It was very quiet Saturday morning. I woke up and went to the bathroom. The clocked showed 5:15 am and I still felt very tired. I made a pot of coffee and looked at the backsplash and cabinets. Everything looked absolutely beautiful. I cannot believe what all Alex and Wally completed in a week. I went back into the bedroom to rejoin the love of my life. I climbed in bed and put my arm around his shoulder. He snuggled up close to me, and I wrapped him up with my other arm. I soon felt myself dosing off. Little did I know that my other two-house mates were up and going at it this morning. Alex was on top of Ronny kissing him passionately. Soon, Alex worked his way down to Ronny's cock and started a sensual blow job on him. Ronny moaned quietly as Alex was caressing his shaft, balls and slit with his tongue. Ronny said "oh baby, do you know how you make me feel?" Alex replied "I hope I make you feel as good as you make me feel Ronny." Ronny said "nah, you make me feel even better than that sweetheart." Alex rotated over Ronny and they began a 69 on each other. The room was filled with moaning and plenty of loud slurping sounds. After a few minutes, Ronny began to tenderly eat Alex's ass. Alex loves it when Ronny does this as it drives Alex absolutely wild. Ronny kept lapping his ass, cheeks and soon started working fingers into Alex's ass. Alex is in amazement with how far Ronny gets his tongue into his ass and it's one of his favorite feelings that Ronny gives him. Soon, Alex stopped sucking Ronny's cock, and leaned back more to give Ronny a better position to give more tongue assaults on his hole. Alex's moans became much louder and he said "ah Ronny, you know that drives me absolutely wild babe. Get my hole good and wet so I can take your cock in me this morning." Alex returned to Ronny's dick and pumped it good for several minutes in anticipation of the ass invasion to occur. Ronny said "babe, swing around so I can see your face this morning. Mount me and ride me Alex, I love it when you're my cowboy riding me!" Alex swung around and worked Ronny's cock into his ass. He stayed put for a minute to get use to the large cock in his ass. He slowly began to ride Ronny's cock and gradually worked up speed on it. Ronny began to buck his ass more filling any space he could in Alex's ass. Ronny leaned up and pulled Alex's head and shoulders down closer to him. He wrapped his arms around Alex and began kissing him with all his might. Alex was moaning and in pure pleasure as he continued to slam up and down on Ronny's dick. Ronny was hitting Alex's prostrate good, and Alex knew it was only a matter of time before he climaxed all over himself and Ronny. Ronny felt Alex's ass clinch tighter around his dick. He broke the kiss with Alex and said "you are the love of my life Alex. I cannot believe how good we make each other feel, and I am so lucky to have you as my partner in life." He went back to kissing Alex like a madman, and soon after Alex was spraying cum all over both of them. Alex broke their kiss and said "Ronny, I love you too so much. You make me feel so wanted, desired and loved. I am yours today, tomorrow and forever baby! Cum in my ass and fill me up you big stud!" Ronny felt Alex's ass clamping harder on his cock. He was moaning loudly and left loose with gushing streams. He grabbed Alex while he was shooting, and kissed Alex wildly. He slowed down his speed and eventually Alex lowered his body onto Ronny. Ronny adjusted and left Alex fall to his side while he was still penetrating Alex's ass. Ronny continued to kiss Alex's cheek, his shoulder and his neck. He was running his fingers through Alex's hair and held onto his man passionately. After a few minutes Alex said "do you know where you take me Ronny? I have never felt true pleasure until I met you. You make me feel so incredible, and each experience I have with you drives me further into love with you sweetheart." Ronny gave Alex a view of his face, smiled and said "good baby. I want those feelings to stay with you every day of our lives. I love you Alex, and I promise to love and cherish you every day we spend together for the rest of our lives." They laid in bed together both fully satisfied and in love. Ronny said "do we need to leave this room today?" Alex laughed and said "unfortunately yes, we do. We'll resume this though at my place next week." Ronny continued to kiss Alex's shoulders and neck area. He then spoke back up and said "I want to work with you today. We'll let CJ and Wally have their day as well. You tell me what needs done, and I'll do whatever you need babe!" Alex rolled over and kissed Ronny on the lips. He said "that sounds great sweetheart, I like that idea for today. I smell coffee, so let me go get us two cups and we'll discuss our plans for the day." Ronny smiled and said "hurry back you sexy stud." Alex returned to the bedroom with two cups of coffee. He handed one to Ronny, and sat the other on the night stand. Alex took a sip of his coffee and said "how does this sound to you? We'll go down and clean the pool area. I'll check the chase lounge and if it needs another coat of paint, we'll apply one. After that we'll check out Wally's place to see if we need another coat of honey oak there. If we need one more coat, we'll paint first then eat some breakfast." Ronny said "that all sounds great my love. Let's finish our coffee, then get moving." I heard the front door close and looked at the clock. It was just after 6:30, so I figured Alex left to go accomplish his morning chores. I gave Wally a kiss on his forehead, and he said "morning my love. Is there any coffee made?" I said "yeah, I put a pot on an hour ago. I'll get us two cups and come back in." Wally looked up at me, smiled and said "thanks babe. I love you." I gave him a kiss, smiled and said "I love you more. Be right back