Nailed It: Chapter 75 New Chapters Part 1

Clay spent the first hour of the ride home rambling about how he thought
the Stallions had performed during the Bowl Game. He started yawning as his
adrenalin levels returned to normal. He leaned his seat back a bit as his
eye lids grew heavy and fell asleep. Sean switched the music to some smooth
jazz by Foreplay and let the quarterback rest. Farm Boy slept the rest of
the way back to Christmas rousing only as the noise of the garage door
opening startled him.

"Sorry Chief, I didn't realize how tired I was."

Sean patted his lover's thigh. "You must have needed it. Let's get inside
we can unpack in the morning." Walls hit the control button closing the
garage door as they exited the side door to the house. Reed opened the door
and entered the security code. Sean was right behind him. They locked up
again and armed the house in "Stay" mode and made their way through the
family room and dining room to their bedroom.

"It doesn't feel like home yet,' Farm Boy noted as he stripped from his
clothing. He scratched his balls and headed to the bathroom. Chief heard
the heavy stream of piss hitting the water in the toilet bowl as he too
stripped and crawled into the bed they had so recently bought along with
the house. Clay joined him and spooned back into his fiancé's
torso. Sean placed his right arm and leg over his boy and the two fell
asleep.

Reed's alarm woke him at 5 AM. He silenced it and rose from the bed as
quietly as he could after he wiggled out from under Sean's protective arm
and leg. He padded through the house imagining how it would look in just a
few hours filled with family and friends and their meager furniture mixed
in with the pieces the previous owners had left behind. Arriving in the
kitchen he started fixing coffee for himself. He sat at the breakfast table
and stared out into the darkness outside. "I guess I need to work out a
running course sometime this week. I should look for those wrist lights
that Mom bought me for running in the dark so cars could see me." He
finished his coffee and went into the pantry. He found the black garbage
bags and took three of them with him and headed back through the house to
the stairs. He climbed up and entered the first bedroom. It was decorated
in shades of purple. The silk and plastic flower arrangements contained
lilacs, irises and some other purple colored flower he didn't recognize. He
threw them into the first garage bag. As he grabbed the garland over the
window he was hit in the face by a rain of dust. He dropped the garland and
bag as he sneezed and rubbed the dust from his face. His sneezing continued
as he rushed to the bathroom to wash off his face. He noticed for the first
time that even the towels were purple. "These guys were real matchy, matchy
with everything," he thought as he dried his face. He used one of the
towels as a face mask as he removed the second garland before throwing them
both into the bag. The second bedroom was done in shades of blue. Its
flowers and garlands soon joined the purple ones in the trash bag. He
grabbed the last bunch of flowers on the way back to the door and a small
camera fell to the floor. "Damn! Eduardo did have the place wired," he
thought to himself. He explored the room further and found 3 more concealed
to give various views of the bed. He tossed them into the trash as
well. Clay dropped the full bag over the railing to the entrance hall.

The next bedroom was done in green. There were ferns everywhere. He made
short work of gathering them up before moving onto the fourth bedroom which
was done in shades of yellow. It reminded Clay he had to piss again so he
took a moment to empty is bladder in the yellow tiled bathroom. He was glad
he was using a towel for a dust mask. This room hadn't been used in quite a
while as he could see dust on the bed spread. He finished filling the
garbage bag and walked back to drop it over the banister and get his third
bag. Returning to the yellow room he completed stripping it of sunflowers
and chrysanthemums. The final bedroom was done in orange. He hadn't paid
much attention to it when he and Sean and had make-up sex in it. Robert and
Lawrence went all out in this room with miniature orange trees in corners,
pumpkins were stacked in various places and the garland had miniature
jack-o-lanterns on them. "Must have decorated at Halloween and forgot to
take them down," the quarterback thought. The bag was half full but it
joined the others going over the banister to the entrance hall below. Reed
grabbed the two fake trees and hauled those downstairs himself. He
deposited them with the bags of flowers before heading into the kitchen to
wash up and fix Sean's coffee.

In the kitchen he saw that it was 6:45 so he worked quickly to have the
coffee ready and started planning breakfast. He quietly placed the coffee
on Sean's bedside table and retreated to the kitchen. He grabbed an iron
skillet, butter eggs, diced ham and chopped onion from the freezer. He
melted the butter and sautéed the onions before adding the ham. He
whipped together the eggs and a 1/4 cup of milk. He checked the fridge and
found a small package of shredded cheddar cheese. He poured the egg mixture
into the skillet and sprinkled the cheese around the top of the
skillet. Turning off the burner he popped the skillet into the oven and set
it for 400 degrees for 20 minutes. He headed back to the bedroom where he
found Sean sipping his coffee while seated on the side of the bed.

"Morning Chief," Clay called as he entered the bedroom. "Breakfast will be
ready in under 20 minutes." Farm Boy kissed the top of his Chief's head and
headed for the outdoor shower. He started the water before pissing into the
drain.

"You're wasting it," Sean commented as he entered the rock line shower
area. "If you're going to piss in a shower at least direct it onto
someone." He aimed his penis at Farm Boy's and let his morning piss stream
onto Clay's slab of meat. The start of the Chief's flow brought Farm Boy's
cock to attention within seconds. He had never been able to piss through a
hard on but he tried anyway.

"Damn I wish we had time to play this morning, but breakfast is in the oven
and we have places to be and things to do." He grabbed the soap and started
washing himself. Sean joined in.

Chief asked, "Would you wash my back please?"

"Of course and then you can do mine." The two attended to each other, then
rinsed off. They toweled off, hung towels on the towel bar and headed naked
to the kitchen.

They worked together to set the table. Sean poured juice and brewed more
coffee for them. Clay removed the fritatta from the oven and cut it in
quarters. He plated a quarter for each of them and brought them to the
table. Walls brought over the flatware and they began breakfast.

"I deflowered the upstairs," he giggled. "The place is dusty as all get
out. You'll never guess what I found in the bedroom at the head of the
stairs."

