Date: Sat, 2 Jul 2016 20:49:44 +0000 From: Max Dowling Subject: Ask Me 54 Ask Me 54 Maxieplus "Daddies, I'm over here," Ted yelled from the hand tennis court, no circus performing today. We belted him into his seat and drove around to the park, the change rooms were nearly finished and painted in the school colors and the field was green and healthy. I spied it as we pulled up in the car park, Conner saw it too. "What on earth is that Brent?" "It's a piece of artwork Con, I had it installed this morning, it looks fantastic doesn't it?" "Well yes it does, but why?" "Go and read the plaque." He got Ted out and we walked holding his hand as a family towards the big square hunk of metal that sat quietly on a concrete slab. He read the copper plaque which said, 'Look to the future, don't dwell in your past because all around you, I see happiness at last. Beth Richards.' "What?" Con whispered. "I found it written in one of her diaries and thought I would contribute it to the beauty of her parklands." "Thank you," was all he got out, he read it over and over. "Where did you get the sculpture Brent, it's familiar but strange?" "It's Beth's car, Grant had it cubed at the scrap yard and brought here." I smiled. He looked at me with tears in his eyes then started laughing; I went with it. Ted giggled too but for a different reason, he was happy, he had footy training. We started towards the picnic area and I could see John and Ray setting up some afternoon tea. Grant had them doing push ups, fucking push-ups! I shook my finger at him and he looked sad but finally let them up to run around playing kick to kick. Ray shoved a small salad roll into my hands and winked. "How did he take it?" "It went very well I think," I whispered. "Good." I wanted to ring Rob so I moved away a bit; Con's eyes watched mine as Phil was trying to tell him something. He took Con's hand and pointed to his eyes, Con smiled and shook his head, this is the sign I did something good. While I'm on a roll I am going to do something else I have been meaning to do for a long, long time. I spoke at length to Rob and then he put me through to Helen. She was her pleasant self as I gave her some instructions. At the end of the conversation I added, "I don't know Helen, Ted likes blue but I really don't care; what color do you like?" "If I was you, boss, I would go for the gun metal grey one, it's absolutely gorgeous," she groaned. "Okay, I will look at it when you email the colors, thanks Helen for everything you do for us." "My job boss, keep up the good work." She hung up. I was happy and I hope Ray and John don't think I'm getting too extravagant but fuck it, the money is just sitting there, I may as well make someone's day. "What was that all about?" I jumped because Con had crept up on me. "Conner Richards, don't sneak up on me." I held my hand to my heart. "Well are you going to tell me?" he asked. "No." I walked off to grab a sandwich, the roll was small and I was still a little hungry. Conner took a CD out of his backpack and gave it to Andy, signed and all and he was pumped at Con's gesture. "I won't play it until after the concert, Conner, I want to hear it live first." He smiled. "Believe me, the CD is better than the concert, no screaming," he said then he looked at me. "Still no?" Reaching for the sanger I felt like the earth was moving and my arm shot out to steady my swaying body. "What's the matter Brent?" Andy got up and steadied me; Con was on to me in a split second and he made me sit down, I smiled at them. "I'm okay I just lost my balance that's all, ready for a bit of a walk Con?" "Sure." He was unsure of what to say. I got up and walked off but he wasn't far behind me; I felt like the cat that ate the pigeon, my head held high, my lips tight, my ass on show. Just a very fast walk today once around the track. Con followed and I heard him sigh once or twice. "I've got a secret and you don't know," I baited him. "Tool," he answered. "Aunty Helen emailed the colors baby, do you want to pick it?" "Yes dad, is there a nice blue one?" "I think so but we better look them all over." I really didn't care as long as my boy is happy. It could have been purple with green spots, I didn't care. Ted, Con, Phil and Dave looked at the colors and the red one was winning but Ted held fast; he had picked the midnight blue one, good choice. The top of the range BMW costs a bomb here in Australia but as long as it was safe I was happy. The boys finally started looking at its features. I really don't think they knew what