My flight from London had just landed at Atlanta International Airport and
was on my way to the luggage area when my cell phone started vibrating. I
took the call from my Mom who was almost frantic. My Dad was in Oregon on
a business trip and my Grandparents in Florida had been in an auto
accident, My Gran was admitted to Sarasota Memorial and Dad couldn't get
away to go to them.
I got my luggage and rushed to the ticket counter and booked myself on the
next flight to St. Pete. I was bone tired, the flight from London was
tiring enough, now I was flying out again without even going to my
apartment in Atlanta. Mom didn't have any details, just that Gran had some
sort of head injury and Gramps was beside himself with worry about her.
I'm Tatum Thibodeaux Thursam (can you believe that name!), 24 years old,
132 pounds strung out over a 5'7" frame, with brown hair and green eyes.
Despite the names chosen for me by my parents, I managed to survive
Elementary and High School with only three or four fights a year. All of
them because of my unfortunate name. I was called `Tater' most all of my
school days until I started college.
I've always been smaller that the other guys in school and therefore always
the last to be chosen for team sports during P.E. I learned to fight and
by my third year in High School I had earned a reputation as a tough little
guy who could hold his own even with the bigger guys. The bright side of
my ostracism was that I studied a lot, made great grades, and was easily
accepted at Georgia Tech. The only school sport I got a chance to
participate in was at College as a Diver on the Swim Team. I was good at
diving and won some important events and still hold two state records.
My Gran and Gramps gave me the London trip, plus a months expenses while in
London, as a present for graduating and earning my Masters in Electrical
Engineering at Georgia Tech. I finished my Masters Degree requirements in
mid August and I flew off to London on the first of day of September. I
arrived back in Atlanta today, September 30th and bought a ticket to
St. Petersburg. The connecting flight to Sarasota was a four hour wait so
I rented a car and took off for Sarasota. The rental car had a GPS so I
found the Hospital quickly and when I walked into the ER waiting room my
Gramps burst into tears as he came rushing to me. He told me that there
had been a fender bender accident, just minor damage to the cars but that
Gran had bumped her head hard.
We were still in the lobby area when Gran's Doctor came to give Gramps an
update. When I Gramps introduced me his smile lit up his handsome face.
"Ahh, you're the prodigal Grandson I've heard so many good things about.I'd
like to talk with you later when you've had time to visit with your
Grandmother."
Dr. Cooper assured us that Gran just had a bad bump to her head and he was
fairly certain that nothing much should come of it. However, she is 72
years old and he wanted her to stay overnight for further observation.
Wow! I wasn't too tired to see that Gran's Doctor is a hunk! Tall, thin
and beautiful. When talking to me he looked directly into my eyes. I know
I didn't hear all of what he was saying about Gran, I was mesmerized by his
eyes, so blue it was startling seeing them for the first time.
Dr. Gorgeous made me feel weak in the knees, maybe it just because I'm so
jet-lagged right now, or the fact that it's been almost three months since
I've had sex. I should add here that I have been gay as long as I have
been aware of the pleasures this marvelous organ between my legs can give
me. I was at college, first semester of my freshman year when, I had my
first sexual experience with a man. I had jacked off with friends in high
school, but never anything more than masturbation. It was an upper
classman and a Fraternity brother that introduced me to pleasures of Man
Sex.
If the good doctor still looks this good the next time I see him I might
try to talk him into making a house call. He gave me a packet of papers
for Gran, some instructions for exercise, some mumbo jumbo disclaimers and
side effects advisories about the medicines and the last page simply
said...Campbell Cooper - 780-985-2519. Under the name was his cell number
227-1984 scribbled in pen. As I turned to leave I tripped and almost did a
header into the wall, The Good Doctor stepped over quickly, steadying me
and kept me upright, damn, he smells so good!
It was almost six pm and I talked Gramps into going to the cafeteria to
have something to eat. He hadn't eaten since breakfast. He surprised me
by loading his tray with a lot more food than I ever thought he would eat,
but to his credit, he ate almost every bite. All during our meal he kept
thanking me for coming so quickly and how glad he was that it was me here
instead of my Dad.
"Don't get me wrong Tatum, I love your Dad dearly, he's my Son, but he gets
a bit bossy when he comes to visit with us. He treats us like we were his
c***dren instead of the other way around. With you, I can talk about any
of our problems and you listen to us, treat us with respect and we love you
for it. There are thousands of other reasons we love you too. But I know,
we know, you'll try your best to do what we want done. Your father wants
everything done his way."
I laughed at the contempt he put into that last sentence."Dad is a bit
headstrong sometimes Gramps, I've often wondered how he manages his
business dealings with his stubborn streak. I'm glad he didn't pass that
trait along to me. Mom says I'm like you, even tempered, never too high or
too low and I calmly rationalize things out."
He smiled at me.
"Your Mom is a smart lady, we've often wondered how your Dad ever talked
her into marrying him. Your a good boy Tatum, just your being here has
calmed me down. We need to finish up here and go see your Gran. She's
going to get a big surprise when you walk into her room."
"Gramps I want to thank you and Gran again for that wonderful trip to
London. It is such a wonderful city, so alive and bustling. I've never
enjoyed any place more."
Gran was sitting up looking out the window when I walked in with Gramps.
He had me hide behind him and asked her if she was ready for a special
gift. She laughed and said "great, are we going home?"
He stepped aside and Gran squealed with elation.
"TATUM! Oh! My sweet boy!"
She wrapped me in her thin, fragile arms as I let her hug me to her. She's
so tiny I was afraid to hug her too hard. Gran always smells of Lavender
perfume, I think of her every time I smell it.
"Seeing you here makes all this folderol worth the trouble. Let me look at
you, Ahh I see, you take after your grandfather over there, you get more
handsome every time I see you. You're the best medicine I've had yet, when
we get home you have to tell us all about your trip."I managed to get
Gramps home to their place at about eight pm, he went to sleep in his
recliner and I went to sleep on the sofa. I woke at 2am and roused him up
and to his bedroom and I headed for the guest room, we slept until nine
thirty. I got up, made coffee and oatmeal with buttered toast and we
headed out to the hospital when we finished our breakfast.
Near noon I went to the cafeteria for coffee and a piece of pie, and to
give Gran and Gramps a break, some alone time. I had my tray and I turned
to find a seat, I noticed a man waving. It was Dr. HUNK! Gran's Doctor
was sitting a few tables away waving me over to sit with him. I was
surprised, a bit alarmed hoping it wasn't bad news about Gran, plus I was
more than a little curious about this hunky young doctor. First I feared
he would tell me some bad news about my Gram's condition.
