Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2023 11:34:02 +0000 (UTC) From: CJ Wilson Subject: My long-range forecast - chapter 41 My long-range forecast -- chapter 41 Hello there everyone. I hope the weekend was good for you. I continue to rewrite and write more chapters of this story and I'm seeking any suggestions, constructive criticms or positive feedback you have about the story. Please send information to cjwilson328@aol.com. For those if you who have already reached out to me - my thanks! I'm working your ideas into future storylines. The weekend has begun for CJ and all of his friends. As usual, the happy hour occurs but two unexpected guests at the condo bring a big surprise for CJ's circle. Please consider making a donation to Nifty (using link https://donate.nifty.org/). Let's keep this site going so that we all can enjoy the continued submission of stories. The Friday afternoon and evening festivities were fun for all. I saw Carl by himself in the television area and went over to him. I said "okay dude, I need your help on something!" He smiled and said "shoot big guy! What's on your mind?" I smiled and said "what's the story on Nick and Zach? I have never heard either one of them talking about a girlfriend, and I see them together quite a bit. Do we need to find them a place also at this condo complex?" Carl cracked up and said "honestly, I think they are both bi and perhaps friends with benefits. Both of them have had girlfriends, but the pussy licking always ends for one reason or another on both of them." I busted out laughing at what Carl said and told him "Okay dude, thanks for the info. I'll keep my eye on them and ask you to do the same. They're both great guys, and who knows maybe someday they'll be in our circle." Carl said to me "do you think Wally will mind if Trev and I crash here tonight? We brought his suit for tomorrow morning, and I was thinking about just going into our new bedroom and christening it with him tonight." I cracked up and said "go ahead and ask him, but I know he will tell you no problem! I'm so glad you two will be joining us here stud!" Carl said "me too CJ. I'm going to go check with Wally and if he's okay with it, then I'm going to have several more beers and another cigar." Aaron came up to me gave me a hug and said "thank you again for everything today, CJ. Bailey and I are going to exit and head down to our place. We're both exhausted, and we meet with the bathroom supply store tomorrow morning at 9:30 am. He's not sure about Nick and Zach, so I'm going to leave first and he is going to follow about 15 minutes later." Aaron said his goodbyes to everyone and made his departure. Bailey was sitting over at the high-top watching the dart game in progress. I joined him and said "you doing okay boss?" He smiled at me and said "find out what you can about Nick and Zach for me." I cracked up and said "I'm already on it, big guy! I'll have a full report for you next week." I continued on saying "I hear you are picking out bathroom supplies tomorrow?" He smiled and said "yes we are, and I'm looking forward to it! I'm finally setting up a house with someone I truly love. Dinner is on me tomorrow night, and we'll figure out something easy to do tomorrow." I said "sounds good. I'll take you two off the list for breakfast at Kurt's diner tomorrow. We'll catch you both next time." Bailey finished his drink and said "everyone, I'm beat and going to head out. Thanks to all of you for showing support to Aaron today as I know he appreciates what all we did for him today. You guys continue to enjoy your Friday night, and I'll see you all next week." Trev was the next to leave and gave me a wink. He said "guy's I'm going to take off as well so I'll be ready for tomorrow morning. I'll see everyone later." On his way out he said to me "breakfast at the diner around 10?" I smiled and said "Yes, sounds good. I'll drag part of the crew there. Enjoy your night next door!" He smiled at me and said "will do CJ." Alex came over to the high-top and said "how are you doing CJ?" I looked at my friend and said "it has been one hell of a week my friend! I'm feeling relaxed now, and I'm looking forward to two days off. What's on your agenda for the weekend Alex?" He grinned at me and said "whatever you want me to work on boss!" I cracked up and said "let's tackle the remaining two closets tomorrow morning. Breakfast is at 10, and I'll help you with your work tomorrow morning." He smiled and said "you don't need to do that CJ." I smiled and said "I know I don't need to, but I want to help you, Alex! I need your help with something also." He smiled and said "I'm at your service always. What's up?" I took him over to the television area and said "Nick and Zach surprised me by showing up here today. They're both great guys, but we need to figure out their status. Bailey needs to know how to act around them, and I do as well. Carl said he thinks they may be bi and possibly friends with benefits. Let's put our gaydar on my friend, and get resolution to this new issue as soon as possible!" Alex smiled, did his giggle and said "I'm on it, Mr. Walters! I'll fill my faithful sidekick in on the details as well. We'll get to the bottom of this for all involved!" I cracked up as Alex went back to the dart game. He had that determined look on his face, and he's on a new mission for me. Ronny joined us and said "hey gents. What a hell of a long day! I'm going to change out of my suit. Is there any food left over for me?" I smiled and said "plenty of burgers, hot dogs and sides for you, my friend. Go get changed and I'll help you fix a plate in the kitchen." Ronny smiled and said "sounds great CJ, I'll be back in a few minutes." I met Ronny in the kitchen and I reheated two burgers for him. He added his toppings and added some sides to his plate. I said "before we go out there, I need