Please don't confuse them with real life people or events English is not my native tongue and I want to thank John for all the help he is providing in this regard. Thank you John Please support Nifty to keep these stories coming. http://donate.nifty.org/donate.html I would love to get feedback from you smokinghenry@protonmail.com chapter 12 We all had a good time fooling around and swimming, in that order. It is clear that all of our secrets are out in the open between us. Jr was leaning into Dominik. John gave me a look as if asking if he could do the same, and I said it is his choice. I went to sit on the steps of the pool, thinking about how my life has changed in only one week. Thinking over the whole day and how good it felt when Dominik gave all of himself to me, I noticed that Donald was not there. I can't see him anywhere though I know he was here 10 minutes ago because Dominik was talking to Donald and clearly wanted more from him than just talking. I left the pool to go and look for him. I looked around the yard and porch, then decided to go look inside the house. I found him sitting at the kitchen table, clearly in deep thought. The sun was setting outside and I decided to warm up the left-over food in order that Donald didn't think I was just there to look for him. He stood up and started helping me. "Donald, what is wrong?" I asked him. I could see in his eyes that he wants to talk to me, but he is not ready to tell me anything. "You know Donald that you can tell me whatever you want to and I will keep it a secret. If I can help with what is upsetting you, then I will, but I can't do that if I don't know what it is." I told him, while I went down on one knee so my eyes are level with his. He looked at me and pulled me in for a hug whispering in my ear. "I wish you could help me, but clearly you can't" With that, he broke of the hug and started to take the food outside to the porch. I wanted, and tried, calling him back but it was clear whatever it is, he didn't want to talk about it. Obviously, I am in the middle of it all. Is it that he is deeply in love with me, or is it that he hates what is happening within himself? Is he really gay? My head was spinning. I wish I knew what he meant. I grabbed some paper plates, fork and knives and some sodas and took them to the porch. Everyone one was sitting and waiting for me. We sat and ate our food without anyone saying anything. It was clear they were hungry. Looking at all of them, I could see that John and Dominik had plans for the night. When we finished, the boys cleared the table. Donald told the rest of the boys that he will make some coffee for me and his dad while they do the dishes - he did warm up the food so fair is fair. While we waited for the coffee, John and I talked about what his wife demanded. The boys were busy and could not hear us. He said that she wanted half of everything including his pickup truck. But after she finished packing everything in the moving truck she said he can keep the truck. She even took the dog and her puppies and he was ok with that. She wanted the boys to spend every vacation with her and he only gets them over the Christmas break. I felt that is a bit unfair, but he needs to speak to the lawyer about it. I heard the phone rang and Dominik answered. He shouted it was his mom. So John and I continued talking. He had a lot of stuff he was getting off his chest. When he said that he never even cheated on her, I had to remind him that he was cheating every time he was with Jr. That struck a chord and made him think. Donald came out with the coffee and sat with us. He said the other boys were going to watch a movie. He made a cup for himself as well. John started talking about some other stuff but Donald stopped him. "Dad, can I tell you how I feel about it all without Trevor being here, please?" John nodded his head in agreement. "Dad I love both you and mom and it was hard to make a choice, but you and mom stopped listening to us when we said we will stay by you." Now that he had John's attention, John even leaned forward to hear what his son had to say. "I want to live with you dad, but I want to see my mom as much as I can as well. I want to go visit her every month at least for a whole weekend; I want to go to her on the school vacations, even if that means I will be here half a vacation and the rest with mom." Donald was claiming his rights as an individual, and I could see he was actually standing up to his dad. "And one more thing, dad: Trevor and I might be twins but we have our own individual feelings" John sat there quietly and I could see he could not believe what his son is telling him. I know John is a good dad and was always doing what was best for the twins, always making sure they had everything he could give them. But he had forgotten that both boys were not to be seen as one set of twins, but as individuals in their own right . John stood up to move closer to Donald, but Donald showed him he was not finished. John sat back down. "I am gay dad, I know you will not be mad at me because just look at what we all like doing. We are all having gay sex. I know Trevor likes all of this sex play, but he likes a girl at school as well." Donald's gaze shifted from his dad's eyes to mine. "And you, Peter, I know that you only realised recently what and who you are, but you need to open your eyes. I have been trying for a year now to get closer to you, but you would rather take a slut for a bit of so-called love." I could see the pain in his eyes and he was close to tears, but he was standing up as a man tonight and not a 12 year old boy. "You can't go call someone a slut" John told him. "Yes I can and