Eric Transitions Chapter 6 Eric woke at his usual time of 4:30 in the morning and stretched out on his bed like a cat in the summer sun. In his head was a song his Bugs Bunny alarm clock sang when he was a boy. "Get up get up get out of bed. Get up get up sleepy head." Maybe i should see if i can get one of those for Alejandro. I loved that thing as a kid.. Maybe we will see. So much time and so little to do. Stop reverse that he thinks and chuckles at the joke from WIlly Wonka. A show he loves and cant wait to watch with Alejandro. Eric slips out of bed and grabs his robe. He pads into the kitchen. Remembering as he walks across the cool tiles in the kitchen he needs to get Alejandro some house shoes. He isnt planning on going to walmart this morning so he thinks maybe in a day or so and grabs the coffee pot filling it with yesterdays leftover coffee. He puts it in the microwave above the stove and turns on the timer for 2 minutes. He starts rinsing off the dishes he has placed in the sink and puts then in the dishwasher adds soap then starts it. He then wipes down the counter top with a wet sponge to clean the crumbs on it. Beep beep. Eric extracts the coffee from the microwave ans adds two spoonfuls of sugar. As hes walking back to his usual seat at the table he feels a loose tile. Taps it with his toe and sure enough the thing is loose. "Hmm I don't think I have ever seen that happen before. Ill have to get someone out to fix that." He mumbles to himself. He drinks one cup then two just thinking about all the transitions that have been and will be taking place in his life. He is so thrilled he is thinking about all the things he wants to do with Alejandro that regular dads so. Well ones that care. Fishing, biking, boating. Playing at the park and having a picnic, going to the beach having vacation. He thinks of destinations like The Virgin Islands he hears it is beautiful but has never gone. He decides definitely the Virgin Islands. Maybe for christmas. No definitely want the frrst one of those at home. Maybe leave the day after christmas and the return say the third or fourth a few days before Alejandro will have to return to school. I guess that depends on the schedule. After yet another cup of coffee he decides he hasn't checked the news yet. He goes and grabs his phone from the bedside table and sees he has a text from Joy. "I'm so happy for you." He smiles and says. "Yeah me too." He goes and gets some orange juice because he already went over his allotted two cups a day. Trying to keep the caffeine intake down so as to not have another heart episode that shit hurts. He reads the news. Shooting here shooting there shooting everywhere. Why cant people just put aside their differences he thinks. The world would be so much better if people would just allow people to be themselves. He shakes his head. Then reads the national news. All about the president. He thinks about when there was more to news then just what the president said and did today. Its everyday nonstop. He shakes his head in disgust. Ridiculous he thinks. He looks at BBC news so he can actually see the NEWS of the world. He reads an article about West Palm Beach Florida blaring baby shark and raining tacos on the beach at night so it will irritate the homeless and drive them away from a pavilion that brings in money for the city. He shakes his head in disgust. He has donated for years in his city to help the homeless. But with rents skyrocketing around the nation and wages stagnant he doesn't see much end in site for it. Surely theres a solution but he hasn't got it. Maybe if congress would talk and not bicker about pettiness maybe something could be done he thinks. But he knows that will never happen. He flips his phone away from himself in disgust. "Why do i bother reading the news. It always frustrates me between the killings and the inaction on real issues. Whats the point. He thinks "Fuck it im getting dressed to go see my boy and bring him home. Because thats what is important." He says sternly. He steps on the lose tile and it slips. He steadies himself by grabbing the table. "Yeah I got to get that fixed fast." He says. He goes and gets dressed thinking is going to be a scorcher today. He puts on a pair of tan shorts and a lilac polo. He puts on some ankle socks and a pair of running shoes. He gets in the car and heads to the hospital and arrives by 7. He goes to Alejandro's room and sees his boy is still sleeping. He sits down and admires Alejandro's prone body. He hears a soft little snore escaping from