your help on something. Alex is already on a mission for me, and he's going to fill you in to help. Nick and Zach showed up today for happy hour. I'm fine with both of them hanging out with us, but Bailey needs to know what their status is. I also want to know so we can act accordingly around them." Ronny smiled and said "oops, I should have told you earlier. I've caught them several times in the men's bathroom at work in compromising positions. They're both gay and in love." I cracked up and said "are you serious?" Ronny replied "yep, both are tired of striking out with women. They've been together for just over a year and are keeping everything quiet at work." I said "okay, with knowing this now, we need to devise a plan to get everything on the table so we won't be hiding from each other!" Ronny smiled and said "I'm on it, brother. We'll get this resolved even tonight if you want me to?" I said "hell yes, I need to calm Bailey down as he is apprehensive about being around them with Aaron." Ronny said "leave it to me CJ, I'll take care of this after I eat." Ronny went out to the patio and I followed him. He took his plate to the high-top and said "hey gents, did you miss me tonight?" He went over to the keg, poured himself a beer, chugged half his glass and said "oh my God, I needed this after a long-ass day! Put me down to play the winners after I eat." Ronny returned to the high-top and said "Hey Alex, come over here when you have a minute." Alex smiled and said "sure thing Ronny, let me finish this throw off." He approached the high-top and said "what's up stud?" Ronny said "after I'm done eating, just follow my lead. I know what CJ asked you to do, and I already know their status. You and I are going to get it out on the table tonight!" Alex smiled and said "okay my love. Should I make this an academy award performance?" Ronny smiled and said "yes, let's give it our all and you just look sexy as you always do!" Ronny turned to me, winked and said "just watch us my brother and follow my lead. I'll have resolution to this in ten minutes for you!" I cracked up at Ronny and thought to myself "he's up to no good! I've seen this so many times before in him and he always does come through for me." Ronny finished eating and poured himself another beer. He grabbed his plate and said "hey Carl, did I show you that autographed photograph from Drew Brees when he was at Purdue?" Carl cracked up knowing Ronny was bullshitting him and said "no you haven't Ronny. You keep mentioning it to me but I'm beginning to wonder if it exists at all?" Ronny smiled and said "follow me and I'll show you now! I got it framed and hanging in my bedroom." I smiled and thought to myself "okay, he's including Carl in the plan as well now. This should be good and I'm anxious to see what he's up to." Ronny returned with Carl and Trev behind him and had a shit-eating grin on his face. He took a big chug of his beer, belched loudly and said "hey Alex, get over here you stud muffin!" Alex went quickly over to him and said "what's up?" Ronny said "I am you sexy man, and I hope you'll take care of me tonight." Ronny planted a huge kiss on Alex and they went at it for almost a minute. Nick and Zach just stood motionless watching my two dear friends enjoy their passionate embrace. Ronny broke the kiss, smiled at everyone and said "what you haven't seen two men in love with each other?" I cracked up, walked over to Wally and performed my academy award performance with him embracing and kissing him just as Ronny had done with Alex. Once I broke the kiss, I smiled and said "Thanks Ronny, Wally and I are in love also and can't keep our hands off each other." Carl led Trev to the center of all of us and planted a lengthy kiss on Trev to repeat the previous performances of Ronny and I. Carl finally broke his kiss and said "make it three couples everyone. Trev and I met his first day of work, and we are also madly in love with each other." Ronny had Alex sit on his leg and said "okay Nick and Zach, there you have it. We're all gay here and don't want to have to tip toe around you two. We don't advertise it at work, but here at this complex we are proud to show who we are and that we're in love with each other. I chose to do this tonight in front of you two so that you will hopefully open up to all of us? We treat each other with friendship, mutual respect and lots of love. I'm hoping you two will feel comfortable with us to share your secret and become part of our circle. The six of us are going to be living here in this complex, and we'll be on the lookout for any condo openings for you two if you want to join us? What happens in this complex, stays amongst our circle, so please guys open up to us and enjoy what you have with all of us. You're both two fine individuals and we enjoy your friendship. We welcome you here anytime as long as you're both open with us, and I can guarantee that we'll be open with you two as well." Nick grabbed Zach's hand and said "Ronny, I don't know if I want to beat the shit out of you or give you a hug and kiss?" Nick turned to Zach and said "baby, I feel comfortable with all of them and I believe it's time to come clean with them." He planted a kiss on Zach and they embraced in lengthy affectionate kiss as well. Once they broke, all of us applauded. Ronny walked up to them and put a hand on each of their shoulders. He smiled and said "first Nick, drop the macho shit and please know if you try to beat the shit out of me, I will return the action right back at you! I want you two to feel free as the rest of us here feel. Enjoy yourselves, and know that you are in a special family here who all love you, respect you and will do anything we can for you!" Individual hugs and kisses were shared by everyone after that, and Zach began to cry. He said "Ronny, thank you. I have to admit I enjoy myself here with all