stud!" I went back into the bedroom with our coffee and handed Wally a cup. I got back into bed, and he put his head back on my chest. I lightly rubbed my fingers through his hair. He said "that feels good sweetheart. I'm waking up with a headache this morning. I may need to take some tylenol before starting off this morning." I said "do you want me to get you some?" Wally replied "not yet, let me see how I feel after a cup of coffee this morning." I continued and said "the cabinets and tile look even better this morning Wally. You and Alex kicked ass this week with everything. I love what all you two were able to accomplish." He smiled and said "I'm excited to see your family, but can you imagine what he and I can do with another full week? I know we could have both closets done, and a good start on the pantry. We'll get everything wrapped up though. He's so great to work with CJ, and I'm glad he is coming on board to help me at the construction company. I think he's very happy about it also." I cracked up and said "I know he is happy about it. I have never seen him so energized. He loves you Wally, and you two make a hell of a good working team together. I heard him leave at 6:30 to get his morning routines done. I think I'll take everyone to breakfast before we get started. Are you up for that sweetheart?" Wally said "oh yeah babe, that sounds great this morning." We finished our cup of coffee, and I asked "can we go look at your kitchen? I want to see how it looks." Wally smiled and said "yeah, that sounds good sweetheart." Wally went to the bathroom while I pulled on a swimsuit. He also put a swimsuit on and we went to the kitchen. I poured us each a cup of coffee, and we went next door. I was shocked when I opened the door to see Ronny and Alex both nude and painting walls. Alex smiled and said "good morning Mr. and Mr. Walters. My beautiful man was very jealous of Wally painting in the nude with me yesterday. So, I told him we will paint together nude this morning! Do you think Trevor and Carl will like some body prints on the walls for the final coat?" I cracked up and said "how much coffee have you had this morning, Alex?" He giggled and said "only one cup. My man filled me up good this morning and I feel very energized!" Ronny blushed and said "morning you two. I thought I'd give Wally a painting break today. We got all of Alex's morning chores done, gave the chase lounge another coat of grey paint and we're doing the final coat on the walls here." I decided to take a picture of them and said "say cheese for Trevor and Carl guys!" I looked into the kitchen and said "wow, the tile looks great in here also! I think it was the right call to go with painting the upper cabinets." Alex said "yes, it looks very good. I don't think there was a bad choice in going with either upper or lower cabinets. Did Trevor and Carl ever tell us to paint the hall door panels for the laundry? I think it will add a nice accent?" Wally said "why don't we check with them before doing it. I like the full white doors in the hall here now as it adds even more brightness to the oak color." I spoke up and said "I agree Wally. I believe you three almost have this condo done! Trev can start moving in if he wants to after Wally is cleared out. He possibly can give six-weeks notice for a September 1st non-renewal saving him almost five grand." Wally said "that will not be a problem at all. Let's put that bug in his ear when we see him. Carl can begin moving his stuff in as well if he wants and give his non-renewal on September 1st." I asked Ronny and Alex if they were hungry? They both acknowledged yes. Alex said "let us finish up here, and we'll join you over at our place. It should not take us more than 20 minutes to finish up. Oh, go take a look at the chase lounge if you want to and let me know what you think. I believe we may have a match with this last coat of paint." Wally and I went to Alex's workshop. The chase lounge looks great. Wally spotted two spots that needed a touch up. He grabbed a can of paint, and covered the two areas. He said "there, I think Alex may be right. This is looking much better. We'll check it after breakfast and see if it will be good to move back to the patio today." We returned to our place, and I made another pot of coffee for us. Trev sent a text and said "morning CJ. Okay if Carl and I stop by later this morning around 10:00? We'll buy your breakfasts." I texted him back and said "come on over dude. Wally and I are planning our day out, and Alex and Ronny are giving your hall walls one more coat of paint this morning. See you at 10:00." I looked at Wally and said "Trev and Carl are coming over at 10:00. They want to buy us breakfast this morning." Wally smiled and said "cool. How about you and I make a list of must do activities before UD and the family get here? We can split up the tasks between the six of us!" I said "sounds good stud. Grab the notebook and head for the patio. I'll be there with coffee in a couple of minutes." We started the list, and soon had over twenty items. Most of the items were not hard to do, just stuff that required attention prior to UD and his women arriving. The two biggest items involved shopping for the week supplies, and cleaning our place. Overall, I felt good with what is left to do and we can accomplish this with no problem. Alex and Ronny came running into our place in the nude! Alex waved at me through the glass door and yelled "we'll be right out." They each got a cup of coffee, and Ronny came out to the patio first. He smiled and said "nothing like a hot morning love-making session with your man, some naked painting and a naked public run to get your juices flowing!" Wally and I cracked up on his comment. Alex joined us and I said "Trev and Carl will be here at 10, and are buying us breakfast." Alex said "sounds