ears before leaving. He went out to the garage and drove to a nearby restaurant that him and Eddie liked. He ordered Philly steak subs, three-potato salad, fresh Cole slaw, and corn on the cob. Once it was ready, he paid and returned home. He put everything in the kitchen just as Marco came in and told him he would set everything out once Rodie woke up. Jim told him that they should go ahead and eat because he was going to lay down with Rodie and would eat when they got up. Marco agreed and Jim went back into the bedroom and saw that Brutis was no longer on the bed beside Rodie. Jim stepped back out and went into the guestroom where Cathy and Eddie were. "What happened to Brutis?" He asked them. "Oh the poor thing had to go walk, so I let him out into the back yard," Cathy told him. "Ok, Well I am hurting right now so I am going to rest awhile with Rodie, I think we have a storm approaching. Marco is setting out lunch for you. We will eat once we get up then we can hit the road," Jim told them. "Sounds fine to me, I will see you when you get up Jim. Right now, I am having a wonderful discussion with Eddie as to why this phallus statue has to go since this is going to be Rodie's room. At the worst, this thing will give Rodie a false sense of what the size of his should be when he gets older, if he is that big he will be in the Guinness Book of World Records." Cathy explained in an exasperated voice. "He might like it when he gets older for personal pleasure Cathy," Eddie said with a smirk. "Oh no, if Rodie impaled himself on this thing he would rip up the middle to his tits. It goes Eddie and that's final!" Cathy said in a commanding tone of voice. "I will leave you two now, you can work out your differences without me in throwing range," Jim said with a smile to the both of them as he turned and left. He went back into the bedroom and closed the door. He undressed and pulled back the covers from Rodie. Jim paused when he saw Rodie's hard cocklet flexing, and Rodie's face was flushed. Grabbing some tissues from his headboard he sat down carefully and wrapped Rodie's throbbing cocklet in his hand with the tissues, as Rodie's breathing became heavier. He only had to wait for about thirty seconds before Rodie moaned and ejaculated into the tissues as his small body shook from the orgasm. Once he felt Rodie relax and his cocklet start to soften, Jim then gently cleaned him up before taking his medication and slipping into the bed beside Rodie. Rodie scooted over, draping his leg and arm across Jim and resting his head on Jim's chest as always before slipping deeper into sleep now that some of his stress had been relieved. Jim caressed his back and kissed his forehead before going to sleep himself. It was after six p.m. when Jim woke. As he lay there hugging the small figure to him, Jim thought to himself that Rodie must have turned over as he felt the soft hair against his face. Suddenly Jim realized that Rodie was lying on top of him as usual. Opening his eyes, Jim's stare was met by Brutis, who started to lick his face. "What are you doing here you big beast," Jim asked the dog while laughing. "Ok, that's enough you hairy monster!" "He is just trying to tell you that he likes you is all," Rodie said while yawning. He reached over and started scratching Brutis behind his ears, who was still licking Jim's face while his curly tail wiggled. Jim could see that Rodie was still under the effects of the tranquilizer because his eyes were glassy looking. "I think we overslept a bit Rodie, it looks like we won't be going to your old home today." Jim said with a smile as he brushed the damp hair out of Rodie's face. "I can't wake up," Rodie said in a groggy voice while rubbing his eye with the back of his hand. "That is ok, you do not have to if you do not feel like it. I need to pee though," Jim answered him then kissing his nose. Rodie sluggishly slid off him so he could get up. As he sat up Jim could feel the dull aching through out his body. This meant that it was going to rain soon. Ever since the accident, he could predict the weather easily and accurately. Jim stood up slowly and limped into the large bathroom. He lifted the seat and let loose a hot stream of piss into the toilet when Rodie came in his hard cocklet bouncing as he walked. He walked over and leaned against Jim before aiming his pecker down and peeing. Jim saw that the angle Rodie was pointing his penis, he should have been peeing on the raised lid, and instead it was going straight into the middle of the bowl. He figured that his Urethra must have been cut by his father's assault. It must not have healed correctly, or the doctor did not realize how deep the bite was. Jim would make an appointment for him to see Dr. Wise as soon as they got back. He was one of the leading pediatric surgeons in the country, and lived only a mile away. Jim knew that he could fix this problem, and let him know about the other effects Rodie would suffer from his father's cruelty. As they both finished Jim flushed the toilet, then washed his and Rodie's hands and dried them. Rodie started back towards the bedroom, but he stumbled so Jim scooped his light body up into his arms and carried him. Jim sat him down onto the bed before going to the closet and taking out a robe and putting it on. "I am going to get us something cold to