Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2014 11:17:02 -0400 (EDT) From: MGTBILL@aol.com Subject: DYLAN'S SUMMER VACATION TWO Chapter 73 DYLAN'S SUMMER VACATION TWO Chapter 73 by Donny Mumford Awesome to go to bed happy, loved, and sexually satisfied. With a smile on my lips, sleep comes quickly. A dreamless night and then I wake up this morning one minute before my alarm would have gone off. Funny how your subconscious mine seems to have a clock-like mechanism of some sort. There's my usual panicky feeling for a moment when I first wake-up, thinking I've forgotten something important, but no... Chubby has our lunch and uniform responsibilities for today, so everything's fine. My shower was taken care of last night so I'm in good shape time-wise too. When my bathroom stuff is completed, I get dressed and wander into the kitchen for coffee. Today I beat Chubby there, but not by much. I'm on the balcony with my coffee, smoking a cigarette for only about a minute when Chubby lets himself in carrying our clean uniforms and our lunch. He grins at me and waves, then makes a mug of coffee and joins me out here. Without even flinching he accepts my good morning kiss on his lips, then he says, "You're looking especially perky this morning." I grin, muttering, "I hate the word perky," and pass Chubby my cigarette. He grins back at me, mumbling, "Okay, perky is a dorky word, so you look especially cute this morning." I say, "There ya go, and so do you, bro." We talk about our first day back to work after Wildwood and decide we're anxious to get these last three weeks of summer behind us. At the end of our last freshman semester at Merrimack we were a little burned out with college, but now we're looking forward to getting back at it. I tell Chubby about Dodger and Connor coming home the weekend we move into our college apartment and we discuss a little welcome home party. Of course it'll probably be the Dickers who throw a party since Dodger's their son, but we can have our own party for the lost boys too. Finished our coffee and cigarette, I carry our fresh uniforms along side Chubby, who's carrying our lunch as we go down the steps to the Jeep. Both of us are kinda eager to see the guys on our crew again. Chubby's looking forward to hooking up with Lee. William Lee Jefferson and Chubby hit it off right from the start. Chubby calls him Billy Lee because the first day Lee was on the job Robby informed us Lee hates being called anything but William. Naturally Chubby paid no attention to that and called him Billy Lee when introduced to him. William loosened up with the name thing after awhile and now the rest of us call him Lee. He has this cool way of walking, it's almost like a swagger, but not quite, plus he's funny. He smokes cool too... some guys are just naturally cool. Lee and Chubby are funny together, especially during our breaks. Lee was hired at the beginning of the summer when Dodger quit the job to join the Army. Initially I thought he was gay because he often said provocative gay-related things to me, as if he was coming on to me. Then he'd tell me he was just goofing around like he does with a friend of his that's gay, and it turns out that's all he was doing. He's straight like most guys, and he has a nice girlfriend too. I met her at Dodger's and Connor's going away party. Then there's Jerry who replaced Ryan when Ryan's family moved out of state. I thought Terry was another bully type at first, but he turned out to be a misunderstood and slightly confused pussycat of a guy. He and I came to a meeting of the minds one afternoon when I gave him a haircut, and since then we've been friends and he's like the hardest worker on the crew. He's big and strong and not afraid to get his hands dirty. I'm mostly looking forward to seeing my buddy, Seth. Cute, sexy, shy Seth was hired to replace Derek. Robby fired Derek when he refused to do what Robby asked him to do, which led to a physical confrontation that some would call a fight. Derek was a big, strong scary dude with a bad attitude. I jumped in the fight and caught at elbow under my eye splitting the skin, and now I have a cool tiny scar to prove it. My friend, Seth Applegate, reminds me very much of Connor; they have quite a few things in common. Both experienced a terrible home life, Seth's was so bad after he came 'out' to his family, he couldn't take their abuse any longer and he left home at seventeen and has been on his own ever since. They're both gay, Connor and Seth, but with little or no gay experiences except the little I provided for them. Money is a major problem for both of them too, and it's the main reason Connor joined the Army. Seth lives in a one room apartment in a bad part of Framingham and his old car is on it's last legs. Connor and Seth are both extremely conscientious and hard working guys. When Seth got laid off from his job in masonry, he immediately got this job. It's surprising he didn't develop a tighter body from all the heavy lifting involved with masonry work, not that he has an unattractive body. It's another thing he has in common with Connor. They both have only minor muscle definition and some baby fat around their waists. I'm probably making it sound worse than it is because they're both basically slim and Seth's biceps are like rocks. It's just that some of my favorite guys, like Chubby, Robby, and even myself, have tight bodies that look good. To me