Let's face it Nifty has given countless hours of entertainment to everyone at this time in the world. Every little bit will help!!! Thanks I would like to thank all the people who have kept in contact and harassing me in a good way as far as when I would continue this story. Shout out to Anthony, Greg, Jake, Louis, Tom, Marc, and Mark, Keith, Dave, and Derrick. Chapter 43 I sat there looking at that tear stained handsome face not completely shocked at the idea of being proposed to. In fact I have mulled over the idea a few times myself. Zachary had just asked me if we could get married, I must have taken a few moments to realize what was happening and the poor guy must have been ready to puke. I reached down and lifted him on my lap and said "Yes, I will marry you." He hugged me and started to cry. "But", I said, "If we are going to do this we have to seriously talk about it." He nodded and we kissed. I asked him when he came up with this idea. Zachary said he thought about it ever since Stephen stayed with us. He bought the rings and Poppa helped him pick them out. He then went on to say that they are engraved with the symbol of infinity. I said I knew that. Zachary went on "I know the age thing concerns you, it doesn't bother me. Jared there is no guarantee even if you were younger that nothing would happen to us." I had to agree "but our chances would be better" I said. Zachary retaliated with "where is that written." He had it all figured out. "Zachary will you still love me when I am 90?" I asked. Zachary looked at me and replied "Jared will you still love me at 90?" I laughed and said "I may not know you or even who I am at 90." Zachary started to tear up again. "I promise you if it is in my power I will do everything to prevent that from happening I don't care if I have to dress, feed, and wash you. Who's to say that I might be the one who will need taking care of?" he proclaimed. I knew he meant that too. I answered "I will take care of you for as long as I breathe." "Now let's celebrate this, we are getting married, do you feel like a blushing bride?" I teased. Zachary bit my shoulder and answered "Not exactly but it is a great ending to a perfect Christmas Eve." We sat there in silence looking at the tree and fireplace with the snow still coming down. He was right it was a perfect Christmas Eve. It was after midnight and I wished him a Merry Christmas and asked if he was ready to call it a night. He nodded and it took another 20 minutes for us to get off the couch. I swatted his butt and told him to go up that I would be right up. I turned off the tree and fireplace and locked up. I don't know if it is an Italian thing or what but from the time I was a kid the outside Christmas lights and window candles were left on all night on Christmas Eve and I noticed Mario did it also. I grabbed 2 waters and went upstairs; he was already in half asleep in bed. I stripped and joined him and spooned him. I was already getting hard and I slipped it under his ball sack and he moaned. He rocked on my boner a little bit and stopped I knew he was falling asleep; I kissed his neck and said goodnight and he just moaned. The boy cannot hold his liquor which I should be thankful for. I laid there in the glow of the tree that he and Stephen had put up. I thought now we are going to have to tell Dan, I am not sure he will have the same attitude as his parents and my kids. It is legal now to get married in Connecticut. I think we will be treated the same as for as insurance and all of that. I had already changed my will a few weeks ago after talking to my kids. I wanted to provide for Zachary also, now I will have to do it again. I will leave him this house or wherever we end up living. I will split my vast holdings (ha-ha) between him and the two kids. I had already had in mind long before this what; I wanted the grandchildren to have in fact God willing I plan on giving them these things long before I'm gone. I can't help but keep thinking am I being fair to Zachary. I am 58 years old!! I know a lot of guys would say 'yeah man go for it you have an 18 year old'. I was up at 4:30 as usual. I eased myself out of bed and went and pissed and brushed my teeth. I went down and put coffee on and looked out a few inches had fallen over night. It was still dark, but I knew it was cloudy out. When the coffee was ready I grabbed a cup and went and watched it get light out. I learned from the news it was going to snow all day on and off without any serious accumulation. I went back up and got back in bed no movement out of Zachary except for a little moan when I put my boner between his legs. I nuzzled his neck and he responded. He