him and smiles thinking its cute. After about half an hour he sees Alejandro's eyelids flutter and he opens his eyes looking directly at Eric. A smile radiates across his face. "Good morning sunshine. Did you sleep well?" Sleepily Alejandro slide the covers back and slips from the bed and onto Erics lap. "I see that you enjoy a morning cuddle when you get up huh?" Alejandro nods yes. He then wraps his arm around Erics chest and settles in. Eric wraps his arms around his little boy and just holds him. Eric feels his phone vibrate he got a text. With so much happening today he better check it. It could be important. He slips the pone out of his pocket as carefully as he can so he doesn't interrupt their cuddle. It just feels so perfect Alejandro pressed against his body. He thinks its not lustful its just special. He looks at the text. Its from Maris Mr. Eric we are all here at your house. Mom stopped at the printers for you and got what you ordered. Jose and the boys are putting it up now in front of the garage like you asked. Did you want us to set up in the back yard or in the kitchen? Eric thought a moment the responded. Probably both. If you think that's possible. Nearly instantly ping Yeah we got it. Nature called and Alejandro hopped up and rushed to the rest room. Eric could hear the water works. He texted to Maria. Tell everyone there is a loose tile on the kitchen floor i slipped on it earlier I don't want anyone to get hurt. Got it she replies. Alejandro comes back and and re snuggles himself into Eric and dozes a bit. Eric arms wrapped around him is so comfortable feeling the heat from Alejandro he too dozes off. Around 830 nurse Judy taps him on the shoulder lightly waking him. "Mr Eric do you want breakfast now or do oyu want me to leave it on the warming cart?" She whispers. He clears his throat. "No we should have it now. Cant believe i dozed off. I nevr do that it was just so peaceful." He bounces Alejandro a bit. "Wakey Wakey shake and Bakey he says ." Alejandro's eyes open slowly. "Breakfast is here buddy. You ready to eat?" Alejandro sleepily nods. Eric puts him on the bed as Judy brings in their trays. This morning nothing exciting just some corn flake toast and juice. A nice breakfast just not exciting like french toast. They eat in silence just enjoying each others company. When they get done Eric says. "You want to go to the gift shop to get Rich a present?" Alejandro smiles and a firm nod yes. Alejandro picks up Jorge from beside him and holds out his arms for Eric to carry him. Eric picks him up and slips him onto his hip and they take the elevators to the first floor. Once they arrive Eric sits him down and they walk hand in hand looking at all the gifts for people at the shop. They have a little bit of everything and nothing at the same time. They decide on a couple of puzzle books and Alejandro insisted on getting a Ba bar elephant as well. "Is this for you or for Mr Rich?" Eric asks. Alejandro looks at the elephant and starts to put it back. "Buddy if you want it thats ok. I just wanted to know who its for." Alejandro smiles and picks it back up hugging it to him and Jorge. Wonder if there is a stuffed animal of the week club Eric thinks and smiles to himself. They pay and Eric picks Alejandro back up and they go back upstairs. Alejandro like most little boys likes the elevator and Eric lets him push the buttons. Something little boys like to do. Once they arrive on the floor as they are up to Richs room they here music coming out of the door. Eric taps on the door. "Come in.." Rich hollers. "we got some puzzle books for you to keep you occupied." Eric says and hands the back to Rich. "Well thank you young men. How is our little friend today do you know for certain he is going home or not?" "We dont know yet but Dr Ross seemed pretty certain he would." Eric says sitting in the chair with Alejandro on his lap. Alejandro is playing with Jorge and Ba bar. Rich and Eric talk for about an hour when the Dr comes in. "Good morning everyone." Dr Ross says. "I came to check on my favorite little patient and he wasn't anywhere to be found the nurses said you had struck up a friendship with this cantankerous old fart." Rich and Eric laugh. "You got me pegged for certain." Rich chuckles. "I guess we had better get back to out room then so you can make sure its ok for Alejandro to go home today." Eric says as he stands holding Alejandro. "I will be over in a minute i need to check this old fart make sure he isn't dying on me yet." The doctor jokes. "Alright we will be