great, I'm starved as my morning activities have worn me out this morning!" He gave Ronny a wink and said "love you babe. Thanks for a wonderful morning." Alex looked at the list and added two more items. I forgot about those, and they do need to get done. I said "we can probably get about half of this done today. The final cleaning and bed making should occur tomorrow morning before 11:00." All of us agreed to be up and going by 7:30 tomorrow morning to get everything accomplished. I said "we can probably have a pool afternoon and relax today! How about a simple dinner and we'll get Aaron to deliver us some pizza?" Alex spoke up and said "that sounds good CJ. We can make it a fun, but early evening and be ready for tomorrow." We all went to our showers to get ready for Carl and Trev to arrive. I went down on my man and got him good and aroused. He ate my ass out and began pumping me hard in the shower. Once again, he was hitting my prostrate in the sweet spot. I did not even have to stroke my dick as he had me shooting streams of cum on the shower wall. I had to brace myself against the shower wall as he pummeled me very hard before shooting his load deep into me. We both rested for a few minutes, and finished off with a long sensual kissing and embracing session. I washed him up, and he washed me all over. After a few more kisses and letting the water cascade over both of us, I shut the water off. We dried each other off, brushed our teeth and got dressed for the day." I led the way to the kitchen area and Alex, Ronny, Carl and Trev were sitting at the dining room table. Alex smiled and said "CJ, you're walking bow-legged!" Carl, Trev and Ronny cracked up, and I simply replied "yeah, what can I say other than my man gives me all the pleasure I need." I pulled Wally in for a kiss and hug and said "I love you babe!" Carl spoke up and said "can we look at our place before going to breakfast? I want to get two measurements and see how the kitchen looks." Alex said "the final coat has been drying for a little over an hour, so it will still be wet when we enter." Wally opened up the condo, and Carl and Trev entered first. Carl just smiled and Trev put his hands to his mouth saying "oh my God. This looks so good!" Carl spoke and said "the cabinets with the backsplash have added so much to the kitchen area. This looks incredible." Carl gave Wally and Alex each a hug and said "thank you both, I love it!" Trev followed suit and said "Carl, let's go measure the bedroom for what we're thinking." They went into the master and returned a few minutes later. Trev said "Carl is buying us a new king size bed with a dresser and night stands. It's all going to work fine. Wally, we may need to move one bedroom set to your warehouse if that is okay with you?" Wally smiled and said "no problem you two." Carl said "I'd also like to move my dining table and chairs over here and we can use them in Alex's place if that sounds good to Alex?" Alex replied "yeah, that sound fine with me. Are you two okay with the paint as is? We said a possible other change was to paint the two door panels on the laundry door. Do you want this done, or do you want to leave them white?" Carl looked at Trev, who shook his head no. Carl said "we're good with everything as is Alex. We like the white solid doors as it lightens the hall area even more." Alex smiled and said "perfect. We'll leave the ticket open, but I believe we have all the initial changes in here complete." I smiled at Trev and Carl and said "congratulations you two, and welcome to your condo! We'll get everything finalized and Wally will begin moving his remaining items out after my family leaves next Sunday. Trev, why don't you think about giving your notice of non-renewal sometime in late August? Maybe we can get you moved in by September 1st. You can use the pro-rated return for your September rent here?" Trev smiled and said "that is going to save me tremendously guys. I'll wait for the all clear from you, and give my one-week notice accordingly. I don't have much to move, so September 1st sounds great to me!" Carl smiled and said "I'll give my notice on September 1st, and do my moving throughout September. Guys, this is kick-ass! Thank you everyone so much -- I am so psyched about this." We piled into Ronny's truck and headed for the diner. When we entered the diner, Tami was waiting for us at the host stand with a big smile. She said "good morning, everyone. I was getting worried that you weren't going to make it in today!" Carl spoke up and said "impossible Tami. We can't miss out on spending some time with you each Saturday. It may not always be the six of us together, but be rest assured a couple of us will be here every week." She smiled and said "let me put two tables together, and I'll be right back everyone." I purposely stayed close to Alex, as I wanted to plan the Sunday lunch menu with him. Wally and Trev were chatting, Ronny was telling something to Carl and I said "hey you big stud, I need your help." Alex smiled and said "anything for you, what can I do CJ?" I replied "I need to come up with a `light-lunch' menu for tomorrow when UD and the family get here. As we're eating breakfast, think of some ideas. We'll exchange ideas later today, and go shopping for what we need. Does that sound good to you Alex?" He smiled, giggled and said "we'll plan the best light lunch that St Pete Beach has ever seen! I'll do some thinking, and I know we'll come up with a nice luncheon fit for your family." Tami returned, grabbed the menus and silverware and said "follow me everyone." Once she got us to the table, she asked "I'll bring water for everyone, how about some coffee and juices for everyone? Everyone said "coffee", and she said "let me guess, one orange, four cranberry and one grapefruit juice this morning?" Everyone around the table shook