Finding Jake By Dwedno Chapter 2: How things got this way. It wouldn’t be fair to leave everyone hanging with so many unanswered questions so I guess I will tell you a little more about that first day and night in Phillips house. But first I have to get dressed. The four of us are going to the diner for breakfast. A lot of things have changed but then again nothing has changed. I was fourteen then when Phil found me and brought me home a few days after I arrived. I turned fifteen weeks ago and he gave me an awesome present for my birthday. So did Brad but I’ll tell you about that later. Max, Brad and I are all close friends and also close together in age. Max is seventeen and Brad who I found about six months ago in almost the same place I was at is another story. I’ll get totally into that eventually since I can’t tell the entire story at once. Let’s just say for now that Brad who is thirteen gets along very nicely with me and we have a very close relationship. That didn’t happen overnight either but finding him didn’t hurt much. It’s a good thing Phil doesn’t care if we are straight or gay. That’s all I have to say about that for now because Brad doesn’t spend too many nights in his bed… if you get my drift and he sure cleaned up nicely after I found him. Anyway right now we are all walking the block to the diner from his huge mansion of a house to have something to eat. Phillip is a very rich and generous man and has shown that time after time. He has not only earned my respect but I love him dearly. He is the father I never had. For whatever reason no one ever questioned us living with him and I have gotten to know almost every cop in town through him. Apparently Philip has the respect of almost everyone if not all of the people in town that know him. He has spread his wealth around town almost as much as he has with us. Last year he even put an in ground pool in for us after Brad came into the house. Now I am dying to find out more about this Jake kid but so far as much as Phil shares he can easily become tight lipped when he thinks something needs to be private or quiet. When the time is right we will know what he wants us to know but for now its breakfast time and I smell the waffles from here! Eileen has become a good friend to me and we respect each other a lot. She is a good lady friend to talk to when I have a problem and her big mouth has closed when it comes to our conversations. She is the head waitress now at the diner since Melba left and moved out of town a few months ago. It’s a good place to eat and we have an open tab here anytime we are hungry. Don’t get me wrong there is always a ton of food up in the house but who wants to cook when we can walk five minutes to the diner. Its open every day from 6am till 9pm and helps keep at least six or seven people in a job in town. A lot of the locals eat there and the food is pretty good! Max… he is kewl to be with and I will talk more about him too later. He isn’t gay as far as I can tell but he isn’t shy either. He has walked the house naked a few times and been caught by me and probably Phil too. His response the first time I saw him totally naked was sweet and short. He said if you don’t like it don’t look. I never stopped looking at him and he didn’t seem to care. If I didn’t have Brad I would still be trying to get him. He is a totally awesome looking cute guy even if he is just 15 months older then I am. He definitely doesn’t have anything to hide in his pants! That’s for sure. Too bad he is dating a girl named Lisa from across town. Phil bought him a car for his 17th birthday and other than one warning from the cops he has been pretty good with driving it. It also helps when I need a ride some place. Max is almost like an older brother but hotter! I bet Lisa has wrapped her hands around him a few times!! From what I have seen I am sure he can please her quite well with his big member. Not that he would let me close enough to it but from what I have seen he has to be at least seven or more inches hard! He is a good five inches soft! But that’s only a guess since he won’t let me close enough to check it. I have seen more than I expected a few times but let’s just say if he is into anything but girls he hides it well. Much better than he hides his swinging cock sometimes when he walked around the house and thinks he is alone or for whatever reason he shows off. Maybe one day I will find out more. He talks more and more to me now but he is still pretty private about a lot of things. I still don’t know how he got here and for some reason he hasn’t said a lot about that. Maybe some day he will but either way he is still quite easy on the eyes. We all said good morning to Eileen as we walked in and sat down for a bite to eat. The place was a little busy today for a Saturday morning in early October. I guess it’s a good thing a few of the waitresses were on today or we would have had to wait a little longer then we did. All four of us placed out order with Eileen and when she walked away I looked at Phil. “So are you going to tell us more about this Jake kid?” “No Dylan I am not. Not until I know more. He is a runaway and for some reason he wound up around here or so we think he is around here.” “You don’t know?” “Not yet. Lieutenant Ebberson is trying to find out more for me but so far he has only heard rumors so I really can’t tell you much so far.” “Do you know his age at least Phil?” Max asked. “Possibly twelve or thirteen but no one has much on him other then his name so far.” “Then how did anyone find out his name?” “He came in here to use the bathroom and one of the waitresses took a look at his backpack