All comments to brother_722000@yahoo.com "The Housekeeper" part 12 The remainder of the weekend went very well; on the trip across to Cowes, Mum was just like a small child rushing from one side of the ferry to the other to make sure she didn't miss anything. It was a good job she had a digital camera with a spare card otherwise she would have run out of film halfway. We didn't see the 'Queen Mary 2' this time but we did see the 'Aurora', one of the P.& O cruise ships. Dad didn't realise the ferries were so large, the 'Red Falcon' that we travelled on was carrying two fuel tankers and four artic trucks as well as numerous cars and vans. As they promised, they took us out for a lovely meal that evening and by the time we returned home all of us were ready to hit the sack. It must have been the sea air that tired us out as Kevin and I had a quick kiss and settled to sleep. Kevin was spooned behind me and his hand drifted down to his favourite spot just below my waist. "I think you are losing interest in me" he whispered, "I can't remember when you were last soft in bed, perhaps it's because you are so old" my elbow caught him squarely in the ribs as I gave a little laugh and he said, "Ouch, that hurt" As promised, on Sunday Kevin drove us down into the 'New Forest'; it was another first for Mum and Dad. We showed them the spot where William Rufus was killed and then the moment that made the weekend for Dad, we visited the 'National Motor Museum'. If Mum had been excited the day before it was nothing compared to Dad. He had always been interested in old cars, but to see so many all together under one roof was like being in heaven. I think what made the day for Mum was seeing the ponies wandering free across the roads, we were subject to many Ooohs and Ahhhhs throughout the day. We weren't too late getting home as Kevin had a meal to cook. As my lover got started on the evening meal I made a pot of tea (good old English) and we sat in the kitchen; at least Dad and I sat, Mum was helping Kevin. Those two had become so close during the last forty eight hours I was beginning to feel he was the natural son and me the new boy, not that I was complaining, it gave me so much pleasure to see Mum and Dad accepting my partner and taking him into their hearts as one of their own, much as Joe had accepted me. Joe arrived spot on seven; it sometimes crossed my mind that he sat outside if he was early. After I had made the introductions, talk flowed easily between the three 'oldies' as if they had been best friends for years. I was rather relieved Mum hadn't brought any photographs with her otherwise I'm sure Joe would have been 'treated?' to a pic of me in my birthday suit on the hearthrug. At three months I might add. I left the three of them together and went into the kitchen to see how the love of my life was doing. I sneaked up behind him and gave him a hug, whispering, "If you play your cards right, I might let you sleep with me tonight". Fortunately he didn't jump, but he did say, "If you aren't careful we will be spending the night in separate hospital beds if I spill this boiling water". The meal went superbly; Kevin as usual came up trumps. I was so pleased when Mum turned to Joe and said, "Joe you are to be congratulated on the way you have brought up Kevin, I couldn't wish Richard to have a better partner, he is such a polite and thoughtful man and I am honoured to call him son". "I assure you I feel just the same about Richard" said Joe, "I will never forget the day that he asked me to find him a housekeeper and the two fell in love. I felt a little strange at first but now I look on Richard as a second son". "Mother and I feel just the same" said Dad, "And all of you will always be welcome in our home, by the way Joe, do you play golf?" "Yes I do" replied Joe, "But not terribly well". "Well, that settles it then" said Dad, "what more could we want". Joe stayed the night, the first time we had used all three of our bedrooms, and he left very early the next morning. I left straight after breakfast leaving Kevin with the job of saying farewell to Mum and Dad. The next weekend we met James and Martin at the club and they came home for the night on Friday but left on Saturday morning so that Kevin and I could have some glorious loving time alone. From Saturday morning until Monday morning we never left home at all, in fact we didn't even get dressed for forty eight hours. It was wonderful; we didn't do anything except get ourselves something to eat and even that was ready meals. It was three weeks later that Kevin and I had the first upset of our relationship, all through a misunderstanding. I took a phone call at the office from an