Writer’s Note: My apologies for the delay of this part, leaving you all
hanging as it were.  Things sometimes get in the way, a heavy summer cold,
then a week long house guest and then nearly a month of watching the Little
League Regional Championship baseball playoffs and the Little League World
Series in Williamsport, PA, which is an annual TV watching tradition of
mine.  All those cute young baseball players running and jumping around in
those delightfully tight buns-alicious uniform pants.  Since then I’ve
gotten sidetracked writing a new story, partly true, about a boy I knew and
loved many many years ago.  I’m not sure about the final title yet but it
might just be the boy’s first name.

NOTE: “Shipwrecked” was started 14 and a half years ago.  These first three
parts took a lot of time, both in the original writing and now in the
proofreading and editing.  As you’ve noticed, each part is quite long.
Please be patient as the next part was only partly begun a couple of years
ago and, while I intend to continue the story, it will take some time.
Hopefully you will find it worth the wait.

Near the end of Part Three

He trembled and I thought he was going over the edge right then and there.
But, he seemed to gain control and his natural instincts took over.  He
started to move gently against me.  I was surprised to find how intensely
aroused I was already.  I felt the beginnings of a powerful orgasm.  His
breathing was coming in shorter and shorter gasps.  We both were nearly
there.  As I felt myself rush out of my penis, I slid my hands down over
his small round bottom and held him tight.  My hot cum shot over his young
smooth belly and then he went ridged.  I felt his erection throb against
mine and the warm spurts of his cum covered me.  The two of us were gasping
in passion and holding each other tightly.

We lay there enjoying the warm wetness as we calmed down.  I continued to
softly feel him from his shoulders to down over his bum.  That bottom was
so soft and warm and erotic that I could easily have gone a second round if
I kept feeling him.  But, we had to sleep.

"Kel, could you get my T-shirt on the floor there?"  He reluctantly got up
and we sopped up what we could.  Then we lay back down in each others arms
and pulled up the cover.  We were asleep before the cover settled.


Part Four: Somehow I lost two days

Chapter One: Two found watches, two lost days

Some time during the night I had rolled onto my left side and the cover had
slipped off us both.  My left elbow must not have bothered me much for, as
I awoke, I realized that I was snuggled up with Kel, and very comfortably.
He was on his back and, as a switch, my head was resting on his shoulder.
He had his arm around my neck.  His other arm held mine as it draped across
his stomach.  My right leg was over his.  I dared not move for fear of
waking him.

After a moment he stirred and my right arm was freed from his hold.  I
gently lifted it and rested it on my side.  I was curious to look at his
body.  It was so smooth, so hairless.  His people were all nearly hairless.
Even full grown men had just a thin patch of pubic hair just above their
penises.

As I looked over his slightly rounded belly, he was a little stocky, I
could see his pubic area.  He had just that small patch of hair.  His penis
looked to be nearly full grown and, when erect, I would guess it at maybe 5
to 5 and a half inches.  His testicles were quite large and round, they
didn't hang much.  He was uncircumcised.  The overall affect, for a young
man of his small stature, was that he looked very well endowed.

As I looked at him remembering our pleasure together the night before and
in spite of the need for an early morning pee, I started to get aroused.
Something I did, maybe my breathing, must have awakened Kel because as I
continued to look, his beautiful penis slowly lengthened into hardness.  My
mouth watered.

He moved his right arm from around me to scratch his head.  I lifted my
head and looked up at him.  "Hi."

He smiled sleepily at me.  "Hi."

"Did you sleep well Kel?"

"Yes, thank you."  He yawned and stretched making little squeaking noises.
I had to roll away to let him stretch to the fullest and I lay on my back.
The moment he finished his stretch he rolled to me and wrapped himself
around me.

"Oh, I want to stay in your arms,” he sighed.  “I feel so warm and safe
with you here."

With his head on my chest, it was his turn to rest his gaze on my pubic
area.  He ran his hand over my hairy stomach but ventured no further down.

"We are so different down there aren't we."  I said just as a matter of
fact.

Still he moved his hand around but no further down.  "Yes, but I like you
down there.  I like you all over."  He kissed my chest.

I replied. "I think you are beautiful down there and I love you all over."

He giggled.  "I love you all over more."

"I just plain love you."  I retorted and tickled him gently under his arm.

"He squeaked and giggled again.  Then he rose up and gave me a quick kiss.
"I have to pee!"

It was early.  The sun was just coming up.  So I didn't even think of
putting on shorts.  As we walked out, Kali waved from the cook house and I
rushed to cover myself resulting in laughs from her and Kel.  I ducked
behind the side wall and looked back around, trying to be silly.  Kali held
up a pile of clothes.  They were the ones that Kamiki had salvaged.  I
waved and said thanks but quickly continued on to the outhouse.

Kel was still laughing at me.  "You are a silly man John.  I like being
silly too."

"I guess I'll have to get used to being naked."

He chuckled.  "I wont mind."

We relieved ourselves and my morning mouth reminded me of my lost
toothbrush.  "Kel, how do you clean your teeth here?"

"Come, I will show you."  He was always pleased to show me how they did
something here or explain anything.  He went down the trail towards the
beach looking at the bushes.  When he found just the right small branch he
broke it off.  It was maybe one-eighth to three-sixteenths of an inch in
diameter.  He cleaned all the little shoots off and rubbed the end on a
rock to fray it.

"Take the end and rub your teeth gently.  It will get looser and some of it
will fit between your teeth and clean them.  The sap will help and it
doesn't taste bad.  A good twig like this will last weeks if you just do it
each morning."

He started back.  "Thank you Kel.  I like learning these things from you.
What about your teeth?"

"I have one in the house.  Let's look at it.  You can see how the end has
loosened up."

