Subject: Kasey with a k / chapter 53

Adam 53

Maxieplus

We eventually took Sam to the fun parks outside of Brisbane two days
later. He has never seen such wonder and was so excited because his papa
took him on most of the rides. His daddy sat and waited for them to
finish each one. I'm not the kind of guy who loves being tossed around
unless it's in bed, that's a different kind of fun park. After five rides
Sam sat with me and stared at all the wonders, he placed his hand on mine
and said.

"Daddy this is amazing, the second-best day ever."

"And your best day is?"

"When poppa came and found me." Kasey arrived with some pink candy
floss and I had to look away. As I said sometimes I forget where he came
from, and always look at him as being just a happy kid in our lives.


It was time to go, he was tired and I had to get back to being the best
dad ever. He fell asleep on the way so we didn't go to the beach, just
straight down the freeway. Kasey carried him upstairs and placed him on
his bed and I covered him up, his new fluffy toys were placed next to
him.

"Where are you on this law thing Kase?" I asked after another round of
man sex. He propped himself up on one arm and said.

"I have read it all, now I have to rewrite it, the whiteboards will be
around for a while, I can't hurry this."

"Kasey, I am sorry I get a little possessive of the apartment and I
sometimes forget who lives here with me. I forget to look at it as our
family home, and whatever you want to do in the family room is okay with
me, because I kind of like being a family. The old Adam was a moody
bugger, but he sees his faults and will do something about it."

"Don't you dare change for us, stay the same, and Adam?"

"Yes?"

"We like you the way you are, even Sam smiles whenever he hears your
crazy rants, he told me once it reminded him of the way he imagined a
real family was like. So never change and I will continue to annoy you if
you don't mind."

"Pop over on your tummy baby, there's something I want to do."


He collected his awesome rim job and then wanted to get back to work. He
had learned how to dictate into his phone, he would send it to Mick who
typed it into the computer. Sometimes when he had a lot to say, he would
sit on the balcony and do it, so he doesn't disturb us. I will talk to
Wilson about having it windowed off so it's used more than it is. The
cabin is coming along nicely, so I am told, I have also been told not to
drive up there and look on the sly. Eva was tight-lipped, and anyway, as
she said to me one day. Wilson has the plans well hidden because she had
looked for them. I think he keeps them in his office at the fed building.

I had no worries about it, Kasey has it all in hand and he also has the
trust in hand. We had been summoned to Walsham's office one day and
Kasey was dressed down by him, he had taken it upon himself to shift half
the wealth into some bonds he said were better performers. Walsham wasn't
happy, Kasey wanted him to trust him. Jimmy and I sat and giggled into
our brandy.

"Who do you think will win?"

"Kasey of course, Walsham's men need a good kick up the bum for investing
in proven but stagnant stocks. I think he will do well for us Adam."

"He will." I was so proud when the accountant came in and agreed with
Kasey's decision, Walsham hit the brandy then.

The opening night was a cocktail party. The do not enter ropes had been
temporarily put aside and the guests could roam wherever they wanted to
go. There were reporters, big wigs from the museum, and the appropriate
university scholars, that studied everything to do with the arts. Ladies
dressed to the nines and men wore tuxedos, my man was the best and caught
many eyes while he strutted around. The biggest stars at the party were
Cody Mitchell and Daniel Lawrence, I had become fond of Cody through our
business dealings and his sense of humor is second to none, he had us in
stitches most of the night. Mum wore her evening dress and the ring,
which sparkled all night, Trish wore her earrings and surprisingly a very
elegant floor-length gown. Mick looked gorgeous in his tux and Eva and
Wilson stole the show, she had bought a vintage beaded dress and looked
awesome, barrel curls and all.

"Dan, my eyes are over here." Cody started.

"I wasn't looking at anything Cody." He blushed.

"Well, when you stop looking at nothing. Kasey is taken, but I'm
available tonight." He had a sneaky grin on his face.

"Cody Mitchell, will you stop that."

"But Dan, if you want to bed Kasey you have to ask Adam first."

Poor Dan he wasn't doing anything different than the others were doing
with my man, looking is free and he got plenty of looks from the men and
ladies tonight.

"Come on Dan be nice, ask Adam if you can bed his boyfriend."

