None of the characters portrayed relate to any known person. Warning - it contains explicit m/m sex. The Pink Retreat 2. "That was very nice Luke" Josh said as he finished his meal, "Do you like cooking?" "I don't mind doing it; find it quite satisfying, although that meal didn't take much work since mum had done most of the preparation and peeling a few apples and stewing them doesn't take much effort" Luke giggled. "Even so, it was nice and I enjoyed it" Josh replied thinking about meal times at his house which were always very tense. The conversation was always guarded and the slightest thing was likely to set his father off on one of his tirades or snide remarks directed at Josh. He knew that one of these days he was going to react back and tell his father exactly what he thought about him. It was only a matter of time before he pushed too far. "Are you okay?" Josh suddenly heard Luke saying as he patted his hand across the table. "Yeah" Josh replied tearfully. "Whatever's the matter?" Luke asked immediately getting off his stool at the breakfast bar in the kitchen where they were eating and going round to Josh on the other side. By now, Josh's tears were running down his face. Luke took him into his arms and hugged him tight. "What's wrong my love?" Luke asked gently as he rubbed Josh's naked back up and down. "I can't stand much more of it" he sobbed. "What your dad you mean" Luke replied assuming it was that which was upsetting his dear friend since up to now he'd seemed so happy. Josh nodded. "I suppose until you start earning there's no way you can get away" Luke said more to himself than to Josh. Josh just shook his head as his tears slowly subsided. "I'm sorry" Josh said quietly as he kissed Luke's shoulder where his face happened to be resting against. "There's nothing to be sorry about my love, it's your dad who should be sorry, not you." They stayed huddled together for several minutes without saying anything. As they did so, Luke reached over and shared out the remainder of the wine he'd opened for their meal. "Here, drink this to drown your sorrows" he said brightly as he passed Josh his glass, "and once we've cleared away the dishes we'll go back upstairs and have more sex. How does that sound?" Josh looked at his lover and grinned, "Sounds damn good" he giggled. "That's better" Luke chuckled, "I don't like to see the guy I love crying". "Oh Luke, I so love you" Josh replied with tears running down his face again but these were more tears of joy than anything else. Once they'd finished their wine, Josh was feeling better so they cleared away the dishes, locked up downstairs and made their way up to Luke's rooms. Even though it was only early evening, they had a feeling they would be too busy doing other things to come down again that night! This time they went straight into the bedroom and Luke connected his laptop to the smaller television at the end of his bed. Before long, two naked guys were making love on screen. As Josh watched the action, his mind wandered back to his own situation. He occupied a tiny bedroom with no television apart from what he watched on his laptop which in any event was limited because of the broadband connection he had, and Luke had a suite of rooms with two televisions. But that is life! He also often hated his grandfather for making his daughter marry the man who had taken advantage of her, since had she continued her promising career she too could probably have been living in this kind of luxury. But of course, he would not have been born so he would not now be lying beside the guy he loved more than anything in the world! It wasn't long before they both had erections and were casually playing with them as they watched the action on screen. "How long is yours do you reckon?" Josh suddenly blurted out not really knowing why he had done so. "Seven inches" Luke replied with a chuckle. "Have you measured it then?" "Yep, have you not measured yours?" Luke replied looking at Josh's thick organ. "No, never thought about until now" Without saying anything, Luke jumped off the bed and into the other room to fetch a ruler. "Right, let's see how big you are then" Luke giggled as he grasped Josh's manhood and held it straight up. "Just over six and a half inches so not bad" Luke announced having taken the measurement from the base, "and it's nice and thick so I think you could become a porn star if you wanted" he added laughing. "Yeah, just imagine that" Josh laughed, "I could send a copy of my first film to my dad and say stick that in your pipe and smoke it mate!" "Yours has a bigger head than mine" Josh commented as he lightly pulled back the foreskin on Luke's erection, "it's like a mushroom whereas mine is more pointed" he giggled. They laughed and rolled around the bed for a while. When they finally stopped, Josh was laying on top of Luke between his open legs. Their erections were rubbing against each other and the pre-cum oozing out of each was making them slip together and causing them to become even more excited. "You want me now?" Luke asked quietly as he looked into Josh's dark brown eyes. "Yes please" Josh replied. He slowly moved down Luke's hairless body licking as he