As I approached he rose and held out his hand, I sat my tray down and we
shook hands,I was a bit intimidated by his looks. Dr. Campbell Cooper was
an extremely handsome man, at least in my eyes. I guessed him to be about
28, he was tall, somewhere over six feet, but thin, too thin I thought. I
imagined him working straight through two shifts, regularly, and not eating
nor sleeping as often as he should, as most young Medical Professionals are
known to do. While I am a bit vertically challenged at 5'7", I much prefer
tall men, and I found plenty of them at college. Most times I was the
pursued and most of those trying to seduce me, found me ready and willing
to be seduced. All but two of my sex partners were in the School of
Engineering at Georgia Tech. Through four plus years of College I had sex
with ten guys, eight of them were fraternity brothers and two were guys I
had met out clubbing.
Back to Dr. Cooper, he has decided that Gran should stay one more night to
be on the safe side, the way he smiled at me made me think that maybe he
wanted me to hang around a bit longer, too. My Gaydar is nearly always
spot on accurate, usually within a fetish or two. I was certain that I was
getting signals that gorgeous Dr. Campbell Cooper is gay, and for some
reason, interested in me, or I should say he liked my looks. He hasn't had
time to know anything about me with only one brief meeting before now.
"Your Gran tells me you've just returned from a month in London. I'm so
jealous, that is a dream trip I want to make someday."
"Yes, it was the highlight of my life so far. I've always had an affinity
for all things British. I could go and live there tomorrow." I said.
"Do you live here or are you just visiting your Grandparents?" Dr. Cooper
asked.
"I live in Atlanta, or I did. After finishing my Masters degree, I took
off for London and haven't been back there except to change planes and come
here." I said.
"Well, Sarasota could certainly use some new blood and I'll vote for you to
stay here awhile."
I felt myself blushing.
"Gee, I hope I wasn't too forward, uh...may I call you Tatum?"
"Please, call me Tate, only my Grandparents call me Tatum, it's my Gran's
maiden name, and no, you were not too forward. I'm beginning to feel that
I might need the care of Doctor Cooper at any moment now.'
He laughed loudly. Then leaned toward me and whispered."I can assure you
Tate, I will make a house call to care for you. I would like to take you
to dinner one evening if you're agreeable."
"That would be very nice Doctor, very nice indeed. I may begin my search
for employment here instead of back in Atlanta."
Being nearer my Gran and Gramps has been in the back of my mind for a while
now, sometimes they make me feel that I'm the most important person in
their lives. I'm much more comfortable with Gran and Gramps than I am with
my parents. At home with three k**s, my folks had little time for anything
but supporting and feeding a house full. The three of us were spaced two
years apart, I'm 24,and the youngest.
This is the perfect time to get a job near them so that I can see them
regularly. They haven't many good years left to them and I just want to
share this time with them.
"I wasn't very excited about being in Sarasota at first, however it seems
that my opinion of the City is changing favorably by the minute."
"Great! I have Monday and Tuesday off. Which night would you prefer for
our dinner date."
"Monday of course, that way if things go well, we can do it again on
Tuesday." I said.
"Hmm, I like the way you think Tate, and please call me Cam or Cameron."
He picked up a napkin and wrote his cell number down and gave it to me, I
followed, giving him mine. We chatted a bit more. I learned that he was
28, earned his Medical degree at Duke and did his residency in Charlotte,
NC. The Sarasota ER was his first job with a Doctor sized paycheck. He
particularly liked working with the elderly patients he found here.
"There has been an endless parade of Granddaughters who `popped in' to
visit Grandmother while her Doctor was consulting with her. But your
delightful Grandparents had the good grace to present their very own and
very handsome, young Grandson for my approval."
He told me that he really liked my grandparents, my Gran was inviting him
to Dinner frequently since they met back when Gramps blew out his
kneeplaying with a neighbor's dog a year or so ago.
"You're Gran let me know that she was very sure that her Grandson and I
would hit it off well. To her credit, she nailed me spot on. Physically
you're very near my `ideal mate', looks wise, I'll be a bit insecure at
first. You are way too good looking to be interested in my skinny body.
But you sure have caught my eye."
I laughed and said.
"`Catching your eye is one thing Cameron, keeping it is quite another. I
should tell you straight away that I don't do hook up sex and I don't sleep
around. Ideally I would like to date and see where our interests take us.
My ultimate goal is finding a mate, my life partner; it's quite obvious
that a mutual attraction has already been achieved."
"Your Gran and Gramps know you're gay? She told me that you would be the
perfect young man for me to make friends with."
"Oh gosh, I've asked her time and time again to not do that. She and
Gramps know I'm gay of course, and she has matchmaking in her DNA I think.
I hope she didn't embarrass you."
"Quite the contrary Tate. The more you and I talk, the more I think she
has the gift. I certainly like what I've seen so far. My family knows
about me too and they are so anxious that I settle down with someone and at
least give them Granddogs."
I laughed at that. I really liked this Campbell Cooper, MD. He was
handsome, charming and with a clever wit. Aside from his obvious good
looks there is a cuteness quality about him that drew me in like a magnet,
I had this feeling that I wanted to kiss him, right here. I knew better,
but I still wanted too.
We finished our food and Cam had to get back to his patients. On our way
he poked his head into a Doctors lounge and quickly pulled me inside. It
was empty and he pressed his back to the wall and pulled me up into a kiss
that completely wrecked me.
"`Sorry for the surprise factor but that had to be done or I would have
been useless the rest of this day." Cam said.
I know I stood there slack jawed, looking stupid, but I was shaking in my
shoes. The Doctor knows how to kiss! I already wanted another.
"How did you know...I was just thinking as we sat at the table that I
wanted to kiss you...you can do it again if you want. I..."
His mouth covered mine again and our tongues battled to get into the others
mouth. I felt his hardness pressed against me and mine throbbed against
him. We broke away, both a bit stunned by the intensity of the passion
ignited by our kiss.
"Come, we need to get out of here before someone comes in on us. Besides,
we need to cool our jets a bit. I never expected a kiss to be that
revealing. If this is any indication of things to come, I'll need to send
your Gran a bouquet of roses. Wow!"
"That was intense! We had better get out of here like you said. But
thanks and you are right. WOW!" I said.
He stopped at the Nurses station and I went on to Gran's room. When I
entered her room she knew immediately that something was up with me.
Probably, it was the stupid grin spread across my face that gave me away.
