Kaleb's Daddies Chapter 2

I wasn't really sure what had just happened with Daddy, but I didn't
feel weird about it. It felt strangely natural and loving. We just
laid there together for the longest time before I spoke.

"Daddy? Do you think I can go out with Jake sometime?" I asked in a
quiet voice, tracing my finger in slow circles on his chest.

"No baby, you're not ready for that. You don't know how guys can be."
He pet my head.

"Please? You can meet him and everything. He's a nice guy," I was not
giving up so easily. Daddy got quiet for a few minutes. I thought
maybe he was just done with it. He didn't like to say no twice.

"Ok, invite him to dinner some night and we'll get to know him, but if
Papi and I don't think he's good for you, that's it, no whining, ok?"
Daddy sighed. I squeezed him really hard and said thank you about
twenty times before jumping out of the bed and going down the hall
naked to the computer. I called him down to turn it on and log in for
me and then sent Jake an email.

I asked him if he would want to come over for dinner some night and
meet my family. I didn't know how he would respond to that, but it was
the best I could do.

I was so excited all day thinking about Jake. I went with Daddy to run
errands and we met up with Papi for dinner. That night I got ready for
bed and then went into the dads' room and crawled into bed between
them as the movie started. I put my head on Daddy's chest and snuggled
into him.  Things felt right.

Sunday morning I checked my email and Jake wrote me back, he was
really excited and didn't care if he had to meet my parents. He said
not to worry, everyone's parents are weird. He said he was sure my mom
and dad were nice people and he was great with parents. I kind of
laughed at that. Which one was my mom? I don't think either of them
are very feminine. They're not stereotypes.

"Daddy! He wrote back!" I pounced on the bed between the dads causing
a less than receptive welcome. Daddy pulled me into him and hugged me,
trying to go back to sleep but I kept wiggling and yelling at him.
Finally he got out of the bed and went to read the email.

"Uhh baby? Kaleb? You didn't tell him you have two dads?"

I shook my head. Daddy laughed.

"Well, we'll see what happens! Invite him sometime this week, we'll go
out somewhere."

Wednesday night, Jake showed up at our front door a few minutes before
7. I had spent the last two hours getting ready. I had on a little
white tank top with a see through coffee button up shirt over it and
white pants. I had on a few little leather wrists ties and a shell
necklace around my neck. My hair was perfect, I smelled good. I was
really excited for my first date.

Jake looked amazing. He had on a green t-shirt with a white long
sleeve shirt underneath, cute jeans that made his butt look so perfect
and his hair was a little messy, flopped over like he had just run his
fingers through it and it landed perfectly. We just stood there,
smiling at each other before he moved in and hugged me.

"You smell really good, and you look really cute." Jake whispered,
then backed off, noticing my dads coming towards him. He scanned them,
trying to figure out which was the dad; he chose the white one, which
was right.

"Hi sir, I'm Jacob. It's nice to meet you," Jake reached his hand out
to Daddy who took it and shook it.

They did the nice pleasantries then we all went to sit in the living
room, never really introducing papi or what the situation was. Jake
seemed a little unnerved and kept looking around for my mom. It was
funny to watch.

"Ok, I hope you're hungry! I got us reservations at Azin for 7:30 so
we better head out." Daddy said, standing up.

"Oh, uh ok!" Jacob said as we stood up, he put his hand on the small
of my back and walked a half step behind me as the four of us went out
to the car. Daddy and Papi got in the front seat and Jake and I got in
the back then we headed off.

"Where's your mom?" Jake whispered as we got out onto the main street.

"I don't know, she doesn't talk to us."

"Oh... who's that?" Jake inquired, pointing a finger quickly at Papi.

"That's my dad."

"Oh... who's that then?" Jake asked, pointing a finger at Daddy.

"That's my dad." I giggled. Jake registered a look of surprise and
then nodded, going "Oh! So... they're...?"