most of them were, after all jets are their thing. "Well we had better be going, Tan has night lessons to do, see you all soon." We kissed them goodnight and I locked the door, Con was next to me. "A hint?" "No." I walked down to the family room leaving him at the door, mouth agape. "What was that thing you did at the park baby?" "What thing Con?" "You almost fell over, that thing." "Oh I was just feeling a little light headed that's all, just a moment; it happens." "As long as it was just a moment baby, I'll go with that for now." "Yeah sure Con." My left side throbbed again but a painkiller fixed that quick smart. My bruising looked worse than it was, but holy shit, where the seat buckle was looked crazy. Oh the joys of having money, within two days of picking the color we were the proud owners of a midnight blue, sparkling new car. The dealership had dropped it off and after the salesman took me through the new features, I couldn't wait to go pick the boys up. Grant assured me it would be safe on the street and our security was twenty-four seven so no one will trash it. I hopped in and tried all the new gadgets then started it to go pick up Con. He was sitting in the car park when I arrived and we both looked it over, rubbing our fingers on the shiny body. I asked him if he wanted to drive but he said no, not in the city, if he could avoid it. When we pulled up Ted's eyes bulged.He ran over and started hugging the car. He was a bit teary but I guessed he was happy. "Is the color right Ted?" "Perfect dad, my nana's favorite color, she liked this blue, it's perfect." He hugged us both then the car again. I looked at Con and my heart sank, we will have a talk to him tonight, maybe we are taking things too much for granted. Con's phone rang and I could hear someone shouting at him and he couldn't get a word in edgewise, whoever it was sounded pretty bloody happy. His phone went dead. "I think she said thank you and I think your secret is out." He looked shocked. I smiled. Helen's new gun metal grey car must have just been delivered, poor Con had no idea what that phone call was about. "She pissed off?" I inquired. "I don't know but don't let her near Ted. We will have homework for the next thirty years, the language; even I haven't heard most of them words." "Good." He adjusted his seat and looked at me. I kept my eye on the road as I rubbed my side. "You can tell me now." So I did, no arguments, it's something I have wanted to do for ages. Helen's work is impeccable and she deserves to drive something better than her twenty five-year-old Holden. "Good," was all he said, then he shook his head. I will ring her tonight and have a good chat to her. The car was a big hit with the ever-faithful onlookers at the park and Ted took great delight showing it off to his mates. Of course they all wanted to go for a ride so Con did a oncer around the car park with them, then Grant bundled them up to start their training. "You okay sweetheart, do you want to talk about it?" "Talk about what dad?" "Oh, I don't know, maybe the car color, maybe nana, just anything you have on your mind." "No dad, I feel nana is with me all the time inside, like aunty Mary said, and I just wanted to see her blue color every day that's all." "Well if you're worried, about anything, you will come and talk to me won't you?" "Yes daddy, thank you." I stroked his hair; he did good today, even giggled his way through Grant's legs and kicked him in the bum. We screamed with laughter but poor Grant didn't know how to handle that so he let the other six kids do the same. It broke the boredom but, thank God, they didn't target his balls. Con arrived from being on the phone and he looked tired so I think we better have an early night tonight. "Story time Ted." "Yes daddy." He read a story and Teddy drifted off to sleep then Benny hopped on his bed as we were leaving. I got sick of trying to get him to stay on his own so agreed, yes Benny; you can stay there and look after your mate. "Con, can we have an early night tonight, I am pretty tired." "Sure baby I can watch the news in bed, let's lock up." "You okay?" I looked at him. "Yes." He wasn't. I waited an hour then turned the TV off and pulled him into my neck. "Tell me." "Oh I just get a little sad sometimes. We used to have so much fun before Ted arrived. Now we are all grown up and being responsible parents. I can't remember the last time I bought you an anniversary present. Don't get me wrong baby, I love Ted to bits and I feel bad thinking things like this, but I do