Quietly so Gramps wouldn't hear she asked.
"Is it Dr. Cooper?"
I had to laugh, but I looked at her and nodded my head yes as she broke
into a mile wide grin and settled back into her pillows. She reached out
for my hand and I took hers and she just looked at me smiling.
"Now it's all up to you Tatum, make something happen. You're almost 25
years old. I had two c***dren before I was your age. He is a good man
Tatum, and as smart and almost as handsome as you are, you'll be hard
pressed to ever find a better man. Just remember that."
"Yes Ma'am I know, but we've only just met. We are going to dinner Monday
night though." I told her.
She just gave me that smile again and said.
"Just don't mess it up Tatum, you are your fathers son and that worries me
a bit. He would always mess up with the good ones. How he convinced
you're sweet Mother to marry him is beyond me."
Gramps roused from watching the Television and said."Uh oh...what are you
two cooking up over there, whispering and laughing can only mean she's
matchmaking again. She can't help it, bless her heart. Her Momma was the
same way. Watch out Tatum, she'll be matching you up with her Doctor
before you know it."
Gran looked at me and rolled her eyes.
"He's mine and I love him, but heaven knows, he is slow to pick up on
things sometimes."
About an hour later I went outside to the courtyard to get some fresh air
and to give Gran and Gramps some time alone. I also had hoped to get a
glimpse of Dr. Hot Lips while I was out but no luck in that. I went back
to her room and there he was, Dr. Hot Lips in the flesh. He was facing
away from me while taking her pulse. He had turned to make a note on her
chart when he saw me. He smiled a snarky little smile like he knew
something no one else knew, then wrote on her chart. Once he was through
he nodded to me and gave me that snarky smile again. He thanked them again
for suggesting we meet. He told Gran that she should start a matchmaking
business.
Gramps spoke up.
"Don't encourage her Doctor. She's bad enough as it is."
Dr. Cooper told them that after re-evaluating her condition she could be
discharged and go home this afternoon. He asked me to come with him and
he'd give me the necessary paperwork for Gramps to sign. After getting the
paperwork done he took my elbow and walked me down the hall to another
lounge. We met two nurses coming out as he led me in. He stood with his
back to the door and pulled me into another of those mind blowing kisses of
his. I was helpless, he could have done anything he wanted with me right
then.
After we parted he looked at me for a second or two before speaking. It
was like he was searching my mind, looking into my soul or something. It
gave my stomach a flip flop, like a gut punch.
"This is crazy! I should never be stealing kisses from you in the Doctors
Lounge. You make me do crazy things. Tate, it's only Friday, would you be
willing to meet me for dinner here tomorrow, we're still on for Monday but
I don't want to wait until Monday to see you again. We'll just talk and
eat, no sneaking into the lounge for kissing."
"In that case could you come out to my car for a bit. We could find a
secluded spot and sneak a kiss or two there." I said.
"So it isn't just me, you like it too?" he asked.
"Yes, since the first one, it's always on my mind. You are a very good
kisser Dr. Hot Lips. I think I may always want to kiss you."
He called my cell three times on Saturday, twice just to chat for a few
minutes and on the third to tell me it was time for his dinner break. I
took him a large mocha latte from Starbucks and we sat in the cafeteria,
both of us giddy with the feelings of our new adventure. I was starry eyed
when I left him. He called again at midnight like he had promised he
would, just to wish me sweet dreams and say good night.
He certainly knew all the right things to do to make me fall for him. I
had the nervous, excited, anxious anticipation feeling that we get when we
begin to really like someone and think about them constantly, hoping that
by some miracle that they will like you like you like them.
Cam stayed at the hospital all night and called me at ten on Sunday
Morning. He would be off duty from six o'clock Sunday evening until
midnight Tuesday. He wanted me to go home with him after his long shift
but I finally convinced him that we would both have a much better time on
our dinner date if he stayed awake, he got the message and slept. He
called me at 2pm, ready to start our dinner date.
We talked and decided that we would meet at the Mall. It was about halfway
between Cam's Apartment and my Grandparents home. I knew better than to go
to his place. We would never get out the door and would wind up in his
bed. I told Gran and Gramps that I would be late getting in tonight and to
call me if they needed me.
We met at the Mall and I parked Gramps 1967 El Dorado, restored and
modernized to fit in with today's cars with 4-wheel disc brakes, engine
modifications to accommodate todays fuel, this car was absolutely a
knockout, done in black on black. Crowds gathered at traffic stops to see
the car. It has been washed and vacuumed every week, and polished and
waxed every month since Gramps bought it new. I jumped into Cam's one year
old Mustang Convertible, dark metallic grey with saddle tan top and saddle
tan leather interior. It was a super nice car, I had no idea that it would
be so nice inside.
Cam drove to Washington Blvd. and pulled into the parking lot at Bellagio,
a well known local Italian Restaurant, the best in the city, I was told.
The food was wonderful and the Sangria made fresh at our table was out of
this world. We talked and laughed and found that we had a lot more in
common other than this huge, raw, sexual attraction we each felt for the
other. We like the same books, the same types of movies, horseback riding,
the beach, traveling, Parasailing and College Football.
Everything is easy when I'm around Cameron. No nerves, just friends having
a good time. After dinner we drove to Lido Beach and walked in the edge of
the surf with pant legs rolled up and shoes and socks back at the car.
Cameron told me all about his family; how he loves working with the elderly
here, he told me he had been thinking of buying a home here, a Condo
really, but he said he was putting that on hold while we get to know each
other.
"Why would you wait about that just because you met me?" I asked.
"If this thing between us goes along like I hope it will, you'll have to
like the new place too. If we get that far, I think we will want a house,
not a condo. How's that for looking down the road, Tate?"
"Jeez, Cam, really?
"Yeah, there's no rush, I really do like you Tate. I mean I really, really
like you. You're the first guy I've met here that has given me any hope of
finding my one guy."
I turned to look at his handsome face. He looked at me quickly, winked and
put an arm across my shoulders. In another few minutes we stopped walking
and started to turn around and head back. He looked around and saw that we
were in the dark, out of range of the street lamps in the parking area. He
turned me, bent his head down and pulled me into a kiss. This one lasted
for a couple of hours it seems, I put my arms around his neck and just held
on. His kisses turn my legs to jelly, I held on tight to keep from
falling.
Afterwards we walked back toward the car, arms around each other, his over
my shoulder, mine around his waist with my fingers tucked inside the
waistband of his slacks. Being together like this felt so natural, like we
were together and had been this way for a long time, when in reality we had
only known each other for four days. I've never felt like this before.