I tried very hard to not blush as we walked past the cook house and Kali's
renewed laughter.  Kel went to the small chest of drawers and opened a
drawer.  "Oh!  Here is my father's razor.  We can go to the cook house and
you can shave.  Kali will have hot water and there are some of the roots
for soap."

He handed me an old but very well kept straight razor.  I had no idea of
how to use it, being an electric shaver man and had visions of slipping and
cutting my throat.  "Thank you Kel."  It was a very weak thank you.

"Oh my!"  He exclaimed as he picked up a small basket from the corner.  It
was the one that the cell phone and picture had been in.  "I forgot these.
I hope you wont be angry with me.  I took them off your arms when we
brought you here that first night."

I knew it the second he spoke.  He handed me the two watches that I had put
on after I had finished rigging up the sweep and setting sail back toward
Auckland.

I took the first one and checked to see if it was still working.  It was
... but ... "Oh my God!"  I sat heavily on the bed.

Kel looked stricken like maybe he had done a bad thing again.  "Wha
... what is wrong?  Did I do something wro ..."

"No, no, Kel" I cut him off and reassured him.  "Let me see the other one
please."  I checked the second watch and it confirmed what I saw on the
first.  "Oh my God."  It was all I could say.  I was amazed.

Kel was almost panicky.  "Please tell me John.  What did I do wrong?"

I put my hand on his arm.  "Oh no, Kel.  No.  You did nothing wrong.  It's
just a shock and I held up the watches.  It's two days later than I
thought.  Somehow I lost two days."

I was now just thinking out loud and Kel just stood there listening.
“Considering the two days that I slept here, it must have been just after
the wave hit when I slept on the boat by the ladder.  I must have slept a
whole day.  Then the time I slept after setting the storm jib, I must have
slept a whole day then too.  That would explain the weather having improved
so fast.  I must have been far more exhausted than I thought.  God, was I
lucky! ..."

I continued, getting louder and almost ranting.  Kel started to fidget and
now had a concerned look on his face "... At any time another wave could
have swamped us and killed me.  If I had slept more I might have been
asleep when we hit ... wait!"

Now I was shouting.  "If it's two days later ... then ... Jesus!  I'm two
days farther along the course.  I'm not even where I thought I was.  No
wonder Great uncle said the Kermadec Islands were far to the south."

Kel was near tears now and grabbed my arm.  "John, stop it.  You are
scaring me."  He was almost pleading.

I stopped as suddenly as I had gotten going.  "Oh Kel.  Oh my.  I'm so
sorry."  I hugged him while I calmed down.

After a few moments I looked at him and then looked down at the two
watches.  I had calmed down.  "Here."  I held one out to him.  "You share
your father's razor with me and I'll share one of my watches with you."

He recovered as quickly as I did and put it on his wrist with a proud regal
sort of flourish.  "You know.  I can read books and I can read the watch
too.  My father taught me."

I laughed.  "It's not like we have a real need for them though."

He laughed too.  "Yes but we will be the only two in the village with them.
Everyone will know that you are mine and I am yours."

That struck me and I remembered thinking last night that there were things
that I still had to talk with Kel about and decide about.  But later, I
thought.

"That is sweet Kel.  I will wear mine proudly."

His broad smile reminded me of teeth.  "So tell me Kel, am I using the
tooth stick right?" I tried to brush my teeth with the stick but it was
very awkward.  He got his out of the drawer and demonstrated.  We both got
to giggling trying to clean our teeth while watching each other.  I
eventually got the knack and it seemed to work well enough.

Then my stomach growled loudly.  "Kel?  I think that I will take a bite out
of you if I don't get something to eat."  I lunged at him with a roar and
he squealed in delight and scampered out the door and to the cook house.  I
followed at a more dignified pace befitting my age.

Just as I came out Great Uncle did as well.  "What is after that boy?"

"I am."  I laughed.  "I told him I was going to take a bite out of him if I
didn't get something to eat."

The old man slapped his thigh and guffawed so hard I thought he would have
a heart attack.  "It seems you two are getting along and from what I heard
last night ..."  He let that trail off as he saw my face go red.  "Don't
let an old man embarrass you John.  You two are in love and the sounds of
love bring back good memories for this old man."

"Great Uncle?  You are indeed a kind and wise man.  Which brings me to an
important question.  I need to do my share here."

"I knew you would ask in time.  Kamani, Maki and I have long talked of a
need that perhaps you could fill.  As you have noticed, we are aware of the
rest of the world.  We do like our quiet life here but there is much that
we would like to learn.  Kel's father went to school and came back to share
what he had learned.  Then he was lost to the sea.  Perhaps you would think
about it and consent to teach in the school house."

I felt a surge of interest ... no, enthusiasm.  "You have a school house?
I would like to see it."

"Yes, we do.  There are some books and tools as well I think.  Perhaps
later we could go see."

I was excited.  "Yes, I would like that.  Kel and I need to bring up the
things from the boat that Kamiki found.  Then what I don't leave here we
can take to Maki's and Kamani's and then the village."

"I will help you then.  There is a pull cart on the other side of the
house.  It is what Little Kel and I carried you in when we brought you up
from the beach.  Let us eat first.  I think that Kel is to tough to bite.”

He walked with me over to the cook house cackling at his humor.  Kali had
some of the fruit rolled up in the bread and, of all things, hot tea with
some juice to sweeten it.  It was a delightful breakfast


Part Four: Somehow I lost two days

Chapter Two: Kamiki the salvage master

After eating and brushing my teeth again to make up for so many days of not
brushing, I asked Kali (Yes, I was still naked and blushing somewhat.  But,
I was bound and determined to get past it.) for some hot water and the soap
roots.  I lathered up my beard right then and there.  An old cracked mirror
was in the other end of the cook house.

Kali watched and then quickly spoke up. "John Fuller, you will cut
yourself.  Have you never shaved before?  You are as bad as my man was.
Here, let me do it.”  She took the razor and did a very professional job.