drink ok," Jim explained to Rodie who was now lying on his back spread eagle. His hard cocklet was standing up and curving slightly towards his chest. "Can I have a Pepsi Jim, please," Rodie asked in a voice just barely over a whisper. "Sure you can, I will be right back," Jim answered him as he pulled the covers over Rodie's nakedness. He kissed him on the forehead before he straightened up and left the room. Jim saw no one about the house, and saw that the trailer was now parked in front of the separate garage, but Cathy's Jeep was gone. He figured that they had gone out to get dinner or something as he headed for the kitchen. Jim made their drinks and carried them back into the bedroom sitting them down on the end table beside the bed. Rodie sat up and took a long drink out of his before sitting it back down. "Where's mom Jim, did she go out?" He asked as he shook his head trying to clear the cobwebs out. "Yes, Her, Eddie, and Marco went someplace, you hungry?" Jim asked him as he sat on the edge of the bed. "Sort of, but I feel so goofy right now that I do not know if I can eat without getting sick," Rodie answered him as he shook his head again. "I know, why don't we go for a swim in the pool before we eat, that should wake you up." Jim suggested to him. "Ok, but I don't have a swim suit to wear," Rodie answered as he yawned. "We don't need one, you can wear one of my old robes, it will be a little big on you, but it should be fine." Jim told him as he got up and went to the closet taking out a light blue terry cloth robe and handing it to Rodie. Rodie stood up and put on the robe. It reached almost to his feet and just his fingertips were visible from the sleeves. Jim scooped him up where Rodie wrapped his legs and arms around him; he then walked out towards the pool with Brutis following. Jim let Brutis out the back before heading through the living room and Den to the pool. Once there he lowered Rodie to his feet and took of both of their robes off and setting them aside. Jim picked up Rodie and kissed him on the nose before throwing him into the deep water while he squealed. He surfaced just in time for Jim to do a can opener making a large splash. When he surfaced Rodie was there to pounce on him wrapping his arms and legs about him. "No fair! You almost drown me," Rodie exclaimed before he reached between them to adjust his hard pricklet. Jim squeezed Rodie's firm buns as he made his way over to the shallow part of the pool. "Feel better now, my love?" Jim asked him. "Yeah, this feels great Jim. We can swim even in the winter here." Rodie answered as he shook out his long hair. "Hey what happened to the rubber bands I put into your hair this morning," Jim asked the imp in his arms as he watched Rodie's hair fan out around them. "I changed my mind once we got into the car, so I took them out. I like it better if my hair is braided first if I am going to wear a ponytail. But that takes a long time to do though, and mom ties it up so it doesn't hang down too far also." Rodie told him before he kissed him and nuzzled his nose against Jim's now that he was fully awake. They swam for another thirty minutes, Rodie squealed and giggled as Jim chased him around the pool. Jim was closing in on Rodie in the deep end when the imp scrambled out of the water shrieking in laughter when he ran into Eddie. Rodie squeaked out a little "eeek" and covered his semi hard penis with both hands as he doubled over a bit while squeezing his legs closed. He looked at Eddie for a moment before straightening up and letting his hands fall to his sides as he stepped back letting Eddie see him in his naked glory. Eddie looked over his gorgeous naked body, but he also saw the serious look of anticipation on Rodie's face. Rodie stood there holding his breath as he waited on Eddie's judgement, he watched as Eddie's eyes scanned his naked body lingering over his limp penis before returning to his face. "You are truly beautiful Rodie," Eddie said after looking at him from head to toe. Rodie blushed prettily, but his face shone letting Eddie know that he loved the compliment about his body. "Am I really Eddie?" Rodie asked in a squeaking voice. Eddie knelt in front of him and pulled him close by his small waist. He then kissed Rodie on the lips lightly and looked into his multi-colored eyes. "Yes, very beautiful, and don't ever believe anything different. You do not ever have to be ashamed of your body Rodie. Because it is perfect," Eddie answered with a dead serious look on his face. Rodie hugged him as tears started to trickle down his cheeks. "Thanks Eddie, I love you." Rodie whispered into his ear. "I love you too, surf boy," Eddie said to him. He then wiped away Rodie's sudden tears and kissed him on the forehead. "Even if you are mooning Jim right now!" Eddie added then sticking out his tongue while making a silly face at him. He stood up then and watched Jim climb out of the shallow water by the adjoining hot tub and dry himself with a towel before putting on his robe. Jim then carried a towel over to Rodie and had his robe draped over his arm before he spoke to Eddie. "Where did you all disappear to?" Jim asked his long time friend. "We figured that Rodie would not wake up until it was too late to go today, so we went and got some pizzas and a few movies. I hope you like Austin Powers