I nodded. Jake smiled and shook his head. He settled into the seat and
put his arm around me. I saw Daddy give a worried look in the rearview
mirror and I shifted uncomfortably in my seat.

Azin was the trendiest new restaurant in the gayborhood and the dads
knew most everyone there. We sat at a great table and everything was
just perfect! Jake was so nice and so cute and so sweet. He kept
staring at me with a goofy grin and held my hand under the table for
awhile. He made very intelligent conversation with the dads and I
could tell they both liked him. It was so neat!

After dinner we took a walk around the gayborhood, stopped in a little
bookstore and kept running into people who knew the dads. Daddy
introduced Jake as "Kaleb's friend." Hopefully he meant that I could
see him again.

When we got home I gave Jake a hug goodbye. He kissed me on the cheek
sweetly and then I went in and got ready for bed. Daddy and Papi came
in to kiss me good night and tuck me in.

"So??" I pried, overflowing with goofiness.

"We like him, he seems nice, maybe a little too old for you, but
nice," Daddy said. I couldn't believe he didn't find some flaw and
dismiss him.

"Really? Can we go out again? Maybe Friday?" I was practically
bouncing in my bed. Daddy agreed and said we could all go to the party
they had planned on Friday night. It was a red party, not sure what
that meant other than everyone was wearing red and it was going to be
in a top floor office downtown. Weird!

I emailed Jake before I went to bed and told him how cool it was to
hang out with him and everything. I really hoped he liked me. It would
totally suck to go through all this and get nothing.

Friday night Jake showed up at our house wearing red addidas pants, a
tight red tank top, Red sneakers and a red zippie hood. I had on a red
t-shirt, some red leather pants (Daddy had gotten them for me), red
converse and a red ribbon around my neck with some red wristbands on
my arm. The dads were still getting ready upstairs.

Apparently Jake liked my outfit because he scanned the room and,
seeing it was clear, picked me up and gave me a kiss. It was
unexpected but I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around
him. He was such a good kisser, not that I had much to judge by, but
he had his hands on my bottom, holding me up into him. We quickly
broke it off, worried about getting caught and went to sit down and
wait. Jake sat down next to me and put his arm around me. I was so
nervous and squirmed a little in his arms.

The dads came down wearing matching black suits with red shirts and
red silk ties. Jake straightened up and then stood up nervously,
giving them both a wave and a nod. I gave them a weird look. Why were
they dressed so nice?

"Oh, um we have to look respectable tonight, we're hoping to finalize
two deals!" Daddy piped up.

The party was really cool. It had all kinds of gays of all ages and
colors. The music was thumping. It was an empty office space, a whole
floor. It had a great view of Dallas and all the city lights going on
for miles and miles.

The daddies went to socialize and Jake and I went to dance. He was
such a good dancer, not as good as me, but he wasn't afraid to bump
and grind me. It felt really good to be in his arms as all the older
guys watched us jealously. We spent a good hour on the floor.

Finally Jake dragged me off. He was dripping and had taken off his
sweatshirt. His little muscles looked really hot. We hung out on the
patio for a while with water bottles watching the city. Jake came up
behind me, pressing me against the patio wall. He had his arms on
either side of me and his face came over my shoulder, turned towards
me and kissing playfully on my neck.

"You're so cute," he smiled, biting softly on my right ear. It tickled
but felt really nice. I loved how his breath felt on the back of my
neck. It was such a totally different energy than Daddy. I guess I
kind of judge guys by that. With Jake I didn't get that same safe and
protected feeling, but I really like him.

"You like this?" he whispered to me, moving his hand to my tummy and
traveling up my shirt, rubbing slowly across my chest. I nodded,
closed my eyes, and got lost in his energy. His other arm slid around
in front of me, holding me back against his chest as he kissed and
nibbled on my neck.

Suddenly the thumping music from inside the building stopped. It
jarred me back to reality and I quickly scanned around for the
daddies. No sightings.