waiting for you then." They head back to Alejandro's room and wait about fifteen minutes for the doctor to arrive. After he walks in he starts talking. "I have known that man for ten years and i don't think i have ever seen him so jovial. He says he blames Alejandro hes happy. Says he has been visited by an angel." The doctor sys as he tweaks Alejandro's cheek. Alejandro blushes and looks down. "Ok young man lets get this over with so i can get the paperwork started and get you home." Alejandro smiles and unfastens his robe exposing his still bruised body to the doctor. The bruises are starting to fade some they have that ugly purplish yellow look too then now. The doctor proceeds to check over Alejandro making certain everything is ok. After the doctor checks the front Alejandro rolls over and Puts a pillow under himself.. "No we don't need to do that today young man you are healing perfectly well donw there." Alejandro looks over his shoulder and smiles then proceeds to flip back over and refasten his robe. "Yes sireee Bob you are going home today. You are healed enough that you don't need to be here anymore." Alejandro smiles a huge smile. "So do we need to follow up with you or anything after we leave here?" Eric asks. "No i don't see why he would need to do that unless he has any issues having a bowel movement or any pain anywhere else." Alejandro grabs the note pad and begins scribbling a note out. He finishes and hands it to the doctor. Dr Ross: Thanks for making me feel better so i can go home with my new poppi. You are great i like you a lot and Rich isn't mean hes just lonely. Alejandro "Thank you so much young man and i know Rich is lonely. Hes actually had a really good life. Like you said he is just lonely. He has had a really hard time since his partner died four years ago. Before that he was the most jovial man you could ever meet. Hes just sad and feels like he doesn't really have a place in the world anymore. But i think that you being his friend has shown him that there is still a spot for him." Alejandro smiles and nods yes. "Let me tell the nurse to get your paperwork ready. Then you will be out if here by noon." "Noon?" Eric asks. "Yes noon is about right i think." crap Eric thinks i told Joy to be there at 130 noon is too early. Its ok we will figure out something to do before i take him home. "Yes sir noon. Get him dressed and take your boy home." "Son of a bitch." Eric mutters. Both the doctor and Alejandro look at him. "I didn't grab his clothes. Now i got to rush home and get them." The doctor chuckles. You would be surprised at ow often that happens. People not thinking about it." "Alejandro i need to rush and get you some clothes. Do you want shorts or pants?" Alejandro points to Erics shorts. "Shorts it is then." Eric says. He bends down and gives and gets a hug from Alejandro. He gives him a quick peck on the lips and feels that electricity surge through his body. "Ill be right back buddy be good for the nurses ok?" Alejandro nods and Eric rushes out. "I think you got yourself a good poppi there Alejandro." Alejandro smiles and nods. Eric rushes to the car and back to the house where he sees a multitude of people. He rushes into the house and to Alejandro's room. The furniture has already been delivered and Jose is putting it together with the help of his little brother Alejandro's friend Carlos. Both are shirtless and look very lovely as they are working away. They already have the bed the dresser and desk together and are working on the shelving unit. Marias mother is putting the sheets on the bed. "Hola Senior Eric Como Esta?" "Tre Bien. Tu?" "Tre bien gracias." "Im so happy you are bringing home Alejandro hes such a nice boy. He deserves a good life and someone to love him like i know you will." She says in Spanish. "I am beyond happiness to bring him home. I cant describe how happy I am about it." He replies in Spanish. "I know exactly the happiness you speak of. I have had it six times." She smiles. "Im sure you do. Where did the bags go with Alejandro's clothes go to?" Carlos says. " I put them in his dresser when we put it together." "Thanks for that. I want to say that i truly appreciate all the help you and your family are giving. I could have done it all myself but it wouldn't have been ready in time. Or if it would have been I would have had to spend time away from him and i don't want to be away from him for very long." He says as he looks through the drawers looking for an outfit. Eric grabs an outfit that matches his a pair of tan shorts lilac