Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2005 23:43:11 -0500 From: dwedno smith Subject: Casey Chapters 11-12 Chapter 11, The nightmare. I was sleeping fully clothed and quite soundly when I heard Dylan come in from his night out. When he noticed that I was asleep his manner quickly changed into a quieter mode but it was too late I was already awake and quickly remembering why I chose sleep rather then going out tonight. I opened my eyes and Dylan spoke to me in a quiet tone. "Sorry I woke you Casey, I had no idea you would be asleep. Is anything wrong?" "Yeah there's something wrong as usual but if it's okay with you I would rather not talk about it now." "Sure K, I don't have a problem with that at all. You know I won't pressure you to talk. When you're ready I will still be here." "Thanks Dyl. I think I am gonna try and sleep." "That's fine with me Casey but your still dressed and you aren't trying to weasel out of that blow job you owe me are you?" I rolled over on my side and stared at him. "Sorry but I wasn't gonna let you get back to sleep easy or at least without reminding you of your duties." "Dylan, I know exactly what my duties are and right now I have chosen sleep to avoid them so nothing personal but GOOD NIGHT!" I rolled back over and tried to get back to sleep. It appeared that it wasn't going to be an immediate thing so I opened an eye and checked out the time. 1:15. Well at least someone had a good time tonight he was out with them until 1am, good for him. I had to pee and the clothes were a bit uncomfortable so I figured I would get ready for bed properly and worry about things later. "I thought you were sleepy?" "I was but now that I have to pee I guess I will get ready for bed too. These clothes aren't that comfy anyway." I got up and went about my business and as I expected Dylan was trying his hardest to get me to open up without pissing me off. He said very little just stared at me knowing how much I hated it but still I knew what he was after, and at the moment it wasn't sex it was my secret. "Are you gonna watch me pee too?" "If you want me to. Matter of fact if you want I will take care of it for you all together, if it makes you feel any better." "No that won't be necessary Dyl, I just want sleep and after I change I am going to try and get some. If I need you, you will be the first to know. I promise." After that he didn't say anything else and he went about his business leaving me alone. I changed into my underwear and got back into bed and turned my back away from the lighted side of the room and attempted to get back to sleep. I was out before I knew it. The walls on each side of the building are paper thin as proven by Ricky. I was awaken to a dark room and sounds from the room next to us. The one with Ricky and Kyle in it. I glanced at the clock and it read 4:23. I listened and it was quiet for a minute. Dylan was deep asleep as usual. Once he falls asleep he is out. I previously had to practically beat him to wake him, he sleeps well. I heard something again and wasn't sure if it was one of them having a nightmare or something else going on in their room. Curiosity got the best of me and I got up and opened the door between the rooms and peaked in. it was dark and what I heard was one of them having a nightmare. Right now I couldn't tell which one. All I heard was the rustling of covers on the bed. I stood there for a bit and watched for a clue to see which one it was that had become restless. It grew apparent that it was Ricky who was having the problem. Like Dylan, Kyle seemed to sleep deep too. I put on a small night-light so I could observe what was going on and sure enough it was Ricky. His covers were on the floor and he looked like he was trying to run somewhere by the motion of his legs. I didn't want to wake him and figured at this rate he might be up soon anyway with the dream waking him soon. I just stood by and watched. Kyle moved a little but stayed asleep so far. Then it happened. He yelled loudly and sat up in bed apparently starting to cry. I rushed over startling him even more and he took a swipe at me not realizing who I was. Finally he calmed down to the point where he recognized me and was just surprised I was there. "What are you doing in here? Spying on me now?" "No, Ricky all the noise you were making woke me up so I came in to see what was wrong." "Well I am fine now so you can go back to bed and just leave me alone." Yup, he was awake now and still pissy from earlier in the night. I didn't say another word just turned and walked out of the room quietly shutting the door behind me. I got into bed and tried to fall back asleep but I was wide awake now so I decided to go downstairs and get a glass of milk or whatever might be available at this hour. I grabbed a pint of milk out of the vending machine and sat alone in the lounge just relaxing and sipping my milk. I looked up and Ricky was standing in front of me to my shock just dressed in his pajama bottoms. Nothing on his feet or top half. He had been crying (again) and looked a bit distressed this time. "Ricky you scared the shit out of me. How the hell did you know where I was?" "I went into your room and saw your empty bed and just started looking for you. Finally I guessed you might be down here and I came down looking for you." "You're not even dressed to be out of the room though." "I don't care Casey I needed you and all I wanted was to find you and." He just started crying again. I had no idea why or what was going on but I couldn't have him wailing in the lounge at 4:30 in the morning whether anyone else was there or not. I grabbed him by the hand and we went into a small meeting room off the lounge and I sat him down and tried to quiet him and see if there was something I could do for him. "Ricky, come on boy calm down. Stop your crying will you please?!" "I, I ammmm sorrryyyy Caseyyyy but I am upset and I don't have anyone else to talk toooo." He cried some more. I was starting to wonder if I was dealing with a baby or someone with a real problem that needed more help then I could give. Finally he calmed and looked like he was going to speak. He wiped away his tears for the moment and began gibbering a little I almost made out what he was saying. Then he started to make sense. "Casey, I am sorry to do this to you and I am sorry I got mad at you and chased you away before and I am sorry I am crying so much and." I