I turned, took three steps and dove into the pool. I heard Jesse's' splash as I came up for air. I dove under again and as I came up heard Dougs' voice say "Hey That looks great! Mind if I come in?" Jess motioned with his arm and said "C'mon!". Doug started removing his clothes and looked at me. "Looks like you've recovered from your breakdown, van Ryan!" He dropped his pants and dove in. "Huh?" I said, pushing my wet hair out of my eyes. Doug surfaced, laughing "Yep, word around school is that you had a nervous breakdown and they took you to the Neuro-Psychiatric!" "Oh, Fuckin' Great!!!! Now I'm going to be called 'psycho' by every one! Shit!!" I complained loudly "I'm going to have a hard time living this down!" "Oh, I don't think you'll have to live it down" Doug said smiling. "You've got half the Senior Class spooked outta their pants! Rumor is that you've got some kinda' strange power. Had it ever since you we're little. I guess we know what that rumor is all about, huh Andy?" "Oh, NO!!" I said as my eyes looked towards the sky "Everyone is going to know about the Prince now". "I don't think that would be such bad thing" Doug reasoned "I mean, no ones going to fuck with you when you're like that. They're afraid to. Think about it". "But I'm really snotty when I'm him. It's like I act really egotistical!" I protested again. "Yes, but it puts YOU in control of the situation. Besides, those of us who know The Prince kinda' think it's cool to hang out with him, ah, you I mean" Doug was sounding quite convincing. "Well, I'll think about it.................." I replied. "Hey this Pool is too cold!" Doug interrupted "You guys are crazy to be swimmin' in it. I'm getting out!" "Me, too!" Jesse shivered. "Well I ain't staying in here for my health!" I said and started for the pool ladder. "You mean your MENTAL health!" Doug said and laughed at me. Jesse shot me a quick glance as I pulled on my pants. He had a look on his face like 'Oh Crap that was close!'. "So Doug, what brings you this way before schools out?" I asked. "I'm here on a Mission!" he said turning to face at us. "Jesse, put your pants on!" he said and frowned. "Oh!" Jess said looking down at his bare body. "I was going to get a towel first!" Doug rolled his eyes and headed for the backdoor "I've got some information about Les, Andy". I chased him through the doorway and into the kitchen. "What? What is it?" I asked as I followed him to the Fridge. "They're in Hollywood, but they're not staying. They may go to San Francisco, tonight. Eric wants to hitchhike to New York, but Les wants to go join a band in Frisco". "How did you find this out?" I asked. "Gilbert told me. Les called him at lunch time, when Gilbert was home. He came and found me, so I could tell you. You gotta swear, Andy. DON'T TELL ANYONE GILBERT TOLD ON LES! He was real insistent about that, OK?" "I know NOTHING!" I replied. "Good! I'm taking a beer to drink on the way back to school. I got two more classes. I'll call you guys after I get off work at 7:00" Doug said and turned toward the front door. "Jesse! Put your fuckin' pants on, will ya? Geez, what an air head!" Doug shouted. "Oh! Uh, I forgot 'cause I was listening to you!" Jess explained. Doug just shook his head, laughing as he went out the door. "Well, I must say, you look pretty silly standing there shivering!" I said as I started laughing "Lets get you dried off and warmed up!" He followed me down the hall. I took two big fluffy robes out of the closet and said "Here, lets put these on". I turned to face him and to my suprise, he was crying! "Jess, what is it?" I asked. "I almost got us busted by Doug! I'm so stupid! It would have ruined everything!" he cried. "Hey Jesse" I spoke as I put my arms around him. "We didn't get caught, we're still safe. We just gotta' be more careful, OK? Why the tears?" "'Cause I'm really happy with you living here and I almost ruined it!" he began sobbing. I pulled him to me and tried to quiet him. We sat on the edge of the bed and Jesse cried for almost five minutes straight. When he finally could speak, he said "I'm so in love and so happy that I don't think I could stand it if you couldn't be here with me. I'm scared to be without you". I rocked him until he calmed down. Gazing at me he said "I'm sorry for crying. You must think I'm stupid". "Well I've always thought you were stupid!" I teased. "Oh. Andy! Stop It!" he smiled and gave me a little nudge. "Jess, I need to lay down" I said "Jumping in that cold pool gave me a headache". "Yeah and you need to eat more, Andy. I'll make us something" he said and started for the door "You want anything special?" he asked. "I've already got something special" I answered, getting beneath the