Dan looked at me and I smiled.

"Of course you can Dan, he's a great tight fuck. Just ask him, he can
take you down to our apartment for a quick one now if you like."

Dan walked off towards Kasey and Cody thumped me on the arm and said.

"That didn't go the way I wanted it to Adam."

"Well, I'm sure they will have fun. And if you were fishing for
compliments, take it from me, you look stunning tonight." I started
giggling.

He rushed off and grabbed Dan's arm and didn't let it go for the rest of
the night, it was so funny. Cody's such a gorgeous man, I wouldn't mind
giving him one on the sly. The night was a big success and everyone got a
small handbook memento. The museum will open in two days and the cleaners
will be in tomorrow. The pre-bookings were through the roof, there will
be three tours a day with only twenty people per tour allowed, it has
sold out for the next six months, so I am told.

The boxes in the games room were still waiting for me to open them, I
will start doing that when everything settles down a bit.

We finished our last cocktail then we said our goodnights and went home.
Sam and Billy were being supervised by two army guys Kasey had organized,
they were in bed asleep when we got in. No coffee just a thank you to the
guys and goodnight to mum and dad and I readied for bed. Kasey was also
ready to jump me, he had his bikini underwear on tonight so I flipped him
over and started my journey toward giving him a good shafting. He
protested mildly, but I won in the end, and I thoroughly enjoyed the
experience. I could tell Dan hadn't gotten to him in the bathroom, he was
nice and tight.

Sam and Billy were up early I could hear the tv, so I put my bathrobe on
and went out to see if they needed anything. I put the coffee on and made
some milo for the kids then sat at the table flicking through the booklet
I had received last night. She was a star, and hopefully, her memory will
go on for many years to come. I was dreading going through those cartons
but strangely excited to delve once again into Adele's life. I will take
our trolly up sometime in the next few days and collect a couple.

Mum came out still sporting that ring on her finger, she will take it off
one day when she finds out how much it's worth.

"Good morning, dad sleeping in?"

"He's awake son, he's just finding it hard to get motivated." Two pairs
of young ears heard her and immediately jumped off the couch and headed
to her room, I could hear dad laughing.

"Is that enough motivation for him?"

"Yes son, you did well," She laughed. Kasey appeared and he still had
his bikini underwear on, although mum didn't see it, I did as his
bathrobe flapped open, and my hard-on was instant.

The weather is improving again, and the rain was becoming less and less
depressing. The whiteboards were now covered in colored scribbles and
lines and I had been warned not to clean them off. When I looked at them
closely they were a window into Kasey's mind, each line meant something
and he would look at it often, there is a road map in there somewhere but
naturally, I couldn't make it out. Mick had gone back to his office but
complained he had nothing to do, but Kasey kept him sort of busy by
sending messages, it was a clear indication he was reading everything
when a couple of times he told Kasey he had already done that part. Then
they would discuss the new part and Kasey would explain why it was done
deliberately that way or other.

I finally went upstairs after mum and dad left, the cleaners were there
and I grabbed the small trolly and took two cartons downstairs. I figured
that instead of watching Kasey work, I will get involved with my project.
It wasn't as bad as I thought, as I looked through one. The first item I
picked up was a book of baby photographs that were of Johnny and his
parents at the hospital. Adele looked tired and her husband was smiling
as he held the tiny baby's hand. He was a handsome man but looked a
little older than my friend, she once told me he was the gentlest man she
had ever met, and in the madness that was her career, he always made her
feel quite normal. I put the book aside to look at later on.

There were documents in a folder with photos, some of my building being
built, and signed contracts and orders for all the materials, even the
plans from Cody's grandfather were in there. I was building up to another
museum event and I know Cody would love a copy of the contracts and
plans. I started making a stack of my own, but not where Kasey's stuff
was. I used a wall space next to my display case. The rest of the boxes
were folders with building plans and designs in them. I thought it funny
that a well-known builder kept these plans, he would have had a mountain
of them stored in his office, maybe he kept the main ones at home, like
the ones that mattered.