of you, and it will be even more enjoyable knowing I can be myself and express the love that I possess for Nick." Nick shared similar emotions with the group and I spoke up saying "okay gents, you will learn more surprises here tomorrow. Zach, once you're off work tomorrow I want you and Nick to come back here and hang out with us. Plan on staying for dinner, lots of conversation, friendship and plenty of eye candy!" They both cracked up and Nick said "we'll be here CJ, thank you so much!" Trev said "okay gents, now I'm really going to bed! Zach, Carl and I have an extra bedroom you can crash in if you want to since you have to be at work with me? Nick can stay here, play darts and then join you later." Nick and Zach looked at each other, gave another kiss and Zach said "that sounds excellent Trevor, thank you. I am ready to crash, and I think my man here wants a few more beers." Carl said "excellent, I'll bring Nick home when we're done here. You two go get some sleep, and Trev and I will make sure that Zach is up in time for work tomorrow morning." Trev and Zach left for next door, and the remaining six of us continued on with our evening activities. Wally came up to me, gave me a kiss, hugged me and said "why am I left out of all the sexual outing plans around here?" He and I cracked up and I said "I'll give you a full rundown of everything including Ronald Bradford's academy award performance tomorrow morning over coffee my love." Ronny smiled, went to the keg, poured himself a beer and said "I am ready for a cigar, where's that humidor at?" We all ended up smoking a cigar, including Nick. He said "okay, this is my second cigar I have ever smoked and both have been on CJ's patio!" Carl smiled and said "get use to it bud! When you're here you need to let loose with us!" Nick cracked up, took a draw on his cigar, drank some beer and said "anyone up for team 801?" He got an approval from everyone, and we split up into teams of three. Ronny and I were on the same team to start with Nick. I leaned into Ronny while we were sitting at the high-top and said "remind me again, you stud, why we never hit it off and ended up together?" Ronny cracked up and said "CJ, we're brothers for life. We are the poster children for the phrase better friends than lovers"! Did you enjoy my performance tonight?" I cracked up, gave Ronny a hug and said "that by far is my most favorite Ronny Bradford performance I have ever witnessed. It's going to be hard for you to ever top that one my friend!" Our evening ended relatively early for a Friday night. Carl and Nick knocked off around 10:30 and stumbled back to Carl's new place. As they went out the door Carl gave me a hug and said "I love it that I only have to go 10 feet or less to my new home. Thanks, CJ for all you have done for me and Trev. I love you, big guy!" The original foursome of the circle each grabbed another beer and adjourned to the television area. Ronny said "I'm still two or three rounds behind you three, so I may have three more beers to catch up with you before our night ends." He looked at Alex, pulled him in for a kiss and said "and you my love need extra special attention tonight for your outstanding performance!" Alex smiled and said "I'm all yours you hairless stud! You were very impressive earlier this evening. Have you ever thought about going into psychology to assist people with disclosing their deep, dark secrets?" Ronny said "nah, I just want to be a sportscaster with a beautiful man by the name of Alex at my side!" After the news ended, Ronny looked at me and said "maybe we can convince Mitch and Paul to take vacation the same week in October that Daniel is taking. You can do the news and weather, and I'll do the sports!" Wally laughed and said "I want to see that soon guys! I believe you two will play off each other well and create an outstanding broadcasting team!" Ronny finished his remaining beer, stood up, picked up Alex and carried him through the sliding door towards their bedroom. He turned around to Wally and I, smiled and said "night guys, enjoy yourself tonight. I know I'm going to as I plan to make passionate love to my man all night!" He went off to their bedroom while Wally and I cracked up. Wally shut off the lights and I locked the front door. I grabbed his hand and said "let's go to our side baby and make some passionate love as well!" I untangled myself from Wally's tight grip as I needed to go to the bathroom. I changed into some shorts, a tee shirt and tennis shoes and went to the kitchen. I saw the clock displaying 6:10 am, and decided to brew a pot of coffee. Alex joined me about five minutes later and said "good morning, CJ. Please go back and get some more sleep." I smiled at him and said "nope. We're going to have a cup of coffee, plan our day and go get your morning chores started." Alex smiled and said "okay, if you insist." He poured us each a cup of coffee and we sat at the breakfast bar. I said "thanks for letting me help you today. I want to stay busy this weekend so I don't dwell on the thought of Jasper Jeffers stalking me." Alex smiled at me and said "okay my friend. Remember, you're safe with me and if he tracks you and I down this weekend, I will kick his ass before they cart his bloody remains off to jail!" I grabbed my notebook and started a list of items to accomplish for the weekend. I said "Trev wants to go to breakfast at 10:00 with whomever is available. Let's plan on being ready for that. Aaron and Bailey are meeting with the bathroom supply store at 9:30 this morning, and won't be with us at the diner. Is there anything you want to accomplish this weekend Alex to get in a better position with the overall renovations?" He said "yeah CJ, at a minimum I want to get all of my clothes moved here. We'll also take one more pass through my place to make sure I don't have anything else to move. After