I stroked my now naked chin and smiled.  "Kali, you did that very properly.
Thank you."

"Herumpf!"  She grunted.  "From the looks of all that fur on you I will
have to shave you every day.  I only had to shave my man twice a week."

I laughed at her delightful grumpiness.  "I am a fast learner Kali.  Don't
worry."

Just then Kel and Great Uncle came around the other end of the house with
the pull cart.  It was a rather familiar looking one too.  You know, like
the ones you can get for yard work at most any home center.  The box was a
large rectangular basket of woven palm leaves and sticks, with vines used
to tie the sticks into a frame.  A couple of pieces of wood looked to be 2
by 4's rescued from the sea and a metal bar, from who knew where, made up a
bed and single axle.  The wheels had clearly once been part of a bicycle.
It worked quite well.

The three of us set off for the beach taking turns pulling the cart.  When
we broke out into the clearing, there was Kamiki and a new pile of salvaged
items.  It seemed like days since we had been here and seen Kamiki but it
was only yesterday.  However, much had happened between Little Kel and I,
making it just seem longer.

"Hello!" He shouted and waved as we came into the clearing.

We all greeted him as we pulled up the cart.  "Well done, Kamiki.  I see
you have added to the pile."

He was pleased by my praise and puffed up a bit.  "I noticed that from
where your boat hit the reef, much drifted around the point.  Then from
where it sank after rolling over the reef into the lagoon, more drifted.
So I came back after lunch and went around the point.  I carried all this
over the bluff."

"I am very impressed Kamiki."  I was actually trying not to seem too
excited as I poked through the stuff.  If there was a working EPIRB I could
turn it on and rescue would come within days, maybe even hours.  But, I
also wanted to avoid upsetting Kel again.  We still had to talk about the
possibility of rescue.  There were some useful items but no electronics.
Strange, I thought.

Great Uncle was equally impressed with Kamiki.  "Well done young man, I am
proud of you."

I walked over to the piles that Kel and I had made yesterday for giving to
those who had come to my aid.  "Great Uncle.  Here are some foam rubber
mattresses.  I thought that two would fit nicely on your sleeping platform
and two on Kel's."

"Ours."  Kel's little voice said.

"Huh?"

"Our sleeping platform."  He replied with a little more confidence.

I thought I heard a little chuckle from Kamiki.  "Yes Kel.  I'm sorry.  Our
sleeping platform."

The old man went over to one of the mattresses and poked at it.  "It is far
too soft for these old bones.  Thank you John but I am happy with the bed
the way it is."

"Maybe you and Kel will need all four."  Kamiki said with a snicker.  "Two
now and when you wear them out you still have two more."  Then he was
really giggling.

Kel made to run at Kamiki but I grabbed him.  "Wait Kel.  That is a good
idea.  I was going to offer them to Kamiki but maybe we should keep them
for ourselves, just in case.  Besides, I think he is just envious."

The last word went over Kamiki’s head but clearly Kel and Great Uncle knew
its meaning as they both burst out laughing.

Kamiki's jaw just dropped and he stammered.  "You would give them to me?
Really?"

Kel's laughter doubled in volume.  "Yes Kamiki, for you and the wild sow
that grazes in Maki's meadow,” Kel laughed.  Tears of triumphant laughter
were streaming down his cheeks.

I felt bad for Kamiki and had to end this before the old man had a heart
attack from his own laughter.  "Okay Kamiki.  You take two then.  You have
more than earned them.  Great Uncle?  Would you like one of the sails?  You
could make Kali's roof stronger or maybe the cook house."

He looked pleased that I asked.  "Thank you again John but I am an old man
and do not need anything.  You and Kel keep what you might use.  Then you
can take what is left to the others.  They will be most honored and
pleased."

"Okay then."  I pulled up the cart.  "Let's pile the mattresses on."

Once the mattresses were loaded I added two spinnakers on top.  They were
huge but light, being made from nylon.  "We can each carry another sail as
well and Great Uncle, can you pull the cart?"  He nodded.  Good.  Kamiki,
is your house nearby?"

"Yes John.  It is just a little ways past Great Uncle's on a path to the
left."  He had a very pleased look.

We hauled everything back to the house and dropped two Mattresses off and
the two spinnakers that I thought would be most useful to us.  I took the
opportunity to put on my running shorts much to everyone's amusement.

"What?"  I asked, knowing full well what they all were giggling and
laughing at.  "Oh.  Well, like Great Uncle said, I wouldn't want to
frighten anyone."  That only served to renew their laughter.

With the laughing subsiding, we piled the rest of the sails on top of the
two remaining mattresses and headed for Kamiki's house.  Great Uncle
decided to stay.  He said that he would rebuild Kel's ... ah, I beg your
pardon ... our sleeping platform to include the two mattresses.  Then he
would be sitting in one of the rockers by the door, waiting until we came
back for more.

The cart pulling was left to me as the two boys walked on ahead.  Kamiki
seemed to be asking Kel a lot of questions.  Kel appeared to be declining
to answer and blushing.  Finally he gave Kamiki a not too friendly shove
and came back to walk with me.  Kamiki just laughed as he looked back over
his shoulder and kept walking ahead.

"That Kamiki's nose is going to get to know my fist someday."  Kel said
with some hurt and frustration.

I tried on my peacemaker hat.  "Kel, before I came, did you and Kamiki see
each other much?"

"Yeah, all the time.  Every day.  Sometimes we would even stay overnight at
the house we were at when the sun went down.  I don't know how I could
stand him then."  He looked pretty frustrated.

"Sounds like you were very good friends." I continued.  "Since I washed up,
how much have you seen him?"

Now he looked more confused than frustrated.  "Since I found you, just
yesterday morning and now."

"Do you trust me Kel?"