anyway. Maybe it's a 'gene thing that you're born with. In Robby's case he's a hell of an athlete too. I'm really fond of Seth, as I am of Connor, so they have that in common as well. When Connor's on leave from the Army I'm going to try being a matchmaker for these two friends of mine. We'll see how that goes. Ha ha, I remember when Seth showed up for work that first day... he was rocking a faux-hawk haircut. He has pale blond hair that's actually beautiful, beating out Robby and me for first place in that category. I gave Seth a flattop when I got to know him and he's gotten a couple of flattop haircuts from me since then, so he obviously likes the way I cut his hair. It wasn't easy to get to know Seth at first, and that's because of his circumstances. I guess he felt he had to give off this bad-ass attitude when you first meet him, and act defensive as hell so no one thinks of taking advantage of him, but it's all an act. He's as sweet a guy as you ever want to meet, and like I said earlier, he's actually shy. Oh man though, what a cute baby face he has with those dimples of his and his sparkling white teeth, and that blond hair... awesome! He and I mess around in the back of the truck in between jobs like Ryan and I used to do. Seth is a cute, sexy, fun kid and I'm really anxious to see him again. Chubby drives us onto the parking lot of Dicker's Landscape and Design company, bumping over the speed bump and then parking next to Seth's shit-box car. Well I know he's here anyway, which gets me a little excited. We get out and look around at the familiar surroundings. Huh, nothing's changed. Chubby takes our clean uniforms to the locker room, and as I'm putting Chubby's and my lunch in the cooler Seth comes up behind me and squeezes the back of my neck giving me a sexy shiver down my back. I turn around and see him looking at me with shiny eyes and a grin on his lips. He quietly says, "Hi, Dylan, I missed you." I go, "Me too," and give him a hug which he overdoes. Seth's become very affectionate with me lately. He says he loves me more than any person he's ever know, which is flattering as all get out, but it's more a crush than love. It's hard to imagine the standoffish manner he initially demonstrated and then see his true personality which is the opposite of standoffish. He's dressed for work, but comes with me to the locker room so I can change clothes. Inside I greet Jerry with a handshake and one arm hug. He says, "Great tan, Dylan. How was your vacation?" I tell him it was fabulous, because it was. Lee's laughing with Chubby, then he sees me and we do a hand slap and one arm hug with Lee saying, "Oh man, it's sexy, Dylan," and then to Chubby, "Your brother has me considering a change in my sexual orientation." Chubby goes, "Join the club, Billy Lee." They're only messing' with me, but I blush anyway as Seth frowns at Lee, then hands me my work clothes that Chubby had put in my locker. I give Seth a smile as he watches intently while I change. He hangs my street clothes in my locker as I take them off. Very helpful, ya know. We all go out to the blacktop joking around, everyone is in good spirits after our week vacation. Right on time Robby comes out of the supervisors meeting looking bright eyed, cute, and ready to get this show on the road. He walks around shaking each of our hand and patting us on the back saying how glad he is we're back on the job. Then he jokes around saying that while we were on vacation he was busting his ass doing our job. He says it with a grin because we know the supervisors pitch in and help the supervisor who's crew has the week off. Robby says, "Lee has the assignments, so lets get started." we follow Lee to the equipment room where he says, "Large properties today and tomorrow, guys, I'll get the big ride on mower, Jerry's got the walk-behind mower, the big one, Jeffrey, you get the push mover." He looks at the piece of paper in his hand, then says, "Dylan grab the leaf blowers and, Seth, the weed whackers." Everybody gets busy and soon the loud mowers are fired up and we all move out with Seth and me first, then the line of mowers behind us. Ya know what, this is the first day back after vacation, but it's nothing like the first day on the job because now everyone's relaxed knowing exactly what to do and how to operate the equipment. When the weed whackers and leaf blowers are stowed away, Seth and me head back to the equipment room for hedge clippers, the heavy duty grass clipping bags, and a few sets of sound reducing ear pads or earmuffs. All the equipment is cleaned and in great working order, so obviously the supervisors did a damn good job of that last week. Setting an example for us probably. Seth and I get back to the truck and see that the mowers have been loaded and the guys are now having a cigarette, talking, and ragging on each other. It's a pleasure working with all of them. This job is hard work, hot, and sweaty, but fun too. Robby's inside doing something so after we stow the rest of the equipment Seth and I sit at the tailgate, our legs hanging over the edge, and I shake out a cigarette from my box of Marlboros for Seth, who says, "This is number eighteen. Two more and I'll buy you a pack, Dylan, thank you." I hold my lighter to his cigarette staring at his face with his pale blond whiskers here and there... cute! He looks too young to grow whiskers, but I'm glad he can because they're sexy on