Chapter 41

Full Time Ahead

 

 

I looked at Bart, “Dad Zack and I are going to take Mr. Franklin home.  We have an errand to run.  We’ll be back shortly.  Make sure your brother gets his normal butt to bed on time.”

 

Chris looked and me and pouted, “How come everyone is always making fun of  my body.  Me and Farmer Bear are going to run away.”

 

As Zack and I were taking Wilt to his boarding house, I had to ask what was on my mind, “Wilt, you have mentioned several times that you might be selling your body to subsist.  Would you please explain?”

 

Wilt was very frank.  “Guys, I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth like you two guys were.  I lost my parents when I was sixteen.  We were always just trying to subsist even before they died.  After they died, I was able to get two part time jobs so that I could at least live.  After I graduated from high school, I wanted to go to college.  The only way I could afford to do that was to let other men use my body for pay.”

 

Both Zack and I sucked air on that comment.  Zack asked, “Wilt, I’m not sure I understand exactly what you meant by that comment.  Were you saying that you let just anyone use your body for pay?”

 

Wilt shook his head no, “Guys, I have been very selective about who I let use my body.  I have always insisted that we use protection and I get tested regularly for HIV.   I have a regular client base.  I do whatever they want me to do.  Some of my clients want me to be the top and others want me to be the bottom.  I try to give them a good show and make them think I’m enjoying what I’m doing.”

 

“The john, I’m scheduled to meet tonight just wants to pretend that I’m his grandson.  He’ll make me get naked and put a diaper on me.  After that he’ll hold me in his arms and keep giving me bottles of water so that I go to the bathroom in the diaper.  When I do, he’ll remove the diaper and starts to spank me and tell me what a bad boy I have been.”

 

“After the spanking, he performs fellatio on me and tells me that I’ve been such a good boy that he puts a $50.00 bill in my briefs before he brings me back to my room.  He has been doing this every Monday night for three years.  I’m going to miss him in some ways, but I know I won’t be able to keep my job if I continue this lifestyle.  In fact, I’m a little concerned that there may be one or two of my clients at the PTO meeting tomorrow night.”

 

We pulled up at the boarding house where he lived and a Cadillac was parked waiting.  Wilt exited the car and went to the awaiting car.  He didn’t even say goodbye.

 

I looked at Zack, “Okay, what do I do now.?  I can’t have someone who lives that lifestyle working for me.”

 

Zack was very pragmatic, “Mark, Wilt’s lifestyle is none of anyone’s business unless it interferes with his job performance.  For that matter, people could very well have major objections if they were to learn of your and my relationship.”

 

I looked at Zack, “I suppose you’re right, but it grieves me that anyone has to resort to selling their body to subsist.”

 

“Mark, you’re being idealistic.  There are a great many people, especially young people, who are living like that.  Wilt indicated that he has always practiced safe sex which is more than many young people, or even some older people, can control.   They are at the mercy of the predators.  Mark, think about what had happened to our oldest son.”

 

“I guess you’re probably right, Zack.   I guess I did live a rather sheltered life.  If it hadn’t been for your boss, when I was about twelve, I could very well have wound up being like that.”

 

“Mark, it’s not your prerogative to determine what the values of the school district should be.  I’m guessing that they did some kind of background check on Wilt before he was even interviewed.  He really seems as if he has his head screwed on straight.  We need to let him know that not all of us were born with a silver spoon in our mouths.  If it hadn’t been for my Grandmother and then later Tip and Ty,  I could very well have wound up in his position.  Now let’s talk about something fun, like what you’re going to do to me when we’re in bed tonight.”

 

I reached over and started to massage his penis, “You mean like seeing if this volcano is active or not?”

 

He pushed my hand away, “Mark, stop that, or it will be so extended that I won’t be able to go into the house.”

 

There was a double volcanic eruption in our bedroom that made the bed shake that night.