old friend that I had been at university with, we shared lodgings for two years and had adjacent rooms in 'Hall' for the year before that. He was passing through Southampton on business and hoped that we could meet up so I invited him for dinner. I then rang Kevin to check that he could cope with an extra that evening, of course it was no trouble. I collected Peter from his hotel and took him home. We were so busy talking about old times when we arrived at the apartment that I took him straight into the lounge for a drink. It must have been about twenty minutes later when Peter went to the toilet that I checked in with Kevin. As I passed the dining room I saw the table was only laid for two. I greeted my boyfriend with a kiss on the back of the neck as I often did if he was busy. "Hey lover boy, you have only laid up for two did you forget Peter was coming?" "No, it's for you two, as soon as I finish here I'm going to see Dad and I will see you in the morning" he said as he turned towards me. I saw the look on his face, it wasn't good. "Hey Kevin, what on earth is wrong" I asked. "Well you have your old friend so I thought I would get out of the way" he replied. My mind raced, why, then it struck me, I had been at home for twenty minutes and hadn't even greeted him or introduced him to Peter. I was deep in the poop. I quickly returned to Peter and asked him to excuse me for a moment. I came back and closed the kitchen door moving across to my lover. "Kevin, I'm so sorry, I wasn't thinking, we got so carried away talking of old times that I ignored the most important man in my life. Please don't go away, if you don't want me to have Peter here I will make an excuse and send him away". I was looking Kevin straight in the eye as I said this, he was clearly very upset, I'm sure he thought I was ashamed of him because someone from my past had arrived. "I assure you my love, that it wasn't intentional. Please don't go, I want you to meet Peter, and more than that I want him to meet the most important man in my life". Before he could argue, I took his hand and dragged him into the lounge. "Peter I want you meet Kevin, the most important person here, he is my housekeeper and driver but most of all he is my partner" I told him "That's terrific, you certainly know how to pick them, I'm very pleased to meet you Kevin" said Peter. "I mean he is my partner" I said emphasising my words. "I know what you mean old buddy, at last you have a boyfriend, I'm so happy for you. Don't look so surprised, I knew you were gay when we were at Uni. and I was surprised you never met anyone then, but now I have seen Kevin I know what you were waiting for" said Peter. I was astounded and showed it, and it was Kevin's turn to smile. "You knew" I said, "You never said anything, if you knew how many other people knew". "I don't think anyone did, at least nobody ever said anything; I suppose it was because we were so close that I noticed. I will share a secret with you, I'm straight, in fact I'm engaged to get married, but once or twice I was hoping you would make a pass at me. Although I'm glad now that you didn't, I'm sure it would have ruined our friendship" Peter answered. Both Kevin and Peter had huge smiles on their faces but I didn't know what to say, Kevin poured me a large whisky and refilled a glass for Peter. "This is getting interesting Peter" said Kevin, "What else can you tell me about my boyfriend". "I don't know where to start, how much time have you got" said my ex-friend. I realised that they were both winding me up. It turned out to be a very pleasant evening despite my disastrous start. Peter was a perfect guest and made sure Kevin was included in the conversation even when we were talking about our Uni days. But all the time in the back of my mind was how I had hurt Kevin; I tried to read his face without much success. Peter left just after ten having thanked Kevin for a wonderful meal. The atmosphere between Kevin and I still wasn't right and I thought it best to give him some time, so I said "Good Night" "Good night, what do you mean?" asked Kevin. "I thought I would sleep in the spare room to give you some space" I replied. "Richard, stop behaving like a bloody fool" It was the first time Kevin had raised his voice to me. He lowered his voice and continued, "Alright you fucked up, and you hurt me, I thought you were ashamed of me, but we all make mistakes, I realise now that you were carried away meeting Peter again and just forgot, but it isn't the end of the world". "I know, but how could I forget the most important person in my life", I said. "These things happen" Kevin said, "I will admit I was hurting deep down inside but that