him. His whiskers aren't course or especially scratchy. They're closer to curly wispy hairs than whiskers. Lee's are regular whiskers as are Terry's and most twenty year old guys. Not so for Chubby, Robby, or me although I see some fine hairs on Robby's upper lip and under his side burns. Jesus, he's so sexy in my mind now, imagine when his whiskers come in. Oh my God! As I'm lighting my cigarette, Seth exhales cigarette smoke, muttering, "Huh, the big mowers are on the truck to start the week." The way he says it so innocent like, makes me laugh and start choking on my inhaled smoke. He's shyly alluding to the fact that with all the mowers loaded Chubby and Jerry can't see us from their side of the truck bed, and we can't see them, although I'm quite sure they aren't doing the sexy messing around Seth and I do when all the mowers are loaded. Seth pats my back, then I ask him, "Do you have something in mind regarding these big mowers?" He grin, nodding his head, then goes, "Un huh," and I run my fingers back through his silky hair knocking his hat off in the process. He grins at me as he rubs under his nose with the back of his index finger like a little kid. Picking up his hat I plop it on his head, saying, "Yeah, I have something in mind too." Robby comes bustling out of the supervisor's lounge laughing about something with two other supervisors. Gee, do you think they have fun like us workers bees do? Robby announces, "Morning break is on me today guys, my treat. We'll hit our favorite Dunkin' Donuts after we finish the first big property. Lets move out." Lee shouts, "Come on guys, get a move on, we have a lot of big properties scheduled for this morning, lets go guys!" That gets everyone climbing onto the truck bed as Chubby asks me, "Do you suppose this is what Connor and Dodger are putting up with? All this shouting about 'moving out' and 'let's move it guys'. I say, "Certainly not, I'm sure the drill sergeants are very polite in the Army, almost like going away to Boy Scout camp." When Seth and I are in out spots and Chubby and Jerry are in there's, Chubby gives the thumbs up to Robby and he starts the truck's motor and immediately the noise makes it difficult to hear someone right next to you. Robby can see Chubby on that side of the truck bed, but not us on this side. Lee, who's Robby's assistant, rides shotgun and he can't see any of us back here. Seth cups my ear with his hand, shouting, "I think you're wrong about drill sergeants, Dylan," then he knocks my hat off rubbing my hair. Putting my hat in my lap, I cup his ear, and shout, "That was a joke, Seth. I know they yell and scream and curse, calling the recruits all kinds of nasty names." He nods his head, like he straightened me out on that. He doesn't 'get' my humor. We're in traffic now and it's very noisy back here. With his lips brushing my ear, Seth yells, "I almost forgot how good you smell." His hand cups the back of my head and he kisses the side of my forehead holding the kiss for a few seconds. Glancing at his lap I see movement in his pants. He asks, "Can I taste your lips?" With his hand still holding the back of my head, I turn to face him and our lips come together, then our tongues. This is a nice way to get from job site to job site. Seth's arms go around my neck and I hold him at the waist as we make out with our heads moving slightly, our lips and tongues very active. I know if it wasn't so noisy back here we'd hear wet sucking sounds and low moans of arousal. Seth's gaining confidence and being more forward then in the early days for us. I'd love to feel his now hard cock up my ass, but neither of us is that reckless. Ryan had me sit on his cock once back here, but I was in a fog of submission in those days. Not with Seth though as he's not dominant, just very sweet and yummy. He's really improved his making-out technique too and my dick gets as hard as his. To verify this I drop a hand down to undo the button on his shorts and slip my hand inside his underpants. Getting a couple of fingers behind his boner and my thumb on top I begin stroking his cook. I can almost hear him squeak. Our mouths are tightly connected, as are our tongues and I soon feel precum drooling down the shaft of his five inch boner. Then his mouth leaves mine and his hand goes to my wrist to stop me from jerking him off. His lips go to my ear again, he gasps, then moans, "Don't, Dylan, I'll cum if you stroke it one more time. Please." I let go and kiss his cheek. Damn he's delicious. For good measure I lick up over his lips and up the front of his nose. His body shudders and then he sits back against the side of the truck bed panting. Licking my fingers I taste his precum and find it has a neutral taste. That brings to mind Junior, from Wildwood, because his cum had the distinct taste of cotton candy. Funny that cum tastes different for each individual, but what a person eats affects the taste of their cum. It's a body secretion as are urine and sweat, to name two. If you eat a lot of spicy food your perspiration can be a stronger smell because of it. Or, if you eat a lot of sweets, like Junior, your cum will be sweeter. Eating things like broccoli or asparagus will have an unpleasant affect on secretions, as everyone knows who's eaten asparagus and later taken a piss. I'm enjoying my boner, but it fading as Seth collects himself, breathing deeply. Then he buttons his shorts while taking one last deep