The afternoon was another surprise in that the restaurant could have survived nicely if Darrel had hired a decent chef. I’m not sure how he managed to survive if the patrons never said anything about the food. Tomorrow while Ronnie is working with Derek, I’ll talk more with Darrel about the restaurant and the hotel about the lease.

I finished my coffee then stretched out on the bed. I was still running things through my head as I felt myself getting drowsy. The next thing I remember was hearing the voices of the kids as they came back from lunch. I yawned as I tried to clear the cobwebs from my head.

Chapter 32

“Come on Daddy,” Angel said in a chipper voice. “You need to get a shower and call Alex.”

I blinked my eyes and got them accustomed to the light in the room. “Alright sweetie, I hope you didn’t fill up on a big lunch.”

I got up and hurried to the bathroom so I could let out the cup of coffee I had earlier. I came back into the room and dug into my pants pocket to find Alex’s phone number. I looked at the clock and it was 4 so I told him we’d be leaving here about 5. I got the name of the restaurant from Jay and told Alex. I told him we’d meet him there about 5:30 and to bring his appetite.

Ronnie was at the microwave heating water and some tea bags. I thought he was making us some hot tea then never underestimate my kid. I watched him work for about 10 minutes then he took a pitcher he’d bought and poured all the tea in it. He tossed Jay the ice bucket as he added more water to the tea. “Can you get me a big bucket of ice bro? I’m making us some iced tea.”

I waited until Jay returned with the ice then drank down a glass of tea. Even using a microwave, that boy can cook. I got some clean underwear then headed for the bathroom to shower and shave. 20 minutes later, I returned ready for a night out. I called the restaurant and requested a somewhat private area for our party. I had another glass of Ronnie’s tea then we headed for the restaurant. Traffic was a bear and to top it off, there was an accident that delayed our arrival and we were about 10 minutes late getting to the restaurant. Alex was waiting patiently for us inside and I thought I sensed he thought we weren’t coming. “Sorry we’re late Alex, traffic was a mess.”

We shook hands and he got reacquainted with the family. The hostess took us to our table and I did get a nice secluded area so we could all talk without disturbing the other guests. When we were all seated, a young waiter came over and brought us menus and asked if we would like something to drink. Alex got a cocktail so I decided to join him. The younger ones got iced tea.

We talked a little while waiting on the drinks and the one thing I noticed again was the fact that Alex didn’t have a ring on his hand. “Alex, what happened with all the ladies that were all over you when you were younger? I’d have thought one of them would have sunk their hooks into you.”

The boys looked over when I asked my question. Alex took a sip of his drink and looked like he was cornered. He glanced over at the others and realized he had their undivided attention. “Uh well Miguel, I guess I was more into the academic scene than I was the females.”

Jay looked over and shook his head. “Alex, we can’t live by books alone.”

“I don’t see a girl on your arm Jay,” Alex retorted. “You’re a good looking guy. It seems the only one of you attached is your younger brother.”

I knew Jay would have no problems telling Alex about Ronnie. I just didn’t know how he’d react when he heard the 3 of the guys at the table were gay. “Well Alex, I can’t say that Jay isn’t necessarily unattached. He is going into his senior year then will continue on to Medical School.”

Alex’s eyebrows rose when I said that. “Oh? I would have figured he would have brought her along for dinner.”

Now this was getting into a real touchy situation. “How long have you been teaching now buddy? You should be ready to settle down?”

I saw Alex’s face drop. I’d seen that before on more than one occasion. “What is it my friend? I’ve know you for too many years. We used to tell each other everything.”

I looked at Jay and Ronnie and they had their hands on the table. When Alex looked over, they slid their hands together and I saw them give each other a little squeeze. Alex saw that then seemed to relax. “Hey Alex,” Jay said smiling. “It’s ok dude. We're pretty open minded in this family.”

Ronnie leaned over and kissed Jay on the cheek as Alex smiled. I think he just figured out what was going on with them. “Miguel, I haven’t settled down for several reasons.”

