I went into the library, as soon as I got off of the phone with Brenda. I waited for Mrs. Parsons to come back downstairs like she had promised she would. My thoughts were centered not so much on the questions I wanted to ask her, but on the more general idea of me finding a way to fit in. I hadn't fit in very well at the orphanage. The sisters had told me many times that it was because I refused to make any attempt to. They were right. I hadn't wanted to fit in there. Here, it was an entirely different story
I recognized enough to understand that it was as much a case of me pulling away from them as it was them not being a good fit for me. I had always assumed that I couldn't let any part of my shield down with the sisters, else they would take advantage of it. All of the nuns had a greater loyalty to their religion than they did to any of the kids at the orphanage. If you let yourself have any kind of feelings for them, they'd use those feelings against you, trying to get you to swallow their religious beliefs.
When Mrs. Parsons walked into the library, I stood up for her again. She had taken longer than the hour she'd said, but she looked much more like her normal self again. Her hair was all in place now, and she had put on some makeup to make her skin color look healthier. She closed the library door behind her, insuring that we would have some privacy for our talk.
"Kenny, before we begin discussing those matters you earlier spoke of, I believe I should apologize again for appearing at the dinner table in such a state of disarray. Your summons caught me off guard, and I was totally unprepared. I have known, for some time now, that I wouldn't be able to keep you from an awareness of my use of alcohol. Certainly not entirely, as evidenced by what has occurred tonight. Even though it was obvious that I'd been drinking, I don't want you to get the wrong idea about it. I get my melancholia first, and it's only after I'm indisposed by that condition, that I find it helpful for me to drink. I do it as a form of self medication, to lessen the feelings of dark despair that I suffer from. The drinking helps me to sleep, something I find very difficult to do when suffering from this condition. It also seems to cut down on the length and severity of my melancholia."
"I don't think you owe me an apology, Mrs. Parsons. I owe you one for bothering you when I knew you weren't feeling good. It was just that I have this problem. I said it was with these two girls, but now I think it is really just the same problem I have with everybody. I don't trust anyone."
"I understand. If it helps any, most of us have the same problem to a greater or lesser degree. Trust becomes difficult when it has been repeatedly betrayed. Was your trust betrayed, Kenny?"
"I've never had any trust. I don't know why. Maybe it was just the orphanage, but I learned at a very young age not to trust anyone except myself. I grew up expecting people to try to force me to do what they wanted. They didn't care about what I wanted."
"Don't you accept that they were acting in what they believed was your best interest?"
"No, because I'd tell them what I wanted, but they kept telling me I had to do what they wanted. They said that God wanted it that way."
"There are rules that we all try to live by, Kenny. Some are established through religious beliefs, some from government edict, but most are compromises that society has ordained, to ensure levels of acceptable conduct, in order to provide for a fair and safe living environment for all of us."
"I know most of those rules, but that isn't what I meant. Part of it was the religious stuff, but a lot of it was just them wanting me to obey their orders without question, blindly. They wanted me to admit that they had the right to control my thoughts as well as the things I wanted. I don't like being controlled by other people."
"Give me an example."
"Spending two hours everyday studying religion with the sisters in the school, instead of spending that time learning real subjects."
"Religion is a very real subject to the nuns, Kenny. It is the foundation of their life's calling."
"Yes, and I don't mind them studying it. I didn't want them to make me study it, but they did anyway."
"They were attempting to teach you an understanding of a moral code, one that you could use to build a good life for yourself. For many years, the only education most people received was through the Church."
"I sat there and listened, at least at first I would, but, after awhile, I already knew what they were teaching us. It was always the same message. God came first, and then the priests and the nuns, then any other adults, and we came last. I didn't want to always come last, and I didn't want to have to keep dealing with people who believed that was how it was supposed to be."
"Do you feel that you are last here, Kenny?"
"No. In a way, that's what is causing me such a big problem. I'd worked out a way to deal with the orphanage. It wasn't perfect, but it worked all right for me. Since I've been here, you've all treated me really good, better than I deserve. I'm always afraid now, afraid that someone is going to figure out that I don't deserve any of this, and they'll take it all away. I'll have to go back then, back to things being the way I was used to. When you've never had anything, you don't worry about losing it."
