Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 01:27:51 -0800 From: Donald Orluck Subject: Jason--A Love Story Chapter 12 Jason---A Love Story Chapter 12. Part 1. From Chapter 11. I waited for Paul to finish, and then we both skipped down the steps to our prospective boyfriends. Jason and Tom giggled, "Bout' time you two." Paul and I just laughed, as I answered, "Paul was just helping me focus on things. Let's hit the road, cause I gotta ex to boot outta my life, and the sooner that's finished, the better." Jason pulled me into a hug and a quick kiss, and then the four of us grabbed our luggage and stepped out the door, turning one last time to look at the wonderful castle we had enjoyed while in DC. And now on with the story... The sun was bright and the temperature was pushing ninety degrees as we proceeded to the car. Jason smiled, "Top up or down Don?" We both giggled as I answered, "Silly question. Down of course." Paul whispered to Tom, "Aren't Don and Jason so cute, the way they play back and forth?" Tom whispered, "Yep. I love seeing Don so happy. I am so amazed at the changes Jason has brought to Don's life." I looked over at Paul and Tom, and laughed, "What ya doin'? Talkin about me again!!" Tom and Paul giggled, "Just makin' an observation." Jason giggled, "Ok boys, let's get movin'!" Tom and Paul climbed into the backseat of the car, and then Jason and I took our seats, and a moment later we were on our way back home. Traffic was light so we made good time leaving DC. Soon we were south of the city, flying along at a comfortable speed, as the fields and forests passed quickly before our eyes. Tom and Paul were soon sleeping, their heads leaning against each other's shoulders. Jason occasionally smiled over at me as I looked upon him with wonder and amazement. I was lost in my thoughts and love for him as I drifted back over the last few days and all the great moments we had shared together. Jason giggled, "Don, you're doing it again. Where is this far away place that you keep going too?" I laughed, "I'm just dreaming in Don and Jason land again. I love you so much Jason." Jason smiled, "I love you too, babe, and I love hearing you say the same, so never stop, ok!" I smiled at Jason, feeling the happiest I could ever remember in my entire life. I reached for my book bag and removed a pad of paper and pen from it. After placing the bag on the floor, I began to stare off into space and then began to write, as Jason continued to guide the car towards home. About two hours later Jason pulled off the highway into a rest area. Tom and Paul woke as the car stopped. Jason announced "Bathroom break guys. Let's meet back in twenty minutes, cause I wanna take a walk with my boyfriend." I tore off the page I was writing on from my pad and placed it in my pocket as we made our way to the bathroom. After freshening up, Jason and I walked towards the wooded area where we found a park bench away from the view of the other motorists. We sat down and Jason pulled me close, and then gave me a passionate kiss. When the kiss broke I smiled at Jason. "This has been the most wonderful time of my life Jason. Thank you so much." Jason smiled, "Me too, Don. But it's just the beginning babe. There will be lots of great times ahead for us. So, what were you writing back there in the car?" I blushed as I pulled the folded paper from my pocket. "Just trying to remember the words to a song that Sarah Brightman sings, that describe how I feel about you." Jason smiled, "So do I get to hear the words, or do I have to wait till we get home to hear Sarah sing them." I giggled shyly, "I think I remembered them all, but you'll have to listen to Sarah later to get a greater sense of the beauty and emotion that belong to this song. Its called "Unexpected Song" from one of Webber's musicals." "I have never felt like this, For once I'm lost for words, Your smile has really thrown me, This is not like me at all, I never thought I'd know, The kind of love you've shown me. Now, no matter where I am, No matter what I do, I see your face appearing, Like an unexpected song. An unexpected song, That only we are hearing. I don't know what is going on, Can't work it out at all. Whatever made you choose me, I just can't believe my eyes, You look at me as though, You couldn't bear to lose me. Now, no matter where I am, No matter what I do, I see your face appearing, Like an unexpected song. An unexpected song, That only we are hearing. I have never felt like this, For once I'm lost for words, Your smile has really thrown me, This is not like me at all, I never thought I'd know, The kind of love you've shown me. Now, no matter where I am, No matter what I do, I see your face appearing, Like an unexpected song, An unexpected song, That only we are hearing, Like an unexpected song. An unexpected song, That only we are hearing." Tom and Paul had walked up as I was reading to Jason, and as I finished I noticed they both had tears rolling down their cheeks. I turned to Jason, who also had teary eyes, and he quivered, "I don't think I need to hear Sarah sing that to comprehend the feeling Don. That was so sweet. I love you babe." I smiled at Jason, "Love you too." Jason and I stood from the bench and he hugged me, as Paul and Tom looked on through their tears. Paul whispered to Tom, "Babe, no matter what, we have to stop Sam. Don and Jason are so perfect together, and I am not going to let that ass hole do anything to disrupt what they have." Tom quietly answered, "I'll be right there with you Paul. Sam's fucking history." Jason took my hand and we walked over to Tom and Paul. Jason stated, "We'd better get moving again boys. I want to get home well before Mike arrives, so Don and I can have some quality time together. Paul and Tom giggled, and then we moseyed on back to the car. Soon we were back on the expressway, and an hour and one-half later we pulled into Tom and Paul's driveway. As we climbed out of the car, Robert came bursting through the door from inside the house. Robert jumped off the porch and briskly bounded towards us. Robert threw his arms around me and pulled me into a tight hug, and stated, "Welcome back Don." I hugged Robert back, and then he broke from me and hugged Jason, whispering in his ear, "Thanks for taking care of my friend. I won't ever forget this Jason." Jason smiled, "It was my pleasure, and its good to see you again Robert." Robert moved to Tom and Paul and pulled them both into a big hug, and whispered, "Is Don doing ok?" Paul and Tom both smiled, "Better than ok Robert." I could hear a whimpering coming from the privacy fence, so I grabbed Jason's hand and we ran to the gate. As we opened the gate, Brandon began to bark, and then he jumped into my arms. I laughed, "Did my puppa dog miss me?" Brandon began to lick my