Billie Joe's Journal 02-20-02 Chapter 11 Sven's New Friend Having taken a job on a moving van after hitch hiking from Seattle, I found myself in Fresno. Life was pretty easy with Ingmar, the truck driver. We spent most of our time eating, sleeping, and driving. The job at Bishop wasn't very big. We loaded furniture that filled less than half the truck. I moved small tables, lamps, and boxes. Raymond worked hard. He broke a sweat, and he didn't complain once. Ingmar and Sven carried the heaviest items, and Raymond and Sven carried the smaller pieces while I took inventory and kept the blankets ready for the furniture. Ingmar mostly stayed in the trailer arranging and securing the furniture as fast as it was loaded. We sat in Fresno two days. Ingmar said that was the nature of the business. While in Bishop I had called my brother John and he told me he had a letter from Carl. When I told him I had a job he was happy for me. He said Dad would find that somehow a bit redeeming. Though nothing would spare me from the beating of my life when my ass finally passed back through the front door. Ingmar told him where to send the letter so we could get it at a truck stop under his name. My brother promised he wouldn't sick the law on me or tell Dad. He kept his word though Ingmar went up to get the letter for me on the second day we were in Fresno. The first thing I saw was a Polaroid picture. I seized it from the envelope and stared at the image of my love. I couldn't believe the image of my love. He had on a green helmet pushed back far on his head, combat boots with green socks sticking out of the top. He had a rifle in his arms at a forty-five degree angle across his chest, and the only other thing he had on were those dumb green boxers. What I wouldn't have given to have him lose those boxers when they took that picture of him. I just stared at it for a long time. I tried not to show my feelings. Then Raymond came behind me and snatched it. "Jesus fucking christ. This is him? Lord have mercy. He's a stud. I didn't believe you, Billie Joe." "Give me the fucking picture," I said, snatching it away. I read the letter keeping the picture under my thumb. I wanted him to tell me how much he loved me and missed me, but he didn't say anything about our relationship or the time we spent together. The boldest he got was saying he missed me and expected me to be at the gate when he returned. I guess you got to be careful what you write when you are a marine, but the last sentences made it worth while. The picture made it a treasure. I found a safe place for it inside a pouch in my bag. That was the day I started writing him every day. I didn't mail them every day, but I wrote something every day. Even if it was only about my aching back. We tossed a football around the second afternoon in Fresno while Ingmar was trying to get more work. Sven took off his shirt and I was surprised at the muscles he had. It turns out Sven was sixteen. I really had a hard time believing anyone could be that big and that smart at sixteen. I watched him move and something about him reminded me of Carl. Maybe it was his size. Sven was a friendly guy always ready with a smile. He even started being nice to Raymond after they loaded and unloaded a truck together. I think, maybe Ingmar told him that we were all family and that meant Raymond too. It was getting better and Raymond had all but stopped running his mouth when he had nothing to say. Sven was always bringing me a soda or sharing something with me. I liked that. He was like a big brother, only he wasn't that much older than me. We joked and kidded around, and while we drove, we played chess or checkers in the bunk. Raymond sometimes played and sometimes didn't. It was after dinner at the end of the first week that Ingmar came to me. We walked off in the back of the lot, and he seemed nervous. I don't know why it made me uneasy, but it did. Ingmar was a bear of a man, but a more gentle soul I'd never known. He was always gentle, and maybe he had to be less he would crush things. I just liked him. He was easy to like. "You are being quite the young man, Billie. You seem so much older than you are." "Tell that to my family." "Families are sometimes hard for the understanding. My father and I are not getting along. Sven's father is being my brother and is the hard man. He'll regret missing Sven growing up. Are you liking Sven? Sven is treating you good, No?" "Yes! Sven is swell. I like him fine." "I am knowing you and Raymond are being friends, Billie. This is easy for me to be seeing, and this talk is being about that. I am seeing you with him. I mean doing the sleeping together. I am knowing of your fear for the man who is doing those terrible things to you. It's not easy for me to be talking of this to you, but I think I should be speaking to you." I started cringing. Ingmar had seen Raymond and I sleeping naked together since we first started sleeping in his trailer. He'd seen me holding Raymond most every night. He'd never mentioned it before. Now he either wanted in on the action or he wanted to split us up. Either proposition set wrong with me. I could feel the sexual tension around both of us while he spoke. I really didn't want to hear any more. Raymond was right. They all got around to wanting it sooner or later. I was