went. He'd seen guys do this on film. He licked each of Luke's nipples and was surprised to see them immediately become hard nubs. By the look on Luke's face he liked his nipples being licked and lightly tweaked so he made a mental note of that for future sessions. Slowly he moved his way down until he reached the hard organ that was now twitching with excitement. Josh licked the large head and pushed his tongue down inside the foreskin that wrapped the sensitive area. Luke was again groaning and moaning with delight as he felt Josh's hot tongue round his private part. Having given the shaft a good lick and a quick suck, Josh took each of Luke's large floppy balls and rolled each one round his mouth. They were too large to get both in without hurting Luke so he dealt with one at a time. They tasted good and he enjoyed the experience. It was all new to him so an exciting journey. Luke had now lifted his legs high over his chest to expose the prize that Josh was looking for. They pushed a pillow beneath his buttocks to raise the area in question to a convenient height and for a moment Josh just looked at it. "Beautiful" he murmured to himself, "just beautiful". He bent forward and licked between Luke's legs which he found were also an erotic zone for Luke. Having licked either side of the puckered hole he then ran his tongue across it. Luke's organ twitched immediately and Josh heard a groan of delight coming from him. Yet another discovery; Luke liked being licked down here. For some reason Josh loved doing so; it never entered his head not to want to do so. Luke had already passed him the bottle of lube so Josh squirted some onto the hole he was about to penetrate. He gently inserted a finger quickly followed by another. The feel of Luke's warm soft flesh inside sent shivers of excitement through Josh. It was out of this world. He probed around in the area where Luke had caused him to have erotic feelings when he'd fingered him in the hope that he could find Luke's magic spot. It wasn't long before he found it and Luke was squirming and groaning with delight. Josh then inserted a third finger and he was surprised at how easily his fingers could stretch what appeared to be such a tight hole. He pushed them in as far as he could. He wanted to explore right inside. Having given Luke a good fingering, he decided it was time to replace them with his manhood which was bobbing up and down between his legs with excitement. He quickly coated his thick shaft with lube and offered the end to Luke's entrance. Again he was surprised at how easily the organ slipped in and he suddenly found that the full length was submerged right inside. "Ah" he cried as he felt the warmth of Luke's flesh wrapping round his "that is just beautiful" he exclaimed as he slowly moved back and forth. "Yeah, sure is" Luke replied grinning, "it's gorgeous". Gradually Josh increased his pace of thrusting in and out and the more he did so, the more excitement he felt. This was so much more pleasurable than wanking himself off. The feel of being right inside another guy was the ultimate prize. "Yeah, fuck me hard Josh, I love the feel of you inside me" Luke was now saying as Josh thrust back and forth. "Yeah, this is gorgeous" Josh replied rather enjoying the use of the course sexual language used by Luke. "Oh god" Josh suddenly cried out, "I'm going to cum". "Yeah baby, fill me up with your man juice" Luke yelled back. With a loud cry of Ah, Josh finally shot his load. What amazed him was that whereas normally when he ejaculated it was over and done with quite quickly, this seemed to last for much longer and he felt more and more ejaculate spurting out with each thrust. Finally he came to a stop. He felt exhausted and for a moment all he could do was kneel there whilst still immersed inside Luke and grin at him. "Did you enjoy that?" Luke finally said. "Oh Luke, that was the most enjoyable thing I have ever done; I hope we can do this lots and lots of times." "I'm here whenever you want me my love" Luke giggled wriggling his bottom up and down. "And so am I" Josh replied, "so we are in for many more treats I think!" They cleaned themselves up with the tissues that Luke always had at the ready and settled down under the duvet to watch the rest of the porn. Eventually they switched it off and cuddled up to one another before finally slipping off to sleep. Having a hot naked guy in bed with him was Luke's ultimate goal and he just loved it. He so wished this could continue. In the morning, Josh woke to find Luke's arm wrapped round him and a hard organ pressing against his back. He loved it and wished this could happen every morning. He slowly moved Luke's hand down to his own morning erection and it wasn't long before Luke was sufficiently awake to take the hint and gently massage the organ. Seeing the lube on the side table beside him, Josh picked it up and passed it back to Luke. "Take me Luke" Josh said quietly as he lined up Luke's erection. Luke quickly applied lube and then gently pushed the head into the yielding entrance. He was soon fully inside and commenced rocking his buttocks back and forth. As he did so, he continued massaging Josh's erection which was