I will. While Peter and I got supper ready, you and he had sex. He bragged to me about it while they were doing dishes. He bragged about doing you, Peter and Steve, twice all in one day." Donald looked at his dad with tears streaming from his eyes, but not crying - a sign of pure pain. "Peter you asked me how you could help. Well, I can't force you to love me like I fucking love you." He stood up and walked off to go and sit on his own under the tree on the other side of the pool. At that moment the other three boys appeared in the doorway behind us. They wanted to know in what was happening. John told them that it is between Donald and him and sent them to go have their showers and then, either watch more movies, or go to bed. They retreated fast back into the house. John's tone of voice made sure of that. I wanted to go to Donald but John told me to wait and he went to his son. I sat there in total disbelief about what had just happened and what was said. Now my head was spinning, thinking, remembering. Yes it was true that, whenever he could, Donald ended up driving with me to town, inspecting the fence and doing work on the farm, when his dad and brother were doing their things. How he protected me and saving me from awkward situations especially over the past week. I never thought much about it when he gave me a hug whenever the twins came to visit the office after school. How I was the first person he told that he is gay and made clear to me his feelings towards me. I was just too stupid to see it. How could I not have noticed that, every time I was looking where is Donald and what is Donald doing, and not what the boys where doing. When I spoke to the twins, I was almost always looking at Donald. Why did I tell Donald first about my feelings that I could not understand. How stupid was I? I loved both of the twins, but, when it came to Donald, there was that something more, and I did not pick up on it. Did it take a boy from the city to open me to myself, and did I fall into the pitfall of confusing lust with love? It was true what he said about Dominik. He came here, and from the word go he tried to get with me, saying he loved me. Did he love me or was I just another man for him - another trophy for him? As Donald clearly pointed out...three men in one day. I did pick up that Dominik had skills in kissing and sex about which he only told me about how he came to know those tricks later. Only when Dominik arrived, all these secret sex lives came forward - John and the boys, Jr and even Steve. Why only when he arrived on the scene? Was he flirting with everyone? He was a total stranger to the twins, but yet had them masturbating with him within 24 hours. I know boys can be easy going with each other, but even that type of thing takes a bit to get to. The twins were not even afraid of me seeing them nude and erect when Dominik was around. Did I really love Dominik or did I love merely the thought of him? He almost looks the same as my childhood friend Gary. Was I loving Dominik or was I loving Gary? Yes, I love Dominik, but as a friend, I was not in love with him. This was all so confusing but it was becoming clearer to me. Dominik loves sex, he loves everyone and falls in and out of love at the blink of an eye. Were we all not like him when we were his age, when hormones ruled our lives, and still do? I can't blame him for that. But here I have Donald, he is more level headed as anyone of us at the current moment. He acts like a grown up and thinks like a grown up or is he just another victim of the hormones, falling in love with me till the next person comes along? He is 12 and he can't know what and who he wants for the rest of his life. I have feelings for him: yes, I love him and yes, I love him in a different way than I love his brother, but am I in love with him? I sat there for who knows how long, just thinking everything over and over. It is only when John touched my shoulder that I snapped back. Donald was still sitting under the tree. John passed me a beer and said he is going inside to shower and think things over and I must stay here as Donald needs to speak to me. He closed the door as he went in. Donald took that as his cue and came to sit next to me. I could see in his eyes that he had done a lot of crying. He turned to face me and I felt that I could just hold him and hug him till his pain disappeared. I knew I couldn't until he had first told me what is on his heart. "Peter, I know how you feel about Dominik, and I feel sorry that I insulted him when you love him." he said, and I could see that it took a lot for him to say that. "No Donald, I am sorry for what I have done to you. Your words to me tonight were harsh, but I needed them to bring me back to reality. I love him but I am not in love with him" I told him as took his hand in mine. "You made me think tonight about all that has happened, not only the past few days, but in my whole life." He gave my hand a slow but emotional squeeze. We stood up and started walking, to where I don't know. I explained to him that I have fallen into the same trap that most fall into - that of confusing lust with love, and how sorry I was for hurting him even though I didn't even know I had hurt him. He looked at me when I told him that I feel a different kind of love towards him than I do towards Trevor. I was blind to the fact that I had real feelings for him and that I will get things straight in a bit of time. I asked him if he is willing to give me a bit of time. He replied that he understands, as it was hard for him at first to face himself being in love with a man older than his dad and that he gay. We ended up back at the porch, and I