The next carton was full of thousands of photographs, a whole lifetime of
modeling, no albums just quality photos. I guess the ones in the albums
were her favorite ones, and to be honest who wants hundreds of albums
hanging around? It made sense she tossed these extras into a carton. I
was thinking if this is what's in the others I will have no problem
looking through them. Kasey had picked up the baby photo album and was
looking through it he was smiling to himself, I took my phone out to the
balcony and rang Cody. He told me the plans would have been the builders,
that he had all his grandfather's plans and his grandmother's designs in
big architect's drawers at his home. We talked about the opening night
and some business I needed to discuss with him, then I hung up and went
back to the table.

Kasey had finished his looking and was now back to reading, I looked
through the book again and then put it aside.

He got a phone call and told me he had to go out for a couple of hours,
he never said where but when he came back he had two buckets of KFC so I
guessed he had made a trip to the cabin.

He was excited and Sam was even more excited to see the big red and white
tub.

I put some out for us all and left the rest for Mick and Trish, they
won't be far away. Sam got some chips also he was very happy to sit and
eat watching his shows.

"So are they nearly finished up there?"

"Not quite." I lifted my leg and gently placed my foot in his crotch.

"No hints?"

"It will be wonderful." I rubbed harder.

"Give me something Kasey I'm dying here."

He put his book down then grabbed my foot and pressed it harder into his
shorts.

"Your salon arrived today."

"My what?" I almost screamed.

"Your portable, the one that's going to be your salon when you are
there."

I couldn't say anything I was dumbstruck, we had only discussed it I
don't remember even looking at them.

"Do you want to see a photo?"

"Do I?"

He handed his phone over and I looked at the photos, a small cabin much
the same as the big one, was sitting on the side of our driveway. It
looked beautiful.

"Where did you get this from?"

"Wilson had it built, it was delivered today. I went up to make sure the
placement was correct, they will build a garage on the end of it for the
car, and some storage."

"It's beautiful I love it." I jumped up and moved next to him then I had
to give him a smacker, and a hand rub.

"Well done," I said.

"They will hook it all up, two sinks and two chairs just in case you get
busy. You need to go to the suppliers and get the stuff you will need
unless you have plenty in the salon."

"I can get new stuff, want to come shopping with me?"

"Of course, they will need to be delivered to the cabin so the guys can
install it all, and Adam?"

"Yes, Kasey?"

"Don't forget the chandelier." He giggled.

"And the rest, do we need to buy anything new for the cabin?" I'm on a
roll now, he may slip up and tell me something.

"No, it's all done."

"What the cabin?" He smiled.

"Leave it for two weeks, it will all be finished by then, and maybe we
can go stay a couple of nights." he grinned. I was looking forward to
seeing this amazing renovation and my new salon, or should I say barber
shop probably.

"You might like to involve your business partner Trish also, she might
think of something you have forgotten."

Of course, Trish will be involved.

She and Mick arrived at six and while Kasey and he talked Trish and I
made a list. The chicken got the better of Kase and he started unloading
it onto a big platter, from experience Trish and I took the pieces we
wanted and left the rest to them to fight over. Sam had finished but he
came over to see if he needed more. He was handed a leg which he grazed
on.

"Do we get the antique chairs or the basic ones?"

"Basic Adam, I recon the black steel ones. And we should tone down the
mirrors and chandeliers to more of the area appropriate look." I see what
she means, we are almost in the country up there.

I had a list by the end of the night and I think Trish was planning
curtains and doilies, a country look but that's not happening, I will
keep it simple.

The next day all three of us went shopping, Sam was eager to go see some
stuff and I, with the list in hand, will stick to the plan. The ladies
were pleased to see us again and they welcomed Kasey back and his son who
wanted to run around the small warehouse. I chose two nice sinks with
folding chairs the two standard chairs, we won't need the bells and
whistles ones, not in this salon. The rest of my shopping was bits and
pieces, dyes and dryers, and assorted hairdressing essentials. I won't
keep the beauty range or extra shampoo bottles, the local supermarket
keeps all that, I just want to do hair and that's it.

I arranged the delivery for two days and the ladies loved their big sale,
they had a good time checking my husband's ass out too, for free.

Back at home, I thought I would go and get another couple of boxes, pay
my cafe account and then try to occupy Sam's afternoon. Kasey was back to
his law books checking something out. He had rung Wilson and told him the
salon stuff will arrive in two days and he said he will get his man onto
it. So I am none the wiser with the cabin although I do know about the
salon.