interrupted him. He was babbling and not making any sense again. "Ricky calm down. Take a deep breath and speak slowly." There was a water fountain in the room so I got him a cup of water and he began again after a few sips of water. "I am sorry about acting like such a jerk. I love you and when you said those things earlier tonight I just lost it and didn't think you wanted me around anymore so I just yelled for you to get lost. Then when I woke up from my bad dream and you were there I was scared and embarrassed and I just didn't want anyone around so I chased you away again. Then I was thinking about what a jerk I was and I decided to find you and try to apologize. You weren't in your bed so I just started looking for you and found you down here. Please forgive me?" I walked over and sat next to him on the loveseat and held him. "Its okay pal I forgive you. It will be okay." I rocked him in my arms for a few minutes and he was now calm. I knew if I kept it up he would fall asleep and I wasn't about to carry him back to his room so I got up and started to walk him back upstairs. "Come on Rick. We will get you back to bed and discuss this in the morning when we are both awake okay." He nodded and hugged me. I guided him back practically carrying him but trying to at least let his legs do some work. Finally I had him back in bed and he was out like a light within seconds of me tucking him back in. Thank God that's over, I said to myself. Now let's see if I can sleep too. Chapter 12, Day two at the beach. Apparently it was morning because all I heard was the alarm clock buzzing in my ear and I knew Dylan wasn't about to turn it off. Then it stopped. I turned over and sure enough to my surprise Dylan was up already. "What the hell are you doing up already?" "Yeah well good morning to you to!" "Oh, sorry Dyl. You surprised me by being awake already." "I guess I did. I was up at 6:30. I just woke up and couldn't fall back asleep so I showered and by the time I was done I heard the alarm going off and I tried to get to it before you woke up but, well you can figure out the rest." "So you already showered huh?" "Yeah why?" "Oh nothing, just though you might want to have a little pre-breakfast fun." "Sure, why not. You still owe me." "Yeah, I interrupted him. I know I owe you a blowjob. Well I am gonna shower and then if you look good enough to eat when I get out maybe I will have a quick bite, err I mean a quick breakfast." We both chuckled at my slip of the tongue and I headed to the bathroom to pee and shower. "Hey Dyl, want a taste of this?" "Are you still on the piss kick? No I think I'll pass for now and wait for you to clean up first." "Very funny. Wait until I get you in my mouth. You will be begging for mercy!" "Sure, sure. Been there heard that before!" "Okay, don't say I didn't warn you." I shut the bathroom door and started the shower. It was difficult to shake the morning blahs after the tension and lack of sleep last night so a hot shower really started to feel good on my back and shoulders. I had turned the bathroom into a sauna within a few minutes with the hot water flowing. I heard the door open and Dylan spoke. "Hey I gotta pee but its so frekin hot and steamy in here I don't know if I'll find the bowl." "Do what you want but shut the door man. I worked hard to get it like this in here and you're letting out all my steam." I turned around after he shut the door and pulled back the shower curtain to see if he stayed or left. He was in front of the bowl and I decided to have a little fun. I sprayed a little bit of water his way. Not enough to soak him but enough to get his attention. "Hey what the hell are you doing man I am trying to pee and your wetting me over here." He had yet to pee and I sprayed him again. "Okay you want to have fun then we will have fun." I had no idea what he had in mind but I still didn't hear the piss hit the water in the bowl and I wasn't about to peek around the shower curtain and see what was going on. Suddenly the shower curtain flew all the way open and some how he had stripped naked and was standing there in his birthday suit. "You want a piece of this smart ass. If you want to wet me I'll return the favor. Your a big shot hiding in there while I try to pee now let's see what you're made of." He came in after me and I turned the hose on him. "Ahhh shit! That's hot! You suck faggot!" He went straight for my cock, he was playing dirty and all bets were off. I dropped the hose and tried to grab him back but he had full control of me and I couldn't get the leverage without causing myself any extra pain. I was literally at his mercy until I knew what he had planned. "Ahhh, Dylan you suck. Let go of me!" "Not a chance you started this by not letting me piss and now your gonna pay in a dirty fight!" He took control of me and somehow managed to maneuver one of my nuts into his control and I was totally helpless now. He was truly fighting dirty and I could do nothing except kiss his ass right now. He brought me to my knees and let go and I realized what he had in mind. He wanted to piss in my mouth as payback. I stopped struggling and took him into me and immediately he began to pee in my mouth. I had wanted this for a while and my lover was giving me payback and a present all at once. He was right it wasn't that bad but it did have a tangy almost bitter taste to it. I drank all of him and when I was done I took a deep breath and began to give him the blowjob I owed him. He was hard instantly and moaning shortly afterwards. I came up for air for a second before continuing. "You better brace yourself because before I am done you might lose control in the knees." I went back to work as I put all 5 inches into my mouth and he leaned against the wall and grabbed my shoulders for leverage and balance. "Oh God Casey, I am getting close. Slow down I want to make it last." I slowed down and started to fondle his balls and softly squeeze his ass cheeks to add to the pleasure he was already having. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Any minute now man!" I looked up as him and the sweat was pouring off him and his eyes were closed. He had a look of need and anticipation as his head slowly bobbed front and back in motion with his gently swaying hips. I wanted to get and give him more then usual and I knew he was close so I worked a soapy finger into his ass and went as deep as I could. This appeared to put him over the edge as I continued to assault the head of his cock with my lips. I worked a second finger into him and he moaned in agreement or slight pain I wasn't sure but he was too far to stop me now anyway. I began to taste precum and knew it was almost time for the eruption. I forced my fingers deeper into his ass and gently squeezed his nuts and he let out another loud moan and started to shoot into my mouth. I exited his ass and cupped his balls slowly and softly tugging them downwards to extend the mood and hopefully the sensations he was feeling at this moment. "Oh yeah Casey suck me baby, suck me good and hard, ahhh. You are soooo good!" Shot after shot. I was taking all he gave as he continued to unload into my mouth. I swallowed as fast as I could but he must have saved up or really got going good this time. Finally he was empty and I felt his body weight shift as his knees buckled a little and I caught him before he lost his balance. "Do me in the ass, please Casey, please?" I was hot and ready to shoot myself so I did, as he wanted. He took to his knees and I soaped up my already hard cock and easily slid into his ass. He took me without a problem and moaned as my body met his. I rode him slowly and continued to keep the feelings alive as he was still moaning loudly and now almost motionless on all fours on the floor of the tub. I was all the way in him now and pounding away as hard as I could. I was starting to feel the sensation in my loins and I knew I couldn't last too much longer. As dirty as this session had become I was intent on letting my load loose inside of his tight ass and worrying about the consequences later if there were any. "Oh, Dylan. I am really close now and I am not gonna pull out of you. Hold on tight man your in for some finish any second now man!" I let it fly right up his anal canal shot after shot of hot cum blasting away into his innards I was like a dog in heat with my mate mounted hard and tight and not ready to release from him anytime soon. Finally I felt the end of my load finish and my cock start to go soft and I pulled out of his tight ass with a great suctioning sound. This of course was followed by a sudden urge for Dylan to crap and he was stuck on the bottom of the tub as his legs apparently had fallen asleep or cramped up from being in that position. I guess he couldn't wait because he let it fly right there just barely missing me with his mini explosion from his ass. It was both gross and sort of funny to see him lose control of himself after our wildest sex we had ever had. I didn't know whether to feel sorry for him or laugh at him for failing to relieve himself in the toilet. All I knew was I wasn't about to cleanup what he had just left in the tub. I did however hose him off afterwards and then I left it up to him whatever he wanted to do next. All I wanted was to make sure he could move and get up to a safe position in the tub. "Are you okay man?" "I think so my legs are stiff and I feel a little embarrassed about what I just did." "No need to Dyl, I understand and it is my fault you just crapped the tub." "Yeah, Casey but I have never shit in front of anyone before so I feel a little funny about it." "Well I promise it won't leave this room if that makes you feel any better, I doubt it does, but still pal I love you and this is our personal time and NOBODY'S business." "Yea Casey I understand but until you have been there I guess you just don't know the feeling of this." "Okay Dylan. Look if your okay I am gonna go and leave you alone then. Can you get up okay?" "No, I mean yes. I mean I can get up fine but you don't have to leave this room. I will be okay, honest Casey. I just got embarrassed when I did that. It's okay now." "All right then, you wash up and I'll get you a towel, then we can go eat breakfast." "Okay Casey, sounds good to me. I want to hit the boardwalk as soon as we can and see what's going on today. You know there are fireworks tonight." "Yeah, I can't wait I hope they are good ones." "Me either." I left him to clean up feeling a bit embarrassed myself but I figured that he didn't need to know that because it just might make him feel worse that he embarrassed me too. I just lay on my bed and watched some TV. Cartoons were on and I quickly got involved in them. About ten minutes later Dylan came out of the bathroom rapped in just a towel. "Hey." "Hey." "You okay now Dyl?" "Casey, after what you and I have done together that sex act backfiring a little is not the end of the world. I just felt funny and let you know so you don't think I ever hold back from you." He sat on his bed and I got up off mine and moved over next to him. I sat behind him taking in the smell of the soap that was permeating from his body. "You always smell great after a shower Dyl." "Thanks Casey but stop trying to change the subject. We are partner and we should share everything when it comes to our relationship." "I agree Dylan but for crying out loud we're only thirteen, lets not get into deep thoughts about what need to be done between us. If it gets out of hand at any time we can discuss it then okay?" "Yeah okay." "Dylan!?" "Okay Casey I heard you, its okay!" He bowed his head and I was directly behind him so I decided to rub his back to ease the tension that had suddenly developed in the room. He didn't make any move to stop me so I pushed him over onto his belly and slipped the towel off of him exposing him fully and began to rub him down. I ran my hands down his shoulders through the mid of his back and across his ass causing him to jump a little. I followed this pattern for a few minutes knowing Dylan would be hard as a rock underneath. I slowly spread his legs not exposing much but letting him know that he was soon in for more then just a rub. I ran down his butt and under him slightly touching his balls and causing him to jump again since he was lying with his head down and probably off mentally enjoying his rub. "Ah, Casey that was a shock man let me know when your gonna grab there." "Then it wouldn't be any fun." I chuckled and he put his head back down on the pillow. I was ready to perform one more time for him before we ate so I nudged him over revealing his rock hard cock and went down on him. I knew he wasn't gonna take long to explode and since I doubted he got off in the shower he was probably ready now. He started breathing heavier and squirming and then I could taste the precum and