polo and some shoes. He gets some socks shoes and underwear for him as well. He carries it into the kitchen to grab a walmart bag to tote it in and slips again on the tile. "I got to get that fixed before i kill myself on it." He says. In the kitchen he sees a few ladies getting the food ready for Alejandro's coming home party. They are chattering away in Spanish. One is cutting vegetables and the other is pressing and making fresh tortillas. Eric cant resist and grabs one of the hot fresh ones and the lady making them slaps his hand lightly and laughs. "You wait." She says. "Oh my these are so good. How can i wait." He says chewing and taking another bite. The house is filling up with the wonderful smells of chicken, for fajitas, barbacoa for burritos and steak for fajitas as well. "Ladies everything smells so good I cant wait to eat it all." The ladies giggle. "Thank you Mr Eric. We really appreciate what you are doing. Alejandro is a lucky boy to have a man like you love him." "That ladies is where you are wrong. I am the lucky one to have him love me. He is an amazing boy." They smile and nod in agreement and then get back to what they were doing. He goes out the back door to see whats going on in the back yard and the husbands are all setting up tables and chairs. They have even set up a dance floor in the yard. He sees other guys setting up musical equipment and he smiles. Alejandro wont forget this for a long time. He thinks. He sees Maria walking through the gate with a handful of decorations. He walks over to her. "Maria it looks fantastic. Te food smells amazing. Howeve the doctor says he will get out at noon instead of 2 so is it possible everything can be set up by then?" "Aye chinga!!!" (Oh fuck) "Maria language please. You are much too pretty and smart to say such things." He admonishes her. She looks down embarrassed. She looks up and shouts. "Tenemos que darnos prisa. Alejandro estara en casa al mediodia no a las dos. Entonces trabajo mas rapido. Prisa!!! Por Favor!!!" (We have to hurry. Alejandro will be home at noon not at two. So work faster. Hurry Please.) The men all look over at the pretty girl barking orders at them. "Si!!!" And they all look like they are working double time now. "Please let the ladies and your mother know too please." "I sure will Mr Eric." She smiles and rushes into the house to let them know. Eric walks out the gate to go to his car and sees two men putting up the sign he ordered above the garage. They have tied balloons to everything and they are all floating. He sees his elderly neighbor Mrs Ortega. "Whats going on Mr Eric?" She asks curiously. "Im bringing home my son from the hospital today." She looks at him confused knowing he doesn't have a son. "I am adopting him hes a great boy i would be honored if you and Mr Ortega came over for a little while and enjoyed some food and music with us." "Oh my what an exciting time. Of course we will be there for such an event." She rushes into the house to tell Mr Ortega whats going on. Eric gets in the car and races off back to the hospital. "Call Joy." The phone rings through the sound system of the car. "Hola Poppi."" She says as she answers the phone. "Change of plans can you be here at noon instead? Dr Ross has said it will be noon versus two." "Absolutely I took a half a day off so i could be there. I'm so excited for you two." "Me too. Me too. Im nearly to the hospital i will see you in a bit." "You can bet your life on it. Love you." "Love you too." He says and ends the call. He arrives at the hospital and takes the now familiar trek to Alejandro's room. He walks in and Alejandro sees him and stand up in the bed arms extended. Eric tosses the bag of clothes on the bed and takes his boy in his arms and gives hi a hug. "Gosh I missed you so very much." Eric says. He feels Alejandro's head nod as he says this signifying he was missed as well. Its now eleven and Eric sees Jorge sitting in his chair and goes and takes a seat moving Jorge to his lap. Alejandro lying on the bed watching some cartoons. Eric starts playing with the monkey singing a little song to the tune of a cute commercial GMC trucks had a few years ago. https://youtu.be/NikIYA2YAcM Alejandro and Jorge hangin in a tree Jorge by his tail and Alejandro by his knees. They have a great time hangig around laughing jokin and pointing at the people in the town. HmmHMM Hmm Hmm Eric sets Jorge on the bed and goes to the restroom. When he returns Alejandro is holding Jorge humming the song Eric was just singing. "Buddy its almost noon we