face and squirmed so he was resting his front paws across my shoulders. Jason and I burst out laughing as we surveyed the yard behind Tom and Paul's house. There were hundreds of small holes dug everywhere and not a weed remained growing from the ground. Jason laughed, "Tom and Paul were right. They won't have to do any weed pulling now." Tom, Paul, and Robert joined us at the fence and we all laughed heartily as Brandon furiously wagged his tail, obviously proud of the job he had done. I placed Brandon back on the ground and then we all made our way to the car, and Paul and Tom removed their luggage, while Brandon jumped back and forth between the front and back seats. Jason giggled, "I take it Brandon likes my car?" I giggled, "I guess so, and Brandon doesn't usually like cars." We all laughed, then I picked Brandon up and the five us trounced over to the porch. When I sat Brandon on the ground he made a beeline for the nearest tree and watered it before running back to the porch. I told Jason, "I gotta use the bathroom. I'll be right back babe." I wandered into the house, and after I entered the door Robert asked, "Jason, is Don ready for all this?" Jason replied seriously, "Yes, I think he is Robert. That's the main reason we came back early, so we could be prepared." I returned to the porch and took my place next to Jason, wrapping my arms around his strong waist. I began, "Ok guys, I want you all to stop worrying about me. I'm not gonna fall apart anymore. I have Jason here to help keep me strong, along with you three. Robert, can you reach your attorney friend and have him meet us at 9am tomorrow at the court house?" Robert answered, "It's already taken care of. I talked to him this morning and he has you scheduled for an appointment with Judge Stevens for 9:30, but he will meet you there at 9am." I continued, "Kewl. Tom, is my journal and all the tapes of Sam here?" Tom answered, "Yep, they're all in the house." I continued, following a quick kiss from Jason, "Good, can you bring them so I don't have to worry about lugging them around?" Paul interjected, "I'll bring them. Tom's gonna have to go into the store in the morning, since he has been lazy and not worked all week." Jason and I giggled, then I continued, "Ok, that sounds good, and after you drop them off, you're going to work Paul. You have a restaurant to look after." Paul interrupted, "But I think..." I interjected, "No buts, Paul. You have missed work too, so no arguments. Let the lawyers do their thing in the morning. I want you guys available in the afternoon, if and when Sam shows up. Jason, babe, when is Mike going to arrive?" Robert interjected, "Who's Mike?" Jason began, "Mike will be at my place around 7pm tonight. Robert, Mike is a friend of mine who just happens to work for the FBI. He will be here to help us out, and he will need your assistance with making contact with city and police officials if necessary. Robert, I told him you would be glad to work with him. I hope you don't mind?" Robert beamed, "Not at all. He really works for the FBI. This will be kewl." I interjected, "Hey Robert, he is single, and I heard, real cute too." Jason, Tom, and Paul all laughed as Robert blushed. I continued, "Ok guys, I need some time alone with my boyfriend and Brandon, so we're gonna split. Can you guys stop by Jason's around 8pm tonight?" Robert beamed, "I'll be there." Tom and Paul laughed, "Down boy! We'll be there and bring the pizza." Jason giggled, "Ok, guys, you know how to find my place?" Tom replied, "Yep, I still have the address you gave me Jason. We'll see you about 8pm. Go take care of your boyfriend." We all laughed. I hollered, "Brandon, lets go for a ride." Brandon took off like a bullet for the car, jumping completely over the door into the back seat. Jason and I wandered back to the car, took our seats, and waved as we pulled back out onto the street. Brandon was hanging half out of the car as we pulled away, wagging his tale while his tongue hung out taking in all the air as we made our way to Jason's house. I managed to maintain my strong stance until we arrived at Jason's apartment. After Brandon watered all the trees, Jason and I climbed to the third floor and entered his apartment. As soon as the door closed behind us I started sobbing. Jason instantly took my hand and led me to the couch, while Brandon went to check out his temporary new home. Jason and I sat on the couch and I laid my head on his shoulder, while the tears continued to flow from my eyes. Jason held me close while he gently caressed my back and head with his soft hands. I quivered, "Jason, I can't keep this strong façade up for much longer around everyone. I know Sam, and I am worried." Jason soothed, "Don't worry about crying with me. Just let it all out. We'll be strong together in front of the others, but with me you just let it all go." Soon the tears slowed and I looked at Jason's angelic face. "I love you Jason." Jason smiled as he gently took my head in his hands, bringing my face to his, as he leaned in and kissed me. "I love you Don. Lets go rest for a bit before Mike gets here." Jason led me to his bedroom, and we both laughed as we looked upon Brandon, laying on his back, spread eagled in the middle of Jason's bed. Jason giggled, "Ok Brandon the Dog, out. This is mine and Don's bed." Brandon sat up and gave his famous sad puppy dog eyes look, but I looked back and stated, "Now Brandon." Brandon jumped off the bed and slowly walked to the door. He looked back at Jason and me and then gave a mischievous dog smile as he bounded down the hallway towards the living room. Jason picked me up and carried me to the bed, and carefully placed me in the center, before climbing on top of me. I pulled Jason tight against me, and began to kiss him, while my hands ran across his back. Jason slid next to me as we continued to kiss and caress each other. After a few minutes of kissing and cuddling, I rested my head on Jason's strong chest, listening to the beating of his heart, while his hands played with my hair. Soon we fell into a restful sleep in each other's arms. Jason and I were suddenly awakened by loud barking noises coming from the living room. We heard the ringing of the doorbell as Jason looked up at the clock. "Shit, Don, that must be Mike. It's after 7pm." We quickly jumped out of the bed and briskly walked down the hallway towards the door. Brandon was barking incessantly as I yelled, "Quiet Brandon." He ignored me as usual and continued barking until I scooped him up in my arms while Jason unlocked and opened the door. In the doorway stood a very handsome man, just over six-foot tall, with auburn hair and classic Italian good looks. I thought to myself, "Robert is gonna creme his jeans when he sees this man." Jason stated, "Hey Mike, come on