A Neglected Boy    "The Twins" XXIV

jacoblion@tutanota.com

The story is told by either Jake or Kori in alternating Chapters

............. I looked at Jake as he stood quietly looking at me then
toward the bow.  He was expressionless and said nothing.  I know what I
said and how I said it took Jake completely by surprise almost as if there
would be no discussion, I was leaving for Italy.  . . . .  Decision made.

   Ethan, Kyle and Justin stepped into the cockpit and looked at Jake then
me; the boys said nothing turned and quietly returned to the salon.  I
can't imagine what Jake must be thinking.  My decision was without regard
to his feelings or the boys I was just leaving Jake with the responsibility
of Justin and Kyle and now Ethan.  I felt horrible and selfish.

   Jake turned toward me and said . . . "Kori that is an amazing offer by
the university and of course you should go."  It was the unselfish loving
Jake speaking, always wanting the best for those he loved.  As I looked at
him Jake's face began to have a questioning look; then a smile, then a big
smile.  Then Jake said . . . "Kori you know I did spend my junior year in
Milan and spent many weekends in Naples and Rome."

   I looked at Jake with his big smiling face and asked . . . "Jake are you
suggesting that we should all go? . . .  His answer . . .  "Don't play
stupid Kori of course we should go what an awesome vacation for the boys.
Ethan can see his parents we get to meet them and while you're working I
can take the boys on day trips; you may have to leave first if it takes
more than a day or two to get papers for Justin and Kyle."

   I hugged Jake and kissed him just as Ethan hit the top of the ladder
form the salon and Exclaimed . . . "Wow! Sexy!"  and that brought the
rug-rats scrambling and climbing over Ethan to see what all the fuss in the
cockpit of Jabbering was about.  Jake looked at Ethan and asked . . . "Ok
studly muffin is your passport up to date?"  Ethan said "Yes, what's going
on are we defecting to another country?"  Jake gave Ethan the Eye and said
. . . "Don't be a smart ass maybe were going to Italy." ..... there we go
again with language and the rug-rats heard it and had a big smile. (damn,
smart ass added to rug-rats vocabulary oh n studly muffin too.

   "Italy" exclaimed Ethan echoed by "The Twins" slightly out of sync as it
sounded Italy ... Italy ..... Italy.  There was a barrage of questions
followed by the same questions echoed by the rug-rats but it all came down
to one thing as I explained and then was further explained by Dr. Jake
Roberts.  I began . . . "Ok I received an email from the university" ...
Ethan interrupted . . . . "Kori we already know that how about if you cut
to the chase already".

   Wow a little testy but I went on . . . "There has been a new
archaeological discovery adjoining the continued excavation at Pompeii and
the university has nominated me as director of research representing the
universities interest." . . .  Dr. Jake Roberts interrupted and said . . .
"Ok guys the situation is this, Kori is going to Italy to take this very
important position and to make it fun for all we are going too.  ....  Now
that's the simple version so be happy we're gonna be Italians for a week or
3 or 4 maybe."

   I looked at Jake and thanked him for jumping and giving the simple
version . . . . . he knew I was about to go into a lecture of where, when,
why, how, and a lot of other unnecessary stuff.  Everyone was in a very
excited mood but for real we needed to make plans for tomorrow.  I called a
family meeting, well I tried to and after several attempts I had everyone's
attention.

   Ethan came to my rescue and gave the rug-rats a little love tap and said
. . .  "Pay attention or no Flying horses tomorrow." . . . hmmm way to go
Ethan! . . . . I now had everyone's attention and made the suggestion for
the plan of the day starting first thing in the morning.

   Jake sat patiently while Kyle and Justin were more focused on Ethan who
was texting someone.  I coughed and began . . . "Ok good breakfast you'll
need it because first thing is Kayaking" . . .  well that brought cheers
. . . I continued . . . . "We're going to Sengekontacket Pond and rent
Kayaks and bring snacks because you can't be a wuss.  We're going to paddle
around Gravel and Brush Islands.  Jake you got Justin, I'll take Kyle and
Ethan at some point we'll exchange boats.