that, I want to focus on getting the closet organizers in place for Aaron and Bailey." I smiled and said "okay, that sounds like a good list for you and I to focus on today. Maybe our better halves can focus on getting Wally moved in as well? Bailey said he will take care of dinner for all of us tonight. Do we have time for one more cup of coffee, or do we need to get started?" Alex smiled and said "let's drink one more cup CJ, then we'll get started." I said "Alex, Ronny shocked the hell out of me last night with the impromptu outing of Nick and Zach. I pulled him aside and told him what I shared with you and asked for his help. He already knew that Nick and Zach were gay, and forgot to tell us! I must admit, I enjoyed his approach to the whole scene and I think it made it easier for Nick and Zach to admit their feelings for each other." Alex cracked up and said "that man of mine is so forgetful at times. Ah well, I love him to death! I agree with you CJ, the way he approached the scene was sick, as these youngsters say! I feel better though that we can now be ourselves around Nick and Zach." I said "I do as well my friend! If we see Aaron and Bailey this morning, I need to tell them the situation is resolved, and not to worry about them. I know this will relieve Bailey so much as he can be free to show his feelings for Aaron around them as well. Do you know of anyone else looking to sell or sublet their condo units so that we can move couple number five into the complex?" We both had a good laugh on that and Alex said "are you ready to go CJ? I need to get the exercise room open soon." I finished my coffee, left a note for Wally and Ronny, and headed out with Alex to begin his morning routine. Alex opened the exercise room first, and turned the lights on. I said "is there anything special you do on a daily basis to prepare the room? He replied "I go through it and make sure there are no towels on the floor, wipe down the machines if they look dirty, look for water bottles that have been left behind and take a damp mop to the floor. I also check both of the changing rooms for cleanliness." I said "I'll start with the changing rooms and make sure they are clean, and mop the floors." Alex said "that sounds good, I'll get started out here. Give me a yell if you have any questions." We had the exercise room ready to go in about 30 minutes. I said "what can I do next for you?" He smiled and said "go ahead and go out to the pool area. Unwind the hose, and begin spraying the pool area and the furniture off. I'll be out in a few minutes and check the chemical levels of the pool and hot tubs." I got the hose fully unwound and began to spray the patio area and furniture off. I heard someone come up behind me and say "good morning you Muskie stud. Is this your second job?" Bailey and Aaron were standing there with a carafe of coffee, two coffee cups and some towels. Bailey continued on and said "Aaron and I wanted to hit the hot tub for awhile before we go pick out bathroom fixtures." I said "sounds good gents. I'm helping Alex with his morning cleaning routine. I think you can use any of the hot tubs. He will be checking chemical levels soon. Before I forget, you missed an academy award performance last night of Ronny Bradford. I asked him to help me figure out what the story is with Nick and Zach. He said that he found out they are gay and in love with each other. He outed them to Alex, Wally, Carl, Trevor and myself. They came clean with all of us and we told them they are more than welcome here, they just have to be themselves and what happens in this complex, stays in this complex!" Bailey smiled and said "First, I'm shocked. I thought those two went out on the town searching for women all the time the way they talked. Second, thank you again CJ. It hasn't even been 12 hours since I asked you for help, and you have it resolved for me! Do you think Aaron and I should come clean with them?" I said "they crashed at Carl and Trevor's place last night and I told them to come back here this afternoon and plan on staying for dinner. I think we should put all the cards on the table Bailey. It's going to be fine as they know our rules for the complex. They also do not want to advertise their relationship at work." Bailey smiled and said "once again CJ, you have exceeded my expectations!" I cracked up and said "you need to thank Ronny for this one Bailey. I wish I would have recorded his performance for you last night. If you want to make him feel awkward, ask him how he found out that Nick and Zach are gay and in love with each other?" Bailey said "okay, I'll get some liquor or beer in him tonight and corner him for the full story!" Alex came out and joined in the chat. Bailey said "is it okay to use a hot tub Alex?" He smiled and said "go right ahead you two and use whichever you want to. I'll begin work on the other units, and then when you're finished, I'll check the unit you use." Aaron said "thanks Alex! I've got arrangements to get my hot tub moved over here this coming week. I'm going to enjoy having it on the patio so that Bailey and I can enjoy it in a more private setting." Alex laughed and said "If I can help you two out with any deliveries or moving, just let me know. Also, do you mind if CJ and I work in your condo this morning? I will get my clothing and all personal items out, and we're going to start working on the closet organizers." Bailey smiled and said "you go right ahead and do anything you want Alex. We'll be back later and if we can help with anything, we want to." Aaron said "I hired two gentlemen to move everything out of our place to Wally's warehouse. They are planning to start tomorrow for us on the living room, second bedroom and the patio table and chairs. They're going to come back on Wednesday to get the remaining furniture over to the warehouse. Everything should timeout well