"Karaoke will be starting soon! Pick your songs now please!" came a
loud voice from inside the building. Jake jumped a little, excitedly.
"Oh dude!! Let's do it! I frickin love karaoke!"

"Uhhh no, I don't even like TALKING in front of people, much less
singing!" I replied.

"Uhhhh come on baby! (HE CALLLED ME BABY!!)" Jake prodded, "It'll be
awesome! Don't be nervous, I'll do it first, ok?"

I agreed, with a faked smile, knowing I would NOT be getting on stage.
Jake dashed back inside and thumbed through the books. His face was
lit up like the skyline behind me. Looking excitedly through the
songs. Finally he picked one, turned it in and then came back out to
get me. We went back inside and got drinks and Daddy and Papi came
over to us.

"You're doing karaoke?" he looked at me disbelievingly.

"No! Jake is." I affirmed, stepping closer to Jake's side as he put
his arm around me.

First up was a chunky older guy who did a version of "I touch myself."
It made everyone want to touch the off button, but he seemed to enjoy
himself. Jake was up next, doing a song I had never heard of, Rolling
Stones' "Start Me Up." I kind of recognized the intro. Then he started
dancing around. He had obviously done this before. He stared at me the
whole time. I was totally blushing, the lyrics were kind of dirty and
Daddy looked a little uncomfortable at this, but he sure drew a crowd.

All the older guys crowded around whistling and stuff. I got a little
jealous but I knew he was singing for me, dancing around. Then he took
off his shirt and threw it at me. It was so funny and kind of turned
me on. The older guys in the crowd went nuts. He was dancing around,
sliding his hand down his chest and into his track pants. It was so
cute and he looked silly singing the lyrics, "You make a grown man
cryyyyyy," since he's a teenager. When he finished, everyone went nuts
clapping and Jake bounced off the stage and lifted me up and then
kissed me.

"That was SOOOO good!" I told him when he set me down. Daddy smiled at
us like he thought it was sweet. It was the first time I felt approval
from him.

"You have to go next! Did you pick a song?" Jake said happily.

"Uhhh not right now, maybe later?" I stalled.

Jake seemed ok with this, for now. Daddies disappeared back into the
crowd. I had to go pee and Jake wanted to go with me, so we went in
search for the bathroom.

The men's room was huge and very nice. A few guys were hovering around
the mirrors, probably hiding out from someone or waiting for someone.
Either way I went to go into a stall to pee and Jake followed me,
securing the door behind him.

"Umm I have to pee," I asked him, eyeing for him to go.

"Me too! You first!"

"No, I can't with you here. You'll see my... you know."

"So! You saw me shirtless!"

"It's not the same..."

"Ok ok, I'll show you my cock too!" Jake laughed and began to slide
down his track pants, showing some cute red briefs.

"No no! we can't." I laughed, getting embarrassed.

"C'mon baby," jake slid his hands around me and pulled me into him,
kissing me. He worked the zipper on my leather pants, opening them up
and then he pulled at the waistband of my briefs (also red!).

"No no no no," I laughed, "We so can't do this, Daddy would kill you."

Jake didn't respond, he slid my briefs down and turn me around so my
ass was rubbing against his pants. He grabbed my cock and pointed it
down, waiting for me to pee. Lucky for him, I couldn't hold it anymore
and began to unleash a stream into the toilet. I was so embarrassed,
but something about the way he held me and his attitude made me feel
like it was ok.

"Good boy," he whispered into my ear, chewing on it a little.

I giggled and luckily finished my stream. Jake started pulling on it
slowly which got me excited and it quickly began to grow in his hand.

"So you ARE gay," he laughed and kissed my cheek, using one hand to
jerk on my cock and the other to rub my tummy. He was so sweet and
gentle with me. I melted in his hands. I felt his cock harden and poke
into my back.

"You're hard!" I told him as he kept slowly jerking on my cock.