"Why do you think that? Has anyone here ever said anything like that to you? The decision on whether you stay or leave rests solely with Bunny and me, Kenny. I know that when Bunny brought you here, it was to try to give me something to look forward to. An interest to keep me from dwelling overmuch on my emotional condition. Thomas might not understand me, but Bunny always has. He knew that I needed someone to care about, especially now that it appears that I'm to be divorced soon. In picking you, I think Bunny made a really good choice, for the both of us. I can help you, Kenny, help to make your life better, more enriched. Your being here with me, helps me, it enriches my life as well. You will always have a home here with me, Kenny, as long as you choose to stay."
It was difficult for me to swallow after she said that. There was a lump in my throat at least as big as a golf ball. I had a home! She didn't qualify her words in any way. There wasn't a long list of rules I had to obey in order to keep on living there. I didn't have to earn it, she had simply given it to me. I wanted to jump up and hug her, thanking her over and over again for accepting me like she had. Instead, I sat in my chair, unable to muster up the words to express the overwhelming gratitude I felt. I couldn't even keep looking at her, because my eyes were tearing up, and I didn't want her to see me crying. I looked down at my hands in my lap, silent, but still shouting a thousand thank yous out into heaven, or wherever it was that the nuns told us kids that our prayers always went. I finally managed to get my emotions back under control. I wiped my eyes with my hands and took a deep breath.
"Thank you. I've never had a home before, only a place to stay." When I looked up at her, she was crying too. "There's something else I need to explain to you. I don't know how to act around people I care about. I've never needed to learn that, except maybe with Marie. I need for someone to show me how to do that. Especially around you, Mr. Parsons and Mr. Chalmers. I get along all right with Hans and Gerta, but I have problems sometimes not knowing how to act around any girls, even Bea. I keep messing things up by the things I say to Brenda and Bea. It's mostly this problem I have with thinking everyone is out to control me."
"Kenny, there are different types of controlling. One type is simply guidance. If Hans gave you directions on getting to your new school, he wouldn't be controlling you, simply offering guidance on the best way to go. Guidance is a form of control, as is suggestion and advice. If I asked you to go in the kitchen to inform Gerta that I wish to dine at seven thirty, is that controlling you?"
"Not unless I told you I didn't want to go. If you insisted after, telling me I won't get any dinner if I don't do it, that would be you controlling me."
"Suppose, after your school year begins, I tell you to complete your homework before watching any television? Suppose also that you have a program that is on that at that time, a program you want badly to view. What would you do in that case?"
"If it was your rule, I'd follow it. If it were a special television program, or one I was watching as part of my school studies, I'd tell you about that and ask you to make an exception."
"And, if I still refused to make that exception for you?"
"I'd go finish my homework. I might still resent it, even though I had followed your rules."
"I'm afraid you're really talking about a contest of wills, rather than control issues. I too am willful, as is Bunny. Thomas has become increasingly willful as well. He came to it right after Daddy died. This was the first time he was able to assert himself with both Bunny and me. Neither of us possessed any of his skills and experience for managing the company. He used that situation to force us to bend to his wishes. He continues to do that to this day. One such exercise of that bending is the current proposed merger. Bunny and I never wanted to sell the company, it was all Thomas."
"Mr. Chalmers said it was necessary, for competitive reasons. He said it was too difficult for a weak company to survive. He also told me that Mr. Parsons had done a terrific job with managing the company."
"Because he listens to what Thomas reports to him. My father never ran into any difficulties he couldn't handle, not while he lived and managed the company."
"Mr. Parsons works awfully hard. I'm sure he does the best he can."
"I'm sure he does. The best that he can for himself. After the merger, Thomas will be a very wealthy man. Every year since daddy died, we've had to cede a small percentage of our ownership interest to him, as payment for his services to the company. He will cash out his ownership position with the merger, in addition to remaining in control of my father's company. That is the real reason for this merger."
"Is that the reason why you oppose it?"
"I've never opposed it. I might have my own ideas about the real reasons for it, but I can't deny that Thomas has negotiated a handsome price for the company. I'm sad that forty years of having the company within the family is coming to an end. If Thomas and I had our own children, then I would have been opposed. As it is, we all have only Thomas to turn to for management of our business interests. Without him, who knows what would happen to all those hundreds of people that depend on us for their livelihoods? Now, even if something happens to Thomas, the company will be able to carry on."
"Why are you divorcing him?"