Mick arrived just before lunch he had bought some pies for us all, which
I was pleased about. I had sandwiches in mind

but pies are nicer.

We ate and then he and Kase got to work. I asked Sam if he wanted to come
for a ride, and he was up for it. I placed him in the trolley then walked
into the restaurant and paid my account, then around to the alleyway to
get to the apartment.

There were two museum people in it, they were getting ready for their
first tour, I introduced myself and then opened the store to grab a
couple of cartons. With them loaded up I locked it and we ventured
downstairs again, by this time there was a small crowd of people in the
alleyway.

I should have stayed to hear their comments and to do the tour, I still
don't know about half the things on display but I can always come back
later. I do know the third one is a twilight tour so they can see the
city lights.

Kasey and Mick were hard at it so I dumped my cartons next to the sofa
and while Sam watched something I opened the first one. It was full of
contracts, I think my friend kept every one she had signed. I put that
one aside, I can't burn this stuff but I can reduce the space by filing
it away properly. I stacked it over where the others were, the next were
photo albums, I deemed these as Adele's favorite ones from her modeling
days, they were exquisite. She had written the photographer's name and
the designer on paper under the photos, there were some top names there.

I put that aside and will flip through them when I get a minute to myself
or before I go to sleep, either way, I will look at them all.

Later on, Trish arrived and she had bought a huge packet of fish and
chips, Sam could smell them and I placed some chips into a bowl for him.
The others were going to be kept warm in the oven but the smell got the
better of them and they grabbed a plate each.

"Why not," Trish said and helped herself then my tummy groaned and I
ended up eating early.

"Did you do some more cartons, Adam?" She asked.

"Yes, one is full of contracts the other is modeling photo albums,"

"Can I look?"

"Of course."

She went and got one and began looking through it.

"Wow." I heard it several times.

Kase has finished his work for the day, and Mick grabbed an album to look
at.

Sam had sat on Kasey's knees, which immediately spoilt his foot rub. He
was asking Kase about the cabin, and why can't we go there to see his
mates on the weekend. My ears pricked up and I heard.

"Because uncle Wilson is doing something special for you, and you can't
go there it will spoil your surprise."

"And daddies?"

"Yes and daddies."

"What is he doing papa?"

"Lots of special things son, just have some patience."

"Did you get a permit to trade from the local council, Adam?"

"YesTrish all done I rang them, and it comes under the salon permits so
no need to take a trip up the hills."

"Silly boy, that would have been a good excuse to call in to see
Wilson." She giggled. I looked at Kasey and winked

"Good idea Trish," I answered.

"It's magical Adam and Sam, that's all I am saying. It will be magical."
He grinned.

I took another album into the bedroom. I thought I could look through it
before I went to sleep, no chance in hell. Kasey had me positioned in his
favorite spot and he wasn't going to let up any time soon. It was late
when we finished and I think I fell asleep immediately after.

He was up when I woke and sitting at the table reading something.

"Did you get up early?"

"No, just twenty minutes ago, the coffee is fresh."

"Thank you, how long have you got to go?"

"Months Adam, this will take a few months to do then it's got to be
looked at by a federal judge."

"Are you confident it will be accepted?"

"Yes, I have already reduced the volumes from three to two, and by the
time I finish that will get smaller."

"I see." I didn't see but if he says so then I will agree with whatever
he says.

Sammy arrived and he collected his hugs and kisses, I got up to make him
his morning drink and he sat on the sofa to watch his cartoons.

I went into the bedroom and grabbed the photo album, there were some
serious photos in it. I was getting used to going through this stuff and
my mood didn't drop, so I thought I was becoming immune to seeing Adele's
beautiful face.

Kasey was looking through some paperwork once again and after I made some
bacon and eggs he dived on that and grinned at me. I think that's my cue
that he wants some loving in the shower.

My days passed and as I went through the cartons I did find more albums,
a carton of baby toys and clothes, and several stacks of letters that I
won't read, they are too personal. There was a stack of them from Johnny,
I offered them to Jimmy but he didn't want to go back he was happy to
just live as he has been for years. One carton had a piece of wedding
cake still wrapped up, along with a big bride and a groom cake topper
that Sam looked at for ages. I asked him if he wanted it in his room but
he declined and said he has enough beautiful things.