"Yes."

"Then be patient with Kamiki.  He has lost his best friend to someone he
feels he can't compete with, someone you love.  I'm too big and too much
older so he can't safely pick on me.  But he can pick on you to show you
how he's hurting.  He misses you and he will need time to adjust to the
idea that things are different.  Try to be kind to him too.  Talking wont
help.  Just be patient.  He's a good boy and, if he's a true friend, he
will come to see that you still like him and still want to be his friend."
I tousled his shaggy head of hair.  "I love you Kel."

He smiled up at me with a full set of dimples.  "I love you too!"  Then he
ran back up to Kamiki, made a nasty sound and, laughing happily, ran on
ahead with Kamiki in hot pursuit.

The two went around a bend in the trail to the left and when I got to that
same bend I realized that we were in Kamiki's yard.  A very pregnant woman
came out of the small house and waved.  There was a small girl with her and
I knew that she must be Lani (La knee), Kamiki's little sister.

As we walked up, Kamiki was very polite to the woman and introduced us
quite properly.  "John Fuller, this is my mother, Leni (Leh Nye).  Mother,
this is John Fuller."

"Good day John Fuller."  Her voice was every bit as musical as all the
islanders.

"And good day to you Leni.  It is a pleasure to meet you.  Kamiki has been
most helpful.  You must be very proud of him."  Then I looked at the shy
little girl hiding behind her.  "And you must be Lani.  You are very
pretty."

Leni smiled with pride for both of her children.  "Oh, Kamiki is indeed a
good boy ... most of the time."  Kel snickered and got a little shove from
Kamiki.  Lani continued to be very shy and ran around behind the house.

"Well, I want to do something to show my thanks for his help.  There are
two foam rubber mattresses here and I'd like to ... "

Kamiki cut me off.  "They are for you and father and the baby!  Come see
how soft they are."  He was genuinely excited.

Kel looked surprised but I was very impressed with Kamiki.  As Leni walked
carefully over to the cart and poked at the mattresses, I winked at Kamiki
and he beamed.

Just then a man came around the house with Lani.  Kamiki shouted.  "Father,
you must meet John Fuller!  John Fuller, this is my father, Kam (Cam)."
The man was tall for these people and lanky with heavily wrinkled features
from working long hours in the sun and weather.  kamiki clearly took after
his mother.  As I extended my hand he put down his arm load of fish nets
and gave me a strong, though fish smelling, hand shake.

"Hello.  Kamiki talks all day of your boat and the things he finds.  I am
sorry for your bad fortune."  He gave me a warm smile and looked over at
the cart.  "What is all this?"

Before Kamiki could explain Kel blurted out.  "Kamiki brought these for
you, Leni and the baby."  I stroked the back of the boy's neck with love.

"Is this true John Fuller?"

"Yes Kam.  Kamiki has been a big help and certainly has earned his pick of
what he saved from my boat.  I think he will be a fine big brother for your
new baby."

The man looked thoughtful for a moment and then asked.  "Please, wait a
moment."  Then he went quickly behind the house and returned in a moment
with a basket containing a very large fish and handed it to me.

I must have looked confused but Kel explained.  "John, a gift is never left
unanswered.  To not accept is bad manners."

"Thank you Kam.  It will make a fine evening meal and then some."  I again
shook his hand.

Kel and Kamiki quickly unloaded the two mattresses and carried them into
the house.  When he returned, Kel was eager to move along and explained;
“John and I must go to see Maki now and then into the village.  I want him
to meet more of our people.”

He grabbed my hand and started tugging.  I laughed at his enthusiasm.

"It has been a pleasure meeting you all.  Kamiki, thank you again.  I guess
we will see you back at the clearing by the beach.  That is if Kel hasn't
worn me out with his eagerness to show me around.”

We waved as Kel pulled me down the path toward Maki's.

At Maki's we found the man in his meadow tending to a goat that was tangled
in a vine.  He waved and walked down to us on the path.  Kel moved over by
my side and slipped his arm around my waste.  My arm automatically went
over his shoulder.  I was pleased by his open show of affection in front of
Maki.  It was his way of telling Maki that he had made things right between
us.

Maki's smile broadened. "Hello Kel!  Hello John!  I am glad to see you are
both looking much happier today.  How is that elbow John?”  He took my arm
and gently turned it to look.

"It is almost all better Maki.  Thank you again for that."

"Oh, it was nothing.  That is what I do here.  Tend to people and the goats
and chickens."  Then he peered at the pile on the cart.  "John, are these
the sails from your boat?"

"Yes.  If you remember I mentioned yesterday that we would be back with
some things for you and Kamani.  I'm sure you could use one of these for
something."

He scratched his chin for a moment and then nodded.  "We can certainly put
one to good use I am sure.  Please wait just a moment.  I must get
something."  He walked quickly off toward his chicken coop.

Kel spoke quietly to me.  "He had to think what he would give you in return
before he accepted your gift."

I whispered back.  "Am I causing embarrassment or any problems making these
gifts Kel?"

He giggled.  "No!  They love it.  It's a game of friendship.  You are
making very good friends."

Just then Maki trotted back with a small wooden cage containing a very
indignantly cackling chicken.  "Here is a fine evening meal for your house
John."  As he said this there came a commotion back in the meadow.  The
goat, or another one, had become tangled in the same vine.  "I must run
back to save that silly goat.  I will see you on your return trip I am
sure.  Thank you both for the sail."

Kel hefted off one of the two remaining sails and placed it by the gate to
the meadow.  The chicken went, complaining loudly, into the cart right next
to the fish.  The fish was covered by damp seaweed to keep it relatively
fresh but Kel was right, we would have to pour some water on it at the next
stop.  Then we would have to get it back as soon as we could so that Kali
could cook it for both the noon and evening meals.

Again we waved as we set out down the path.  "Kel.  Why did he say my
house?"

