Copyright 2002 by billwstories Chapter 13 - Kudos and tension. March 2002 Dustin's birthday was at the end of April, so I called him a few weeks before that to see how he wanted to celebrate it this year. I suggested we could all come to see him at college, go out to eat, and give him his gifts there, but he said that wouldn't be necessary. He told me that having a birthday was no big deal and it might be best for us to wait until he got home for summer vacation, and then just do a little something, nothing big. He also explained that he wouldn't really have the time to party that late in the semester. He would be in the middle of many things by then, as his school year would be drawing to a close, and he would have a great deal of studying to do, some papers to write, and a project to submit. I told him I understood and that we'd call him on his birthday to send our wishes. He said that would be fine, and then I asked him if he wanted me to do anything special or send him anything to make up for our not being with him. He said he'd be fine and would enjoy the delayed party even more, once he could actually relax. I agreed with him on that point, so that's what we planned to do. By the end of April, Trey, Dion, and Sammy had all became very involved in what they were doing, dragging me into it to watch them perform and give critiques. They spent most evenings and quite a bit of time on the weekends rehearsing their parts, wanting it to be perfect when it came time to put it on tape. Dion and Sammy got personally involved in their roles, realizing that there was more to this than just acting in a play. They were making a statement, a very strong statement, showing that labeling every member of a group the same way is wrong and that prejudice has no place in this world. Even though the video was only going to be shown to a select few, they felt that if they could get this message across, it might make life a little better for everyone. In order to make this production look authentic, we took a four-day weekend and traveled to South Carolina, taking some of the cable company's production crew with us to do the taping. During this trip, we videotaped the supposed accidents that put each of the main characters in the ocean, showed their struggle to get to the island, and then we taped all the scenes that needed to be done on an ocean or beach setting. One of the guys on the production crew was from Long Island, so he showed Sammy had to dig clams, so he could teach that to Dion for the video. That guy also taught Sammy how to catch crabs, so he could do that during the taping as well. After that, we had both boys put on the last of their costumes, so we could film their rescue from the island. Trey had cast me to play the ship's captain, so I donned the appropriate naval uniform, and we used a few locals as extras, to fill out the rest of my crew. I learned later that they actually thought this was going to be an actual movie, which might see on television or in the theaters later. I'm not sure WHO or WHAT gave them that impression, but we did try to dispel it, even though they acted like we were just trying to mislead them or something. When we got back home, we filmed some of the other scenes on a small sound stage that the cable company used, and other scenes were filmed in the fields around our house. One of my friends even did some 'landscaping', on his own initiative, to make the area fit the description of a Pacific island. It wasn't perfect, but it would pass, and he also showed the 'survivors' how to construct their temporary shelter, when the time came. There was one very emotional scene that was filmed in that structure, where the American awakes one evening, only to see the Japanese pilot moving slowly toward him, gripping his knife in one hand. He thinks the pilot is going to try to kill him, and very slowly he grips his own knife, getting ready to defend himself and kill his attacker. He's nearly ready to leap up and stab the pilot, when he realizes the guy isn't focusing on him, but something near him. When the pilot makes his move, it's to stab a snake instead. The snake must have found its way into the shelter and slithered near the American. The pilot knew the snake would strike and bite the American, if he moved suddenly in his sleep, so he concluded he had to eliminate the threat. Now, realizing that the pilot had probably saved his life, and then thinking about how close he had come to nearly killing this guy for his efforts, he went through a period of severe guilt, about how he had interpreted his actions. After that, he spent a great deal of energy trying to make up for how badly he had misjudged the situation and his lack of faith in his fellow man. This catharsis was the primary turning point in the play, where the two really began to trust one another, and the boys pulled it off nearly flawlessly. Another emotional scene took place on the rescue ship, when the Japanese pilot was being treated very poorly as a captive. He had been tossed in a cell, treated shoddily by the crew, and he was now afraid they were going to kill him before they got off the ship. When the black sailor finally realized what was taking place, he came to the pilot's rescue, trying to get the others on the ship to understand that this was the man, not an animal. This was the guy whom he had survived with and now considered a friend. He insisted that everyone treat him with the same amount of respect they'd expect to be treated with, if they were the prisoner, and that he would personally deal with anyone who harmed this man, no matter how slightly. He even stayed in the brig with him overnight, to calm his friend's fears and keep him company. In doing this, Dion and Sammy showed the level of trust and understanding that had developed between these two men, even though they still only had limited verbal skills to communicate with. This was all coming together quite nicely. By the end of April, when the last of the scenes had been filmed, they were ready to move on to the next phase of this project. Dion and Sammy