had better get you dressed." Eric says They are both getting antsy ready to leave and get started with their lives together. Alejandro hops off the bed and strips his robe off.revealing his beautiful body and grabs the bag and starts pulling out the stuff. He looks at it and then at Eric and smiles realizing it looks just like what his Poppi Eric is wearing. He slips on the boxer briefs then the rest. He hops up on the bed to put on the shoes smiling th entire time. He sees the shoes are name brand and smiles again. After he gets on the shoes Eric feels to make sure they are the right size. They are a little bit big but for a growing boy thats not a bad thing. Alejandro scoots over to get the pen and pad. He writes a quick not Poppi Eric thank you so much for the new clothes. I have never had such nice things before. I like the new shoes ive never had Nike shoes before. I love you He slips Eric the note. Eric reads it. "No problem buddy from now on pretty much whatever you want within reason I will get you." Eric says smiling Alejandro hops down and gives him a hug. Then climbs up on his lap and they wait what feels like an eternity. But is really about 15 minutes before the nurse walks in with a clipboard and paperwork. "Dont you two look just adorable in your matching outfits." She says. Alejandro hops off Erics lap and spins to show how cute the outfit is. "Yes you are just adorable. I bet the little girls never leave you alone." She says. Alejandro blushes and smiles. "Ok Mr Eric here are the forms to sign and then you guys are free to go. Also i have a prescription of antibiotics for Alejandro to take as well. Make sure you give them all to him. Dont stop until they are gone." "Absolutely." Eric replies as he signs the paperwork and hands it back. She gives him copies and takes off. Eric had already packed up the legos and other things of Alejandro's so they would be ready to go when the time came. Eric grabs up the bags and they leave the hospital for the first time together. On the way out Alejandro slips into Richs room and waves good bye. "You guys leaving?" "Yes sir its time to get on with life." Eric responds. "Im so happy for you two. I believe you were meant to be together. I know you will be great together." "Thank you Rich you get to feeling better so you can go home too." "Im doing my best." He replies with a smile. "Have a great rest of the day. We may come back and see you ina day or two if your still here." "I will still be here the doctor says at least three more days." "Thats too bad but we will probably come back up." "I would like that very much." Alejandro is holding Jorge. He walks over to the bed and climbs up to give Rich a hug. Rich returns the hug. "Now you keep an eye on this monkey." He says squeezing Jorge's arm. Alejandro giggles and hops down. They go down to Erics car and Alejandro is surprised its such a nice car. Hes never ridden in such a new or nice car before. Eric opens the back door and Alejandro jumps in. Eric puts the packages in the back next to Alejandro and then fastens the boys seat belt. He gets in the car and off to the house they go. When they arrive there are cars lined up and down the street. As Eric pulls into the drive Alejandro sees the sign above the garage door. Welcome to your new Home Alejandro Love Poppi Eric Alejandro looks at it a solid minute and tears well in his eyes. Eric jumps out of the car and opens the back door for Alejandro. He gets out and a parade of people come out to greet him. Its all people he knows. Carlos his little friend is first in line. He gives him a big hug which Alejandro returns. Eric notices the size difference knowing they are the same age and Carlos is nearly a foot taller. "Im so glad your ok. I was so worried when i heard what happened." As they broke Alejandro touched his friends cheek saying thank you for his concern with his touch. Next is Maria he gets on one knee to be the same height as him and hugs im tears in her eyes. "Im so glad you are ok. We were all so worried." She says through tears. The line went on to welcome the boy to his new home finally Eric picks him up and puts him on his shoulders and they all go into the house and into the back yard. Eric takes a side trip to show Alejandro his room. He sit shim down so he can look at all of it. He goes to the bed and gently runs his hands over the comforter and smiles. "Its all yours buddy all for you." He looks the the games and toys someone had put on the shelves and admires them. He takes the pad from his packet and writes, Thank