Chapter 7. Max and Dante.
Now Max was a pretty strong willed kid even for seventeen. His birthday was a few months away and when he turned eighteen we were pretty sure he was going to stay here and continue living his life with Phillip. No one has said anything about it to him yet as far as I know but very soon according to state law he will be an adult. I wonder how things will change when that happens... if I know him not much. I mean lately Max has become like a brother to me and I would hate to lose him now that he has confessed so much to me. I would be willing to bet that he might even want to try something sexual in the future the way he acted when he told me the story and other things too but I think its way too soon for that to happen even if I want it besides I couldn’t crush Brad by being with Max. Well maybe… but if he ever found out that would probably put him over the edge for good. That’s only a guess. Brad is a pretty strong willed boy sometimes too. Survival skills worked for all of us or we might not be here now so we had to do something right before Phillip found us… I wonder how Max is doing now… Just then as if on cue the house phone rang. I answered it quickly and it was Max.
“Dylan it’s me.”
“Max what’s going on where are you?”
“Change of plans Dylan I wanted to tell you right away.”
“What happened?”
“I decided that I am going to the phone booth to meet Dante instead of waiting for him to call me. I am ten miles away and he told me he would call at 4pm so that gives me thirty minutes to get there.”
“Do you have enough time?”
“Yeah I should be there in fifteen minutes tops its all highway.”
“Awesome I will stay by the phone call me as soon as you know something.”
“Don’t worry Dyl I will. You are all I have to keep me from going totally crazy right now.”
“Thanks Max it means a lot to me knowing you need me.”
“More than you know big guy, more than you know! I gotta go now but as soon as I can I will call you and tell you what is happening.”
“Okay, thanks. Bye.”
“Bye Dyl.”
I hung up the phone and thought for a second that I felt the level of pressure that Max must be under myself as I thought about him seeing his brother for the first time in… years. I don’t know if I could hold it together as well as he has been to tell you the truth! I was happy that Brad didn’t pick up the phone; maybe he’s asleep now after all it’s been close to an hour since he asked me to be alone. Then I thought about what Max told me. I wondered it he shared his private information with me because he just needed to tell someone or he really trusted me. I didn’t give it a lot of thought but it did cross my mind. I went back to the TV and before long the phone rang again and I ran for it even though it was just across the room. I picked it up expecting to hear Max.
“Hello?”
“Dyl it’s me Jon.”
“Oh hi Jon.” I said with a disappointed tone.
“What’s wrong Dyl?”
“Sorry Jon its not you I was expecting Max to call.”
“Oh do you want me to hang up then?”
“Hell no, we have call waiting if he rings through I will know.”
“Oh great maybe one day mom can get that for us here. The way the phone gets used in this house we really should have a second line but mom said she can hardly afford to pay this one sometimes the way we run the bill up.”
“I’d like to say I know what you mean but…”
“Yeah you live with the richest guy in town and don’t have a worry in the world when it comes to money!”
“Something like that Jon. I don’t see any of it but I don’t need anything either.”
“Yeah I know. Now that we are better friends I can tell you this but please don’t tell anyone I said it okay?”
“Sure Jon sounds serious though.”
“No not really serious just something I have known for a while and have been afraid to tell you.”
“Then go ahead, say it.”
“I thought you should know that most of the guys in town that we know are jealous of you. Coming from out of town, finding Phillip and becoming part of his family and getting practically anything you want.”
“I know what you are saying Jon but lets be real… you guys have mom’s and dad’s your own family and you are loved! I’m not saying Phillip doesn’t care about me, I am sure he does and maybe in some way he might even love me… but… I paused for a few seconds… look all I can say is money isn’t everything. I know I have that but I don’t have a mom or dad, heck I don’t even know my dad. Maybe someday I will be able to find my mom again but really Jon they should be happy even if they don’t have the latest X-box or play station, they have family, and I still think that is up there a lot higher then money.”
There was silence over the other end of the phone when I stopped talking.
“Jon are you still there?”
“Oh yeah, sorry Dyl, I was thinking about what you said and it made me realize, you really are right. I mean its great I have you as a close friend now and I can talk to you and say important things to you that I didn’t feel right saying before but I have to admit Dyl, I never thought much about what you went through or even knew anything about it before you said that to me just now. Maybe next time we are together if you want to you can tell me more. I would love to hear it and be there for you.”
“Thanks Jon, maybe I will. It’s not easy to talk about. It’s not fun to discuss how my drug addict mom let me live on my own most of the time and that’s just a little of what happened to me.”
“Wow Dyl, I’m sorry I didn’t know…”
He got quiet again.
“Jon… you are right about one thing, you are my friend, and I think a really good one too. I don’t tell many people about my past but when I am ready I would like to share it with you. Not now, maybe not tomorrow, but soon.”
“Thanks Dyl. Next time one of them says something about you maybe I will just tell them to shut the fuck up and be thankful that they have parents!”
I was smiling.
“Thanks Jon. That’s nice to hear.”
“Glad I can do that for you Dyl, I mean after today what we did… it was so awesome I have to say every time I think or have thought about it since I got back home I get hard.”
I laughed.
“So does that mean you want it again?”
“Right now if you could!”
I laughed again.
“What did I do, turn you into a sex craved horn dog?”
“Maybe, something like that but I swear the feeling I got when I came… well I don’t have to tell you how awesome it was you were there.”
“Yeah I was and I saw your face and how you reacted. I can’t imagine how it felt but I have a pretty good idea.”
“It was like a bomb going off inside my brain!”
“Then we will have to do it again.”
“Maybe tomorrow?” he asked.
“Maybe Jon just keep your hands from going too far south or else next time it might not be as good.”
“Huh?”
“Don’t you understand what I mean?”
“No Dyl you totally lost me.”