suddenly disappointed in Ingmar. "When I was being the boy in Sveden, I am working on my father's farm. I am sleeping in the barn because it is being easier than being around him at night. I am not being much older than you are now and younger than Raymond when I am meeting the Thorsen. He is being a worker for my father. He too is doing the sleeping in the barn. "It was fine, warm, dry most of the time. We got along. I guess he was twenty or maybe no. I never knew how old he was. He is seeming old to me. It was maybe a month after he is coming to work. One night he is coming over and pulling off the blanket. He stood looking down. I am not knowing what this means. We are being friends. I am knowing he is fine. He is asking then if he could lie with me. I am saying he could. I am remembering like it is being yesterday. We ended up much like you and Raymond at the night. We are being young men and we are having the needs all all the time. In Sveden you see this isn't such a problem, and so I am having no problem with you and Raymond, but it is Sven that is being the worry for me." "Sven? He's objects to Raymond and I holding each other? We don't do anything. Raymond's still hurting from being raped." "No! No, never, Billie. Sven is happy for you to be happy too. I don't think he's too fond of Raymond, you see. His mouth you know is being too sour. He is being too mean." "I know. I hope Sven doesn't take it personal. He's been like that since I knew him." "No! Sven he's a good boy. I see him with you Billie Joe. I see Sven's eye on you. I think he is looking like Thorsen did when he looked upon me. I am knowing he is not with a girlfriend all the time. He never has been much interested in things that are not for the study or some good hard work for his back. He's a good boy, but he's being almost seventeen now. I am thinking there is something inside him going on pretty good when he's watching you Billie Joe. He is telling me this with his eyes." "What should I do?" "I'm telling you this from my heart. I do not know what it is you should be doing. I know it is not beomg good he wants to look on you and sees you and Raymond all the time together. He might like to be sleeping closer maybe. That could be good for him, yes. I am not knowing this, Billie Joe. I am saying this out of my concern. Sven is a good boy. I am not wanting him denied things he could be wanting. I am knowing what Thorsen is meaning to me. It was good for me. Very good for me. I like the ladies now but I am being so big and awkward. They are not seeing Ingmar as the husband. Only when I lift their icebox or carry their couch do they see me as being the wonderful man. Then, I'm just Ingmar after the lifting is being done." "Any woman would have a treasure if she married you Ingmar. I've never met a person I thought was nicer or more gentle." "I'm only Ingmar, Billie. I know no other way to be. It is me. That's all." "You'd still be a prize for anyone, Ingmar. They couldn't do better." Ingmar's big hand grabbed the top of my head like he did a lot. He hugged me to his side as we walked. There was nothing else said, but I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like with someone like Sven. I then thought of the picture of Carl and I couldn't wait to take it out when I got back to the truck. I agreed with Ingmar that I shouldn't say anything about our talk. I didn't know what to do about Sven but I would do something. I liked him. We went to bed late. We sat on the tailgate of the truck and talked late into the night. Raymond went to bed first and I followed. I heard Sven come and start to undress in the pile of blankets on the other side of the trailer from us. He always slept there alone and just out of sight. "Sven." "What?" "You okay?" I asked. "Sure. I'm fine." "I worry about you sleeping all alone over there. Why don't you come and sleep with us." "You want me to sleep over there?" "Yeah! You're big and can furnish a lot of heat. Get's chilly at night you know." "Yes, I do know. I get cold myself." I listened as he put his pants on and came to stand over the pile of blankets where Raymond slept and I watched thinking of an image Ingmar gave me from his boyhood. I lifted the blanket and Sven took the corner and lie just close enough not to touch me. I could still feel the warmth from his naked chest. "You'll be more comfortable if you take off your pants, Sven." "You think I should?" "I'm sure you should." There was too little light coming from the moon out of the open doors of the trailer. I watched him turn over on his back and unzip and undo his pants. He pulled them down to his knees and then off the bare feet. The sharp white cotton of his briefs was all the detail I could see back in the dark of the van. He lay closer and I could feel his chest against my arm. "Are you comfortable?" "Very comfortable. Are you?" "This is nice. I've thought of this in the morning when I see you and Raymond sleeping together." Once again I realized that Ingmar was right. He knew Sven and he'd seen him wondering about Raymond and I. "Why didn't you say something?" "I don't know much about saying things about..., you know. I don't know anything." "You mean sex." "Yeah. I've never.... I mean I don't.... I don't know what I mean." "It's better to say what's on your mind than to try to keep