right after that he let out a small grunt and shot right in my mouth. I took all he had to give and was ready for more but it appeared that he must have whacked off in the shower before coming out because I barely got a third shot from him. "You wanked in the shower didn't you?" "How did you know?" "I could tell by how much cum you gave me when you let go." "Yeah I did. I wasn't sure if I would get anymore before we left and I was ready for a handjob before you left the bathroom. I just didn't think it was the right time to ask for one." "Sorry if I would have known I would have taken care of you then." "Who cares man? That was pretty awesome just then and I feel great so let's go eat huh?" "I just did." We both laughed and got up to go eat. It was a little before 9am and I figured the other might already be at the eating area. We walked over and sure enough all were there. "Morning everyone, I said in a chipper voice. How are we today?" I got looks from what have you been up to, to the standard answer of morning from the kids. "Casey it looks like you've slept well last night" Said Drew. "You could say that, Drew." I leaned over and whispered into his ear. "And we've had a great morning too!" He got the idea and nothing more comment wise was needed to that part of the conversation. Tyler then spoke. "Since we are all here I don't see any reason to take this back to the room. We might as well discuss our plans here. We all agreed and he briefly discussed the same things as were covered yesterday. We all agreed to check in once again at 1pm and this time meet at 7:30pm for dinner and then get back here to all watch the fireworks at dusk together. For some reason and I wasn't looking for one, the talk about my singing was not mentioned and I was glad. I did however find out that Kyle, Ricky, Drew and Dylan all wanted to hang together today which didn't faze me one bit. I didn't care who tagged along. I care and like all of them and we didn't have anything private planned other then maybe a few glares and comments about any cutie that might pass by while we walked around. I guess Tyler and Josh were going to stay together as they had been. They are very close and you could see it sometimes if you watched them long enough. There is definitely a bond there. We finished eating and I headed back up to the room to call home to quickly talk to my mom and then head out for the day. Once I mentioned this a few others decided it was a good idea and did the same. "Hi mom." "Hi honey how is everything?" "It's going great. I called home and you weren't there, why are you in work on a holiday weekend?" "Well, I got this last minute request for a big party that will be on Monday and I am working today and probably part of tomorrow to get it ready. This person has spared no expenses and I will make enough off of this to easily surprise you with something when you get home on Tuesday morning." "With what?" "Sorry kid but then it won't be a surprise when you get home." "MOM!" "Goodbye honey, talk to you tomorrow okay." "Okay mom, love you." "Love you too honey. Be careful and have fun tomorrow is your last day and then your leaving early on Monday night right?" "Yeah I think so, I think Tyler said we will leave around sunset and drive halfway home sleep for the night in a motel and then get up very early because he has to be there for camp on Tuesday morning. I should be home by 7am. Drew will drop off me and Dylan and then pick us back up for camp a while afterwards so I'll see you Tuesday morning." "Okay bye." "Mom!" "Yes?" "Any word from Uncle Max?" "He knows what to do Casey and he said we will let me know sometime Tuesday or Wednesday the latest. We can always meet Mr. Stubenville Thursday or Friday." "Okay bye." "Bye honey." I got up and Dylan had walked into the room during my conversation and quietly sat on the bed. He startled me a little so I punched him in the arm and ran to the door to leave. "Asshole!" >From the hall I stopped and waited for him. "No you're the asshole sneaking up on me like that." He knew he was wrong and didn't say anything. I wasn't mad at him just a little upset that he didn't let me know he was there so I didn't almost crap myself when I turned around to leave. I didn't care what he heard; he would find everything out anyway. I had to share all this with him and Drew anyhow. "Come on sneaky lets go join the others. I want to tell Drew what we just talked about anyway." "Yeah right!" We joined them at the front door of the motel and headed out to start the day. The heat hit us with a whoosh as we exited the motel. "Wow man, either way it's cool in the motel or just really hot out today. Didn't anyone tune in the weather forecast before we left?" "I guess not Casey," Drew said. I threw on my Walkman to see if I could find out how hot it was gonna be today. Within minutes I heard the weather on a local station. "Wow guys they just said we could get severe storms tonight and they changed the weather to highs near 100 today and humid. They said something about no relief at the shore because there would be no sea breeze today." "Oh well, said Drew. I think we should at least make sure we have on enough suntan lotion so nobody gets burnt." We doubled back into the motel practically running over Tyler and Josh at the front door, filled them in on what I had heard and they decided to lotion up too. Then we were off to the water rides once again. I was in a bathing suit of sorts this time and a tee shirt so I didn't care how wet I got. Drew suggested leaving my Walkman behind or risk getting it wet again like yesterday. "I don't care Drew its old and I have my good one home. I brought this just incase something might happen to it." "Okay K, I just though I would mention it to you." "Yeah, thanks Drew but I will find somewhere to hide it if I need to. Maybe if we are all together someone will hold it off the ride and if we all go on it at once I'll try and hide it somewhere." We were off crossing that street where the kid was hit yesterday. I wondered out loud how he was doing. "I wonder how that kid is that got hit yesterday, Dyl?" "Yeah he looked pretty fucked up on the ground." Said Dylan. Just then a hand smacked him in the head. "Ouch! That fucking hurts." He got smacked again. It was Drew doing it. "Cut it out!" "Quit cursing and I will. There are others around that are younger and they don't need to hear it and I don't want to