The Interviews

When we arrived at the lake, the ten young boys were off the wagon before you could count to ten, and their clothes were laying on piles.  The newcomers watched as Benji led the boys to the platform and dove into the lake, followed by the other nine boys.

Benji swam to the rest of us, “Okay, you old men and giants, let’s get with it and get in here so we can have some fun.”

Denny, Cole, and I were the first to join the boys.  Clark and Larry followed and the boys were watching, as we dove into the lake.  It appeared as if the others were somewhat reluctant,  Benji got out of the water and went to talk to the six holdouts.  He started to talk to them, and Mr. Schumacher stood and shed his clothes and dove into the lake.

Benji looked at the five teenagers who were not moving and issued an ultimatum.  “Either you get undressed and join us, or you can leave and start walking back to Summerhill.  We’re not going to have any cowards riding around with us.”

Dan and David stood and started to shed their clothes as did Tim and Chad.  The four of them dove into the water, and they had some impressive bodies.”

That left only Greg sitting there by himself.  I got out of the water and went to him.  “Greg, is there a problem why you won’t join us?”

Greg looked at me, “Dr. Christiansen, I thought I was coming here for a job interview, not to make a fool of myself.”

“Greg, why do you think that you would be making a fool of yourself?”

“Dr. Christiansen, I don’t know how to swim.”

“Greg, shed the clothes, the lake isn’t that deep.  No one said that you had to be able to swim.  Just walk into the lake and pretend as if you are just a little shy.”

“Dr. Christianson, after the cocks that I’ve seen, I’m more than a little shy, I’m embarrassed.”

“Listen to me, Greg, it’s not the size that counts, it’s how you use what you have.”

Benji yelled, “Super giant, aren’t you going to go swimming?”

Greg stood and shed his clothes.  I looked at him, “Young man, you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.  Your penis just looks small because of the size of the rest of your body.”

When we walked into the water, Jimmy and Johnny swam up to Greg.  Jimmy grinned, “We knew you could do it, Cousin Greg.”

Benji was quick to pick up on what Jimmy had said, “Jimmy, why did you call him, Cousin Greg?”

Jimmy shrugged, “Because he’s Mommy’s cousin.  We don’t get to see him very often.  Cousin Greg, are you going to work here like Uncle Danny and Uncle David.”

I intervened, “No, guys, he wants to see if he can get a job at the college.  Benji, please go tell Uncle Clark and Dad Cole that I would like to speak with them.  Greg, let’s go talk at the picnic table.”

Cole came and sat beside me, and Clark sat beside Greg.  “Clark, Greg is applying for the position of Karen’s assistant.”

Clark, being the smart ass that he can be, frowned, “Is that as an administrative assistant or as a body guard for you and me or what?”

Cole looked at Greg, “Greg, I thought you had a scholarship to go to college and play basketball?”

“I did, but I broke my leg my senior year.  It took two surgeries to get it to heal correctly.  The colleges withdrew the scholarship offers.  I spent the last year going to business school so I could find a job and eventually go to college.  I haven’t been able to find any type of work, because no one is hiring and the only transportation I have is my motorbike so I’m limited as to where I can work.  My dad works on a farm;  he and Mom can’t be of much assistance because I’m the oldest of seven children.”

I looked at Greg, “I wouldn’t have known that you have had a broken leg.  You don’t seem to have a have a limp, and you sure do look as if you’re in good shape.”

“Dr. Christiansen, I’ve been trying very hard to stay in shape.  I’ve been running five miles every morning.”

Clark asked, “Greg, would you be interested in playing basketball at the junior college level?  We’re thinking of having a team at Harwood.  I assume you know Tim from school.”

Greg nodded, “Both Tim and Dan were on the basketball team when I broke my leg.  They’re both very competitive players.”

I made a command decision, “Greg, would you be able to start to work tomorrow morning?”

Greg looked as if he had been frozen in time, he finally took a deep breath, “Dr. Christiansen, I’d kiss you if Cole wasn’t here.  He’d probably deck me if I did.  Sir, what should I wear?”

Clark  chuckled, “Greg, you might want to wear some clothes, otherwise the traffic in and out of President Christiansen’s office would be non-stop.  I’m going to be wearing a short sleeve dress shirt with a tie and khaki slacks.  Doug is the only person people expect to be dressed in a suit.”

Greg had one more question, “I know this seems mercenary, but approximately how much would I be making?”

I shrugged my shoulders, “Greg, I’m not putting you off, but I really have no idea, until we talk to the Human Resources people tomorrow.”

I stood as did Greg, and I shook his hand, “Welcome aboard, young man.  Greg, how tall are you, anyway?”

Greg grinned, “I’m within a gnat’s eyelash of being 6’6”.”

“Greg, would you please tell Dan and David that Cole and I’d like to speak to them?”

“Yes, Sir.”

Clark stood, “I take it that I’m not needed for this interview.”