   I think after that Jake will need a rest (I was kidding) and of course
the rug-rats had to jump right on that in stereo . . . "Yeah cause Jakes
old!"  Ethan came to Jake's rescue and smacked "The Twins" and said
. . . . "Jake is Not Old! ... He's just not young."  Now everyone was
laughing including Jake who looked at me and said . . . "Kori please
continue before I hurt someone."  . . . .  I took the hint and said . . . "
We'll spend an hour or two on Circuit Avenue where all the action is and it
will probably have tons of people at the stores restaurants, ice cream
shops and the arcade games."

   The last two things caught the attention of Kyle and Justin who are
always ready for ice cream and arcade games.  I think Jake and I are ready
for seafood so I know we will enjoy the walk on Circuit Avenue and who
knows we me be challenged to some game at the arcade.  Ethan was ready for
anything and it always appears to be happy with whatever we're doing.  I
think he is enjoying being a part of a family.  I know Jake and I will miss
him when school starts and I expect the rug-rats will shed a few tears.

   Jake and Ethan said they would like to go to the beach after we leave
Circuit Avenue so I said . . . . "Rug-rats lets plan to treasure hunt at
Joseph Sylvia State Beach after the arcade." . . .  "More cheers because
that meant throwing stones and what boy doesn't like throwing stones.  The
beach is also best known as a main shooting location in the film "Jaws."
. . .  I looked at Ethan and said . . . "Ethan you're in charge of the
rug-rats, Jake you're in charge of Ethan." . . . Justin asked . . . "Kori
what are you in charge of? . . . I said . . . "JAWS"

   Then I said . . . . "Just before dinner 1, one, just one ride on the
Flying Horses, Ok maybe 2 rides but no more.!"  Everyone was happy and
tired and with the early start in the morning it was time for bed.
Rug-rats were washed and in their little boxer shorts (interesting) and
before anything could be said or asked they told Ethan he could have their
cabin for the night and marched directly into our cabin adjusted the
covers, fluffed the pillows and said . . .  "Kori, Jake come on you know
early to bed early to rise makes you smart ass guys." . . . .  "What?!!!!
. . .  Jake we need to talk!"

   Jake was laughing and the rug-rats were laughing hysterically.  Jake and
I washed quickly and crawled under the covers with the rug-rats; not really
because the rug-rats had short-sheeted the cabin bunk so they could stretch
out but it was way too short for Jake and me.  Rug-rats were even more
hysterical and so was Ethan who apparently had helped them.  After our bunk
was back to normal the rug-rats got kicked out and told to go find some
other place to sleep. .... They left laughing.

   The night passed quickly with no more trouble form the little
tyrants. Morning arrived with Ethan gently knocking on our cabin door
letting Jake and I know Justin and Kyle had made breakfast and coffee and
tea was hot and on the table.  Jake whispered . . . "better test everything
and make sure they didn't poison the coffee and tea."

   Jake and I washed and dressed quickly and joined the boys at the table
for breakfast.  Kyle, Justin and Ethan were already dressed and had their
backpacks packed for the day.  Jake looked at the boys and said . . . "You
all look very nice this morning and quite handsome too."  Justin and Kyle
were all smiles and replied . . .  "It's easy when you have a big brother
to help."  Hmmm either they are just being very good this morning or
without warning they will be up to no good.

   Ethan had already called for the launch and it arrived at 8:30 and we
locked the hatch made one quick to check everything and it was off for our
morning kayaking.  Ethan sat between the rug-rats and Jake and I sat behind
them in anticipation of some dirty surprise.  We arrived at the dock,
rented a large golf cart and were off to Sengekontacket Pond.  We were the
first to arrive at the pond and rented 3 sit on kayaks two kayaks were for
2 people and one a single.  The water was shallow, clear and warm.

   We had snorkels and fins and headed for the small islands.  Jake thought
it was perfect to pull the kayaks up on shore at Gravel Island and snorkel.
Now the side of the island we were on was hidden from the rental stand and
beach and was just perfect for what the rug-rats love best.  Speedos hit
the ground and it was 2 cute little butts, no make that 3, in the water and
searching for marine life.

