Chapter 16

During his interrogation of the students who were in the gym at the time of the shooting, one of them offered Mac this information providing that he would not reveal his source.  Mac agreed.  Four of the dead students were the four who beat up Johnny.  Those four had asked him to join them, and thank God he had declined.

“Look,” the boy said. “I’ve got a gay brother.  He’s the greatest guy in the world.  His partner is a professional baseball player.  I can’t tell you who for obvious reasons.  I really love both of them.  I never cared that Johnny was gay, but they were always picking on him.  The worst thing is that Mr. Sawyers, our gym teacher, actually egged them on.  It’s easy to see why Johnny went after the teacher too.  I think the other victims were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

“Thanks son,” Mac said.  “You have been a big help, and I promise not to reveal my source.”

“You know,” the student said.  “I never knew what I wanted to be in life, but I think someday, I’d like to have your job.”

They shook hands and the youngster left.  Mac wasn’t sure why, but after that interview, he was able to find closure in both the hate crime and the school massacre, and he felt that he could now move on. 

We had invited Izzy, Gloria, Marlene and Billy to dinner on the Saturday night following the massacre.  Jake was temporarily alone again, and he was joining us also.  We asked Robert and Bob to stop in after dinner for dessert.

“I think your place is beautiful,” Gloria said after I took her, Izzy and Billy on a tour.  “I just love your view.” They all fell in love with Jake too.  He proudly dragged out pictures of Jonathan, and Gloria oohed and aahed.

I almost slipped and started to tell Izzy that Tom would be living at the other end of the hall, but I stopped myself just in time.  After dinner, Bob and Robert turned up.  They had been pre warned not to mention Tom and Dominick.  We adults got into an animated conversation in the living room about the economy and politics, while Jake took Billy out on the terrace.  I think the mentoring was underway.

Mac volunteered to make the coffee and to set up the dining room table for dessert.  We were serving a variety of fruit turnovers.  Robert insisted on helping.  He and Mac had formed a special bond since the shootings at the high school.  I think that it was a little part of them that Bob and I could never share.  When everything was ready, I called the teenagers in from the terrace.  They smiled at each other and embraced.  “I can’t wait to meet Jonathan,” I heard Billy say.

The dinner went smoothly and I was pleased.  I caught Izzy staring at Mac all through the evening.  There was a look of admiration on his face, and I knew that he had definitely added Mac to his family, and maybe by extension, our son, Jake.

When they were leaving, Izzy took me aside.  “Thank you, Wallie,” he said.  “I was right.  You and Mac are terrific role models for Billy.  I love you both.”  He kissed me on my cheek.  Bob and Robert stayed awhile.  They helped us clean up, and sat and chatted for some time before they went upstairs.

I was sure that Jake had every intention of sleeping over and sharing our bed.  After Bob and Robert left, and we were alone, I asked, “What did you talk to Billy about?”

“Well, I found out that he’s not entirely innocent.  A couple of years ago, just before his sixteenth birthday, his History teacher asked him to stay after class.  He wanted to discuss an essay Billy had written.  At first it was a real teacher-student thing as they exchanged views on Billy’s conclusions concerning the economic factors which precipitated the Civil War.  Billy said that his teacher (he wouldn’t give me his name to protect him) got really excited because Billy had offered him a new insight into the war.  He asked Billy to come home with him.  He said he had a bunch of books on the Civil War that he knew Billy would enjoy, and the teacher promised to drive him home afterward.

“When they got to the teacher’s apartment, Billy was shocked to see photographs of male nudes prominently displayed.  The teacher apologized profusely.  He told Billy that he had forgotten that they could be offensive to some people and Billy told him that they were beautiful and he really wanted to see them all.  The teacher took him around the apartment and of course the best pictures were in the bedroom.  In these pictures, two or three of the nudes were engaged in sex.  Billy got hard and the teacher had to notice.  Billy told him that he was gay and said he didn’t want to be a virgin any more.  He begged the teacher to have sex with him.

“The teacher told Billy that he was underage, and he could go to jail if they had sex.  He hugged Billy, and thanked him but he told Billy that it could never happen.   Billy felt let down.  The next semester Billy heard that the teacher had transferred to another school.”

“So what’s next?” I asked.

“Well, Billy is coming over to my apartment tomorrow morning.  He’s an awesome kid, and I’m looking forward to it.”

“It’s not that I don’t approve,” I said.  “But Billy is a minor.

“We discussed that.  He’ll be eighteen in three weeks.  We have agreed to wait until then, but in the meantime, we just want to talk and be friends so that he will be comfortable when the time comes.  Now can we cut the gab, and can you two guys continue my education, which is sorely lacking.”