now oozing pre-cum. As usual with his morning wood, Luke was soon spilling his load. It felt so much better doing so inside the guy he loved than over himself. Josh could feel the hot seed spewing inside him and the thought of it made his own climax reach a successful conclusion. Soon Luke's hand was filling up with Josh's cum which he then used to massage the organ some more. "Oh yeah" Josh was crying out as he felt himself eject his morning load. When they had both come to a halt, Luke giggled. "That was rather nice; so much better than the normal morning wank I have!" "Certainly is" Josh chuckled as he lifted Luke's cum filled hand to his mouth and licked it clean. "Mm, he eats cum as well" Luke giggled. "Yeah" Josh replied once he'd finished, "just love the taste of cum". Having satisfied their sexual urges for the time being, they showered and walked downstairs. Once again they opted to do so without clothes and had breakfast in the nude. "Wish we could do this every day" Josh mused as he ate his cereal, "wouldn't it be wonderful?" "Perhaps one day we will" Luke replied trying to think of some way they could in fact do just that. After breakfast they dressed and walked to the shops. They needed another pack of beer and Luke decided to buy some more red wine for that evening's meal since he didn't think his mum would be too happy to find they'd drunk all of hers! They'd often been out together as friends but this time it felt different. They were walking side by side as lovers and what would have made it even more enjoyable was if they could have held hands as they did so but even in Wimbledon that would have prompted looks. One thing Josh was certain of was that they would not bump into his father since he never went shopping. He considered that was very much the domain of the woman in the house. In any event he guessed the man would be at one of his football matches. It seemed that was the extent of his mental ability and interest. "So what you want to do now?" Luke asked once they'd got back home and unpacked the provisions they'd purchased. Josh grinned. "I see, you want more sex!" Luke laughed, "Yeah why not but since it's another nice day why don't we do it in the conservatory?" The thought of having sex somewhere more public than the bedroom rather appealed to Josh so he quickly agreed. They went upstairs, stripped off and took the laptop downstairs with them. "Might as well have some entertainment as well" Luke chuckled as he set up the laptop on a small table in the conservatory. They'd also brought with them two large towels, a couple of pillows and the box of tissues; oh and the lube of course! Having got themselves settled, they lay back and watched the porn for a while. The film now showing was of two black guys, both of whom were well endowed. "Wouldn't mind having sex with a black guy" Josh commented casually. "We'll see what we can organise" Luke chuckled as he took Josh's erection into his hand. Apart from stopping for some lunch, they spent most of the day having sex in one form or another. Luke had Josh and he had Luke. They experimented with various positions, deciding which they liked and which they didn't, although the latter number was very few! On one occasion whilst Luke was well and truly embedded inside Josh, his mobile rang. He always carried his mobile around wherever he was, although why he felt he needed it when he was stark naked having sex was not something that had crossed his mind, so he was able to pick it up from the table nearby and answer it without upsetting his rather nice position. "Hi mum, how you doing?" Luke answered having seen it was his mum calling. Josh looked at Luke somewhat aghast realising that he was speaking to his mother whilst her son was deeply embedded in him. "We're fine, will probably go out later" Luke was saying in answer to a question his mother had asked. Josh then listened to a brief conversation which from the sound of it was about his mother's conference before Luke said, "Oh, we're just enjoying the sunshine in the conservatory at the moment". Josh had to put his hand over his mouth to stop bursting out laughing. If his mother had but known precisely what her son was doing! "She sends her love" Luke said when he'd finished the call and continued thrusting in and out of Josh. "I nearly died when you casually told her we were enjoying the sunshine in the conservatory" Josh laughed. "Well, we are; I just happen to be fucking my lover at the same time" Luke replied laughing. "I wonder what she would have said had she been able to see us." "Probably, make sure you give him a good hard one" Luke replied increasing the force of his thrusts. That evening they ventured into Soho. They did manage to get into a gay bar without being stopped by the doorman but to be safe they stuck to soft drinks. Whilst they were busy reading the gay press they had picked up off the piles available, a guy wandered over to where they were sitting. Josh had seen him by the bar looking at them so he just smiled but said nothing to Luke. "Hi guys, not seen you here before" he said hovering beside them with his drink. "Hi" both Luke and Josh replied looking up and smiling at him. "Mind