miss us." I thought about it for a while then said, "Well maybe now John and Ray are mostly home we can get Ted to spend more time there, they would love to have him for a day so we can go do something we like to do." "I would miss him baby." "I know what you're talking about, but I promise, it will get better, I promise." He snuggled into me, I stroked his hair and kissed him then turning him over I spooned him. It took me awhile to get to sleep and I knew Con wasn't but we eventually dropped off. "Baby turn the TV down, it's too loud." My head throbbed. "Okay dad." He picked up the remote and in no time I could hear myself think. "Want to come into your granddads with me?" "Okay." He didn't have to be asked twice, he gets treats in there. While he watched their TV and ate toasted muffins I talked with Ray for a while. "I don't know how to handle this one, on one hand; yes things are getting a bit suburban at our place and on the other, Con is growing up, he's losing his childish prank thingy." "I don't see that at all Brent, yes maybe the presents have stopped but you gave him one last week at the park.You even insisted you get a new car, he's just feeling a bit down, it happens Brent. Leave Ted here for the day or even a few hours and go out for lunch. Go visit Rob and Adam, it's been ages since you have done that." "I know, I miss them," I reminisced. "Look, he's an adult now and he's probably feeling like he's lost something important to him. But he doesn't realize he's gained something more important in the process. Give him time, if I know him as well as I think, he won't stay this way for long." He smiled. "Thanks Ray, I guess we are all growing up, I agree with you whole heartedly, now what to do about it is my problem." "I'm sure you will work it out Brent." He smiled again then smirked. Con came looking for us and John made more muffins and coffee Con took my hand and kissed it. "Did you get it all sorted out baby?" "Still working on it Con, take a number and I will get back to you when I can." He laughed, a good sign, and when Ted heard he came out and sat on Con's knee; he was hinting it was time for a pie day so Con reminded him of the last one where he got sick. 'Grandpa John can make them for us, he won't make us sick." John groaned. "I'll buy the tomato sauce grandpa," he said to John, I tried to smirk but laughed instead. Con went every day to rehearsals, sometimes coming home in a foul mood but generally pumped to be doing his thing again. I noticed his swagger was returning and he was getting into the rock star mode. He also disappeared with Teddy one day before his concert was due. "Gonna tell me why?" "Nup." He was tight lipped; well two can play at that game. Ted was also silent on the subject, didn't matter how many biscuits I offered him, he wouldn't budge. My dizziness had disappeared and side pain had left and I felt nearly normal again. He missed the last week of footy training at the park and was in meetings with Foxtel and Marty mostly. The concert was a sellout as soon as the box office opened and Con told me the Foxtel guys couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces, my guess is the money is flowing into their coffers. We readied Ted to go stay with Ray and John at the hotel where they would also babysit little Con and Hope for the night. Apparently Ted was coming to the show for the first half and then John would take him back to the Hilton. You don't have to be Einstein to work out there's something afoot, well Mr.Conners, I have secrets too. Rob called me and everything was in place for our big night so I called over to the flat that afternoon and left our bathroom stuff plus towels. It hadn't changed one bit and Rob and Adam had done a great job. Adam by the way had put his hand up for organizing Con's dressing room so he will be getting Con ready, Jill was busy with media along with Marty. There was a short film recorded on Con's life and that will be played before the intro; the announcement of the Disney movie release also will be made. I kissed my man and took Ted's hand to go sit up front. "No daddy, I stay here." I looked at Con, who blushed and replied, "It's okay, I need him for twenty minutes then Adam can bring him out to you." "Still not going to tell me?" "Nup." I found my seat, which just happened to be between Phil and Dave's and they played their game again. Legs everywhere, neck kisses, popping Maltesers into my mouth, all the general stuff I would expect from two pumped up besties. The lights went down, the