“The best thing I can say is the longer you wait to cum again the better it will feel next time we do it.”
“Oh… I got you. I never thought about that.”
“Yeah and if you play with it and don’t cum then it’s supposed to feel even better when you do!”
“Wow how did you learn so much about all this?”
“One day I’ll tell you Jon.”
“It has to do with your past doesn’t it?”
“Something like that.”
“I got ya.”
“Yeah we’ll talk about it as I get to know you better Jon I promise.”
“Thanks Dyl. I’m gonna go now but I wanted to tell you that and thank you again for making my dick feel like a million bucks and my head like a billion!”
“Talk to you later Jon.”
“Okay, by Dyl.
“Bye Jon.”
After we hung up I went back to watching TV.
Meanwhile some distance away Max was turning off the main highway and was now only blocks from his old home and the phone booth that his brother was about to show up at. Max was ten minutes early, he drove those few blocks as fast as possible. He parked as quickly as he could; luckily he got close, within sight of the phone. He turned the car off and started thinking about everything that could happen. Good or bad. He sat there staring at the phone booth; each minute seemed like ten as they clicked off the clock radio in his car. Finally it was time but there was no sight of his brother yet. He sat across the street, three or four car lengths from the phone booth, a twenty or so second run without a car blocking him. He was getting antsy, anxious, restless, and five or ten other emotions that he couldn’t even register in his mind at the moment. 4:03, 4:04… the clock in the car kept changing like each minute was an hour. His nerves were on edge and he grabbed the car door handle as many as ten times and let go each time knowing in the back of his mind the best place for him at the moment was right here in the seat. Finally at 4:06 he saw his brother. Dante walked past him directly across the street. His heart skipped a beat as he smiled and watched his brother walk he wanted to yell right then and there but he didn’t. He looked around and made sure no one else was following him and then he grabbed the door handle again just as his brother was about to lift the phone off the hook. He got out of the car and waited for a car that was coming to pass by almost getting hit by it. That brought him back to reality for a brief moment. The car passed and he looked at Dante as he brought the phone to his ear and put the coin into the money slot. He watched him as he crossed the street, Dante had his back to him and didn’t have a clue what was about to happen. As Max got closer, he thought for a brief moment as he looked at Dante how much taller his brother had gotten since he last saw him but that thought left his mind as he approached him. Now fifteen, ten, five feet away the butterflies in his gut were churning like nothing he had ever felt before. He now stood within reach of his brother as Dante being turned towards the phone was the only thing stopping them from seeing each other.
“Damn where is he! Dante said. He isn’t answering the phone!”
He slammed it down in one motion and turned away from it in disgust. As he blinked he spun around and as he opened his eyes he focused them on the figure in front of him. Their eyes met and before Max could even break a smile Dante looked at him.
“MAX!” he screamed out.
He ran into his brothers arms as Max took a step closer and they hugged like it was the end of the world.
“Max!” he said again as he squeezed his older brother tightly.
Finally they broke their embrace and Dante looked at his older brother. Tears streaming down his cheeks but he was as happy as could be.
“What are you doing here? Why did you just come?”
He reached out and wiped some of the tears from his younger brother’s face.
“Let’s go talk in the car so we can have privacy DJ.”
Without saying a word he followed his brother to the car. They crossed the street and approached his vehicle. Max grabbed the handle as Dante watched.
“Wow nice wheels bro.” he said.
“Go around and get in little brother.”
“Sure thing!”
He ran around and got into the car.
“Yeah it’s a nice car. Max said as he shut the door. I am being well taken care of.”
“Okay you promised you would tell me everything and then you just show up like this. I’m not mad Max but you did shock me quite a bit.”
“Sorry DJ. I was thinking about this. It’s all that I have had on my mind since we started talking about meeting. I just decided to drive here.”
“But that’s not around the corner big brother it had to take you some time to get here.”
“A little more than thirty minutes, I didn’t watch the clock I was too busy thinking about how you would look now and what you would do when you saw me.”
“Was it what you expected?”
“Yes and no.”
“Huh?” Dante said.
“You did what I thought you would do when you saw me but damn you got big. You grew a lot and you got really cute. The girls must be chasing you all over.”
He smiled at Max.
“I grew up some didn’t I? But no… no girls yet.”
“You sure did.” Max said.
“You did too Max.” Dante replied.
“I know DJ I didn’t have a choice. No girls huh? So let’s talk about things okay?”
“Yeah. I guess we need to. You start first since you drove all the way here, how about telling me why.”
“Because I want you away from that man. I know you love mom and she will be devastated but I can’t… I won’t let him hurt you like he did me!”
“He hasn’t hurt me Max he only gets mad when I talk about you. If I say your name in front of him or mom he gets so upset that she always runs to her room before he explodes. I know Dad is hiding the truth from her but its really starting to bother me more and more…”
A tear rolled down his face. He wiped it away.
“Do you think if I got mom away you could meet her?”
Max looked at him.
“Is she home?”
“Yeah she is home today and dad isn’t. Believe me Max I want to go back and get my stuff and leave with you but I can’t break momma’s heart, she is still upset that you are gone. I can’t do it… I want to be with you but I just can’t walk out without her knowing.”
He buried his head in his hands and started crying. Max wasn’t far behind it was very emotional with them both being together again after so long and before long both boys were soaking themselves together. Finally they wiped their faces clean and Max looked at Dante.
“We are just gonna have to do it then DJ.”
Without saying another word he started the car and took off.
“Where are we going?”
“Home, its time I saw mom and told her what is going on.”
“But you can’t Max you know what dad said he would do!!”
“Yes and he isn’t going to do anything, I am just going to explain things to mom and she is going to deal with it. She has to DJ, she just has to!”