their head yes, and she said "I'll be back in a few minutes with everything gents." Alex said "how about a deli tray, a veggie tray, a fruit plate and something for dessert? We can either make them up, or order them today at the deli. One of us can pick them up around 11:00 tomorrow morning?" I smiled and said "I forgot about the deli and their nice trays. As far a deli tray, you think we should go with cold cuts, or cold salads such as chicken, tuna and egg?" Alex suggested "what about both if they can? We'll go with the cold salads, and add turkey, ham and roast beef for sure. We can also get a cheese tray along with a nice selection of buns. Everyone can make their own sandwich, have some veggies, fruit and whatever we can pick up for dessert? I said "Alex, this is great! We'll go to the deli first and place an order. After that, we'll go to Publix for the rest of the week supplies we need. If the six of us do dinner tonight, we'll keep it simple and get pizza for everyone?" Alex said "there, your menu is planned! Feel better?" I smiled, ruffled his hair and said "yeah big guy. You can always calm my nerves down and keep me in line!" Tami came back with water and coffee for everyone, and gave us our juices. She said "what is everyone having this morning?" She started at the other end of the table with Wally, which gave Alex and I a little time to look over the menu. When Tami reached me, I said "I'm going to try the ultimate omelet this morning Tami, with wheat toast." Alex said "make it two Tami." After the orders were complete, Alex and I joined back into the table conversation. Trev asked "do you have everything ready for your family arrival CJ?" I said "not quite, but we've got a master list back at the condo. We'll get some of it done today, with the remainder tomorrow morning. They will arrive tomorrow at 11:00 am or after." Carl spoke up and said "if Trev and I can do anything for all of you today, just let us know. Otherwise, we may just get out of your way and crash by the pool if you don't mind?" I smiled and said "hopefully we'll all get pool time in today. There might be a few things you two can help us out with if you don't mind?" Alex said "we're going to keep dinner simple tonight with pizza's gents. If Aaron is working, we'll invite him over and see what freebies we can get from the pizza shop tonight." Everyone gave a thumbs up approval. Ronny said "do you need to pick them up tomorrow, CJ, or are they getting a rental car?" I replied "they will have a rental car, Ronny. They're flying into Sarasota versus Tampa. There is a direct flight from Cincinnati to Sarasota tomorrow morning. They could not get into Tampa via a direct flight." Carl said "I bet the drive from Sarasota to your condo is only a few more miles than driving from Tampa airport to the condo." I smiled and said "yeah Carl, it takes just a little under an hour to get to Sarasota airport -- not bad at all." Tami returned with our breakfast and placed our orders in front of each of us. After everyone was served, she asked "did I make any mistakes guys, and can I get anything else for anyone?" Trev asked "Tami, do you have any jelly for the toast?" She said "yes, Trevor I'll get some right over." As usual, the food was delicious and everyone was very satisfied after their hearty breakfast. Tami made one last call at our table, and dropped off the bill to us. Carl picked it up and I said "I'll leave the tip Carl." He smiled at me and said "sounds good CJ, thanks!" On our way out we all said our goodbyes to Tami, and I handed her the $50 tip. She said "thanks CJ. You take care and have a good weekend." I replied to Tami and said "my family is coming in from Ohio tomorrow morning. I have to work this week, but I know Wally is planning to bring them in at least once for breakfast next week." She smiled, looked at Wally and said "I'm off tomorrow and Monday. Bring CJ's family in next Tuesday through Saturday, and I'll wait on all of you." Wally smiled and said "sounds good Tami. You take care, and we'll see you next week." We got back to the condo and Alex said "before we go up, let's check the chase lounge out and see if it's ready to go or needs another coat of paint." Everyone followed Alex to his workshop. The chase lounge had dried nicely, and the color almost matched the rocker and table." I smiled and said "gentlemen, this lounge is ready for patio activity this week. I love the grey color, and we need to move this back up to our patio along with the rocker and table. We'll get the other rocker and table from Alex's patio. Ronny and Wally grabbed the chase lounge and headed for the elevator. Carl picked up the rocker and Trev grabbed the table. Alex and I went to his place to retrieve the other rocker and table. All of the furniture was back on our patio in five minutes. We situated it, and it looked very nice. I smiled and said "thanks everyone! We can mark a few items off our list with this move alone!" I said "everyone, Alex and I are going to Kohl's, the deli, the patio store and Publix. Any of you are welcome to join us, or you can stay here and get some pool time in. Ronny smiled and said "I'm going to stay here. CJ, I'll get the laundry together and start a load of whites for us." I smiled and said "sounds great Ronny! Will you also wash the cover for the chase lounge padding? It's hanging in the laundry area." Wally said "I am going to stay behind as well. I'll pull down the murphy bed and make sure it doesn't have a musty smell. If it's good, I'll put the light grey sheets and comforter on it along with the pillows, cases and shams." I smiled and said "sounds good sweetheart." Carl said "Trevor, didn't you want to hit Kohl's this weekend for some shoes?" Trev replied "yes, I do. Do you two mind if I tag along with you?" I smiled and said "you're more than welcome to join us