and saw the name Jake on it. She tried to see more but the kid came out and grabbed his backpack and took off before she could offer him something to eat.” “So he could have been passing through?” asked Brad. “I would say yes Brad but he was spotted last night by someone who mentioned it in here to Theresa.” “Oh and that’s why the phone rang last night.” “Yup, it was her calling to tell me he was spotted and then I called the Lieutenant and filled him in.” “Well let’s hope what ever happens he is okay.” “Yeah Dylan lets hope so!” Phil said as the food started to come to the table. We all started to chow down on our breakfast as a plate of food was placed in front of each of us quickly after placing our order. I noticed we got food before a few others in the place and looks were being given at us for that. I have to admit I haven’t always been raised properly with the regular house and roof with two parents and siblings but I was always taught to wait my turn and when the food came that fast I felt weird eating before others in the diner received their food. “Phil?” “Yeah Dylan?” “I don’t feel right about this.” “Huh? What’s wrong do you feel sick?” “No, no... We got our food before a few other people in here.” “That’s the good thing about being the owner my boy.” “Yeah well it might be but as much as I appreciate that we get treated well I don’t feel good eating before other paying customers.” He put down his knife and fork and looked around the table at Brad and Max. Then he looked at me. “Dylan… you are right! It’s not fair and I am going to do something about it.” He stood up and surveyed the tables. Then he called Eileen over and talked quietly with her. After a quick chat he sat back down. “It’s all taken care of.” “What is Phil?” I asked. “I told Eileen to look at the checks of those who were in before us and not fed before us and give them their breakfast for free.” He smiled at me and picked up his fork and knife and began to cut his meat and pancakes. After a second he looked at me. “Does that make you feel better my boy?” I smiled at him. “Yes, thanks Phil.” I looked at Brad and Max and they were both smiling. We ate breakfast without any problems and anymore dirty looks and several customers even came over and thanked Phil before they left for their free breakfast. He did good by his customers and even more important by us. We finished our chow and headed back to the house as a group. Phil’s cell rang during the walk back and he answered it. I couldn’t tell exactly what was going on but it sounded like the call was about Jake and that was all I could tell. Finally as we were climbing the steps to the house Phil hung up the phone. “What happened Phil?” I asked. “Nothing to worry about Dylan, if I get any important news I’ll let you guys know.” Thus ending the nosiness of spying on the phone call. We got in the house and I went to my room and turned on the TV for background and went over to my computer to browse the internet and chat with a few friends online. Brad went off his own way as did Max. This gives me a little time to tell more about me and the guys and what is happening around here. When I first got here and settled in the day Phil found me he sat me down at the kitchen table and started to tell me what he expected from me and asked me what he could do for me. As I was about to answer him a sixteen year old Max came in and started talking to Phil before he notice me at the table. My mouth dropped open when I saw him in a tee shirt and sweats. He was very cute. About 5’10 and somewhat muscular. I didn’t notice anything at the time about his eyes or hair because I was too busy looking at his healthy body. My first impression was damn I hope he is gay! I didn’t find out for three days that he was straight when he finally came home one day with a girl and my dreams were dashed immediately. He was talking to Phil about his driver’s license and asking him something about an appointment. I didn’t catch most of it because I was trying not to drool all over myself or the table in front of me. Finally they were done and Phil introduced me to Max and he shook my hand with a firm grip and smiled at me causing my heart to just melt. I think he said nice to meet you but all I heard was blah, blah, blah yeah I know I am a hunk…. Actually I don’t quite remember what he said but it didn’t matter at that moment. He walked away and I almost fell off the chair watching him leave which might I add totally amused Phil to no end. When he was finally done laughing at my antics he cleared his throat and looked at me. “So Dylan am I going to have any trouble with you?” “No sir, sorry I mean Phil, why would you think that?” “Just because of the way you reacted to Max.” “Sorry it’s just when I looked at him… well is hot!” “You are a piece of work my boy, have you always spoken exactly what’s on your mind?” “Pretty much so Phillip is that okay with you?” “Certainly, I like a boy who speaks his mind. It took me almost six months to get Max to open up to me but it seems like I won’t have that problem with you.” “No not really, I have been told I never shut up and sometimes I have to remind myself to be quiet.” He laughed. “That’s fine. Now what I want you to know is simple. Obviously there will be a time of adjustment for you and when you are settled and ready let me know and I will set you up with a tutor.” “Tutor, I asked, what for?” “So you can do your schooling and get a diploma and become educated.” “Oh. Why don’t you just let me go to school?” He looked at me. I thought about what I said for a second and shook my head. “I guess I can’t do that can I?” “Nope not unless you