it inside. I used to keep it inside, Sven." "You and Raymond are... do you...." "No. Yes." "No yes what?" "No we aren't lovers. Yes we've done it a few times." "You are pretty bold with telling me." "It's what you want to know. I like you. I will answer your questions." "Do you ever have people tell you they like you?" "Seldom. One. Now two with Raymond. I think possibly three with you." "I know who two is. What about one?" "Got a few days. I'll tell you about every minute we spent together." "I don't think I'd like that. Maybe we can talk about three." "Talk." "I don't know what to say." "Say let me fuck you and go to sleep. Will you two shut up. I'm sleeping here. I work for a living." "Sorry, Raymond." "It's all right, Sven. You don't know any better. He does. I need my beauty sleep." "You don't need any more sleep, Raymond," Sven said. "Is that a compliment I hear from the strong silent type. You've hardly spoken all week." "That doesn't mean I'm blind. Just because you have a wise mouth doesn't mean I don't find you attractive. I'm quiet not blind." "Okay! Okay! Stick him in the middle Billie Joe. That's the nicest anyone's been to me in months, and he doesn't even like me." "I don't like the way you treat people." "Get in the middle, Sven," I said. "You think I should?" "He says you should. I say you should. What do you say?" Sven climbed over me brushing his long smooth legs across mine. The front of his briefs rubbed my stomach. He was providing plenty of heat. That was for certain. He lay flat on his back not touching either of us as far as I could tell. "On Three Billie Joe. We hug him to death. One. Two. Can't wait to three." Raymond and I crossed arms over Sven's chest. I could feel him shaking. I was surprised Raymond just rested his face against Sven's chest and started going back to sleep. I kept my arm around his waist and wanted to do more, but Sven seemed to be relaxing with us touching him so I let the moment pass and rested my face against him and drifted off to sleep. I woke up first and was surprised that the sun was shinning and Sven wasn't gone. Usually whenever I woke in the morning he was already up and out. I never saw him still in the blankets when I woke up. I turned to see him in my position against Raymond. He still had on his briefs, but his arms were around Raymond and his front was pressed right up to Raymond's naked butt. I couldn't believe how beautiful that looked. They seemed to be so comfortable. I saw Ingmar walk past the back of the truck and I pulled on my pants and headed out putting on my shirt. "You are up, Billie." "Yeah! Just woke up." "Sven he's still sleeping?" "Yes." "I see you got him to sleep with you. I'm happy it is working out. I'm glad I am speaking up." "I don't think he was sleeping with me. I think he has eyes for Raymond." "He doesn't like Raymond," Ingmar said surprised. "I think you ought to go take a peak. Sven may have changed his mind." Ingmar came back shaking his head, "I thought it was you he is having the eyes for. You are so much more, more. I am sure it is you he is wanting to be close to." "Maybe, but he must have changed his mind last night. We did kind of lie all over him. Nothing happened though. I mean we just hugged him. He seemed to be comfortable with that." "He is growing up. I am thinking I'm knowing him better but maybe not with the matters of the heart. Raymond? I'm not believing that. Coffee, Billie?" "Yes." We loaded the truck that afternoon and the following morning in Bakersfield on a load going to Salinas. Ingmar said a good load was coming, but we needed to wait. The short small runs kept us alive while we waited. Raymond and Sven were both quiet and did the work. I inventories the load and took care of the blankets. Ingmar took Raymond's place with the big items, but almost everything else Raymond handled without complaint. By dark we were well over half done. Ingmar said it was too dangerous at night, and we lounged in and out of the truck while deciding what to get for dinner. Ingmar unhooked from the trailer van and took me with him. We left Sven and Raymond sitting on the tailgate talking. The chicken, burgers, fries and cokes were plentiful. Ingmar sat on the ground peeling off pieces of chicken and feeding a stray dog that wasn't sure about the chicken or the large hands that held it. Only the tip of his nose and mouth got close enough to take the food. Raymond and Sven leaned on opposite sides at the back of the van. They were obviously worn out, but still managed to look at each other most of the time. Sven had taken off his shirt while we were gone, and his chest was full and thick. His shoulders bulged from carrying furniture. His waist was almost tiny. There were fine blond hairs on his arm, but none I could see in the dim light furnished by a single lamp run from the house to the rear of the truck. Raymond dozed after a time, and the work obviously took its toll on him. After about eight he disappeared into the truck without saying goodnight. Sven and Ingmar talked of family and friends. They liked to laugh together. I hadn't made up my mind if I wanted to go to bed with Raymond or wait for Sven to go to bed with Raymond. I wanted to sleep away from them since they seemed interested in each other. No one said anything and I yawned and stretched