Mick was calling again every day and at one stage he and Kasey were out
on the balcony arguing. He told me later that Kase had inserted some
chapters that didn't make sense.

"Do you think he's taken on too much Mick, answer me truthfully?"

"I think what he's doing is brilliant but it's not a one-man job, it
takes a team of legal eagles to rewrite these things. Quite frankly I
think the Australian government has asked too much of him."

"I see, so you think he's struggling?"

"In a word, yes. Adam, please don't say anything I am trying to put it in
some kind of order without him knowing, but even I don't know half this
stuff."

There was a subtle shift in my home and I was torn between telling Kasey
he's taken on too much and what he wants to achieve, he became moody over
the next two weeks and I became worried.

I asked Trish and Mick to observe him because I valued their opinions,
and they will report any concerns back to me.

The cabin was something he held close, he hardly mentioned it and I was
about to drive up and talk to Wilson myself when he finally said we
should go up for a weekend.

"Leave your books here Kasey, lets us just enjoy our weekend away."

"I will need them, Adam."

"I don't think so Kase, I want you to completely rest and concentrate
on having a good weekend with your son."

I know it was under sufferance he left them at home, but he took his
laptop which was disappointing. We stopped at KFC and got the kids some
chicken and chips, Sam almost sang all the way he was so happy to get
back there again. We parked in the front and standing there was my small
salon, it looked awesome. I didn't even unload the car I just walked over
and looked in the window. Wilson's men had set it all up and I fully
approved. Kasey was laughing with Sam and he came over and asked if it
was okay. I kissed him and thanked him for his hard work, he then rattled
a set of keys at me so I took them. I will look through the salon later
but for now, I have a house to look at.

Nothing much had changed, it was almost like a non-event. Yes, the room
had been pushed out quite a bit, but my little kitchen was the same. The
balcony was wider and Sam wowed all through the little cabin. I turned
the power and water on then went to light the fire.

"You did good my Kasey, this looks wonderful so much more room."

"There's more Adam, don't light the fire just yet." I looked at my
matches and replaced them on the hearth. He pushed aside the new barn
door on the end of the balcony revealing a staircase, it was all glassed
in with glass steps and chrome balustrades. He picked Sam up and took my
hand and we went downstairs, I was gob-smacked. We were confronted with a
completely glassed-in room, a whole different house had been built down
the gully wall.

"You did my design?"

"Yes my Adam with an a, did you think I would do anything else than your
idea?"

"Well, yes." I giggled.

"Wow, wow." Sam went on, this was an entirely different house than the
cabin, a lounge room with kitchen and bathroom, a bedroom at either end
all sitting amongst the lower foliage, all enclosed in a big glass cube.
We would be living amongst the forest, and when I saw them I laughed, now
I know what Sam was all excited about. A full-sized hippo, a giraffe,
monkeys, and lions were hidden in the bushes.

"They are fiberglass so they won't deteriorate." He grinned.

"This is amazing Kasey, it's wonderful and warm as toast."

"The heating comes from the ground an even temperature all year round.
The windows darken at the push of a button, and there's still more." He
slid a panel across and stepped out onto a pathway. You couldn't see it
from the house but the path took us to a clearing

where there was a barbeque and table, a lux lounge area. A fire pit he
said ran on gas and it was all covered by a huge sail. I almost cried it
was so beautiful.

Sam had disappeared, but we could hear his delightful cries as he
discovered more animals in his backyard, this will entertain him for
months.

"Have the boys next door seen this?'

"No they were not allowed on the site, but they will be home soon then
the fun starts."

"You did very well, it's so bloody nice."

"Adam, before you ask a limited amount of ferns were shifted not
destroyed in the making. Wait until you see it at night time."

"I can't wait." I turned and looked at this amazing man and then I kissed
him. We heard yelling and before we realized it the kids from next door
poked their heads through the bushes.

They greeted us and hugged Sam, the chatter started and their catch-up
was lengthy.

"Did you see the fish pond, did you see the elephant?" They went on.
Sam shook his head no then they took his hand and they ran further into
the bushland.