Trev." Carl said "I'm going to stay here and see if I can help Ronny and Wally with anything. When you three get back, maybe we can all hit the pool together?" Alex, Trev and I got into the jeep and started our early-afternoon journey. We went to the deli first. It was very easy to place the order, and almost everything that Alex and I talked about fell into place. The deli tray consisted of three cold salads with four lunch meats. We also ordered a small cheese tray, a medium veggie tray, a medium fruit tray. We were not able to get a dessert tray, but Alex said "I have seen a mini cheesecake tray at Publix. Let's check there and we'll pick up sandwich buns there also." I paid for the order and requested it be ready tomorrow morning at 10:30 am. The deli worker said "sounds good Mr. Walters. We'll have your order ready for you at 10:30 tomorrow morning." Trevor was exploring the store and tasting various samples. When we caught up with him, he said "wow, this is a nice store with a wide variety of unusual selections. I've got to remember this place for some special meals." I replied "I've used it a couple of times Trev. It's a little pricey, but the food has been wonderful and the deli items are very fresh. The wine and beer selections are very nice." We stopped at the patio store next, and I led us to the seat cushions. I found a nice set in a faded grey base with hunter green palm trees in the pattern. I looked at Alex and said "will this be too many palm trees along with the rug pattern?" He looked at the cushion and said "I like this pattern, and it will fit in very nicely CJ." He measured the cushions for a chair and loveseat and said "everything will fit perfectly CJ." I grabbed the loveseat cushion and Alex picked up four cushions for the chairs. Two stores down, and two more to go! Our next stop was at Kohl's. I asked Trev "what style shoes are you looking for Trev?" He said "loafers probably. I need a black and brown pair as I am about to wear a hole in my current pairs." Alex said "Trev, I have a 30% off coupon which you can use today if you want? We can give it to you for your shoes, then CJ can use it for what he needs." Trev smiled and said "thanks Alex -- I love it when I can get even better deals. I'm going to head to men's shoes." I smiled and said "we'll be in the houseware area." Alex grabbed a cart, and said "do you need one Trev?" Trev smiled and said "why not, just in case I see something else I cannot live without!" Alex and I went to the bath area first as I needed bathroom rug sets. We found some of the thicker sets with memory foam. I picked up two sand color sets which will work fine in the bathrooms. Alex found five soap dispensers which matched my sink hardware and towel bars. I said "I like those Alex versus putting a plastic soap dispenser out. Go ahead and add those to the cart." We then went to the candle section and picked out 10 candles of different scents. I said "okay that's our list stud. What can I buy you for helping me out so much?" Alex said "I do need a new wallet CJ." I smiled and said "let's go get one for you Alex." Alex found his wallet, and it was a Bogo free offer today. I said "why don't you get the same pattern in black for Ronny? While we're at it, I need one as well, and I'll get one for Wally too." Alex giggled and said "okay, Ronny's is about to fall apart. Thanks CJ! Ronny will love this. Let's go find Trevor and see what he has found." We found Trevor and he ended up with four pairs of shoes. I said "are you finished up, or still looking?" Trev replied "I am good now. I needed dress shoes bad, and I found a pair of sandals I like. I saw that Kohls was having a shoe sale today, and with the extra 30% off I'm making out big time today!" Alex said "were all done to. Let's head for the checkout, and then we'll go to Publix." We were all satisfied with our purchases and discounts at Kohls. We pulled into Publix and the parking lot was packed as usual. I said "Alex is there another store close by?" Alex said "unfortunately CJ, this one is it in the beach area. You can visit the specialty stores, such as the deli." I said "okay yell if you see a parking space." I eventually found one, and the three of us went in to fight the crowd. It took us about 25 minutes to gather everything on our list. Alex was right, the bakery had a very nice tray of mini cheesecakes. I picked one up for tomorrow's lunch. I looked at Alex and said "good call my friend! The girls will go nuts over these. UD will have his fill of them also." We made it through the check out, and loaded up the jeep with all of the weekly food supplies. If they need anything more during the week, Wally can take them back to the store. The jeep was loaded down, and it was not even 2:00 pm. I parked the jeep and Alex said "let me go get the cart, and we can take everything up at once." Trev said "I'll take my shoes to my car, and I'll grab our swimsuits." Alex returned with the utility cart, and we loaded everything on to it. I looked at Alex and said "good call my friend. This utility cart saves quite a few trips for us!" Our three mates were out on the patio watching television. The washer and dryer were going and my dress shirts were hanging in my bedroom entryway. I went out to the patio and said "we're back you studs. Did you miss us?" All three of them said "sure did CJ." I replied "let us get the groceries put away, and then we can all head to the pool for some R&R." I went back into the kitchen. Trev was unloading sacks onto the counter, and Alex was putting everything away in its place. He smiled at me and said "I cannot wait until we get that pantry built in here. That's going to relieve a lot of cupboard space for us." Everything was away, and the three of us changed into our speedos. We went to the patio and sat on our partners laps. Each one of us gave