Chapter 22 Jared walked across the street and went into his own house. He put on some music and reheated a cup of coffee and went upstairs. He looked around Zachary still had all his things here. He made his bed, he got his gym stuff ready for the morning and packed his work clothes in his gym bag and went down to get his coffee. He sat at the island listened to Sia sing 'Titanium'. He didn't feel like titanium, he was missed the little shit. The next song was Carly Simon's 'It's coming around again/ itsy bitsy spider'. He use to play this song for his kids and then Zachary, when he learned the 'itsy bitsy spider' in pre K. He was starting to tear up and from that it went into sobs. He put his head down onto the granite and cried his eyes out. His cell phone was ringing he jumped up it was Zachary; he said dinner was almost ready. I told him I nodded out for 20 minutes, and as soon as I washed up I would be right over. I washed up and put some contact drops in my eyes to whiten them. He was happy with the way he looked. Mario had a glass of wine waiting for him; Dan was asleep in the chaise after driving 4 or so hours. Noni said let him sleep; Mario said he won't sleep tonight. Zachary says his Dad could sleep 20 out of 24 hours. I thought things were back to normal that is good. Zachary filled them in on their trip to Maine. He gave his grandmother the bowl he bought, she cried over the fact that Zachary had remembered he broke her favorite bowl. He told them about his week in school and about his finals and marks. They were upset that we didn't make the lasagna. I said it was too much for just the 2 of us. I had planned to make it today, so you didn't have to cook. Noni says to me you were raised right; I know your parents are proud of you. Mario asked why did we do all of this work. I told him we did it all in one day it wasn't that bad. Mainly for the fact that between his studies, work, and the end of his senior year the boy should have some of his weekends free. If looks could kill when I referred to him as a boy I would be dead, I had to smirk. Sorry young man, I corrected myself. Mario says to him, to us fathers you are all 'boys' no matter your age. He rubbed Zachary's head and kissed it. We had a huge antipasto, baked ziti, and fresh lamb steaks and grilled eggplant and asparagus. Mario's brother had slaughtered a pig and 2 lambs for their picnic. Mario was given some of the meat that wasn't used. I told Mario we have to start taking Zachary to our game dinners, the 'boy' made a face. Mario agreed for me, he told him he didn't have to eat the squirrel or coon, but there was nothing wrong with venison or rabbit. He then says to him" big jock, you don't want to eat red meat, and this is a lot healthier for you". I just looked at Zachary smiled, and raised my eyebrows. He looked at me and OK he would give it a shot. I said I have venison in my freezer, I will take out a couple of steaks and we can have them Wednesday. I then asked his grandparents if they wanted to come how I had plenty from my last kill. They declined Mario saying he still had plenty also. I know Zachary was sitting there shitting hoping they wouldn't accept. We had fresh honeydew for dessert. It hit the spot. Zachary had a Klondike bar; he almost slipped and started to give me a bite. I acted oblivious to it. His grandmother said she had something for the both of us. She brought out 2 packages of white socks; she hit a Costco while they were there. Then she said that I should take both packages, that she knows half the socks in his drawer are mine. I laughed and had to agree. I told her one package was enough and thanked her. We helped clean up and I thanked them for the meal and asked again if they were sure they didn't want to come for venison on Wednesday. They said they were sure and thanked me again for taking care of Zachary. I left and made that long trek across the street by myself. I put on music and was getting my lunch ready. I wasn't in the house 10 minutes when he comes through the back door. He stands right in front of me and we kissed. Chaka Khan's 'Through the Fire' just started I took him in my arms and started slow dancing with him. We danced around the kitchen and I sang to him to him 'When it's this good there is no saying no' 'I want you so I'm ready to go' 'Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall, for a chance to be with you' 'I would risk it all, through the fire; through whatever come what may' 'For a chance at loving you, I'd take it all the way, right down to the wire' 'Even through the fire' He held on to me tight, and I kissed his neck. I lifted his chin and kissed him softly. He moaned a little and his eyes were getting wet, I said" don't we are going to be fine". The song ended and I said let's get your stuff together. He didn't have much basically his school stuff he wanted to leave some clothes here. I asked "why you are always wearing mine". He giggled which was good to hear. He helped me unload the dryer and fold all the towels and wash cloths. Then it was time for him to go. We kissed on my back deck for a good 10 minutes. Both of us were hard, he wanted to jerk me off, and his phoned pinged it was his Dad. He wanted to talk to him before it got late. I said go let's not push this. We kissed a few minutes more and I walked him across the street. I grabbed his ass as he was climbing the steps and told him I would call him in the morning. I said "Goodnight Pup". He said "Goodnight Jared". I jogged home, locked up and went to take a shower. I was getting ready for bed, and I texted him 'I love you'. He texted right back 'I love you more'. I told him I was getting into bed, he says he was too, and we said 'goodnight' again. I had a feeling this was going to be a long night for both of us. But surprisingly it wasn't for me. I fell asleep fast. It was 2am when I woke up I had to piss. I moaned it couldn't it wait for another hour or so. I got up and pissed and came back to bed. I realized then how empty my bed felt. I told myself you are 58 get over it, he is right across the street. The old adage 'Be a Man'. I laughed to myself and fell back asleep. Before I drifted off I said a prayer that he was having a good night's sleep and we would whether this with no problems. JJ PLEASE DONATE TO NIFTY KEEP THIS SITE FREE!!!