while sitting on the now cooling concrete curb and resting my hands in the cool blades of grass beside the truck. Finally Sven got up and said good night and disappeared in the truck. His back showed the same muscles as his chest, shoulders and arms. Ingmar said good night and went to read in his bunk. I slipped quietly inside the truck and moved blankets to a pile where Sven usually slept. I left on my briefs and curled up without a blanket on top. It was much warmer in this part of the state. Even the nights took time to cool. I listened for Raymond and Sven, but didn't hear anything until they started giggling. I smiled but still felt left out. I went on the road to stop feeling alone, and now I was feeling very much alone. I wanted to get out the picture of Carl, but it was too dark to see it. "We got bad breath or something," Raymond said, while I drifted in my thoughts. "What?" "Get your skinny ass over here where you belong. You divorce us or something?" "I just thought." "You aren't as clever as you think, Billie Joe. No one wants you to be over there alone but you." I could see Raymond holding Sven's big arm as I stood over them with my blanket in hand. Sven grabbed my arm and pulled me on top of both of them where they slapped my chest and stomach with their hands. They laughed as I tried to wiggle away when they started tickling me. I hadn't been tickled since I was ten. I was afraid I'd embarrass myself from being touched. We ended up wrestling, but being out manned and out gunned I mostly tried to keep from being tickled to death. My hand slid down on Sven's manhood and it shocked me when I felt the naked hair and then the almost hard result of our physical contact. I froze still holding him trying to see his face for some reaction. I was there. I wanted to know what he thought about it. "You're naked," I said, shocked for some reason when Sven guided me down in-between them. "Don't look at me. Raymond did it this morning. He said either to take them off or get out of his bed. I wasn't ready to get up then." "You didn't have any trouble getting up, Sven," Raymond said playfully. "You're telling secrets, Raymond. You said we wouldn't mention it." "Secrets? That's Billie Joe you're talking about. He's been sleeping with his dick up my ass for the last week. I doubt it is a secret when guys sleep with their arms around each other. Could be a sure sign something is going on." "Nothing is going on, Raymond. Not this minute anyway." Sven laughed at his own comment as he pressed his body against mine. Sven's had the same skin as Raymond's. It seemed tighter and was barely on the head at all when I touched it. I expected him to be more reluctant, maybe squirm or move away, but he leaned back on his hands looking at me lying across his legs with my head on Raymond's stomach and holding onto his pride I was still contemplating my options. Raymond's hand touched the side of my face as we all grew silent at the same time. It was just a lot of breathing and the heat of the night seemed to be growing. I don't think any of us were really sure what we were going to do. "We should put Sven in the middle, Billie Joe." "What for?" "We're going to make a sandwich out of him. What do you think?" "Make a what?" I said. "Two pieces of bread on the outside. The meat on the inside. Sandwich. Don't they have Home EC in Minnesota?" "You're nuts. What's Sven say?" "I don't have much to say right now. You're making it hard to resist." "Billie Joe has that effect on people. He comes off as this innocent little boy, but he's always where the meat is." "Fuck you, Raymond. If I had your experience I'd have to use clothespins to keep it shut." "You little, fuck," Raymond said, grabbing my hair. We started wrestling again and I only let go of Sven after we shifted our positions so that Sven ended up facing Raymond and I slid down beside him pressing myself into his back with my arms around him. He was even bigger when I held him in my arms than when I looked at him. I had to put my arm under his to reach around his chest half way. I kept on my underwear but my best part was pressed into the crack of Sven's butt. I put my face just under his shoulder blades and liked the warmth coming from him. ` I felt comfortable and relaxed. I could feel Raymond's hair next to my hand as his face lie on Sven's chest. Then I could hear Sven through his back. The moaning was a vibration through his skin. Raymond's hair moved up and down against my hand as I could hear him slurping up and down on Sven. I placed my hand on Sven's stomach and felt that telltale quiver. The more Raymond sucked, the more intense it got. Sven was panting without restraint. His chest was like he was a man running. I slid my hand down into the hair and felt the wet results from the action I listened to. I let my fingers wrap around it, and pulsing vibrations passed on to me. I rubbed my front into Sven's crack. I knew I was straining against my briefs. His hips now rolled slightly causing more heat to rise inside of me as the crack moved up and down on me. My head grew light and the warmth just rolled over me. I squeezed him and felt Raymond's lips on my hand as I stroked in small motions so I didn't disrupt the flow. Sven's rear forced itself back against me in a quick motion and my fingers felt the warm