turned towards me and we kissed and said Merry Christmas to each other. He looked at me with urgency in his eyes and whispered he wanted to get fucked. He got up and brushed his teeth and pissed. I just brushed my teeth again for the second time having coffee breath. Zachary called me into his room where he had a towel laid out and was lubing himself with Palmers. I asked why here, he said he just changed those other sheets and was too lazy to do it again. I just chuckled. It didn't take long for us to get off and soon we were at it for round two, which lasted a little longer. We went and showered and tried for a third round but neither pushed the issue, it was more or less just getting off which we both did. I grabbed another cup of coffee and made him a hot chocolate. He sat on my lap and we shared an orange and a pear. It was only 7:00 we had another hour till we ahd to be across the street for breakfast. I suggested we open our presents and he wanted to wait till we came back. Around 7:30 we got dressed, Zachary got our presents ready for his grandparents and Dad. We swept my walk and driveway, cleaned off the cars and then did the same across the street. Zachary's dad Dan hadn't any snow on his car, so we just figured he got his present form his girlfriend last night. Breakfast was almost ready when we arrived. Mario had made mimosas; he even let Zachary have one. I saw them huddled and by the hug he got from Mario they must have been discussing the proposal. We sat to eat there were only Mario, Maria, Dan, Aunt Roseanna, Uncle Bob, Zachary and I. A big difference from the crowd the night before. There were pancakes, sausages, eggs, bacon, toast and fresh corn muffins. Of course coffee, tea, and juice. The conversation was light and funny, until Zachary asked his father where the 'girlfriend' was. I nudged him under the table and he looked at me questioning the movement. Dan fumbled with some excuse stating it was too early for her. Maria mumbled something about 'she needs time to paint the face'. Dan said "Ma let it go", and she says back "when you do". I looked at Zachary as to say this was the reason for the nudge. Mario says it is Christmas morning; this is not the time to discuss it. Mario then stands up and says "I would like to thank everyone for making this Christmas so wonderful and great. I would like to also add for those of you I will not see on New Year's Day, may the new year be healthy and happy for everyone". Looking at Zachary and me, I felt myself turn red and Zachary just beamed and squeezed my thigh. By 10 am the Aunt and Uncle were leaving they had to their dinner going. Roseanna kept telling all of us we were more than welcome to come for dinner, it was only going to be their children and grandchildren. The grandparents said they would stop later for dessert. Zachary, Dan and myself cleaned up everything. Mario did the few pans and Maria straightened up the kitchen. Zachary and I broke down the table downstairs and put all the chairs away. Dan went to shower and take a nap he had to be at the 'girlfriend's' for 1 or so. Maria mumbled is KFC was open on Christmas Day. I laughed and Zachary looked lost. They were going to open presents and I started to excuse myself and I was stopped by both grandparents. We both got white socks and thermals and Zachary got some gift cards. I got Maria some gift cards and Mario some new gadgets for his wine press. Zachary got them a weekend at the casinos. We were told to come back to munch later they don't do any cooking on Christmas day it is all leftovers from the night before. (Which there were plenty) It was starting to snow again as we walked home. I lit a fire and put on some coffee and grabbed a couple of bottles of water. I sat at the island and Zachary came over and sat on my lap. I asked "What", he answered "let's zoom Andrea and the boys". He got off and went to get his laptop, it didn't take long, and their house was pandemonium. The older boys got gaming things, they liked my gift cards. Sr. like his gift cards too. Andrea liked her Le Creuset pot and gift cards. Now Stephan was all over the place he got clothes like Zachary's meaning hoodies and track pants, some games I promised I would play with him. He kept asking how much longer before we got there. I told him 2 days. Andrea said one of them would be there to pick us up, we would be landing at 6:45am. She was off from work from Dec. 25 to Jan. 3. We said good-bye and told them see you on the 27th. We called Chris next and they all were happy with their gifts, they were getting ready to go to my daughter-in-law's parents for brunch. My daughter-in-law also liked her Le Creuset