could feel inside me that I have met Donald almost as if it was for the first time, and I liked this Donald and have the same feeling I had when I met my wife the first time. As we sat down again he started telling me everything. How it all started with his dad. How he caught them and wanted in on it. He really enjoys the sex and all and, yes, he still loves doing stuff with his dad, brother and Jr, but he refused to do anal as he felt he wanted to be with the man he has fallen in love with. He told me when and where he first started having feelings for me. It was on his 10th birthday when he saw me standing in my swimwear at my pool. He had seen me plenty of times like that, but on that day he didn't know why, but it just happened. He was pouring his heart out to me. No more lies, secrets or hinting at things. He told me as he saw it, as he felt it in his heart. I lit a cigarette and he took it from me again. Clearly, he feels that now he is done with hiding things from not only me but from his dad as well as he smoked it. When we finally went inside, it was way past midnight. The others were in bed sleeping. Jr and Dominik were in my bed. John and Trevor were on the couch so we just put a blanket over them. Donald and I went to his bed where we laid next to each other. We fell asleep while I was holding him tight to me and I felt relieved, knowing now that things will never be the same but better. I woke up as I felt Donald getting out of bed. I thought he was going to take a leak and it will be a good time to go wake up those two in my bed before they wet it. As I walked into my room, I found Donald waking them and sending them to the toilet. I just stood there in disbelief that he actually woke the one he clearly didn't think any good of to make sure that Dominik didn't embarrass himself by wetting the bed. How did he know about it? As he passed me, I gave him a hug and a kiss on the forehead. Then he went to the TV room to make sure the two in there were comfy and warm. I went back to bed waiting for him. He climbed in next to me but this time he held me, making me feel safe. We went back to sleep. Donald woke me just before his dad came into the room. It was 4:30 am and I could hear my alarm going off in my room. Donald went to silence the alarm. "Morning" John said and I greeted him back. He asked if everything was ok with me and Donald and I told him yes. I asked if he was ok and he told me that his son made him think and that he asked Trevor what he wanted and not what the twins wanted. Trevor said that he wanted to go live with his mother and that the two of them talked about so many things that he never knew about. He pleaded guilty of seeing them as one unit and not as individuals as he was supposed to. So Donald will stay with him and Trevor with her from the end of summer vacation. And that the rest of visiting rights will be discussed with both of them before he and their mom will decide what will be done. Donald brought us coffee and we chatted some more before we took a shower and headed off to work. Donald came with us while the rest were still sleeping. Donald made sure that the two in my room went for a pee before we left. Normally on Monday mornings, things tend to go wrong. Nothing different about this morning. Some idiot stole power lines during the night and we had to rely on the generators to milk the cows. But, true to Murphy's Law, the generator refused to start up. John and I tried everything to get the thing going, but only after I hit it with a four pound hammer that the thing started working. The trucks picking up the milk were late by a hour, but that worked out great as we were late to start milking anyway. It was after 9am when we could get back home for breakfast. Donald was sitting outside and the other three boys were still sleeping. Trevor did join the others in my bed. I woke them and sent them for a shower, while I was getting breakfast ready. I was too late, John and Donald had started eating some scrambled eggs and toast while the maid was cleaning in the TV room. The phone rang and it was my niece. She told me that they were coming back earlier than expected. Her husband broke his leg and that put a damper on everything. They will arrive early tomorrow morning about 6 am. I was sad but glad in a way as well. I was dreading the rest of the week with Donald clearly not liking Dominik that much, but how am I going to tell him. I went to my bedroom to go and call him so that I can tell him, but I turned around as soon as I opened the door. Trevor was getting some of Dominik's magic finger. Jr was in the kitchen eating his breakfast already. When the two of them finally joined us I could see Trevor had a big smile, so I will tell him later. After breakfast, Jr phoned his mom and she told him she will be coming home with his dad over the weekend, if all goes according to plan. He spoke with his dad as well and we could hear that he missed his parents. We said nothing about hearing his voice cracking up, we just gave him a hug one by one. I told John that he can go to town to get things sorted and the boys and I will handle things today. But John didn't leave by himself as Dominik wanted to go with him. Why I can only imagine, so I will tell him when they get back. The four of us that were left behind decided that we will stick together for the rest of the day. Before we left I asked the maid if she could cook us a special dinner as Dominik will be going home in the morning. I know I told her she could only work till 1pm, but Dominik needed a send-off. She was too happy. We started by doing fence inspection. The boys wanted to stop at the dam but I said no. I knew what