in." Mike entered the room. Jason crooned, "Mike, I'd like you to meet Don. Don this is Mike." We shook hands as Mike spoke in a strong voice, "Good to meet you Don. And who is this little fellow trying to get my attention." I giggled, "It's great to meet you Mike. This is Brandon the Dog." Mike leaned down and Brandon began to jump up and down as Mike tried to pet him. I laughed, "You've just made a new friend for life Mike. Brandon is an attention freak." Mike laughed heartily, "He sure is a cute dog. A mix of cocker spaniel and lab I'd say." Jason and I both snickered, "Great guess Mike." Mike giggled, "My grandfather had a dog that looks just like Brandon, and he was that mix." We moved into the living room and Mike sat in the recliner as Jason and I made ourselves comfortable on the couch. Brandon made himself comfortable in Mike's lap. Jason questioned, "So how have you been Mike, and how's the family doing?" Mike beamed, "The family is great. Sis is gonna have a baby towards the end of the year. I've been busy as hell with all these school tragedies. But I'm on vacation for the next month so things should be a bit quieter. So how have you been Jason, besides busy snagging this cute man sitting next to you." I turned beet red as Jason giggled, "Been good Mike. My clientele is growing by leaps and bounds. Don sure is a babe, isn't he." I shyly giggled, "Jason!!" Mike and Jason both laughed, then Jason continued, "I'm just stating the truth so hush babe." I hugged Jason, and he gave me a quick kiss. Mike laughed, "Young love. Ain't it grand? So, when do I get to meet this Robert." I quickly interjected, "He should be here around 8pm, along with Tom and Paul." Mike interjected, "Let's see, Tom's the one I spoke to the other day with you, Jason, right?" Jason replied, "Yep, and Paul is his lover." Mike continued, "Kewl. Tom seemed like a very nice guy on the phone." Jason continued, "They all are Mike. Very dedicated friends to Don." I interjected, "Robert is really excited about working with you Mike, and let me say, thank you, for coming to help me out." Mike replied, "You don't even have to thank me, Don. My family owes Jason so much for his help with Sis's wedding, that this is the least I can do. Besides ass hole ex's need to be dealt with, and from what Jason and Tom have told me, yours has been putting you through living hell." Tears came to my eyes, and Jason pulled me close. Mike continued, "Don't worry Don. We'll deal with this Sam character, so you just concentrate on Jason there, and be good to him. That will be all the thanks that I will need." I mouthed, "Thank you, to Mike as a few tears rolled down my cheeks." Mike continued, "So Don, tell me more about Robert." I began, "Robert's a really great guy. He works for the paper as the vice-president of information systems. He is a computer whiz, knows everyone who's anyone in this town, and is very involved in gay rights issues. Let's see, he is African American, very handsome, single and available." Mike beamed, "Sounds like a great guy Don." Just then the doorbell rang, and I heard Paul yelling, "Pizza delivery for the lovebirds." Jason and I laughed, "Mike they're here." Jason quickly went to the door while Mike held onto Brandon. Opening the door, Jason giggled, "Hey pizza boy, do you really deliver?" We all started laughing as Paul, Tom, and Robert entered the apartment, each holding a pizza box. Jason took the pizza boxes as the others entered, then continued, "Don, introduce the guys to Mike while I get our dinner situated. I began, "Mike this is Tom, his lover Paul, and this is Robert. Guys, meet Mike." Mike shook hands with each of the guys, holding Roberts for an extra few brief seconds, replying, "It's great to meet you guys." I could tell by the looks back and forth from Robert and Mike that this was going to indeed be more than just a working relationship between them. This made me smile, and Jason noticed, and quickly winked at me. I went to help Jason as the four men went back to the living room. Paul spoke first, quietly, "Mike, we all want to thank you for coming to help Don. He means more to us than you could ever imagine." Then Tom interjected, "Yes Mike, we really appreciate this." Robert them commented, "Anything that I can do to help you out with this Mike, please just let me know. This Sam need to regret the day he ever messed with our friend." Mike was amazed at the heartfelt feeling of my friends, as he replied, "No problem guys. I'm glad to help. I owe Jason a lot, and seeing your dedication to Don just makes the issue of dealing with Sam even more important." Jason and I came back to the living room and stated, "Dinner is served." The six of us took seats at the table and began to devour the pizza, bantering back and forth as we ate. Jason and I noticed Robert and Mike taking brief glances at each other throughout the meal. I whispered to Jason, "I think we have a love connection in the works here." Jason giggled, "Looks that way Don." Soon we finished the food and Tom offered to help Jason with the dishes. Jason suggested, "Why don't you and Paul fill Mike in a little about Sam while Tom and I clean up in here. If you need us just holler." I nodded in agreement to Jason, and Paul, Robert, Mike, and I returned to the living area to talk. Tom commented, "Jason, I think Robert is gonna really like Mike. Did you notice them checking each other out throughout dinner?" Jason giggled, "Don and I were thinking the same thing Tom. It would be nice. Mike really deserves to meet a nice guy, and I think Robert, with his civic background would understand the life Mike leads. I really hope they do hit it off." Tom nodded in agreement as they continued to clean up from dinner. Mike smiled at me as he began; "I know some of the story with Sam, but fill me in on some details Don." I commented, "Sam is a control freak Mike. That's the bottom line. Everything he has done thus far is due to me finally breaking the control he once had. The situation has just escalated from nasty calls and notes to threats of dragging me back to New York, and from what Paul told me, in the last few calls he was threatening physical abuse against me, Paul, Tom, and anyone that got in his way." Paul interjected, "I talked to Sam on the phone when I was at Don's earlier this week, and so did Tom. He is evil and a lunatic, and was threatening to kick our asses, and hurt Don if he didn't go back with him." Robert commented, "I've talked with my attorney, and while he thinks we can get a restraining order against Sam, he doesn't feel it would phase him. My attorney has a lot of experience in abuse cases, so he suggested, off the record, that we deal with Sam by other means if possible." I interjected, "Mike, I am going to meet with Robert's attorney and Judge