you Poppi Eric i have never had so many nice things before. I love you." Eric reads it and says. "I love you too buddy but remember gifts dont mean you love someone it is the actions of the person that matters. Stuff is just stuff. But i am glad yo like everything." Alejandro smiles and takes Erics hand and they go to the back yard. When they walk out the band starts playing an old Mexican folk song and everyone starts singing it to Alejandro. It is beautiful to hear all the people singing to his boy. After the song ends Marias Mom shouts. "Lets eat!!!" Of course everyone let Alejandro and Eric go first. They fill their plates and Eric loads up on the barbacoa his favorite gets some re fried beans and rice and a few chili's to make the meal even better. Everyone is eating and the band is playing and everyone is having a great time. Joy finally shows up and shes holding a package wrapped in gift paper. She walks over to them and gives Eric a kiss on the cheek and then one to Alejandro. "Im so happy you are finally home little guy. I know you will be very happy here." Sh hands the gift to Eric. "Whats this?" "Its a swimming pool whats it look like?" She says being her regular smart ass self. He looks at it a moment and tears back the paper. Once he reveals what it is he begins to cry. Marias mom is standing behind him and sees what it is and she too starts to cry and rubs on Erics shoulders. "I thought this was lost." "No i stole the coloring book because it was so sweet." Sh had taken the picture Alejandro had made telling him he loved him for the first time and framed it. It was absolutely beautiful. Then everyone started appearing with gifts for Alejandro to welcome him home. Alejandro opened gifts for twenty minutes hugging each person for their gift. Eric was surprised at the gifts. No one mentioned it to him. They had gotten Alejandro things like games and clothes toys. By the time he was done he had a table full of gifts. "Lets all dance and celebrate this great day!!!" Eric shouted and the band started back up. People filed to the dance floor and Maria grabbed Alejandro and they were dancing Alejandro and Maria both giggling and having a great time. Mr And Mrs Ortega in their late 70s were even out there dancing and having fun. All in all in is a hugely successful party to welcome his boy home. Around four the people began to leave knowing that Alejandro still needed to get plenty of rest. Not to mention they wanted to give Eric and Alejandro some time together. Eric went to his home office and got an envelope for Marias mom he had prepared earlier. He went out and handed her the card. She opened it and a tear formed in her eyes. It was a simple thank you card. Inside was $500 cash. The card read. I want to thank you so much for all the time and effort that your family spent to make this a special day for Alejandro and myself. I know you didnt do it for anything but the sheer satisfaction of seeing me and my boy happy. I want you have have this little bit of money to thank you for everything you have done. Please use it for something you have been wanting. Because i have everything i want now with Alejandro in my life and i want to spread a bit of that joy to you." "I know exactly what i will get with this." she says as she hugs him. He then gave Jose a card as well. It reads. Jose thank yu so much for helping me with putting everything together. I know i could have but it was time i wanted to spend with Alejandro and you gave me that time. Thank you so much. Inside was a $100 bill. Then he gave Marias mother another card made out to the family. It read To a wonderful caring family who i hope to be like with Alejandro to help others when they need it. You are a great family and i want to thank you for all of your help. Please use this gift to get something you have been wanting for some time. Again thank you Inside was another $500 "Mr Eric this is too much." "No its not enough. If you dont accept it you will hurt my feelings." He says. She looks at the money thinking what she can get the kids with it and smiles. "Thank you Mr Eric you are too generous. But i dont want to hurt your feeling." she says and slips the cards and cash into her purse. Finally the house is still and Eric and Alejandro are in the kitchen. Eric looks at Alejandro and smiles then starts giggling. Alejandro looks back and starts giggling too. They just look at each other and laugh in their happiness. "Well buddy lets get your things put up in your room. I will help you carry it all in there and you decide