"The cameras we thought he put there. Good pun by the way."

"Damn you guessed!" Reed smiled. "I threw them in the trash." He'll make
enough off us to buy new ones." The two laughed. "Chief, all of those
bedrooms are color coordinated and dusty as all get out. You don't notice
it so much in the dark colored rooms but the yellow room you can see it
laying on the bed spread. Since we have so many people coming to stay this
week perhaps when you get back here you can get them stripped and start
laundry.

"The fritatta is very good Clay. I would say perhaps a little pepper or
poultry seasoning next time but it hits the spot. Yeah I can get laundry
going or put some of my family on it." Clay nodded as he chewed. "What time
are you sisters expected?"

Swallowing, Reed answered, "Mary Liz and Hannah are due round 11. Mom and
RJ should be here by 1. Guess we should order pizzas for lunch. How many
are we feeding?"

Sean started adding things up in his head, " 2 + 8 + 10 +2 + 4=26
people. so 7 or 8 pizzas. Did they leave any beer or sodas?"

Clay checked the cooler rack in the island, "Two bottles of wine and a few
cokes and a sprite in here."

Sean had gone to the pantry, "Nada. Looks like a Publix run this
morning. So let's get dressed and head to pick up the U-Haul. See if the
truck is ready early. You can head to the apartment without me. I'll head
to Publix and buy food for today as well as sodas and frozen pizzas. We'll
just cook them here since I don't know who delivers out here." The two met
in the kitchen and kissed; Clay pushing his tongue into his Sir's
mouth. "Whoa tiger, remember we don't have time at the moment, but tonight,
if you're not too tired, we can play in our new passion pit."

Clay roared like a tiger. "I'm always ready for you Sir."

The two headed off to the bedroom to dress. Sean came back to the kitchen
first. He cleared the dishes and put the remaining fritatta into containers
and into the fridge. He started the dishwasher. As he finished wiping down
the counter and stove Clay came out dressed to go.

"Farm Boy, where is everybody from your family sleeping tonight?"

"You and your good questions! Well I thought if that Swedish guy comes up
we'd put him on the couch in the den. By the way, I think that our couch
will fit in there. Not sure about the love seat. If he doesn't come RJ
would enjoy it. I think Mom and Dad in Purple, Grandma Reed in Blue,
without the cameras, Hannah and Mary Liz in the Green room.That leaves two
rooms left over for surprises."

Well I like the idea of the Swedish guy in the den. Let's keep one bedroom
for your grandparents and the other for your Uncle and Aunt. RJ can always
sleep on the floor in your folks' room or in the family room. Maybe he'll
catch Santa Claus sneaking down the chimney." They laughed together at the
joke. Clay grabbed his wallet and the keys to the apartment and Sean
grabbed his wallet and keys to his car.

"Fuck we didn't unpack last night."

"It won't take that long. Come on. They headed to the garage. Sean unlocked
the door and opened the garage door behind his car. He popped the trunk and
Clay grabbed the two suitcases. Sean grabbed the dirty clothes bags and the
two back packs. Farm Boy had taken suitcases to their bedroom. Sean dropped
the backpacks in the kitchen and hauled their dirty clothes to the
laundry. He quickly sorted them and threw a load of whites into the washing
machine. He found All detergent packets and added two as well as softener
and started the washer. When he came out he noted Clay had grabbed the
backpacks and taken them to the bedroom as well. He grabbed a bottle of
water for each of them from the cooler tossing Clay's to him when he
returned. They armed the house, locked the door and headed out for
Crenshaw's on Colonial Drive to pick up their U-Haul.

"It's going to take some getting adjusted to living out here Chief. I know
I'm from the country and all, but damn, at least Arcadia was the County
Seat. I've gotten use to stopping at a 7/11 or a Wawa or having a
restaurant close by."

"We knew this place was way out there. We can enjoy our privacy and our
house rules without prying eyes. I can even start my business a little
early after we get the office set up. Oh we're here. That was what 15 or 20
minutes?"

Clay shrugged, "I wasn't keeping track."

They pulled into a low building painted white on the upper half and green
on the lower. Crenshaw's Automotive was painted on a green sign over the
door. They had three mechanic bays for car repairs. The couple got out of
the car and walked into the shop. An older man sat at a desk behind the
counter going over some paperwork.

"Can I he'p y'all?" he inquired without looking up.

"Yes Sir we made reservation on a U-Haul for this morning at 9. We were
wondering if we could get it earlier." Sean replied.

`The older man stood. He was taller than he looked crunched behind the
desk. He stood at least 6 feet tall with a military buzz haircut and had
piercing green eyes. His beard was scruffy. His frame was wiry and he had a
bit of a beer belly. He extended a rough looking hand towards them. "I'm
Wally Crenshaw. I own this here place. You Mr. Walls?"

"Yes Sir and this is Clayton Reed..."

"The Stallion quarterback! Mighty pleased to make your acquaintance young
man. That was some fine work you did yesterday! What ya need the truck for
boys?"

"We bought Oak Haven," Clay replied. We're moving in today."

"Oak Haven! You don't say! Well that is one of the finest old places we
have round these parts. Courtney, get your lazy ass out here and meet some
new neighbor folk." A younger version of Wally walked in from the mechanic
bays wiping his hands on a grease rag. He extended his freshly wiped hand
towards the two men and shook hands. "They be moving into Oak Haven
today. Is that big U-Haul ready to go?"

"Yes Sir Pa. I checked her over this morning. Who's going to inspect it
with me?"

"Since I'll be driving it I'll go with you," Clay offered and the two went
off outside.

"You must be the guy he's marrying. I saw you on the stage with him and he
mentioned you at his news meeting. We didn't use to cotton fags out here
but times is a changin and ya gots to go with the times. I hope I didn't
`fend ya using the term fag."

"Wally I've been called a hell of lot worse. What all do you need from us
today."