"Oh.  He knows that we are together now.  So, our house is your house as
well."  He said it just as if it were an everyday thing.  I wasn't sure why
but I thought it odd.  So, I chalked it up to different cultures.

We were in the open now and the sun was getting hot.  Both of us were
getting quite sweaty and dirty in the dust from the path.  "Kel." I asked.
"Is it always so dusty on the path?  I am getting very dirty again."

"It is the dry season and this is a dry area because of the wind."  He
enjoyed teaching me about his island home.  Then he put on a sweet little
smile.  "Perhaps we can go back up to the falls for a bath later."

"Just a bath?"  I teased.

He answered by slipping his arm around my waste again.  I put mine back
around his shoulders and by the time we reached the trees on the other side
of the wide meadow we both showed distinctive signs of our feelings for
each other.  Once in the trees we stopped, looked around and then embraced.
The kiss was soft and loving.  "Kel, you are so sweet."

"And sexy?"  It was his turn to tease a little.

I chuckled.  "Oh yes.  Very sexy."

"We could go into the woods here and ... "  His voice trailed off.  He
looked very much in need but showed some will power.  "Perhaps we should
wait.  It will be nicer to lie with you up by the falls."

I kissed him again quickly.  "Yes, the falls are very romantic.  It will be
nice there later."


Part Four: Somehow I lost two days

Chapter Three: The Village

We moved on down the path and by the time we reached the next clearing we
had calmed down to more presentable states.  This new clearing opened onto
a flat grove like area with occasional palm trees and small house/hut
combinations scattered here and there with paths running every which way.
Looking to the left you could see all the way down to the shore.  There I
could see a wide long strand of beautiful grayish pink sand.  Again
punctuated by palm trees, this beach was the rival of any I had seen
advertised in resort brochures.  About 100 yards off the beach was the
reef, so the lagoon was calm.  Half a dozen small outrigger canoes were
lined up on the shore.  It was a scene right out of a south sea romance
movie.

There were a number of people about and some children.  As we progressed
through what was clearly the village, many of the adults greeted Kel with a
kind word and nodded at me with a smile.  The children chased after us with
a bit more curiosity and it was obvious that Kel was looked up to by many
of them.

I patted the first little one’s head that came within reach before Kel
quietly explained to me that it was considered rude to touch someone’s
head.  When I asked about it, he said that he wasn’t quite sure where the
tradition came from.  However, he seemed to think that patting a shoulder
or back was okay.

Then he directed me to one of the small houses.  "That one is Kamani's
house."

There was no one at home so we left the cart and walked down to the beach.
The sand was soft and hot.  It had a gray cast to the pink coral color and
I asked Kel about it.

He explained.  "This island is made from the mountain.  The mountain
rumbles and sends liquid rock down its side to make new land."

"You mean that the mountain is an active volcano?"  I asked with more than
a little concern.

There must have been a little tremble to my voice because Kel sensed it and
tried to calm my nervousness.  "Oh, do not worry.  It has not done that
since even before Great Uncle’s grandfather was born."  Then he went on to
explain the sand.  "The beach is this color because the sand comes from the
coral and the mountain.  The coral is pink and the mountain is black."

"I see and that is why the sand is so hot."  I was thinking out loud.  "The
black sand gets hotter from the sun than the pink sand."

Kel was smarter than he let on.  "Yes, that is right.  Your feet will get
used to the heat if you stop wearing those silly shoes.  Just as your
privates will get used to the sun if you stop wearing your shorts.  I think
you look better without them."

"I think he would look better without them too Kel."  The voice came from
behind me and I must have jumped because of the follow up comment.  "Sorry
mate, didn't mean to startle ya'."

"Kel giggled. "John, you are blushing.  This is Maliki and Miki.”

Before me, hand in hand, stood a very handsome young island man of about 20
or so and a clearly white man of about my age.

"Maliki and Miki, this is John Fuller."

The white man stuck out his hand to me.  "You're catching flies John.
Pleased to finally meet ya'.  Tough luck about your boat.  I'm Miki, by the
way.  And this handsome bloke here is Maliki"

I was in shock.  I had no idea there was another white man on the island.
I closed up my fly trap and shook his hand.  He had a firm grip.  "Sorry,
you sure did surprise me though."

"Yeah?"  He grinned.  "Was it our holding hands?"

I laughed and took Kel's hand in mine.  "Oh.  No, it was your not being an
islander.  I had no idea."  I held out my hand to Maliki and we shook.  I
nodded with a smile.

"Oh, yeah.  Well, I dropped in here about 10 years ago and this young
fella' stole my heart and I've been here ever since."  He clapped Kel on
the shoulder.  "I did help this lad's father to go to school in New Zealand
though."

Kel shuffled his feet but stood straight.  "I have all my father's books
still Miki and my reading is much better."

"He got his hooks in ya' John?” Miki asked with a good natured chuckle.
“The way you two look at each other it seems he has.”

My blush returned.

"Well, the world could learn a thing or two from these nice people,” Miki
continued” “Kel is a good man and I wish you both the best."

"Thank you Miki ... Miki ... "  I turned the name over on my tongue.  "Your
name is really Michael?"

He nodded. "Yep but Miki is what they like and so do I.  We have to move
along but if you're lookin' for Kamani, he'll be back soon.  He had an
errand to run.  See ya’ later mate.”  They started to walk down the beach
again, hand in hand.

I called after them.  "It was very nice to meet you two.  I will enjoy
talking more sometime Miki."  He waved back over his shoulder.

We watched them get farther away and then Maliki, who was small in stature
like Kel, slipped his arm around Miki's waist and Miki put his arm around
Maliki's shoulders.  I looked at Kel and he looked at me and we both smiled
and laughed with happiness.

“Maliki doesn’t talk much?” I asked Kel.