breath and looks over at me with a cute grin on his lips. I grin back, and he leans over to say in my ear, "You're too sexy for an inexperienced guy like me. I'm pretty sure I could get off just smelling you for five minutes." I put my lips on his ear, asking, "Do you wanna try it?" He says to me, with his lips pressed to my ear,causing another sexy shiver to streak down my back, "Just so you know, I'm madly, insanely, and wildly in love with you." I grin at him, then say into his ear, inhaling his boyish, clean scent, "Yeah, I hear that all the time," and he chuckles, then says, "I don't doubt it for a second." That makes me realize, although it hadn't occurred to me before, that there actually have been a number of guys who said they're in love with me this summer. It makes me feel good. Not smug at all, just happy. I love guys around my age and it's so nice they love me too. The problem with sexually inexperienced guys, who I have sex with, is they tend to mistake sexual pleasure for love. I've made that mistake too. Willie comes to mind and I'm realizing I can include Ryan in the mix along with others. I even made that mistake for fleeting moments with basically unlovable Ray. The difference between them and me is... I know what love is. Robby taught me, so eventually I can sort it out. Those who haven't really loved someone yet, cannot tell the difference between loving the sexual pleasure and loving the person providing it. The truck bounces over a curb with us guys back here bumping against each other, and now we've arrived at our first destination of the day. The truck motor dies and it seem deadly silence for a few second before I detect the normal sounds of suburbia. This first property of the day is one of the biggest ones we service. Lee and Robby come around to the back of the truck and let the tailgate down. Jerry slides the ramp for the mowers to the ground as Seth and I grab the weed whackers and hedge clippers. We jump off the truck with Lee coming up the ramp for the ride on mower. Robby reminds us, "Dylan you've got the hedges and Seth the weed whacking duty." As we're walking away I hear Robby reminding each of the other guys what their responsibilities are for this job. All I know is I'll have to work fast if I'm to finish trimming all these hedges by the time everything else is done. I get right to work and hear the mowers firing up and then it's just noise. It's a good thing Seth's got all those muscles in his arms because holding that industrial weed whacker just barely off the ground really gives your arms a workout after awhile. It's early in the morning and I can only hope the homeowners are awake because ,if not, they are now. It's not oppressively hot yet, but it will be shortly on this humid day in August. Twenty minutes later the leaf blowers start up and I glance over seeing Robby and Chubby working them. Ah, Robby and Chubby, my two favorite guys in the world. Seth's still edging around the lawn and shrubbery patches, but it's beginning tfo looks like I'm going to be holding everyone up because I've still got a lot of hedges to trim. Then fast working Jerry is done his assignment and he's got the other hedge trimmer and he's working his way towards me. I'm no weakling by a long shot, but I'm not in Jerry's class. He does everything effortlessly and fast too. Good ole Jerry, who I was worried wouldn't work out, is now the best worker on our crew. I was worried he'd be an asshole and either get asked to leave or quit, which would have looked bad for Robby due to the high turnover on our crew early in the summer. Finished the first property, the mowers are being loaded onto the truck, as Chubby says to me, "Kinda hard getting back in the swing of things after lounging around on the beach all week." I go, "Yeah, I know what you mean, bro. Let's win the lottery and leave the working world behind." Chubby goes, "Best to buy two 'Lucky For Life' lottery ticket because the odds for winning are thirteen million, eight hundred thousand to one." I go, "In that case I'm buying three tickets." He squeezes my hand, saying, "You're almost guaranteed to win with three tickets." We grin at each other with Chubby mumbling, "Yeah, we're gonna be rich." When everyone is back on the truck, Chubby gives the thumbs up to Robby and the truck lurches forward and we're on the road again. The breeze back here feels refreshing as it dries our perspiring faces. Seth takes my hand and holds it on his lap. He's getting friskier and friskier. I give him a funny look and he squeezes my hand, then lifts it to his lips and kisses the back of it. It's nice being adored. True to his word, Robby drives us to our favorite Dunkin' Donuts and we jump off the truck and follow him inside. Seth bumps against my side as we walk, so Lee says to Chubby, "Aww, ain't they cute together," meaning Seth and me, then he asks, "Hey, Seth, did Dylan convert you to his team?" Seth goes, "Nope," which is accurate because he was gay before I met him, but I'm sure Lee took it to mean Seth isn't gay. Inside we all get drinks, mostly iced drinks, plus our choice of breakfast sandwich. Robby pays for it and we all mutter, "Thanks, boss," and then pull two tables together so we can all fit everyone around them. Lee, always the entertainer, has a joke for us. He says, "There's this guy driving down a highway in Alaska. It's freezing cold, of course, and his car just stops so he calls