had now finished their part of the job, but Trey still had to work with the editing group, to make sure he got exactly what he wanted to appear to others who viewed this tape. After working very hard to get the right effect, he had a finished product, ready to be turned in for his grade. He gave a copy of the script and videotape to both of his teachers, as they would each mark his effort independently. Actually, it would only be the script that would be graded, as the videotape was to be used for only the class presentation portion, which was to account for just a small part of the grade. Actually, the video was quite well received by both classes, so both teachers were anxious to show it to all of their classes. In fact, they had a special showing of it after school, for any faculty members who wanted to see it too, and then the next day Trey received several nice cards telling him how much some of the various teachers or students had enjoyed it. He came home after school and shared these cards with his actor-brothers, because they deserved some of the credit too. Later that evening we also received a few phone calls, where the caller would compliment Trey on the fine job he had done and tell him that this was something that should be shared with more than just a small portion of the school. He would thank each caller, even though he was caught somewhere between being embarrassed by all the attention and bursting with pride, and then he would share each conversation with Dion, Sammy, and me. I was very proud of their accomplishment. This little episode even brought Dion and Trey a little bit closer, as it gave them something they could take pride in, having done it together. When they went to bed later that evening, they were so pumped from all the accolades they had received, that they were just glowing and feeling great about themselves. Trey thanked Dion for having taken part in his project and for making the video such a success, and Dion thanked Trey for letting him have the chance to play such a strong and wondderful role. After this they began to kiss, trying to show each other the gratitude they felt, in a very intimate fashion. Of course things escalated from there, heating up even more. Now the boys slowly undressed each other, making sure to show their love and appreciation to every part of the other's body by stroking, kissing, licking, or sucking every piece of flesh they uncovered. By this time they were both in a highly aroused state, so Trey positioned himself on his back, pulled his legs back to his chest, and offered Dion his most intimate prize. Even though Dion had expected this to happen, there was still a twinkle in his eye when he realized what he was being offered, and he was determined to show Trey all the love he could muster. After positioning himself for entry, he eased his way inside, with both of them feeling the love the other was offering. Trey felt that sudden fullness, more so with Dion's oversized pole, but he loved the feel of his lover's rigid, yet soft tool once it was fully seated inside of him. He could sense the warmth emanating from his partner's love muscle, almost searing the moist lining of his channel, but he looked forward to the friction that would soon follow and the glancing blows of the penis head against his prostrate. He pulled Dion closer to him, covered him in kisses, embraced his upper torso, and then he encouraged him to continue, which Dion was happy to do. Dion, on the other hand, loved the feel of the warm, smooth tissue of Trey's love cavern, as it enveloped his above-average phallus and gripped it like a soft, velvety glove. Trey's anal muscles would continue to relax and then grip his appendage as it withdrew, and this process would continue over and over again, as he thrust it in and out of his love tunnel. This action would slowly milk the juices from Dion's loins, like a bottle being drained of soda, but the release would be more like a geyser erupting, rather than a gradual draining. Eventually Dion would reach his sexual climax, pumping the results of their lovemaking deep inside his partner, leaving them both with a glow that would last long after the actual act had been completed. It was this love that kept them both strongly committed to each other, even though other temptations would cross their path, from time to time. Once he had experienced his release, Dion brought Trey off too, not wanting him to go unfulfilled. He would use both his hand and his mouth to bring Trey even more pleasure, until he savored once more the sweet taste of Trey's seed, like a scrumptious dessert after a magnificent main course. After this session ended, both boys fell asleep in each other's embrace, knowing that they had enjoyed more love in this one outing than many people get to experience in an entire lifetime. Over the next few days, word about Trey's project spread around the community, and the local cable access channel asked to have permission to show the video on the community channel, in several different time slots. They even offered to run commercials about its airing, so it would attract a sizeable audience. I guess between the scuttlebutt from the members of the production crew, who had helped film this little venture, and suggestions from various faculty members, who had also seen it, the cable company felt it would be a worthwhile venture to present it, so more members of the community could watch it as well. Regardless of the reason behind this, all of this was quite nice for Trey and his actors, to get this much recognition for what they had done. It was also a major feather in Trey's cap and would look great on his college application, when it was time for him to start applying. Aside from Trey and Dion's romantic interlude, after their recent recognition, there was another couple in the house who were growing closer as each day passed, and that was Kevin and Vinnie. Since Vinnie had moved in with us, Kevin had become his constant and devoted companion, going out of his way to spend time with him and do whatever he could to help