want to register yourself in the school system and answer a bunch of questions about how illegal you are and wind up going back to the city or worse some hole in the wall.” “Yeah I got ya, I didn’t think about it until I asked the question. So I will be home tutored.” “Yes, Max is too. He spends about two to three hours a day with his teacher and will be ready to graduate in a few months and be done with regular school.” “Wow that’s fast isn’t it? I mean a few months it will still be the middle of the school year.” “Yes you are right Dylan but he worked long and hard in the beginning to catch up and sometimes did five or more hours with his tutor each day. He is down to two hours now but that took some work since he hadn’t gone to school for two years when I found him.” “Wow.” “Yes, how about you Dylan, when did you stop going to school?” “Actually I didn’t until I left last week. I was still going to class every day it was the only thing I had to keep me out of trouble and keep a little normalcy in my life.” “Good for you, I am proud of you and glad to hear that.” Now mind you we are talking here the first day he found me a year ago and I am telling all of you about my first day with Phillip so don’t get confused with the storyline, all of this happened a year ago. “So today is Wednesday, how about I give you until the weekend to get yourself together and you can start with your tutor on Monday?” “Sounds fine to me. I know we have a lot to talk about but would it be okay to see my room and take a shower Phillip? I haven’t had one in about five days.” “Certainly Dylan. When you are done I will take you shopping and we will get you a new wardrobe of clothing and some other things.” “Other things?” I said as I got up from my chair. “Yes, other things.” Phillip added as he got up too. “Like what? You are very kind buying me clothes Phillip what else would you get me?” “Oh I don’t know how about a computer for your room and maybe a TV and some other goodies.” I smiled widely. I swore this was a dream and I was still asleep in the cardboard box. I went over to him and gave him a huge hug and he held me tightly and whispered into my ear. “Boy I am very generous and I am glad to help you and take care of you. Now go wash so I can see how well you clean up and how good looking you really are my boy. We can discuss the rest after your shower.” I backed away from him breaking our hug and I looked at him as a tear ran down my face. “Now come Dylan, he said as he reached out and wiped away my tear. There will be no crying my boy, you are safe and will be happy from now on just like I told you.” “Thanks Phillip.” I said as I sniffed back more tears. I turned to go and wash. “Dylan…one more thing.” “Yes?” “Throw out those clothes after your shower. There will be fresh towels in the bathroom for you and when you dry off yell for me and I will take you and show you your room and give you clean underwear and stuff to wear so we can go to the store and set you up.” I smiled at him again and thanked him with another quick hug before I left to go upstairs. I ran into Max on the way up the steps and asked him where the bathroom is. “Up the steps and make a right Dylan. Go down three doors and the bathroom is on the right. I just put towels in there for you and when you are done I am sure Phillip told you what to do.” “Yeah he said to yell for him.” “Okay then you know what you need to do.” “Yeah, thanks. I said. He turned to go downstairs. Hey Max?” He stopped and looked at me. “Can I ask you something?” “Sure, anything.” “Is Phillip straight?” “Huh?” he looked at me with a puzzled look like what the hell do you mean. “Phillip, is he into boys or men?” “No he isn’t and neither am I but we don’t care who is Dylan so if you are or anyone else is it doesn’t matter incase you were wondering. No one will hurt you here it took me a long time to learn that and realize how safe and great it is to live here. It was a dream come true for me finding Phillip. He loves me and cares about me and shows it every day and I don’t have a problem with it or with showing affection back to him after all he has done for me.” “Thanks Max, maybe one day I’ll be just as lucky as you are.” “Don’t worry Dylan it will come as long as you are patient and honest.” “Thanks Max I just don’t think that will be soon enough for me.” “We’ll see Dylan. Only time will tell. Go shower I am sure you can’t wait to get clean.” He was right, back then when we had our first mini chat alone. It’s been a year since we had that talk. I’ll get back to that first day in a bit, I just wanted to say that I asked Max if we could talk about when he got there and what happened to cause him to wind up here and to this day we talk about a lot of things and he knows both Brad and I are gay and so on. None of that bothers him or Phillip. Max is totally awesome to be around and we hang out a lot together too. Sometimes the three of us go out when Max isn’t with Lisa. But lately he has been with her a lot and although it’s okay I do miss being with him sometimes. Anyway…I went in the bathroom and looked around and sure enough there were fresh towels and a new bar of soap and some shampoo there sitting on the sink for me. I stripped off my filthy clothes and threw them on the floor then I started the water for my shower. I got in and the warm water felt amazing as it ran over my shoulders and back. I want to say I almost forgot how good it felt to have a hot shower but it really was less than a week since I had one in my old place. As the water ran over my head I thought about my mom for a second and if she would miss me and as quickly as the thought