Neither of them said anything as he drove the few blocks to their house. He parked down the road and turned the car off.
“Why you stopping here?”
“Because I don’t want to take any chances DJ. Walk up to the house and make some excuse to get mom out. If dad is there just come back alone and don’t say anything okay?”
“Yes but what if he isn’t? Should I tell her where I am taking her?”
“No don’t do that it will just cause problems. Just tell her you need to show her something outside and its important. She’ll come I know she will.”
“Okay.”
He looked at Max and opened the car door and got out. He walked five houses up the block and headed up the steps and inside. Max’s heart was pounding in his chest as he waited for someone to come back out. Five minutes passed and still no one showed. He was getting worried. Finally after almost ten minutes DJ stepped outside he stood on the top step for a few seconds and finally his mom followed. He flew down the steps and waited for his mom to follow. Max swallowed hard as he saw his mom get closer and closer to the car. DJ stopped and so did his mom directly in front of the passenger door. It was time.
“Why did you stop DJ?” she asked.
Max heard her before he got out. They were both looking at him as he opened the door and stood up. Their eyes met and she seemed to melt.
“MAX!” she screamed out.
She ran over as he came around and they met in front of the car. They embraced and she held him tightly as they both cried.
“Momma!” he said
“Oh baby where have you been!” she said finally breaking their embrace.
She looked him over.
“Oh sweet lord you are alive!” as she held his hands.
She brought him to herself again and kissed him several times on his cheek before letting go of him and looking him up and down one time.
“Hi momma.” Was all he could muster up.
“Sweet boy! I am so happy you are alive. Please tell me what happened and why you left.”
“Okay mom I will but please not out here get in the car.”
She looked confused but agreed and got in his car. Dante got in the back door and sat in the middle between them and leaned forward.
“Okay I am here now please tell me what happened.”
“This isn’t easy momma but I will try and explain it to you as best as I can.”
For the next five minutes she sat there taking in everything Max and Dante said. Each of them backing the other as Max slowly told her highlights of what happened and why he left. She cried, tears running down her face but didn’t say anything as she held Max’s hand and listened to her boys tell her a good amount of the horrible truth and why he left without her knowing.
“That’s as much as I want to tell you right now momma. There is more but not now, not here.”
“Oh baby boy, I am so sorry for what he did to you making you leave. I know you couldn’t come to me but two years Max… I worried night and day for two years about you!!”
“I’m sorry mom I didn’t know what to do and I couldn’t do much without worrying that dad would kill you and Dante. I had to stay away until now.”
“Then why now? What is different now that you could come back?”
“Nothing momma, Dante begged me over and over to come see him and today I guess I became man enough to just do it. I was going to meet him and take him back with me to stay with me for a few days momma but I didn’t want you thinking something else happened and I missed you so much. He swallowed hard and continued… I just decided to drive out here.”
“But where have you been living?”
“I can get into all that later momma but all you need to know is I have been living with the nicest man in the whole world about forty or so minutes from here.”
“This man, he hasn’t hurt you nor done anything wrong to you has he?”
“No mom he is kind and loving and rich and he has been like a real dad to me.”
“I can’t believe all this. I can’t believe that all this happened and I didn’t know any of it. Its… it’s just impossible to comprehend. Two years of worry gone! All gone in one breath! Oh Max I am so glad you are okay.”
“I’m sorry momma; I just don’t know what else to say.”
“You don’t have to say anything now. I am going to deal with this my own way. Don’t you worry about a thing! She turned to DJ. I want you to go inside and pack a bag; you are going to go with your brother for a few days. Then she looked at Max. I want a way to get in touch with you and I want an address before you leave. Then I will call you tomorrow and tell you what is happening.”
“But momma he will kill you!” DJ said.
“No baby, he won’t do that. Your father is a lot of things but he isn’t a murderer. So DJ just do this so I know you are safe, go live with Max for a little while and I will figure out how to deal with all this.”
With that DJ got out of the car and walked back to the house to get his clothes. She looked at Max.
“You know in my heart the whole time I knew you were okay. I kept thinking you were alive and well. I felt it I just wish it didn’t take two years to find out what you told me.”
“Momma there is more… I couldn’t say it in front of DJ I was too embarrassed to but I only told you some of it and I lied a little. Keith did more than just hurt me…”
She had a look in her eye now like she wanted to kill.
“Mom before I say more I want your word that you will keep things under control. I just got you back and I don’t want to lose you now, please?”
“Okay baby you have my word… I know it won’t be easy but we will work this out.”
“I know we will mom and if I have to I will get Phillip to help. He is rich and very powerful mom. If this doesn’t work I can at least get you out of there and safe by me. Promise me you will be careful okay?”
“Yes dear I will now what else happened, I need to know.”
“Momma Keith didn’t just hurt me he raped me and Dante at different times.”
Her face went blank. He wasn’t sure if she was having a heart attack or just taking all this in. She didn’t say anything for almost a full minute. Finally she looked at him and opened her mouth.
“My GOD! All this time… is that why Keith was in the hospital Max?”
She was starting to put it all together in her head. It was making perfect sense too!
“Yes momma I beat him with a baseball bat. He came back one too many times and I swore I wasn’t going to let him do anything to me or DJ ever again but Daddy caught me as I was beating him with the bat and he took it away and somehow fixed everything so no one would know the truth.”
“That explains a lot Max. A whole lot. I’m so sorry I couldn’t have been there for you and Dante sweetie.”
“Its not your fault momma you were working and dad was useless.”
“I know that now. We will work this out I promise I just need to figure out how but I promise tomorrow I will call you, do you have a cell phone?”
“Yes. Here I wrote down both numbers for you. The first is my cell and the other is the house number.”
She looked it over.
“I know that area code… I have seen it on the phone bill a few times. I bet Dante called you from the house didn’t he?”