road service and a mechanic comes out to help. The mechanic opens the hood and checks things out, then looks at the man, who's freezing his ass off watching the mechanic, 'Jeez, pal, it looks like you've blown a seal,' and the man says, 'Nah, it's just frost on my mustache.'" The punch line hits just as Seth's about to swallow his iced coffee, and he tries laughing and swallowing at the same time, with unfortunate results. The iced coffee ends up in his sinuses and he blows iced coffee out both nostrils. That gets a bigger laugh then the joke. It's funny to us, but a little painful for Seth. We pat his back as he coughs with his eyes watering. I've seen this happen before, and it's impossible not to laugh no matter how fond you are of the victim. A couple of times I've inhaled cum and blown that out of my nose, but never a drink. When Seth's recovered, Lee says, "Here's an example of pure confusion. Twenty blind naked lesbians in a fish market." We groan at that, and now Robby joins in. He goes, "Superman and Spiderman are at a bar, but Superman seems depressed. He explains to Spiderman that he hasn't gotten laid in weeks. Spiderman tells him that a little while ago, when he was swinging by Wonder Woman place, he noticed her laying in bed naked with her legs spread. He suggests Superman fly over at the speed of light, give her a good fucking and get out before she even knows what happened. Well, Superman takes off and flies to Wonder Woman's place and finds she's still there on the bed sort of squirming and moaning with her legs spread and her knees in the air. Perfect, so he swoops in and really goes at it until he gets his rocks off, and then flies away. Wonder woman asks, 'What was that?' The Invisible man says, 'I don't know, but my ass is in pieces.' We get a good laugh out of that, with Chubby muttering, "Ya gotta love when the super heroes get laid." Lee's got another one. He goes, "A dwarf with a pronounced lisp visits a stud farm to buy a female 'horth'." And Lee does the perfect lisp saying horse as horth. He says, "The farmer shows him a mare and the dwarf lisps, 'Can I thee her eyeth?' The farmer picks up the dwarf so he can look at the horses eyes, then sets him on the ground. The dwarf says, 'Nithe eyeth. Let me see her eerth now'. The farmer rolls his eyes and picks the dwarf up again. The dwarf nods his head in approval so the farmer put him down, as the dwarf is saying, 'Now I want to see her twot." The farmer's pissed off by now, so he roughly picks up the dwarf by the scruff of the neck and shoves the dwarf's head deep in under the mare's tail, and holds it there awhile. Then sets the dwarf down hard. The dwarf's wiping his face with his sleeve. Then he says, 'I guess I need to weefwaze that. Can I see her wun around." It takes a second to let it sink in, and them we get twot and trot. It's worth a good laugh thinking about the dwarf's head in the mare's twot, ha ha. Chubby goes, "Here's a good one in honor of Robby and Dylan. Two gay men decide to have a baby. They whack off together and combine their sperm for artificial insemination into a surrogate mother. Nine months later the two gay men rush to the hospital to see their baby. Behind the glass of the nursery they see a dozen newborns crying and carrying on, but one newborn in the corner is smiling serenely. A nurse comes by and the gays are delighted to discover the happy baby is theirs. One of the gays says, 'Isn't it wonderful that our baby is so happy in there.' The nurse says, 'Yeah, he's happy now, but just wait until you see the fuss he makes when we take the pacifier out of his ass!'" We scream with laughter getting everyone in the restaurant's looking at us. Lee goes, "Can you believe we also get paid for this. Free breakfast and all the yuck's we can handle, and we get paid for it." After morning break the weather turns really hot so there's not as much wisecracking between the guys as there normally is. In between jobs Seth and I don't even mess around in the truck bed. It's too hot. We have lunch outside under the shade of a huge tree and a breeze picks up improving everyone's mood. As we eat, the jokes start up again. Chubby goes, "There's this truck driver who picks-up a hitchhiker. They're having a nice conversation and after awhile the truck driver says he want to show the hitchhiker something really cool. He pulls over to the side of the road and reaches back to let a monkey out of it's cage. He slap the monkey's face hard. The monkey blinks, then pulls down the truck driver's fly and blows him. The truck driver asks the hitchhiker if he'd like a little of this action. The hitchhiker goes, 'Yeah, definitely, but please don't slap me as hard as you did the monkey'. The laughing gets us in a good mood again and Lee jumps in with this. "Bubba dies in a fire and he's so badly burned the undertaker calls for Bubba's two best friends to see it they can positively identify the body. The first guy looks at him, then says, 'Turn him over,' so the undertaker turns the body over and Bubba's buddy shakes his head, indicating it's not Bubba. The undertaker calls in the other friend to be sure. This second guy asks him to turn the body over, then says it's not Bubba. The undertaker asks them why they both wanted to see the backside of the corpse. One of the guys says, 'Everybody in town knows that Bubba's got two asshole's,and this poor bastard has only one.' The other guys