 

It was a beautiful morning and Chris had us up early so we could go for a run before he had to get ready for school.  I think he was  nervous about what he was going to do at the PTO meeting even though he didn‘t say anything.

 

When I took the children to school, I parked in the parking lot because I wanted to meet the counselor before our meeting.  As we were walking into the building, Dr. Plummer was talking to a handsome young man.

 

She motioned for me to join them, “Mark, this is Jason Berger.  He's the school counselor.  Jason, this is Mark Leavitt, who will heading the new program that we will be piloting.”

 

We shook hands and I laughed, “Jason, you’re exactly the person I was hoping to talk to.  Our team will be meeting at 9:30 this morning.  Could you meet with us.  My assistant, Mrs. Del Rio, suggested that we meet with you to make sure that we are not duplicating what you are doing.”

 

“Mark, you don’t know how excited I am, to have your program in our school.  You will provide time for me to work in the classroom and with small groups.  I will send the individuals with problems to you.  They have many times disrupted my set schedule and upset the people who I should have been seeing.  I heard how Mr. Franklin handled Danny yesterday when he threw his temper tantrum.  He handled it far better than I would have been able to.  I think you are going to be surprised at how many children here have problems like that.”

 

Dr. Plummer nodded, “Mark, Jason is correct.  Our school has a very diverse economic population.  It is not only the children who come lower income homes that have problems that cause them to behave inappropriately. “

 

“Mark, we have a staff meeting on Thursday afternoon after school.  Could you be available to talk about the program?  It would great if Mrs. Del Rio and Mr. Franklin could be there as well.”

 

“Dr. Plummer, I’ll make sure that I’m there.  I’ll check with the other two people while we’re working today.”

 

I started to leave and Jason followed me, “Mark, can we talk for a minute?”

 

“Of course, Jason.”

 

“Mark, let’s go into my office and we can talk in private.”

 

I wasn’t so sure about this, but I followed him to his office.  He offered me an easy chair and sat opposite me.   I had no idea what he wanted to talk about.

 

“Mark, first let me say how impressed I am with what you have done for Chris.  He’s a very vibrant little boy.  Before that fateful day when you carried him outside and laid on the ground with him and looked at the clouds, he spent more time in my office almost than he did in his classroom.  Since you took him in and adopted him, he has become a real leader in the class.”

 

“One day, I heard Chris talking to someone and he said something about his two Dads.  The boy to whom he was talking challenged him, ‘How can you have two Dads?’  Chris recovered nicely and answered, ‘I was talking about my old Dad who died and my new Dad.’”

 

“Mark, unless my gaydar isn’t working correctly, I’m guessing that you and that handsome gentleman who has been here with you on several occasions are the two Dads Chris was talking about.”

 

I laughed “I guess your gaydar must be working rather well.  Zack and I became special friends when I took the job as nanny for the four Jefferson children.  Zack is the Jefferson children’s foster Uncle.”

 

Jason started to laugh, “It sounds very complicated to me.  I have one more question.”

 

“Go ahead and ask it.  I might not answer?’

 

“What do you know about Mr. Franklin?  When I was watching him working with Danny yesterday, I got strange vibrations that he might be gay.”

 

“Jason, you, of all people, should know that what Wilt’s sexual preferences are none of mine or your business.”

 

Jason frowned, “Mark, you’re right; I was out of bounds asking you something like that.  I guess, I was just hoping.  He seems like he might be someone whom I would like to get to know.”

 

“Jason, our team will be meeting this morning and then be here again tonight for the PTO meeting.  Perhaps you could visit with Wilt at lunch time.”

 

“Mark,  this is the one day all month that I’m scheduled to be away from the building.  The district counselors are getting together for a meeting to plan the counseling curriculum for next year.  In fact, the meeting runs from ten until four.  I am scheduled to be at the PTO meeting though, so perhaps you could introduce me to Mr. Franklin if I miss you this morning.”