"You do that to me baby, that's yours," Jake replied. He let go of my
cock and turned me around again. I started to go down, wanting to suck
his cock, but he stopped me and squatted down in front of me so he was
face to cock with me. He grabbed my cock again, jerked it a few times,
and then dove onto it. I got so sensitive and it felt so incredible as
he swirled his tongue around my cock, sucking it deeper into his
mouth. His hands traveled around and grabbed onto my ass, kneeding the
cheeks and pushing me further into him until he had his nose touching
me.

His hands worked my ass and then he pulled the cheeks apart, tracing
his finger over my hole. I shivered in his grip. I put my hands on the
back of his head, holding onto him so I wouldn't fall over. I stared
down as he stared up. Our eyes locked and I forgot I was in a public
restroom filled with people.

It felt so good that I couldn't keep quiet and kept yelling "uhhh" and
breathing really heavily. I heard the talking outside the stall began
to stop and saw shadows moving closer to us. One guy yelled out "Fuck,
him good!"

Jake pulled off my cock and yelled "Fuck off grandpa!" then went back
to my cock. I didn't know how much longer I could hold out. He was
milking it and working his finger inside my hole. I felt conflicted.
Half of me wanted to face fuck him hard and the other half wanted to
ride that finger. It was two sources of immense pleasure battling for
my attention. Then I felt one side get much stronger.

"Jaaakkkeeee, I'm going to cummmm," I whispered, trying not to give
the old men anymore of a show.

"Cum for me baby, cum in my mouth," Jake pulled his lips off my cock
and pumped it with his hand, encouraging me to let go and release it.

"Uhhhh, fuckkkkk yessss," I started shooting into him, he latched on
to my shaft with his lips, milking every drop out of me. The tip of my
cock rubbed against the back of his throat, my eyes rolled back into
my head and the world went blank as I lost control. He took his hands
from my ass and held my hips firmly in place, sensing I might fall
soon.

In the middle of it, I laid my head back and looked up and saw
something that made me freeze. Daddy was staring down over the side of
the stall. He didn't look angry or happy, disappointed or proud, he
just stared.

"Fuckkkk Uhhh.. DADDY!" I yelled.

"Yeah baby, who's your daddy!?" Jake yelled, thinking I was talking to him.

"No, no," I pushed Jake off my cock, his lips covered in spunk.
"Ummm..." I backed away from Jake and pulled up my briefs and pants.
Daddy just stared. I quickly zipped up my pants and scrambled out of
the stall, pushing past Jake who stood up, hands covering his cock as
he slid his briefs and track pants up.

"Wait outside baby boy," Daddy told me, coming out of the stall next
to us. "I need to talk to Jake for a minute."

I nodded and quickly went outside the restroom, sitting down on a
bench in front of it. Papi saw me and came to sit down next to me.

"Everything ok Kaleb?" He put his arm around me. "You smell like sex....
Oh you didn't!"

I started to cry. I was worried that Daddy was in their beating up
Jake. I was worried that now he would definitely not trust me. I
nodded and Papi hugged me.

"Oh baby, you're not ready for that. Your Daddy is going to freak
out." Papi said.

"He *sniffle* knows *sniffle* he's  *sniffle* in there." I said. Papi
pulled me into him.

"It's ok Kaleb, he's a smart man, he knows what he's doing." Papi
assured me. We waited there for what felt like an eternity for them to
come out. Everytime the door opened I looked, not really wanting to
see either of them.

"Ok, let's go," Daddy said, coming out of the bathroom and putting his
hand on my arm to lift me off the bench. He had Jake on his other
side. Jake looked ok, not a scratch on him. I didn't dare ask, I was
just glad he was able to walk. Daddy escorted us out to the car, Papi
followed, with a hand on my back.

I slid into the backseat, not sure if I should look over at Jake. We
pulled out of the parking garage and sped towards the interstate. Jake
reached over and put his arm around me, pulling me across the seat so
my head went into his chest. I looked up to see if Daddy was looking.
He gave me an approving nod in the mirror.

"You ok?" I whispered to Jake, "What you talk about?"