“I think he was just quiet because he doesn’t know you.” The lad replied.

I turned and looked back toward the village.  ”Well young man, if Kamani
isn't there we will have to come back.  That fish isn't going to be much
good if we don't get it back to Kali soon."  We walked back to Kamani's
house and not finding him there we started to leave.

"Kel!  John Fuller!"  The shouts came from the far side of the village.  It
was Kamani and he came trotting up all out of breath.  "Oh.  Oh!  I'm
getting too old for this."  He huffed and puffed.

"Good day Kamani."  I felt I should be very proper.  He had been rather
formal when he came to see me at Great Uncle’s.

"Well, it is a good day.  It is a good day to see you well and to hear from
Maki that you two are together.  It is good for Kel, for you and for us
all.  I am so happy."

His broad smile and more informal way this time made me relax a bit.  "We
have brought you one of John's sails."  Kel pointed to the cart.  "Perhaps
you can put it to good use."

Again the ritual of gift giving had to be observed.  "That is most kind of
you John Fuller and I have something for you."  He leaned in the door of
his house and picked up a two liter plastic soda bottle full of a dark
liquid.  "Enjoy this with that fine looking fish tonight."

"Thank you Kamani."  I must have looked skeptical.

Kamani laughed.  "Take a taste John Fuller.  It is Miki's brew and a fine
brew it is indeed."

I hesitated and then did think that my throat was a bit dry.  So, I
unscrewed the cap and took a mouth full.  It was a smooth and rich wine
from some unknown fruit.  "Oh wow!  That is very good.  Thank you again
Kamani."

I was about to recap it when little hands took the bottle from me and
before I could object Kel had taken a good slug and announced; "Kamani,
please tell Miki that this is his best yet."  Then he recapped the bottle
and put it in the cart with the fish and the noisy chicken.

I just stared at him and then burst out laughing.  He turned and gave me a
reproachful look.  “Why do you laugh John?"

I slapped my leg still laughing.  All I could say was; "Later.  Later."

Every once in a while Kel showed a dignity beyond his years and it just
blew me away.  He would be a dear sweet boy at one moment and then a man
with pride and dignity would make a brief appearance.  So much here was
understated and I suspected that Kel's intelligence and the extent of the
education that his father had passed on to him before he died was far more
than I had so far seen and he has let on.

Even Kamani gave a good natured chuckle.  "I will pass along your approval
Kel.  Now, before I run off again, as I have some one else to see, here’s
some water to pour over your fish before it dries out.”  He handed Kel a
large plastic water jug.

Then he turned to me.  “Oh, John.  May I call you John?"

"Of course,” I nodded my head.

"Thank you.  I have heard that you might be willing to teach.  Is that
true?"  He looked hopeful.

"Why yes, it is."  I wondered and marveled at the communications here.
There must be a good grape-vine.  How did he know of what Great Uncle and I
discussed only this morning?

Kel was excited by the idea. "Oh John!  That would be wonderful!  You can
use my father's books."

"Well good then.  Let us plan to get together with Maki to work it out."
He excused himself and trotted off again.  "Maybe tomorrow?  Sorry, but I
must run off again.  Good day to you both."

With that, Kel and I waved and headed off back to Kel’s house.  Well, our
house.  I hoped we were in time to cook the fish for lunch.  I was
starving.


Part Four: Somehow I lost two days

Chapter Four: Kel gives a nature talk and Kali cooks the big fish

With the cart much lighter, the going was easier and faster and Kel helped
pass the time pointing out different kinds of plants and what many of the
uses were that we could make of them.  For example; the leafy part of the
soap root plant, which we never got to try up at the falls last night, is a
good skin moisturizer and healer.  Another leaf makes a good tea to help
sleeping.  There was a reddish leaf that was good to put on a small cut or
scrape.  Of course, there were many that were good to eat and some that
would make you sick.  I decided that I would leave those choices up to
Kali.

The wild life was everywhere.  Insects I refuse to discuss.  I’m sure they
serve purposes unknown to me but I hate 'em all.  There are too many birds
to describe and they come in a huge assortment and combination of colors.
They are gloriously beautiful and make the most amazing variety of sounds
but, best of all, they eat insects!  The one thing I was amazed to learn
from Kel was that there were no poisonous snakes or lizards.  Relatively
nearby Australia has, if memory serves, 10 of the worlds most deadly
snakes.  Don't get me wrong, there were snakes and lizards but they kept to
themselves or just plain ignored humans.  The lizards especially.  If they
were perched on a rock sunning, there was nothing that would get them to
move short of rolling them off or rolling the rock out from under them.

Of the animals one would be likely to see, there were wild pigs, monkeys
and, of course, rats and mice.  Domesticated animals included a few head of
cattle, mainly milk cows, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens and naturally dogs
and cats.  kel said that they had a dog but when it died, recently, after a
fight with a wild pig.  They had never found another that they liked.
However, they did think that they might get a puppy next time a litter was
born in the village.

Just as we finished discussing the wild life we were passing Maki's place.
He was relaxing under a tree with the remains of his noon meal.  We were
just about to call out when he let out a loud snore.  It appeared that it
was his noon nap as well.  So we quietly continued on to the house passing
the path to Kamiki's house.

It was just after high noon when we entered the yard.  "Kali!  Great uncle!
Where is everyone?"  We called out.

Kali came out quickly from Great Uncle's room.  "Quiet you two.  He is very
tired from this morning."

"Is he alright?" Kel sounded concerned.

"Oh yes."  Kali said.  "He completely rebuilt your sleeping platform and is
napping now."

I wondered if maybe kali and the old man were more than just friends.
Well, I thought.  If that is so, good for them.

"John, come and look!"  Kel was calling from his ... our room.  "Look at
what Great Uncle did."

