Feedback: javabiscuit@hotmail.com Willow ~ chapter six by Biscuit My grandfather's way of touching me was rubbing against me in his lap. I can't think he got much more than aroused from it. I don't remember him having orgasms. I sometimes did. When I spent the night with him. I'd sleep in his bed and he'd hold me and pet me while I got drowsy. I do remember him holding me on his stomach. But mostly what I remember is knowing that his cock was there, and that it was hard, and trying to assist him, without seeming to do it, in pressing it against me. Even though I was most often jealous of Leon, for having Willow, I know there was another part of me, jealous of Willow. I didn't feel much of an attraction to Leon, but I think I wished I'd had the freedom to openly touch my grandfather. To me, he was what handsome was. The little bit I resembled him, having dark eyes and hair, was a source of pride. I loved the physical attention he gave me, the back rubs, the cuddling, the idle hand on my head or shoulder, him stroking my hair. The first time I was really aware that I was feeling his hard cock was when I was about six, after a Thanksgiving dinner, curled up with him in his recliner. We still lived in New York but he'd asked my mom to bring me for the holiday. She, I'm sure, couldn't wait to escape after the huge meal and visit friends in town. I was more than content to be left behind to watch football with him while the rest of the family buzzed and visited around us. I knew my own little prick felt good if I touched it when it was hard, if I rubbed it with my fingers or pressed it against something. And I knew that Manny Whaite's cock was like a stallion to the pony between my legs. I'd seen him undressed any number of times, pissing or getting into or out of his clothes. During the summer he'd let me come spend the night on one of the boats as a treat from time to time. "Only a boy," my mom would say, wrinkling her nose, "would think of a night on a stinking boat as fun." On the boat, nobody was shy about baring their asses. I'd gotten the chance to see him naked, never as much as I wanted, but enough to be in love with his long heavy looking cock. It was every bit as big as Leon's but, I thought, much more handsome. Dark skinned and shrouded with jet black hair. The best was to see it hard, like it was first thing in the morning. But it rarely happened since waking up earlier than he did was almost impossible. On that Thanksgiving night, in the drowsy heat of his lap, with one of my aunt's million afghans tucked around me, I became aware of his cock getting hard, changing shape under me. Before she left, my mom had washed me up and put me in my pajamas. I was sprawling, in a daze of happy comfort when I felt what I knew was his swelling erection through the thin flannel of my pants. Hard, unimaginably big. My mind gaped in wonder as I explored the shape in my mind, my eyes closed to picture it better. I was practically sitting on it as it lifted up the leg of his loose pants. At first I was only amazed, then I remember a jolt of fear hit me, that he'd be mad if he knew I was doing that; thinking about his dick, feeling it under my backside. Guiltily, I tried to slowly move to his other thigh, away from what I shouldn't be touching. He didn't try to stop me from moving, but once I'd gotten to the other side of his lap, his hand wrapped around my thighs and settled me so his big cock was pressed up under them and he patted my legs gently as if to settle me there. That's when it dawned on me that he liked this secret touching. The thought made me melt, a feeling that swirled through my groin and stiffened my own cock in a parody of his. I was so aroused I wanted to turn over on my stomach and press my own hard nub against him, but I didn't dare. Not like Willow could do to Leon. I had to wait for chance to make it happen. And that didn't come until the middle of the night. I've no idea when he put me to bed or when he got in with me. But there was a time in the night I woke up to a feeling so sweet and warm between my legs that I was shaking. I was on top of him, and he was murmuring, "Hush, amado." Sweetheart. I don't know what he'd done, or what I'd done to make it happen, but I know I was quivering from coming. I guess I wanted Willow to be impressed that I had a boat named after me, and that the weathered and handsome captain of that boat was my grandfather. Didn't happen like that. There was an almost instant chill in the air when the two of us got down to the deck of the Little Tom. Where I'd feared attraction between them, there was its complete opposite. Magnets turned the wrong way around couldn't have repelled harder than Manny Whaite and Willow. My grandfather saw the small Chinese boy and his face changed. As if he was seeing something distasteful and trying to hide it, like a guest that's had an unappetizing plate of food served to them. Willow closed up tight. He retreated completely into what I thought of as his soldier's face. Stern and serious. I was so unprepared, so hurt and baffled. The entire fifteen minutes or so that we stayed on the boat, my grandfather hardly spoke to us, and then, only me. He'd been talking with a guy he'd just hired on and I tried to tell myself that it was because they were busy that he was acting so strange. I knew it wasn't, though. Manny Whaite had never been too busy for me in my life. When I approached him to take my leave, with Willow standing off at a distance, looking out on the water, my grandfather put his arm around my shoulders and drew me against his chest in a quick hard hug and held me there. I was in a loose embrace of his arm, my back to his chest. He leaned his head down and said low in my ear, "That boy." Then he added the Portuguese word for faggot. He said it so quiet I could almost believe I hadn't heard him say it, but I had. With a swat to my ass he sent me on my way, speaking in a normal tone. "Come see me tomorrow, amado." I did not speak up for my friend or myself. A spear of shame shot through me. It was as if he'd whispered the word nigger to me, so forbidden and reviled was such a word in my life. Whispered it to me, without seeing my own dark face in front of his eyes. My throat closed up and my face burned with a panicked flush. Willow had already edged his way to the other side of the boat, only waiting for me to make his escape. Without another word spoken, I fled from the boat, not able to put enough distance fast enough between me and Manny Whaite. If only I could say that the shame burning me was for my grandfather's crude prejudice. It was, but it wasn't. Not really. Much worse, I was terrified of the moment his