“Geez Alex, you don’t need to tell the world you’re in a relationship. It’s no one’s business.”

Alex shook his head then sipped his drink. “I’d lose my tenure Miguel, you know that.”

Alex was about to continue when the waiter came over. “Have y’all decided on your entrée or would y’all like a few more minutes?”

“I believe we’ve decided,” I said looking around the table.

The waiter then went around and took everyone’s order then Alex continued talking. “The school would crucify me if they ever found out.”

“How would they?” Marco asked as he sipped his tea. “Are you or he going to go running around announcing it? I doubt it, so how would they know.”

Angel got into the conversation. “If people see you together, you’re room mates. What happens behind closed doors is private.”

We continued talking for a little while then our dinner was served. During the meal Ronnie looked at Alex and asked, “So is there someone you like Alex?”

Alex had to swallow his mouthful hard on that question. “Um, well yeah there is. It’s nothing serious and we’re casual friends right now. Neither one of us is looking to get serious.”

I finished my mouthful then sipped my drink. “That’s great man. Do you think we can meet the lucky fellow when we’re here?”

Alex turned red as he almost spit out his mouthful of food. I was wondering what was going through his head as he composed himself. “Uh well gee Miguel, I don’t know.”

Marco chimed in next. “We don’t really have anything on tap for tomorrow Alex. Ronnie and Dad are going to be busy but the rest of us will be free.”

Alex was looking like he either had ants in his pants or was trying to find a hold to crawl into. “What is it Alex? You look like your pants are on fire.”

Alex didn’t answer but continued to eat his dinner. We were all wondering why he was acting like this all of a sudden. Finally after we’d finished our meal Alex spoke. “Jay, before I say anything, I need assurances from you that you will not say anything.”

This was getting interesting. Why would he ask Jay a question like this? “You have my word sir.”

Alex thought for a moment before speaking. “Well I guess it’s OK then. It’s your friend Jay.”

It was Jay’s turn to almost spew his tea. “You like Doug Cruthers? Does he know this?”

Alex smiled then nodded his head. “Yes he does. We’ve talked about this at length and neither of us is ready for a relationship yet considering he is in my class.”

Jay had a confused look on his face. “So what’s with his saying you’re a tough teacher?”

I knew Alex expected a lot from himself so it was only natural he’d expect the same from his students. “I know Alex son, he would expect nothing less then he expected of himself when he was a student.”

Jay smiled when he heard this. “Ronnie and I are going to be getting a place this summer.”

It then dawned on me that when he went into Medical School he would lose the use of the dorm. “Well guys, it looks like I’ve forgotten one thing. When you start Med School son, you’ll need your own place because they don’t have dorms for the students. I’ll see about getting you a place and then when you’ve graduated, I can either sell it or rent it out for other Med Students.”

Alex looked lost at this. “I appreciate this guys, but we don’t know what we’re going to do from one day to another. Maybe over the summer when we’re both on break we can talk more. The idea of having a place neutral is inviting. It would be a good place for us to talk and not have to worry about who might see us or something like that.”

We talked a little longer then I could see Alex was showing signs of getting tired. I got the check and paid it as he and the kids were still chatting. We headed outside then I gave Alex a hug. “Hang in there my friend. Things will work out for you. You look tired and we’ve had a long day so we’ll pass on desert tonight, but we’ll be in touch.”

Alex returned the hug then went and gave one to each of the kids. We got into the Blazer then returned to the hotel. Steven and Angel went down to their room while Jay and Ronnie waited to come in with Marco and me. As I was getting out the key, I noticed Jay and Ronnie cuddling Marco. I had the feeling they missed Marco in more ways than one. I got the door open and we all came inside. Jay and Ronnie were giving Marco some very passionate kisses. By the way they were acting; I knew where Marco would be spending the night. “Um guys, could you take it easy for little bit before Marco has a major accident?”