if I join you for a while?" the guy then asked. Josh and Luke said he was welcome to do so and Luke gave Josh's leg a slight rub as the guy sat down opposite them. "I'm Dave" the guy said offering his hand to be shaken. "Luke and this is Josh" Luke replied. "So, what brings you guys here tonight?" Dave asked smiling. "Just fancied coming to a bar" Luke replied, "we can't get into most of them" he then added grinning. "Ah, how old are you then?" Dave whispered looking at each of them intently. "Seventeen but nearly eighteen" Josh replied in an equally quiet way so that nobody around them could hear. "Mm, nice" Dave replied, "I'm thirty so legal" he added with a chuckle. "Hence the reason why we're on soft drinks" Luke then said holding up his glass of coke. "Yeah, bit of a bugger isn't it; still once you're eighteen, the world is yours" "True" Josh replied looking Dave up and down some more. He seemed a pleasant enough guy, slim and from what Josh could see when he was standing at the bar, had plenty to offer down below. "Are you local guys?" Dave then asked. "Wimbledon" Luke replied and immediately wondered whether he should have given that bit of information away. "I live in Soho just along the road" Dave replied. "Handy for all the gay bars then" Josh giggled. "And the clubs; not that I tend to go to those much these days; much prefer having fun with guys I like back at my place if you know what I mean!" "Mm, very convenient" Luke replied as he decided whether he liked Dave and whether he was trying to pick them up. They chatted for a while about various topics, including how the gay scene had changed over the last few years, not that Luke or Josh could add much experience to that topic, but it was interesting all the same. "Um" Dave then said, "hope I'm not being too forward but would you guys like to come back to my place for a proper drink and perhaps some fun?" Luke and Josh hadn't considered what would happen if they were picked up, so they had not discussed their mutual feelings on the matter. "You live alone?" Josh asked before Luke could say anything. "Yes, all alone" Dave replied smiling before adding "I don't normally pick up young guys but you two strike me as being rather nice and good company". Luke looked at Josh with furrowed eyebrows and a very slight shake of the head. Josh knew that look. He'd seen Luke use it before when he wasn't sure of something. Dave looked nice enough but there was something about him that just didn't seem right. Josh replied with the same expression and the same slight shake of the head. Luke picked up on Josh's feelings immediately so turned to Dave and said "Thanks, but no thanks". Dave was clearly surprised, and disappointed, at the response. He immediately stood up and picked up his drink. "Okay, up to you" he then said as he walked off back towards the bar. Luke and Josh looked at each other and grinned. "Wasn't too sure about him" Luke said. "Neither was I" Another young guy who'd been sitting nearby during Dave's attempt to pick up the two lads, leaned forward. "Wise move if I may say so" The other two looked at him wondering what he meant. "That guy often tries to pick up young guys like you; he tried it on me a few weeks ago and I also declined. Not sure what it is, but he doesn't quite ring true to me." By this time the guy had moved his chair nearer to Luke and Josh. "I'm Tristan" he then said offering his hand to the other two. "Hi, this is Luke and I'm Josh" "Nice to meet you guys; not seen you in here before." Luke smiled to himself. Was this another guy trying to pick them up? At least this one was nearer their age as well as good looking. "I happened to overhear you tell that guy you were both seventeen; can I buy you a real drink; it's okay if you're with someone who is over eighteen and I happen to be twenty one so well over" he said grinning. Luke had a better feeling about this guy so without actually obtaining Josh's view on the matter just said "Thanks". "A Bud each?" Tristan asked holding up his own empty bottle of the same. "Yeah, thanks" Josh replied for both of them. "And by the way, I'm not looking for anything in return!" Tristan added with emphasis on the word `anything'. "He seems rather nice" Josh commented as soon as Tristan had gone to the bar. "Yeah, now if he invites us back to his place I might be tempted" Luke giggled. "Same here wouldn't mind getting into those pants!" Tristan was soon back, with three bottles of Bud which he placed on the table. Josh noticed that Dave seemed to have disappeared, either to find a young recruit in another area of the bar or he had given up his quest and left. "Cheers" Tristan said holding up his bottle. "Cheers" the other two replied doing the same. "Tristan is an unusual name" Josh finally said to break the silence. "Yeah, think my parents had a warped sense of humour; they named my sister Isolde!" he chuckled. "Ah, Wagner fans then" Josh replied. "Mm, a man who knows his music I see" Tristan replied. "Josh plays the piano and the clarinet" Luke added proudly. "Wow, a real musician" As they drank their Buds, they talked about where each of them lived. "Yeah, I live in a shitty little studio flat but it's a