says, "Yep, everyone in town when they see us coming says, oh God, here comes Bubba with his two asshole's." We get a good laugh and Chubby, not to be outdone, says, "Speaking of Bubba. On his first day in his new school up north the teacher ask each child to count as high as they can. Most kids got to twenty, but Bubba makes it to thirty-three before forgetting what comes next. He ran home after school real proud of himself. His dad said he could count better than the other kids because he's from Georgia in the south. The next day the teacher asks the kids to recite the alphabet and most could only remember up to the letter 'G', but Bubba recited up to the letter 'M', then thought the letter 'X' came after 'M'. But still, he was the best in the class and his dad claimed Bubba was the best third grader in the school because he's from Georgia. As the days went by Bubba had a fight with the redheaded kid that sat in front of him, that he barely won, plus Bubba was the only one in the class who knew the nation's capitol was Washington, DC. His dad said it's because he's from Georgia. Bubba also loved to watch the other boys peeing and after awhile it occurred to him that his dick is bigger than anyone else's. He ran home and proudly announced that because he's from Georgia he has the biggest dick in his class. His dad says, no that's not the reason this time, Bubba. It's because you're eighteen years old." When guys are telling jokes it gets everyone laughing because you get in that frame of mind, and sometimes it reminds you of a joke. That happened to me, so when the laughing subsided about the eighteen year old third grader from Georgia, I told one I remember Connor telling me. Holding up my hand, I say, "It's my turn...Two foreign nuns were visiting America for the first time. One nun told the other that Americans eat dogs. Mother superior decided that when in America eat like an American, so when they come upon a hot dog vendor on the street, they take a deep breath and ordered a dog each. The vendor wraps each hot dog in a bun with foil and hands them to the nuns. They take them, with their hearts pounding, over to sit on a bench. Mother superior wants to set an example so she unwrapped her's first, and immediately blushes, rewrapping her hot dog. She tells the other nun, 'Unwrap it slowly and see what part of the dog you got.'" Some groans at the joke, except for Seth who laughed, explaining to the guys, "Don't you get it? She thought it was the dog's cock," which got a bigger laugh than the joke because of course everyone 'got it', it just wasn't that funny to them. Chubby says, "That's the kind of joke you can tell in mixed company, except you wouldn't use the word 'cock' like Seth did. I say, "I got another groaner for ya. Two old ladies waiting for a bus had just lit their cigarettes when it started to rain. One lady pulls a condom from her purse and sticks the cigarette in it so it won't get wet. The other old lady thinks it's a good idea so she asks what that thing is and learns it's a condom, and you can buy them at a pharmacy. The next day she goes into her neighbor pharmacy and asks for condoms. The salesclerk asks what size, and the woman says, 'Oh, I'm not sure, but big enough for a camel anyway.'" More groans including from Seth. Some guys can tell jokes and always gets laughs, but I'm not one of them. All afternoon we're sweating through one of the hottest days of the summer, but guys burst out laughing from time to time thinking back on one of the jokes they heard today. My favorite is the gay's baby with a pacifier in his ass. Jokes are best when the punch line comes at you totally unexpected. Even with the laughing everyone is working hard, but we don't finish until after five o'clock, when most days we're done at least an hour earlier. Riding in the back of the truck on the way back to the shop I'm looking at Seth's face. There are tiny bubbles of sweat all over his cute face and he looks so sexy, especially the small droplets of sweat captured in his sparse whiskers. My face is covered in sweat too and I get an irresistible urge to blend our sweat while kissing. My arm goes around his neck to bring his head to mine for a hug. Seth grins and puts his arm around my waist for a tight hug and then I move our heads so we're facing and then kiss him on the lips. We get into a hot and heavy make-out, our sweaty faces moving against one another. It's awesomely sexy and my cock gets so fucking hard the foreskin's stretching almost painfully, and my boner's vibrating in my shorts. Seth's moaning constantly although I can barely hear him over the noise of the truck's engine and traffic noise. Our tongues slide together sexily as Seth moves a knee to the other side of me and sits on my lap with our chests tightly together and us kissing like there's no tomorrow. He begins humping his groin against mine and I feel his hard boner poking mine. My hand is ruffling the damp hairs at the back of his head as our lips suck together and our tongues never stop moving against one another. He gasps, humping into me hard, then another hump as his face leaves mine to lay his forehead on my shoulder as he fills his underpants with cum. A year ago it would have been me climaxing into my jockey shorts, and if we made-out for another couple of minutes I'd have done it here with Seth. He snuggles in against me, his sweaty body plastered to mine, and I dream of