where you want it all." They tote the multitude of gifts into the boys room stacking them on the bed. Eric sits in the desk chair and watches as Alejandro meticulously finds a place for everything. It takes nearly an hour until the boy is satisfied. "All good then?" Alejandro nods. You want to play a game or some legos or watch tv? Up to you buddy its your first night. Alejandro shrugs his shoulders. "Well i guess first thing i should show you all of the house so you know whee everything is. Eric picks up Alejandro and begins the tour. He wave his arm out. "This is your room." Alejandro giggles. "Ok then this is the hallway. Across the hall is my room and Eric opens the door. Alejandro sees the bed and furniture is nearly identical to his. He puts his hand to his chest. "Yep just like yours." Alejandro smiles. Eric walks to the master bath. Its lovely it has a multi head shower and is lined in marble. The cabinets and accents are cherry wood. Eric walks out of his room and opens the next door. "This is my office." Inside sits a cherry desk and a leather chair behind it. Bookshelves that are full to overflowing line the walls. "If you come in here make sure you put everything back where you find it." Alejandro nods. "Now the kitchen is pretty simple to understand. Sink stove refrigerator. If you are hungry and want something to eat or drink please help yourself. If you want help just ask me. But please dont go without if you are hungry. That would hurt me if you did that." Alejandro nods. "Now the living room." Its a nice living room with light brown furniture and a 55 inch tv. "If you want to watch tv anytime here is the remote." He shows Alejandro how to use it turn on the tv and find programs and whatnot. Eric looks Alejandro in the eyes. "This is your house now. You dont need to ask to eat or watch tv you may do as you want. But when you start back to school there is one rule. Homework first. Then whatever you want to do. If you want to be by yourself you may go to your room and shut the door. I will always knock first to give you your privacy and wait for you to allow me into your room. If you get scared or need me in the night. I am right across the hall and you come get me. No matte if im sleep or not. I am always there for you. Understand?" Alejandro nods. "Ok first things first. At home i like to be comfortable so i usually strip down and put on my robe so im more comfortable. Is that ok with you?" Alejandro nods. "Ok buddy Im going to go get comfy. Ill be back in a few minutes." Alejandro smiles and nods Eric goes and strips down to his underwear and puts on his robe. Usually he would take that off too but he feels he shouls have some decorum with Alejandro here now. He pads out to the living room and Alejandro is on the couch in his robe now as well. With cartoons on the tv. "So you like to relax like that too huh?" Alejandro nods. Eric sits beside him. Alejandro scoots onto his lap and Eric wraps his arms around him to hold him tight. After the current cartoon ends Eric says. "Would you like to watch my favorite movie with me? I think you will like it." Without even thinking Alejandro nods yes. Alejandro thinks if its Poppi Erics favorite movie its my favorite too. "Whats say we make some popcorn and get some candy and cokes to enjoy while we do." Alejandro twists around and is straddling Eric. He nods and smiles giving him a hug. "Your such a sweet boy. Lets go get our stuff and sit and enjoy the movie." They go to the kitchen and Eric pops a bag of popcorn in the microwave. He goes to the fridge and pulls out two cans of Dr Pepper. Gets some glasses and ice while the popcorn begins to pop. He purs the soda into the glasses and hands them to Alejandro. "Her buddy take these into the living room and sit them on the end table where we were sitting. Alejandro smiles and takes the glasses and carefully sits them down so he doesnt spill them. he pads back to the kitchen as the microwave beeps. He sees Poppi Eric has gotten a big clear bowl out and he pours the popcorn into it. He opens the cabinet and pulls out a bag of assorted Reese's treats. "Carry the candy buddy and ill get the popcorn." Alejandro takes the candy and they go back and resume their previous spots. Eric had tucked his cock down his leg because it kept getting hard between Alejandro's beautiful globes and Eric doesnt want him to think thats why he is here. Hes here because he loves him. Eric puts the popcorn on Alejandro s lap and starts the movie. The opening credits come on and the chocolate begins to flow. The