they wanted. I was not in the mood for things like that. Back at the office I did admin work. The boys went outside to play. At lunch time, I called them so we could go home. It was clear they were hungry. The maid made us toasted chicken and mayo sandwiches for lunch and it was good. I asked the boys if they wanted to go with me for the rest of the day. They said they would rather stay home and play board games. I had to remind them that the maid was still around and no nudity or funny business was allowed while she was there. I drove back to the office and I saw that John was back and his truck was parked at his house. I walked over to hear if everything is ok. As I walked through the back door to the sound of loud moaning, I knew what they were doing and wanted to turn around. I just had to see and I was hard. They were in the main bedroom on the carpet - John on his back and Dominik riding him. The scene in front of me was so hot that I took my dick out and started stroking it. John saw me and called me over. It was as if something took me over and I stripped as I walked to them. "So you want to feel what anal feels like?" John asked me. I just nodded at him. He indicated that I must come lay down next to them. At first I lay on my back but was soon told to turn around and get on my all fours. I did as I was told. I felt Dominik starting to work my hole with his tongue. John came and sat in front of me his hard dick knocking on my lips. His hard 5.8inch dick had a nice foreskin. I had to pull it back over his thin shaft. Not thin really but he was clearly thinner than I was. I started sucking him. Now I could feel Dominik working his finger into me, each time going deeper. At one stage, I saw him take hold of the KY gel and use it on my hole. I wanted to scream from delight every time he added a finger but I couldn't. John's dick was in my mouth and was going deeper with every gasp I took. "He is ready, all four fingers are in" I heard Dominik say. I felt my hole was stretched wide open. John stood up and Dominik replaced him by sitting in front of me now. When John pressed his dick against my hole, I knew that this will hurt, but I wanted it. He slowly pushed inside me. It was fucking sore, but when he was inside me he stopped and waited till I got use to the feeling. When I started sucking on Dominik, he took it that he could continue. Fuck, that felt good. I was moaning louder and louder with each stroke he took, faster and faster, then slower again. The next thing I knew was that Dominik started sucking me while John was ramming me. I shot a load full into Dominik's waiting mouth, thinking it was over, but John just slowed a bit before picking up speed again. I was in heaven. Dominik came round again and I sucked him like never before. I felt both Dominik and John filling me with their love juices from both sides. I fell down to my stomach as I was spent. Dominik's sweet cum still in my mouth, John leaned over kissing me and stealing Dominik's spunk from me. The three of us took a quick shower and I took my opportunity to speak to Dominik quickly. He was not happy about it but not really as sad as I thought he would be. I still felt John inside me though he was not - he was standing next to me washing his dick. Think my timing was way off with telling Dominik. We got dressed and walked back to the office. John made an excuse, saying he need to go see if everything was clean and hygienic, which gave me and Dominik time to speak alone in the office. "Dominik, I am really sorry that you must go home early, but I can't help it" I told him while we were having sodas. "I know, and I need to come clean with you Peter" he stated while looking me in the eyes. "I have not told you everything, please forgive me." I was puzzled. He told me that when we first met at the wedding, I asked him to suck me for a 100 bucks. He knew I was drunk as I kept saying Donald over and over forgetting his name. I could not remember that, nor could I remember lots of things of that night, including that we were almost caught by his mother. He then asked my niece to help him to go and visit me as he has never been on a farm, and wanted to have a vacation for once and not stay at home, as he always have done before. So my niece convinced his mother that it was a good idea. That's how he ended up with me in the truck. He told me that he thought he was in love with me and met the man of his dreams, but, about Wednesday he started missing his real love - his friend Frankie. All the time he is talking, I just sat there and listened, wondering how I could have missed things like that. He told me that he enjoyed it here and that the sex was good with everyone. Never before did he have so many people around him enjoying sex like he did. He had men having sex with him since he was seven. First it was only sucking and that type of thing, till he started staying over at the neighbour where he first found out what real sex was. He enjoyed it so much and didn't think about anything else, till he met Frankie. Frankie helped him get his grades up again and showed him that there more to life than sex. Yes he and Frankie were not just friends but in a relationship. They were boyfriends and planned to get married one day. He and the neighbour still have sex, but only if Frankie is there. So when he met me, he thought a vacation would be nice away from all sex. He wanted to see if he really loved Frankie and if he really is gay. He didn't know that he would fall in love with me and everyone here. Not the real falling in love thing but starting to love us all as friends. He said that he had to seduce me as he was worried I might send him home