"Well let me see here. You done paid up front for 2 days, with a dolly, 10
covers and the insurance. I see Mr. Reed's info here but I needs to see his
driver's license. So while we're awaitin what brought you way out here to
Oak Haven?

"We were looking for a place and it was a good deal. When was the last time
you saw the place?"

"Oh must a been 20 years now. The going away party for the owners who sold
off to those other f,," he stopped himself, "gay couple."

Sean smiled, "I understand Wally. Thanks for making the effort there.'
Wally nodded as Sean continued. "Well I guess we should have a house
warming so people can see it again after we fix it up. Is your son a good
mechanic?"

"One of the best out here. We are reasonably priced too. We usually keep
two bays going easily every day but Sunday. We're not big church people but
out here you gotta judge the winds if you know what I mean. We're just
doing paperwork and the U-Haul rentals today and cleaning up a bit."

"Well I don't want to have to run into Winter Park every time I need an oil
change or a tune up and I'll gladly bring my business to you."

"Thank you boy. Right nice of you to say. Here's a business card and a
magnet with our number on it." Clay and Courtney returned. "And now young
fella I needs to see your driver's license and you'll be all set."

Clay produced his license and signed the rental form. Wally handed him the
key. "Drive safe young man. We'll see you back here Tuesday by 10."

"Yes Sir, I'll be safe. Thank you." Farm Boy and Chief headed outside. They
hugged and kissed and parted ways for their separate errands.

Sean headed to the Publix at Corner Lakes Plaza on Colonial. Clay followed
him in the U-Haul until Walls pulled into the plaza. Reed continued on to
the apartment. Usually Sean planned his shopping trips but today he just
walked the aisles. He was looking for BOGO deals for which Public is
famous. He didn't purchase things they wouldn't eat but did select quite a
bit noting they'd get to it eventually and now that they had the upright
freezer in the pantry he could stock up on things a bit more. When he got
to the beer and wine aisle he grabbed several 12 packs of Coors and
Heineken. He loaded up on sodas as well. He was really glad to see that
they had pizzas on BOGO. He selected the 8 he was planning on for today
plus 8 more. He bought 2 gallons of milk and 2 flats of eggs before heading
to checkout.

At the checkout counter the cashier, Wanda, gave him the once over. "I
don't recall seeing you here before. Are you new to the area?" she asked
politely.

"Yes Ma'am, I'm one of the new owners of Oak Haven in Christmas." he
replied while entering his info and card into the POS machine.

"Welcome to East Orange County young man. I hope you're happy in your new
home." She continued to look Sean over as she scanned his purchases. He
spent a little over $300 on groceries. Pete, the bag boy, helped him out
with the grocery cart and loaded everything into the trunk.

Walls pulled into Oak Haven at 9:55 and was surprised to find the wall of
Walls already there and looking over the exterior of the property. As he
got out of the car he was surrounded, by his family, hugging, kissing and
congratulating him on his new home. He was really surprised when Ethel and
her husband and son popped around the corner.

After greeting him, Ethel got things in motion. "Enough gabbing, we have
groceries to move." Everyone grabbed a bag or two and Sean led the way to
the kitchen door. He unlocked it and entered the security code and everyone
piled in. "First things first, let's get these things put away. Andreas,
where do things belong?"

"Miss Ethel, it's all so new. The pantry and upright freezer are over there
as is the laundry. I set my kitchen at the apartment up pretty much like it
is at home so I'll trust your judgment. In fact after the tour, I'll put
you in charge of cleaning and organizing the kitchen. I need to put the
whites in the dryer and start a load of colors. Be right back."

Ethel looked things over and started giving orders, Within minutes the
frozen items were stored in the freezer and refrigerated items were in
either the cooler, as the case with wine, beer and sodas ,or in the main
fridge.

Sean returned and began the tour. He took them through the family room and
into the dining room. Then they progressed to the master bedroom before
reemerging into the hallway to the living room and into the entrance
hall. He showed them the powder room and the den. Then they climbed the
stairs and looked into each of the bedrooms and baths. He referenced the
attic entrance but no one wanted to venture there.

"What do you want us to do Andreas?" his father asked.

"Well I don't want the pregnant ladies doing anything heavy. When Clay was
up here this morning collecting silk flower and garlands he mentioned how
dusty the place is. So if you could pair off and each take a bedroom and
bath and bring all the linens down to the laundry I'll get those going. I'm
not sure what is in the linen closet. He opened the door to it, but feel
free to check, I'm not sure where the vacuum cleaner is located."

Xander piped up, "There's one here in the back of the linen closet. Andreas
look at this a moment. Were you aware of the hardwood floors?" Everyone
looked at where Xander was pointing. The linen closet floor looked like
tongue and groove hardwood." Andreas felt the thrill of discovery course
through him. He had never considered the possibility of a hardwood
floor. Andreas and the Rices went downstairs and the family paired
off. Xander and Nicholas took the purple room, Andreas' parents took the
blue room, and David and Richard took the green room. Isabella, Crystal,
Nicole and Helena started stripping the beddings and towels, as well as
dusting the first three bedrooms. There were dust rags and cleaning
supplies in the linen closet as well. Xander vacuumed first then passed it
on to his parents.

Downstairs Ethel had marshaled her husband and son and they were busy
pulling things out of the cabinets and wiping things down before putting
things back so that the kitchen would work for the way Ethel and Andreas
cooked. Sean went into his bedroom and started unpacking the suitcases from
the trip. He stripped his bed and carried the soiled linens to the laundry
room. Xander came in with the purple sets from upstairs.

"You're right this place is a dust factory. Have to say the previous owners
were a bit matchy, matchy with their color scheme."

"You should have seen the silk flowers and garlands. Look at that crown
molding. It was all covered up." Xander gave the room a good look.

"Bro you'll bring this place back into her glory days. After the holiday,
I'll help you remodel a room together if you help us with our nursery."