covers. "God, I love you!" he remarked as he walked out the door. I glanced at the clock. It was 2:06. Good, I thought. Enough time for a nap before his Mom gets home at 4:30. Jesse returned and found me sound asleep. "Hmmm. The dormouse is asleep again" he whispered to himself. He decided to go watch TV and leave me to rest. I was awakened by the sound of drawers closing and rustling noises in the room behind me. "Stop being so noisy and come get in bed with me" I said, flipping open the covers to expose my naked backside. "Excuse ME?" a woman's voice replied. "AAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" I screamed, scrambling across the bed and diving under the covers. I could hear Jesse laughing AND I could hear a woman laughing as well. Oh, God! What time was it? Did I just do what I think I did? I poked my head out from under the covers. There was Mary, Jesse's mom, looking at me and laughing so hard she was almost crying. Jesse was rolling around on the floor, holding his sides and howling with laughter. "Oh, no!" I said and flipped the covers back over my head. This induced more laughter from the two. I wanted to retreat to the very bottom of the bed. I heard Mary say "Andy, you can come out now". I didn't move. "C'mon, it's OK. Andy, please come out! I promise we won't laugh any more". "Speak for yourself, Mom!" Jesse croaked and started howling again. "Jesse! Stop that! Andy, come on now dear. Let me see your face" Mary begged. "no......." I whispered. "C'mon, Andy. I brought you boys a present!" she offered. The lump under the blankets wiggled a bit. I poked just my nose out from my hiding place. "Present?......." I asked. "Yes, but you have to get up to come see it" Mary replied. I peeked out, my eyes just barely exposed. "A present?" I repeated. "Well, there you are!" Mary said holding out the robe I had discarded earlier. "Yes! Now here's your robe. C'mon and get up. We'll wait in the living room" she said and herded the still laughing Jesse out the door. I sat still for a moment then realized how funny the situation actually was. Now I began to laugh. "We hear you!" Mary called from the front room. I slipped on the robe and padded down the hall to meet them. As I reached the front room, I stopped in my tracks. "What is it?" I asked, looking at the three large boxes. "Come look in the garage" Mary said and got up to lead the way. Reaching the door, she stepped aside. Jesse said " Look, Andy! It's for us!" Leaning against the garage wall was a King Sized mattress and box spring set, still in the plastic wrap. "It's a bedroom set! But there's something even better. She got us a stereo to go with it! Isn't that Cool!" "Whoa!! Are you kidding me?! You got this for US!" I cried out. "Yes I did Andy. It's a present for you and Jesse" Mary smiled and leaned over, planting a kiss on my forehead. "Andy, you don't have to, but I would like it if you called me Mom from now on, OK?" I turned to look at her. She was smiling, waiting for me answer, but I couldn't speak. My throat choked closed. So I reached out, putting my arms around her. I hugged her tight and my tears came flooding out. "Andy! Are you OK?" Mary asked hugging me back. "It's OK, Mom. Andy's cried a lot this weekend" Jesse said "He's just like me, I told you. He's just happy!". "Is that right, Andy?" she asked. All I could do was nod and hug tighter, eyes still closed. Mary gently took hold one of my hands, Jesse quickly took the other. She lead us back into the living room. We sat down together and I curled up against Jesse's shoulder. "I guess you're feeling OK about me knowing the two of you are gay, right?" she asked. "Yes, but I was wondering why you're not mad at us" I said. "Well, Andy, that's a very good question. I'm sure you were expecting me to react like your own parents might react, true?" she replied. "True......" I whispered. "It's because I have a brother who's gay. He was treated very badly by people when they found out about his sexuality. He was just a year older than you boys are now when he was beat up the first time. By the time he would have finished high school he'd been beaten four times, once so badly he ended up in the Hospital. He didn't finish school because the courts put him in Boys Detention Center until he was 21. He had to endure a real living hell, Andy. All because he LOVED someone who LOVED him too. It was by accident they were discovered. If my parents would have been understanding and let them be who they were AT HOME, it wouldn't have turned out that way" she recalled then added "I studied Homosexual behavior at University and my Doctorate was written on the subject. You and Jesse are gay because you were BORN this way. You didn't choose it. It's