Stevens tomorrow morning to get the restraining order, but that is all I can really do at this point through the legal system." Mike listened intently as we all spoke, each of us adding bits and pieces to the story. Jason and Tom returned to join us, and Tom commented, "Mike, I just want this ass hole removed from Don's life by any means possible. While we all want to do this legally if possible, if we have to take other means, I don't think any of us will mind chancing the consequences." Jason interjected, "Mike, you have known me for a long time. I don't believe in violence, normally. But this ass hole Sam is threatening the person I love more than anything on this earth. Whatever it takes to utterly destroy Sam is fair game in this case. I will not allow him to harm Don ever again. We would all like to resolve this problem without anyone getting hurt, but we won't hesitate to resort to whatever means necessary to protect Don and remove Sam from the face of the earth if necessary." Mike asked, "Don, when is Sam claiming to arrive here, and does he know about you and Jason yet?" Paul interjected, "The last tape we heard said something about arriving tomorrow after 5pm, I think. When Tom and I talked to that idiot, we told him he had been replaced, but never mentioned Jason." Mike giggled, "I'm glad you didn't mention Jason's name. I like your style though, telling him he had been 'replaced' was a great way to get the point across." I giggled inside, trying to picture the look on Sam's face upon hearing that he was replaced. Mike continued, "This is what we will do, at least to begin with. Jason, I don't want you to let Don out of your sight for a minute." Jason interrupted, "That won't be a problem." We all laughed before Mike continued. "I think Don should stay here until this is resolved." Jason again interrupted, "We already discussed that Mike. Don and Brandon will stay with me here as long as is necessary, maybe longer!" Jason hugged me as everyone said a collective, "AWE!!!!" Mike then continued, "Good. Tomorrow, after you meet with the judge you should go to Don's and gather up whatever you need at least for a few days. After that don't go back unless I am there with you. I will try to meet you at Don's around 1pm. Robert, can you and I meet for breakfast? I'll need a contact within the police department just in case we need their help, which it sounds like we may need." Robert beamed, "Not a problem. I already took the day off so I am available the entire day." Mike smiled at Robert, "Great. Tom, I understand you have the tapes of Sam. I know it means a late night, but could I stop by your place tonight to hear them?" Tom replied, "No problem. Hey why don't you just stay with Paul and I while you are here? We have plenty of room at the house." Paul interrupted, "Yeah Mike. We have two spare bedrooms, so stay with us instead of the hotel." Mike smiled, "That would be great. I get tired of staying in hotels all the time. Ok guys, that should do for now. Don, we are gonna have to play this by ear since we don't know for sure what Sam is gonna do. I wish I could be more specific, but I don't want to plan in the wrong direction for this. It is better to be prepared for anything rather than a particular scenario in these situations." I smiled, "I understand Mike. There are a lot of what ifs here, so I agree, it's better to not be focused on one action that Sam might take, cause he is very unpredictable." Mike continued, "Jason, I think you have a very special man here. I won't let you down buddy. This will be resolved as quickly as possible." I blushed as Jason hugged me, and then spoke, "Thank you so much Mike. Don is very special, and worth fighting for." Mike continued, "Well guys, if you don't mind I'd like to get at those tapes. Jason, I'd like to visit longer tonight, but..." Jason interrupted, "I understand Mike. There will be plenty of time to visit later. We all need to rest up a bit." I interrupted, "Tom, you can show Mike my journal too. There is more in there to give him clues on Sam's personality." Mike smiled, "Good job Don. I didn't remember about the journal. That should be extremely helpful. Paul and Tom, could I ride with you? I came straight from the airport by cab, so I haven't picked up my rental yet. Oh, before I forget. Don, can you alert your place of employment that Sam could show up there when he doesn't find you at home?" Paul answered, "Already done Mike. Don we talked to Laura before coming to DC. She knows you won't be at work, and she told us to 'Fucking pulverize Sam, cause if she gets her hands on him she's gonna show him just what IV nursing is all about' or something close to that." I laughed, "That sounds like Laura, and believe me, she could do it too." Everyone laughed heartily as each one thought about Laura inserting needles into Sam's extremities. We all made our way to the door, and I grabbed Brandon's leash, so he could walk outside with us. Robert was ecstatic and pulled me aside as we entered the hallway and whispered, "Mike is so cute Don." I whispered, "I know Robert. Go for it, you deserve a nice man." We walked outside to Tom's car, and Robert and Mike climbed into the back seat, while Paul and Tom hugged Jason and me. Paul stated, "Get some sleep tonight you two. Don't be giving Brandon any new ideas on what he can do with the other dogs." Jason and I both laughed as I swatted Paul harmlessly upside his head. Soon the car pulled away, and after Brandon finished his business, we entered the apartment for the night. Jason and I went out on the sun deck to relax for a bit. Brandon found a lounge chair and claimed it for his own. Jason asked seductively, "Don, would you like to join me in the hot tub?" I answered by removing Jason's shirt. We carefully undressed each other and then climbed into the tub after Jason turned on the controls. As the water bubbled around us, Jason pulled me close and kissed me passionately. I melted in his arms once again for the duration of the kiss. Jason looked deep into my eyes as once again our spirits spoke to each other on a level that only lovers could comprehend. A few minutes later Jason whispered, "I love you Don." I responded with a brief kiss, and then spoke, "Love you too, babe." Jason looked seriously at me as he questioned, "Don, is it too soon for me to ask if you'd move in with me. I don't want to spend another night without you next to me." I smiled brightly, "Yes Jason, I'd love to stay here with you. If you want, after Sam is dealt with we can start moving things in." Jason pulled me close and whispered in my ear, "Thanks my sweet prince, for making all my dreams come true." Jason and I continued to cuddle while in the hot tub for a few minutes, then I seductively whispered, "Jason, lets go to bed babe." Jason took