moist crack. "You better quit it Raymond. I'm going to do it now. Raymond, I can't stopahh... Ahh!... AHHHH!... AHHHHH!" I could feel him shivering and shaking. Raymond's slurping grew more greedy. Sven took in massive amounts of air as he gasped, rolling a little bit back on me. Sven blew out a gush of air while shaking violently like he was having some kind of seizure. Every muscle had tensed in his body. He shook more but there was no breathing except inside of his tight moaning sounds. I fell asleep pressed close against Sven's back while he was in recovery. I woke up some time later and Raymond was in the middle with his mouth busy on my stiffness. It's not a bad way to wake up and it was his specialty. Where was Sven? It only took a second to place the scene into perspective. Sven was behind Raymond grunting and groaning into the ceiling of the trailer. I could feel Sven's lustful thrust transferring from Raymond's mouth into my shaft. Sven and I used Raymond to communicate our lust to one another. Raymond seemed the perfect conduit for love. He had no limits that I could identify. His main aim was to drain us dry. I found no objection to him making the effort. The only surprise for me was how Sven so wholeheartedly took up with us. The shy boy was anxious to prove himself to his new friends. I started to believe he might be part Energizer bunny. We lie there for a few minutes after all of us were spent and trying to find a way to breath easier. I selected this time to fall asleep. Later that morning I woke up with the light just starting to come through the back of the trailer. There was no headache this time and I actually felt good. I could see cars in the distance turning off a street as the sleep left my eyes. I lay there for a minute zoning on the prospects of a new day. I felt the motion next to me before I heard them. I looked and Raymond was on top of Sven and Sven was once again, or still, deep up inside him. Sven was on his back and Raymond was slowly sliding up and down on him. They'd found a rhythm that was almost imperceptible as Raymond leaned back against Sven's bent legs, sliding up off of Sven before easing back down on him in easy motions. Sven held Raymond's waist and seemed to be helping him come up and off him before he prevented him from coming back down on him at any speed but the one he selected. I saw the thickness of him that I could only feel in the night. It shinned and seemed too large for Raymond to engulf, but engulf it he did, over and over again. They practiced the motion because if they had been serious, how could they go so agonizing slow. I waited for them to jerk into a slamming and punishing motion that might get them there, but the speed never increased as they worked in perfect harmony. They either didn't know or didn't care that I had awakened to their love making. After watching for five minutes, Raymond issued several long leaping streams of sperm onto Sven's sweaty chest. As Sven became aware of Raymond's condition, he held Raymond's waist so he was tightly screwed on to him and then came the three complete drives into the pale boy's innards. Then Sven started to shake with his eyes rolling back in his head. Their sounds were muted but that didn't hide their intensity. They stared into each other's eyes and Raymond just sat there on him with his spent cock leaning down on Sven's flat belly. He seemed too tired to move but finally he eased off Sven's flaccid member and curled into his arms. They were both sleeping in the next minute or two. It was like I had become invisible. They had forgotten I was in their life, and close by. We must have made quite a picture for Ingmar. The next time I opened my eyes to find him standing over me. "Wake them. Don't be letting them know I am coming in. It's time for the working." I watched Ingmar walk away. He was totally unscathed by his nephew and Raymond lying naked in one another's arms. Why couldn't my parents be like him? "Sven!" I said and his eyes opened and were on me. "Ingmar just yelled for us. Time to go to work." The weariness was etched into Sven's face. He looked twenty again, like the first day we'd met. He wrapped his arms around Raymond's chest, hugging him back toward him. "Again," Raymond moaned. "We just finished." "That was hours ago. We've been sleeping," Sven said, sure of himself. I knew it had been no more than five minutes. It didn't seem to matter to Sven as he kissed Raymond's neck passionately. "I'll blow you this time," Raymond said. "I wish. It's time to work. That takes too long." "Just a few minutes won't hurt. Just let me do it a few minutes. Work ain't going nowhere," Raymond said grinding his rear into Sven's front. "We need to work. Ingmar might come in. He might not understand this." "That's what I said. Just for a few minutes. Then we'll get to work." I watched them trying to link up with Sven's semi-erect penis wiggling like a Polish sausage while he tried to mount him. Raymond looked over his shoulder at him and Sven leaned forward to kiss his lips in a peck. Their arms and legs were woven together in some puzzle of tangling of limbs. I had again become invisible to the lovers as they nuzzled one another. ***** Read my other story: /nifty/gay/highschool/discovering-gregory/ Comments keep the words flowing bjwalkerjr@37.com