When he pulled up beside Gramps Eldorado, I didn't want to this night to
end, I didn't want to leave him. He kissed me goodnight and I reluctantly
got into the Caddy and watched Cam drive out of sight. Just as I was
pulling into the drive at my Grandparents house my cell vibrated in my
pocket. I fished it out and it was Cam telling me what a wonderful night
he had and how he wanted to spend part of the day with me. He would be off
duty until one P.M. and asked it I wanted to grab lunch.
"Yes I'd love to have lunch with you Cameron, but how about a Quick Picnic
at the beach? I'll bring a surprise lunch for you. I'll pick you up.at
Ten o'clock, we'll drive to the beach, soak up some sun then have a picnic
lunch before you have to go to the hospital. See you then!"
"Nine O'clock, not Ten." Cam shouted at the phone. Please, 9am.
"You need the sleep Cam."
"What I need Tate Thursam, is every single minute I can get with you. I'll
be ready at 9 am."
"Okay, okay, I give. Nine it is. You need to know up front that I'm the
caregiver type, I got a double dose of those genes from both of my
Grandmothers. You get a good nights sleep, Sweet dreams Cam."
Jeez, he was insisting that we have another hour together! Hmmm. I was up
early searching the Internet and found a 24 hour Whole Foods Market over on
First street and picked up the makings for a Caesar Salad. From the
prepared food section I selected Sliced Asian Chicken Breast, Sautéed
and topped with a Sesame Wasabi sauce, A bottle of Mos**to d'Asti and a
Mango-Passion fruit dessert. I rushed over to the World Market and picked
out a nice basket, dishes and wine glasses and then back to the house by
7:30am to get things ready.
The salad was in different containers ready for assembly when we sat down
at the concrete table at the beach. I laid out the a table cloth and food,
then put the Caesar Salad together. Cameron's eyes were wide and his mouth
open. When I poured the wine he regained his speech.
"Wow, what a spread! Did you do this or have it done."
"I just put it all together Cam, you can do wonders with a idea and a debit
card at the Whole Foods Market. From the time I was a little k**, Mom and
Dad took me with them to the Summer Concerts at Chastain Park in Atlanta,
we went there at least once a year, often more, until I went to college.
There we some great shows I remember.
My folks dated and married in the disco era and loved the big, full
orchestral arrangements, even as a k** I couldn't be still listening to
their music. We took picnics to the Concerts and over the years our tables
improved until we were on the fifth row of tables. Some folks saw it as a
competition, trying to one up the others with their elaborate table
settings and gourmet food.
But really, Great Grandmothers 12 taper Sterling Silver Candelabra on a
concrete picnic table? Puh-leeze! Granted, Grannies finest china, crystal
and silver were also set out. The saddest part though was that we could
see 5 or 6 silver candelabras in sight, without turning around. Lucky for
us Mom was more into good food than the trappings. Anyway, I can do a
picnic fast and fabulous"
"You are always surprising me Tate. This food is absolutely wonderful!"
"I'm so glad you like it Cam, I wasn't sure what you liked but I figured
that anything that wasn't from the Hospital Cafeteria would go over well.
I'm learning to cook too. I still have a lot to learn but it is fun
experimenting with new dishes."
We laughed and talked while we ate, beneath the table our legs and feet
were touching the entire time we were there. Long before we were ready for
it, Cam had to get back to work. Back at the Hospital he ordered me to the
back row of the parking lot. As soon as I put the car in park Cam was
pulling me into another of his mind altering kisses. I never resisted him,
the instant his lips and tongue touch mine, he has complete power over me,
my only thought is please, please don't stop!
Gasping for breath, I drove us to the ER entrance and Cam kissed his
forefinger and pressed it to my lips as he got out of the car.
"Thank you for the wonderful surprise lunch Tate. I don't want to rush us
but all I can think of now is you and I making love. Think about it, when
you are ready so am I. By the way, I've sent two dozen yellow roses to
your Gran along with a note of thanks. See you after work I hope. You're
driving me to distraction, you know, I think about you constantly and crave
your presence."
"Yeah, I know Cam, it's the same with me. Get to work Hotlips, I'll see you
after your shift."
He turned and jogged into the ER and I watched his body move, uh...really I
just watched his cute little butt as he ran inside. This man has me gaga
for him in less than a week. I can't keep the smile off my face these
days.
Back at the house with Gram and Gramps, I was almost giddy. When I got
there they were out on the Lanai having their afternoon cocktail, I took a
quick glance at my watch and smiled when I saw that it was 1:08pm. On the
coffee table in front of them sat the largest arrangement of yellow roses I
have ever seen. When I walked in they both laughed.
"Okay Tatum, sit down and tell us about him. You have a silly grin on your
face, you look very much like a young man in love. Tell us about him."
Gran said pointing to the roses.
I blushed, embarrassed that they read my thoughts so easily. Driving to
their place I had been thinking that I was falling fast for Cameron. He is
all I can think about these days.
I have always been able to talk with Gran and Gramps about my personal
life, things I wouldn't even think of telling my parents about it. They've
never judged me, they've always encouraged me to follow my dreams and my
heart in work, love and play. Their secret to a happy, productive life.
I told them all I knew about Cameron, what a good person he is, how I
really liked him, how he says he really likes me and that I was thinking of
staying here for a while, looking for a job here. I explained that I had
started thinking about living closer to them while I was still in London.
Iwas thinking of settling in Tampa or St. Pete at that time.
I knew that I really wanted to get out of Atlanta for a while. I've lived
there all my life and I want to experience other places, Sarasota made the
list only because of Gran and Gramps at first, but now with Cameron a real
possibility in my life, Sarasota is where I have to be. I already knew
that if he asked me...I would live with him, love him and we would build a
future together. I laughed and thought. `Hows that for looking down the
road Cam? I'll see your house and raise you our future together!'Gran and
Gramps got very excited at the prospect of having me in town. I know that
having family close is a comfort for them as they age, but they were so
happy that it would be me there with them. My sister has her own family in
Virginia and my brother has his in Atlanta but neither of them are as close
to our Dad's parents as I am.
We have fun together, playing cards, going for a drive, out for dinner, I
play Golf with Gramps, I take Gran shopping and to the Symphony when Gramps
begs off. She drags me after her into all the shops she frequents just to
show off her Grandson, a graduate of Georgia Tech and a hell of an
Electrical Engineer!
Gran and Gramps are fun people. I remembered them playing records and
dancing in the dining room when I was a k**. I liked them as people and
have a good time with them. The fact that they are family is just a bonus.