us being naked like this, sweaty and naked with Seth on my lap and our cocks against one another. Seth's still hugging me around the neck and I feel so much affection for him it almost scares me. It's a sweet form of affection like I never feel when I'm with a dominant sex partner. I kiss his cheek and squeeze the back of his neck, then kiss his sweating forehead while my boner's still percolates with sexy sensations, vibrating in my pants. Putting my lips on his ear I ask if he can come over tonight, but he shakes his head 'no'. Then he lifts his head and says in my ear, "I got a part time job last week during vacation. The painting job didn't work out so I applied at Whole Foods and got a job as a bagger. I'm sorry, I'd love to come over your place tonight, Dylan, you know that, but I need the money." I tell him I understand, and he licks my ear, then says, "I love you, Dylan. I just had one of the best orgasms of my life, and it was just from making out with you." Then he kisses me and nestles his face against the side of mine. His body is so docile against me it almost feels that I'm wearing him like a heavy sweatshirt. He stays like this until the trunk does it's familiar jolt as it goes over the speed bump entering the parking lot of Dickers Landscaping and Design company. Seth reluctantly gets off my lap and sits as close as he can right next to me. I'm looking at him and it makes Seth smile and grab my hand to hold. Damn, what a sweet guy! The tailgate comes down and we enter the real world again. When Seth stands up I see the big wet cum stain near the zipper of his shorts, and tell him, "Pull your t-shirt out, Seth." He looks down, blushes, and then covers the cum stain with his t-shirt. Everyone is glad this day is over, but we still take the time to conscientiously clean the equipment before putting it away. Then Robby praises the job we did today, complimenting each of us individually. After changing back into street clothes in the locker there are pats on the back all the way around saying our goodbyes until tomorrow. You can just sense the esprit de corps within our group and it's a really nice feeling. I'm driving Chubby and me home with him bitching about needing to work tonight, claiming he's beat after our tough day in the intense heat. Then without me mentioning it Chubby repeats my feeling about how the crew has grown tight and how it's like none of us wants to let the other guys down, so we all try outworking each other. We both feel Robby deserves a lot of the credit for the crews positive attitude and I feel so proud of him I want to brag, 'Yeah, and he's my boyfriend, ya know', but I don't do that because Chubby knows Robby and I are in love... there's no need to brag about the obvious. That we're in love is an accepted fact by everyone who knows robby and me well. I drop Chubby off and then drive to the delicatessen to buy tomorrow's lunch for Chubby and me. Walking from the Jeep to the deli I remember Travis Pickles works here. The reason I came here and not Stop & Shop is the deli's closer to my condo. In the bakery section I pick up a couple of long sub rolls and two plastic containers of quarter sections of freshly baked blueberry pies for tomorrows dessert. Then at the deli counter Travis smiles and says, "Hi, good looking, what can I do for you?" Well, I don't really think he'd do what I'd like to tell him to do for me, so I say instead, "Hi Travis, um, I'd like three-quaters of a pound of thinly sliced smoked turkey breast." He says, "I'll open a fresh one for you, Dylan. You look like you've been working hard today. Did our boy, Rob, overwork you guys today?" As Travis is taking the wrapping off a fresh smoked turkey breast, I say, "Robby works as hard as any of us, so no, he doesn't overwork us." Travis looks up, and says, "I'd be surprised if he did. I love that guy to death," and hearing anyone but me say that has me so pissed off I can't see straight. To be fair, Travis didn't say it in a taunting way. It was more of a casual comment and why wouldn't Travis love Robby? Travis slices the turkey breast awesomely thin, just the way I like it, and a lot better than I can usually get the deli guys at Stop & Shop to slice cold cuts for me. On the other hand, it's more expensive here, but worth it. Travis wraps the turkey in butcher paper and while handing it to me, he says, "If I could steal Robby out from under you, Dylan, I would. You don't need to be concerned though because he's made it very clear from the start it's you he's madly in love with. Other than your sexy good looks, what's your secret?" I shake my head, muttering, "I don't know, Travis, I really don't, but I'm grateful for whatever it is." He nods his head in a resigned manner. I thank him for doing an awesome job slicing the turkey, then at the register I realize what a big deal it is that Travis mentioned Robby being madly in love with me. He acknowledged to his rival he doesn't have a chance and that tells me I'm not the only one Robby's told he's madly in love with me. He apparently tells anyone who wants to know. I hope he remembers to tell the best pitcher the town of Framingham ever's produced. Back at my air conditioned condo I take a much needed shower, and as great as that shower felt after the heat and hard work today, it doesn't compare to how great I feel about my brief exchange with Robby's side-sex boy. He could have another side sex buddy