home" Tristan said, "and I'm a Graphic Designer". "I'm doing a software design IT course and Josh is doing horticulture" "Wow, IT and horticulture; I'm fairly hopeless at both of those" Tristan chuckled, "I can just about use a computer for my graphic design work but when it comes to plants I seem to kill them off as soon as I look at them; my mum gave me some plant or other to brighten up my flat but it was dead within a week!" "Josh knows all about plants and stuff" "And Luke is a whiz at designing games on the computer" Josh replied wanting to emphasise that his boyfriend was just as accomplished; he designed one when he was fourteen which was so good that it was bought by a software company." "Mm, can see I'm in the presence of two brainy guys" Tristan laughed, "I hope they paid you well Luke". Luke said they had and he still got royalties from it so he'd done okay. "Good for you" Tristan replied taking another swig from his Bud. "So are you two boyfriends then?" "Yep" Luke replied taking Josh's hand and squeezing it. "And very much in love" Tristan then said. "We are" Josh replied leaning forward and giving his lover a kiss. "Lucky guys" Tristan said in a somewhat disconsolate tone. "Do you not have a boyfriend then?" Josh said picking up on Tristan's sadness. "I did have one; we were together for three years but about two months ago he decided to travel the world and went off to Brazil but I think that was partly due to the fact that he had met a sexy Brazilian who I couldn't compete with." "Ah, sorry to hear that" Luke replied and involuntarily patted Tristan's hand which was resting on his leg. "So how long have you two been together? "We first met when we were ten years old at school and have been good friends ever since" Luke replied. "Ah, but when did you become lovers?" Tristan asked smiling. "Officially" Josh replied, "yesterday but I've loved Luke ever since I first met him". "Wow, that really is something; congratulations; I just hope it lasts" Tristan replied, before adding quickly, "Sorry, I'm sure it will from what I can see". "Is it that obvious?" Luke asked with a chuckle. Tristan looked at them for a moment before answering that. "Yes, it is and it's nice so never worry about showing your love for each other; I think that's where I went wrong; we didn't show that we did enough." Luke and Josh smiled at him. They felt slightly sorry for Tristan. He seemed a very nice guy. "God, I sound like an old man don't I" he then giggled. They continued talking about this and that and Luke got them more drinks; or to be correct, he gave Tristan some money to get them on his behalf! They finally parted company at around ten thirty having exchanged mobile numbers and saying they'd like to meet up again sometime. Tristan had not once suggested they go back to his place and they certainly never raised the issue despite both becoming more and more interested in the guy! When they got home they went straight to bed. They hugged each other without having sex. The closeness of their naked bodies was sufficient and they both felt happy and contented. When they woke on the Sunday morning, Luke could hear the rain hitting against the window pane. He got up, opened the blind and stood naked looking out the window. "It's pissing it down" he commented as he watched the rain lashing down, "This weather is just amazing; brilliant blue sky and sunshine one day and pissing down the next" he chuckled. Josh had now got out of bed and was standing behind Luke with his arms round his waist. Luke moved his hand down onto his morning erection and Josh massaged it slowly. Luke felt behind him and could feel Josh's morning wood so he guided it towards his entrance and leaned back. It felt good and he really wanted it inside him but without lube it would hurt. Josh took the hint and quickly got the lube from the cabinet beside the bed. As he rejoined Luke he covered his shaft with lube and put some on his fingers. He then inserted these into Luke's hole and opened him up. Luke leaned forward and rested his hands on the windowsill. Josh then slipped into Luke and slowly thrust back and forth. "Oh my god, that feels so nice" Luke exclaimed as he felt the thick organ invading him. "Mm, lovely" Josh giggled as he gradually increased the pace. As was usual for his first ejaculation of the day, it came quickly and he was soon filling Luke up with his morning juice. When he'd come to a stop, he pulled out and kissed Luke on his naked back. Luke turned round, and kissed Josh passionately. When he was done, he turned Josh round to face the window. It was now Josh's turn to bend over and place his hands on the windowsill. Josh looked out the window and grinned. "I wonder if anyone can see us" he giggled whilst Luke continued thrusting back and forth. Finally he too had deposited his load inside Josh and having done so he pulled out and slapped Josh on his naked butt. "If they can, they'll only be jealous that they can't have a gorgeous guy" Luke chuckled finally answering Josh's comment. The day remained wet so they never went out. Instead Josh helped Luke clean his rooms since he generally did this chore on a Sunday morning. They worked naked and moved