"Deal!" The brothers spit in their right palms and shook hands on it then
broke into gales of laughter. The front doorbell rang. Andreas checked his
watch. "Can't be Clay they've just gotten started in the apartment." he
thought. He was right it was Mary Liz and Hannah Jane. The girls burst into
the house with shrieks of excitement. They hugged Sean and gazed around at
the huge home.

"All this for two gay men," Mary Liz stated.

Hannah hit her, "Jealous."

"Not in the least. Can we get a tour?

Sean showed them around and reintroduced them to his family as they went
around the house. When they got around to the upstairs bedrooms Sean showed
them the yellow room. "The two of you will share this room for your
visit. Now you just need to clean it."

"Junior must be rubbing off on you," Hannah blushed as she realized the
double meaning of her words.

Mary Liz gasped as she got the explicit content first. "In a good way," she
said trying to make it better but realizing it was worse.

Sean laughed. "There's a vacuum cleaner up here somewhere and you can ask
the others where the cleaning supplies are located. All the linens and
towels need washed so just bring them downstairs to the laundry please."

"Yes Master," Hannah Jane responded. Sean thought her words prophetic. "If
she only knew," he thought to himself.

Downstairs Walls checked on the laundry. Ethel grabbed him on his way
through the kitchen.

"We've just about got the kitchen organized. I'm running all the dishes
through the dishwasher on quick wash. What are you planning for lunch?"

"I bought pizza and beer."

"Sean Andreas Walls, you mean all you are going to serve these folks
helping you is pizza and beer. You know better. That isn't a balanced meal
at all."

Sean knew he had to placate Ethel when she used his full name. "How about
fixing a salad to go along with the pizza? I don't know what we have here
that would pass for a dessert either."

"You leave it to me. I'll figure out something. Tom! Tom!"

"Yes Mama."

"Fetch in the cleaning supplies I brought from the trunk of Daddy's car. I
have a job for you." Tom was out the door in a flash.

"Where is George?" Sean inquired.

"He's checking the outside of the house. He found some crawly things in the
bottom cabinets and he's gone looking for the breach. "

"I'll go check on..." Screams interrupted his comment and he took off
running to see what had gone wrong upstairs. When he reached the top of the
stairs everyone was gathered in the yellow bedroom. Hannah and Mary Liz
were pointing at the mattress. Sean followed their fingers to a huge dark
brown and yellow stains which spread over much of the top of the
mattress. "Yellow room," Sean thought, "Appropriate."

"That's so gross. I'm not sleeping on that!" Mary Liz stated emphatically.

"You won't have to sleep on it. Xander, Nicholas would you remove the
mattress and box springs from this room please? We're going to get rid of
this bedroom set altogether."

Ethel had just made it to the room from the kitchen. "What you going to do
with it?"

"There's just too much furniture and I don't care for the design nor the
white washed over yellow color. Guess Goodwill will get it."

"I'll take it if you don't mind. George and I have been talking about
finally getting a bigger bed. We've slept in a full size bed for 45 years."

"It's yours. I'll get the guys to deliver it today," Andreas announced.

"Many thanks. I can't wait till tell George."

Xander and Nicholas picked up the soiled mattress and maneuvered it out the
bedroom door. Nick hollered, "Look out below!" before launching his end of
the mattress over the railing and into the entrance hall.

"That was good thinking bro! Let's do the same with the boxed springs." The
brothers returned to the yellow bedroom and hefted the box springs up
revealing and equally stained yellow carpet underneath.

"Good grief! What was wrong with these people that they left this room get
so soiled!" Andrea said to the room at large. Alexander walked over to the
closet and slid open the door. He fished around at the back and lifted up
the carpet.

"Andreas, there is hardwood here too,' he told his son.

"Really? That's great. We'll move the furniture out and then remove the
rug. I prefer area rugs anyway. Would you help me with bed Dad?"

"Sure son."

"Mary Liz and Hannah Jane would you please clean out the drawers, Just put
thing in a plastic bag and we'll go through it later."

"Sure bro to be," Hannah responded.

Alexander and Andreas began taking the bed apart. When the foot board was
loose Nicholas carried it downstairs with Xander. The headboard was easier
to loosen from the rails. By the time his brothers returned the bed was
fully apart. The older brothers carried the headboard and Alexander and
Andreas each carried a rail.

While he was downstairs Andreas checked on the laundry. Isabella and Helene
were folding his clothes. Nicole and Crystal had sorted sheets, bedspreads
and towels into separate piles. "Andreas, I think you should wash the
spreads individually," Crystal opined.

"Sounds like a plan. Will you take charge of the upstairs laundry Crys?"

"Sure, we all can handle it," Crystal commented.

Andreas went over and kissed Isabelle and Helene on their cheeks. "Thank
you for folding our laundry. I didn't expect you to do that for us."

"You're welcome," Helene stated. "It's not like I haven't done it before. I
even helped Mom changed your diaper a few time," she added laughing.

"Yeah, yeah, you have often reminded me I was your shitty little brother."
The five family members laughed together.

Tom came in to the laundry, "Mama says it's time to eat." George was
delivering the same message upstairs. In short order sixteen people
gathered in the kitchen. Hannah was carrying a jewelry box when she
arrived.

"I think you need to see this Sean," Mary Liz as Hannah placed the box on
the counter.

Ethel said, "It can wait. Lunch is ready."

Andreas nodded, "Let's circle up and join hands." The group joined
hands. "Lord, we thank you for the gift of family and friends. Bless them
for their willingness to help out. Bless the hands that prepared this
meal. Bless too the food which is set before us, In Jesus name. Amen."

A horn sounded. "Clay never misses a meal," Mary Liz laughed her eyes
sparkling. She, Hannah and Clay rushed out the kitchen door and ran to the
front of the house where Clay was hopping out of the U-Haul truck and three
other cars pulled up behind him. Their college friends piled out of the
first two cars. The last car carried Clay's family including his father and
grandmother. Chief kissed Clay. "Wait till you see all we've accomplished!"
Then he waved at everyone, "Welcome, please come in, lunch is ready and the
blessing has been said." Everyone followed him into the house through the
kitchen door.