"He doesn't love me. He never has. The situation with Beatrice was the final insult to me. A man doesn't comport himself like that, certainly not in his own home, and not under the same roof he shares with his wife."
"I don't know anything about that. I know he always worries about you, and he asked me to try to help you feel better when he is gone. He even said he wants all of us to play golf together again, after the merger."
"He said after the merger? Are you sure he said after?"
"I'm sure. He said he was looking forward to it. He also said he was very fond of you."
"He didn't! Don't go making things up just to try to make me feel better."
"Those were his exact words, "I'm very fond of Bertie". It was while the two of you were fighting too."
"It sounds to me like you talk with him more than I do. He spends all of his time here working in the study. I hardly see him."
"As soon as you left the table on Sunday, he went back into his study, not even one minute later. He tried talking to you at dinner, but you kept getting mad at him. He talked about wanting to play tennis with you again. It was you that turned the conversation to the merger. It sounded like you were accusing him of being happy that your father died, even after he said he missed him."
"He changed when Daddy died, changed in the way he treated me. It seemed like he was just waiting, so that he could take over the company."
"He sounded to me like he got along real good with your father."
"Oh, he did. They were perfectly suited to each other. They had the business in common, a shared interest that Bunny and I could never compete with. Daddy treated Thomas like his own son. He wouldn't have liked seeing how things turned out after he died."
"I think we both have problems with trusting people. I need you to tell me what to do with Brenda. She keeps trying to use "the power" on me."
"What power, Kenny?"
"You know, "the power". She uses the fact that I like her to try to get me to do what she wants me to do."
"Are you referring to her using her feminine wiles to bend you to her wishes? Is this the power you are referring to?"
"She talks about things, then when I start talking about them too, she pretends to be angry with me, or else afraid of me."
"I'll need an example."
"Bea can explain it a lot better than I can. She's the one who told me about "the power". Bea thinks its only about sex, but she's wrong. I think 'the power" is anything that you have that someone else wants. Sex is almost all that Bea has to use."
"You're too young to already be aware of these things, but you are right. Bea has shown a willingness to use her power too. We all use something to get our way."
"Do you use your illness that way, as your "power"?" Mrs. Parsons stared at me. She almost said something, two or three times, but each time, she stopped before she spoke.
"What an extraordinary question, Kenny. It is a question that deserves an answer. Yes, I suppose I do use it that way. But, not often, and usually, when I have no other means to get my wishes granted. I don't have Bea's feminine advantages, so I am reduced to using what I do have. I don't know if my answer satisfies you, but it is as honest as I can make it."
I was thinking of another question to ask when there was a knock at the library door. I got up from my chair and answered it. It was Gerta with two sausage sandwiches. There was a glass of milk for me, and a beer in a glass for Mrs. Parsons. The sausages were hot, giving off steam, and they had been sliced lengthwise to fit on the bread. there were two pickle slices on each plate, and a side order of sauerkraut alongside each sandwich. It smelled really good. I took the tray from a smiling Gerta, and then closed the library door. I noticed Bea back in the living room, looking over at Gerta and I. I smiled at her while I thanked Gerta for the sandwiches and drinks.
"Gerta is using her power with food to try to make us both eat something. It's going to work with me."
"Are those sausage sandwiches? I love sauerkraut and sausage. Look, she even sent me a glass of beer to wash it all down with. I'm getting my appetite back just from the smells. I guess that means that Gerta's power works with me too."
We each sat in our chairs, Mrs. Parsons had her plate balanced in her lap, the beer glass on the table next to her chair. I had the serving tray in my lap, being careful not to spill my milk. We ate together, even though I'd finished having my own dinner an hour and a half before. The sandwich was very good, but I didn't care that much for my sauerkraut. I did like the pickles, even though they were very sour. When I was finished, I got up to put my tray over on another chair, figuring I'd take everything back to the kitchen when Mrs. Parsons was finished eating.
"Kenny, why didn't you eat the kraut? It's really good when you spread it on the sandwich."
"I didn't care for it. I'll eat it though, if you want me to?"
"No, you had your chance. Bring it over here and I'll eat it. Gerta would have both our heads if we left any sauerkraut on our plates. She claims it was her ancestors who invented the recipe for the original sauerkraut." I went to retrieve my plate and brought it to her. It took her about five times as long as it had taken me, but she finished everything on her plate, plus my leftover sauerkraut. It was the most I'd ever seen her manage to eat at one sitting. So far, getting her to play golf again, and getting her to eat more often, were the only two things I could point to as improvements that I'd helped her with.