“Yes a few times before I made him use a pay phone I didn’t want any problems momma.”
“You did good Max, very good! Now it’s my turn to take it from here. DJ is coming so I am going to stop for now but I will call you tomorrow and we can figure the rest out and I will have had time to think about how I want to handle this. I am so sorry you had to go through all this alone sweetie, you never will again.”
“Thanks momma.”
He gave her a hug reaching across the seat. DJ walked up to the car and knocked on the window.
“Mom, dad called he is on the way home. He said he will be here in fifteen minutes.”
She quickly got out of the car. Max followed.
“Get in DJ. We will talk soon. Max will fill you in on what you need to know. For now just be good and listen to your brother. He will take care of you okay?”
“Yes momma I know he will.”
“I love you very much DJ, everything will be fine, and we will talk more tomorrow.”
While they talked Max put his stuff in the trunk.
“I will tell your father you are away at a friends for a few days so there will be no problem.”
“Okay momma, thanks,”
She gave him a big hug and then looked at Max.
“I am so very proud of you my Max. Take care of DJ and I will talk to you on your cell tomorrow. Now get out of here before that bastard gets home!”
“Love you momma.”
He gave her a big hug.
“I love you too dear and I am so very happy you are okay.”
She kissed him several times on the cheek and once on the lips before she let of him.
“Now get out of here before it’s too late. I promise I will call you tomorrow afternoon.”
“Okay bye momma.”
He got in the car and looked at Dante.
“Put your belt on little brother we are going for a ride to my home!”
He smiled at DJ and DJ smiled back as he started the car. They both waved at their mother and he took off. Once clear of the house DJ looked at Max.
“You told her didn’t you?”
“Told her what DJ?”
“You told her about him hurting us.”
“Yes little brother I did. I just couldn’t say it in front of you it still hurts too much.”
Dante reached out and put his hand on his brother leg.
“I love you Max.” he said.
He looked at Dante.
“I know DJ, I love you too and I have missed you so much it hurts.”
“That’s over now right? You promise you will be in my life from now on?”
“Yes I do, no matter what DJ… in a short time I will be legal, and no matter what happens at the house you are going to be safe even if that means moving in with us, I will be your guardian if I have to go to court to get you away from dad. You can stay with me at Phillips house if you want because I know things are bad back home and yes… it does still hurt a lot.”
“I know Max it still bothers me too. I have nightmares about it sometimes.”
He looked at Dante.
“Are they bad ones?”
“No and as I have gotten older they are happening less and less.”
“Damn, Damn, DAMN! I should have been there for you!”
“Max its okay they really are happening a lot less now and with you around I bet they will go away all together.”
“That’s good. You might be right about that DJ. By the way have you heard anything about Keith?”
“No. since you were gone I haven’t heard his name once but I know momma and dad have had a few bad arguments.”
“Did he hit her?”
“Not as far as I know Max. They yelled a lot a few times but I don’t remember ever seeing any marks on her.”
“That’s good. Are you thirsty or hungry DJ?”
“I could use a drink.”
“Okay, we’ll stop ahead. I have to make a phone call too.”
“Who do you have to call?”
“My friend back home. His name is Dylan and he is the best.”
“Are you two close?”
“Not close like brothers but he is the first one I told about you and he will be there to meet you after we arrive. First you have to meet Phillip and I have to explain all this to him.”
“That won’t be easy.”
“I know.” He said as he pulled off the road and into a convenience store parking lot.
They both got out and walked into the store. Dante followed Max over to the cold soda and they both looked. Max grabbed a cola and Dante grabbed an iced tea. They walked over to the counter. Dante watched as Max took out a fifty dollar bill and handed it to the cashier. He took the change and they walked out of the store.
“Where did you get so much money Max?”
“I have been saving it for a while DJ. I don’t have to buy much, we get fed at the house or diner, and Phillip gives me between seventy five and a hundred bucks a week for spending cash.”
“Wow this guy is really rich isn’t he?”
“Wait till we get there DJ you can see for yourself.”
“I can’t wait; I want to hear more about this diner and all about the house you live in.”
“You will but right now I have to call Dylan.”
“Oh, okay I’ll be quiet then.”
Dante smiled at Max as he started the car and they headed towards the main highway. Max picked up his cell and dialed the house. It rang twice and he said hello.
“Where have you been Max I have been worried sick!”
“Sorry Dyl, I met my mom and I have DJ with me. I will fill you in on all the rest when I get there.”
“Wow Max sounds like a lot happened. Are you okay?”
“Yes nothing bad happened. I’ll see you in about 45 minutes okay?”
“Sure Max. Phillip is here so we will be waiting for you.”
“Don’t say anything to him okay??”
“I won’t say a word I am going back in my room; I’ll talk to you when you get here.”
“Okay thanks Dylan if you don’t mind watch for me and meet me outside okay?”
“No problem, I’ll look out the front window, I can see the driveway from it without a problem, see you in a bit.”
“Thanks, Dyl, bye.”
They hung up and Dante looked at Max.
“You really trust him don’t you?”
“Very much. He has proven he can be trusted.”
“Really how?”
“Well DJ I guess you could say I stayed out all night last week and he found out, more like figured it out right away, he’s pretty freakin smart that Dylan, anyway he didn’t say anything to Phillip so I did a few more things to test him and he passed all of them. Then I told him about you and he was only happy to hear it so we got very close and we are almost like brothers now.”
Max didn’t say anything else about what Dylan and he talked about in private or that he might have interest in guys. That is the last thing he wants Dante to know especially right now. He just got his brother back the last thing he wants to do is scare him away with gay thoughts.
“That is so cool Max that you can have a good friend like that.”
“Yeah and before you get there I want you to know one more thing.”