pot. I have to admit as far the girl's gifts go, I am kind of a slacker, Maria told me what pot to buy and they all got the same one, different colors though. The guys are so much easier to buy for. They said they would call back tonight or tomorrow. Zachary came back and perched himself on my lap again. I said "now what?" he said "let's go upstairs after you have your coffee." I just laughed and we kissed and talked about the breakfast. He asked "why do you think my Noni didn't like his Dad's gf?" I said "basically because she is not your Mom and being an Italian mother there aren't going to be too many women that are good enough for Dan." Zachary says "That leaves a lot about what she going to say about you." I roared so hard that he almost fell off my lap. I asked "It would be okay if he got cold feet and decided not to make an honest man out of me." Zachary just stared and replied "Ass, it would be nice to have her approval that is all. Nothing or no one is going to keep us from marrying." I told him he didn't have to worry; everything would be fine as far as his grandparents went. I started to rub his thigh and stomach with one hand as I finished my coffee. He leaned in against me and moaned softly, he loved when I rubbed that flat stomach of his and played with the hair on his treasure trail. He whispered "Come on lets go upstairs". I reached around him with both hands and nuzzled his neck; he jumped off me and pulled me up the stairs. He had everything ready. We got undressed fast and spent a good hour at it before we both came. I don't know if it was always shaving or what but the hair between his balls and crack of his ass was long and thick almost like a little beard. It kind of turned me on, I told him don't shave it anymore. We threw on sweats and thermal tops and went downstairs. Zachary said "We still have presents to open." I got another cup of coffee and a hot chocolate for him and some cookies. I got him white socks, Under Armor tops, pants, and a hoodie and some boxer briefs and another classic Bike jock. On a whim I bought him a British Naval turtleneck wool sweater. It would look great with the Pea coat I also bought. He was surprised at all the stuff and said I spent too much. He jumped on my lap and kissed me and said "Thank you Jared." He had tears in his eyes he liked everything. Now it was my turn." I said "The rings were more than enough." Zachary explained those weren't a Christmas present, they were just something he wanted to do and he was going to do it on New Year's Eve but couldn't wait. Of course I got white socks, thermal tops, Under Armor tops, pants, like him. He also got me boxer briefs, and a jock...haha. There were two hoodies also. As far as sweatshirts, hoodies, thermal tops, and white socks go we wear each other's, it has been that way since he stayed with me during the pandemic. The surprise was he also got me the same British Naval turtleneck wool sweater and a sharp tailored burgundy wool Pea coat. He looks at me and says "great minds think alike." Then he goes mine is burgundy and his is navy we can swap. I just laughed and misty- eyed I said "this is too much." He goes "I make good money now." Then the last gift I gave him was the photo I had printed out and framed of Stephan sleeping on Zachary's back from Thanksgiving. He cried and said that it was beautiful and he never knew I had taken it, I told him I had one done for Stephan too. Zachary cleaned up all the wrapping paper and we reheated the coffee and hot chocolate munched on some cookies. I started to doze and his cell went off, Maria said to come over whenever we wanted to snack or to come over and make dishes to take back, today was very informal. She and Mario were going over her sister Roseanna's about 4:30 or so. His father was already at the gf's house. Zachary said thanks and have a good time and No he didn't want to go to see his cousins, he will see them for sure on New Year's Day. When he hung up I told him that about 4 or so we are to go over and clean off their car and shovel the walk seeing it is still snowing. I fell asleep on the couch with him nestled on my chest. Believe it or not it was only about 2pm. Neither either of us were hungry. When we woke up we discussed what we were going to do tomorrow, it was the last day before we left for Virginia. He said we should go get some marked down Christmas decorations at the stores, he saw some neat ornaments but wouldn't pay full price and we should go to the shop and work out and the rest of the day have sex. I said OK it sounded good. Zachary seemed to be deep in thought and I nudged him. I asked if he was Ok. He said "what makes me think