"Mrs. Parsons, do you feel better because you ate something, or did you only eat because you felt better?"
"A little of both, plus, I know that Gerta must have gone to a lot of bother to create one of my all time favorites in order to tempt me into eating. With her going to all that trouble for me, I felt an obligation."
"Is that the same reason you came down to dinner when I asked?"
"No, Kenny, not exactly the same. Knowing that you were troubled by something, and having you say that you needed me, this was something I couldn't refuse to attend to. There is a strong connection I feel with you. I've remarked on it to both Thomas and Bunny. I can only imagine that it is similar to the bond any mother feels with her child. Although it is still early in our relationship, I already feel this strong connection."
Back in Glasgow I was kept busy between working different hours at the restaurant and my school work. What time I had off I spent studying and still managed to keep up a correspondence with Emma. I could go dancing on the weekends, so getting dates was not a problem, keeping them was because of my busy schedule.In her letters Emma was still telling me about her supposed dreams, in which she would be explicit, and pressing me to tell her what excited me. "Did I love her Soosi more than her...
Lesbian... I told her that she could be friendlier to me. I was going to ask her if she knew any card games that we could play, but before I got a chance to ask her, she opened up her robe and she was naked underneath. "Is this friendly enough for you?" Except for me, none of the other boys at the orphanage were older than eleven or twelve. That was because most boys got adopted by someone eventually, and St. Cecelia's tried to take younger boys in to replace the ones that left. The younger you...
After I said good night to Mrs. Parsons, I returned to my bedroom and started putting my clothes away. The very first thing I did was gather up all of my old clothes and put them back in the garbage bag that I had brought with me. I hoped that I'd be able to send them back to the orphanage so that some other boys could get some use out of them. If not, I was sure that Mr. Chalmers would know what I should do with them. I was halfway done going through the boxes and putting my clothes away...
This time, Mrs. Parsons drove us out to the country club in her own personal car. It wasn't as big as the one that Hans had driven us in, but it was a nice car. She didn't speak to me at all on the drive over to the country club, and I was afraid to ask her if she was mad at me for what happened the night before. As soon as we got there, she took me down to where Mr. Chalmers had taken me. She didn't bring any golf clubs with her though. We went past where I'd stopped the first time, with...
That Friday night, a little after seven, Mr. Parsons came back home. Even though Mr. Chalmers and Mrs. Parsons had both assured me that Mr. Parsons was going to leave me alone, and, I'd been told to stay out of his way, right after dinner he asked me to join him in his study. I'd never been in this room before, since it was reserved only for Mr. Parsons. I was a little nervous when he led me into the study. It was a smallish room, maybe fifteen feet by fifteen feet, and one whole wall was...
Mr. Parsons came back home that Friday night. I saw him mostly at dinner time, because he was in his study most of the rest of the time. On Saturday, Mrs. Parsons and I went to the country club and played eighteen holes. I had a hundred and seven, but she shot a seventy three. We didn't stay at the club for lunch because we were going to have an early dinner with company coming over. I went into the kitchen when we returned, and Gerta took pity on me, making me a nice sandwich. We were...
I started playing tennis with Brenda the next Wednesday afternoon. I came in early for my golf lesson, then I played eighteen holes with Mrs. Parsons, before having a late lunch by myself, and was out on the tennis court before four o'clock. Mrs. Parsons didn't really encourage me to play tennis with Brenda, but she didn't tell me that I couldn't do it either. It was unusual for her to skip lunch with me, but I assumed she had something else she wanted to do. I didn't really care for...
Friday night came, and with it, Mr. Parsons. He sat down to dinner with us and that was supposed to be all I saw of him for the whole weekend. Mrs. Parsons made a comment that he was under enormous pressure because of the pending merger, and she told me not to bother him during his stay. As if I would seek him out for anything. I went up to my bedroom after dinner, and sat on my bed, listening to my radio, and thinking about my next idea for "accidentally" running into Brenda. It had been...
Brenda had asked me to phone her at seven, but Gerta informed me that we were sitting down to dinner at seven. I decided to try to phone her before dinner, but I still didn't have her phone number. I could either go in and disturb Mr. Parsons again, something I didn't want to do, or else wait and ask him at dinner if he'd get me her phone number. Gerta noticed me just standing there, trying to decide. "What? Why are you staring at nothing?" Gerta had a superstitious nature, believing in...