“Okay, it sounds serious from your tone is something else wrong?”
“No not wrong but as much as I hate to say it you need to know.”
“Okay as long as I am with you I don’t care Max you can tell me anything.”
“Dylan is gay and the other guy that lives there is his boyfriend.”
Dante didn’t say anything as his mouth dropped open and he stared straight ahead.
“DJ are you okay? He paused with no reply. DJ!” he screamed.
Finally he looked at Max.
“Wow… yeah I am okay.”
“Then what happened and where did you go when I said he was gay and so is Bradley.”
“Bradley?”
“Yes Bradley is the name of the other boy who lives there.”
“Oh.”
Max could see his brother was interested in what he told him and there was little doubt his mind was going a million miles a second since he tried talking to him again and Dante totally ignored him.
“DANTE!” he screamed.
He looked at his brother.
“Sorry Max I was just thinking about what you said.”
“What? The gay comments?”
“Yeah…”
“Are you okay with that?”
“Uh huh.”
He wasn’t sure but he knew something was going on inside Dante’s head and it was the gay comment that sent him off to wherever he is now.
“Dante are you okay?”
“Yes Max I was just thinking about having gay boys around.”
“Is that bad?”
“Uhhhh…. I really don’t think so but I don’t want to talk about it anymore okay Max?”
“Sure DJ, no problem.”
Now Max was thinking… is my little brother gay or is he scared of gay boys? That thought stayed with him almost the rest of the way home and the car was totally silent until Dante spoke almost fifteen minutes later.
“Max… I have a question.”
“Go ahead DJ you know you can ask me anything or tell me the same…”
“How do you know if you are gay?”
Max swallowed hard and almost drove into the next lane after DJ asked that.
“I don’t really know how to answer that DJ but I do need to know why you asked such a question… are you gay Dante?”
He looked at him with the look of utter shock on his face.
“Of course not! He said without hesitating. The only problem was it wasn’t a convincing answer. Why would you think I am gay Max?”
“Sorry DJ it was just the way you asked me that question it made me think…”
“Well stop thinking about it I was just curious and I didn’t know how else to ask it okay?” he practically yelled back at Max.
Max let it drop after that but the tone of his brother’s voice made him think there was more to it. Mind you he hasn’t seen his brother in two years but there was definitely something bugging him about that question.
“We are here DJ two more blocks and you will see my house.”
“Great.” Was all he said.
Max pulled over to the side of the road and stopped the car after that comment.
“Are you okay little brother? I know how you were when you got in the car and now you seem to be acting like you hate the world or something from your quiet attitude.”
“No I am fine but please Max lets not get into it anymore then we have. I have a lot on my mind and this is really a lot to take in right now.”
“Sure bro. sorry I won’t push you.”
“Thanks.”
He put the car back in drive and drove the final two blocks. He pulled into the driveway and before he could get out Dylan was coming towards them. Dylan approached the car as Max got out one side and Dante the other. He was so focused on Max that before he got to see Dante he was almost standing next to him.
“Hi Max.”
“Hi Dyl, this is my brother DJ.”
Dylan turned to look at Dante and his mouth dropped open. Standing him front of him was a slightly tanned boy that stood almost his height. Dante was 5’7 and maybe 120 pounds. He had short perfectly cut brown hair and brown eyes. He had a dimple on his chin that showed like a beam when he smiled and a few small freckles on his cheeks and nose. Maybe five total but they just added to the beauty of this boy. The very cute skinny boy was dressed in a light pink shirt and white shorts and Dylan stared at him with his mouth open and without saying a word turned back to Max and looked at him and then turned and looked at Dante again.
“DAMN!!!! He said to Max as he once again looked his way. How come he looks like he would have every girl in town chasing him all over and then I look at you and…”
“DYLAN!” Max screamed at him cutting him off mid sentence.
With that Dante started laughing and Max sorta turned red.
“Dylan you can be such an ass sometimes! Come on lets get some place where we can talk before Phillip sees us.”
He shoved Dylan almost into his brother as they both began to walk away from all windows in the house. Now standing under the overhang they stopped and Dylan once again gave Max a smile and the ‘look’ of wow you have a hot brother there. Max smacked Dylan softly in the head bringing giggles from Dante and Owwwww from Dylan.
“What d ja’ have to do that for?”
“Because you are acting totally gay!”
“Max…! Dylan said. Quiet…he…”
“He knows about you so don’t worry.” Totally cutting him off mid-sentence.
“You told him I was gay. Gee thanks for ruining things before I even got to meet him.”
“Oh shut up!” he said sarcastically.
“Oh, I am so hurt!” Dylan said.
“I’ll give you hurt!” Max barked at him.
Dante found the entire banter between them hilarious as he stood there watching his brother and Dylan go at it.
“Are you two done or does this happen when you two are together? He said finally trying to get them back to the problem at hand. We need to get inside to Phillip don’t we?”
Max looked at his brother.
“Yes we do, if Dylan started behaving we could get past his gawking!”
Dante laughed again almost the exact total opposite of how he was in the car. Max did take note of the immediate change of his brother attitude but didn’t say anything in front of Dylan.
“Yeah Max we need to get inside, your brother is right.”
“Yeah, yeah…. Blah! Okay… now that you have met DJ what is going on inside the house?”
“Not much. Phillip is reading in the study and Brad is or was asleep. He didn’t have a good meeting at all.”
“Oh, what happened?”
“Ummm, I can tell you some later its private remember?”
“Oh, right, yeah… even you aren’t supposed to know a lot.”
“Sure tell that to Bradley he keeps nothing a secret when it comes to me.”
“Right. I almost forgot.”
“How about us getting inside to Phillip?” Dante said.
“Sorry bro. he looked at Dylan. So we are good to go inside?”