either!" "Okay, sorreee, just don't smack me again!" I laughed under my breath knowing if Dylan heard me he would get all pissy and I didn't need that. I turned to Dylan after looking at Drew. "You know he doesn't like the "F" word Dylan." "Yeah I remember now! I was so used to being alone yesterday that I forgot today up until now anyway." "Well I guess you will remember for the rest of today." Said Drew. Wisely looking at Drew he commented. "I guess so man! Either that or get your hand upside my head again!" He was pissed off and now I had to deal with him all pissy for a while. I fell back out of line with Dylan and gave Drew a dirty look and a poke in the ribs. "Look if your gonna hang with us go easy on him. He knows what he did was wrong and another smack and your on your own. I don't want him mad all day because I have to hear it okay?" "You know Casey I wouldn't take that order you just gave me from anyone else." "I know but I am NOT anyone else!" He smiled and nodded. "I know, okay Casey I got ya. I'll keep my hands to myself." "Thanks Drew." I rubbed his back briefly and scooted up to walk with Dylan again leaving Drew with Kyle and Ricky. The sidewalks weren't big enough for all of us to walk together so we grouped up that way. "Thanks." "For what Dylan?" "For sticking up for me with Drew. I know him well enough to realize that he won't listen to just anyone." "Well I didn't give him much choice. I told him to back off or go alone for the rest of the day." He just smiled at me and continued walking. "You know he was right, not to smack you but to warn you to try and remember your manners in public." "Yeah I know. I forget sometimes." "Well I don't use that word that much so I don't have to think about it. You're a little bit more free flowing from the lip if you know what I mean." "Yup." We were on the boardwalk now and despite the heat of the day it was a little after 11am and the crowd was huge, not like yesterday when it was almost dead out here. We gathered to decide were to go first and of course the water rides were on everyone's mind. The line showed it too. "How are we gonna do this?" "Someone should wait online and the rest can follow up after." "I don't think so Casey, I think if they cut in line when we get up there people might get mad. Let's all just wait in line." "Okay, that makes sense." We waited and got on the ride after about fifteen minutes. It was worth the wait. The cool water felt great and we all wanted to go again but they made us wait back inline unlike yesterday when we just got back on after we rode once. All the rides were open and there were quite a few water rides to choose from. We chose them all and we were soaked and hungry by the time we were done. It was almost 1pm. "Let's check in at the motel by phone and then eat. Casey stay here with everyone and I'll phone us in leaving a message that we are all okay.' "Okay Drew that sounds good." We sat and within ten minutes Drew was back and we were off to decide what to eat for lunch. "So what do we want guys." Ideas were thrown around like crazy and finally we narrowed it down to either pizza or a restaurant at the other end of the boardwalk. We decided to get out of the heat and eat indoors at the restaurant but not until we were dry so nobody gets sick. A half hour out in the heat did it and we were soon sitting looking at menus deciding on lunch. Drew decided to buy a few lottery tickets and see how his luck was running. They were scratch offs and he spent $10.00 on them. He was down to his last one when he suddenly got this look on his face. I knew right away it was a good look. "What did you win Drew?" "Nothing." "Drew!" "Okay." He handed me the ticket. "Holy crap Drew, $500 dollars. Drew is buying lunch!" He smiled and as I figured he agreed. Drew was not a cheap person and even though I was fooling around when I said it I figured he might pay anyway. He went over and they paid him the winnings on the spot and he came back waving the cash around to our delight. "Oh man your so lucky Drew." Said Dylan. "Yeah I guess so. I have never won anything before and I bought this just to see if I could win something and sure enough it's my lucky day!" "Well it sure seems like it is. So any plans for the money yet Drew?" "I haven't thought about that Casey. I just got my hands on it. I think I might use most of it on the car. Yeah that's it I can fix a few things on the car now instead of scraping together the cash every week. GREAT!" "That sounds like a good idea Drew I know you said something about needing tires and the brakes done. That should cover most of that for sure." "Yeah, so that will be the plan. A good meal or two and fix the car." We ate and ate enjoying all the burgers and fries among a few other goodies. Drew even bought us milk shakes before we left the eatery. We all thanked him and he paid the 55 dollar bill for all five of us and we headed back out into the heat to walk off what we had just ate. We were walking for a short distance when Drew got close to me and whispered into my ear something that scared and startled me some. "Don't look behind us Casey since we left the restaurant there have been two guys following us. They must have seen me win the cash and I want to make sure that you guys are safe. Tell Dylan and all of you go off together and get help I will try and get to a safe point while you get the cops." I casually strolled over to Dylan and told him exactly what Drew told me to say. We all as directly as possible split off from Drew and headed back towards the boardwalk to find help or call 911. I told Dylan to take the other two and find a phone and call 911 with the location of where we were. I was going back to see if I could help Drew. I wasn't a big guy but I wasn't small either and I really wasn't going to leave Drew alone to handle this trouble if it came to that. I quietly approached where I last saw Drew and sure enough he called it. There were to average height guys that looked about 16-18 years old with Drew and nobody else around. They must have known this part of the neighborhood and knew this would be their chance to rob him. Now as I have mentioned in the beginning of the story chapters ago, Drew has a few years of karate under his belt and the build to match it so unless these two had a gun or knife there probably wouldn't be any problem handling them. I got close enough to hear what was going on and I could tell that