my hand and led me out of the hot tub. We dried each other off, and walked hand in hand, with Brandon at our feet, down the hall and into the bedroom. Brandon jumped onto the bed and made himself comfortable at the foot of the bed. I looked at Jason and he smiled, "Let him stay there Don. This is Brandon's home now too." We climbed into the bed and Jason took me into his strong, secure, and comforting arms, and soon we fell asleep, two lovers intertwined together. Jason---A Love Story Chapter 12. Part 2. Somewhere on Long Island, New York. Sam packet the last of the items into his car. "This oughta show Don who's fucking in charge here. Smart-ass thinks he can just ignore all my calls. I'll whip his ass back into shape, and those fuckin' friends of his are history." Sam stormed back into his apartment, then went into his desk, and removed the gun and a box of bullets, which he promptly tossed into his gym bag. "Slut ass friends of Don's try to stop me and they'll be in for a big surprise. If they think I'm messing around with their shit, then they're fuckin' gonna get what they deserve. Useless fuckers, trying to tell me I've been replaced. I'm gonna replace a few body parts of theirs if they try to stop me. Don's gonna get his ass kicked good too. Fuckin' whoring around on me. I'll beat him into submission, and he better learn to enjoy it to. Fuckin' ass bastards, giving me shit on the phone, then Don doesn't answer my calls. They're all gonna fuckin' pay for giving me grief. Well, they'll all be surprised when I show up at noon instead of 5pm. Fuckin' bitch whores won't know what's fuckin' hit them. Sam slammed the door to his apartment shut, and stomped out to his car. Five minutes later he was on the expressway heading towards New York City, and then south to Virginia. Back at Tom and Paul's. Mike and Robert listened intently to the tapes while Mike skimmed my journal. Paul and Tom walked into the living room just as the last tape ended. Mike looked up at Paul and stated, "You weren't kidding Paul. This Sam is a bastard and definitely psychotic." Paul and Tom nodded in agreement, then Tom commented, "You should talk to him over the phone. It gave me chills hearing his voice." Robert commented, "Mike, this guy is gonna try to pull a fast one. I can feel it with every sense of my being." Mike replied, "I have the same feeling Robert. We have to make sure someone is constantly with Don till this if over. I'm just glad this guy doesn't have a clue as to who Jason is. That is gonna be our greatest benefit at this point." Tom yawned, as Paul spoke, "We're gonna hit the bed guys. The spare rooms are down the hall so just help yourselves to anything you want. We'll see ya in the morning." Robert and Mike both replied, "Night guys." Paul and Tom left for their room and within minutes fell asleep in each other's arms. Mike got up from the table and proceeded to turn off the stereo. He commented, "Robert, wanna take a walk with me? I always walk a bit before turning in at night." Robert leaped out of his chair as he replied, "Sure. It's a fabulous night out tonight. Not to hot for once, especially for July." The two men quietly walked out the door and proceeded to walk around the peaceful neighborhood. They chatted back and forth about their respective jobs and Robert told Mike about his passion for gay rights. Mike was impressed with Robert's concern for others and how he used his connections to help make living in this conservative area better for the gay community. The two men returned to the house and as Robert reached to open the door, Mike took Robert's hand and turned him to face him. Mike drew Robert in close and gave him a brief kiss. Robert smiled back and their lips met again, this time in a passionate kiss, as they embraced each other. Robert opened his mouth to allow Mikes tongue to glide in to meet his own. Their hands began to roam over each other's backside as their tongues gently fought for access to each other's mouths. Finally the kiss ended, and they both commented, "Wow!!" Robert took Mikes hand and they entered the house, then quietly shut and locked the door. Mike looked at Robert with affection and lust in his eyes, as he asked, "Robert, spend the night with me?" Robert smiled brightly as he replied, "Lead the way Mike." They quietly passed by Tom and Paul's room as the two men walked to the bedroom at the far end of the house. Upon entering the back bedroom, Robert noticed several unlit candles placed upon the furniture which lined the perimeter of the room. Robert picked up the book of matches that sat next to one of the candles and began to light them, as he thought, "I know these weren't here this morning. Must have been Paul's idea. Who says Paul and Tom aren't just a couple of romantics at heart." Mike watched as Robert lit the candles and then moved back next to him and the bed. Mike moved behind Robert and wrapped his arms around Robert's waist as he rested his chin on Robert's shoulder. He softly blew into Robert's left ear as Robert leaned back against Mike's strong chest. Mike began pulling Robert's shirt from the confines of his pants as Robert softly moaned his approval. Mike gently raised the shirt up Robert's well-defined torso, and then slipped it over his head. Mike gently caressed Robert's chest, stopping to lightly pinch his erect nipples. Robert moaned, "Ohhh Gawd" as Mike continued to work magic with his hands. Robert turned while in Mike's arms, and then slowly guided Mike back against the bed. Mike sat on the bed as Robert dropped to his knees in front of Mike. Robert grasped Mike's right foot in his hand and began to undo the laces that held the front of the shoe together, as he whispered, "Large feet. I love large feet." Robert swiftly removed the shoe and then pulled of Mike's sock. Robert raised Mike's foot until it was even with his mouth, and then began to lick the big toe. He soon took the entire toe into his mouth and began to suck up and down on it while Mike moaned, "Oh Gawd Robert. This feels incredible." Robert worked on each toe of Mike's right foot, first tongue bathing it, then sucking it into his mouth. Then Robert began to lick from the toes to Mike's ankle, while Mike continued groaning, "So fucking good Robert. Work my foot Robert." Robert finally released Mike's right foot, resting it on his groin, and then he repeated the process on Mike's left foot, while Mike continued to encourage Robert with verbalization of the ecstasy he found himself in. Mike finally pulled free of Robert's foot worship long enough to remove the rest of his and Robert's clothing. They climbed onto the bed and immediately Mike brought the bottoms of his feet together around Robert's ten-inch cock. Mike gently stroked Robert's erect penis with the bottoms of his feet as Robert