“Yes. No matter what you do this is going to shock Phillip and you know as well as I do he is probably going to yell at you for going off like this.”
“Yeah I do but it had to be done.”
“Max why didn’t you tell me you can be in trouble for doing this?”
“Because Phillip will understand when he knows the truth DJ. So please relax it will be fine, I just know it will.”
“I sure hope so because I didn’t come here to get you in trouble with Phillip.”
“He should be okay Dante, Dylan said. He is right Phillip is the best, he just needs to know what is going on, and he seems to react better when he knows before something surprises him.”
Dante just looked at Max.
“What?” Max said to his brother.
“Let’s get this over with. Okay?”
“Sure DJ. I am gonna go ahead and talk to Phillip you wait with Dylan in the hall. He turned to Dylan. And you behave with my little brother!”
“Little? Geeze he is almost as big as me!”
“Dylan!”
“Okay, okay I promise I will be good.”
They headed up the steps to the front door and Max went in while they waited in the hall.
“Phillip I need to talk to you.”
“Sure Max, what is wrong? I can hear it in your voice. Come sit and talk to me.”
Max sat down and looked at Phillip.
“Max you haven’t looked this worried since you got that speeding warning, please tell me you haven’t gotten another one.”
“No Phil, I didn’t, this is a little more important though.”
“Oh? Well please continue.”
“Look there is a lot you know about me but… there is something you don’t know. I have a brother his name is Dante and…” he paused long enough for Phillip to talk.
“And what Max? Is he okay do you need my help?”
“No sir, not really but…”
“Spit it out Max, you know I can’t stand it when you beat around the bush!”
“Sorry, okay then I will just say it…my brother is here I went to get him.”
“WHAT?”
Max cringed with Phillips tone.
“Sorry Max… what do you mean he is here? How and when did he get here?”
“Well…”
Just then Dylan walked in with Dante at his side.
“I think that is our cue to enter.” Dylan said.
Phillip looked at him and then at Max.
“It figures… he is involved with this too!”
Phillip said aloud but rather jokingly. Then he looked at Dylan.
“How much do you know?”
“Enough to get in trouble from you Phil.”
“It figures. Okay…” Phillip just shook his head and smiled.
He got up from his chair and went over to look at Dante.
“My, my…was all he said. He turned and looked at Max. Max this lad has the looks in your family doesn’t he?”
Before Max could say a word Dylan bust out laughing loudly and Dante followed. Phil looked at both of them and then turned to Max.
“What did I say?”
Max had a look of total disgust on his face after what happened outside.
“Short of dissing me you really had to be there Phil but let’s just say Dylan already said something close to what you said.”
“Ohhhhh, that explains why both of them are almost on the floor laughing.”
“Yeah, kinda.” Max said.
Finally things calmed and everyone sat.
“Okay now I want the entire story Max.”
“Well I can tell you a lot but not everything Phil okay?”
“Yes whatever you can to explain why your brother is sitting with us. That’s not asking a lot is it?”
“No sir.”
Dylan cringed when he said sir again. He got away with it the first time but for some reason this time Phillip let it go without comment. He hated sir…
“I don’t know where to begin but you know why I ran away but I never talked to you about my family and for a while now I have been in contact with my brother we have missed each other a lot so I was planning on bringing him here just so we could spend some time together but I didn’t have it planned well so today Dante was supposed to call me to set it up. I was so desperate to see him that I just decided to drive all the way back home and when I got there I waited for him at the phone booth. Most of this was news to Dylan so he listened intently as Max spoke. So I got there before our planned phone call and as Dante was calling me I walked over and stood behind him. Phillip looked at Dante.
“I bet that was some surprise wasn’t it?”
“It was the best. I haven’t been happier in the last two years then when I saw my brother.”
“I can understand that Dante.”
He looked at Max.
“Okay, continue.”
“We got together and hugged and did all the usually I miss you stuff and then we discussed things. I felt bad taking him away from my mom so we decided to go see her.”
“But weren’t you worried about running into your father?”
“Yes and thankfully he wasn’t home.”
“Oh that’s good.” Phil said.
“So I had him go inside and bring my mom out and then I got out of the car and the rest was a blubbering mess.”
Phil smiled.
“I am sure she was happy to see you after two years.”
“Let’s just say I almost got smothered after I got yelled at.”
“She yelled at you?” Dylan asked.
“Well not yelled at me more like yelled that I was still alive.”
“Oh, that makes more sense.” Dylan added.
“Anyway, after talking to mom and telling her almost all of the horrible truth she thought it would be best if Dante came back with me for a while and she was going to have a big talk with my father over everything that we told her.”
“Do you think that’s safe Max? Aren’t you concerned that he might hurt her?”
“She seems to think she can handle it and I wasn’t in any position to tell her no. So Dante got his stuff and to make a longer story short I brought him here for a few days. I hope you don’t mind. I am sorry I did this behind your back but there is more to this than what I told you Phil I just can’t talk about it because it’s too embarrassing.”
“Max… you know I care very much about you and although I am not mad it bothers me that you couldn’t have come to me first with all this so we could have made emergency plans just incase something bad happened.”
“I’m sorry Phil but it all went down last minute and you weren’t even back from going out with Brad by the time I left.”
“Oh well that does make things a bit tougher but nevertheless… I am upset with how you did this and I expect if anything happens from here on out you are to tell me immediately or else there will be consequences.”
“Yes Phil I am sorry. I promise you will be told everything from now on.”
“Good because you don’t want me taking that car away for a week do you?”
“Hell no!” Max said.
“Good because if anything ever happened how would you have gotten help?”
“Dylan knew what was happening and I would have called him.”
“A lot of good that would have done forty or more miles away! You get my point?”
“Yes Phil.”