All three turned a few shades of red at my request then Marco headed into the bathroom to empty his bladder and hope his raging boner would go down. Jay came over and gave me a big hug. “Thanks for the dinner Dad. I was really blown away when Alex said he had a crush on Doug. I really hope the school doesn’t find out or give them a hard time if they do. Speaking of Alex; when are you going to find that someone special?”

That question took me by surprise with all that The Foundation had going and now getting the restaurant for Ronnie. “As soon as I can fit it into my schedule son. You know what we’ve been doing and with the traveling, it’s not really fair to try to start a relationship.”

“I know Dad,” Jay said while pouring a glass of tea. “But you also have Angel to see to things so you’re not quite so busy.”

I hung my jacket up in the closet then fixed myself some tea. “Now, your sister is staying in Blacksburg with Steven. Do you think it’s fair to them if Angel was trotting off at the drop of a hat?”

“I thought she wanted to work with you and The Foundation?”

“She does son,” I countered. “She’s also still a blushing bride and wants to be with her husband. You and Ronnie had your high school years and before together with all the romance that went with it. They didn’t really decide on getting romantically involved until they were both about 16 so you need to cut them both a little slack son.”

“I guess you’re right Dad,” Jay relented. “I guess we all just want to see you happy.”

I had removed my pants and was hanging them up in the closet when I heard that. “What makes you all think for a moment I’m not happy? I’m watching my children grow and see their dreams starting to come true plus the orphanage and hotel.”

Marco was listening while changing his clothes. “Um guys, I think you need to cut Pop some slack now. He is happy with his life. I know we come first and even as adults we will still be first in his life. I know what Pop is missing though. I know he’s missing the little children running constantly in and out of the house and being able to hold them. Don’t you remember when he returned from Receife after his last visit?”

Jay was thinking now after Marco’s question. “Yeah bro I do, but what does that have to do with finding someone?”

Marco was still in his underwear when he walked over to Jay. He was about to answer that question when Ronnie spoke up. “Baby, Dad misses the children. We’re grown and are away at school. Well, I was home and so was Angel until she went to be with Steven.”

I could never put anything past Ronnie. He was quiet but don’t think for a minute he wasn’t observant. “Ronnie is right son, the house is going to be empty for the first time in many years and to be quite honest, I’m not sure how I’m going to handle that. There are projects going and that will occupy my time and yes, Angel will be coming with me when she’s needed. I know I can’t wait until Steven and Angel have a child but I know that’s not in the works for a few years yet but I will manage.”

I saw a light come on in Jay’s head and I was wondering what idea he’d come up with. “How about I put off Medical School for a year then and help you?”

I appreciated the thought but I wanted him to go on and continue his education. “I appreciate that son but I want you to continue on to Med School as planned. You have a practice waiting on you. You’ll have 2 years Pediatric Residency then 2 years of Surgical Residency before you can join me and I’m not getting any younger.”

“Don’t say that Dad,” Jay shouted. “You’re NOT going to die any time soon.”

I giggled when he said that. “I know that son and I wasn’t meaning it in that way. What I meant was I’m not young like I used to be and you need a steady hand to operate and I know as I get older, I’m going to lose that.”

Ronnie chimed in on that one. “You’re still a great surgeon Dad. You can still run rings around a lot of them.”

Marco jumped in because he knew what I was meaning. “Yes guys Pop is still a good surgeon, but there comes a time when all of us will have to lay the scalpel down and not pick it back up. Pop will still be a great Pediatrician and he can still do that but his days in the OR will be over.”

Jay finally understood what I was saying. “Alright Dad, I’ll go on to Med School and even try to graduate early. My dream is still to work beside you in the OR and I want that more than anything.”

“I know you do son,” I said softly as I hugged him. “I also look forward to adding your name on the door to the office.”