groaned, "Oh fuck yeah Mike. Suck my cock with your huge feet." Mike grasped Robert's right foot and brought it to his mouth and began to work on the toes while he continued to rub Robert's cock with his feet. Roberts breathing became heavy as Mike licked and sucked each toe, and finally gliding his tongue along the bottom of Robert's foot. Robert placed his other foot on Mike's erect nine-inch dick and began gently massaging it. Roberts breathing became hard and quick as his dark chest heaved in and out. Robert moaned, "I gonna cum Mike," and began shooting streams of white-hot liquid high into the air. Cum was landing all along Mike's legs as Robert continued to blast out months of pent up desire. Mike continued to milk Robert's cock until it was dry, and then grasped Robert's hands, pulling Robert on top of him. The two began to kiss passionately for several minutes until Robert broke the kiss, looked deep into Mikes lust filled eyes, and stated, "Fuck me Mike. Please fuck me now." Mike turned Robert over onto his back, raised and spread his legs wide, and then pushed Robert's legs back towards the bed. Robert grasped his ankles to hold his legs in place as Mike used his saliva to lubricate Robert's waiting anal opening. Then Mike moved his right foot to Robert's spread ass and began to massage the anal muscles with his big toe. Mike slowly pushed against Robert's hole with his big toe and it gently entered Robert's anal opening. Mike moved his toe back and forth, while Robert moaned, "Oh my fucking gawd. Fuck me with your foot Mike. Oh fuck yeah this is so hot." Mike continued to loosen Robert up with his toe, while he lubricated his own cock with a generous amount of saliva. Amidst Roberts's pleas for more, Mike pulled his toe out of Robert's ass, and quickly replaced it with the entire nine-inches of his hard cock. Robert growled, "Fuck Me Good Mike. Give it to Me Fast and Hard." Mike began to pound in and out of Robert quickly, knowing that he wouldn't be able to hold out for long. Like Robert, it had been months since Mike's last sexual experience. As Robert pleaded for more, Mike pistoned in and out of Robert's sweet ass. Soon Mike began to moan, "I'm gonna cum Robert. I'm gonna fill your tight ass full of my cum." Robert began to furiously stroke his cock, as he groaned, "I'm coming again Mike. Make me cum!" Mike slammed into Robert one last time as he began to erupt deep inside Robert's inviting anal orifice. Robert matched Mike shot for shot as his cum once again flew into the air and over his head. They both continued to volley their loads until they were spent, and then Mike collapsed on top of Robert, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss. Finally the two new lovers spoke to each other, both stating how incredible the experience was. Soon after they drifted off to sleep in each other's arms, content that fate had brought them together. Jason and I awoke to the sound of panting and whining as Brandon stood on the bed between us, staring at us and wagging his tail. I moaned, "Guess I better get up. Someone needs to go outside." Jason looked over at the clock and stated, "It's 7am Don. I'll get up and go with you. I have to follow Mike's orders and not let you outta my sight babe, hehehe." I smiled at Jason as we both giggled, then we climbed out of bed and both quickly dressed in shorts and a T- shirt. Brandon pranced to the door and waited for us as we sauntered down the hallway. Jason unlocked the door as I placed Brandon's leash onto his collar. Jason took my hand in his while we were pulled through the hallway and down the steps by Brandon, who was most anxious to get outside. As we exited the apartment building I commented, "It's a beautiful morning isn't it Jason?" Jason cooed, "Sure is Don, specially since I'm enjoyin' it with you." I gave Jason a quick peck on the cheek, and then we started our casual stroll through the neighborhood with Brandon watering every conceivable bush along the way. Tom and Paul woke to the beeping of the alarm clock. Paul crawled out of the bed while Tom turned over and fell back asleep. Paul giggled to himself; "Tom will never change. Just can't get up the first time the alarm goes off." Paul pulled on a T-shirt and wandered out into the hallway. He immediately noticed that only one of the bedroom doors at the other end of the hall was closed. Paul quietly moved down the hallway, then glanced in the open door and noticed the empty room with the untouched bed. A huge smile crossed his face as he thought, "I knew they would hit it off. I'm glad we set the other room up the way Tom suggested." Paul quickly ran back to his bedroom and jumped on the bed waking Tom. Paul snickered, "Robert and Mike are in the end bedroom babe. The other room hasn't been touched." Tom giggled, groggily, "I knew it would happen. I wonder if they liked the candles." Tom pulled Paul on top of him before Paul could even answer. Mike woke to Robert's thought filled gaze. Mike smiled, "Earth to Robert. Are you still here with me?" Robert flinched as he responded, "Yeah. I was just trying to remember if it was all a dream." Mike giggled as he pulled Robert in for a passionate kiss. When they broke from their tongue duet, Mike stated, "It was real Robert." Robert just moaned, "Yes!!!" Mike pulled Robert's head to his lips and once again initiated a mind-altering kiss. Robert returned the kiss full force as the two new lovers moaned and began grinding their bodies into each other. After several minutes the two broke their grip on each other and Mike stated, "We better get out of bed Robert. There is much to be done this morning." Robert nodded in agreement and the two men slipped from the bed and quickly dressed in shorts and t-shirts. Robert giggled, "I bet Tom and Paul are waiting for us to come through the door." Mike laughed, "Well come on Robert, lets give them something to look at." Mike motioned for Robert to take his hand, and then Mike turned the door handle, and slowly began to open the door. Jason and I returned from walking Brandon too the ringing of the phone. I quickly picked it up. "Morning Paul." Paul laughed, "How'd ya know it was me?" I giggled, "Who else would call at 7:30 am?" Paul snickered, "Fine, then I won't tell ya what happened here last night." I quickly put the phone on speaker and motioned Jason towards the phone. Jason laughed, "Ok Paul, spill it." Paul and Tom both laughed, then Paul continued, "Well, Robert stayed here last night too, and only one bedroom was used." Jason and I both yelled, "KEWL!!!" Paul continued, "We just got up, so Tom and I haven't seen them yet." I giggled, "Make sure you razz them for me and Jason." Tom laughed, "Oh don't worry Don. I'm sure Paul won't let this one go. We better get going. I gotta get to work and Paul is