The sleeping platform looked fit for a king.  The supports for the platform
had been cut so, with the two mattresses on top, it would be the same
height as before.  I noticed too that some extra supports had been added to
accommodate my extra weight.  I wondered, with a smile, if he also pictured
us as "active" occupants.  The two mattresses fit almost perfectly.  They
were canvas covered and so, he had covered them with one of the softer
blankets.  He had also made a curtain for our doorway like the one on his.

"Kel, your Great Uncle obviously cares for your comfort and happiness.  He
has done a beautiful job."

“And yours as well,” he said as he slipped his arm around my waist again,
it was becoming a nice habit.  Then he whispered to me.  "It looks so
comfortable.  I can't wait to sleep on it with you.”

I ran my hand up and down his back and gave him a little sideways hug.

We went back out and pulled the cart over to Kali in the cook house.  My
stomach decided to growl just then, like this morning, and they both looked
at me.  "You are always making hunger noises John."  Kel said with a
chuckle.

"I can't help it."  I felt defensive so I diverted their attention from my
stomach to what would soon fill it … I hoped.  "Kali, look at what we have.
A huge fish and a chicken."

She went over and sniffed the fish.  "Well, it should be cooked right away
but it's not cleaned.  Kel why don't you show John Fuller how to clean a
fish.  I'll get the fire ready."

"Ugh!  I hate cleaning fish."  Kel didn't grumble often so when he did it
was for good reason.  I hated cleaning fish too.

"That's okay my friend.  I've cleaned a fish or two in my day.  Show me
where and let's get it over with."  Trying to find the bright side I added,
"besides, it will be another reason to go up to the falls for that bath."

Well it wasn't long before Kel and I started getting sloppy and silly.
Soon we were fooling around throwing fish guts at each other.  The laughing
finally gave us away and Kali came out to scold us.  "When you children are
through playing, I'd like to cook that fish.  If there is any of it left
fit to eat."

Kel's adolescence kicked in.  "I'm not a child."  He declared defensively.

I grabbed him around the waist and hefted him over my shoulder.  "This
smells the most like a fish Kali.  Where's the fire?"  And I started for
the cook house with Kel squealing and wriggling on my shoulder.

"Oh!  Boys!"  Kali was disgusted.

I put Kel down and swatted his cute butt and he swatted mine right back but
laughing.  "I'm sorry Kali.  It's just that I feel so much better.  Thanks
in no small part to your wonderful cooking.  May I watch as you cook Kel?"
My butt got another swat.  But this one not at all hard and his hand even
lingered a moment.  "Opps, I mean the fish."

I watched as Kali prepared to bake the fish.  First she washed it off and
then she filled the inside with some leaves and something that smelled like
garlic.  Then she wrapped it in some very large green leaves that she said
were banana leaves.  I made a note to ask Kel where the bananas were.  I
love bananas.  The leaves were very moist and she applied a number of
layers.  She explained that this would steam the fish and bake it.

The fire, on one side of the large fireplace, had turned to a large pile of
very hot coals.  There was a grating over them and the fish went on that.
To the right the fire was still going strong and a large black pot was
steaming.  Kali seemed to always be prepared if hot water were needed.  As
this fire made coals, they were raked over and added to the fire on the
left so it was kept as hot as possible.  She turned the fish only once,
seeming to know by pure instinct when the time was right.

Then, when she felt it was done, she took it off the fire.  I noticed that
she had two identical and very interesting implements for doing this.  They
were made of what looked like two very fibrous looking strips of wood about
18 inches long, one and a half inches wide and maybe one-eighth of an inch
thick.  They were separated at one end by a short piece of wood and tied
there very tightly.  This made a pair of tongs and she used two of them to
lift the heavy fish.

She laid it out on the table and used the tongs to unwrap the hot leaves.
The aroma made my stomach growl even louder and longer.  When I didn't hear
a giggle or wise crack from Kel I noticed for the first time that he wasn't
there.  "Where did Kel go?"  I asked Kali.

"Oh.  I know he put the chicken on the work bench and then he went out in
the yard.  He isn't interested in cooking."

I felt bad.  Like Maybe I had ignored him.  So, I set out to find him.  I
looked all over and then noticed that the cart was gone.  Just as I started
down the path towards the beach I saw him coming back up.  He had gone down
there and filled the cart up with the rest of the sails, the 5 gallons of
diesel fuel and my weather proof case of DVR hard drives.

As he came up the path I yelled.  "Well, aren't you the busy beaver!  The
fish is almost ready to eat."

"Good.  Now my stomach is making hungry noises too."

"Ha.  You should have heard mine when Kali opened the wrappings and I
smelled it.  It sounded like thunder."

He giggled and his eyes sparkled.  "It takes a big belly for that."

I gave him a raspberry and a smile.  Then I thanked him for bringing more
stuff up.

"What is a 'busy beaver'?"  he asked.

"Oh.  A beaver is an animal from where I live.  It keeps very busy working
very hard."  I thought again about teaching here and the idea of it was
very appealing.  "I will tell you more about them another time.  Let me
help you with this and then let's eat."

As we came up the path, Great Uncle was standing in his doorway stretching
and scratching himself.  He must have just awakened.  He waved and walked
over to the cook house.  "What smells so good Kali?"

We piled the load at the end of the cook house so we could go over it later
and went around back to put the cart away.  We could hear them talking and
laughed to ourselves.

"Kel and John brought back a big Grouper."

Walking into the cook house he spotted the cooked fish.  "That is big
enough for two days.  I see a chicken on the work bench too.  Looks like
John has met Kam and been to Maki's this morning."

Kali held up the two liter bottle of wine.  "They saw Kamani as well."

"Uh oh."  The old man coughed a couple of raspy fake coughs.  "I think I am
getting a dry throat.  Pass that over here would you Kali?"

"Oh no you don't.  One cup at lunch and one at the evening meal.  Any more
and all you will do is sleep."