him. Besides spending his afternoons working out beside Vinnie, he would spend equal amounts of time massaging Vinnie's muscles and helping him with his studies, so you seldom saw one without the other. It was almost becoming a joke around the house, as the boys would ask, "Has anyone seen Kev-Vin?" By now it was obvious to everyone that Vinnie was definitely gay, and it looked as if Kevin had finally found his partner for life. Vinnie was equally devoted to Kevin, but none of us believed it was out of just gratitude or a sense of obligation. This relationship was definitely built on admiration and love. You could see it in the way they looked at each other, the way they spoke to each other, and the way they touched. You could see it when they were working, when they were playing, or even when they were asleep, because one was always cuddled around the other. I felt relieved that Kevin had finally found someone who could help to make up for the pain he felt when he lost Dustin to a girl, Nick to almost any guy in pants, and Brent to the hereafter. He deserved to find someone like Vinnie and to be this happy, and now it had happened. The reason I knew this relationship was going to last was because it wasn't built solely upon sex. That doesn't mean they didn't have sex, but that the sex was not the basis or foundation on which this relationship began. It all started with two boys who enjoyed each other's company, had many things in common, and cared as much, if not more, about the other than they did about themselves. Over the years I had offered my older children, and then the boys, one major piece of advice, and that was that you had to have a great deal in common with someone to give a relationship a chance to survive. The reason for this was simple. As we grow older, we also grow and change in other ways, and not everyone grows in the same way. If you don't start with a great deal in common, and then grow in different ways, the gap that forms can often be the size of the Grand Canyon, rather than a small gorge. That's what would cause people to end relationships or leave each other, because they no longer had enough in common to keep the relationship afloat. I knew these two were starting out on solid ground, so this relationship should survive for a very long time. In their case, the sex was just the icing on the cake, not the meat and potatoes of the relationship. Their evenings together weren't just wild nights, full of unbridled sex, but hours filled with their slow, passionate expressions of love. Maybe I should give you an example, to show you what I mean. The night after the second run in with the boy who had attacked Trey, after the kid had vandalized our car, Kevin and Vinnie spent time trying to calm Trey and the smaller boys. Trey and the younger boys were worried that this boy would get out of jail and try it again or someone new would come along to take his place. Once Kevin and Vinnie had helped reassure the others that we could handle any problem that came along, as long as we did it as a family, they went to their room to go to sleep. They hadn't planned on anything happening that evening, but they began to cuddle as usual, and they were complimenting each other on what they had said or the way they had said it. They would make the other feel that no one else could have gotten the message across in quite the same way, constantly stroking the other's ego, but not without reason. They would point out how masterfully they had handled the situation or they would comment on how they had focused on just the right point to ease their brothers' concerns. It was truly a mutual adoration society. This would then lead to more cuddling, and then to some kissing, but not the aggressive kissing of a couple in heat. This was the 'take your time and enjoy the moment' type of kissing, where they would relish the taste and feel of each other's lips, not even using their tongues until all the other techniques were savored and explored. Once they had spent a sufficient amount of time at this sensory oral exploration, they would move on to other parts of the body, using a very similar technique. Over time, this pair had touched and explored each other's body frequently, having exchanged massages, back rubs, and other similar contacts many times before, but now they took this one step further. Now they used all of their senses to do this - beginning with examining each other with their eyes, then smelling their strong boy scent, not quite that of a man, then tasting the other's distinctive flavor, as their tongues searched the surface and various intimate areas, followed by touching those same soft and responsive areas with their sensitive fingers, and then ultimately listening to each other express their appreciation through the soft sighs, moans, and other expressions of appreciation that would escape their lips. These two not only enjoyed stimulating each other with their hands and mouths, but they seemed to have two favorite positions when it came to sharing the ultimate act of love. Sometimes they'd prefer to sit on their lover's erect shaft, slowly impaling themselves on it and then doing all the work, just letting their partner lie there and enjoy the ride. This was when the receiver would control the action and do most of the work. They had both practiced using their anal muscles, learning to relax them as they were lowering themselves up that fleshy skewer, and then being able to tighten them, so they could grip the blood-engorged muscle as they rose back up. This would almost simulate the sensations they'd feel, if they were able to use their hand and mouth to work the penis at the same time, as they got to feel nearly the same kind of pressure they'd enjoy from the grip of their fingers, yet at the same time duplicate the warm, moist interior of the mouth. The thing that made this so special was the fact that they did all the work to bring their partner bliss, thus allowing him to relax and enjoy the ultimate orgasm. At other times they would do the work themselves, to show their partner how much they