just the way it is. I accept you as you are. I'm actually glad you boys were introduced so you could get together. I know you've both been very lonely growing up and............" "Huh? Wait! We weren't introduced" I interupted. "Oh well, actually, it was arranged for the two of you to meet" she said. "Arranged?" Jesse frowned "By who?" Mary looked thoughtfully at us. "OK, I think you should know this, but Andy, don't tell her I told you, all right Hon?" I nodded. "Your Grandmother arranged it" she said "Let me tell you how it happened". This was a shock! I sat up and gazed at Mary. I don't think I made a sound, I just stared. "When Jesse and I moved here last summer, your Grandma was about the third person we met. I had gone to Main Street Market to buy a few things. I was walking up one of the isles and your Grandma was coming the other way. She looked at me and asked if I was new in town. She just started a conversation. We were talking and Jesse walked up behind me. Your Granny introduced herself to Jesse and talked to him for a few minutes before Jesse excused himself and went to the bike shop, next door. As Jesse walked out the front door, your Granny said 'Your Sons a 'Different' boy, isn't he?' I was taken back a bit, but she looked at me and said 'I can tell. My Grandsons the same way. About the same age, too. If you shop on Main Street, you'll hear all about him! They call him the Prince of Main Street in this town. When you see him, you'll know it'. I asked her why they called you the Prince, but she just smiled and said 'I'll let the Townsfolk tell you that story! Maybe your Son and Andrew should meet. Andys' a rather lonely boy. Might be good for both of them, with this being such a small town. Might help if they had each other. Andy goes to the Boy Scout meetings at the high school on Monday evening. If Jesse would like to meet him, just take him there. Nice to meet you Mrs.???' So I told her my name and she excused herself to finish shopping. As I finished Jesse met me at the checkout stand. I was going to tell him about my talk with your Grandma, but before I could, Jesse said 'Hey! Look at that guy! Who IS that?!' The lady at the Market, Bess? She looked where Jesse was pointing and said 'OHhhhhhhhhh! THAT is the Prince of Main Street! You're going to hear a lot about him if you live in this town'. Jesse stared and I craned my neck to get a peek at you. I saw this skinny boy with long blonde hair crossing the street. You had this,...... this "Presence". It seemed to come from the way you walked and held your head up and ..well, you just looked like a Prince! Jesse was in awe. He said 'Did you see that, Mom? That guy just stopped traffic!' In fact, all the cars coming down the street had stopped and the people inside were staring at you. Jesse had continued on, saying 'And look! EVERYONE is staring at him! Who'd you say he is?' Bess repeated 'He's the Prince of Main Street! His full name is Andrew Simon van Ryan. He's youngest boy of the oldest family in the town. That was his Grandmother you were talking to in the second aisle'. Jesse asked Bess if you were a real Prince and she said 'He is in this town! Every shopkeeper on the street knows him and he has this strange power that............oh., well they say he's got supernatural powers, but it's just a superstition!' We watched you cross the street and walk up around the corner. You know, Andy. Every single person you passed stopped, turned and watched you walk up the street 'till you were out of sight!" "Yeah, that happens a lot" I started giggling. "You DO like being the Prince, I knew it!" Jesse poked at my sides, making me squirm. "When we got out to the car, I asked Jesse if he'd like to meet you" Mary continued. "What did he say?" I quizzed her. "He said No". "WHAT?!" I cried, turning to look at the giggling boy behind me. "Jesse thought you wouldn't like him" Mary replied "He figured you must be the most popular boy in town. So I told him how your Granny said that you were a very lonely boy, with no real friends. Jesse wondered about it in silence all the way home. Later that day, he asked about you saying 'Do you think he might be like me Mom? Could that be why he's lonely? Do you think he likes boys? There is SOMETHING different about him'" "I remember saying that!" Jesse chimed in. Mary smiled and continued "I told him that unless he met you, he'd never know and if he DID want to meet you, I knew were he could do just that. Jess hadn't got a good look at your face, so he wasn't sure if he could recognize you at the meeting" Mary was saying as Jesse interrupted "I almost didn't! You were sitting on the floor holding your knees together with your arms folded. Until you looked right at me I didn't think you were. Then when you looked directly at me, I flipped out! Your face was the EXACT face of the guy I dreamt of in my mind! I almost ran out to the car to tell Mom, but you were staring as if you expected me to sit down and talk to you". "I WAS expecting you to talk to me!" I remarked "I don't know why, but I remember looking into your eyes and thinking 'he's looking for me, hey I'm over here!'