 

As I was driving home to change clothes again, just in case we had to go to Central Office, I decided that I wasn’t going to say anything to Wilt about what had transpired.    I checked on Bart and the two girls, and everything was fine. 

 

As I was pulling into the parking lot when I returned to the school, Jason was pulling out of the lot.  He stopped and put down his window.  “Mark, I’ll see you tonight.”

 

I was waiting in the foyer for Wilt and Mrs. Del Rio.  Wilt arrived walking, and Mrs. Del Rio was driving an Avalon.  After I greeted them, we went to the office and Dr. Plummer was standing talking to the secretary.  When she saw us, she said, “Rosemary, I'm going to take Mr. Leavitt and his team to the area where they will be housed next year.”

 

We went to a section that was very near where Jason’s office was located.  She showed us three adjacent rooms that were interconnected.  She announced, “We’ll furnish two of these offices similar to the way Mr. Berger’s room is furnished.  Since you will usually be working with only one child at a time.  There may be other times when you will be working with parents or with a child and their parents.”

 

“Mr. Franklin, the middle office should probably be yours, and set up as if it were a reception area.  But you will need to have a place where you perhaps resolve some smaller issues without involving DoDo or Mark.  All three offices will have a phone and a computer.  Mark, you will need to let me know what else you might need or want.”

 

After Dr. Plummer had departed, the three of us looked around the offices and I suggested, “Why don’t I show you the school counselor’s room?  I had the opportunity to see it earlier this morning and I think the way he has his room set up might give us some good ideas.”

 

We had just entered the open door of the office and turned the light on when Chris’ teacher stuck her head in, “Hi Mark, I looking for Mr. Berger.  One of my students has totally lost it and he is totally disrupting the class.”

 

“Mrs. Howard, does the young man resemble me or Mr. Franklin here?”

 

Mrs. Howard nodded, “He probably resembles Mr. Franklin more than you.”

 

“Wilt, go see what you can do to help the young man.”

 

Wilt grinned, “Yes boss.”

 

I turned to Mrs. Del Rio, “So much for getting much work done here at the school, today.  Who knows when we’ll see Wilt again?”

 

We were about to leave the counselor’s office when there was a knock on the door.   I spoke, “Please come in.”

 

A young girl who looked to be about ten entered, and we could tell that she had definitely been crying.  She asked, “Is Mr. Berger here?  I need to talk to someone.”

 

Mrs. Del Rio looked at me, “Mr. Leavitt, I’ll talk to the young girl.  Why don’t you find out who the school’s social worker is and find out how we can get in touch with him or her?”

 

I went to the office and the secretary was busy; I stuck my head in Dr. Plummers’ office, “Who is the school’s social worker and how can we get in touch with them?  Mrs. Del Rio is working with a young girl and seems to think that the social worker needs to be involved.”

 

“Where is Dr. Del Rio?”

 

“She’s in Mr. Berger’s office.”

 

“Where is Mr. Franklin?”

 

“He’s helping with one of Mrs. Long’s students.”

 

“Mark, please take my lunchroom duty, while I go see if I can help Dr. Del Rio.”

 

Since I had no idea what I was to do on lunch room duty, I figured I should find out what it entailed, so I went to the lady at the check-in stand and asked what Dr. Plummer did when she was on lunchroom duty. 

 

The woman looked up at me and very seriously said, “You walk around and look mean and remind the children that they need to be quiet and eat.”

 

I thought to myself, “That’s a bunch of b. s.  The teachers are probably going to be in the lounge talking so loud that roof will be shaking.”

 

The first class arrived and I greeted them at the door.  “Welcome to our dining room.  I’ll show you to your table after you check in and get your food.”

 

The kindergarteners looked at me as if I was crazy,  but they sat down and started to eat.  I did the same to every class as they entered and it was surprising how quiet it was and how well behaved the children were.  Something happened and two boys started to fight.  One of the paraprofessionals who was monitoring the lunch room with me yelled, “You two get against the wall and I mean, now.”