gonna drop the stuff off at the courthouse for you." Jason replied, "Ok Tom. We'll call you later, after we finish at the courthouse. You guys take care, and give Robert and Mike our best, hehehe." Jason hung up the phone and gave me a quick kiss. "We better get moving Don." I softly replied, "Yeah, time to get this show on the road." Jason took my hand and led me out to the sundeck and over to the shower so we could begin our day. After hanging up the phone Paul and Tom heard some commotion from the far bedroom, so they move out into the hallway and each leaned against a wall with their arms folded across their chests. They watched as the bedroom door slowly opened, seeing Robert and Mike emerge from the room hand in hand. Paul and Tom both giggled, "Told ya babe," at the same time. Mike and Robert just stood together; holding hands, and smiling like a couple of peacocks. Robert snickered, "Oh just get a life you two." The four men just started laughing hysterically. Mike gleamed, "Got any coffee made you two?" Paul laughed, "Yeah, it should be finished brewing. Help yourself Mike. Tom and I gotta get ready for work." Tom and Paul sauntered back into their bedroom as Mike and Robert wandered into the kitchen. Mike stated, "Robert, we need to pay a visit to the local cop shop. Can ya hook me up with someone there?" Robert replied, "No problem. I know the precinct captain. He is a pretty nice guy, should help ya out with anything you'll need." Mike continued, "Good, then we need to go to Don's place. I wanna get there by 1pm to check things out before this Sam shows up." Robert and Mike continued to banter back and forth while they drank their coffee until Tom and Paul once again appeared. Paul giggled to Tom, "They look like us babe. Sign of things to come, don't ya think?" Tom laughed as Robert tossed the morning paper at Paul. Mike suggested, "Come on Robert, let's go have some fun in the shower while these boys go to work." Robert didn't have to be asked twice. He was up on his feet in a flash, grabbing Mike's hand, and practically dragging him towards the bedroom. Paul and Tom laughed as they gathered their necessities, and then wandered out the door, beginning the day that none of the men would ever forget. Jason---A Love Story Chapter 12. Part 3. Jason and I arrived at the courthouse just before 9am, and as we exited the car, Paul drove into the vacant spot next to us. The three of us walked to the courthouse and waited for the doors to be unlocked. I was a nervous wreck and for the first time in months I wished I had a cigarette. Jason noticed my anxiety and whispered, "Don't worry babe, I'm right here with you." Paul put his arm around my shoulder and quietly spoke, "Everything will be ok Don, we have more than enough evidence according to Mike for the restraining order." I began to calm down as the doors were unlocked and we stepped inside. As Jason, Tom, and I approached the courtroom we were met by a handsome man in his thirties. He began, "Don and Jason?" We replied, "Yes." He continued, "My names Kevin. I am Robert's friend. It's good to meet you. Judge Stevens has agreed to meet you in her chambers, rather than the courtroom. This will give us more privacy. Did you bring the tapes and journal?" Jason responded, "Yes, we have them." Paul handed the items to Kevin, and then stated, "I'd better get to work. Good luck, Don. I'm sure everything will go smoothly." Jason and I responded, "Thanks Paul." Jason continued, We'll call you from Don's after we finish here." Paul waved goodbye, and exited the courthouse. Jason and I followed Kevin into the judge's chambers. A very sophisticated woman greeted us as we entered, "Don and Jason, please come in." Kevin closed the door and we began the process of explaining the scenario surrounding Sam to Judge Stevens. Sam tossed the empty beer can out the window as he continued driving on the expressway. Suddenly he saw flashing lights in his rear view mirror. Sam laughed, "Fucking cop thinks he's gonna stop me. Fucker picked the wrong day to mess with me." Sam pulled the gun from his bag as he pulled the car to the side of the road. He quickly loaded the gun with bullets and then rolled the window to the car down. The young officer stepped up to the window of Sam's car and began to lean in to ask for his license when Sam pulled the trigger, and a earth shattering "BANG" was heard. The officer fell away from the car, hitting the pavement, as blood poured from his chest. Sam yelled, "Stupid Fucker, Thought You'd Stop Me. Stupid ass cops deserve what they get." Sam floored the gas pedal and sped away from the scene, leaving the officer to die on the deserted highway, unaware that a video camera in the police car was taping the whole event. Robert and Mike finished in the shower after making love yet another time. They quickly dressed and then left Paul and Tom's house, heading directly to the police station. Upon arriving, Robert led Mike to the captain's office. Robert opened the door and stuck his head in asking, "Hey Lou, you got a minute?" Lou looked up from his desk, smiled, and stated, "Robert bud. For you of course I got a minute. What's up bud?" Robert and Mike entered the office, as Robert continued, "Lou, this is Mike. He's with the FBI, here on a personal favor to some friends of mine. We need your help if possible." Lou shook Mike's hand, "Good to meet ya Mike. What can I do to help that the FBI couldn't already handle?" Robert closed the door, and Mike began to explain to Lou the reason for his visit. Jason and I shook hands with Judge Stevens as she spoke, "Good Luck to you both. I hope this will assist you in your problems with Sam. Off the record, I hope you kick his ass from here to New York. Be careful guys. I know you're both aware that the restraining order may not even deter him, but I want to reiterate. Please be careful." Jason and I both responded, "Thank you again Judge Stevens. We will won't let our guard down." We exited the judges chambers, followed by Kevin. Kevin stated, "Good luck guys. Let me know if I can help with anything else." I replied, "Thanks Kevin. We'll be in touch I am sure." Jason and I quickly exited the courthouse, made our way to the car, and then drove away in the direction of my apartment. Paul answered the ringing phone, "Cafe Spectrum, Paul speaking." Tom yelled, "Hey babe, I'm on the cell. How's it going? Have you heard from Don yet?" Paul snickered, "Not yet babe. Why aren't you at work?" Tom laughed, "Like I was gonna stay their and wait this out. I'm on my way to you right now. I should be there in a half-hour, then we can run over to Don's to make sure everything went ok. I already tried to call Don's, but there was no answer." Paul giggled, "I knew you wouldn't make it the whole day. I got Sarah coming in