didn't stop me loving you, this was bound to happen sooner or later, although I thought it would be me that would do it. And if you are sleeping in the spare room so am I, you are my boyfriend" "How can you be so forgiving when I do something like that?" I asked. "That is what love and life is all about, it has its ups and downs, we smooth them out, sort out what went wrong and put it right" Kevin answered. I just stood there staring at my lover trying to take in what he had said. After a couple of minutes he said, "Richard are you OK?" "I was just realising why I love you so much, who made you so wise all of a sudden, telling me things I should know?" I said. "Do you remember" said Kevin. "A few weeks back you gave me an explanation of love, how it wasn't split up, each love was a separate thing each standing alone, you loved me with all you had, but you loved your Mum and Dad with just the same passion. Up to then I had never thought of love that way, I thought the more people you loved, the less love you had for each of them, how wrong I was. I love my Dad 100%, I also love you 100%, and now I love your Mum and Dad just as much. I have thought about that when I have been working here alone and I realise how stupid I was". "Kevin you are never stupid" I interrupted him. "Well, maybe not stupid, I just hadn't given it enough thought, but now I have got over that. But!" He paused....so I waited. "I haven't got over my jealousy, but I'm working on it; I was jealous of Peter, he is such a good looking guy and such a nice personality and until he said he had a girlfriend I was scared I might lose you", my lover continued. "As I said before, you have no reason to be jealous, I love Peter; no, I will rephrase that, I have great affection for Peter, but I don't love anyone in the same way that I love you. To me you are the most important person in my life and I can't believe that I treated you the way I did" I told him. "Richard, let's just forget it, a mistake was made so let's put it behind us. Are you still going to sleep in the spare room?" Kevin asked. "Of course not, I want us both to sleep in our room as we have done. I need to feel my lover in my arms and to feel his arms around me, I need you Kevin" I answered. I finished in the bathroom and slipped into bed, a couple of minutes later my lover joined me and leaned down to kiss me. "Dick, why are you crying" Kevin asked. "We have had our first upset and it was all my fault" I replied, "I hurt you, the one person in the world I should never hurt" "Please stop crying otherwise I will start, what happened is now in the past, we have the whole of our future together to look forward to, if we have nothing worse than this in our life we will be the happiest couple in the world" said my darling Kevin. Before I could answer his lips met mine, at first, just for a few seconds, then a real humdinger of passion, everything in the world was right again. "Kevin, I love you more each day you wonderful man" I said after I had regained my breath. "Not as much as I love you" he whispered as he spooned up behind me. The next day Kevin drove me home from the office and as soon as we were inside with the door closed he pulled me into his arms and gave me a real humdinger of a kiss, this guy just gets better all the time When at last he let me come up for air he said, "Why don't you get in the shower and relax, I will check on dinner" Within minutes I was stripped and standing in the middle of the shower with the water pouring over me. I didn't hear the curtain open, but suddenly a pair of arms slipped around my waist and one hand grasped my not exactly soft cock and the other coddled my rather heavy balls. "Oooh that feels nice", I said, "What is this for?" "I so much want to show you how much I love you" Kevin whispered in my ear, "And I can't wait until bedtime, I have often read about lovers doing it in the shower so I thought it would be nice to find out, what do you think?" "I think that if you slipped your sword into my scabbard you would be able to get much closer" I replied. "Two minds with but a single thought" said Kevin as he eased into my welcoming love tunnel............. To.Be.Continued. If you are enjoying the story please tell me, if you aren't please tell me why. Don't forget that Nifty is a wonderful free service and show your appreciation with a little financial support. Can I ask you to give a little thought and a prayer for those among us who are shunned by their families and cut off from love and friendship. Please give a thought for Peter living a very lonely life. Let us hope that those families will one day have a change of heart and accept us for what we are.....Tony.
