I apologize for the many typos in chapter one. I speak very good English even though I am not good at spelling. Sorry about that. I hope that you can enjoy it. THE WAGER chapter 2 After a long journey in the limo over the East River and out to Long Island the newly named Jonathon Throckmorton and son arrived at their new home. Little "Johny" was wide eyed when he saw the place. After coming up a long, circular tree lined drive they pulled up in front of what appeared to be a mansion with a white columned portico. A man dressed in a black suit with a vest came out of the house and greeted them as Rodney opened their door. "Welcome to the Sea View Estate. It is a pleasure to have you here. I am David and I will be at your service while you are here. If you need anything just ask. I will be glad to answer any of your questions while I give you a tour of your new home." "Excuse me sir," asked Johny, " but would you please wake me up. I think that I am dreaming." Jonathon gave his son a friendly punch in the arm. Johny said "ouch" but with a chuckle. In the spacious dining room they met Mary the housekeeper and two- that's right- two maids, the cook and her helper. After that they were shown the rest of the mansion including the large screen video room with Bose surround sound speakers and luxurious chairs. This was followed, to Johny's delight, by the large, heated, indoor swimming pool. Then they went upstairs and were shown the master bedroom with its King sized bed and walk in wardrobe. Directly across the hall was Johny's own room with two queen sized beds that had New York Mets team bedspreads, wall posters of the Mets, Knicks and Rangers and on top of the table next to Johny's bed their was a baseball. Johny sat- or rather jumped- on the bed and picked up the ball. It was signed by the whole Mets team. "Is everything satisfactory young master?" David asked but he didn't have to. The smile on Johny's face said it all. Never the less, with a sly smile the boy replied. "What about the Nets/ Next year they're moving to Brooklyn. I can hardly wait." then with a giggle he added, I am joking." Of course all of the servants had been told that upstairs was out of bounds except for cleaning when the masters were not home. Later that night after watching a video movie the two tired Jonathons repaired to their rooms but little Johny did not stay in his own room for long. After stripping down to his new white briefs he crossed the hall to his daddy's room. After all neither of them was about to sleep alone. Johny entered Jonathon's room and with a giggle closed the door. Then in a very seductive manor he removed his briefs. Then he ran and jumped into the man's arms. Their two naked bodies were mashing together as they had a long wet kiss. Jonathon next carried the boy to his bed, put him under the covers and then crawled in beside him. Johny purred contentedly as Jonathon made mad love to him. That didn't last long after such a tiring day. They soon fell asleep in each others arms. The next morning, while his dad was still sleeping, a freshly dressed Johny went down stairs. Upon entering the dining room he found a severe looking gray haired woman sitting there. "Well now yong man," she barked, "You must be Jonathon Throckmorton Jr.! Come over here and let me have a look at you. Don't worry I won't bite you- not yet at least." Then she put on a small smile. "Allow me to introduce you to myself. My name is Alelia Vanderkill. Miss Adelia to you for now I think!" "I am happy to meet you Miss Adelia replied a not too happy looking boy politely. Looking him up and down Miss Adelia said, "You will do young man." then relaxing a bit she added, "I am here to teach you manners- especially table manners. Can you tell me the difference between a tea spoon and a cocktail spoon?" Johny looked at the array of silverware the woman had laid out on the table before her. Without hesitation Johny picked up the right spoon. Miss Adelia raised and eyebrow just slightly. "I am impressed. Where did you learn that?" she asked. "My parents died when I was eight. They raised me properly, taught me proper English and what they called etiquette." "Oh I see. I am sorry to hear about your parents. They must have loved you very much. I see my sly brother has thrown a ringer in the mix. You will be a delightful pupil. Don't let my looks put you off. Perhaps we can have some fun along the way." Then she took the boy by the hand and led him to the other end of the table where two place settings had been laid down. The lesson began with her teaching the lad the proper way to sit in front of a formal setting. She then rang a bell on the side board and breakfast was served. When Jonathon finally arrived Miss Adelia chastised him for being late much to Johny's amusement. After breakfast Miss adelia said good-bye and took her leave but Johny still didn't have time to relax because it was just then that his Tutor Thomas arrived. By lunch time Johny was already getting tired but the thought a a free afternoon revived him. While Jonathon was looking after business matters- after all he was learning how to be a computer corporate executive and it all was totally new to him- Johny headed straight for the pool. He knew that he was not supposed to go there alone but he couldn't resist. After all the ten year old had been virtually on his own for some time. He raced into the pool room, closed the door and started stripping. Thinking that no one would bother him there he wasn't worried about the fact that he had no swim shorts. He just stripped down nude and dove in. He was having such a good time by himself that he hardly noticed the time but he happened to just glance at the clock and noticed that it was almost time for Mr. Vanderkill to arrive. He quickly jumped out of the pool, dried himself off and forsaking the shower he knew that he needed to take, dressed himself and headed back toward that living room. There he found Jonathon reading a book. Jonathon looked up and beckoned him over. "You have been swimming in the pool by yourself even after you were asked not to do that. Shame on you. I don't know what I would have done if anything happened to you. Go dry your hair. Mr. Vanderkill should be here any moment. Just than David came in the room and announced, "Mr. Vanderkill is here to see you sir. He has someone with him." Mr. Vanderkill came into the room holding the hand of a frightened looking small boy who looked to be about seven years old. As soon as the boy saw Johny his eyes lit up and he shouted, "Freddy!" and ran across the room throwing his arms around Johny's neck and breaking into sobs. Johny held the boy to him and whispered in his ear, "It's Johny now. I am not Freddy any more. Hey, Joey it's good to see you!" Then he noticed that Joey winced when he held him to tightly. Johny drew back and looked at his little friend. What he saw was a boy who had been bruised and battered. Johny's first reaction was a desire to vomit. His second was one of anger! "Joey, who did this to you?" Mr. Vanderkill spoke up. "Don't worry johny, It has already been taken care of. Now you have to take care of your little friend and we will help you. He'll be seeing the best physicians in the City and with a little TLC and proper rest he will be fine. I am afraid he was a little scared on the way here because he didn't know where I was taking him. You are a surprise. He has been asking about you for days. Joey, this is your new home and Freddy who is now Johny is now your new brother and this is your new daddy. Mr. Throckmorton I would like you to meet Joey your adopted son. We will explain more to him when he is settled in. Johny, why don't you show your brother to your room?" "All right, Mr. Vanderkill and thank you. This is great! Come on Joey and I will show you to our room. Then I will show you the indoor swimming pool. Now I have someone to swim with. This is great! You do know how to swim don't you?" "Nodding his head Joey asked excitedly, "You mean we have a swimming pool/ Wow!' "And that's not all, wait to you see this place but it's not all fun. We will also have to learn how to be gentlemen And we will have to learn about Buffalo. That's where we supposedly came from." "Buffalo? what is Buffalo?" "Buffalo is a city upstate." "Oh!" The two boys headed upstairs not realizing that a great adventure had begun.