"Yes baby, everything's great. Don't worry about it," was all the info
he gave up. I wasn't satisfied with that.

"Am I in trouble?" I asked him, hoping he would tell me something.

"I doubt it!" Jake laughed, "You want to come over tomorrow night and
play video games with my friends? Yeah?" Jake rubbed my back and
kissed me as I nodded yes.

I had no idea what had happened and no one was going to tell me. I
decided to ask Daddy later and just enjoy the moment. We got home and
Daddy told me to say goodnight to Jake as he and Papi went into the
house. Finally we were alone, standing next to his car.

"WHAT HAPPENED??" I implored him.

"Nothing baby, he just wanted to make sure that I care about you and
if I ever hurt you he'll neuter me. We just made some agreements. You
have a great father. I wish my dad were half that cool. He's just
worried about you and I promised some things. Things are ok, don't
worry about it."

He was being SO mysterious, but the little voice in my head told me,
"Shut it Kale, don't mess this up, just be happy that things are ok."
So I just said, "Ok," and he held me close, kissed me hard, and then
sent me back to the house with a pat on the bottom. He stood at his
car, waiting for me to go inside, then drove off.

Daddy came into my room that night as I was finishing in the shower.
He went over to the toilet and started to pee as I stepped out. I
walked behind him and grabbed my towel off the rack, not knowing what
to say.

"You like him?" Daddy said, looking over at me.

I nodded and wrapped the towel around me. "Yeah... He's so cute and nice
and he really likes me a lot!"

"I can tell, I see it in his eyes when he looks at you... I'm ok with him."

"Really? Can I go to his house tomorrow night for video games? I'm
sure his parents will be there!" I asked.

"Yes baby," Daddy said, "He already asked me. We had a good talk and
cleared some things up."

"Like what? What did you talk about?" I prodded.

"Don't worry about it," Daddy said, then tucked his cock back into his
pants and then went to wash his hands.

He came over to me as I dried off my body and took the towel from me
then wrapped me in it and worked it up and down my body. "Mike is
going to take you tomorrow night and supervise things. You be a good
boy, ok?" He kissed the top of my head as I nodded.

I brushed my teeth and then slipped into a pair of briefs and then
Daddy tucked me into bed. Papi came in and kissed me good night and
then they went off, turning off the light and closing the door. A few
minutes later I heard them doing their thing. I laid there for a good
hour or two just thinking about things with Jake. I hope he really
likes me enough to overcome my weird parents.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mike walked into my room about 6 on Saturday afternoon. I was so
excited and bouncing around, but he didn't seem all that happy for me.
He sat on my bed and thumbed through a magazine, nodding his head when
I talked. It took me awhile to figure out that he wasn't all that
happy about things.

"What's wrong?" I sat down next to him.

"Nothing.... You ready?" Mike looked at me expectantly.

"Oh... I'm sorry Mike... I didn't think that maybe you had something else
to do tonight. I'm sorry. They make you drag me around everywhere like
you don't have a life and a girlfriend and everything. I'm sorry." I
put my hand on his leg and he flinched a little.

"No Kale, it's not that. Your dad totally asked, he said if not then
he would get someone else. I told him I wanted to go with you and I
was happy you're able to go out and stuff. It's... it's nothing... let's
go." Mike started to stand up.

"No," I begged, holding on to his arm to drag him back down. It didn't
work and instead, he lifted me to my feet. "Please tell me. I..." I put
my hand on his chest and he crossed his arms, putting his hands over
mine. "I feel like you're sad and you're... you're like the brother I
always wanted."

I looked up into his eyes and he stared down at me. Mike was the only
straight guy I have ever been close to and I felt like I hurt him
somehow.

"It's cool Kale, let's get going, k?"

We got to Jake's house a little after 7. It was a cute suburban house,
really different from my noisy neighborhood. Jake picked me up and
twirled me around when he opened the door. He walked us back to his
room where a video game was blaring. Three guys were stretched out
around the floor battling each other and various demons or monsters or
whatever.