early, but that made him realize how he loves sex. That's why he had sex with the boys and me and he seduced Steve as well. He has learned, on this short vacation, that sex doesn't mean love every time. Sex can be sex and one can enjoy it for what it is. But sex with the one you really love is not sex but making love. "So how did you and John end up having sex today and I got into it as well?" I asked him. He told me that he overheard last night what Donald told me and he felt heart broken. Jr wanted to have sex last night but he just went to bed thinking he caused Donald the most hurtful of all pains that there is. He felt Donald's pain, as he was clearly heartbroken. That's why he went with John. He thought it best to be away from Donald and me. He told John about how bad he felt. John told him not to worry as it was all sorted last night, but he still felt bad about it. But he was glad that he joined John as John had no fashion sense at all. He helped choose the new furniture and drapes for the house. John wanted brown drapes with a bright green lounge set.. hell no. "But that doesn't explain what happened at the house today" I replied to him He told me that John and he where talking about all the sex that was going on and that it aroused them, so when they got back they went first to his house to have sex. We sucked each other off and, just as we wanted to leave, we saw you coming. John told me that you have never had anal sex before and wanted to know how it feels. It was John's idea and it worked. "Hope you enjoyed it" he said with a smile but with sorrow behind his eyes. I pulled him in closer and gave him a hug. I think this was hard for him to tell me all. "Peter, may I say one thing more?" he asked while I still hold his head against my chest. "Yes you may" I told him "Peter you love Donald with all your heart and don't try to deny it. When you looked at us boys, you saw nudity, you stared at our private parts, but when you look at Donald you saw Donald and not the nude boy. I could see you handling him as your equal and not like the rest of us as boys. And he loves you in the same way. When you shot his face full of spunk when we shaved you, he was actually trying to save you from embarrassment in front of the rest of us, his face got in the way. He told us if we dare joke with you about it he will beat us up." I stared at him while he told me that. "How does a 13 year old became so wise, and that about love of all things?" I asked playfully. "I am not 13 but 14, it is my birthday today" he replied. O my word I never knew. "Why, you never told me" I asked him "Because I have used you for sex, I have most likely put a wedge between you and Donald." he said I just hugged him more. I was crying now, a happy cry. I told him no matter what, that he will be always welcome in my house and if it wasn't for him I would have never known myself as I do now. I heard someone crying behind me. Both Dominik and I looked at who was crying. It was Donald. My first thought was that he thinks Dominik and I are hitting it off again, but he came straight to Dominik and took him in his arms. "I have heard everything, and I'm sorry if I hated you" Donald started while still crying. "You are not a slut, I take that back. And happy birthday." Both boys where crying, and I was as well. Donald told us that he was actually walking home as he was feeling reel sad and didn't want Trevor or Jr to see it. When he saw me and Dominik going into the office and his dad walking back to the house, he thought he has lost me forever and that the words I had spoken last night were all just a lie. He came to sit under the window to wait so he can bust me. Instead he overheard everything and he could not help crying. It was one big hugging and crying thing after that. John came in and stared at us "What in this world have I missed?" John asked looking at us one by one "John" I said "I love, no I am in love, with your son." Donald looked at me with surprise and amazement. I pulled in Donald and gave him not only a hug, but a deep kiss like lovers will do "Took you long enough" is all John said On our way back to my house, John told me he knew that his son loved me more than he was supposed to. He thought at first it was just normal puppy love, but he thinks it's the real thing. Donald was blushing a bit when his dad told me about the secret picture of me he had under his bed at home. His mom found it and all the excuses he had, but when she and John were alone, she told him that he must be ready to accept his son is gay. Donald's reaction to this was priceless. "So mom knows I am in love with Peter?" he asked going pale in his face, his eyes were big and round. "She knew you were going to be gay and you had a crush on Peter, but she didn't know that he loves you in the same way so it is best keeping it like that" John told him. Back home, we found the maid doing cooking supper. I told her that I will take over but she will not have any of that. She at least let John take her home quickly to fetch the gifts her husband made for Dominik out of the snakeskin. I took this time to phone Eve quickly asking if she can bake a quick birthday cake for Dominik and invited them over for cake and tea at 7pm. She said that she just baked a cake this morning and that she will send it over with Steve but sadly she will not be able to make it. She has a prayer meeting this evening. I called Dominik's mom to make sure she knew that he will be back home tomorrow. She thanked me again and asked if he can come over for a week or so the next vacation. I was very happy about it, but this time Frankie had to come along. I went to go look for the boys. They were