Mac laughed.  “It’s hardly lacking, young stud.  You are an expert.”  The words weren’t even out of Mac’s mouth, and Jake was naked in our bed.  I was next in because I still had my socks on and took the time to remove them, so when Mac jumped in bed, he had to push me aside to get his tongue on such a delectable under twenty cock. To punish him, (LOL) I climbed behind him and entered him with only spit for lubrication.  I was amazed at how easily I went in.  As Mac sucked Jake and I fucked him, I reached over Mac and grabbed his cock and started to stroke it.  We all came fairly close together, laughing and giggling like the kids we were.

Somehow the days passed and it was time for Tom and Dominick to arrive for spring break late one Friday evening.  Mac called me at the office about 4 PM to inform me that he was in the middle of a murder investigation, and I would have to pick the guys up by myself.  Izzy was in my office when I got the call, and he insisted on going with me.  “I can’t wait to give Tommy a great big hug and meet his college professor,” he said.  I didn’t have the heart to turn him down.

Izzy took the commuter train with me and we picked up my car at the station.  Driving to the airport I told Izzy that Jake’s boyfriend was also coming in with Tom and Dom.  “How wonderful for my Jake,” he said.  MY JAKE? I was flabbergasted.

The first one I saw running to the security gate was Jonathan.  He almost knocked me over in his enthusiastic greeting.  I practically had to pull him off me. 

“Izzy,” I said, “this is Jake’s partner Jonathan.”  Then in an effort to further impress my boss, I added.  “He’s studying engineering at UB.”

Jonathan held out his hand, but Izzy embraced him in a bear hug.  “It’s wonderful to meet you,” he said to Jonathan.  “I already love Jake, so I can’t exclude you.”  Jonathan was more than overwhelmed.  Finally Tom and Dominick reached the gate.  While Dominick embraced me and gave me a kiss on the lips, Tom wisely hugged Izzy and knocked the breath out of him.  He then gave me a quick peck on a cheek, and said to Izzy, “I want you to meet Dominick.  We’ve been together close to ten years.”

Dominick and Izzy shook hands warmly and Izzy said to Tom, “Shame on you.  All these years you kept this man out of my life, and in a way, you and Wallie lied to me.  I would fire you both if I didn’t love you like you were my own kids.”

“We’re both sorry, Izzy,” I said.  “First of all, neither of us had any idea about the other, and second of all, we were both afraid of how you would take it.  You were pretty vocal about your displeasure with homosexuals.”

“Pish tush,” Izzy said.  “You both know I’m not the most diplomatic person in the world, and if there’s one thing you guys should have known is how much I love you.  It wouldn’t have made any difference in how I feel about you.  Now, I called ahead, and Gloria is making dinner for all of us.  No arguments!  So let’s get going.”

On the way to Izzy’s house, Izzy made Tom promise to come to the office Monday after house hunting, even if it was for just a little while.  “Some vacation you gave me, boss,” Tom joked.

When we got to Izzy’s house, Gloria gushed over all of us and was truly happy to meet Dominick and Jonathan.  Of course, she knew Tom.  “Jonathan,” she said.  “You see that door over there.  It leads to a small library.  Open it up please.”

Jonathan opened the door as if he expected a lion to jump out, and a lion did.  Out jumped Jake, and wrestled Jonathan to the floor.  “I called him right after Izzy called me,” Gloria explained.

The two young men ate and ran.  Jake had his car there, and they were free to go.  “Don’t be strangers,” Gloria yelled after them.  “Our door is always open.”

We three stayed for a polite amount of time.  Finally I suggested we go home so that Tom and Dominick could get some rest and steel themselves for a busy day of house hunting.

I was disappointed that Mac was not home when we arrived.  I knew that he never answered his phone when he was working, so we would have to be patient and wait for his call.  I got out of my work clothes, and stripped to my shorts.  Tom and Dom got out of their travel clothes and also stripped to their shorts.  I made coffee and we sat down in the living room waiting for Mac to call.

“I’ll make it look good on Monday and I’ll come into the office after lunch,” Tom said.  “I’ll tell Izzy that we didn’t look too hard, and we bought a mirror image of your apartment at the opposite end of the floor.  I’ll have to put some time in at the office, but if I remind him that I’m on vacation and want to show Dominick New York, he’ll understand.  Besides, I can play the religion card.  This is Easter weekend.”

“Dominick, you can use my car to go to your Brooklyn College interview on Monday.  I’ll write out driving directions for you,” I said.

“I got directions on Mapquest,” Dom answered.  “I’d appreciate if you would verify them for me.”

“You know,” Dominick said, “Travel always poops me.  I think I’ll go to bed.”

“Okay, honey,” Tom agreed.  “I’ll be in soon.”

“Let’s all turn in,” I said.  “I have no way of knowing when Mac will get home.” 