“Good! I’ll get Eliza to make up the spare room for him and you can bring his things in.”
“Thanks Phil.”
“Yes thank you sir.”
“And one more thing…” Phil said as he stood up.
“Come over here.”
Max walked over to Phil. He put his arms out and Max hugged him.
“You better be sure you remember you can trust me young man I would die if I lost you.”
“Sorry.”
Max buried his head in Phil’s chest and a few seconds later they broke their hug.
“Dante…”
“Yes sir?”
“There is one rule that you must follow first and foremost.”
“What is that sir?”
“Boys tell him please.”
In unison…
“Don’t call Phil sir… he hates that.”
“Oh, sorry… um… Phil.”
All of us started laughing as Dante stuttered to figure out what words to use.
“Go get your things Dante and bring them in. Max will help you. JD you stay here.”
As they left the room you could hear Dante asking Max if I was in trouble. I wondered that myself as I stood in front of Phillip.
“Something wrong Phil?”
“Not really. I mean I am a little upset with you over what Max did and you not telling me but I know there has to be trust in this house and it can’t be broken all the time so its okay but what I do want to know if anything happened with Bradley after he came back I didn’t get to talk to you about it until now.”
“He was very upset Phil, I mean I have dealt with him
during the nightmares but this was different. He thought this guy could help
him. He thought that he might sleep tonight. He wanted to talk about this not
just have someone tell him to take a pill. He cried for a while Phil… I did
what I could but he was really hurt. I just hope wherever you go tomorrow this
new doctor does something because I don’t want to lose Brad Phil.”
Now I was sniffing back tears. Phil put his hand on my shoulder.
“We will get through this JD. I promise. I will find a doctor to listen to our cute friend and we will get him the help he needs as soon as we can.”
“I know Phil I trust you will do anything for him but he seems to be running out of patients with this and I am really afraid that something might snap inside him if another doctor rejects him like this.”
“Don’t worry I will explain it all tomorrow before I let Brad talk to the doctor. This is getting more and more serious now and I am worried too. We will get through this my boy. I just know it.”
“It’s been a while Phil I am gonna go check on him.”
“Good because believe it or not dinner will be soon it’s already after 6.”
“Wow this day is flying. Here comes Max and Dante. I am gonna go wake up Brad.”
“Okay JD any problems get me immediately.”
“I will.”
I turned to leave and waved to Max and his brother as I headed upstairs. Phil was talking to them at the bottom of the step as I walked out of earshot. I did hear them banging up the steps as I approached Brad’s door. I turned the knob and slowly opened it. He was sleeping on his bed. I walked over to my sweet and cute love and sat next to him on the bed. My movement startled him awake some. Slowly I ran my fingers up and down his back as he was sleeping on his side but mostly on his belly.
“Hey Brad wake up.” I said softly.
He opened his eyes and looked at me.
“That feels awesome JD don’t stop.”
I continued to rub his back as he lay on his belly now for the next few minutes.
“There is news cute boy. I thought you would like to know that while you have been asleep Max went and got his brother Dante and he is here with us for a few days.”
He stopped me by rolling over on his back.
“Is he cute?”
I laughed.
“You horn dog! Yes he is… he puts Max to shame. He is almost as tall as me.”
“Damn I gotta see this kid… Dante you said?”
“Yes Dante and don’t get any idea’s I saw him first.”
“Don’t you dare Jacob Dylan!”
“Oh aren’t we formal using the full names Bradley Peter.”
“Cut it out Dyl you know I hate my middle name.”
Yet another thing I don’t understand but maybe the doctor can deal with.
“Yeah, yeah…”
I said busting him. Then I leaned in and went to give him a kiss on the cheek. He turned and our lips met. We kissed for a little bit with neither of us really wanting to stop.
“You know how much I love you JD… he said as he broke away for a second and then brought his lips back to mine. He kissed me again and then stopped. That much!” he said.
“I love you too cute boy and no matter what don’t you ever forget that.”
I got off him and he sat up.
“I won’t Dyl.”
“Brad please tell me something okay?”
“Sure Dyl anything.”
“Tell me that no matter what happens tonight in bed or tomorrow that when you come home from the doctor you will tell me anything that bothers you or whatever you feel comfortable about.”
“You know I will. Why are you saying this?”
“Because when I talked to you after you got back… the way you talked and how you acted scared me. When I was talking to Phil about it before I almost lost it right in front of him because I am so worried about you.”
He leaned in and hugged me tightly.
“I’m sorry about that Dyl. I was mad at the quack for doing nothing and my hopes were so high. All I thought about was getting a good night sleep tonight and not having to bother you.”
“That is going to happen eventually sweetie I just know it. You are so strong inside. I said as I pointed to his chest. That none of this is going to take over you. You are my rock cutie and I don’t ever want you to forget about that. I don’t think I could live without you anymore.”
He smiled at me.
“Thanks Dyl.”
“For what? All I did was speak the truth.”
“Yeah I know but you have a way of making me feel like a billion dollars and you just did it to me again.”
He hugged me after he said that and I hugged back tightly. I whispered in his ear.
“I would die if anything happened to you don’t you forget that cute boy. You make sure you stay with me forever!”
He broke his hug and looked at me.
“I feel the same JD I would die without you too, you are the only one who knows how to deal with me when I have a bad dream about that bastard!”
“Come on lets forget about this, don’t you want to meet Dante?”
“Hell yeah!”
We both got off the bed and I looked at him.
“Fix yourself; you don’t need a hot looking fifteen year old seeing you look like you just cried.”
“Oh yeah… I almost forgot.”
I laughed as he ran into the bathroom. I heard the water run and he came out looking refreshed a few minutes later.
“Okay, I am ready bring me to this cute boy.”