 

She just happened to be the same individual who was involved in the Danny incident yesterday.  I went up to her and quietly said, “Ma’am, please leave the eating area.  I’m here in place of Dr. Plummer and want you to leave, now.”

 

I went to the two guys who were standing at the wall, “Please, go get your food; we’ll sit over here at this empty table and talk and see if we can resolve this problem.”

 

We were sitting at the table and the guys were explaining why they were fighting. As it turned out, they were arguing over who had the biggest penis.  I looked at the young man on the right, “Why would you even be talking about things like that?”

 

The answer made the hair on the back of my head stand up.  “Because my brothers are always parading around showing their dicks and bragging that they have the biggest dicks in their classes.”

 

I turned to the other young man, “Why does that bother you?”

 

The other young man answered,  “My Dad is always naked when he’s home.  I don’t think there is anyone bigger than him.”

 

I looked at the two guys, “Does anyone ever try to do anything with you?”

 

The first young man, Tommy, answered first, “No, but I know my brothers do things because I can hear them moaning and groaning sometimes.”

 

Luke, the other young man, answered, “Sometimes, my Daddy has another man come to visit and they make all sorts of noises and it’s really hard for me to get to sleep.”

 

“Look guys, I want you to eat your lunch and then we’re going to resolve this problem.  I need to go talk to the last classes as they are leaving.”

 

As I was thanking the last classes for coming, Wilt arrived with the  young man from Chris’ classroom.  “Is it too late for us to eat or do we need to play hooky and  go to the Golden Arches around the corner?”

 

The lady who was accounting for the money and the meals that had been eaten looked up, “I’m sure the ladies in the kitchen will feel sorry for you and feed you something.  It may be bread and water, but it will hold you until you go home.”

 

The lady turned her attention to me, “Nano Mark, this is about the quietest and best behaved I have seen these children in the lunchroom in the four years I’ve been working here.  Are you going to be here all the time.  I was so glad that you did what you did to that paraprofessional.  She is one of the biggest problems we have around here.  She is always belittling these young people.   She is really a witch when Dr. Plummer isn’t around.  Be careful, because she is a very spiteful person.”

 

As I was walking back to the two guys I saw a gentleman coming out of the office at the end of the multi purpose room.  I approached him, “Hi, I’m Mark Leavitt.”

 

The guy started to laugh, “Hi Nano Mark, everyone knows who you are.  I'm Jim Landon, the P. E. teacher.”

 

“Jim, I need your help with something.  It should only take a few minutes.”

 

“Sure, I have 15 minutes before my next class will arrive.

 

My two guys had finished their lunches, “Gentlemen, why don’t you come with us.  I have something I want to prove to you, so you can be friends and then we need to get you back to your classroom so your teacher doesn’t yell at me.”

 

We took the two guys into Mr. Berger’s office because I noticed that he had a full length mirror on the wall.  I closed the door to the office, after I put the do not disturb sign on it.  I turned to the two young men and dictated, “Drop your jeans and briefs and look into the mirror.  What do you do see?”

 

Tommy started to turn to me, “Guys, please do as I ask.  I promise, I will not touch you.”

 

The guys dropped their jeans and pushed down their briefs and as they were looking into the mirror I asked, “What do you see?”

 

Luke turned to me, “I see two naked peckers looking at me.”

 

“Okay turn sideways, now what do you see?”

 

Tommy answered, “I see two naked cocks that look to be about the same size.”

 

“Great, get yourselves dressed.  You two are almost the same size.  You need to forget about who has the biggest penis and just be friends.”

 

“But Nano Mark, our parents don’t like each other.  How can we be friends?”

 

“Guys, your parents aren’t here at school.  So just be the best friends you can be when you have the opportunity.  We need all the friends we can get.”