that his grandparents won't mind us getting married." I go Hell-o didn't Mario help you pick out the rings, he nodded then I told him about the conversation I had the day before with Maria. Zachary sat up and looked at me as if I made the whole thing up. He was embarrassed it seems everyone knew his feelings before he did. I said what about me I had no clue. I said how Andrea and Chris told me when I told them about the two us that my wife said if anything happened to her, that Zachary will take care of your father not to worry. So it seems we were the only two people that didn't really know. He laughed. I also said don't talk to Maria about it till tomorrow or after we come back. He asked why? I said I don't know; don't shoot the messenger that is what I was told. We necked a little bit and he dozed off again. It really was a great day, I am glad Zachary was happy. I hope his Dad doesn't go ballistic when this comes out. It was still snowing, and there couldn't be more than a few inches since it started yesterday morning, it great mood snow. We went over across the street and cleaned off their walk and cars. Zachary started one to warm it up. We brought some containers to bring back food in. Zachary filled the containers with what we wanted. He was told to take more and he said we will be back tomorrow for refills. I was told to take more cookies. While I was talking to Mario, I saw Zachary hold his grandmother and kissed her and whispered something to her. She looked like she was going to cry and he had those wet eyes. She caught my eye and shook her finger at me. I just shrugged my shoulders and smiled. Mario says let's go I don't want to be there all night. I asked "Maybe we should drive you and come and get you later." They said they were fine but how you know how Mario would rather be in his own house. They left and the two of us took our food and cookies, locked up and walked across the street. Zachary put the food inside while I swept and shoveled the walk and cleaned off our cars. He came back out and suggested a walk around the neighborhood. It really was a picture perfect Christmas with the snow and lights. We stayed out about an hour, grabbing a kiss or copping a feel when we could. When we got back we heated up some of the food. We sat across from each other at the island. I asked "Do you have a date in mind?" He said he was thinking somewhere around the time we went to Maine. We went Memorial Day weekend. I said "okay and where would like go for a 'honeymoon'"; he says "NYC, Boston, Nashville, and San Diego." I said "good taste. I assumed you would want to go to Maine." He shook his head and said "it was nice, but he wants to go someplace more upbeat than Maine." Zachary got me a coffee and came and sat on my right leg. I was surprised he made himself another hot chocolate. He munched on a cookie; I told him we have a lot put some in the freezer tonight. He nodded in between bites. I asked him if he had a good day, he nodded again and said one of the best and he has had a few good ones. I asked "what did you whisper to your grandmother?" He turned to me and said "Thank you for everything you have ever done for me." She told me "No thank you necessary." Then he smirked "I saw you get the finger shake." I laughed and said "like most women they have a 6th sense she knew what you were referring to even though you said nothing wrong." Chris called back and we talked for a while and told him I would call when we got back from Virginia or over the weekend. We settled on the couch looking at the tree, fireplace and watching the snow come down. We watched a couple of old black and white Christmas movies that Zachary liked. It was about 7 or so when Maria called that they were home and the roads were fine. Zachary asked her to lunch tomorrow and she told him No to come there that all that fish had to be eaten especially with the fact we were going to be gone for two days, even though it would be good for at least a week. He said Ok. See you about noon, he asked about Papa and she said he was going to the IA club for lunch. Zachary wanted to know what I was going to do I said relax, seeing that he put all our clothes out all we had to do was pack. We finished the second movie and went up and took a shower and went to bed. Zachary said the stores were opening up at 7am, so we should be at the gym by 5am so we can get done showered and out by 6:30. We got off fast in the shower, and spooning in bed I asked him if I told him how happy he makes me. He nodded and I kissed his neck and said "I love you" and he replied "Love you more" We were both out and it wasn't even 10pm. JJ Any and all comments welcome!!!