Of course they both approved of Cameron, doesn't every Grandparent want
their Grandc***d to marry a Doctor!
It is Monday and Cam's shift ends at nine tonight night and he doesn't
return to work until one o'clock Thursday afternoon. When he called at
five he was grabbing a bite at the cafeteria.
"So Tate, what would you like to do this evening, the beach, a movie, you
name it, I'm yours until Thursday, 1 pm.
"In that case, we'll eat at the beach, and walk off into the dark places
for kissing for a few hours."
I did another picnic, dinner this time, I just want it to be him and me
there, no crowds, just Cam and me. Damn, he makes me feel so good. When I
hang around his neck as he kisses me, I feel his hardness against me, I'm
sure he feels mine. Each hour that passes makes it harder to keep from
dragging him to the bed and having my way with him.
When we broke the kiss, he leaned his head forward and rested his forehead
against mine and he hugged me to him, his eyes were closed, I felt his
hardness pressing into me just above my own, he groaned as he ground
against me. I pushed him back and looked up to him.
"Let's go to your apartment, There's only one thing I want Cameron. I want
us to be in your bed making love tonight. It's what we both want, you and
I making love. That's the next step for us. I'm ready for this...we're
ready for this."
"You know I'm crazy mad for you already, Babe. LET"S GO!"
We ran back to get our gear at the picnic table, threw it all into the
trunk and we sped off to the hospital parking lot. I followed Cam from the
hospital to his apartment. Once in the door he had me in his arms and our
lips and tongues working overtime, like we would never have this chance
again.
When the initial frenzy had died down a bit we just stood there, his
forehead bent forward to touch mine and he just held me close. Nothing was
said, at last he straightened and pressed my head to his chest and let out
a long drawn out sigh.
"This is your chance to change your mind Tate. I'll wait if you want to."
"I want you Cameron, you want me. I can't imagine that either of us will
be so awful in bed that the other will be turned off completely. I really
do picture it quite the opposite."
"Me too! We've been sizzling hot from the start. I don't see that slowing
down for a while either.""Cam, right now we are at the point where we have
to make love so we can think rationally again. We're both at the boiling
point and sex will either take this edge off or we're gonna fuck until
Thursday. Either way we'll be able to think clearer after tonight or by
Thursday morning."
"Do you really mean that Tate. I don't want you to feel like I'm pushing
you into this."
"This is all so different for me, nothing like you has ever happened to me,
its like we started in the middle of the book of Cam and Tate, instead on
on page one. That's why I'm willing for us to go to bed now. That's
funny, `willing' is completely the wrong adjective. I may drag you there
if we wait much longer."
Reaching for me, Cam pulled me into our most intense kiss yet. We were
both moaning into the other's mouth, our bodies writhing and grinding
against each other. Breaking apart for air our chests heaved and we were
covered in a sheen of sweat. I struggled to speak.
"Come to bed Cam, come make love with me."
He managed to move his feet and we moved to his bedroom. I pulled at his
scrub top and tee shirt and he held his arms up for me to pull them off.
When I saw his hairy chest covered in that long silky brown hair I made a
whimpering sound somewhere deep inside me and lay my cheek against his
chest and sighed. My eyes were closed as I hugged to him.
"I love your hairy body, you feel so good against me and you smell so
good!"
He bent to kiss me again and I turned to accept his lips. While we were
kissing something in me snapped, I pushed him back onto the bed and pulled
his scrub pants and boxer shorts to the floor. His long cock slapped hard
against his stomach and came to rest pointing at my chin. I buried my face
in his crotch, inhaling his scent, nuzzling against his scrotum. I took
his long, hard cock in my hand, looked up to his eyes as I took him into my
mouth.
Cam whimpered as I suckled on his magnificent cock, it was about three
inches longer than what my fist covered. There was also a wide gap between
my fingers encircling his shaft. Mmm...Dr. HotLips has a big one! He is
so beautiful lying there that I involuntarily let a moan escape my chest.
Cam is too thin I think,but he says he's always been like this. No matter
what he eats he never gains weight, he is thin, er..maybe Lean is the
better word for him, lean, wiry and well muscled, there is no fat on him,
even his perfect little round butt is rock hard.
JEEZ! That butt, that big cock, standing tall and hard, throbbing, leaking
his pre cum in anticipation, all just there waiting for me. I stood, tore
my clothes from my body in seconds and leaped in between Cam's hairy,
muscled thighs. Roughly I took his cock again and pushed until his
cockhead was down my throat. Cam had fistfuls of bedding in each hand as
he tossed his head back and forth calling out my name.
I was possessed, I couldn't stop, I had to have his semen in me, I had to
taste him. I heard his voice but his words didn't register, I felt his
hand pulling at my shoulders but I wouldn't stop, I couldn't stop. Not
now!
I heard him cry out in surprise, then he shouted my name as he filled me
with his semen. I nursed at his limp cock until he became too sensitive to
my touch. Moving up, he pulled me into his arms, hugging me, kissing my
neck, his body trembling. He pulled back and looked me in the eye."You're
never leaving here. Consider yourself under house arrest, I don't want to
chance you going out and meeting someone else. No chance Bub."
Hugging him to me I stretched out, tightly pressed against him, we both
moaned as we held our naked bodies together for the first time. Kissing
me, Cam rolled us over until I was on my back, him hovering over me. He
pulled away to look at me.
"Oh migod...Tate...what a perfect body you have, so ripped and toned. Your
muscles are freaking unbelievable. Your body reminds me of a wet dream I
had in my teens about my perfect man. I sure hope you're not disappointed
with me. I'm tall, skinny and hairy. My one saving grace is that I have
the hots for you big time Tate Thursam. Jeez...you are so beautiful. Cam
lay back beside me, his chin resting atop my head as I clung to him.
Cam pushed his hand between us and grasped my aching cock.
"YIKES! That better be you arm! HOLY CRAP!!! Tate! You little guys sure
do pack big surprises. I knew it was big after feeling it up against me
last night but seeing it up close, WOW! Your cock is huge!"
Holding our cocks together I said...
"Look, we're both nearly the same size, there's not much difference, my
body is just smaller that you, making it seem bigger, Ummm, lets stop
talking, holding you like this, ah...it's the most wonderful feeling."
Cam kissed my closed eyes, then down to my neck, nibbling, kissing, He
opened his mouth and sucked on my chin, making me squirm about on the bed.