our man a spectacular kiss. Carl said "you want to forget the pool, and go next door to christen our place?" Trev laughed and said "maybe later baby? I'm feeling the pool calling us. Perhaps we can get both ideas in for the afternoon?" Carl said "okay, my offer is good for you all afternoon!" Wally said "I made up two batches of long beach ice teas for all of us." Alex said "oh wow, I have not had one of those drinks in a long time and it sounds very refreshing for the happy hour today, Wally!" Ronny, Carl and Wally went inside to change, and Alex grabbed cups and the first cooler of long beach tea. All of us were set, and we headed for the pool. Alex grabbed all the noodles and threw them into the pool. Ronny filled six cups and sat them poolside. Soon we were all floating around enjoying the afternoon sun and quiet pool area. Trev spoke up and said "this is so wonderful. I'm really going to take advantage of this area and the workout room once I get moved in here." Carl said "yeah babe. I took a look at the workout area while you were shopping. It's a very nice area for a complex of this size. Do many people take advantage of it, Alex?" Alex said "yes, a number do especially in the winter months." Carl said "that's going to be extra savings for me as I can cancel my monthly membership at my gym. Honestly, this place has more equipment than my gym so it's a win-win situation for me." I said "Wally, Ronny and I use the gym. Hopefully the five of us can coordinate times and spot for each other on weight lifting days!" Alex spoke up and said "hey, I'm going to start joining you guys also! I need to start packing on some more muscle for my man!" Ronny smiled and said "I love you just the way you are, but if you want to start joining me babe, I'd love the extra time with you." Our conversation continued throughout the afternoon. Wally said "we've killed one cooler of the long beach tea, any one ready for a second batch?" Everyone gave an enthusiastic "YES" to Wally, and he said "I'll be right back with round two gentlemen." Alex smiled and said "wait up you hairy ass bear! I'll go with you. I'm craving a cigar. Can I get anyone else one?" Ronny said "hell yeah, bring that whole humidor down!" I cracked up and said "yeah, let's make it another funday Saturday!" The remaining four of us got out of the pool, and headed for our table. Alex and Wally soon joined back up with us. Wally poured everyone a drink, and Alex put all the cigar gear out on the table. Carl said "hey Trev, whatever Bailey asks you to do this week, don't agree to Saturday nights. I'm really enjoying these Saturday afternoons with everyone poolside." Trev smiled around his cigar, took a draw and said "I won't babe. In fact, I most likely will be shifting to weekend mornings only starting in September." I said "what's brining this on Trev?" He replied "I'll know more this week when Zach, Bailey, Leslie and I meet. Our weekend morning viewers have been increasing over the last year. Zach told me that we're going to go with a 5 -- 8 show each day and Bailey will be searching for a weekend evening weather reporter. He's actually thinking about a Maumee intern if he can get one for the fall." Ronny said "hey CJ, do you remember the freshman Amber from last year? I know James was very impressed with her, and I believe she is from Georgia. I know he was grooming her to help fill the voids by us leaving. Maybe he will try to talk her into an internship here for a semester?" I smiled and said "that could very well be Ronny. There was also the sophomore anchor Joshua from Charlotte, North Carolina. With some practice, he could be a damn good weather reporter. I'm going to call James this week to get the scoop on what Bailey and him are planning." Ronny said "I like whatever they're planning. Josh will be a good fit down here with us, and it's good to get new fresh ideas in the station. CJ, did you share the race response with everyone?" I said "no, I forgot! I pitched an idea to Bailey and the executive team to sponsor a station race team in the 2024 Gasparilla race. They have agreed to it, and I sent out a `kick-off' note to all of the staff about it. In the first 24 hours, I received 24 responses to my note. 18 people want to run as a team in the race, and six want to help out the day of the race. We're going to use it as a big PR event for the station, and we're even going to do remote shows from the event." Wally smiled and said "wow babe, that is great! I can't believe you got that much response in such a short time." I smiled and said "I'm very pleased about it. We're also gauging the station interest to participate in the Bay Area Corporate Challenge. I hope people get excited about that, and we can participate in a number of sporting events around the bay area next year. It should be a lot of fun." Wally spoke up and said "let me know what the interest level on that is. Several of my associates have been asking me to get us involved in that as well. Perhaps I can get my new executive administrative vice president of operations to look into that possibility?" He winked at Alex and Alex replied "hey, I just heard six words in my title. I expect a six-figure salary to match the title!" He leaned his chair back, and took a large draw on his cigar. Ronny and I cracked up at him with Ronny saying to Wally "watch out Dr. Frankenstein, your man creation is growing into a big-headed executive now!" I looked at Alex and realized he was not smoking a vanilla cigar. I said "Alex, what the hell! No vanilla cigar, but a JFR lunatic today?" He smiled around his cigar and said "yeah, with my promotion I'm smoking nothing but the big boys now! I must admit though, those vanilla ones do have a nice smooth flavor. It's going to be tough giving those up. We may have to add another humidor to our residence with my recent