and Scary Movie 2, surf boy." Eddie said as he helped Rodie dry his hair. "Umm, I don't know if I am allowed to watch Scary Movie 2. Mom would not let me watch the first one, but I saw the first Austin Powers movie," Rodie answered him as he put on the oversized robe. "Right now I don't care about movies, cause I am really hungry, and I love pizza." "We also have steak subs from lunch that we didn't eat too," Jim told him and watching Rodie smile big and nod his head. "Let's go get dressed while Eddie and the others get dinner set out. Eddie could you heat the subs up for us also?" "Sure thing Bro, I will see you in a few then," Eddie told them before turning and walking back into the house. "Where is the Gym, I did not see that this morning," Rodie asked Jim after Eddie left. "It is just through the bathroom over here. It has a large shower in it also. Come on and I will show you," Jim told him as he ushered him towards the door. He led him through the bathroom, and into a large room, that had two life cycles, stair climber, treadmill, a weight bench with free weights, and four specialized weight machines. The far wall at the end of the room was completely covered with mirrors with about a third of the room open and covered with floor mats. "Wow! This is so kewl, you will have to show how to use all of these Jim," Rodie exclaimed in wonder. "You bet surf boy, you will look like a Greek Adonis by the time you are a teenager," Jim told him as he stood behind him with his hands on Rodie's slim shoulders. Just then, Marco walked in from the kitchen. "This is also an excellent room to practice Rodie," he said as he walked up to the young boy. "Practice? Practice what Marco?" Rodie asked him with an innocent expression on his face. "Modern dance and gymnastics, I teach them both, and I thought it would be good for you to learn, if you want to," Marco told him as he knelt down and looked him in the face. They all knew that kids would respond better and be more open if they were on their level instead of towering over them. "What is that Marco?" Rodie asked looking into his eyes. "Modern dance covers all dancing that is not strictly ballet, classical, ballroom, or tap. Those are covered to give you the general idea of the style, but it is not completely devoted to them. While Gymnastics are tumbling, jumps, and flips using various kinds of equipment." Marco explained making sure Rodie understood what he was describing. "Yeah, I saw girls and boys doing that stuff on TV, you can teach me to do that?" Rodie asked him still showing his youthful innocence. "If you like me to, it is a lot of hard work to learn, but it is also very fun to do when you perform," Marco answered as he absently brushed that stray lock of hair out of Rodie's face. It always managed to slip down beside his left eye, partially hiding it. Therefore, everyone always brushed it aside automatically so they could see those big beautiful multi-colored eyes Rodie had. "Sure Marco, I'd love to learn that if you will teach me," Rodie said softly to him. Rodie brow creased as he tilted his head slightly while searching Marco's eyes. His eyes softened as Marco stared back hiding nothing from Rodie's talents. "I would love to teach you Rodie, and you will be wonderful at it because you are a wonderful person," Marco told him with a gentle smile. Rodie hesitated for just a moment as he made his decision about the young man in front of him. He then reached out, hugged him tightly, and kissed him lightly on the lips then rubbing his small nose against Marco's as he smiled at him. Rodie then scampered out of the room to find his mother while Jim stood there smiling at Marco. "You were just inducted into a very special club Marco," Jim told him as Marco stood; he looked at Jim with a confused expression. Jim said, "Rodie kisses only the people he loves and trusts the most like that. I told you that he would decide when to include you in his inner circle, and it looks like he has made that decision now." "I am honored by his trust Jim, I will not let him down," Marco said as they walked into the kitchen. "We all are Marco, but we just have to be careful not to break his trust. He has somehow managed to hold onto his faith in the people who he loves. His faith has been abused though by his father and former friends, so he has been questioning that faith. It is our job now to restore his faith in us by showing him that we will cherish it. So do not make a promise to him you do not intend to fulfill," Jim explained to him while Marco shook his head in agreement. They went out into the living room where Rodie was sitting in his mother's lap facing her. They watched him as he mouthed 'I love you' to her before kissing her and rubbing his small nose against hers as they smiled. She then whispered something into his ear, and Rodie looked down at the open front of his robe exposing his nakedness and squeaked out a tiny 'eeek'. He then blushed and closed the robe quickly. Cathy then eased him out of her lap and sent him off to change with a pinch on his pert butt making him squeal with giggles. Jim excused himself and followed Rodie back into the bedroom where they quickly dressed. Jim then blow dried Rodie's hair while brushing it out, Rodie kissed him again once he was finished. Jim then led him out to the living room and