He tongued my Adam's Apple and licked my skin down into the little valley
made by my collar bone. He could hear my breathing getting raspy and
ragged. With both hands he played an rubbed my pecs. When his fingers
found my hard nipples he rolled them between his thumb and forefingers
causing me to arch my back and push my chest up higher. I groaned loudly
and arched up as he took my right nip into his mouth and sucked and bit at
it, making me yell out a loud groan.
Cam moved and crouched on my hips, his knees at my sides. He leaned close
and kissed me, moving down he lightly nipped at a nipple, further down he
licked and kissed my my skin. He felt my cock bobbing and bumping against
his butt. With my tongue licking and kissing him, Cam reached back and
placed my cock against his anus and pushed back against me. Cam moaned
louder then moved and rolled onto his side facing me. Raising up on his
elbow he leaned in and kissed me, soft and gentle. He stared intently into
my eyes for a bit.
"Tate, we need to slow down, I want to explore your body too. It's so
perfect I want to kiss and lick every inch of you."
"Sure thing Cam, but first I gotta go pee."
When I stood to go into the bath Cam groaned aloud again. I looked back
over my shoulder.
"You okay Cam?"
"NO! You're killing me here Tate. Ohmigod, you are so beautiful. That
face, your perfect body and now that perfect bubble butt. How on earth can
someone like you be interested in me?"
I turned and went back to him, I sat on the bed and pulled him up and
kissed him. This time it was me making him weak with my kiss. When we
broke apart his chest was heaving again and he had a surprised look on his
face.
"You're a very handsome man." I said. "The moment we met I went into a
cold sweat. You were and still are the sexiest man I ever known. That's
how I can be interested you, uh...we passed being interested in each other
on day two if I remember correctly. It's the way you make me feel Cam, get
it through that head of yours. I'm crazy for you and there a very good
chance that I'll wake up tomorrow even more crazy about you. Now I really
have to pee. Don't move."
I returned at a run and leaped into bed beside him, he laughed and said...
"My very own Angel dropped from Heaven. "
I stretched my naked body atop him, loving all the hair on his sexy, hot
body. I knew I was past infatuation, already lost and under his spell. I
was sure Cam was sincere and that he was just as taken with me as I am with
him. It's all so new to me. I know I'm falling in love bit by bit. If he
is too then it is the greatest thing I've ever been a part of.
"Tate? Hello Tate...you in there? TATE!
"Oh, I'm sorry Babe, I was just thinking how crazy, mad I am for you.
There's this big monumental thing happening here with us and it's all so
new to me."
"I know Tate, it's all new to me too. But right now I have the most
perfect body I've ever seen in my arms and I want to explore every inch of
it with my tongue. Um, just lie there and let me worship you."
Cameron's tongue trailed fire over my body everywhere he licked and kissed
me. His lips, tongue and teeth kissing, licking and biting at my nipples
had me near ejaculation before he moved down my trembling body, now covered
in goose flesh as his lips, hands and that hairy body all rubbing against
me, keeping me near the edge of orgasm.
I was surprised that Cam wanted to me to top him. I can't blame him, I do
love to bottom for my top anytime. He has to give it up to, not so often,
but sometimes I just need to teach him a little humility by nailing his
butt to the mattress.
Just like the old cartoons on Saturday morning TV when we were k**s, when
we kissed, bells rang, whistles blew, sirens wailed, carrillions chimed,
fireworks filled the air. Large Starbursts, exploding, then cascading down
and into smaller starbursts, Steam came from my ears and my hat spun on my
head! I felt like all those old cartoon gags were really happening that
first time we kissed, naked, laying together in bed.
There just aren't any words that haven't been used before. Nothing in all
my experience, could have ever described the feelings coursing through my
body as my orgasm coated his rectum with my semen. I was near tears at the
end, I know now that he loves me, I could see it on his face. I've never
made love to someone I love before. This is unbelievable!
Later as I lay there beside him, watching him sleep and counting the
breaths he took, I knew I am completely and helplessly captivated by
him. It is possible he could wake and tell me to leave. But I saw it in
his eyes, he feels it too. When he wakes I truly believe he will be as
shaken to his core as I was by our act of love. I lay my head onto his
hairy chest and put an arm across him and closed my eyes as he slept, lost
in the wonder of him, thinking, hoping that just maybe this is it, it sure
feels like he's The One I've wanted most of my adult life.
Sometime just before dawn, I woke to him kissing my body as he moved down
to love on me again. He looked up and I was watching him as he kissed,
licked and fondled various places on my body. Seeing that I was awake he
smiled and said.
"Good morning you beautiful man. I hope you like it here because I may
never let you leave. What we did last night was amazing. We've jumped
months ahead in just one night. There is no way that I could ever tire of
what we experienced last night.
I need you to talk to me Tate. Let me know what you feel. As for me, I
want you right here. There are nights now that I stay at the hospital but
I can change that, If you are here, I'll be here to be with you. Just talk
to me, let me know what you want."
"I want us to spend more time together, everyday living, every night
loving, that's what I want Cam. I'll begin my job search here right away.
Being with you is all that matters now."
Cam crawled up to lay beside me and he hugged me to him and I felt his body
trembling.
"Cam are you okay, you're trembling.?"
"Its just the build up and culmination of these fantastic few days. WOW!
That's great we agree. I'm The One Tate. I'm the one who'll love you
forever, we're onto something special here. I know how crazy it sounds but
I know us already. We'll go to movies, eat out, or I'll cook in. Maybe go
up to St. Pete to go dancing, or the beach at night. There will be an
endless list of things we want to do together."
"Yeah, I agree. Sure thing, Tate, but first we need a little more of
this."He pulled me up into a kiss again, my arms around his neck and my
body stretched out on top of his hairy body, he held me in his embrace as
his lips and tongue fried my brain. I rubbed my body all over him, the
feel of him against my skin is addictive, the more I get of him the more I
have to have.
Kissing has always been a big favorite with me but I've never had anyone
kiss me like Cameron does. He makes me limp with his kisses, his tongue,
those lips, he likes to nibble on my neck and earlobes too, both hot spots
that get me breathing heavy and ready for more.
When his hand went down my back and he cupped my butt cheek in his hand, I
moaned again. When his finger grazed over my opening, I lost control and
ejaculated over both our stomachs as he kissed me and pushed at my anus."
"Oh man, me too Tate. When I touched your opening, I couldn't hold it
back, I climaxed too. We both were lost in in that kiss. Now we really
need to shower. But kissing you is so freaking good I don't ever want to
stop."