eyes would clear and he'd know me for the thing he hated. I was seeing my name stripped off the boat in disgrace, the end of him loving me. He'd hate me like he seemed to instantly hate Willow. All those touches he thought I'd given to him in innocence would turn hateful and dirty when he saw me for who I was. Manny Whaite knew that my mother's father was gay. He never referred to his homosexuality, at all. But Willow, in his eyes, was a new and active threat that I had to be made to see and avoid. A day that had promised to be heaven on earth was falling apart in my hands. I could hardly look up from my feet as we made our way back down the wharf. Near one of the foot long hot dog shacks at the end of the wharf, two guys I knew were half on their bikes, half propped with a foot on the sidewalk. I got a sick feeling of wanting to hide Willow from them. My stomach twisted as we got close, and one of them, a kid named Brandon, looked up and saw me. His eyes slid to Willow. Curious, trying to fit him to me. "Baby-sitting, Whaite?" "My buddy Willow," I said, the words forced out as casual as I could get them to sound. The other kid, Jase, nodded, indifferent, but I saw his eyes flicker down Willow's bare legs, like he was checking out a girl. I was hearing the word my grandfather had said, pounding inside me, even those these boys would just say, fag. I'm not a brave person and those kids had said nothing, done nothing to me or Willow. And the boy I loved asked for no protection from me. He was much tougher than I was. But there was a battle raging in my head, in my gut, and I dared to touch Willow, as if I had to take a stand in the eyes of the world. Earlier I'd found every excuse I could to touch him. Now I did it defiantly, not with joy, but like I was striking an invisible foe by laying my hand on his warm shoulder and squeezing it. "See you guys around," I said, urging him to walk on with me, with the pressure of my sweaty palm guiding him. "See ya," Brandon said, and without looking back I examined every possible nuance of the simple words he'd spoken, looking for insult. Nothing. God, I was a mess. "I want to go in here," Willow said, a block down the way, shrugging my hand off of him. We were in front of the bookstore. It was a shop that was open year round but I'd never been in it. The old guy behind the counter saw us and smiled, his whole face lighting up, his shaggy eyebrows lifting almost comically. He looked vaguely familiar to me and then I realized he was someone my grandfather Sterns knew. He and his lover, or whatever, companion, had been at our house for one of those afternoon gatherings I avoided. Mostly I stayed away because they were boring. Guys sipping drinks, talking about books and politics. I wasn't forbidden to hang around but I could see, if a pair of eyes fell on me, that they were wishing I'd take a hike so the talk could range more freely. "Willow!" the guy said. "Excellent timing. Your books are here. But they're pretty heavy, you might want to wait for Leon to carry them." "I can carry them," I said. Both of them looked at me. "Aren't you Tommy Sterns?" the guy said, like he was trying to place me. I was both proud that he knew me and a little embarrassed that I'd never been in his shop. I didn't correct him about my name. I think it was the first time ever, that I almost wished that it was my name, that being a Whaite didn't feel so much like an honor. "George Boyd," he said to me, "but you wouldn't remember that, I'm sure. I know your granddad. So, you think you can heft these things for our friend here?" They were huge! One was a big fat book like one of my mom's art books, it seemed to be a book of pictures of China. The other was a big ass text book about something called a Chinese Diaspora; it meant nothing to me. I lifted them off the counter and knew my arms would be breaking by the time we got to the cottage, but I didn't care. "Sure," I said. "How much are they?" I wanted to buy them for him too, with that twenty burning in my pocket, little knowing that Leon had spent many times that to order these books for his boy. "All paid for," he said. The way that guy looked at Willow was as different as day from night from how my grandfather had looked at him. And it was nothing like Leon did, or even like me. He beamed at him; I could feel the delight coming off him in waves, like the bookseller out at the flea market. One gay guy, one straight guy, both of them flat out in love with Willow's love of books. Willow looked at me a little doubtfully, but he nodded. He took the text book away from me. "I'll carry this one, you can do that one." We stopped a couple of times on our journey, which once again felt like something grand to me, even if not quite as lustrous as when we'd set out. My grandfather still lurked in the back of my mind. Faggot, he'd called him, sweetheart, he'd called me. How could I be both to Manny Whaite? At the cottage, Willow put his books away. That disappointed me, a little. I would have liked to see those pictures in the one book. But I guess he wanted to look at them alone, first. Later he would let me see it. Tide was up, and we swam, ending up lazing in the shallows of the water right at the foot of the steps to the cottage. There's nothing quite as luxurious as that, planting your ass in the sand and letting the gentle bay waves wash over you with the sun burning down. Better than in the ocean even, where the waves drag the sand out from under you fast. My shorts were up on the deck. I'd taken to wearing boxers under them, it's what guys my age were doing, and it was a whole lot better to swim in if the urge struck. You could ditch them after and be bareassed in your cutoffs, instead of stuck in a pair of salt stiff pants. I was hard, but I'd been like that since we'd gotten in the water, more or less. Propped back on my elbows I watched the water swirl around my hard dick, puffing up the loose boxers. We were deep enough so I was still mostly covered when the wave retreated, dragging against my cock in the other direction. Man, did it feel good. Who I was in the world, what anyone thought of me, what did it matter then? Tiny agate like pebbles rolled in the waves. Willow picked one up and put it, wet and cool, on the dry middle of my chest, and my cock tightened up harder. Just a boy, he'd called me. My girlfriends didn't matter. Well, he was right. I was still just a boy. For him to put any stock or faith in me would be ludicrous. He needed Leon. He only wanted me. It would take years for me to become a solid, trustworthy being in his eyes. But in the meantime, like that afternoon, I'd have his kisses, his hand stroking me to bliss.