suggested they all eat since Rodie was drooling. Rodie gave him a fierce look before following him into the dining room and sitting beside him. Jim noticed that all of the lunch he bought was placed out on the table, the others must not have eaten. "You all did not eat lunch?" He asked them. "We were not that hungry really, so Marco whipped up a few omelets for us," Eddie replied as he took a half of sub before passing the platter to Marco. Jim asked Rodie what kind of pizza he wanted, then handing him a slice from the supreme pizza. He took one from the meat lover's pizza, just as Rodie took the smallest portion of sub and handing the platter to him. Once they had helped themselves to everything, they paused while Rodie said a prayer. "Thank you Lord for this meal, and thank you for bringing Jim, Eddie, and Marco to me in my time of need. Amen." Rodie said in a very soft voice then blushing as he looked around the table sheepishly when he finished. Eddie quickly added to Rodie's prayer, "Thank you Lord for sending this beautiful angel to us in our time of need also. Amen." Everyone said 'Amen' together, then Cathy told them to eat before it got cold. It started slow, but soon they were all making jokes at each other, or about the amount of food Rodie inhaled. Marco kindly pointed out that Rodie was young, and that boys expend twice as much energy as adults so they needed to eat more. Rodie smiled appreciatively at is new friend while reaching for his third slice of pizza. They all finished their meals, and Rodie helped Marco clear the table and returned with 5 cups placing them in front of each place. Marco then came in carrying a thermal carafe full of coffee along with cream and sugar. He then went around the table filling each of their cups before sitting down beside Eddie with his own coffee. They all took a drink except for Rodie; Jim looked over at him with concern before speaking. "What is the matter Rodie?" He asked him. "Umm, I don't know if I should drink this is all. Mom has always said that it keeps me up and gives me bad dreams when I drink it this late." He said quietly looking first at Jim, then to his mother. "It is ok honey, that was before I knew what was causing the bad dreams. Anyway, I am almost positive you, and Jim can find something to do if you can not sleep," Cathy said with a knowing smile on her face. "Mom! We aren't that loud are we?" Rodie asked while blushing deep red. "Well, I have only heard you so far, but I do not think that you are tickling yourself in order to make all those giggles and squeals." Cathy said looking at Jim this time while he blushed making Rodie giggle. "See, I told you he was the horny one," Rodie piped as he giggled while pointing at Jim. "Now wait just a minute you 'Horn Dawg', you are just as guilty as I am in this," Jim said while wagging his finger at Rodie. Rodie was putting on his best 'I am so innocent' look while Jim was speaking. "Just drink your coffee, or I will tell them what I did to make you squeal like that." Jim thought silently to the imp seated next to him. "You better not!" Rodie thought back with an alarmed expression on his face. Jim leaned over and kissed his nose just then letting him know he was only joking. Rodie relaxed a little and took a drink of his coffee before breaking out into giggles again. They finished their coffee and moved on into the den where they all took seats as Eddie put the DVDs into the player. "Oh Cathy, Rodie was concerned that you would not let him watch Scary Movie 2, is it ok for him to see it?" Eddie asked while Rodie watched anxiously as he snuggled against Jim in his lap. "Well I would normally say no, but I do not think there is anything in it that he does not already know about. So yes he can watch it," Cathy said as Rodie silently said "Thanks Mom" to her. They laughed until their sides hurt as they watched the movies, only taking a couple of breaks to use the bathroom. Despite the coffee he drank, Rodie fell asleep halfway through Austin Powers: The Spy who shagged me. When it was over it was after midnight; Jim had Marco assist him up with Rodie in his arms. He told them all 'Goodnight', and carried him back into his bedroom. Laying Rodie gently, down on the bed Jim undressed him, while Rodie only whimpered a couple of times. Once Rodie was undressed, Jim undressed, took his medication, then eased himself into the bed next to Rodie. He was just about to turn out the light when he heard a scratching at the door then a pitiful whimper. Rodie stirred, and opened his eyes looking at Jim sleepily. "Can he sleep in here tonight Jim, please?" Rodie mumbled softly to him. "Sure he can, my love. I think he is looking for you anyway. Your new room is where his bed is," Jim answered as he kissed Rodie on the nose. Jim got out of bed and let Brutis inside. Getting back into bed while Rodie assumed his normal sleeping position, Jim signaled Brutis to get up on the bed. Brutis jumped up, came over, and nuzzled Rodie who giggled. After Rodie scratched his head behind the ears, Brutis then circled a few times before plopping down on the opposite side of Rodie. He curled himself up nose to curly tail and closed his eyes. Jim gave Rodie another kiss before turning out the light and drifting off to sleep himself. End Chapter 8. Comments welcomed, flames will be ignored.