Ronnie and Marco were standing there with their arms wrapped each other as they pulled us into a 4 way group hug. I could also see Ronnie's hand on Marco’s butt and he was beginning to tent his undies. I looked at Ronnie then down to Marco’s crotch and he got the message. Marco put a pair of shorts on then sat on the bed. “Marco, why don’t you sleep with Jay and Ronnie tonight? They’ve been dropping hints all evening.”

Jay and Ronnie got evil looking grins on their faces as they led their brother towards the door. Marco stopped and came back giving me a hug and a kiss. “Night Pop, sleep well.”

I kissed Marco on the cheek as well as Jay and Ronnie. “Sleep well you three but somehow I don’t think that’s whats on your minds right now.”

All three blushed profusely when I said that. “Night Dad.”

The boys left heading for their room and I got myself comfortable then watched some television.

Down in Jay and Ronnie’s room, the boys jumped Marco almost as soon as the door closed. Marco was quickly shed of his clothes and the other two started caressing his naked body as Marco was heading for sensory overload. “Easy guys or I’m gonna blow here on the spot and I want this to last just as long as you do. I also feel grubby so how about a shower before things really get going?”

The boys quickly stripped then headed into the bathroom for a shower. The tub was good sized so there was plenty of room for all three of them. Once the water was comfortable they all got in and Marco was molested once again.

Ronnie grabbed the soap and Jay got the shampoo and went to work cleaning Marco’s body. Jay shampooed Marco’s hair then started to work on his neck, shoulders and chest. Ronnie had the soap and was washing Marco’s back. Then both boys went to work on Marco’s legs completely skipping his crotch and butt. Jay went back and washed Marco’s chest again paying attention on his quarter size nipples. Ronnie started washing Marco’s globes and began kneading them as Jay continued rubbing Marco’s nips. “Oh shit guys.”

Marco no sooner got those words out when Jay slid his hand down and started washing Marco’s raging bone and very full balls. As soon as Jay touched Marco’s dick, Ronnie started rubbing Marco’s sensitive hole. Each time Ronnie passed over it, it would open then close in anticipation of something entering it. Ronnie tickled it a couple more times then inserted his finger all the way to the max. Jay saw Marco’s cock start leaking then started jacking him off.

Marco’s hole started contracting at the pleasure the boys were giving his body. When Ronnie felt Marco’s hole massaging his finger he added a second finger then he started finger fucking him. Ronnie quickly found Marco’s prostate and started working it with his fingers. “Oh shit guys, I can’t hold off much longer.”

When the boys heard this, they increased their efforts. Ronnie started giving his prostate a good massage while Jay shifted into overdrive with his jacking. Ronnie felt Marco’s hole clamp down hard onto his fingers and when he did, he mashed hard on his friend’s gland. Jay was rewarded with Ronnie’s backdoor efforts when Marco’s dick exploded. Jay saw the head expand then he opened his mouth to catch Marco’s load. “Ungh, I’m cumming Jay, I’m cumming.”

Jay was ready to receive Marco’s load and he wasn’t disappointed. Marco fired 4 powerful blasts into Jay’s waiting mouth causing it to overflow. Jay swallowed just in time to receive another three blasts. Ronnie was still massaging Marco’s prostate then when he felt Marco’s hole stop contracting, he slid his fingers out. Ronnie reached out and held onto Marco’s hips to steady his friend as Jay milked the remaining cum from his friend’s dick. Jay licked Marco’s dick then stood up and embraced him.

Jay and Ronnie held onto Marco as he came down from his orgasmic high. Once he was steady on his feet, the two boys quickly washed themselves then helped Marco out of the tub. Ronnie got a towel and wrapped it around Marco’s boys then started drying him. Jay got a towel for himself then quickly dried off. When Marco was dry, Jay led him in to the room while Ronnie got dry. Jay kissed Marco then led him to the bed. “Did you enjoy that my brother?”

Marco returned the kiss as Ronnie sat down beside them. “It’s been too long guys so I think you already know the answer to that. Now it’s my turn to repay that to you both and more.”