they wanted the cash he won in the restaurant. Drew took out the cash and was about to hand it to the bigger of the two when I let him know I was there. They both had their back to me and I could easily distract them. As soon as he saw me he put the cash away prompting them to raise their voices and get a little closer to Drew. Just then he yelled out `NOW CASEY' and I charged the smaller of the two. Drew jump kicked the other one in the chest solidly knocking him into the wall of the building next to him. This caused the other to turn to me. I was expecting a fight or worse. He turned and tried to run away. I dove at him and tripped him up causing him to tumble into the street and up against a parked car. I got quickly to my feet and even though he was a little bigger than me I jumped on him before he could get up and started whaling on his face and ribs. He fought back and got a good shot at me nailing me in the ribs but before I could swing again Dylan appeared out of nowhere and laid a good wallop of a punch to the side of the guys head knocking him to the ground. He didn't move after that. I got up and looked Drew's way and I had to laugh as I saw him with the guy in a mercy position as Drew had him totally under control. Dylan and I walked over to the other ass hole and he was awake but dazed. Just for good measure I nailed him right in the nads causing him to let out a yelp and collapse over to his side holding his balls and trying to catch his breath. Just then a cop car arrived and two cops got out and ran to Drew one grabbed the guy he was holding and the other grabbed for Drew. I ran over with Dylan and started to yell at the cop telling him that Drew was the guy being mugged and to let go of him. I pointed to the other one on the ground and he let go of Drew and went over to grab the guy still rolling around on the ground in pain from my kick. "Are you okay Casey?" "Yeah Drew he punched me in the ribs once but I got way more on him then that. His balls will be sore for a while! I'll be fine how about you." "That clown didn't even get a chance to hit me once I nailed him into the building he was barely able to get up forget fight! How are your ribs pal?" "A little sore but like I said not as bad as his balls are." The cops cuffed both of them and put them into the back of his car. A large crowd had gathered by now and as more cops cars arrived they started to control the area pushing everyone back a safe distance. One of the cops came over and apologized to Drew for trying to arrest him and asked what happened. We gladly filled him in on Drew winning money and them following us and all of the rest. Detectives showed up and were filled in by the cops and a few more questions were asked and names were taken and so on. This went on for about a half hour and I guess the crowd caught Tyler's eye because before long he showed up with Josh asking if everything was all right. So we told the story all over again but this time of course it was exaggerated and made to sound much better then it should have. I turned to Drew and gave him a look as if to say you're such a liar and he told Tyler a little more of the truth then before. Tyler laughed and shook his head. "Well congratulations on both winning and kicking some ass. Are you sure you're okay." "Yeah Tyler I never was touched by the guy. Casey got a shot in the ribs while helping out. We need to take a look at him." "Casey!" "Yeah?" "Come over her pal I want to check your ribs." "Sure Tyler." He lifted my shirt and felt my ribs causing me to squirm and laugh. "Hey that tickles!" "I guess he's okay Drew he didn't yell just moved like a ticklish kid usually does. Casey, does it hurt at all?" "Not really Tyler, not anymore. It did when he first hit me there but as I told Drew. I hurt the asshole way more then he could ever hurt me!" "Okay great, I'll go and see if we can leave yet." Tyler walked over to the detectives and identified himself. They shook hands and he smiled and quickly turned and headed back our way. "That was fast." "Yeah the one detective is the brother of the guy back home where we live Drew. Of all the people that's unbelievable!" "What do you mean Tyler?" "Well that detective and one of my best friends back home are brothers and for us to meet again under these circumstances is really amazing to say the least." "I guess so. Said Drew. So what did he say about us leaving?" "Oh, yeah we are free to go. He knows how to reach us if needed. After all his brother Bill and I are very good friends." "Kewl! Said Josh. That's Bill's brother?" "Yeah Joshy isn't that something. You remember him don't you? That's Jimmy. He was at the police station while we were there one day." Josh looked over at Jim and then walked over towards him. They exchanged a few words and Detective Jim rubbed Josh's head and smiled. Josh turned around smiling himself and headed back over to us. "What was that all about?" Asked Tyler. "You didn't know this but while you and Bill were chatting that day, I had a nice talk with Jim and we became friends before we left the station." "Really, how come you never mentioned it before?" "I dunno. It never came up and I guess I forgot about it with everything else going on at the time." "Yeah I guess that makes sense Josh, I understand that!" While Tyler and Josh were discussing Jim and Bill I went over to Dylan and gave him a big hug for showing up just in time. I don't know if anything else might have happened but I am sure glad I didn't have to find out. That jerk was a little bigger then I was but he appeared to be a lot stronger then I though he was. I was very happy to see Dylan and the extra help really made the fight more even on our side, that's for sure! "Thanks Dyl for coming back. You might have saved my butt. I guess we'll never know now though." "Yeah Casey. I am glad we'll never know. If he hurt you I would have gone ballistic on him. As it was I am glad I didn't do any serious damage to his head. I saw him about to overpower you and all I saw was red. I ran over and well you know the rest!" "Yeah I do! You wailed the son of a bitch upside his head!!!!" He looked at me after I said that. "What?" I said to him. "What yourself." "So I cursed. In this situation it's you know. it's more then allowable!" "I know I just wanted to bust your balls a little because I rarely hear you curse and it sounded GOOD!" "Oh right Dylan! Bite me!" He looked at me and I was smiling