came to mind it went away as I grabbed the soap and began to rub it over my chest. Sometimes I think about my mom but all she really ever did was give birth to me and kinda raise me until I was five. After that from what I remember she was hardly there and school was all I had. The only thing she really did was teach me how to dress and eat and how to get to school and luckily I did the rest myself. I am still amazed that I got to my current age without being killed or really hurt on the streets. I did have sex with some people a few times to make money to live on but it was always protected sex. I might have been hurting for money but I wasn’t stupid and I wasn’t about to risk my life with some guy off the street giving me some disease or worse… aids or something. The crap I did to make that cash is something I am not proud of but at least I didn’t get hurt or let anyone violate my ass. It didn’t last long but it did make me some cash to live on for a while. Well now I am soaping my wash cloth up and the hot water feels awesome on me. I started to wash my body and as soon as my soapy hands found my member I realized how long it had been since I jerked off to orgasm and as I grew hard from playing with myself I dropped the wash cloth and started beating my cock harder and harder. Before long my six inches was rock hard and I was starting to get that feeling. I leaned back on the cold shower wall and even though I felt the cold on my back the only thing I really felt more was the pleasure growing in my hands as I continued to stroke off my hard meat. A few seconds later I knew it was time as I couldn’t hold back any longer and started to blow my wad of saved up cum all over the shower curtain in front of me. I let out a stifled gasp as the pleasure from the orgasm rocked my head and sent me off into that place we go to when it happens. After a bit I came back to earth and squeezed the last bit of cum off the end of my softening meat and brought the last drop of cum to my lips for a taste like I had done so many times before. It wasn’t my favorite thing in the world but I didn’t mind a little taste of my own stuff now and then. I grabbed the now cum stained wash cloth and cleaned it and soaped it up once more this time so I could scrub the dirt off the rest of my body. It felt so good to be clean again as I turned off the shower water and got out of the tub. I rapped a large towel around me as a sudden chill hit me and grabbed the second towel and threw it over my shoulders to get the chill out of my body. Eventually I dried off and got out of the bathroom. I yelled down to Phillip who immediately came upstairs to meet me. He looked at me and smiled. “I see you found the towels and you sure smell great now too Dylan not that you were terribly bad before but I can imagine how you must have felt. Follow me and I will show you your room.” Now this wasn’t a brand new house but it wasn’t like living in an old mansion with hidden walls or anything but it was big and had a lived in feeling to it. I followed him down the hall and after a few doorways he stopped and pointed to a door. “This is your room Dylan and only your room as long as you are well behaved and don’t drive me insane with loud music you can do just about anything you want. Obviously there are rules here just like anywhere else but I will not ply you with an overdoing of them all at once. You will learn them as needed and with a little common sense you will do fine. Now go in and check out your room.” I opened the door and was immediately stunned by the first thing that I saw. The bed! It was a king size bed with fresh sheets and a beautiful while bedspread on it. I jumped on it and it hardly moved but it smelled like that fresh dryer smell. I hardly had the opportunity to smell things like this back there but occasionally my mom did do some laundry in her ‘sane’ moments. I don’t want to come off as a total loser but it wasn’t always easy to live like a normal family did. It happened sometimes for weeks at a time but it never lasted and it didn’t take long growing up to know that any streak of good times would end as abruptly as it began… sometimes with a lot of screaming and other times it would end with no one around but me for days on end. I have gone days without eating during the summer months but when school was in at least I knew I would have a lunch every day since I was on a mean plan due to my home life. Well anyway my bed was awesome! I sat up and looked around the room… there was more open space in here than my entire house it seemed. There was a huge TV, two dressers and two closet doors. I checked every inch of the room and the only thing I didn’t have was my own bathroom but there were a few in the house. I opened this big door and it led to outside and a small balcony. It was awesome! I walked out and looked out over the rear of the property which was on the hilly side but still great! I turned and walked back in and Phillip was standing there looking at me. “So what do you think?” “I really don’t know what to say. Its awesome, it’s impossible to say…” He smiled. “How about you and I go and find some more stuff to fill this room with?” “You mean I can have anything I want?” “Within reason.” He said. I smiled and ran to him and gave him a huge hug. He held me tightly and I felt the warmth and sincerity in his hug almost exactly like Max said I would. He just made it seem like it wouldn’t happen immediately. I didn’t think it would either but I just felt something great shock my brain and I don’t know how to react to it other than a hug! “Get dressed Dylan. The top draw in the dresser has some sweat pants