cared. When this happened, they would imitate the missionary position, with one of them on their back and facing the other. In this position, the person who was doing the giving would be controlling the action, but this position would also allow them to kiss as they made love. When using this position, they would usually explore the rest of the body first, before they got ready for penetration, then they would loosen the other sufficiently, line themselves up, then enter slowly, so as not to cause their partner any discomfort. Once they were fully seated within, they would begin a slow pelvic grind, by withdrawing almost completely, before thrusting back in again, burying themselves to the hilt. They would use long, slow strokes to please the other, rather than the short, rapid strokes used by those who were mostly trying to please themselves. They might also place a pillow under the other boy's hips to give them a better angle to hit the prostate, so they could give their lover added pleasure. At other times they would just alter their own body position slightly, changing the angle of their penetration to serve the same purpose. They were both learning how to go slowly, to delay ejaculation, and prolong the tingling that radiated outward from their groins, as they inched their way up that mountain and then exploded in a release of hot body fluids. No matter which position they used, once they were finished they would not just pull apart and go to sleep. They would continue to cuddle and hug afterward, continuing to express their love through prolonged embraces, and they would also still continue to kiss, touch, and stimulate other erogenous zones, as sort of a warm-down period to their love making. I guess Kevin had learned a great deal from his previous partners, incorporating all he had enjoyed with them, and then he passed this knowledge along to his newest partner, to their mutual benefit. As April reached its final few days, an unexpected visitor also popped into our lives. It all began one afternoon, when the boys were at school, and a woman came to our door. I was the only one home at the time, and I had no idea about who she was or what she wanted. After questioning her briefly at the door, she insisted that she had an important matter to discuss with me, so I let her in and took her to the living room where we could talk. "May I get you anything?" I asked, trying to be a polite host. "Perhaps a cup of coffee, a soda, a glass of water, or possibly a snack of some sort?" "No, thank you. I'm fine, just a bit nervous. You really don't know who I am, do you?" she asked, with a puzzled expression on her face. I'm sure I looked even more perplexed than she did, as I searched my memory to see if I could conjure up a spark of recognition. Was she a former student, someone my wife or I might have known, or could she be a friend of one of my older children? I eventually realized that the last choice was the least likely, as she appeared to be older than any of my biological sons or daughters. "No, I'm afraid not," I finally admitted. "I apologize if I should know you, but memory is one of the first things that go with age." I added that to bring a little levity into the conversation, but that comment didn't seem to amuse her. "Don't worry about it," she reassured me. "I know we have never met in person, but I thought that possibly you still might have seen my picture or been told of my description. But then again, I guess I really don't know what I thought would happen, but that doesn't matter any more." I sat there looking at her, noting something familiar about her, but I just wasn't sure what. I hoped that she would soon take the opportunity to enlighten me about her identity, at least before too much more time had elapsed. She stopped there, lost in thought, so I thought it was up to me to bring her back to the matter at hand. "I beg your pardon," I said, breaking her train of thought, "but I still don't know who you are. Might you care to share that information with me?" This brought her back to the issue at hand, but now she was the one who looked puzzled again. "Excuse me," she said, apologetically, "it's just that I'm so nervous. I realize that I probably don't have any right to come her and ask you this, but I know I must. I just won't be able to live with myself unless I get this matter settled." Now she looked at me, as if she were waiting for a response, however I hadn't heard any questions and she hadn't said anything that would require a response. Instead, I decided it was time to stop beating around the bush. "Excuse me, but I think maybe we should back up and start over again. Why don't you begin by telling me who you are and why you're here?" She nodded her head as I said this, as if she were agreeing with my suggestion, so I paused to let her fill in the blanks. "Yes, you're right. I'm sorry. My name is. well, it's Melissa Van Cott. I'm Cole and Graham's mother." Now I must have been the one who looked as if I were in shock. I suppose my mouth must have fallen open and my eyes probably bulged from their sockets, as she made this announcement, and now my mind whirled with a thousand questions. Why did she show up now? What did she want or what was she after? These were just a few of the questions that invaded my thoughts. Now I carefully looked her over, noting her features, and then I realized that glimmer of recognition that I felt before was because Graham shared a great many of her physical attributes. Actually they looked better on him than they did her, as now she looked hard and older than her years, probably caused by the years of rough living she had indulged in. "Well, I guess what I should ask next is, why are you here?" She looked at me now, licked her lips, which were probably dry from the tension, and then she answered me. "I've come here to let you know that I want to take my sons back." She didn't say this with much emotion, other than a bad case of nerves, and she didn't SHOW much emotion as she spoke either. I wasn't sure why she showed up at this time, but I thought it was