with the deliveries I have scheduled this week." Alex continued and said "once we get the closet organizers into your closets, I'm not sure if you two will need those shelves that I added in the closets. How about if we save some of the wood, paint it grey to match the bar and we'll build some floating shelves for you in the bar area?" Bailey smiled and said "excellent idea Alex. I've got some items I want to display in the bar area, and that will work out perfectly!" Alex smiled and said "okay, I'll plan on removing those shelves but save the wood for future use then." Alex and I continued on with the morning work while Bailey and Aaron enjoyed coffee in the hot tub. I finished up with my part of the work, and asked Aaron "do you mind if I join you and Bailey while Alex finishes up?" Aaron smiled and said "please CJ, join us in the tub or just sit with us if you want to." I pulled up a chair and said "Aaron, how are you this morning?" He looked at me and said "as you know my friend, it's going to take time for all of this to fully sink into me. I get better each day, and with the help of my sweetheart each day gets a little easier to process." He leaned over to Bailey and gave him a kiss after his comment. Aaron continued on and said "I cannot thank you enough CJ for what you did for me yesterday. I was so pissed when my aunt backed out on me, but it worked out better having you perform the eulogy. Your words were filled with love, caring and eternal happiness. Both of my aunts said their farewells to me at the graveside yesterday. I doubt that I will ever see them again, which is fine with me as I know my family is here now." Bailey moved closer to Aaron, put his arm around Aaron's shoulder and kissed him on the forehead. I spoke up and said "I owe you both a story on UD. As you know he's coming back down for the football game in September. He requested a private discussion with me while he was here earlier this month. I was afraid he was going to tell me he was ill with cancer, but instead he informed me that he has been in a gay relationship with his best friend for over ten years. They don't want to break up or hurt their families, but they love each other and try to get away together for private times as much as possible. UD wants to get the girls through college before he informs Sally of anything. Jack and UD will be down for the football game and will be staying some extra time to go boating, fishing and enjoy each other's company while they're here. Once UD told me all of this, I came clean with him about my sexual orientation and my relationship with Wally. He suspected I was gay, but was thinking I was involved with Ronny and not Wally. He's accepted us, and for now we're keeping it from Aunt Sally and the girls. So, that is my reason of why I do not want Josh staying here at the condo. I want UD to have his special time with Jack, and they're always welcome here." Bailey said "wow CJ. I have a similar story to UD then. I knew about ten years into my marriage that it was not for me. I stayed with it though because of my daughter even though she wants nothing to do with me now except rob me of my money. Once she turned 18, the wife started the whole divorce process as she was not happy at all. If you're comfortable with telling UD my story, you're more than welcome to. I'm anxious to see him again as well as meeting Jack in September. Do you think the two of them will join Aaron and I for dinner?" I smiled and said "I know they will Bailey, and thank you I do want to inform UD that he can be comfortable around you and Aaron as well." Aaron spoke up and said "if they're comfortable in a larger bedroom, they are more than welcome to stay at our place CJ." I said "thanks Aaron. Right now, they are planning to stay in my office or crash on the chase lounge on the patio. I'll mention it to them though, and Carl and Trevor have also offered their second bedroom to them for more comfort. I'm not going to kick Ronny and Alex out for the week as UD and I came to an agreement that we respect each other's forward progress. He is aware of Ronny and Alex as a couple and accepts them as well. I'm very lucky to have him in my life and his acceptance of me and my friends means the world to me." Alex joined us and pulled up a chair at the hot tub. Aaron said "sorry guys, I did not fix enough coffee for all of us and Bailey and I have drained this carafe." Alex said "no problem. CJ and I will have plenty of coffee at the diner this morning. Bailey looked at the time and said "we should probably get moving son to make that appointment! I'm looking forward to designing our bathrooms with you Aaron. Our condo has such a good start to it thanks to Alex, and I'm so excited to continue the design with you moving forward sweetheart." Aaron blushed, kissed Bailey and said "I'm looking forward to everything life has to offer with you Bailey." It was nearing 9:00 am when Alex and I made it back to our condo. We found our studs shirtless, in skimpy shorts and flip flops carrying clothing from Wally's place to our closet. I smiled and said "wow, let me grab a pic of you two studs! My goodness, you're both looking very good this morning." They both cracked up and Ronny said "we're feeling good this morning also. Our men gave us all we could take last night. Since you two were up at the crack of dawn, we decided to get started and get Wally moved in today so that Trevor and Carl can proceed soon with their plans." I smiled, turned to Wally and said "how is the closet working out for you babe?" He replied "perfect CJ! That organizer adds so much storage for us. I'll show you what we've accomplished after our shower this morning." All of us headed to the showers. Even though Wally ravaged me last night, I was horned up for him this morning. When I saw him shirtless and in his skimpy shorts, I had to have more of