up and downstairs carrying cleaning materials, the vacuum cleaner and the dirty bed linen for putting into the washing machine. Once all the chores were done they relaxed in Luke's sitting area chatting about everything under the sun. On the Monday morning they set off for college feeling very happy and contented. The weekend had gone just as they had hoped. Since they both had lectures all day, they agreed to meet for lunch but made their separate ways home at the end of the day. When Josh got home he was still feeling the afterglow of the weekend and his love for Luke. "I can see you had a good time with Luke" his mum said as soon as he got home. He confirmed they had without of course saying what they'd been up to! As he went up to his room, he suddenly came down to earth and the realisation that soon he would have to join his parents for yet another meal where he and his mother felt they were treading on eggshells. When Luke's mum arrived home later that evening, he went straight down to say hello. "So, how did the weekend go with Josh then?" his mother asked grinning. Luke said it went fine but couldn't help looking happy as he said so. "I take it you slept together" his mother said casually, and when she realised Luke was not immediately answering the comment, added "I don't mind Luke; let's face it you're both gay so it's only natural that you would". Luke was even more stunned to hear his mother make such a remark. "What makes you think Josh is gay?" he asked without any comment about the sleeping arrangements and not sure whether he should lie or not. "Oh come on Luke, it's pretty obvious Josh is gay; you can tell by his mannerisms; not that I have any problems with that; I know you two are very fond of each other aren't you." Finally Luke smiled and moved towards his mother. "Yes, he is gay and we both love each other very much; and yes we did sleep together." He was about to add that they'd also had sex but decided that was too much information! His mother put her arms round his shoulders and looked into his eyes, "I'm very pleased for you Luke, Josh is a lovely boy". Luke then told her about the hard time Josh was having at home with his father and how depressed he was getting. "Yes, I can understand it must be hard; I've only met the man once and he struck me as being a somewhat intolerant individual". "Can I ask mum, what happened to my dad? I know we never talk about him but it would be nice to know" Luke suddenly blurted out. His mother sat down at the kitchen table and indicated for Luke to do the same. "Yes, you're right Luke, you should know about him; not that there's much to say." She then explained to Luke how she'd met what she thought was a lovely guy at college when she was in her early twenties. They'd gone out together for quite a while and eventually lived with each other. "We never got round to marriage despite my parents wanting us to but Robin never seemed to want to and I didn't push the matter. Then when I was pregnant with you he suddenly left me. He had met someone else it seemed and just upped and went." "Did he know ... you know ... that you were expecting me?" "No, by the time I was sure he had left and disappeared. I never tried to find him. I couldn't see the point, since he was clearly not interested in me any longer. I'm sorry Luke, does that sound terrible?" "Of course not" Luke replied immediately taking hold of his mother's hand across the table, "he can't have loved you anymore so even if he had known and stayed, he wouldn't have been happy so we'd have another Josh situation; but thanks for telling me mum; at least I know his first name now." His mother smiled at him and patted him on his hand, "Yes, Robin Walker was his name but I decided to keep to my own name since we'd never got married. I'll let you have your birth certificate; it's time you kept it yourself and you'll see the name on that". Luke felt happier for knowing the whole story but had no bad feelings about the situation. "That's life" he said as he gave his mother a kiss on the cheek, "I just hope Josh and I will stay together for a long time because I love him very much mum". "I'm sure you will Luke, let's face it you've known each other long enough so you should know each other's bad points by now!" she giggled before adding, "When's he coming over again?" "Can he stay over this weekend again?" Luke asked having told Josh that he would like them to have another weekend together. "Of course he can if you're both sure it won't interfere with your studies; don't forget you've got end of year exams coming up and I imagine he has too." Luke said they could work round that and if necessary both study together. With that agreed, Luke ran upstairs to call Josh on his mobile to arrange another weekend together. Josh jumped with joy when he heard and his heart thumped with excitement. At least the thought of spending another weekend with Luke would get him through the week ahead and the incessant nasty remarks from his father. Little did Josh know how his life would change before the weekend arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________ The next chapter of 'The Pink Retreat' will be available shortly.