film was rolled and the fans screamed and in the dark void I could see a tiny rabbit and a very large bear, the lights were brought up and I am guessing here but it was Con and Ted doing their forest friends roles. They skipped upstage holding hands and with over acting gestures they did their talking parts to the movie, then Con took most of his bear costume off to a lot of screaming and clapping then started singing Ted the theme song. He chased Ted around the stage and then Ted chased him and when they got near where I was sitting, they waved. It looked beautiful and Con's voice was superb. Bowing and taking Ted's costume off, there he was, dressed in all black just like Con who had discarded the rest of the bear costume. 'Bring It On,' started and Con and Ted strutted onstage doing a well rehearsed dance, Con coming forward to the delight of the crowd and Ted waving as he went into that void, hope I get him back. The audience was on there feet rocking to the thumping sounds that were pure Rick Conners. Cameras were everywhere on stage and I watched his gorgeous face appear close up on the big screen, the electricity that was in the arena was pulling me along, how could I not get caught up in the grid. A little boy appeared all dressed in rock star black and he headed my way and jumped in my arms. I noticed he had earplugs in, thank you Adam. "You did really good son, I was surprised you were onstage," I said in his ear as the boys patted his back. His grin went for miles, his fists tight. I sat down with him on my knees and we clapped and screamed at Conner's tight ass strutting the stage, he paraded it beautifully... I'll covet it later on tonight. The next song was a new one off his album that went over very well indeed, as did the next and the next, no slow songs tonight; we are back to straight rock. Dancers appeared throughout the show and Con's band launched their new single while Con went and changed, the whole show was just brilliant. At half time John took Teddy home after he and Con had some words and kisses, I will miss him tonight, but it's all about us for now. He of course ramped it up, appearing for the second half in tight black leather stovepipes, no shirt and a small studded collar around his neck, his hair curtaining his magnificent chest. My cock wasn't going to go down and Phil and Dave grabbed it a few times much to my surprise. Phil lifted his eyebrows. I guess he hadn't felt me hard before and was very surprised, I opened my legs and Davo nudged Phil in the ribs, an audible groan was heard. I laughed and jumped to my feet as Con's number finished. He launched straight into the next one, I didn't care anymore, there was only Con and I at this venue and he was singing to me. I pumped my fists, he watched me, I turned and bent over, he watched me, I dirty danced with Rob and Adam when they came out from backstage. "The boss wants you to tone it down a bit Brent, bloody slut," he laughed. "Go tell the boss I'm hard and ready for anything." Then I scooped up my crotch and pointed it Con's way.He watched then did the same, only a little more rock starry like. I hadn't noticed but behind me coming down the aisles were pumped guys and girls dancing with the patrons before arriving onstage to do what I can only describe as river dance moves in tight black shorts. Con launched into a head banging number while the dancers thumped that stage with tap boots and Con kept up not even missing a word. Andy and Sam were dancing with each other and had smiles from ear to ear. The number finished and Con thanked his audience, Foxtel viewers and his world wide fans, his finale was voted the best in the world that year. Reprising the Disney song to finish, it had been rocked up and dancers followed Con across the stage and back, his powerful legs not missing a beat. I had stopped dancing, my jaw was on the floor and my cock dribbled pre-cum. Di, Rob, Sam, Andy, Bob, Jen, Phil, Davo, Tom and Shane hugged me and we all went back to revel in the aftermath, it felt like an atom bomb had hit the Arena tonight and it's name was Rick Conners. I noticed Tom and Shane doing a lot of extra hugging with each other, they were so fucking cute together, shame Tan couldn't come as I missed him. Breathing heavily we all traipsed backstage; Adam was on the door. "Brent he wants to see you in private first." He ushered me in and I took Con in my arms and kissed his gorgeous lips, he felt my cock. "I thought I saw a hardon." He grinned. "For you only," I replied. We kissed again then