him. I started the water, pulled him into the shower with me and began kissing him passionately. We caressed each other and he soon made his way to my nipples. Before I knew it, he had me moaning while I continued to kiss him like there was no tomorrow. He dropped to his knees first and began giving me a blow job to top all of the blow jobs I'd received from him. He continued to work my nipples while sucking me off. We exchanged positions, and I was ingesting his delicious manhood. I got him moaning good, and he said "I need you baby, make love to me today. Shove that beautiful cock up my ass and take me CJ." I turned him around and began to eat his ass and work my fingers into his hole. Once I had him opened up, I began to pump him vigorously and soon had my cock fully inserted into his ass. We were both breathing hard just like two dogs in heat. It was a beautiful tender moment for us as the water from the rain head cascaded all around us. I must have been hitting his sweet spot good this morning as I heard him say "I'm going to shoot babe you're sending me to that special place this morning!" He shifted his stance and had both hands on the shower wall as he screamed out in ecstasy shooting his load all over the shower wall. I kept up my hard thrusting on him and soon I was filling him with my juices. I slowed my thrusts down, and eventually we both came back to our senses. I laughed and said "you wore those shorts to tease me this morning, didn't you?" He smiled and said "I know those make you horny, and after this week you needed to relieve yourself. Plus, I have to admit I was horny as well to have you go at my hole this morning my love!" We both washed off, stepped out of the shower, dried off and wrapped towels around our waist. He took my hand and we went into the closet. I said "wow, everything looks so organized and we still have a lot of room left in here. We can move some of our dresser drawers into here and if we ever want to remove the dresser from the bedroom, I think we'll be able to do so." Wally smiled and said "yes, I think everything will fit in here for the two of us. We should leave the dresser for now though, just to finish the bedroom off." I smiled and said "I agree babe. Let's get changed and meet the gang for breakfast!" Wally led me to the dining room area and we found Trev and Carl at the table. Carl smirked and said "Trev and I bet on which couple will come out first. I lost and now I owe Trev my ass later today!" All four of us cracked up and Carl continued on saying "Hey CJ, why didn't you tell me that Ronny is such a good actor?" I cracked up and said "I knew we were in for a good show when he wanted to show you his autographed picture of Drew Brees. Hell, he has never met the man!" Carl laughed and said "I knew he was up to something and decided to just play along with it. Little did I know that we were going to bring Trev into the scene as well." Trev said "yeah, what the hell! I was taking a dump before going to bed, and Ronny pulled me off the toilet saying he needed my help!" Wally and I cracked up and I said "congratulations everyone. You all witnessed the Ronny Bradford I fell in love with during college. He has pulled off so many stunts like what you witnessed last night. It was extremely funny to watch, wasn't it?" Carl said "yeah, I loved it when he got into Nick's face and said if you beat me, I will beat you!" I thought I was going to piss my pants on that. I'm glad that Nick and Zach came clean with us and I know they'll appreciate our circle very much moving forward." Alex and Ronny came out both grinning ear to ear. Carl stood up, gave a round of applause and said "there he is. The man, the myth, the legend Ronald J. Bradford! Excellent show last night stud! You almost lost me when you told me to come look at your autographed Drew Brees picture." Ronny cracked up and Wally said "all I can say is that I was totally lost with what all was going on! It did not even dawn on me that Nick and Zach are gay. My vice president of operational affairs, closet organization and gossip control let me down by not informing me of what was transpiring!" Alex went up to Wally, hugged him and said "admit it though, you hairy ass bear, you enjoyed the show, didn't you?" Wally cracked up and said "it was a classic event that I don't think will be topped anytime soon in our adventures together!" Trev said "come on everyone, I'm starved. Let's go see Tami!" We piled into Ronny's truck and headed for the diner. Tami gave us a big smile and said "I was hoping to see all of you this morning. Let me go check to see what tables we have available." Tami seated us, took our orders and our usual Saturday banter started amongst the group. Carl looked at Wally and said "thanks for letting Trev and I stay at our new place last night. It was great to have a short distance home to travel on a Friday night!" Trev smiled and said "the traffic was fine for me getting to the station this morning. I also want to thank you Wally. I enjoyed our evening together, and it was so nice to immediately crash when I needed to. I love our place, and cannot thank you and Alex enough for what all you have done for us." Wally smiled and said "it's our pleasure you two! Ronny and I got all of my clothes out of the unit this morning. I'll move my business supplies over this afternoon, and we'll leave an open ticket between the three of us if anything else needs moved at a later date. Trev, why don't you plan on turning in your notice Monday morning, unless they are open today?" He said "the office is open today until 5:00 pm. Carl, do you mind if I go ahead and pull the trigger today?" Carl said "no problem at all babe. My complex is open today also, so I will give my notice for October 1st vacancy as well." I smiled at everyone and said to myself "good job CJ! You've made them both happy, and you now have