and then we both started laughing hysterically. The tension of what just happened and our own stupid braggin had us both on the edge! Then I walked over to Drew and he put his arm around my shoulders and we all turned to walk away from there. I looked up at him. "Boy am I glad that's over. I almost shit myself when you told me to take off and get help." "I almost did too, Casey! Really, I almost did too! All the training in the world is sometimes useless when it really happens. I guess you just never know how your gonna react until the time comes." "Well I think you did fine!" He didn't say anything else he just put me into a loose headlock and kissed me on top of my head and whispered into my ear `I love you man I was never so scared in my life, I am so glad you were there!' when he let go he had a tear in his eye and I smiled as we walked away from that--- "ALMOST NIGHTMARE" Of a scene. As we walked on, the further away we got the easier it became to breath. I looked up at Drew, best friend who was still by my side (Dylan being my lover) and the worry seemed to have drained from his face. I was trying to think of something to break the silence that was beginning to take control of the moment. "Hey man let's go spend that cash on some blow jobs!" Everyone laughed, Thank God! "Yeah sure, said Dylan. Nothing like a good pipe cleaning to make you forget your worries!" We were back on the boardwalk now and I, at least felt a little more comfortable around so many people. Even the heat felt good. I stopped forcing everyone else to do the same. We had just finished eating a while ago so food was out and I was trying desperately to come up with somewhere to go that could give us all a little more privacy. The beach? Well it wasn't private but it was away from most of this mob. Nah. Hummmm??? Then of all people Ricky got a great idea and everyone appeared to agree. "How about we team up and play miniature golf?" "Yeah!" "Okay!" "Good idea Rickster! I said. Drew?" "Sure why not." We walked over to the sign and the huge arrow that pointed up some steps. Up we all climbed. It wasn't much more then one story high but it was empty and looked like fun. The view showed us the ocean and boardwalk from a different perspective and the calmness of it was just what we all needed at that moment. Since there were five of us I decided to sit out and watch the first round as the other teamed up after a little argument about me not playing. I really didn't care I had what Drew said running through my mind and his look when he said it staring me in the face. So I really didn't mind sitting on the bench nearby and watching. It gave me time to think about my singing and my pals and most of all this great weekend of joy we were all having. As usual my thoughts were short lived as I got nailed in the leg with a stray ball bringing me back to earth. "Ouch! What the fuc.. Who did that?" "Sorry Casey, it was an accident." "I should have known it would be you Ricky!" I got up and picked up his ball and walked over handing it to him. He ducked but I wasn't in a mood to act on my pain, which surprised him and me a little. I walked over to the railing at the edge of the roof and just stared at the ocean and once again became engrossed in the beauty it brought me. The next thing I knew Kyle was tapping me on the shoulder and asking me if I wanted in on the next round. "Huh? Oh sorry Ky, what's up?" "It's your turn to play Casey. I was going to sit out." "Oh, thanks Kyle your all right man." I took his club and turned towards the play area. "Okay who am I teamed with?" Dylan yelled out. "Me, Casey. Come on it's your turn!" It took a few holes but I finally settled into the game and hit the tunnel on the first shot. I almost killed everyone on my first swing. The ball hit the wood and took off causing everyone to scramble for safety. "Sorry guys I forgot this is supposed to be a soft hitting game." "Yeah right!" Said Dylan. We played and before we knew it, it was after 6pm and we were all golfed out. "Okay gang what do you say we take the next hour and a half and do whatever we want to. Drew said. Just stick close by. I mean don't wonder off to the other end of this place it's not worth it." "Come on Dyl, I hear those pinball games calling us. It's time for a rematch. The other day you beat the pants off of me. Your not gonna get the best of me on the old `Crazy eight' game again!" "Sure, Casey we'll see who wins!" Kyle and Ricky tagged along and decided to play other games in the same arcade. I don't know where Drew has gone to right now. I'll ask him later when we meet up back at the motel. I was blistering on my first turn at the game and kept the ball going for 80,000 points, which was enough for an extra free game on this one. Dylan bitched about me taking forever to give up my ball so when it was his turn he was so anxious that it almost went directly down the middle right off the initial first hit into play. He would have been really pissed off. Lucky for him he saved it and turned it into a 40,000-point ball, which shut him up for the moment. We played that pinball game and only that game until he noticed the time. "Holy shit Casey its 7:45 we better split now!" I was just about done anyway we had blown through almost ten bucks this time and my thumbs were borderline numb as it was. "Come on Dylan lets run some of the way. It's a good thing we stuck to this end of the pier and the motel is only three blocks away. We'll tell them we had to use the bathroom if they say anything." "Yeah that just might work. I bet Tyler is pissed off already!" "Never mind Dyl, come on lets go!" We ran practically all the way getting there in ten minutes flat. It was 7:55 and they were waiting for us in the lobby. "Sorry everyone we kind of lost track of time and Casey had to use the bathroom." Wow, Dylan with the immense lie! What's this world coming too? Ha, ha! Tyler just looked relieved and began talking to all of us. "Okay NOW that we are all here. This is what's up for tonight. The fireworks start on the pier at dark, which is around 9pm, and supposedly last an hour. We can eat first or afterwards it's up to all of you. I don't care either way is fine with me because I am really not that hungry now anyway." We voted on late dinner since most of us had pigged out on goodies and crap at the stands all day. So we were told to clean up and meet back here at 8:30, in about a half hour. That