We made it to the shower, lips still locked together until we realized that
we had to break apart to get into the shower stall. Inside, he pulled me
against his chest as the warm water flowed over us.
"Ohmigod, you feel so good, I love your hairy body, plus this long, fat
cock of yours has me itching to have it inside me. Ooo, it's gonna be a
tight fit no matter where we try to put it, for the first few times,
anyway. I want you inside me Cameron, make love with me, please.
Cam held me against him, I love rubbing against that hairy chest, searching
for his nipples with my tongue while he soaped and washed my back. When he
ran both hands down to cup my butt I shivered again, and when he soaped the
crack of my butt I moaned out loud like a slut. He spent a lot of time
making me moan, just one finger easing in a bit then out again.
With one finger circling, probing, and making room for more fingers, he had
me wiggling like a worm on a fishhook. I straightened and turned facing
the front shower wall, bracing myself, I arched my back and raised my butt
ready for his entry. Cam ate at my butt a bit to get me good and slick,
then added lube, squirting the tube into me for my added comfort.
Cam slowly inched his way inside me. Slowly, steadily at first until we
ground hard against each other, I made a loud grunt when his cock slammed
hard, filling by rectum to bursting I feared. There was a bit of pain, I
tried hard to master it, Then as the pain subsided, I felt the pure
unadulterated lust as his long, fat cock filled me. The lust won out and
the pain disappeared as he settled into a gentle rocking motion. I
clinched my rectum and effectively milked his hard cock deep inside me.
This time all the tender, loving, touching feelings were left behind. This
was lust, pure and simple. Cam became a wild man riding my ass, his deep
thrust accompanied by his tongue in my ear sent me to that place, every
good bottom knows how to find, that zone, that place that's centered around
his cock pumping hard, filling me.
"Aww jeez baby, that's it! Fuck me Cam, Fuck your Tate. Fuck me!"
There is absolutely no feeling on earth like busting a nut with a hard cock
lodged deep in my butt. We both had to sit down on the floor of the
shower, our legs too weak to keep us upright after that orgasm. When we
finally stood, he stood behind and turned me so that my back was against
his chest and his cock, still hard, pressing just above my buttocks. Cam
was fascinated with my body and my hard cock, he soaped and washed and
jacked it until I had to stop him before I ejaculated again. I took my
turn soaping and rubbing his long and lean body, after his front side was
rinsed I went to my knees and took his fat cock into my mouth but I could
only get about a third of it in. I rose to move behind him and soaped up
and washed him thoroughly and turned him to rinse. Again I went to my
knees and surprised him by spreading his cheeks and stabbing his hole with
my tongue. He yelled first then settled into moans and groans.
He leaned over, hands on the front shower wall and stuck his butt out, I
made a feast of Cameron's ass. He begged me to stop as he neared climax.
We both were about to blow so we backed off and got out of the shower. We
dried each other with towels, there was lots of kissing while we rubbed
each other dry, then finally, Cam took my hand and led me to his bed.
Pressing myself against his tall, thin, lanky body, covered with soft brown
hair was ecstasy for me. I threw a leg over him and glued myself to him.
I surrendered right then. I have no will where Cameron is concerned. I'll
do anything he wants just to stay here holding him to me tightly, the wet
softness of his mouth on mine, his hairy body on me. I'll never want to
leave his bed. Without me realizing what he was doing, suddenly he was on
his back and I was on top of him. He opened his legs wide and looked into
my eyes.
"Love me Tate, fill me with your love. I need you in me, give me all of
your fat cock...Please."
Cam handed me the lube and I worked my fingers inside him. In a matter of
moments he was writhing and moaning. I lubed my cock and placed it at his
opening and gently pushed, Cameron pushed down and suddenly I was inside
him. His eyes went wide then shut in a grimace of pain. I lay still then,
whispering to him how wonderful he is, how much I wanted to please and
pleasure him, how good we are together, how I felt when we made love, how I
know he cares for me, I see it in his face. In a few moments Cam pulled
gently on my thighs, signaling me to go deeper. I started my slow,
deliberate, delicious slide into the heat of his bowels.
When all of me was inside him he thrust hard against my cock, then circled
his hips, grinding against me, he settled into moving his hips in a furious
back and forth action, fucking my hard cock deep inside him. Slowing his
hips, Cam moaned loudly. I pulled back quickly and plunged deep again.
Soon I had my rhythm, in and out fast, hard, deep, grind. We settled into
rhythm of the fuck, The absolute joy and ecstasy of two souls joined in the
most primal of the Natures forces, we fucked!
There was a moment just prior to his climax that Cameron's face glowed in
rapture, he was lost to everything but my cock churning in his guts. Fuck
out, fuck in, fuck out, fuck in. His breathing came in gasps, his arm went
around my neck and pulled me into a kiss, our tongues battling while my
cock plunged in and out his butt. His thrashing about on the bed and the
look on his face made me know he was at the brink. I plunged down and
ground my pelvis hard against him, Cam screamed out my name as his semen
flew over his head, my orgasm followed closely after his, as I filled his
velvet tunnel. I collapsed atop his cum covered torso gasping in great
gulps of air. Lying here, my body d****d on his, my head on his chest, an
arm across him, felt so natural and comfortable. I am safe here, I am with
the man I love.
We woke glued together with his semen; I peeled myself away from him to lay
on my side and he began to breathe easier. There was a wonderful ache deep
in my testicles and I knew from last night that Cam would be feeling that
wonderful ache in his rectum also. What we had just done was even more
stupendous than last night. I never knew that the emotional mind fuck
could be so much more satisfying, or more complete than the physical
orgasm. I felt him move and hug me to him with his arm around me. I
looked up to his face and he was was looking at me, wide eyed and
questioning.
"What The Fuck was that! I've never felt anything so intensely, I'm so
completely fucked. That was beyond belief. Who are you? What are you
doing to me.?
"I'm your guy Cameron. I'm The One"
He pulled me closer with his arm, kissed my forehead and looked into my
eyes.
"Yes you are. You are the one for me. I give!, I surrender, I'm lost to
your spell Tate. You are The One.!"
I woke just before noon, made my way to the bathroom, then to the kitchen
and started our coffee. I was sitting at the island sipping my coffee and
grinning like the Cheshire Cat when a sleepy and mussed Cam came in, still
groggy, he kissed me lightly and filled his cup. He sat beside me and lay
his head over onto my shoulder, putting his arms around me.
"Hmm...you know you have to come live with me now, I want you here, I need
you with me. Please, say yes."
I put my hand up to his cheek.
"Yes!"