two wonderful friends and neighbors in your circle." Tami and another waitress brought our food to us. As always, everything looked delicious and we all dug into our breakfasts. While we were eating, Carl and Trev decided that once they turn in notices, they will begin moving stuff in today. They are going to start with Trevor's items as he will need to be vacated next Saturday August 19th. I spoke up and said "Alex and I are going to move his clothes over today. Ronny and Wally, you can help us or continue finishing up Wally's moves?" Ronny spoke up and said "I'll finish up with Wally, then I'll come down to Alex's place to help out." Alex said "once we have my closets emptied, I'm going to start working on the closet organizers. There is not room enough for all four of us in one closet, so we'll decide how to break up the work later today." After we finished eating, everyone was excited to keep the move progressing. Everyone added money to the table for the bill. We had more than enough for the bill as well as a very nice tip for Tami. We told her that we needed to head out early as we have a busy day. She thanked us all for our gracious tip, and we headed back to the condo complex to resume work. Carl and Trev took off to deliver their nonrenewal notices. Wally and Ronny went to finish his moves, and Alex and I headed to his unit to begin work there. I said "okay stud, I believe I can help you most by emptying one of the closets. Does everything in the master closet go to our place?" Alex took a quick glance at his clothes and said "yes, everything in here can go CJ." I had my orders, and I began taking Alex's possessions to our place. I hung his hanging clothes on the hanging racks, and placed his folded clothes on shelves. He said he will rearrange later. Ronny joined us about thirty minutes later. I said "Alex, why don't you show us what needs moved out of the second bedroom closet for you. After you show us, you can head down to your workshop and bring up one organizer along with the tools we will need." Alex smiled and said "sounds great guys! Let's go to the other bedroom closet and I'll show you what needs moved up to our place." Soon, Ronny and I were moving items while Alex was getting a closet organizer for us to begin assembly on. Alex got back with all of the necessary equipment, and began removing the unnecessary wire racks out of the master bedroom closet. He also moved his shelves out to the patio for use in the bar floating shelves at a later time. Wally, eventually joined us just before noon. He came into Alex's condo and said "okay chief, what's the plan?" Alex smiled and said "I have the shell attached to the wall in the master closet. How about you take the remainder of the work with CJ or Ronny. I'll take one of them down to the workshop and retrieve the second organizer and get started on the second bedroom closet?" Wally smiled and said "do you mind if I keep my man here with me and we'll finish this unit off?" Alex smiled and said "not at all. I'll enjoy having my man work with me today!" It was around 2:00 pm when I heard Bailey yelling "is anyone here?" I cracked up and said "were all in the closet Bailey!" Aaron and Bailey came into the master suite first. Wally and I had finished the organizer on the back wall, and were installing shoe racks when they appeared at the master closet door. Aaron took one look and said "this is awesome guys. I can't believe how much storage is now available against the back wall." Bailey was looking around as well and said "very nice guys, thank you so much. This is going to work out great for us. I'd offer to help, but I'm not sure if all three of us will fit in there comfortably." Wally smiled at Bailey and said "give us ten more minutes in here and we'll be finished. You may want to check on your other bedroom closet though, as I have not heard Alex and Ronny in a while Bailey." Aaron and Bailey went to the second bedroom and Aaron said "hey studs, how are you doing?" Alex smiled and said "welcome back you two! We have about thirty minutes left in here to finish up. How was the shower shopping?" Aaron and Bailey both said "exhausting" at the same time. Bailey said "too many choices and so much to think about. I love where we ended up though." Aaron said "I do to sweetheart. They will be faxing Scott all the materials and costs yet today. Scott surprised us though when we were there and informed us that a crew will be here on Tuesday to start the patio bar work. He also found us a grey cabinet for us to hold the sink, has storage and has an opening for a refrigerator. Once the patio work is done, the same crew will move right into the guest bathroom and start the renovation there. After they finish the guest bathroom, they're going to the master bathroom renovation. I'm so pleased that we'll have a functioning bathroom at all times." Wally and I joined everyone in the guest bedroom. I said "well guys, how do the organizers look to you?" Bailey smiled and said "fantastic! Thanks everyone, I appreciate all of your help today. We were just telling Alex and Ronny about the patio and bathroom work. Scott has a crew ready to go this Tuesday on the patio bar and surprised us with a cabinet to fit the sink, a refrigerator plus extra storage. Once they finish the patio, they will move into the guest bathroom changes if we accept the quote, followed by the master bathroom." Wally spoke up and said "that's fantastic you two! If everything goes as planned, all of your bath renovations will be finished up by the end of September. Alex and I will get the plans and estimates cranked out on the pantry. If you two agree to that as well, we'll wait for you to tell us when to start. I don't want to overload you with too many renovations." Bailey smiled and said "thanks Wally, we appreciate that. Everything is working out nicely for us and I am so