sitting outside under the tree, busy with planning something. What, I don't know. I asked them if they wanted to go with me as I need to get stuff for tonight from town. They declined, even Donald. Something is up clearly. I waited for John to arrive back before I left I used the time alone to think as I drove. Things today were hectic and I could still feel John inside me. I liked it. Dominik's words replayed in my head about sex being just sex but with the one you love its making love. That is so true. Do I have feelings for John - I love him as a friend but not as a life partner. Same as with Dominik, Trevor and Jr, I love them as a friend nothing more. Donald....... I love him but I was more in love with him. I stopped at the jeweller and bought Dominik a watch. The jeweller engraved it for me. I bought a necklace as well and had it engraved. I bought some extra sodas and whatever else was needed for the party. On my way back I stopped at the gas station first. The young man was doing a great job in running the place while Shorty was not there. I asked him if he needed anything and replied that I must just tell Shorty, when I phone him again, that he is praying for him and loves him. Wow Shorty too? The rest of the drive was with a song in my heart. I was on my way back to Donald. When I got out my truck back home, the maid came running to me. She told me that the twins were too much for her and I must go and look. When I entered the house I first got angry but then I started laughing. My tummy hurt like hard I was laughing. T he boys found in the old main bedroom some of my old clothes and that of my wife's. There were even some of my old school uniforms. Since the day my wife died, I never went back into that room. But now I felt that I must leave the past in the past and it will be a good time to clear the room out. The boys paraded each outfit they could find. When they had on my wife's clothes, they even walked like little ladies. When the maid saw I was enjoying it she started laughing and enjoying it as well. She told me that she is proud of me of letting go. It was when Dominik came out with my old school uniform on that I went silent. Now I know he looked just as Gary looked. For all knew he could be Gary's son. John brought a few beers and was enjoying the show as well. Donald was the best. He found one of those late 70s tight jeans of mine with a 80s vest that looked like fishnet. Holy shit, he looked sexy so that even John said that he thinks Donald was born in the wrong century After all was done I asked the boys to pack everything nicely on the bed in that room. I went in and asked if they wanted anything, they said no. Just Donald wanted that jean and top, whispering in my ear that it will be used again when we were alone. I wondered what he had planned. I told the maid she must take what she wanted and the rest must be put into boxes so I can give it to the church Then I saw my wife's wedding dress. It was still hanging inside its clear plastic bag. Donald came to me and held my hand. He knew that I was a bit heart sore now. "You know the Fosters daughter is getting married soon and they don't have money. Maybe she can use it to start her life with the one she loves and build her memories starting in her own wedding dress" he said I turned to him, looking at him, tears building up. "Yes you are right, we will drive out tomorrow and give it to her" I kissed him on his lips and I didn't care who saw what. The maid came over and kissed him as well and gave me a hug At 5 pm we ate our supper. And it was a big meal. Pork belly ribs, sweet potatoes, peas and rice. John and the boys didn't speak a word, how one can speak when you keep stuffing your face. Jr whole face shone from the fat on the ribs. After we finished, I gave Dominik my gift saying it comes from all of us. He opened it and his eyes when wild with excitement. He showed all of us the watch and jumped up and kissed all of us. Luckily the maid had gone home. When he put it on his wrist he saw the engraving -family we always will love- He went all silent, this time he came straight to me and gave me a hug, like a son gives his father. "After all I have done and you still regard me as family?" he asked "What have you done, nothing bad. You introduced me to me and you helped me feel happy and in love again" I told him while taking Donald's hand. The rest of the boys gave dog whistles and laughed. John leaned over and said "You had better look after him or you will have hell to pay" Donald gave his dad a hug Then the twins gave their present, it was a bottle of blue food colouring. Donald said that when he feels like being a blue headed alien again, he must use this and remember us all. John gave him an envelope that I had put some cash in. Then I gave him the belt and wallet that came from the farm workers. He was clearly touched with it all. I told the boys to go have a shower before Steve arrives. While they were showering, John and I cleared up quickly. I told John the message for Shorty and he could see in my eyes what I was asking. He confirmed my suspicions. He told me how he and Shorty use to play and how Steve was involved in their teen years. And yes Shorty knew about Jr and him. He even told me that the young man that is standing in for Shorty still visits him and Shorty from time to time. All this happening under my nose and I never knew. Donald came to help wash the dishes. He said the boys where playing and he felt he would rather be with me. The dishes were done in no time. The boys came out of their play den a full half hour later. Dominik told me that I really had a keeper. I understood what he meant. to be continued