"Ethel this is a wonderful lunch," Andrea stated as she dished out some of
the pasta salad onto her plate next to a slice of pepperoni pizza. "How did
you manage all the pizzas?"

"I used the outdoor kitchen too. Its ovens are huge. By the way both ovens
needed cleaned. Luckily they're both self-cleaning. I'll start them after
dinner tonight."

"You plan on cooking for us?' Martha asked.

"Yes ma'am. It's what I do best. It's my way of helping."

"Perhaps we can work together."

"It would be a pleasure. I could use some ideas on feeding your boy when he
comes to dinner."

"And you could show me a few things I can prepare for Andreas." The two
women hugged.

Alexander came into the house, "What's in the box Andreas?"

"I forgot about it," he admitted as he walked to the kitchen island and
picked up the cherry wood box. He turned the little key and lifted the
lid. He picked up a watch and stared at it shaking his head. "It's a Rolex
and there are two of them!" He lifted the second watch from the box. "There
are three strands of pearls one white, one double strand black and a triple
strand of sort of white." He looked at a small gold tag near each
clasp. "It says Akoya on these two and Hanadama on this triple strand. Then
there is a ruby ring, and emerald ring as well as a diamond ring."

"Andreas, I've heard of Hanadama. There a very expensive pearl," his mother
interjected.

"I think I better call Robert and Lawrence and let them know they left some
valuables behind."

Helene interrupted her brother, "Andreas what does your deed of transfer
say?"

"What do you mean?"

"Did they transfer the property or the property and chattels?"

"I don't know. Where would we look?"

"Where are your closing documents?"

"I'll get them from the lock box in the bedroom," Clay stated as he dashed
to the master bedroom. When he returned he handed Helene the closing packet
copies.

She expertly scanned the documents. "Here it is," she commented. "They
transferred the remaining contents and chattels in addition to the
property. The jewelry is legally yours."

"Legally yes, but this is a pretty amazing collection. It may have
sentimental value as well. I'm going to call them. What time is it in
London?"

"Early evening," Richard stated.

"Excuse me a few minutes please, Clay you want to join me?"

"Sure do Chief." Sean picked up the box and walked back into their
bedroom. He dialed Master Robert's number.

After a few rings Lawrence answered, "Gainz residence, Lawrence speaking."

"Lawrence this is Sean Walls. How's London?"

"It's not Berlin, but the company added 20K to their salary offer and
arranged this house for us on Tufnell Park Road. Definitely not Oak Haven
but it is home. What's up?"

"We're moving in today and we found jewelry in the yellow bedroom. We
thought..."

Lawrence's voice dropped to a whisper, "Keep it. Robert won't want it. It
was his step mother's. He only took her in 15 years ago out of pity as her
own kids didn't want anything to do with her.  She lived 6 months in that
room before she died. She wouldn't leave it. When the undertaker took her
body out Robert closed the door and never entered it again. I changed the
sheets once but the room was never used again. "You can do whatever you
want with her jewelry." His voice returned to normal. "It's the boys from
Oak Haven Sir. Glad you're enjoying the house. If you have any questions
just ring us again. Ciao."

Clay looked at the jewelry. "Wow. That's quite a windfall. What are we
going to do?"

"I suggest we take it to an estate jeweler on Park Avenue after we talk to
my jeweler friend. I don't mind if we don't get top dollar but I don't want
to give it away either."  Sean slipped the jewelry box into the bottom
drawer of the dresser. Clay and he rejoined the rest of the family who were
making plans for the afternoon work session.

"Son," Alexander began, "we have some suggestions for Clay and you." The
two men sat down and gave Sean's Dad their attention. "Andreas, we are
going to remove the carpet from the yellow bedroom. That way you can move
your old bedroom furniture into it. Richard and Nicholas will help
us. Xander and David will take care of the orange room. George is going to
work with Tom on some of the gardening. Granny is going to take a
nap. She'll be staying in the blue room while Mary Liz and Hannah move to
the purple room. Martha and Leon will be in the green room. Leon and RJ
will start emptying out the old tack room so you need to give them some
idea of what's going to happen to the stables. Martha, Ethel and your
mother are going to do meal planning for tonight. Clay you and your college
friends will unload the truck. Afterwards you can load the bedroom set
going to the Rice's and take it to their house."

"Sound grea! What do you need from us tool wise?" Clay inquired.

"For the rug removal hammer, pry bar, and box cutters," Alexander
responded.

"I've got them in my tool in my trunk plus there are tools in the garage as
well. I'll fetch them in," Andreas informed his father. He went out to the
garage. After getting his tool box he saw two box cutters and crowbar. He
gathered them up as well and headed back inside.

Meanwhile inside everyone was getting back to work. "Junior you can tell me
about the stable," Leon commented. Clay accompanied his father and his
brother out to the tack room.

"The tack room will become Sean's and my office space. Our two desks will
go in here. Through here is the first stall. That will become his work
space for designing. We will eventually wall it off. The second and third
stalls will become our gym. The ladders and some of the items in storage
here will go in the fourth stall. It will also be general storage. The
ladders and some of the tools from the first stall will go in there. The
fifth and sixth stalls were already walled off. That's our private area."

RJ piped up, "You mean your dungeon for sex."

"Robert, you're going to lose the internet again." Leon scowled.

"Sorry Dad. Sorry Junior." After Leon turned back away from him, RJ stuck
his tongue out at Clay. Farm Boy just shook his head.

"RJ and I will start cleaning out the tack room. We'll put everything in
the third stall that we think is worth looking out. The trash we'll stack
outside the stall."

"Sounds great Dad. Thank you." Clay headed back out to the truck where
Larry was directing the unpacking. "Looking good you guys. When you get to
the David, let me unload it myself." Larry nodded as he lifted a box marked
for the kitchen.