too for all I know, but if there's another I'll bet Robby clarified my position in Robby's life right from the start with whoever it is... I'm number one, dude, and you're not and you never will be as far as my true love boyfriend is concerned. It's okay to gloat to myself, but it would have been wrong to gloat to Travis. That's not my style normally and I'm glad I didn't do that. Damn, I'd sure like to be with Robby tonight, but he told me at lunch he had something he had to do tonight and I didn't pry. It's probably work related as his dad wants him included in all the business meetings and such, but if it's another side sex thing I'm okay with it now. Robby's explanation last night about how he accepts me as I am, that set an example for me to feel the same about him. We just turned twenty, and that's young in the big scheme of things, so we have time to get everything out of our system before committing exclusively to each other. To pass the time, I'm on my computer emailing Connor and Dodger when a text comes through on my iPhone. It's from Chubby about tonight's dinner. I thought he was going right to work after his shower, but that's not the case. He's fixing our dinner and I'm to go up to his place. I text back I'll be there in twenty minutes, and then finish my emails. When I let myself in Chubby's condo, I find him drinking a beer while stirring his homemade marinara sauce. I give him a hug and a kiss on his cheek. He says, "You know, Dylan, I love being loved by you. What would I do without my awesome brother?" Running my fingers through his short hair, I mutter, "You'd be a shrinking wallflower without awesome me. Actually you wouldn't be that at all, but you and me have definitely influenced each other in more ways than we probably realize. In case I haven't mentioned it, you're the single most important person in my life and I love you in many ways and in ways I love no one else." Jeez, I didn't mean to get so maudlin... it makes my eyes water. Chubby nods his head, then says, a little choked-up, "Thanks, Dylan, I know that comes from your heart and I pray you understand I feel the same way about you. I just don't have the balls to express myself as openly as you do." I squeeze the back of his neck, muttering, "I know how you feel about me from your actions, which speak louder than my words ever could." He looks at me, "Are you trying to get me to cry?" I say, "Yes, I am," and he says, "Well you're doing a damn good job of it. Get yourself a beer and don't say any anything else or there'll be tears in this fucking sauce." Huh, this is turning into a feel good day all the way around for me. First with the guys at work, then hearing confirmation from an unlikely source that Robby loves me wildly, and now with my brother. Damn, I feel good. Chubby has Italian sweet sausages on the grill, and a salad in the refrigerator to go with his delicious pasta dish. He could always make a better pasta sauce than me. We have two beers and finish off the second one on the balcony after dinner while we share a cigarette. No more maudlin talk, instead we discuss Merrimack and our upcoming sophomore year. Basically we're both committing to pay more attention to school work this coming year and less partying. We both agree that's our goal, but neither of us seriously thinks that we'll carry through with it. We've always done well enough in school, but it's never required us sacrificing having a good time. We balance the two with the edge going to good times because we don't see how getting 'A's and 'B's will benefit our lives significantly over getting 'B's and 'C's and having a little more fun while we're doing it. What the fuck, we're not going to be doctors or scientist, so what's the big deal? Chubby and I hug goodbye for now and he leaves for a few hours of work. I go to my condo realizing I have nothing in the way of a date. Hey, wait a minute, I probably could use a night off, but I call Sonny anyway because I just remembered he's due for a haircut tonight. Hot shit, that could lead to some hot sex. Devon answers and I learn he and Sonny need to go with their parents. They're shopping for school clothes... oh brother! Their parents need to go with them? Wow, that's something Chubby and I haven't needed since we were twelve years old. Well, I guess it's whatever you're used to. Sonny gets on the phone and reschedules his haircut for tomorrow night. He says he'll avoid Ray until then because he's worried he'll get suspended. He was suppose to get his haircut Saturday, and rescheduled it for tonight, and now he's changing that to tomorrow. I wish him luck and figure I'm in for the night. I don't want to call Bean because it's a little awkward. At the softball game he asked me if I'd blow him. That'd be kind of fun actually, and I like Bean a lot, but I don't want him to feel like I'm desperate to suck him off because I'm not. Calling Ray isn't even a consideration, and any of the other posse boys would want to go to Sunnydales or something, which I don't feel like doing tonight. This would be a good time for giving some of the other posse boys haircuts, but Sonny was the only one scheduled for tonight. The shampooing and haircutting is fun. Okay, it's officially a night off for me. I'm restless though so I do my chores, cleaning my bathroom and bedroom. No fun, but I feel good about it when it's done. As for sex, there's always tomorrow. to be continue...