pleased that we'll have our place in order sometime in October." Alex said "hey CJ, if you want to take the cart and start loading up all of the cardboard and packing materials for the recycle bin, please go ahead. Ronny and I will be finished in about 10 minutes here." Wally said "I'll help you CJ, let's get all this cleaned up and we'll come back up in a few minutes." The six of us headed for our condo after 3:00 pm. We ran into Trevor and Carl who were finishing up loading clothes into their closets. Trev said "hey everyone! Our notices have been completed, and I am officially a tenant here next Saturday! This is so exciting!" Carl said "My notice is in as well, and my complex actually needs my apartment on September 1st, so I do not have to pay rent there for September. I'm psyched, and I just need to complete the furniture moves over to here in the next couple of weeks. Ronny said "that's great Carl! If you want, I can start helping you tomorrow with the furniture moves?" Carl said "ah, we'll wait until next Saturday when Trevor is available." Trev spoke up and said "Carl, please go ahead and start with Ronny tomorrow babe. I'll be fine at work, and we should get it done as soon as possible so we don't run into any problems." Carl said "okay, we'll start tomorrow then. This is so wonderful!" Aaron said "Wally, I told CJ this morning, but I have two men coming in beginning tomorrow to remove furniture to your warehouse. We will need to coordinate with you at some point tomorrow to get the warehouse unlocked. They will be back on Wednesday to remove the remaining furniture." Wally said "that all sounds good Aaron, we'll be available whenever needed tomorrow." Our entire group went into our condo and Bailey said "what drink can I make for everyone, or are you going to have beer instead?" Alex said "what's your specialty mix Bailey?" He smiled and said "I make a killer long island ice tea." Everyone said in unison "long island!" Bailey cracked up and said "okay gent's, I'm on it. I know I promised dinner for everyone, but I did not have time to cook like I planned. How does Italian sound to everyone? Aaron said he will order for us from his pizza place. We thought about getting a variety of pizza, spaghetti, salad, bread and wings for everyone?" Everyone acknowledged with a thumbs up, and Bailey began getting all the ingredients ready to mix up for his killer long island ice tea! About five minutes later there was a knock at the door. Aaron was closest and answered it. He said "hi there, Nick and Zack, come on in and join everyone. Bailey is mixing up the happy hour drink, and we'll be ordering dinner in a little while." Aaron went and stood next to Bailey in the kitchen. Bailey said "howdy guys. I'm glad you two could make it over today. Before we go any further in the afternoon, I have one item to share with both of you." Bailey wiped his hands on a dish towel, grabbed Aaron in an embrace and began kissing him very passionately. When he broke the kiss, he smiled at Aaron and said "thanks for making me the happiest man alive. I love you, Aaron." Aaron blushed and replied "I love you more Bailey and cannot wait to continue down our road of life together." Both Nick and Zach were taken back by what they witnessed. Bailey saw their reaction and said "come on guys, wish us well! You know my marriage was a disaster, and I've known what I wanted for over ten years now. I have found what I've been looking for with Aaron. I ask you to respect my privacy at work, but around here I don't want to have to hide anything from anyone! Aaron and I are moving into a condo on the third floor, so get use to seeing us here." Nick went into the kitchen and gave Bailey a hug. He said "I am so happy for you. I know you were not happy in your marriage, and you've put up with so many obnoxious women in your life. Congratulations Bailey. You've made a fine catch with Aaron. I wish you two nothing but happiness and love in your future." Zach joined in with a hug to both Aaron and Bailey and shared similar emotions with them. Bailey poured everyone a drink and said "okay everyone, love is all around us except for Nick and Zach. I hope that you two find someone special like we all have and experience true love in your life. Cheers everyone!" All responded to Bailey's toast and Zach said "Bailey, you don't need to exclude us from that toast. Nick and I have been in a relationship for over a year now. We love each other as well, and thank you for coming clean with us." Zach turned Nick around to face him, and they began to kiss in front of everyone. Once they broke their kiss, everyone applauded for them and Bailey said "congratulations guys! I'm very happy for both of you and how does it feel to be outed twice in one weekend?" Everyone busted out in hearty laughter on Bailey's comment and we all went out to the patio to enjoy the remainder of the afternoon. Aaron ordered us dinner and we feasted later on the delicious pizza and other items brought from Aaron's store. After watching the 6:00 news, the dart games began and Bailey got a euchre game going with Aaron, Alex and myself. The conversation amongst all of us never ceased throughout the late afternoon into the evening. I decided to sit out the next euchre game and Trev took my spot. I went over to the television area and sat down to reflect on the day. Looking around at everyone I saw nothing but happiness, which elates me. I told myself "Not bad CJ for three months work. Your circle of influence is now up to 10. I know there are some stragglers out there looking into the circle, and we'll find them. What's my magic number? I'm not sure if I'll ever reach it. All I know is that I'm so happy to be surrounded by wonderful friends, my love of my life and my new family. It's going well, and I'm enjoying the prospects that my long-range forecast continues to bring my way."