 

We walked the two guys back to their classroom and talked to their teacher.  “If you have anymore problems with the two young gentlemen, please let me know.”

 

As we were walking to the office area, Jim laughed, “I must say, that certainly was a unique way to solve that problem.   You might want to talk to Jason Berger about what happened, because what the boys said about their parents not liking each other was an understatement.  I need to go pick up my first class.  Talk to you later.”

 

When I got back to our new offices, Doctor Del Rio and Wilt were there.  Miss DoDo announced, “I don’t think I like this job very much. I think I’m going to quit.  After what happened to the young lady that came to us, I’ve almost lost faith in mankind.  She is  being removed from the foster home she has been in and may not be attending this school in the future.”

 

Wilt looked at me, “Look, you prick, I don’t know that I can do this job either.  Horatio is such an angry young man because of the way his parents treat him.  They buy him everything but they never show or tell him they love him.  I checked, and they are both professional people.  Horatio has all the worldly things that you would think would make a young boy happy, except he’s missing the feeling that anyone loves him.  I would love to take him home and love him.”

 

I started to laugh, “I guess I got off easy.  I got placed in charge of lunchroom duty.  I stopped a fight and told a paraprofessional to get lost.  Then I resolved an argument over which of the two combatants had the largest penis.”

 

We were sitting in what was to be my office, laughing, when there was a knock on the door.   I went to door and Dr. Plummer was standing there with the Superintendent, Dr. Roosevelt, and Dr. Trout.”

 

I looked at them, “Did you come to fire us, already?  We haven’t officially even started to work yet and we’re already exhausted.”

 

Dr. Roosevelt started to laugh, “Mark, we were watching how you manipulated the children in the lunchroom today.   I was impressed as to how you handled the situation with the screaming paraprofessional.  For your information, she has resigned and said she wasn’t going to be treated like dirt.”

 

“Mrs. Howard informed us about what a good job  Mr. Franklin did with working with Horatio.  She said he came back to the classroom like a different little guy and was actually acting rather cocky.”

 

“Dr. Plummer and Dr. Dodo took the bull by the horns and the young woman that came to you today is going to be in a new foster home.”

 

“Dr. Trout wants to see the three of you at the Central Office immediately to sign full time professional contracts.  All three of you have been certified by the state, and there will be no problem.  The only thing is that you will need to do is service the summer school's students over the summer.  There will be ten of our schools that will be providing classes in the morning only.  That will give you time to make plans for the fall term, but I’m thinking that the plans will go by the wayside when you get everything in full swing.”

 

“Dr. Roosevelt looked at me and Mrs. Del Rio, “Mark and DoDo, I think after today, you can see why you need to be full time.  I’m sure that Mr. Franklin will readily agree to the terms.”

 

I think Wilt surprised everyone, “Dr. Roosevelt, I thank you for you show of confidence.  This job is going to be very difficult for me because I am going to see myself as having been in many of the same situations as the young people who are experiencing problems.  I come to this job with a lot bad memories.  I’m guessing my background is very different from Nano Mark’s and Dr. Del Rio’s.”

 

“Wilt, that is exactly why you will make such a good team.  Now get your backsides down to the Central Office and sign your new contracts.  I understand that you have a PTO meeting to attend tonight.  

 

To be continued...

 

 

Editor's Notes:  Well, that certainly turned out nicely.  I think that school district will benefit greatly from that particular team being there.

 

How often do we have to point out that the most important thing in a child's life is to be loved and to know that they are loved? 

 

Then they need to know that they are respected and that they are important to someone.  Without one or more of those things being present in a child's mind, they will become very depressed, or angry or both, and terrible things will result. Again, the one that is paramount is the knowledge of being loved.

 

Mark, Wilt, and DoDo are all very perceptive and are very well equipped to handle the situations that will arise.  I hope the school system will be ready for what is going to happen when they get started.

 

Go, guys, GO!!!

 

By the way, I WANT MORE!!!!!!!