. You walked right over and sat down". "So Andy," Mary continued, "Jesse couldn't stop talking about you from that night on. I knew he was falling in love. Then you came home from school with Jess for the first time. Watching the two of you, I knew it wouldn't be long before you realized you were in love with Jesse. I told him to be patient and let you make the first move. Jesse already knew he liked boys, but you didn't quite know what you wanted, Andy. I could see you were scared of your feelings". "You can say that again! And scared of my Dad finding out! He would really flip!" I emphasized. "I know that" she said "It's the way a lot of people feel about gay boys. I recalled what my brother went through as a teenager. I thought about the boys at the Hospital. You see Andy, where I work is in the Psychiatric ward. Some people are so terrible to their own sons! We get boys sent there all the time just because they're gay! We tell the families they're not mentally ill, they're born that way and most of the time the families refuse to believe it!" she sighed "So I came up with a plan. A plan so the two of you could be happy, safe and together. A plan that would keep you and Jesse from ever being lonely again and to keep anyone from becoming suspicious". Mary smiled again at the two wide-eyed boys seated beside her. "Now, there are going to be some rules you boys will have to keep, otherwise you can't be together, OK?" Mary sounded very serious now. "Rules?" we asked in tandem. "Yes, rules!" Judging from Marys response our disappointment must have been showing. "First, no public displays of affection, like hugging or sitting too close together. Things like that. OK?" We nodded our approval. "Second, no "inside" jokes or sly remarks in front of others. People aren't dumb. They'll catch on faster than you think they will. No teasing in public as well. Thirdly, you have to appear to the other kids as being 'normal'. So if you want to go to a movie or a school dance for example, you have to find dates. GIRLS". Hearing this, we both started to protest. "Mommmmmm!!!!! Jesse whined. "EEwwwwww!!!!" I intoned as I wrinkled up my nose. "Really?" we asked, again speaking in stereo. "Yes, I'm sorry, but this part is VERY important. If you two don't date girls, people will get suspicious quickly. Then the trouble would start. I couldn't take it if one or both of you ended up in the hospital or dead. It's that serious boys! So you have to promise me. You will go on dates with girls, OK?" I looked at Jesse and he looked back. We decided without having to speak. "OK........ we will" I answered for both of us. "And under NO circumstances let ANYONE else know! If someone asks you, even if you trust them, SAY NO! Andy, this means even your Mother can't know. I don't have to warn you about the rest of your family, do I?" "What about my Grandmother?" I asked. Since she had suggested Jesse and I meet, I expected she was OK with it. "No, Andy. She knows, but she's uncomfortable with it. She wants you boys to understand and not talk to her about it. I think you should respect her wishes". "She said a couple things to me on the phone today and you're right, Mom. She was real uncomfortable, but she said she loves us to be careful" Jesse told her. "Well then, you heard it from her. She loves the two of you, but she would prefer NOT to talk about it, OK?" Mary said to us. "That's OK with me, I love her and wouldn't want to upset her" I asserted. Jesse added "She got us together, so whatever she wants us to do, we'll do!" "Andy, dear?" Mary turned to me "Jesse told me Les and Eric ran away. You're going to be staying with us all week, then?". "Yep, If you don't mind, that is....." I was almost inviting myself. "Of course it's all right! How's your family dealing with this, Hon?" she asked. "Well, my Father sounds OK, but Mom's ready to kick Les' butt!" Jesse giggled at my remark. "Hmmmmm... that's probably not the best way to deal with it. Did they call the Police?" Mary asked. "No, but Larry did" I answered. "Oh, well! Larry would! If you boys want to see what's wrong with Eric, just look at Larry!" Marys remark sent us to the floor with laughter. "That's for sure!" we replied in stereo. "What is this?" Mary demanded "have you two been practicing answering in