They didn't look at all gay, they were around our age, maybe like 17
or 18 and acted like straight guys, yelling and laughing as they
slashed their way through the level. They invited Mike to grab a
controller and he joined right in, cutting off some blue killer
thing's head within two seconds.

"So this is your room?" I asked Jake, still holding his hand.

"This is where the magic happens!" he laughed, then kissed me on the
cheek. I blushed a little and looked at the other guys, but they were
either too absorbed in the game or not at all shocked at two guys
kissing.

Jake followed me as I lead him by the hand around his room, looking at
his pictures and medals and trophies. He was such a dude. I had never
seen a regular guy's room.

"You're a boy scout?" I asked, picking up a picture of him and other
boys dressed in the tell tale uniform.

"Yaps, want me to start your fire?" he joked.

We settled down on his bed, leaning against the headboard and watching
the game. Even though he wasn't playing, he was just as into it as the
other guys. I slipped off my shoes and curled up next to him. Jake
slid his arm around me and I put my head against his chest, feigning
interest in the killing spree.

"Oh!" "Woah!" "Fuck yeah! Take that!" The guys kept yelling as they
hacked, punched, zapped, and shot their way through the game. It made
me laugh, but part of me wished I could enjoy that kind of stuff. I
was kind of jealous. I wasn't raised with those things and they never
really interested me. I was just happy being in Jake's arms. Mike
seemed cheered up by the game and the male bonding. After about an
hour, and the soothing beat of Jake's heart against my ear, I began to
fall asleep, laying my arm across his chest and snuggling into his
side. He was rubbing my side and I just drifted off.

"Hey, wake up!" Jake shook me gently and I stirred. The sun had gone
down outside, so I must have been asleep for at least an hour. I
raised my head and saw the room was empty, just me and Jake on the
bed.

"The pizza's here. You fell asleep? You didn't like the game?" Jake inquired.

"No, no, I was just enjoying being held."

"Aww, you're so cute baby." He leaned down and kissed me, "C'mon,
let's go eat!"

Jake led me by the hand out and to the kitchen where Mike and the
other three guys were crowded around a table with pizza boxes and soda
bottles.

I sat between Mike and Jake. Mike was getting along really well with
the other guys, who I was finally introduced to. Two of them were
dating each other! The other had a boyfriend who was out of town. I
was so surprised! I guess in my world gay guys act... gay. They were
just like Jake, only nerdier.

Mike pulled a plate from the stack and put it in front of me, then
picked the pepperoni off of a slice, put it on my plate, and then took
the pepperoni for his own pizza.

"Oh! I didn't know you only like cheese," Jake said.

"No, I like all kinds of stuff," I tried to act nonchalantly.

"Nah, he only eats cheese pizza, and he doesn't drink soda too much,
usually Sprite if you have any," Mike interjected with a mouthful of
pizza, not even looking over at us. I shrugged. Jake jumped up and
went to the fridge and dug around for a few minutes before yelling
"Got it!" and rushing back to give me a can of 7up... close enough.

I was kind of embarrassed, but then thought how weird it is that Mike
knows so much about me. Jake set the can in front of me and went back
to his own pizza. We finished eating and then cleared the table. Jake
brought out poker chips.

"Joo play the cards?" Jake asked in an exaggerated mobster-type accent.

"I don't know Poker," I admitted.

"Ahh, then we'll play for money!" Jake laughed, "Don't worry baby,
I'll teach you."

We played a few hands, I didn't really get it, before Mike announced
that I had a strict 11pm curfew and we had to go soon. That put a
damper on the game, but I wasn't going to argue since I didn't want
Mike to get in trouble. Plus, I had already lost most of my chips
(Mike had amassed a pile!).

Before we left, Jake pulled me aside and kissed me for a few minutes.