“Clark, after what we just heard, I think you might need to be involved with the second half of the conversation.  You probably shouldn’t be involved with the initial discussion.  Why don’t you ask Denny to join us?”

Dan and David arrived and I invited them to sit down, “I’ve asked that your brother join us.”

When Denny was seated, I went straight to the issue.   “Dan and David, Denny tells me that the two of you are going to be substituting  for him for the next two weeks.  He also informed me that the two of you think you are in love.”

Both guys started to blush, “There is one very important thing that I want you to make sure you do, and that is to keep anything sexual that you do behind closed doors.  Under no circumstances do I want our sons to see you having sex.”

Dan nodded, “Mr. Christiansen and Cole, Denny has made it very clear that he would castrate us if we didn’t do that.”

Denny shook his head no, “That’s not what I said at all, I told them if they didn’t comply that I would squeeze their balls so hard that they be talking like girls.”

Cole chuckled, “Gees, Denny, from what I observed you sure are going to have your hands full.”

I changed the subject, “Dan, I have a proposition for you.  I would like for you to consider attending Harwood community college and play on the basketball team that we are planning to have.  I understand that you chose not to go to college at least until David could go with you.”

David looked at Denny, “Do you tell Mr. Christiansen everything?”

Dan answered, “Dr. Christiansen, I don’t think that I can even afford to go the Harwood Community College.”

I looked at the two teenagers, “Look, I’ll cut you a deal.  If you do a good job while Denny, Collie and the twins are away, I’d be willing to provide full time employment for the summer.  Between Denny and helping Patty take care of the boys.  I’m sure that we can keep your asses busy.  We’ll talk more later.”

I stood and both Dan and David hugged me.  Denny came and hugged Cole and me. “Thanks guys, this will provide a big boost to their self images.”

I dove into the lake and went to where Mr. Schumacher was standing talking to Larry and Clark.  “Craig, do you want to talk here or at the table?”

Craig nodded, “It might be good if we went to the picnic table.  Clark, you might want to join us.”  He motioned to Chad and Tim, “Why don’t you join us?”

When the five of us were seated, I looked at Craig, “Sir, I have no idea what you wish to talk about, so fire away.”

Craig frowned, “To put it bluntly, Chad couldn’t keep his dick in his pants, and finds himself in the same situation as Tim told us he was in.  Tim informed us that you are planning to have a basketball team, and that  Dr. Lewis is going to be the coach.  If the college were to be able to find a way to admit Chad, I would be willing to provide the funds for ten basketball scholarships.”

I looked at Chad and Tim, “Do you think the two of you could keep your penises under control long enough to get decent grades so that perhaps a major college would be willing to offer you a scholarship?”

Tim took a deep breath, “My parents have issued an ultimatum.  I either apply myself to the books, or I’m out on my ear.”

Chad chuckled, “Gees, it sounds as if your parents have been talking to my parents.  Dr. Christiansen, I will do my best to get good grades.  I have let my family down enough.  I understand that you know my maternal grandparents.  They were devastated when I couldn’t get accepted into a major college.”

“Craig, it’s ironic that this should be happening this evening.  There are two other basketball players here tonight who are looking to attend Harwood and both are in need of any financial aide they can get.”

Tim nodded, “Actually, Dr. Christiansen, there are five basketball players here tonight.  The problem is that Dave is going to be a senior in high school.”

Chad took a deep breath, “Doctor Christiansen, I have two friends who are in a similar predicament.  Can I have them come talk to you?”

“Chad, I’m not the  Dean of Admissions, Clark is, at least until next Tuesday.  If the Board of Trustees will buy into what I want to do, Dr. Lewis will be my vice president in charge of facilities and the Athletic Director.  There will be two new people taking over the positions of Dean of Admissions and Dean of Students.”

Clark nodded, “Chad, why don’t you and your friends come to see me at my office tomorrow at one o’clock, so we get the paperwork started?”

Craig answered before Chad could, “Clark, I’ll have them there.”

I looked at my watch, “Guys, we need to be getting back to the house.  There are at least eight young boys who need to get to bed, since they have school tomorrow.  I stood and whistled and our boys started the exodus from the lake.  Denny had thought ahead and brought towels so we could get somewhat dry.

When we arrived back at the house, I went to get the sack of coins for Larry to take back to Atlanta with him.  “Larry, take your time.  These, again, belong to the college.  Just do the best that you can for us.”

As Larry was leaving, I heard Clark say, “I’ll see you Saturday morning, guys.”

Craig Schumacher came up to Cole and me, “Guys, thanks for inviting us here.  I can see why my mother-in-law is so taken in with the two of you.  We walked him to a car as Benji was walking with Chad, “Gentle Giant Two you be good, you hear?”

Chad grabbed Benji and picked him up.  “I should be the person telling you to be good.”

Benji did a patented Benji job.  He kissed Chad on the mouth,
“Don’t worry, Gentle Giant, I’m always good.”