time to nip this notion in the bud. "Look, I've adopted these boys and they are no longer your sons, in the legal sense. You signed all the paperwork to allow me to adopt them, so you can't just show up whenever you wish and announce that you want them back." "I know all that, but I was hoping you'd understand. Back then I was really into booze and drugs, and my boyfriend really didn't want the boys around, so we kind of took off and left them. But I'm clean now. I'm off booze and drugs, and I've been clean and sober for over a year now. I think I'm ready to become a mother again and take care of my boys, like I should have done before." "Look, lady. You just can't waltz in here and disrupt the boys' lives again, especially after what you did to them. I'm happy that you've cleaned up your life and you're sober now, but I don't think a year is long enough to prove that you won't end up doing the same things all over again. It certainly doesn't mean that you'd be a good parent now or that the boys would even want to see you again. I don't want to sound cruel, but the boys got through this by thinking that you no longer existed. If, by some strange chance, they did still want to see you again, I'd be willing to let you visit them occasionally, but there is no way I will give them up." She suddenly straightened up, almost in a defiant gesture, and then she spoke again. "I was afraid you were going to say that, and I really don't want to have to fight with you, but I did talk to legal aid and they are willing to help me try to get my boys back again. I hope it doesn't come to that." "It won't, unless YOU'RE the one to push this and try to get them back. I wouldn't even consider letting you see them either, unless the boys agreed to it, because they were the ones who had to deal with your abandoning them. They had many scars from that, scars that had to heal, and they were very insecure and emotionally wrought for many months after I took them in. Not only did it take them time to heal physically, from the effects of being malnourished, but their emotional wounds took even longer, and I'm not convinced those have totally healed even yet. Let's face it, you just up and left them. You just took off one day, and left them to fend for themselves. What was worse was that they understood this, but they couldn't understand WHY you would do such a thing. They came here thinking they were bad or unlovable, and they looked like two concentration camp survivors. If you want a fight, I'll give you one, but if you just want to see the boys and get to know them again, I'll discuss that with them when they get home from school, to see what they think. Other than that, we have nothing more to discuss." She looked disappointed with my response, hoping that I'd just give into her demands. Now she thought about what I said, before she spoke again. "WOULD you ask the boys if they'd like to see me again?" "That would depend if you're going to continue to try to push your previous demands on us," I told her, quite bluntly. She thought some more about this, before she responded. "Look, I can't say that I absolutely won't do that, but maybe if I see the boys again, I'll know for sure whether or not they would want me in their lives." "And if you were able to see that they really didn't want you in their lives any more, would you be able to accept that and leave them alone?" "How can I answer that until I see them and talk to them? Since I've been sober, I've realized how much I miss them, and I want so much to be a mother to them now. Can't you understand that?" "Yes, I understand how YOU feel, but do you really understand how THEY might feel? You hurt them deeply, making them feel they were unwanted and unloved. It took them a long time to overcome all of that baggage, and now you want to reopen those old wounds and step back into their lives. How do you think they're going to feel? How do you think they might react? I'm not sure if even I can predict what this will do to them or how they'll respond." "I know this is going to be hard on all of us, but I really need to see them. Can't you see that? Can't you understand that those are my sons and I miss them?" "The key here is that they are your biological sons, but they are my sons legally. You abandoned them and gave up all your rights long ago. I'd be willing to ask the boys if they wanted to see you, but not if you plan to disrupt their lives and put them through hell again." She thought about my last comments before she answered. Finally she made her next move. "I don't know what to say, because I really don't want to give up on this. If you would please ask them if they'd want to see me again, I'll call you later and see what they said. Then we can talk about this more, but I have to think about all the things you've said." "Damn, I really hate to throw this at them, without knowing what it's going to do to them, but I guess either way they'll have to know you've returned and are trying to get back into the picture. All right, I'll ask them after dinner if they'd be interested in seeing you, then you can call me back after 9:00 to see what they've said. Is that okay with you?" "Yes, that will be fine." "Okay, I'll do that much for you then." Before she left, I gave her our telephone number and then hurried her out the door. I didn't want her here when the boys returned home from school, as I wanted time to prepare for their learning about this news. After she left, I sat down to think about how I was going to handle this. First of all, how was I going to tell the boys that their mother had suddenly reappeared? Worse than that, how was I going to tell them that she wanted to get back into their lives, or that she even wanted them back totally? How would I bring all this up without disrupting their lives or sending them into another tailspin? I certainly had a great deal of thinking and planning to do before they got home. * * * * * * * * If you have enjoyed reading this story, you will find other stories by me at http://members.tripod.de/wolfslair, in the 'Other Stories' section.