unison?" "No........" we answered, doing it again The result was hysterical laughter and the holding of sides. "OK, let's get back to the subject" she stated "I would guess your folks think they're protecting you from Les. I know he turns on you when he's angry. Les is a case study in repressed feelings, Andy. He's a very troubled boy. Part of my inviting you to stay here was so you could open up and talk about how you feel. Anytime you want to talk about anything, you just go ahead and speak up! Oh, which reminds me." Mary said and looked directly at me. "Andy, please don't take this wrong, Hon, but we're going to need to work on that lisp of yours". "Oh, YEAH!" Jesse and I shouted together as we jumped to our feet. Mary looked at us like we'd lost our minds. Jesse spoke as I positioned myself in front of them. "Listen to what we figured out!" Jesse gestured at me and said "Take it away, Your Highness!" Instantly, the Prince spoke..... "Mrs. Dahlinger, your son Jesse pointed out something this afternoon. While Andrew has a very pronounced speech impediment, I Do NOT! However, this evidently has been overlooked my those around me until your son noticed it today. Therefore, I believe in the future I shall have to assume the duties of communicating for Andrew!" With that said, I took a bow. "Oh, my goodness Andrew! You sound wonderful!" she cried. Both Jesse and Mary applauded me! I smiled broadly and sat down, wiggling in behind Jesse. Mary was still clapping. "Oh, Andy, I'm in shock! I never noticed it before but you don't lisp when you talk that way. Not at all! You sound like you might be English or Irish maybe, but that's much better than having that lisp! I'm so happy for you! You're too big now to have a lisp. The older you get the more trouble it could cause you! That's so great, boys. See, you really can help each other. This IS going to work out, I think!" "Yeah, but I told my Dad I was going to have to stay here on Thursday nights now" I said. Mary stared at me for a moment. "I think I must have missed something" she said. "Oh, I told my parents I wanted to take speech therapy and that Jesse would help me with the exercises, but I would need to stay here one extra night a week!" I told her. "Well, you can stay here that extra night every week, but you WILL practice. I won't have you lying to your Folks. If that's the deal you made, that's the deal you'll keep, OK?" "Oh, I really meant it about therapy classes. I'm going to go. I'm actually getting tired of people calling me Slyvester". I splattered the last word as I said it. Jesse looked at Mary, trying hard not to giggle. It was too much for Mary. She couldn't help herself and burst out laughing. Jesse followed suit, doubling over and holding his stomach. "Hey!" I snapped "I'm not trying to be funny!" This put the two of them on the floor. I was turning bright red with embarrassment. "Stop it!" I whined and put one of the big sofa pillows over my head. The laughing became howls. I thought they were never going to stop! After dinner we went to work. It took about an hour and a half to get the bed set up. The dresser, end cabinets and the matching stereo system took up almost the entire room. "Wow! Look at how big that bed is!" I said to Jesse. "You two are going to need a big bed. I've noticed you've gotten taller in the last two months Andy" Mary remarked "We wouldn't want you to end up with your feet sticking out. You have grown a little, haven't you?" "I was only 5' 1" last April. My Mom has measured my height every year on my birthday. She marks it on the wall. When I started school in September the Coach said I measured 5' 7". That's an inch a month" I replied. "Oh, shit!" Jesse swore. "You're probably going to be 6' 5" and I'll still be 5'5". I'm gonna look like a shrimp..........." he trailed off into his thoughts. "OK, boys! It's time you were in bed! Remember, I'm getting you up right at 6:00am!" Mary said and clapped her hands together. "Hurry up and get to bed now! And DON'T stay awake! You need to sleep, so no fooling around!" "Mommmmmm! It's a new big bed!" Jesse whined. "And It'll be here when you get home from school tomorrow!" Mary interupted him. She closed the door behind her and we stripped off our clothes. I was first into bed. The new sheets seemed rough on my naked skin. Jesse slipped under the covers on his side. Laying next to me, he put his head on my chest. "This is so cool! I love you, Andy!" Jesse whispered. "I love you, the Prince loves you and we both love you!" I giggled. We lay quiet for a few moments "It seems like a whole new world now, Jesse. Everything is changing so fast. The last week has turned my life over, under, sideways, and down. If I didn't have you, I'd have