Adam let the others in, Con was patted, kissed and hands were shaken. He was exhausted, but on a high. "Did you like Ted's performance baby?" "Yes of course I did, he was beautiful in the lights, awesome." "He was pretty bloody happy when he came off, I couldn't calm him, guess he's got the stage bug." He lifted his eyebrows. "Well I hope he sleeps well tonight Con." "We can do that when we get home, if he's not asleep I can do a story." "Nope, not happening tonight." "What?" "Got plans for you tonight big fella." "Tell me." His face lit up. "Nope." Shane was awestruck as Con handed him a copy of his CD. I sidled up beside Tom and whispered, "I think that luggage has arrived at last." He smiled at me and kissed my cheek. "You can bet on that one Brent, he's a keeper." Giggling he took Shane's hand and put it on his bum, Tom did the same while winking at me. I avoided Con for the next hour, he tried to seek me out but I kept moving, it was just on eleven when I gave him his anniversary card with a note. "Bring pizza." "What?" I squeezed his shoulder and said, "Ask Grant." I disappeared and caught a lift to the car park where I picked the car up then drove to my old flat. I had rented it for the week, after much haggling, and Adam and Rob had hired a table and chairs, a couch and a bed for us. I have a date with a rock star tonight, no kids and no dogs. One hour later there was a knock on the door. Conner was standing there holding a pizza and beer. I kissed him and then pulled him inside. His grin was painted permanently on his face as I opened a can of beer for him and got two plates for our pizza, we sat at that table grinning at each other like two schoolboys, my cock was now flat; I think it had overworked itself. "Are you staying the night or going home?" "Staying." "I've got a big bed." "I've got a big cock." "The oven is warm." "Let's get it warmer." We dashed for the bedroom and our clothes were thrown everywhere, Con smelt of soap and sweat. It was a treat to dine on his bum as he thrust it into my face. We sixty-nined, both rimming each other, it went on until I couldn't take anymore so flipped him onto his back and straddled his big cock. A little lube then I plowed my ass down, he gasped at the force I had taken to envelope his now iron rod, holding my hips, he started lifting me off him gently. "Harder." "Wha?" "Harder." He did what I told him and rammed me down on it, I cried loudly with the ecstasy and the pain but he stopped. "Are you gonna fuck me or nurse me Paws?" "Wha?" "Fuck me man, give it to me, Paws, you big hairy bear, give me your honey." He couldn't help it, he cracked up laughing, that wasn't the reaction I wanted, he went sort of soft, bugger! I rolled off him; mind you my giggling didn't help this perfect night. "I love you Brent, so very much." "Same, same my Conner." When we had settled down we snuggled; my ass still throbbed and Con was rising to the challenge again, turning around on my side I lifted my left leg and he entered me from behind, very short mini thrusts brought him quickly to orgasm as I shot my load into a towel. He breathed heavily whispering his thank yous in my ear; I turned around and kissed him. "Happy Anniversary baby." "Thank you." We slept well that night, no one disturbed us and we managed two more re-runs, my ass was thoroughly rooted. We showered and cleaned up our, only slightly, messy kitchen and left to go get the kid. But before we did we lingered near the front door holding each other and remembering the many nights we had made love in this apartment. "How did you organize this baby?" "Easy Con, I got Rob and Adam to do it." Looking at me sideways, he again shook his head. Taking the elevator to the seventh floor of the Hilton, I got that dizzy feeling again and nearly threw up, Con held onto me while it passed. "We have to get you to the doctor Brent, a.s.a.p." "Nah, it's okay, maybe it's this fast lift, I feel okay now." Ted was all talk when we arrived, Ray said he went to sleep straight after his story, no problems, so I was relieved; we got ourselves a good one here; kid that is. "Daddy when do I get paid?" He asked, I groaned. "Day after tomorrow, I will pick up your cheque from uncle Marty." "Can I come?" "If you want to baby." "Don't call me baby dad, call me little Rick." "Why?" "Because Shaun says I gotta have a stage name so I picks Little Rick." "Okay baby, little Rick," Con puffed up, Ted giggled...I groaned. At home Con did radio station interviews non-stop all afternoon, then the global ones well into