He straightened and looked at me. He wasn't smiling but had a serious look
as he stared at me.
"Tate, if you stay, there's no turning back. We'll start our journey
together as partners." I kissed him lightly, we parted slowly, I held his
beautiful face in my hands. and looked into those emerald green eyes.
"I'm staying Cameron."
We were both standing now, Cam's arms holding us together tightly, my face
against his chest. Being seven inches shorter than Cam made me a perfect
fit against his furry body. There was a moment then, when we were just
holding each other; I knew I was heels over head in love and in that
moment, I knew for certain that I've found the love of my life! Tears
streamed down my cheeks. I never knew anyone could be so happy as I am
now.
We finally had to leave his place Monday morning for coffee and some
breakfast. I checked in with Gran last night and told her Cam and I were
learning to just be together. She was a bit smug telling me that she told
me so.
The fire was still raging inside me for him. This burning lust he's
created in me made me feel a little crazy, the feelings he stirs in my mind
and body are so wonderful. Laying here with him, getting to make love with
him, just thinking about it brings a lump to my throat.
"Tate, there's a diner a couple of blocks over that serves breakfast 24/7,
I need to eat something beside you! I'm starving for food. After we
ordered we sat side by side in the booth, making sure we weren't seen, I
took his hand and placed it on my erect cock in my jeans.
"See what you do to me Dr. Cooper. It's always like this when we're
together."
He held it firmly, squeezed it a couple of times and smiled and said...
"There... now we both have boners."
He gave a little jerk as I moved my hand to his hard cock. I felt a chill
run over me when I put my hand in his lap. I gently caressed and kneaded
his hard cock, making him squirm in his seat. I love his long, fat cock,
nothing has ever made me feel the emotions and raw lust like his cock
inside me does. Luckily, we saw the server coming with our food and I
withdrew my hand.
We both ate a huge breakfast, with our legs pressed against each other we
maintained body contact the entire time we were eating. On our way back to
his place we stopped for grocery shopping, getting food for our dinner
tonight. At home we put away the food and Cam asked if I would run with
him today.
I got my gym bag from the car and changed into shorts and running shoes,
and off we went. While we were running I let Cam get a few steps ahead so
I could watch his body move. Watching him run, I understood his body, he's
built like a Track and Field Athlete. His lean, hard body seemed to work
every muscle as he ran. I admit that most of the time I was watching him,
my eyes were on his cute little butt. I remembered the frenzied fuck when
he sat astride my hips and rode my cock inside him.
It was a beautiful day, mid 70's with white billowy clouds. I was
surprised when Cam told me we were going out to Lido Key and run through
the park there. He told me how the Parklands were left as natural as
possible.
We'd been running for about thirty minutes when he veered off the trail
onto a little used footpath. I followed, everything here was new to me.I
was looking at everything, the trees, the birds, often I caught a glimpse
of the Gulf through the flora and fauna. I must have slowed my pace as I
looked about, and I lost sight of Cam. Speeding up I quickly caught up as
he stood still facing me as I ran to him.
I slowed, seeing the look on his face I knew that we were about to make
love here in Lido Park. We found a clearing that was surrounded by chest
high grasses. The perfect place. Runners or Hiker's could come within a
few feet and never know two guys were sucking cock right beside their path.
I had expected that when I found my partner that I would mostly be the
bottom when we were making love. Having a preference for tall, virile men
usually meant that I was gonna get fucked and I never complained. I like
it! Cameron surprised me our first time when he asked me to top him.
Since that first time, I've topped him more than I've bottomed. I've even
learned to really like the role, seeing the look on his face when he hits
the zone is enough to keep me pounding his cute little butt for the rest of
our days. Besides, I get plenty of attention from him.
We were quite a sight I'm sure with this handsome, 6'2" lean machine and
the 5'7" 132 pound little shrimp of a guy running down the street together.
I thought back and my last run had been the day before I left London.
My too long of a layoff from running showed, I was barely able to make five
miles, usually I didn't struggle until near the nine mile mark. Cam could
have easily run five more miles today. I told him that I'd get better,
just out of practice.
"Hey, I've had other things on my mind lately" I said. Cam laughed. "Yeah
we have been sort of preoccupied since we met."Back at the apartment we
showered...together, it was a long sensuous session of making love to each
other. After we were clean and dry I started grilling chicken breasts for
a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad. We ate out on the patio. I was amazed at
how settled in we were. The sex is the best ever known. We're still in
the beginning, making love two sometimes three times a day. This first
rush of new love keeps me hard and ready for him, a hug or a kiss sets us
off and we have to make love. Those few times when we aren't thinking
about sex, we act and react like we've been together for years. The
happiness I felt being in love was a surprise, I had always thought I was
happy with my life. I guess it is true that ignorance is bliss. With
Cameron, I now know what real happiness is.
The Friday after Cam had returned to the hospital, I finally received a
call from one of the companies I had mailed my Resume, Eaton Aerospace in
Sarasota is in need ot Test Engineers to plan and test projects intended
for space flight. I scheduled an interview and was very pleased when I
left. I knew I had `interviewed' well. My class at Tech that taught the
art of the interview had paid off.
The day after my Interview at Eaton Aerospace, the City of Sarasota
Personnel office called about an opening for an Electrical Engineer. In
four days I had six job interviews, Eaton called me back for a second
interview and the City of Sarasota did as well. After waiting another
week, I figured that I didn't get the position at Eaton which was the one I
wanted.
I was on the phone with my Mom in Atlanta telling them about my progress in
the job hunt. We chatted for a bit then I talked to my Dad, he was
concerned about Gramps and Gran. I did my best to reassure him that they
were very healthy for their age. I told him that I know their doctor quite
well, he would tell me if there's anything amiss.
Without letting on to me, Cam had requested and received a week off from
the Hospital. He came home one Tuesday night and told me that as of Friday
at 6:00pm we had an entire 10 days and nights all to ourselves. I asked
where he wanted to go and he said that he was overdue to visit his folks,
when I asked how long it has been since he had visited his parents and he
told me it was last Christmas, nine months ago.
"Cam, will your folks mind me coming with you?" I asked tentatively.
Cam broke out into a huge smile.
"My Mom has already asked when they were going to get to meet you, so
that's a big yes about you being welcomed there. We can go and spend a
couple of days with them, then a couple more days at some little seaside
cottage along the way."
"Really, I sure hope they like me."
"My Dad is impressed that you've got your Master's degree and that you did
it so quickly. He puts up a tough front but he's really the sweetest man
you'll ever meet."
"