Mike seemed to fall back into his bad mood as we were leaving. He
still wouldn't tell me what was wrong, even though I prodded him the
whole way home. We pulled up to my house and the dads were still out
for the night.

"They'll be home later. I'm going to wait with you, call your dad when
we get inside so he won't worry." Mike instructed, turning off the
engine and unbuckling his seatbelt.

I went inside and did as told, leaving Daddy a voicemail and calling
from the kitchen phone so he would know I was home. I wandered out to
the living room and found Mike flipping TV channels. I sat next to him
and snuggled into his side. He slipped his arm around me and held me
against him.

"You have to go get ready for bed soon," he broke the silence and
rubbed my hair.

"You're going to put me to bed?" I asked.

"You want me to?" he asked coldly.

His question kind of stung me and I got up, intending to just put
myself to bed.

"Wait, Kale," Mike flipped off the TV and jumped up. "Sorry, I'll come
with you."

"What did I do?" I turned to ask him, feeling close to tears.

"Nuh... nothing, why?"

"You're acting like I hurt you or someone hurt you or I did something
mean and I don't know why." I sniffled, looking at his chest, knowing
if I found his eyes I would probably cry.

"No... well... I just don't know how I feel about you and Jake and...
nevermind, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

"You don't like Jake? He's so nice and he really likes me. He's not
pressuring me to do anything. I thought you would be happy for me," I
said, sounding as confused as I felt.

"I am! I like Jake, he is good to you and respects you. I just..."

"You just what?"

"I just"

"WHAT?"

"I love you... ok? That's all." Mike put his hands on my shoulders,
rubbing gently, then hooked a finger under my chin and lifted it so we
were eye to eye.

"I love you too. You're always there for me. So why does that mean I
can't go out with Jake? I don't get upset that you have a girlfriend."
I still didn't get it.

"No, Kale. I... I love you." Mike stared at me with a look that didn't
hope for much.

"Like... love love?" I asked, still not sure.

"Like... this," Mike leaned in and put his lips to mine. His hands
traveled up and rested on my cheeks, holding my face to his. I had
never been kissed like that from him. He was way more experienced than
Jake, but I felt instantly guilty, then got lost in it, then wandered
back to feeling guilty. What the fuck was going on with me? A month
ago everyone thought I was a baby. Now I'm up for grabs?

"I... I gotta... go get ready for bed." I dashed upstairs and took a
shower, then turned off the lights and got into bed. I laid there for
a really long time, not sure what to think. Mike popped his head in to
check on me. I closed my eyes, pretending to sleep. He hovered over me
for a few minutes, then leaned down and kissed me softly on the lips,
whispered "Good night kale," and left.

I heard the daddies coming in a little later; they too came into my
room, kissed me on the cheek and then went to bed, leaving my door
open. After I heard them play and then settle in for the night, I
crept out of my room, across the hall, and pressed my ear to their
door. I heard light snoring and pushed the door open, they were
cuddled up.

I crawled onto the bed in between them, putting my head on Papi's chest.

"What's wrong baby?" I heard Daddy ask from behind me, sliding his
arms around me.

"I don't know. I feel weird." I said.

Daddy sat up and turned on the light.

"What happened?" Papi asked, sitting up and pulling me up into his lap.

"Mike..."

"What? Mike did something to you?" Daddy asked.

"He kissed me, and told me he likes me." I looked down into my lap,
not sure how this would go over.

"What??? Woah!" Papi said, "Do you like him??"

"Niko! That's not important, He's a baby, Mike's a grown man. He had
no right to do that!" Daddy said angrily, fire growing in his eyes.

"No Daddy, don't get angry. Mike's a good guy. He just cares about me,
that's not the point. I just... I feel like everyone wants something
from me." I looked up into Daddy's eyes when I said that. The fire
that was there turned to a look of shame. He didn't say anything for
awhile, but put his hand to my cheek. I looked down, not able to look
him in the eyes.

"Don't worry baby, you don't have to do anything with anyone if you
don't want to. Ok?"