church bell tolls and the children race to the candy shop. "Willy Wonka and the chocolate Factory is my favorite movie ever. I saw it first when i was about your age and have loved it ever since." Eric says and kissses the top of Alejandro's head. Alejandro turns and nods his head. They sit and watch and enjoy the popcorn and chocolate treats. After about an hour Eric can tell the Alejandro is mesmerized by the film. He is getting fidgety though which does not help Erics cock resume its normal resting state. After about five minutes of fidgeting. Alejandro looks at Eric and waves at the tv and hops down and runs to the bathroom. Now it makes sense Eric thinks and pauses the movie so Alejandro doesnt miss anything. Eric sat the now empty popcorn bowl on the end table and when Alejandro returns he hadnt fastened his robe since he was in a hurry to get back and Eric notices he was completely naked under it. He figured he would have left on underwear but cest la vie he figures. Alejandro retakes his seat and doesnt bother fastening his robe. Eric who loves the movie and wants to watch it cant help but occasionally glance at Alejandro's nakedness. His cock is throbs every time he does. The movie ends and its still only around 7:30 "Want to watch another movie or play a game?" Alejandro points to the tv. "Ok buddy not a problem. I got another movie i think you will like its called Hotel for Dogs. Its a funny move i think you will like," Eric pulls of the movie and he hears Alejandro humming the oompa loompa doopity doo song. He knows then hes got another fan of Willy WOnka. He starts the movie and they are watching. Alejandro adjusts himself a bit and puts his hand on Erics leg. He slides his hand up Erics leg and feels his hard cock and squeezes it a couple of times. He then slides his hand up and down it a couple of times. Eric who really wants him to continue takes his hand away from his cock and kisses it and holds it and puts his arms around Alejandro. He notices Alejandro has a hard on as well now. He wraps his robe over him covering Alejandro's nudity. Not that he wants to he just doesnt feel he can trust himself not to just reach down and start stroking him. He thinks was he doing that on purpose or was it just he was feeling to see what it was? Alejandro is thinking. Why did Poppi Eric stop me i know he liked it? I wanted to make him feel good like he does me. They enjoy the rest of the movie together without further incident. "Well buddy i guess its time for us to get to bed now. That way we can be well rested fr a new day of adventures tomorrow." Alejandro smiles and hops off Poppi Erics lap. Eric stands and Alejandro grabs his hand. They walk to Alejandro room. Eric opens the drawers to find the pajama bottoms he got for Alejandro. He finds them and turns around to see Alejandro already in the bed robe put across the end. "Buddy I got you some pj's if you want to wear them. Or if you prefer you can wear some underwear or I guess sleep naked if you want." Alejandro pats the bed signifying he likes the way he is. "Ok buddy I dont care. I like to sleep naked too." Eric walks over to his boy. He bends down and gives him a hug and kiss. "I love you buddy so much. I am so happy you are here. If you need anything in the night im right across the hall in my room ok?" Alejandro nods. I got you a night light so you can see around if you wake up at night. Also i have a night light in the bathroom and hall so if you have to pee at night you dont have to turn on the lights because thats always way bright." Alejandro nods and smiles. Another hug and kiss. "I love you buddy. Im going to leave the doors open tonight until you get used to being here ok?" Eric says as he walks to the door. Alejandro nods and Eric flips off the light. Eric goes to his room slips off the robe. He walks to his restroom and slips off the underwear and turns on the shower. He steps into the warm spray and lets it beat down on his body relaxing him and removing any tensions he had. He finishes dries off and heads to bed. He sees in the middle of his bed is a sleeping Alejandro. He smiles grabs a pair of underwear to slip on and slides into bed. He thinks i think the last time i wore anything to bed was when i lived at home. Smiles to himself and flips of the bedside lamp. Alejandro slides over and puts his head on Erics chest his hand lays on Erics cock. Eric gently removes his hand and puts it on his chest then Eric wraps his arm around him. Soon they were both asleep. Enjoying their first night at home together.