   Jake and I stayed on the shore keeping a close eye on things.  I nudged
Jake and asked . . .  "Jake are you watching the boys?"  . . . .  Jake
answered . . . "Yes Kori it's not the first time for me to watch naked boys
in a pond."  I laughed and it brought back memories of those happy times.
Just then Justin and Kyle came running out of the water to show us how
fearless they were as they had hermit crabs.

   Justin said . . . "Jake hold out your hand . . ."  ..... Jake held his
hand out and Justin dangled the hermit crab over Jake's hand and Jake took
his fingers to grab the crab ....  only ....... The crab grabbed Jake's
finger and was pinching as hard as it could.  Jake was dancing about like a
Pocasset Indian doing a war dance and screaming "Damn Crab, Damn Crab, get
the Damn Crab off my finger!"  Kyle was hysterical and Ethan arrived just
in time to rescue Jake as I was using the GoPro to get this all on video.
Justin couldn't help because he was laughing to hard.

   Ok just how hard can a little crab pinch? .... Geeeez it drew blood!
Jake was making like he needed and ambulance or airlift and while putting
on the act he stubbed his toe and was limping like some old fart.  Ethan,
Kyle and Justin helped Jake to the kayak where the boys played Doctor.  I
stepped in to remind Ethan it was Jakes toe which is below the knee not
above the knee.  What was Ethan thinking?

   We were all back in the water and had a great time looking at the
different grasses and fish in the pond.  Time just moved so fast and it was
time to return the kayaks and head on to our next stop.  On the way back to
the rental we changed boats and Kyle was with Ethan, hmmm, and when we
arrived at the beach Ethan jumped from the kayak into the water for a
minute or 2.  It appeared he need to adjust his swim suit and for some
reason Kyle looked guilty.

   It was good timing because what did Jake and I hear? . . . "We're
hungry" and Circuit Avenue is just the place for a great lunch.  Sausages,
hot dogs, burgers, lobster rolls and more; the lobster rolls were to die
for.  Well bellies were full and it was off to Joseph Sylvia State Beach
and we all had our photo with JAWS and rug-rats really loved it.  We
finished the day at Martha's Vineyard Chowdah Company and shared a clam
boil family style. OMG it was one of the best I've ever had.  The little
clams were so tender and buttery and the lobsters were perfect.  The boil
was for a family of 6 and to be honest there was not a single thing left.
We ate the whole thing!.

   Jake and I noticed on the ride back to Jabbering that Kyle and Justin
are getting even closer to Ethan and we think rug-rats may have a crush on
Ethan.  I remember when I was 10 and Jake didn't know it but I had a crush
on him then.  When we were onboard we decided to leave Martha's Vineyard a
day early and head back to Mystic and perhaps get a jump on seeing if
everyone could make the trip to Italy or would it end up just me.

   We were exhausted after the day of continuous fun and games.  We stood
on deck and rinsed the salt off with cool fresh water.  Jake winked at me
as we both watched "The Twins" help Ethan rinse off and they even washed
his swimsuit, how nice of them.  It was a beautiful evening but bed was
calling and Jake called Justin and Kyle over and said . . . . "Wow you guys
were so good today Kori and I are so proud of you." . . .  Kyle and Justin
were beaming those smiles were from ear to ear.  Then Jake said . . . "I
know you're tired and we have to get an early start in the morning and
Ethan is really tired so tonight you guys sleep in your cabin, Ok?"

   Rug-rats looked a little disappointed but said . . . "Ok Jake our cabin
all night we will but no Damn Crabs in our bed."  . . .  They were shaking
their heads back and forth and I was about to laugh but just said
. . . "Hey!"  Kyle looked at me and said . . . "Ok Captain Bligh." . . .
Justin kissed Jake and then Ethan and then Kyle did the same then turned to
me and shook my hand; he laughed and then I did get a kiss.

   Ethan was in bed as Jake and I shut our cabin door.  I looked at Jake
and asked . . . . "Jake do you really think there is any chance we will all
go to Italy?  I've thought about it over and over again it's not a good
idea for me to go at this time and I don't' want to be away from the boys
and you now; I love you and them too much. I'll thank the university and
let someone else take the position." ......