and a few shirts to choose from. When you are ready I will be in the main room. Come down and get me.” “Thank you so much Phillip.” I gave him another hug before he left me alone. He shut the door as he left and I took my damp towel off my waist and dropped it to the floor like any teen would do. I walked naked over to the dresser where he said clothes would be. I opened the draw and found two sets of sweats and two different shirts to wear. Next to them were an undershirt and boxers. I didn’t know how he knew or maybe he took a guess but that was fine with me. I never wore boxers before I always had tighty whities but I didn’t really care at all. I dressed and headed back down to him as quickly as I could. I reached the bottom step and called out for him. “I’m ready Phillip.” “I’m in the kitchen Dylan.” I walked into the kitchen. “Just getting a bottle of water, want something to drink?” “Sure, what do we have?” “Take a look the refrigerator is always stocked. Just so you know we have a maid her name is Eliza and we have a part time cook his name is Nikky.” “Wow, is that why my bed smelled so fresh and clean?” “Yup that’s why. She is here six days a week and has Sunday off so I will expect you to take care of your bed and room on Sunday’s okay?” “Yes sir.” “The cook is here every other day and usually makes lunch and dinner before he leaves. He gets here around noon and goes home after he makes dinner around 6 or 7 pm. If you want something special tell him or he will just make whatever is planned that day and I would say it would be fair to tell him by at least 4pm so he has time to prepare what you want.” “That is so awesome.” “Yes it is. Money has great benefits in life.” “I wouldn’t know Phillip its still my first day here and I come from a place where I was lucky if I had one meal a day not three.” He looked at me with disappointment or sadness in his face. “You won’t have that problem ever again Dylan. Ready to go now?” “Sure am.” He got his jacket and I followed him as he went out to his car. It was a new looking Mercedes bends and smelled like it too. Parked next to his was Max’s car and that looked new too. We got in and he started it up and we took off to go shop. Shop we did. For the next few hours all we did was hit the mall and he let me pick out whatever I wanted in clothing and then he let me buy a boom box music system with surround sound four speakers and then we walked to a store that I loved. I picked out a new X-Box and he paid for it. “One more stop Dylan.” We wheeled everything out to his car and loaded it up and then we got in. we took off and headed to another store. We got out in front of this generic computer store and I followed him inside. Once we got inside he asked me if I wanted a laptop or a desktop. He explained the differences to me and I chose the laptop so I could move around the house with it. He said he already had the house wired with high speed cable and wireless internet. I didn’t quite understand it but I had a feeling I would learn. We placed the order for my laptop and were told it would be ready in two days and they would call. Then we headed home so I could put all my new clothes away and do whatever I wanted to for the rest of the day. For dinner I had a steak and some French fries and corn. We had fresh ice cream for dessert and then I went to my room to watch TV. Something I was never really able to do before. That was how day one went for me. Since that day it’s been a lot more of the same thing with a few hours of schooling every day for me and Brad. We have our classes together with the same tutor. By noon we are done with school and pretty much have the rest of the day to ourselves to play around go online or go out and find something to do. When school gets out on an average day I meet with some of my friends and sometimes they come over and other times I might go to their house but basically it’s a great teenager life now between my normal stuff I do and the Brad stuff I do. I’ll tell you more about Brad, how I found him and how we got together and learned about each other as time goes on. Right now I have to call a friend and see how school went and then it’s getting close to dinner time and tonight chef is making us a special meal to celebrate me being here for a year. We didn’t pick a day but Phillip asked me when I wanted to do something and I said tonight was as good as any so he is making a one year cake and its my favorite Cannoli cake. I had a piece of it once at an old friend’s birthday part when I was eleven and I loved it. Now I can have it again thanks to Phillip. It wasn’t my birthday but he told me I was going to have a surprise tonight after dinner. The four of us were eating together. I already saw Max and he is gonna be here tonight. I don’t know if he cancelled his plans with Lisa but they are close now and things couldn’t be better from what I hear. I could smell the steaks now as dinnertime grew closer and I was going to Brad’s room to find him. Next chapter will be the first time you get to meet Brad even though I have talked about him he hasn’t been part of the story until now. I walked into his room and he was lying on his bed in a pair of shorts watching TV. “Hey good looking, ready for dinner?” He rolled over and looked at me. “Hey Dyl.” He patted the bed next to where he was laying. I jumped on and got next to him and put my arm on him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “Love ya Bradley.” “Love ya too Dilly.” I got all comfy next to him as we waited for the call to dinner and we watched TV together for now. I can’t wait for my after dinner present that Brad promised me.