"Oh you nagging old women.  You'd think we were married."

"Go find those two and let's eat."

Just as she finished scolding the old man, Kel and I walked around the end
of the house laughing.  I could tell by the way Kel regarded the two old
folks that he loved them both very much.

"I think that it would be nice if you two got married."  He said with open
affection for them.

Kali laughed.  "That's sweet Kel but we're too set in our ways."  Great
Uncle was shaking his head and grumbled something about the wine.  "Oh
here, old man.  Have two cups but don't blame me if you sleep all day."

Kel and I both chuckled and I whispered in his ear.  "I think they already
are married."  He burst out with a loud guffaw.

We all took wooden plates and piled them high with fresh baked fish.  The
shade of the front sitting area of the house was nice and cool so we ate
there.  The fish was wonderful and the wine topped off the big noon meal.
It was the custom here, because of the tropical climate, to eat a large
noontime meal and then rest.  The evening meal was usually cold and left
over from lunch.  The fish would actually be quite good cold, especially
with the wine.

After lunch, Kel and I announced that being covered with dust from the
path, we would go up to the falls for a swim and a bath and then have our
nap.  "We will be home for supper and more fish and wine ... if you leave
us any Great Uncle."  Kel teased.

"Go on you disrespectful boy!"  The old man teased back.  "Don't have too
much fun up there."

"Old Kel!"  Kali chided him.  "Leave the boy alone."  It was one of the few
times I heard her speak to him like that.

I went in to the room to get my boat shoes but Kel was right when he
pointed out the obvious.  "You will never get used to going without those
if you keep using them."  Then he grinned at me.  "And the same goes for
those shorts you have on."

The boy had a point.  I stripped off the shorts and tossed them into our
room, along with the shoes.  I knew that I would come back to find them
washed.  Kali would wear them out from washing long before I could from
wearing them.

We waved at Kali and the old man and headed up to the falls and a whole
afternoon alone together.


Part Four: Somehow I lost two days

Chapter Five: Time for a bath

The first time I had gone up this trail it was late and things weren't
going to well.  Now it was just past noon and the sun was beaming down
between the trees.  There wasn't much breeze down here but up by the falls
there would be just enough to keep it from getting too hot.  Kel took my
hand and looked up at me, clearly in love.  As we hiked along he continued
his discourse on the flora and fauna.  That reminded me to ask about the
bananas.

"Where did Kali get the banana leaves for wrapping the fish?"

"Oh, she probably got them in the village from Alani (Ah la knee) and
Kiliki (Key lee key).  They are together like Maliki and Miki and now, you
and I."

My mind wandered as I still had trouble thinking about our relationship.
But, when it got romantic, well, those concerns vanished and our affection
just seemed so right.

"John?"

"Yes, sorry, my mind wandered.  Where do Alani and Kiliki get the leaves?"

"They are farmers and grow many different things.  One of them is bananas.
They say they both love bananas so it made sense to grow them."

The nasty little adolescent side of my mind flashed a lurid picture of just
how Alani and Kiliki loved bananas and I giggled.

"What?"

"Oh, I'm sorry.  My mind keeps wandering."

"Well."  Kel sounded not at all unjustifiably testy.  "If you are not
interested I will stop talking."

"No, please don't stop.  I just keep thinking of how nice it's going to be
to spend the afternoon alone together."  It wasn't entirely a fib.  I
really was looking forward to just lying together and basking in the love
that was growing by the moment.

We finally arrived at the pool at the base of the falls and it was
sparkling in the early afternoon sun and the warm moist fresh aroma of the
forest was heavenly.  We waded right into the pool and swam across and back
rinsing off most of the dust from our bodies.  Like before, the water was
warmer than I expected.  Last time I thought that the sun had warmed it but
with all that water continuously coming over the falls, I found that hard
to believe.

Just then a root plopped in the water in front of me.  "Let's wash each
other."  A playful and huskier than normal voice suggested.

Kel waded over to me making suds and gave me a sly grin.  I looked down in
the water and saw that he was already half hard.  I grinned back.

The suds were easier to make this time and soon we were both rubbing them
all over each other's chests and shoulders.  First he turned and I did his
back and then it was my turn.  Then Kel pulled me into shallower water so
we could wash lower down.  He carefully avoided my now half erect penis and
washed down to my knees.  Then I started on him.  I was surprised just how
badly I wanted, no, needed to touch him down there.  But, I followed his
example and washed down to his knees.

My backside was next and he washed over my butt avoiding or forgetting, I
don't know which, to go in the crack.  When he was done I turned and did
his firm round little butt and then down his legs.  By now I was fully
aroused and wanted him badly.  As I moved my hands up the inside of his
thighs, I let my fingers, slippery with the soap, slip in between his
cheeks.  He stiffened, moaned softly and leaned back against me.

I put my mouth to his ear and whispered to him.  "We should be clean every
where.  Don't you think?"

"Oh yes."  He was very aroused and his voice was very husky and sexy.
"But, if you wash me in front I will spill my milk ... ah, cum, right
away."

"Why don't we swim for a few minutes to rinse off?  Then we can finish
washing ourselves very carefully and meet by the falls."

"Good idea."  He dove into the deeper water and swam away.  He did really
have a beautiful little body.  Compact, stocky and clearly very strong.
His swimming was powerful for a boy his age.

I swam as well.  Then I watched as he carefully made sure that he was clean
from head to toe.  The water had cooled his ardor enough so that he
particularly made sure that his privates were clean.  When we were both
satisfied we met at the falls.  That water was indeed colder and so, we
didn't stay long.

I challenged him.  "Race you back!"

It was no contest.  Even in the short distance he beat me.  When we both
reached the edge of the pool we were laughing happily and when we climbed
out our eyes met and we slipped into each other's arms and kissed.