gone crazy" I said softly. "No, you wouldn't have gone crazy! You already are!" he giggled. "I must be to get in a bed with you, Mr. Pervert!" I laughed. "Boys! Go to Bed! It's Late!" Mary called. "OK, let's not get her Mad at us!" I whispered. "Goodnight, Jesse" "Goodnight, my boyfriend! I love you" he responded and kissed me. We snuggled in together and within minutes drifted off to sleep............. The next morning I was kind of quiet. I wondered what the other students would say about the events of the previous day. We didn't have to wait long to find out. After checking in at the office and getting our excuses approved, We walked onto campus just as the bell rang. As the other students began the trek to their classes, we were noticed. Others passed us with silent stares, especially the seniors. "What's this about?" I asked Jesse. "I don't know" he replied. "I feel like we must be lepers or something!" he continued. My stomach was starting to get tight when a familiar voice called from behind us. "Hey, where you guys been?" it was Doug. He had his friend John Leith with him. "Hey, Doug! What's happening?" I started. "You are Andy. You are! The word is that you have "Strange Powers", boy! What do you say to that?" Pulling myself up as straight as I could I answered "Well of course I do" in the Princes best manner. John stopped "Whoa! Were did THAT voice come from?" "See!" Doug said "I told you it was true!" John had never encountered me as the Prince. Doug knew the Prince from as far back as second grade. Now Doug was getting a kick out of seeing people react. Jesse asked "What's the word on campus? Are we being talked about?" "Oh, just a lot!" Doug continued. "Andy, if you and Jesse work this right everybody will do exactly what you tell 'em. They think you guys are into Voodoo or something. But I set 'em straight." "Oh, No! Not again!" Jesse and I moaned in tandem. "I told them that you were born with it and that Jesse's the first person you ever met that has it too" Doug continued with a grin "So, you're the Supernatural Two, from now on. How bout it Prince? Could be a real advantage for you!" "Well, It's not exactly supernatural, but perhaps it could work for us" I thought out loud. "Geez!" John exclaimed "That voice gives me the willys! What happened to your real voice?" he said staring at me. "This IS my real voice" I replied. John stepped behind Doug. Doug found this quite funny and said "See? Being the Prince may be the best thing that ever happened to you." The rest of the day I was stared at as I walked from class to class. Jesse and I only had English together during seventh period, so I was on my own until then. I found it was fun trying out the Prince on my unsuspecting teachers. Only my Drama teacher failed to notice. I reasoned this was due to the fact that we were reading from a script and he probably thought I was affecting an accent. The rest of my teachers looked at me in ways that said they had heard the rumors already. Suprisingly, none spoke directly to me about it. In English when I was asked to stand and read aloud, the rest of the class began to whisper. I silenced them all with one sweeping glare. I paused, then continued the paragraph. I finished, closed my book and sat down. The teacher was silent and openmouthed. "Is there something else?" I asked shaking her out of a daze. "Oh, ah.....Why, no Andy! That was wonderful, thank you........" she stumbled her reply. She was rattled by the change in my voice, in my attitude and in my demeanor, not to mention my silencing the rest of the class. Jesse leaned forward and whispered "That just got you a full point higher grade!". Using the Prince as Andys voice was actually becoming fun! Maybe it would work in my favor, I thought. I couldn't wait for classes to be over. Doug had offered us a ride home and I wanted to hear what new rumors he had heard. "Aren't you the talk of the town!" Doug said as we approached his car. "Get in. I'll give ya the details on the way". We hopped in and Doug burned the tires exited the parking lot. "I've been laughing my ass, off! You should hear all the rumors about you! NOBODY can figure out how your voice changed. I set 'em straight on that! Told 'em you could talk like that since you were little, which IS true! I didn't have to make it up!" Doug announced, skidding through a yellow light. "I've heard every theory you could imagine! The best part is that everyone is afraid to ask you about it. They don't want you mad at them in case you DO have supernatural powers!" Doug started laughing. "I think you're getting a bigger kick out of this than anyone else Doug!" Jesse giggled. "You bet I am!" he replied "Serves 'em right for all the years they picked