Clay entered the house through the front door as Sean tossed a third strip
of carpeting down into the entrance hall. He picked it up and carried it
outside and started a garbage pile near the stables. When he came in to get
another roll he found 7 rolls waiting for him and Richard was dropping a
roll of padding down. "Thanks Richard," he muttered sarcastically.

"Anytime buddy."

As Clay emerged with his next load George and Tom were coming around the
corner of the house. "Let's us help you," Tom hollered as he ran over to
the front door. He emerged shortly with two rolled up pieces of
padding. George joined in as well. In short order the carpet and padding
was filed up by the garage. Then George and Tom carried out the boxed
springs. Clay went in to get the stained mattress. Alexander was waiting
for him and the two carried it out and threw it on the pile of debris that
was building up.

The last thing on the truck was the David statue. Clay lifted it carefully
and carried it down the gangway. In the entrance hall, he gingerly set it
down. "Where you want it Chief," he called.

Sean stuck his head out of the yellow bedroom. "Put it in the den for
now. It will be out of the way."

Clay picked it up once more and carried it to the hidden den under the
stairs. As he entered he saw that Sean had already had the guys place the
couch and love seat into the den. He ran upstairs as Antonio and Steve were
carrying in the mattress for the bed. Sean and arranged this room so that
the furniture fit nicely. The bed was on the same wall as before. The two
highboys were across the room from each other. One occupied the space of
the former vanity the other was where the dresser had been. The night
stands framed the bed.

Andreas announced, "Eventually I want to get rid of all the carpet. Smell
the difference in this room? No pee or dusty odors. But the rugs can
wait. Clay please organize the guys to load the old bedroom furniture onto
the truck. Miss Ethel also wants all the bags of plants and the two. She'll
take them to her church for crafting."

Clay came over and kissed Sean. "The room and the den look amazing."

"Thank you. It's been a team effort. Take the guys with you to move the
furniture. Some can ride with George. Tom is staying here.  When you get
back Ethyl says dinner will be ready."

"What's she cooking chief?"

`Salisbury Steak is all I know. But Ethel will have it all planned out." He
patted Clay's balls causing him to wince and whispered into his ear, "We
can take care of your itch tonight."

"Yes Sir!" Clay grinned and headed out to get the U-Haul loaded.

Sean went downstairs to find Tom sitting on a stool in the kitchen
twiddling his thumbs as his mother was busy making the dough fora cobbler
she was making for dessert. "Come on Tom, I could use your help."

"I'll be happy to help you Andreas," Tom replied hopping down off the
stool.

"You mind what Andreas tells you boy," his mother called to him while
looking over the glasses perched on the tip of her nose.

"Yes Mama."

`We're going to start right over here Tom. We're going to move that
Christmas tree from the family room to the middle of the entrance hall. I'm
going to tilt the tree toward you; you grab it about here." Sean
pointed. Then we'll move it into the hall."

"Easy pezzie Andreas," Tom replied.

Sean tilted the tree and Tom caught his end. Andreas lifted the heavy
bottom end and they carried the tree into the hall. "This is where it gets
tricky Tom. You're going to push your end up when I tell you to do so."

"Yes Sir."

Sean braced himself and place one foot against one of the legs of the tree
stand. "Push, push, push, push," he called. Tom pushed and moved his arms
quickly one over the other as the tree resumed its upward stature. It
reached to the level of the second floor. "Do you see the plug for the
lights?"

"Its right here Andreas." Tom replied.

"Great! We'll need to spin the tree towards me a quarter turn." Tom helped
with the move. Sean flipped open a small metal hatch in the floor and
plugged in the tree. Nothing happened. "Damn, I thought it would be a live
circuit."

Tom looked around and walked over to the door where a panel of five
switches adorned the wall. The fourth switch powered the outlet and the
tree of rainbow colors lit up." Tom clapped his hands happily.

"Well done Tom! That was great thinking," Sean complimented him. "Ready to
go exploring?" he asked giving a hunt of mystery to his voice.

Tom's eyes shone with excitement. "Are we going to explore the woods? I
love looking at all the plants and wildlife out here."

Nothing that exciting Tom. We're heading to the attic to see what sort of
Christmas decorations they left us.' Sean started for the stairs then
spotted the TV and television stand. "But first we need to do something
else in the Family Room. Would you go upstairs and bring me my little tool
box please. It's in the yellow room." Tom dashed off on his
assignment. Sean walked into the family room and looked at the TV mounted
above the mantle. It wasn't on a brace but hanging from a bolt. He unhooked
it from the cabling and unplugged it from an extension cord. Tom returned
with the tools. "Doesn't look like we'll need those after all Tom. This
thing is rigged to hang on one bolt embedded in the mortar. But thanks for
bringing it down. Would you please help me lift this TV off the mantle?"

"Of course, Andreas." Tom took one side and Sean the other. They lifted the
set down and leaned it against one of the couches.

"Now we will bring in the TV stand and put it against the wall where the
tree stood." The pair moved quickly and lifted the lightweight stand and
put in place. "Time for the TV." They returned to the entrance hall and
carefully picked up the large set and placed it on its stand.

"I can hook it up for you Andreas," Tom offered.

"That would be great. I'll bring in the boxes with the rest of the pieces
for the sound bar and stereo." He retrieved the boxes from the hall in two
trips. Tom was happily engaged in wiring everything into place.  Sean
walked into the kitchen area. "Want something to drink Tom?"

"A root beer that would be great, thank you."

"Just cokes and sprite at the moment bud."

"Then a Sprite please. Andreas did you transfer your service here? I'm not
getting a signal here."

Handing a Sprite to Tom he commented, "Damn. I knew I forgot something. Let
me call now." He pulled out his phone and called Spectrum as he walked
outside with his beer. He returned a few minutes later. "No cable service
here. Let me look for a dish." He went outside again with Tom following
close behind him.

"There it is Andreas near that dormer window," Tom shouted. A small
satellite dish sat on the roof aimed toward the southwest. "It's a Dish,
dish Andreas," Tom announced.