I laughed as he followed me to Dante’s room. I knocked and after a second Max opened the door. He saw us and turned to Dante.
“Hey DJ there are two guys out here and I think one of them wants to meet you.”
We heard him walk over and then poke his body around Max’s. He had his shirt off and that just added to his cuteness almost knocking me to the floor.
“Who is this Max?” he said.
“This is Brad.”
“Oh, okay.”
He stuck out his hand and Brad smiled as he shook the half naked boy’s hand.
“Nice to meet you Dante.”
“Same here Brad,”
After he let go both boys backed off the door and Max opened it for us. Brad looked at me.
“DAMN!” he said as quietly as he could making me laugh.
We walked in together and watched as Dante pulled a shirt over his head. A second later the cute boy was no longer showing his pecks off to us and I thought I could hear Brads heart break right there as the half naked boy was no more.
“So you ready for some good chow?” I asked breaking the silence in the room.
“Yeah, Dante said. Max told me that the chef is an awesome cook. Do you know what we are having tonight?”
“No, I said. I didn’t ask but it will probably be something awesome as usual”
“Good, I am starving lets go!” Dante said as he walked towards us. Max followed and then we walked after them.
Both of us had our eyes fixed on this sweet looking hunk of teenager as he walked down the steps in front of us. Good thing Max had his back to me I didn’t want him seeing me drool all over myself. We got to the kitchen and almost as if it were planned Phil walked in and joined us.
“What’s for dinner tonight Phil?” Max asked.
“Like I didn’t know that question was coming from one of you. I asked chef to make something special tonight because we have a guest so we will be having liver and onions.”
He said it with a straight face and all of our chins hit the floor. Then he laughed and smiled. He got us and he was perfect he didn’t let on for a good ten seconds while we all went yuck inside.
“Sorry boys I had to do that, I wanted to see the look on all your faces when I said that and boy they were priceless.”
“Funny Phil.” I said.
“I do think so.” He added.
“We are having filet mignon steaks and mashed potatoes with a choice of three vegetables. I didn’t know what Dante likes so I had chef make three in hopes he would choose one. Pea’s, corn, and carrots will be your choices.”
He looked at Dante.
“I hope you like one of them.”
“Yes I actually like all three. Thank you.”
“Well chef makes plenty so there will be lots of meat, potatoes, and veggies for all. Boys take your seats its time for chow!”
And we did. I was starving and by the looks of Dante, Max, and Brad they weren’t too far behind me. Chef brought out two huge plates of mouth watering steaks and put them down on either side of us. Before he could bring out the rest we had the plates empty. He laughed as he put down two bowls of mashed and grabbed the steak plates.
“I knew that would happen so there is plenty more.” He said as he walked off.
All I did was wet my lips as I looked at my succulent piece of meat in front of me and took a huge scoop of mashed and put it next to my steak. Dinner went awesomely well and we all ate till we couldn’t take another bite. I watched Dante eat and he didn’t do much less than put us to shame as he kept up without a problem. We all had at least two huge pieces of steak, lots of veggies, and plenty of mashed.
“Okay now that you boys have eaten like it was the end of the world who wants dessert?” Phil said.
“Damn I almost forgot about that.” Max said as he laughed. We all knew he was kidding.
“Okay Phil what is it gonna be?” I asked.
“Two choices, he said… he paused and I yelled out… better not be liver and onions and everyone cracked up… when Phil was done laughing he cleared his throat and spoke. Funny Dylan, leave it up to you… but no its not. We are having banana crème pie and Vanilla or chocolate pudding with fresh whipped crème. There is plenty boys so if you still have room tell chef what you want.”
Let’s just say if we weren’t full after dinner we sure were after dessert. None of us could move as we polished off at least one or two pieces of pie and some pudding too being the piggy gluttons we were.
“I am gonna burst!” Brad said.
“Not before me!” Dante added.
We all laughed as chef came out and said good night. We thanked him and he waved as he left the room.
“Damn that was awesome!” Max added.
By the time we were done it was almost 7:30 and I needed a swim. Of course I wanted to see more of Dante so I said out loud…
“Anyone want to swim?”
I looked at Dante and he practically jumped at the idea. Then I looked at Brad and he smiled at me. We got up and headed to the steps. As we approached Dante spoke.
“I just realized I don’t have a swimming suite.”
I looked at Brad, then at Max and finally at Dante.
“Guess you will have to go in totally naked.”
Brad started to laugh and Max gave me a dirty look then Dante looked at me.
“That’s fine I don’t care.”
Both of our jaws dropped as that hit our brains and before we could comment Max opened his mouth.
“No way little brother! Not gonna happen today, tomorrow or next week! Those two aren’t getting any free presents while you are here.”
Dante smiled at us and Max just pushed him up the steps.
“I have plenty of suits for you to wear! Get going!”
We got to the top of the steps and Max went to get a suit for his brother while Dante waited at his door.
“Were you serious?” I asked him.
“Sure why not. We are all guys and yes I know you are both gay so…”
As fast as he started to make my cock hard it deflated. He was just teasing the whole time… I Think… DAMN HIM!!! Now I have to work harder to see what Dante is hiding from me. You know I will do my best before he leaves to somehow find my way into his pants or at least under them… without being killed by Max.
“Damn your brother has a big mouth!” I said.
“I heard that!” came from down the hall.
Dante laughed and I headed to my room to change, Brad was already in his, I wanted to be out of reach before Max got back, he probably would have hit me for my comment. As I went into my room I realized that Dante is a ball buster and he must have set us up for that since he knew we were gay. Now I am gonna have a good talk with Max when I can about that and find some way to get even with Dante for being such a ball buster to me. He is gonna get a piece of my mind for sure and then Max, even though I am sure I will get an even bigger piece of his given back to me when I am done.