on Andy". This was something I had failed to consider. Never again being 'picked on' had great value. Additionally, keeping people a little distant from Jesse and I would make it much harder for them to figure out our secret he sped away. "I'll race you to bed!" Jesse smiled at me. "I've been thinking about it all day!" We were off like the wind. Jesse fumbled the key in the door, finally getting it open. I sped past him, tearing off my shirt. Down the hall and onto the bed I ran. Jesse landed on top of me and pulled at my jeans. "I've been so horny, listening to you talk like that! Good thing the teacher didn't ask me to stand up and read. I had a hard-on that wouldn't quit!" "You still have one!" I exclaimed pulling his fly open. We wiggled out of the rest of our clothes and started kissing and feeling each others cocks. "Go down on me, Jesse!" I commanded in the Princes voice. It's effect on Jesse was immediate. He took my hardened rod in his mouth and began to work it in and out. "Let me at your cock! I want you!" I commanded. He complied by turning in our favorite "69" position. I sucked him in and began rolling my tongue around the head of his swollen cock. He grabbed the base of mine with his hand and began jacking me off while he sucked. I grabbed his ass cheeks in my hands and I massaged his tight little butt. I felt his orgasm begin to issue forth from deep within. My response was to fill his mouth with the first cum shot of the afternoon. I pumped each spurt, feeling a jolt through my legs. He responded with shot upon shot of his hot cum, firing into my mouth. He tasted so good to me that I barely gave him time to recover before shoving my mouth up and down over his shaft again. He did likewise and before long both came again, each filling the others greedy mouth with white love. He and I alternated kissing and making out with sucking each other off for over three hours. If the phone had not rang, I'm sure we would have continued 'till comatose. Jess ran to the phone and answered "Hello? ......Oh, yes, he's here......" I heard him. "Andy! It's your Grandma!" he called. I bounded out of bed and ran naked down the hall. "Hi, Grandma! What's up?" I answered. "Hi, Andy" she began "I just thought I'd let you know that the Police picked up Les and Eric. They're in San Bernadino. So, they're going to be there until Larry goes to get them tomorrow. Just thought you should know, Hon". "Oh, OK. Does Dad know yet?" I asked. "Yes Andy. How are you boys doing?" She asked me. "We got homework to do. Then we're going to practice some new songs" I replied. "OK!" she replied "You boys take care now. Goodnight!" I hung up and frowned. "Goodnight?" I said looking at Jesse. I peeked through the kitchen window and indeed, it was almost dark. "C'mon race you back to bed!" he shouted. We spent the rest of the evening in our new bed, listening to our stereo and talking about our future. In-between some lovemaking, of course. That Thursday I started speech therapy which replaced my eighth period gym class. I explained to the therapist how I had developed the Princes voice and demonstrated it to him. He thought it was a good start. With practice I would become less self conscious about speaking he asserted. The hardest times in the following weeks were those days I stayed at my parents. I only spent Monday night through Wednesday night there. I thought of being with Jesse the whole time. Being away from him made me sad. To my family I still appeared a lonely boy. I knew different. When each Thursday afternoon rolled around, Jess and I couldn't wait to get home. We'd run straight to our bedroom and spend hours making love, each telling other how much we'd missed them. We kept practicing music on weekends, getting better as the weeks past. Jesse helped as I practiced the Princes voice. I was soon speaking that way all the time, without thinking about it. At school we viewed with some suspicion, but some of the guys liked hanging around us ( I think they liked the way the Prince would say outrageous things and get away with it!). I found myself becoming popular! Jesse loved this new attention. He started affecting a bit of a "Princely" attitude in his voice. It only added to the growing 'mystery'. Days became Weeks and Weeks became Months. 1967 gave way to 1968. Jesse and I spent most of Christmas vacation and New Years together. My parents took us to our second home in Skyforest one weekend. We shared the downstairs bedroom, but behaved ourselves (mostly out of fear!). Time seemed to fly and before long Spring arrived. We accompanied Mary to a beach house she rented for the Easter week vacation. My life was about to change again......... ............Soon to Be Continued