As it turned out, he came home just before midnight. I was still awake in bed, watching a really old movie on TV.  Mac leaned over me and kissed me tenderly. 

“I love you,” he said as if to reassure me.

“I love you more,” I answered.

“Do you love me enough to make me a snack while I shower?  I always feel so dirty after work.”

“You’ve got it,” I said.  I jumped out of bed wearing only my birthday suit, and went into the kitchen.  Thanks to Jake, we always have lots of deli in the fridge.  I was preparing a roast beef sandwich when Tom came in the kitchen.

“What’s going on?” he asked.

“Mac’s home and I’m making him a sandwich,” I answered.

“Hmmm! That looks good,” Tom hummed.

“Sit,” I said.  “I’ll make a sandwich for each of us.  “How’s Dom?”

“He’s snoring happily away.”

Mac joined us in a little while.  He grabbed Tom and nearly broke his bones, hugging him so hard.  The three of us enjoyed our repast, and finally we went to bed.  When Tom and Dom woke up in the morning, Mac and I had already gone to work.  I left a train schedule on the kitchen counter should Tom wish to follow through on his decision to come into the office after lunch.

Dominick scanned through our refrigerator and poured orange juice for the pair of them.  He also made bacon and eggs with toast.  After they cleaned up the kitchen, they showered.  Of course they began to make love in the shower. They kissed and fondled, stroked and teased, until Dominick turned off the taps.  “Let’s get back in bed,” he said.  “We have all morning.  In fact, we have all day if you change your mind about going into the office.”

As soon as they got into bed, Dominick begged Tom to fuck him.  Tom wasted no time, lubing his cock and Dom’s ass.  He entered Dominick with absolutely no resistance.  “Go slow,” Dom begged.  Make it last as long as possible.  This feels so good.”

Tom lay as still as possible with Dominick lying on his stomach below him.  “Yes, that’s it,” Dom said.  “Try not to move.”

They lay still like this for a very long time with Tom taking little nips of Dom’s neck.  “Thank you God,” Tom whispered in Dom’s ear.

“What are you thanking Him for?” Dominick asked.

“For you,” Tom replied.

“You can fuck me now,” Dominick advised Tom. 

Tom came into the office at about 1:30 PM.  The entire staff jumped up to greet him.  Izzy was smiling from ear to ear.  So, how did the house hunting go?” he asked.

“You and Wallie better sit down,” Tom began his act.  “Dominick and I wasted no time.  We bought the first apartment we saw.  Wallie, we’re in 4J at the opposite end of the hall from you.”

I screeched with joy, hoping that my acting was as good as Tom’s.

“That’s wonderful, wonderful.  I’m so happy for you.” Izzy said.

“Show Tom to the office we prepared for him, Wallie” Izzy said to me.  “I know he’s on vacation, so don’t pass any work on to him, yet.  But it wouldn’t hurt to fill him in on some of our present projects.”

I did just that, but of course, the two of us could not help ourselves.  We immediately began to plan our marketing strategy.  We got so lost in our work, we had no idea what time it was until I heard Izzy’s voice.  “Don’t you two workaholics have people waiting for you at home?  Before you go, here’s a present.  He handed Tom an envelope.  “Here’s tickets to two Broadway musicals.  There are four tickets to each show so Wallie and Mac can go also.”

Tom and I rushed out of the office.  We missed my regular train, but the next one was only twenty minutes later.  When I drove into the parking garage, I could see that Mac’s car was already there.  I felt the hood and it was still warm, so I knew that he had just come home.

When we entered the door, the apartment smelled like a wonderful Italian restaurant.  The dining room table was set for six, and Dominick was putting the finishing touches to a gourmet meal.

“When you move in, I’ll expect this every night,” I laughed.  “Where’s Mac?”

“He’s showering,” Dom answered.

“I think I’ll join him and change into something more comfortable,” I said.

Tom added, “Me too.  Change clothes, I mean.”

While we were changing clothes, the doorbell rang.  Dominick let Jake and Jonathan in.  “Sorry we’re late,” Jonathan said, but Billy came over after school to meet me.  Jake was still at work, so I verbally instructed Billy in some sex techniques.  I sent him home with a shit eaten grin on his face.  I envy the lucky bastards he couples with.  He’ll be eighteen next Sunday.  We aught to plan a party for him.”

“If I know you two insatiable studs, it will probably be a sex party,” Dominick remarked.

“I hadn’t thought of that,” Jake said.  “I think it’s a terrific idea.”

Eating dinner that evening with my family, all the people in my life who I loved the most, I was filled once again with that euphoria of pure happiness.  Then the cloud enveloped me.  “It’s too good to be true,” I heard the voice of doom warning me.  But at long last, I paid no attention!