Sean looked up a service number and within minutes he was providing his
card number to reinstate the service to the house under his name. By the
time he had finished his beer and had come back inside Tom had the TV up
and running and Granny Reed was flipping through channels looking for her
favorite shows.

"I found the dish remote on the mantel," Tom informed him. "We should check
out the receiver to make sure your WIFI is working as well."

"You're a whiz at this stuff Tom. Thank you. Let's look for that later. I'm
itching to explore the attic." Sean led the way to the second floor and to
the attic stair well across from the yellow bedroom."

"I've never seen a circle of stairs before," Tom commented.

"It's called a circular staircase Tom. This one is metal. Let's get up
there." Sean flicked on the light switches led the way. The attic was
huge. "We could finish this and make a media room or game room up here,"
Sean thought. "Christmas is right here on the right Tom," Andreas commented
as he pointed to the boxes and wreathes under a sign that said Christmas.

"Look Andreas there are signs for Valentine's Day, St Patrick's Day,
Easter, May Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Halloween and
Thanksgiving. They sure have a lot of holiday stuff. What holiday is Civil
War?"

"Not sure it's a holiday. We can explore that another time when you
visit. Let's work on Christmas," Andreas said as he hauled the first box
out. Tom pitched in and helped move more boxes out until they were all
lined up in the central walk of the attic. "You pick a box and open it
Tom."

Tom quietly did eeny, meeny, miny, moe as he pointed at the boxes. "This
one," he announced as his hand touched the box.  Andreas motioned for him
to open the box. It contained and elaborate porcelain and cloth nativity
set.

"Oh that goes downstairs for sure," Andreas stated. Tom slid the box toward
the stairs. "Which one next?"

One by one Tom selected boxes. One contained nothing but gold colored
ornaments. Another was filled with silver ornaments. A third contained red
ornaments. The fourth had glass ornaments of different designs and shapes.
The fifth box was white ornaments and snowflakes. The final two boxes were
a mixture of silver and gold ornaments.

"OK Tom you get to decide what colors to put on the tree in the entrance
hall."

"I choose gold and red. Gold cause the wise men gave it to baby Jesus and
red cause it's my favorite color."

"Gold and Red it is. Let's pull those boxes over by the stairs. Then we'll
see what's back further in the Christmas section." The two men moved the
two large ornament containers to the stairs before returning to peer into
the back of the rafters.

Tom started pulling wreath bags out into the walkway. Each room of the
house had wreaths assigned to it. Some bags were bigger than others. Then
there were two large wreaths labeled front door and entrance hall. There
were seven coils of multicolored and white lights as well. The final two
boxes contained tree toppers -- a large gold star and a large snow flake
were in one box. In the next box were two angels, one in gold and silver
and the other in red and gold.

"We'll decide which one to use later let's move the nativity and ornaments
downstairs," Andreas suggested. The two men each took and end of a box and
Sean walked backwards down the stairs carefully. Eventually the boxes were
in the entrance hall and the two men found themselves surrounded by all the
women.

"Want to help us decorate the tree?" Tom asked gleefully. Granny, Nicole,
Helena, Mary Liz, Hannah, Isabella, Gina and Crystal all agreed to
help. "Andreas we're going to need a ladder," Tom commented.

"I'll get it from the stables," Andreas replied. He popped out the front
door and headed to the stables where all the men were now working. "Wow!"
he exclaimed as he saw the significant progress they had made. The two
desks were in the center of the tack room, everything else was stored in
the third stall.

"Sean there are a lot of items here that are antiques. I think you need to
get them looked at before you get rid of them. Old tools are a collectors
market. Then we also found a lot of trophies and ribbons which might go to
the historical society out here," Leon noted.

"Really! Clay and I will need to take a look at them. I need to get a
ladder for in the house. It's looking great out here. Thanks for the hard
work." He entered the stall area and pulled out a ten foot folding ladder
and carried it back into the house,"

Tom had organized the women into a line and handed each an ornament to add
to the tree as they circled it and game back for more. They were already
reaching the midway point when Andreas carried the ladder into the entrance
hall. Once the ladder was in place the women would hand him the ornaments
and he started filling the top half of the tree. Then he'd move the ladder
around and start filling up another section. In short order the tree was
done.

"All right Tom, run up to the attic and pick a topper for this tree." Tom
scooted up the stairs and along the hall landing to the attic door. Within
minutes he returned with the gold star. When he reached the tree he tried
to hand the star to Andreas. "No Sir, you organized the decorating you get
to crown the tree. I'll hold the ladder while you position the star and
plug it into the lights."

Tom climbed up the ladder. He carefully positioned the star so that it
faced the front door. He located the end of a light strand at the top of
the tree and plugged the star into its socket. The star glowed and
sparkled. Tom clapped his hands in joy and smiled down at Andreas. He
climbed down, "Thank you Andreas. Daddy puts the angels on our tree. That's
the first time put a topper on a Christmas tree." He hugged Andreas who
hugged him back.

Sean turned off the recessed lights above the tree and the entrance hall
was bathed in a rainbow colors and shining gold star of the magnificent
tree. Applause ran around the room.

Granny Reed started singing in a clear soprano voice.  "O Christmas Tree, O
Christmas Tree, How steadfast are your branches!  Your boughs are green in
summer's clime And through the snows if wintertime.  O Christmas Tree, O
Christmas Tree, How steadfast are your branches!"  Others hearing her sing
entered the entrance hall and joined in on the second verse.

		"O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, What happiness befalls
me When oft at joyous Christmas-time Your form inspires my song and rhyme.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, What happiness befalls me.

		O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, Your boughs can teach a
lesson That constant faith and hope sublime Lend strength and comfort
through all time.  O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, Your boughs can
teach a lesson."

Clay and the others returned during the carol as the men from the stables
had also come into the house. Everyone together sang the first verse
together.