Greg came and hugged Cole and me, “This is the first time in a long time that I feel like things are going to turn out okay.”

Clark was standing next to us, “Greg, why don’t you meet with the rest of us in my office at one so we can get your registration paperwork started,”

Clark turned to Dan, “Dan, you will need to be in my office at one as well, so we can take care of the paperwork for you to get registered.”

“But Dr. Lewis, I can’t afford to go to college,”

I interrupted, “Dan, it would behoove you to be there, or I may rethink my offer of a full time summer job.”

Dan threw up his hands, “I’ll be there.”

Greg was on his motorbike and Benji was talking to him, “Biggest Giant, isn’t that a little small for you.  Don’t you need a motorcycle or something bigger?”

“Benji, I don’t have the money to buy anything bigger, yet.  This is fine as long as the weather is nice.”

Benji turned around, “Dad Cole, give the Biggest Giant the keys to your old truck so he has something he can get back and forth in, if it’s raining.  Look at the tires on his bike.  He’s too big to be riding this little bike”

“Yes, your royal highness.  Greg, come with me.”

Greg, crawled off the motorbike and followed Cole to the shed where Cole’s trucks were parked.  We watched as the old truck slowly approached where we standing.  Greg and Cole exited and put the motorbike in the bed of the truck.  Greg had tears running down his face.  He started toward our four boys.  He grabbed Benji and hugged him.”

Benji kissed Greg, “My three brothers told me to do it.”

Before Greg left, he hugged all four of the boys and it was apparent that they were enamored with him.  He hugged Cole and me again but said nothing. 

As he was pulling away Tim looked at Benji, “Benji, why don’t you tell your Dad Cole to give me his new truck.”

Clark put his hand on Tim’s mouth, “Never mind, Benji; the spoiled brat got a new Mustang for his graduation present.  Come on, Tim, we need to leave so the boys can get to bed.  I‘ll see you in the morning, boss.”

Cole and I took the boys upstairs.  Benji looked at us, “Dads, we really don’t need a shower since we were swimming.  Look, our fingernails are already clean.  We can shampoo and condition our hair tomorrow night, so it looks good for Uncle Trent’s graduation and wedding.  Dads, I really like the Biggest Giant.  We need to teach him how to swim.  He said he has three little brothers.  Maybe he could bring them sometime.”

When the boys were settled, Cole and I were sitting in the living room.  Well, in reality, Cole was leaning back against me between my legs as we were watching an Atlanta Braves game on the television.  He looked up at me, “Dougie, I think we made a friend for life today.  Just don’t fall in love with Greg.  I don’t know him very well, but I’m guessing he hasn’t had an easy life.  I wonder if I’ll ever get the truck back.”

“Cole, was the truck that important to you?”

“Dougie, it had a lot of sentimental value for me.  I think it was the day that you gave me the truck that I fell in love with you.”

“Cole, you aren’t going to fall out of love me now that the truck is gone, are you?”

“Nope, you silly, now that it’s gone I realize that it is you and the boys who are the most important to me.”

We heard a voice, “Do you have a minute to talk?”

I answered, “Of course, Denny, is there a problem?”

Denny sat down, “You’ve thrown Danny into a turmoil.  First, you gave him a full time job and then you tell him he’s going to be going to college in the fall.  Sir, he's concerned how he will be able to pay for college.”

I sat up, “Denny, Mr. Schumacher has agreed to pay for ten basketball scholarships, and Dan will be getting one of them.  Please don’t say anything until we get the guys enrolled.  I gather Dan was a good student in high school, so there shouldn’t be a problem.  Let’s see what happens after the guys meet with Clark tomorrow.  I honestly have no idea what to expect.  When are you, Collie and the boys going to be leaving for your vacation?”

Denny grinned, “One of the mares is getting ready to deliver.   I’m not sure that Dan and Davey are ready to handle that by themselves yet, so we’re planning to leave early on Saturday morning.”

I stood, “Guys, I’ll be right back, I need to go check something.”

When I returned, Denny was getting ready to leave.  I hugged him and handed him a check, “Here, take this and make sure that the four of you have a great time.”

Denny looked at the check. “Doug, I can’t take this.  You’re already paying me very adequately.”

“Either you take it, or you’ll be looking for new employment.  Denny, you, Collie and the twins are who make Summerhill work. Please take the money and know that Cole, the four sons and I very much appreciate everything that you do.”

Denny hugged Cole and me and had tears in his eyes.  “Guys, you are the greatest bosses a person could ask for.”

After Denny had departed, Cole pushed me against the wall, “Listen you prick, you need to stop making people cry.  The carpet is going have tear stains.  You know how expensive it is to have the carpets cleaned.  Get your butt upstairs.  You need to be punished.”

To be continued...

 Editor's Notes:  Everyone seems to be having a wonderful time.  I don't even think that Doug will be to upset with whatever punishment that Cole has in mind for him.  It looks as if some really good guys will get to attend collage and have a better future.  Sounds good to me.