early to cover for me, just in case. See ya in a bit." Tom yelled, "See ya in 30, bye." Paul hung up the phone, suddenly having a feeling of uneasiness flood his consciousness. Jason and I arrived at my apartment at 11:30am. We slowly climbed the stairs to the third floor and I opened the door, just as the phone stopped ringing. I glanced at the caller ID and laughed as I told Jason, "We just missed Tom." I noticed the button was blinking furiously on the answering machine, so I hit the play button. The first message was from my mom, letting me know that she had gotten Paul's message that I would be out of town, and that she would call over the weekend. There were several messages from phone salesmen, and then one from Laura telling me to enjoy my time with Jason; and that Paul had filled her in on what was going on. The next message sent shivers down my spine, as it was from Sam. His voice was pure evil, as he stated, "Where the fuck are you Don, you whore. I tried to call you several times and you haven't picked up. Out fucking around on me again, you worthless slut. Well, I'll be there Friday and you better be around, or your ass is gonna regret it when I track you down like the dog that you are. Tell your fucking whore friends that they better not mess with me, if they know what's good for them. I'll beat the fucking shit out of them if they mess with me. Better start packing and get rid of that fucking mutt of yours, cause your leaving with me, even if I have to drag your slut ass outta there. See ya at five whore." Jason stood there with his mouth opened wide as I started to tear up. Jason pulled me close, "I could never have realized it was that bad Don. Please don't worry. Let's get what we need and get the hell out of here." Jason and I went into the bedroom and began to pack up my summer clothes, forgetting to lock the apartment door. Lou listened intently as Robert and Mike explained the situation at hand. Lou commented, "Whatever you need Mike, just let me know. The guy sounds like a total psychotic." Mike and Robert started to leave the office as Lou's phone began to ring. "Lou here." The captain listened intently, his facial expression changing from flat, to pain ridden, to downright anger, as he commented, "Thanks Bill, I'll get the boys prepared." Lou quickly hung up the phone, and bolted from his office, yelling "Mike, Robert, you better get back here." Mike and Robert returned quickly to the captain's office. Lou began, "We just got word that a state trooper was shot and killed this morning. His car was equipped with a video monitor, and the license plate of the car involved in the shooting, show's it's registered to this Sam character. This was about an hour and a half ago, and the car was heading this direction. Sam is already in town if my math is right." Robert's expression went blank as he stated, "Oh Fuck. We gotta get to Don's now." Mike replied, "You've already got Don's address Lou, we are on our way. Send us a couple of back up cars as quick as you can." Mike pulled Robert from the office and the two men flew down the hallway and out the door like a jet ready to depart the runway. Tom arrived at the cafe and found Paul waiting with a worried look on his face. Tom jumped from the car and asked, "What is it Paul, have you heard from Don and Jason?" Paul shook his head no, as he commented, "I have a horrible feeling Tom. It started right after we hung up. Lets get to Don's now." The two men quickly ran to the car, and were immediately on the road as Tom's cell phone began to ring. Paul picked it up and answered, "Don is that you." Robert's voice echoed in the phone, "Sam fucking killed a cop this morning. They think he's already here. Mike and I are on our way to Don's now." Paul hollered back into the phone, "Oh my fucking God. We should be at Don's in about three minutes." Mikes voice boomed into the phone, "Paul, don't go up there till we arrive. We should be there in 5 minutes and the police will be right behind us. If he's still got the gun, the more people Sam sees will just set him off quicker." Paul replied, "Ok, I knew something was up. We'll meet you there in a few." Paul clicked off the phone and turned to Tom; "Sam killed a cop this morning. They think he's already here. Mike said to wait till he arrives before we do anything." Tom expression turned to pure anger as he flew down the road that led to my apartment. Jason and I continued to pack my things, and then I heard the door to the apartment opening and closing. I hollered, "We're in here Paul." There was no answer so I moved to the bedroom door as Sam appeared. I screamed, "OH SHIT!!!! SAM!!!!! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!!!!" Sam laughed, "I'm not going anywhere you whore," as he punched me hard in my gut. "Your ass is mine." Jason immediately appeared at the door as I doubled over in pain. Sam screamed, "IS THIS THE SLUT YOU'VE BEEN FUCKIN AROUND WITH DON?" Jason screamed, FUCK OFF SAM. DON ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE WITH YOU. GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!!!" Sam yelled as he attempted to punch Jason, "YOU FUCKIN SLUT! I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS TO ANYONE MESSIN WITH MY PROPERTY!" Jason ducked Sam's swing and quickly pulled me out of the doorway. Jason moved back to the doorway as Sam pulled the gun from his backside. Sam pointed the gun at Jason, as he bellowed, "FUCK OFF YOU LITTLE SLUT. GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!! DON'S COMIN WITH ME, NOW!!!!" Jason didn't move an inch as Sam continued to wave the gun in the air. Jason reiterated, "KISS OFF SAM. DON'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH YOU. HE'S WITH ME NOW, SO GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!!" Sam laughed evilly, "WRONG SLUT BOY. DON'S COMING WITH ME, AND YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD, ASS HOLE!!!!" Sam lowered the gun towards Jason's chest, and began to pull the trigger, as I pounced from my squatting position. I knocked Jason to the ground as the gun went of with a earth shattering "BANG--BANG!!!!" I though I heard the apartment door being kicked in as I yelled, "I LOVE YOU JASON. PLEASE FORGIVE ME." Then everything went black. That concludes chapter 12. Finally a cliffhanger!!!! What will happen next? Who lives and who dies? Well, I can't reveal that yet, since I still have to write the concluding chapter. Once again my heartfelt thanks to all those who have continued to send their comments on the story. I hope you haven't been disappointed with the latest installment. Stay tuned for the conclusion of Jason--A Love Story. It should be out soon (if school permits). As always, send your thoughts and concerns to donnrs2000@mindspring.com. Hugs and happiness!!!!!