promotion increase!" Our bantering continued throughout the afternoon. Ronny looked over at me and said "you doing okay bud?" I smiled at him and said "I'm fine, just anxious about next week." He replied back "CJ, you got this. Go in thinking you're a winner, and you'll come out a winner! You will be fine with UD. I'm here for you in whatever you need this week CJ." I winked at Ronny and said "I know that, I may have to cry on your shoulder later this week stud. Keep it open for me just in case." Wally said to everyone "do you believe it's after 5:00 pm already. Anybody up for some pizza?" Trev said "yeah, I'm getting hungry." Alex and Ronny both chimed in on it as well. I grabbed my phone and dialed the pizza store. Aaron answered the phone and I said "dude, where the hell are you! You're missing happy hour today and we need some pizza pronto!" Aaron cracked up and said "hey CJ, how you doing today?" I said "we're good here stud, but missing you and getting hungry for some pizza today." Aaron replied "I actually had you on my list to call today. Let me get your order, and I'll bring it by and hang out for a while if that is cool?" I said "yeah, get your ass over here Aaron! We need three larges, one supreme with no anchovies, one with pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms and the last will be a veggie." Aaron said "anything else Mr. Walters?" I said "no, that will do it you handsome red head!" Aaron repeated the order and added 24 mild wings and some garlic bread to the order. I said "perfect dude, here's my card number. Your tip will be delivered to you upon arrival here Aaron." Aaron said "thanks CJ. I'll be there in about 45 minutes." We gathered up everything, and headed for the condo. I programmed the coffee maker for a 5:30 am start. I knew my circle will be up early to help me finish things out and we will need some coffee to start the morning off! Alex washed out the coolers and got us plates, napkins and cups for the patio table. Aaron knocked on the door about 30 minutes later with our food. Ronny opened the door and said "Aaron, good to see you brother. Let me take some of this for you and come on in." I enjoy witnessing Ronny when he starts getting drunk. He get's sincere as hell, and everyone becomes his brother! Trev went up to Aaron and said "Hi Aaron. I'm Trevor Anderson, and I started working at the television station last weekend." Aaron shook Trev's hand and said "good to meet you, Trevor. I actually was here a couple of weeks ago when you did one of your audition shows. CJ said you did a great job, and it was an honor for me to watch your first broadcast in St Petersburg." Trev got a big smile on his face and said "thanks Aaron. Can I get you a beer big guy?" Aaron said "hell yes, Trevor. That sounds great!" Trevor went to the patio, and poured everyone a beer. I said to myself "okay add on a trip to the keg store tomorrow!" Aaron said "before we dive into the pizza, can I tell you guys something?" I said "sure Aaron, but you better make it quick, as Alex is giving the hungry eye to that supreme over there!" Aaron cracked up and said "well gents, you are looking at the new Marketing intern at channel 2 starting September 5, 2023." I jumped up, gave Aaron a hug and said "how did this happen Aaron?" He smiled and said "well you remember July 4th on your patio, and you told me to get to know Bailey? We had lunch last week, and he put me in touch with the Marketing Director at the station. The director and I had lunch earlier this week, and I passed him my resume. I informed him that I was finishing up my last semester at school, and needed an internship to complete my studies. He called me the next day with an offer of a paid internship through the holidays! I'm so psyched about entering into a marketing position, and it's all thanks to you CJ!" Everyone applauded and gave Aaron their congratulations. Aaron's phone rang and he checked the caller ID. He said "guys go ahead and eat. I need to take this call." He stepped over to the tv area and began to talk to the caller. One minute later and Aaron said "hey CJ, do you care if Bailey stops by and hangs out for a while? I told him who all was here, and he's pissed that you did not invite him over!" I cracked up and said "give me that phone. Bailey, you missed happy hour! But get your ass over here and have some pizza and wings with us. We have beer and plenty of liquor for you." Bailey cracked up and said "Thanks CJ. I'll be over in about 20 minutes." I handed the phone back to Aaron who began talking to Bailey again. I started to put two and two together and said to myself "maybe Bailey is gay, and has the hots for Aaron? I wonder if he knows Aaron is FTM? STOP --- CJ --- STOP! Just relax and go with the flow, don't overthink this. Maybe Bailey has a strong connection to Aaron, just like he has to you, Ronny and Trev. Of course, maybe he is a middle age daddy who likes to have a twenty-two-year-old suck his big daddy dick?" Aaron joined us back at the table, and we all feasted on the pizza, wings and garlic bread. Bailey walked into the condo and out to the patio about 15 minutes later. It was like watching an old Cheers episode when Norm walked into the bar. Everyone at the table yelled "Bailey!" He cracked up and said "hey everyone, good to see all of you!" Aaron jumped up and shook his hand saying "thanks for everything Bailey. I appreciate you putting me in touch with Mark, and I'm looking forward to starting the internship in September. I told my boss at the pizza place about the internship, and he wants to take out an account with the station for some local commercials." Bailey smiled and said "perfect. Do me a favor, and tell your boss to wait until you start. Tell Mark you have a potential client, and want to work it through with his guidance. He will eat it up, and he doesn't