"They have been playing here since it started." I laughed at Kasey s
face.

"I guess they have." He smiled.

"Little boys, you can't lock them out, there's too much to be discovered,
well done. Come on I want to look in the house."

It was nearly much like the one I had drawn, it was wider than what I had
in mind, our bedroom was big but not huge, he had furnished it with a new
bed and a set of vintage bedside drawers, a walk-in wardrobe, and a
bathroom. Sams was different the same wardrobe and bathroom but he had
two sets of bunk beds. The living room had the kitchen bench across the
back and yes, he's put in a fire for camping, but a gas one with flames,
they won't be able to do their marshmallows, but there's always mum's
trick, the stove.

The furniture was plush and comfortable, he had foregone the vintage hard
look for a more relaxed contemporary look.

"So we don't use the cabin at all now?"

"It's for guests Adam, I didn't want to mess with it too much but we can
still light the fire and camp out up there, sitting on the balcony will
be ace we can see the livestock better." He laughed.

This was built for Sam, he now has loads to do when he's up here in a
kid's paradise. George and June came looking for their kids we hugged and
they welcomed us back.

"It's amazing Adam, we got reports every day from the kids, sorry we
couldn't keep them off the property." George grinned.

"We understand and I couldn't be happier with the results." I went into
the kitchen and turned the jug on to make coffee.

"Kasey can you go get the milk and food the kids will be hungry when
they get back." He ran up the stairs and did that small chore for me.
Our guests looked through the house and gave their approval then June
asked the major question.

"When are you opening the salon Adam, there have been cars pulling up
every day for the past two weeks."

"I have no idea June, we did think the first Monday of each month would
be good for us."

"That sounds good to me, be ready for a rush at first, maybe you should
think about two days initially until it settles down."

"I will talk to Trish." I smiled.

Kasey came back with the kitchen stuff and I grabbed the milk and placed
the chicken in the oven to keep warm. He also had his laptop case and
started setting it up at the table. I didn't mind but I have to watch for
any sign of stress, he hides it so well. He and George talked about the
windows and the heating then the bushfire preventatives that were
installed on the roof. A bigger water tank and hoses connected to the
town supply will come in handy if that ever happens.

The kids screamed back they were all so excited and talked a million
miles an hour then they went to look at Sam's room, they each picked a
bunk and then found the extra sleeping bags. They were dragged out and
placed at the ready for a campout. My phone rang and of course, Mick and
Trish wanted to visit. I asked Kase if that was okay with him, then I
told Trish to buy some more chicken on the way.

I dished up the chips and chicken to the kids, June and George had a
piece each, and Kasey grazed on a leg. There was plenty to go around and
when Trish gets here there will be more, the tv went on and the kids sat
on the bags to watch after-school programs. I went upstairs to light the
fire and try to warm the cabin up, the heat from downstairs is contained
to those areas, I checked the beds and deemed everything perfect. I then
walked out to the front and opened my salon. It was just as I wanted it,
perfect in every way, I can seat two clients and four waiting with two
washing. A coffee machine was plumbed in and all I had to do was unpack
the shampoo and utensils I will need to run it. No reception desk just a
lockable drawer for the money. A credit machine had been installed so I
was ready to go.

"Is it ok baby?"

"Perfect, everything is perfect Kasey, we will have to get Eva and Wilson
up for a weekend as a thank you."

"They have been staying here the past two weekends." He grinned, and I
will chastise Eva the next time I see her, for not telling me.

It was starting to get cold by the time Trish arrived, I sang out for her
to stick another log on the fire before she came down. She was gobsmacked
and Sam had a hold of her hand and was trying to drag her outside, but it
was getting cold so she said he could show her in the morning.

George and June had a word with the boys and left us to it, they had
things to do apparently.

More chicken was handed out and Kasey lit the gas fire which will add to
the warmth and ambiance.

"It's bloody beautiful Kasey, you have done a great job with it all."
Trish was still looking around.

It was getting dark so Kase grabbed the remote and lightened the windows,
they had slowly turned everything black and all of a sudden some hidden
lighting came on.

He showed Sam how to use it and left it on the table.

They all climbed into the bags and talked about everything they were
going to do tomorrow, I think they were playing Lion tamers.