the night but rested for an hour in between. A resounding success and a first for Rick Conners, he had broken box office sales for the movie, was voted best finale ever and his CD and movie both opened at number one. Ted was oblivious to all this and John had him making vanilla slices all afternoon. I moved Con to the bedroom and locked the door and while he was talking to a local radio station I gave him a long, wet blowjob. I don't think they noticed but he did go rather quiet for about fifteen seconds. More coffee and something to eat and he was out for the count at nine, just enough time for a story and shower before becoming very tired. He crawled into bed turning me around and planting his now deflated member between my legs. I went to sleep and slept soundly all night, I didn't wake at all which is unusual for me. Ted wanted vanilla slices for breakfast but Con made him eat toast; but he could take some slices for his mates for morning tea. I will pick him up after school and go to Marty's. Con would spend most of the day with him probably patting each other on their backs and Ted can pick up his cheque. It was official; my baby was now on Marty's books. Ted had to sign under Conner and my signatures and Marty shook his hand and gave him a cheque for two grand, I thought it was too much, Con winked. "We had better put it in the bank baby Rick and save it for a rainy day." "Yes dads, I better start saving up to buy some property, bricks and mortar; Bubby says you can't go wrong." I smiled, good one Bubby. "Well you have a good start there son but if you want to buy a house you can you know," Con said. "Con." I gave him the look. "No dads, I got to do this on my own, no sweat no gain Bubby says." Thank you again Bubby. I stopped Con from answering that one and said goodbye to Marty. Ted hugged him and Con picked Ted up and was whispering in his ear. "Forget it Ted, Bubbies got the right idea so you listen to him." I laughed at Con's red face. John had a roast on so we dined in next door, he asked how our concert night went and we both blushed. "That good was it?" "Yep," I said as I slid a spud into my gob. "What's on the radar for the next couple of months Conner?" John asked. "Promoting the movie and the CD and I have to go to Sydney in a few days for the Australian premier of our movie. TV for the CD so I will be away another three days then back here for more of the same. Ted will accompany me to the movie premier, it's during the day because it's a kids movie." "Do I have to do my autograph?" "Yes you better brush up on it son." Fists squeezing, eyes shut. "No can do," I said. "What?" Con asked. "School and footy practice." "Daaad," Ted screamed. "Oh okay then, you can go." He roared in my ear, it was so loud. "Yeahhhh." As I got up to put my plate in the sink I ran into the pantry door and landed flat on my bum, the plate smashing on the tiled kitchen floor, I was dazed but felt okay. "Brent, you okay?" Ray asked as he bent over to pick me up. "Sure Ray I'm fine just lost my bearings, that's all." I looked at Con and Ted, they were staring at me, I laughed then proceeded to clean up their plates. "You know Con if you took more notice of eating properly instead of drinking yourself half to death you wouldn't be so fat." "Brent?" He gulped then got up and took the plates off me as John made me sit down; he was looking at me very strangely. Ray was on his phone immediately. "Teddy eat your ice cream, I won't tell you again." I thumped the table and screamed at him. "Their on the way," I heard Ray say. My stomach lurched and I heaved blood all over the white linen, John took Teddy into the lounge room while Con and Ray started cleaning me up. "What happened?" I asked. "You have been sick baby, just sit there and relax," Con said. I could hear Teddy crying, I had to go to him. "No! Please stay here Brent," Ray urged. The ambulance arrived with Grant in tow; he took one look at me and asked, "How is your eyesight Brent?" "I don't know, I can't see a thing." I made a joke but I was the only one laughing. Grant nodded like he knew what was going on. Conner was explaining to the ambos about the car accident, the dizziness and mood swings that only started tonight. "Ruptured spleen, we better get him to hospital and quickly." I knew what that meant, fuck me, another bloody operation! The ambos diagnosis was spot on and if I hadn't been so fucking stubborn I would have realized it sooner, the side pain, the blood, the dizziness. ______________________________________________