have to know your boss already wants an account with us. It will be a great start for you Aaron." I just sat there in amazement. Not only is he a mentor for on-air talent, but he's just a pure business mentor. When he sees someone he likes, he rolls up his sleeves, calls in favors and makes things happen for young talent. I want to be a Bailey when I grow up! I'm an influencer now, but give me thirty years and I can be Bailey Jr., helping young bucks out like he is now. I need to keep riding his coat tails, and learn all that I can from him. Alex said "Bailey, what are you having to drink tonight? We've got the full bar inside, or there is Goose Island Pale Ale on tap?" Bailey smiled and said "I have not had a good vodka lemonade since the ones you made for me on July 4th Alex. Can I get one or three of those please?" Alex laughed, jumped up and said "a double Bailey special coming right up! Help yourself to pizza and wings Bailey. I'll be right back with your drink!" Bailey joined into the conversation, and before I knew it, we were having a Saturday night fraternity bull session! He quickly loosened up with the group and just became one of the guys! It's so enjoyable to see him outside the station, even though he's fun to be around in the station as well! We killed most of the pizza and wings. Alex and I cleaned up and put the remaining pizza and wings in the refrigerator. I grabbed the humidor and restocked some of the JFR lunatics with my new supply from Bailey. I took all the supplies out to the patio table and sat them down. I announced "in honor of Aaron's great accomplishment, let's all fire up a cigar and get into some dart games!" Everyone took a cigar, and started preparing them. Bailey looked at Trevor and said "Trevor, you too? Did you fall into this corruption, or have you always been a mild manner reporter by day, and a wild man at night?" Trevor cracked up and said "Bailey, please call me Trev. Yeah, I'm the professional young meteorologist by day, and the wild ass southern red neck partier at night!" Bailey began to laugh his ass off and said "not too wild Trev, remember you're on at 6:00 tomorrow morning." Carl said "don't worry Bailey. We discovered his wild side last Saturday night, and still had him looking good on the set Sunday morning!" Bailey looked at Ronny and said "okay, you too Ronny?" Ronny smiled around his cigar, took a big draw, blew his smoke and said "yep, me too Bailey. I'm just getting myself ready for all those locker-room celebrations to take place with the Rays and Buccaneers later this year." Bailey was lighting his cigar and said "hey, Carl showed me some of the raw footage of the training camp. First of all, thanks for working early with us, and I adjusted your start date to July 24th for all the work you've put in so far. Second, your interviews with the Bucs players and coaching staff are wonderful. I'm anxious to see the final packages, but keep up the good work you sports stud!" Ronny smiled and said "thanks Bailey, I love what I am doing, I love the people at the station and I can't wait until Monday night when I get back on-air!" We all went over to the pub area and split up into four teams of two. Bailey looked at Aaron and said "well you youngster, you mind playing with this old geezer!" Aaron cracked up and said "nah Bailey, you and I are going to kick everyone's ass in darts! CJ told me about the Bay Area Corporate Challenge, and I'm going to sign us up for the men's doubles. We'll take the bay area competition by storm!" Bailey smiled and said "hell yes Aaron, that's my boy! Hey Alex, will you mix me up another one of these. Are you a bartender on the side?" Alex grinned, giggled and said "I'll be your personal bartender from here on out Bailey! Just remember to tip me well!" We all broke out in laughter on that! Alex returned and I said "hey everyone, let's take a picture of all us puffing on our cigars. I want to send it to UD telling him he's missing out on the cigar fest tonight! Aaron, you've got the longest arms, will you take the pic for us?" Aaron said "yeah CJ, everyone gather around the high top, with four of us sitting down. Once we were all posed, everyone began puffing on their cigar and Aaron said "say UD everyone!" He took two pics, and they turned out great. I sent a copy to my original circle of five and then sent an email to UD with the pic as an attachment. In the email I said "Hey UD, the guys and I just killed three pizzas and are having beers, cigars and dart games to finish off the evening. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, and wish you were here tonight! Don't show Aunt Sally this, as she will throw a shit fit seeing me smoke one of your JFR Lunatics! Take Care UD, and be ready to free ball with us all week! In the back row of pic is Aaron (new intern at the station and our pizza delivery guy), Carl (chief engineer at station), Trevor (weekend weather guy I am training), and Bailey the GM. At the table Ronny, Alex, Wally and yours truly. Love you UD, and sleep well tonight!" UD was at home packing his suitcase when his phone chirped with the incoming email alert. He checked it immediately fearing it was an emergency at one of his restaurants, but was pleasantly surprised to see it was from CJ. He read through the email, and cracked up when he saw the picture of the eight of us all smoking cigars around the high-top table. He kept looking at the picture and filed it away in his phone gallery storage. UD sat down on the bed and said to himself "look at him and how happy he is. Once again, he is with all men. Maybe my talk with him will go better than I'm expecting? I hope my news doesn't scare him away from me, and I hope he comes clean with me as I suspect he and I are from the same mold? Time will tell Dean, but you need to have this discussion and come clean with CJ."