was fine with me because I smelled ripe and a change and quick birdbath sounded good. A few more minutes and I would have gone for a quickie with Dylan but I didn't want to rush a good thing so I didn't even bring it up. We hurried through our cleaning and a dab of cologne helped to cover a days worth of fun. We were off to see what I hoped would be the loudest and biggest display of fireworks I had ever seen before in my life. Ohio isn't a bad place to grow up but our town was dead during this holiday so anything would be a step up from the occasional firecracker or M-80 that you would hear after dark anytime during the 4th of July weekend. And of course we couldn't forget if one of the kids actually got hold of a few bottle rockets or those small pipe flares as we called them, that everyone for blocks could see if they went off in the night neighborhood sky. We arrived just in time to grab the last of the seats which really didn't matter since there was plenty of sand to lie on. I brought a blanket and decided to use it. Those wooden seats were hard on the ass and I wasn't in the mood for splinters if I was shoved into while sitting on them. It was 9pm and suddenly and out of nowhere came a thunderous boom. The crowd roared and the fireworks began. I laid on my blanket and was joined by Dylan and Ricky immediately as Ricky used me as a pillow lying on my belly gently with his head which apparently was making Kyle a little jealous because he wined for a minute about nowhere to lay down and then the fireworks began and all mouths were quiet for the moment. The only light was that from the displays of colors that rocked the sky and the only noises were the booms and the oooo's and awww's that the crowd made with every new discharge. "Wow these are awesome man!" Stated Josh. "Yeah, commented Tyler. You never see anything like this around our neck of the woods." "Why not?" Asked Kyle. "I'm not sure Kyle I guess they can't afford to pay for such a spectacular show." "Oh, I guess so." I lay there and admired all the brilliant colors and ear shattering booms that went off with practically every discharge. Suddenly all hell broke loose in the sky and it looked as if the show was coming to an end. A rapid display of fireworks suddenly tripled in succession. The booming follow-ups were louder then ever. The finale made it bright enough to see everyone around us and then the sky fell dark and everyone began to applaud and cheer, as it appeared to have ended. The mob started to file off the sands and out of the area. I stayed put deciding not to rush out with the horde of people. The others came over and I looked up at them and spoke. "You can all leave if you like I am going to wait until the crowd thins out, besides it's a great night and the starry sky looks too kewl to pass up." Neither having a reason nor wanting to give one the others decided to stay and all six of us gathered together around my blanket and took in the surroundings, which were still tainted with the smell of the fireworks powder and mixed with the ocean air smelling like smoky seaweed. It was quiet now. About 15 minutes had passed and the noise from the mass of people that were on the beach a while ago had sunk back towards the boardwalk leaving all of us alone, each in our own personal moments. No one spoke. We were all just enjoying the night. I guess our friendship and the closeness of all of us had created some kind of bond that had us all in its grips. I looked around and everyone was doing their own thing, whether it was looking out to sea, staring into the sky or nothing but lying there taking in the moment. This went on for a while before Ricky broke the silence by saying he had to pee. Of course this caused everyone to giggle and confused Ricky to the point of embarrassment. He wasn't sure if the giggles were meant at him or for what he had said. The moment was now over and we all got up together as if some outside force was controlling the whole thing. I wasn't sure if I was the only one who just noticed how eerie the last half-hour was until Tyler spoke up on the way back to the boardwalk. "Did anyone feel funny while we were out there? I mean it was quite for so long and so unusual for nothing to be said for that whole time. Especially with this group." "I know Tyler. I said. I felt that too. It was weird. We all were grouped together and just took in the surroundings without a word until Ricky spoke up. Then on top of that we all got up together and headed back without any reason, just Ricky's need for the bathroom." "Yeah Casey, that was weird but I enjoyed every second of it." Said Dylan. We drudged through the sand, back into the noise of the boardwalk and began a search for the bathroom making sure not to leave Ricky alone to find one by himself. After about a block's walk, we came to the center of the boardwalk and its largest bathroom. Ricky hurried in, as it appeared he had to go badly. I followed to keep an eye on him and use it myself. I watched him settle in at the urinal and he smiled over at me as I did the same and I could see the relief that was in his face as he peed. We met at the sink to wash up. "Wow did I need that. Another minute and I think I would've had a wet spot." "I know Ricky; I saw the face you made." He smiled and dried his hands under the noisy blow dryer. I chose to dry mine on him just to bust him. "Hey, quit it! I didn't do that to you!" "I know but I did to you, ha ha!" Almost on cue, he walked back to the sink. Wet his hands and chased after me to return the deed. I ran out of the bathroom just missing an older man who was entering with Ricky on my tail. After I got a few stores away he quit chasing me and wiped his wet hands on his shorts. "What was that all about?" Asked Drew. "Oh just some playing around." I told him. "So what's next Tyler? Back to the motel or wonder around a while longer?" "I don't know Drew. Let's ask the group. Its early still so either way is fine with me. Besides, we still have two days." Tyler polled all of us to see what we wanted to do and although not everyone wanted to return most did so we all decided to call it a day and head back. It was just after 11pm when we got back to the rooms and I decided to shower after a long day of running around, sand filled clothes and a sweaty body. Dylan must have found something to occupy his mind so being alone in the room I stripped and headed to the bathroom to shower.