		"O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, How steadfast are your
branches!  Your boughs are green in summer's clime And through the snows if
wintertime.  O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, How steadfast are your
branches!"

Ethyl announced from the French doors, "That was beautiful, but dinner is
served. Who will ask the blessing?"

Andreas answered, "Granny Reed would you do the honors?"

Her eyes glistening, she smiled and nodded then bowed her head. "God grant
us the light of Christmas, which is faith; the warmth of Christmas, which
is purity; the righteousness of Christmas, which is justice; the belief in
Christmas, which is truth; the all of Christmas, which is Christ. Dear God,
we give thanks for this time when we can all be together. We give thanks
for this food which is bountiful and delicious. We give thanks for this
joyful holiday when we can celebrate our Savior and his love for us. With
joy we pray, Amen."

"Amen," rang out from the assembly.  Ethel led the way into the kitchen
where a buffet and been laid out. She pulled the Salisbury steak from the
oven. The side was yellow rice mixed with green beans, carrots, and
broccoli. For dessert she had prepared an apple Betty and a cherry
cobbler. Some people sat in the dining room, others at the breakfast table
still others at the breakfast bar.

Towards the end of the meal Alexander spoke up. "As I look around this
beautiful house which my son and future son-in-law have purchased, I see it
is much more than a house. It is a home where friends and family can be at
ease with each other. Now knowing Andreas, I know he is a planner. However,
I bet he hasn't thought of what to do tomorrow. So I'd like to suggest that
since we did such a bang up job today that we continue our work
tomorrow. How many would be able to come spend the day again helping
getting their new home fixed up?"

All the Reeds raised their hands. Xander and Richard raised theirs along
with Andrea and Alexander. George, Ethel and Tom also raised their
hands. "So that is15 for tomorrow's crew. That's great," Alexander
commented.

Clay spoke up, "I can't thank you all enough for today. We couldn't have
done it without you. I know my team and class mates need to be going to
their own families for the holiday, but we'll be hosting a New Year's Day
game here. So please feel free to drop in."

"Let's develop a plan for tomorrow," Andreas began. His Dad held up his
hand and Andreas fell silent.

"Leon and I have already talked about this a bit. We're going to finish
your office and study area. RJ will help with that as well."

Richard added, "Xander and I are going to paint the stable's exterior."

Martha added, "Sean honey I know you wanted to fix Christmas Dinner
yourself, but cooking for that large a crowd takes a lot of planning. So
Ethel, your mother and I are going to work with you to plan it. Then we'll
shop for the things we'll need. It will also be each family brings a dish
to share."

"Tom and I are going to clean up the outside so the place doesn't look so
overgrown," George put in. "I'll bring my paint sprayer, power washer and
yard tools as well to help with the work."

"I want to explore the Christmas Tree Farm marked on our survey. I think
the big tree in the hall is terrific but I still want a real tree in the
living room and one here in the family room," Junior commented.

"Do you all realize its 8:30?" Isabella inquired.

"Oh it is late!" Granny said. "I best take my pills and head to bed. Hannah
will you walk with me upstairs?" Hannah nodded and got up to assist her
grandmother.

Martha spoke up, "Breakfast at 8 here. I'm cooking and the girls will help
me."

With all the decisions made the goodbyes began. By the time Clay and Sean
had thanked, hugged and kissed everyone it was 9:15.  Clay's sisters were
in the purple room, his granny in the blue room, his parents were in the
green room and RJ was installed on the couch in the den.

Clay took out the trash as Sean locked doors and turned off the outside
lights. He led the way into their bedroom. He stopped abruptly in the
doorway. Looking back over his shoulder, he asked, "Wasn't there something
else you wanted to do today Farm Boy?" He winked at his fiancé.

Clay grabbed his Chief's shoulders and spun him around and kissed him
forcing his tongue deep into Sean's mouth. He gently pushed his lover into
their bedroom and closed and locked the door behind them. The sophomore
broke the kiss only long enough to lift up Sean's shirt and pull it up and
off the junior's body. Then he pulled off his own tee shirt and rejoined
the kiss. The lovers' hands explored their bodies as Clay maneuvered them
to the bed.

When they reached the four poster Farm Boy pushed Chief down onto the
bed. He unfastened Sean's belt and pulled the shorts and jockstrap from
Andreas' body before pulling off his shoes and socks. The blond hair Adonis
lay naked before him. His nine inch erect penis pointing upwards.The
quarterback removed the rest of his own clothes before tackling his lover
who was moving further onto the bed.

"I've been waiting for this all day Chief," Farm Boy managed to get out
between kisses.

"Me too boy," Chief responded. The two kissed and explored each other's
body while grinding their cocks together. "How do you want it tonight lover
boy?"

"Just like this Sir. I want to try frontage."

Sean giggled, "I think you mean frottage, Farm Boy. Best add a little lube
so we don't rub ourselves raw."

Clay grabbed a bottle of lube from his night stand. He squirted it
liberally onto Chief's cock before applying it to his own. The two men
began humping each other awkwardly for a few minutes until they established
a rhythm. They would roll over every once in a while taking turns being on
top and then discovered side by side worked best for them.

Sean's breathing was getting heavier as was Clay's. Their sexual passion
was building as their dicks ground into each other's Adonis belts and abs
until Farm Boy groaned and shot 4 massive bolts of semen from his engorged
cock. A few thrusts later Chief added his own 3 loads to this fluids
between them as he raked his lover's back with his fingernails. They clung
to each other is a sexual afterglow nibbling every once in a while on each
other's neck, lips and ears. They whispered their love to one another.

"Time to turn in Farm Boy," Chief announced quietly. We'll wash the
bedspread tomorrow." He pulled the spread back and crawled under the
sheets.

"Ok Chief. We both nailed it tonight." He walked over and turned off the
overhead light. Returning to the bed, Clay pulled back the spread and
sheets on his side and joined Sean under the sheets. He turned off his
table lamp and spooned back into this lover. Soft snores filled the room as
they slept contentedly next to each other.