At ten o'clock I knocked on Mrs. Parsons door, wanting to tell her that I was leaving for my golf lesson. She didn't respond to me at all. I went downstairs, and found Hans in the kitchen with Gerta. I sat up front with Hans, in Mrs. Parsons car, for the trip over to the country club. I took my golf lesson, and we mostly worked on my mid irons. Dave kept trying to show me the difference between picking the ball cleanly from the rough, and hitting down on it from the fairway. I didn't get...
After I returned home, I checked in with Gerta to see whether Mrs. Parsons had eaten anything or not. She hadn't. According to Gerta, her last bite of food, or drink of any liquid refreshment, had been the evening before. When I came back out from the kitchen, Bea was scurrying away from the door separating the dining room from the kitchen. "Hi Bea, don't tell me you're still mad at me?" She continued moving away from me. "I guess you don't want to hear about what happened at the pool...
We left the pool area to go over to the club house restaurant. By the time I had gotten to the pool, Bea and Brenda had already befriended Carol, telling her that I had insisted on them inviting her to have lunch with us. Both Brenda and Bea had described me to Carol, Brenda telling her that I was the boy that had been here with her before, the time when Carol was standing in the pool and smiling over at me. Bea then told her that I was the boy she had teased by exposing herself to me. Carol...
Once again Mrs. Parsons was in a good mood when she came down for breakfast. She had me call over to Brenda's house to ask them if we could come by to pick them up on our way out to the country club. She told me to tell Mrs. Connor that they would be leaving after lunch and that Hans would return to pick Brenda and me up after we were done with our tennis practice. I called them, and spoke with Brenda for about half an hour. We didn't talk about kitty's, but there was an undercurrent to...
I was up a little before six thirty the next morning. I ate in the kitchen with Gerta and Hans, telling them a little bit about St. Cecelia's, and how my life had been when I still lived there. Gerta waited until I was finished telling them about it before asking me why I wanted to go back, even for a visit? I told her about Marie, sister Clara, and some of the kids that I had gotten along all right with. "I want to go back so I can tell them how lucky I am now. Not to make them feel bad...
The next day, Mrs. Parsons and I went to the country club in her car. After my lesson, we played nine holes and then had lunch together. I hadn't played that well, and I felt a little upset about Brenda's hanging up on me, and her refusal to take my call that morning. It was two thirty, so I changed and went to the pool. Brenda was there, sitting with four other kids that I'd seen around the pool before. I went over and said hello to her, asking her if she wanted to start practicing...
I got up earlier than usual to see Mrs. Parsons off on her trip to Chicago. She asked me several questions about my reconciliation with Brenda, seeming quite satisfied with my answers. She kissed me lightly on my lips when she gave me a hug goodbye. "After tonight, Kenny, the company will effectively be out of my family's hands for the first time ever. I'm going to hate signing everything away. It isn't the money that I wanted, it was knowing that all of the employees and their families...
After Bea left with Mr. Chalmers, Mrs. Parsons started coming downstairs again. On Thursday, she came to the country club with me, and we played eighteen holes. I shot an eighty seven. My putting was improving, and I had learned where to hit the ball to avoid big trouble areas on the course. Mrs. Parsons and I started talking more out on the golf course. There was no one behind us anyway, so we talked in the cart between shots. She started telling me about how happy her early childhood had...
It was almost eight o'clock before dinner was finished and I could go up to my room to call Brenda. Mrs. Parsons came downstairs when Hans, Gerta and I were about halfway through eating dinner in the kitchen. She was drunk and weeping, dressed in her robe, and obviously rumpled from too little rest. She sat with us through the remainder of dinner, but refused to eat anything. Gerta had to help her back up the stairs, and sit with her until she finally fell asleep. This was the first time I...
We picked up Brenda a little before ten, and it was already getting hot outside. Brenda seemed happy to see me, but she started right in about wanting us to practice together in the afternoon too. I didn't want to get into a big argument about it, so I said that we would wait and see how the morning practice went, and then decide. We practiced for a little over an hour before I stopped playing. Brenda wasn't ready to stop, arguing that a few more minutes wouldn't hurt either of us. I...
It was decided that I needed to keep away from the country club for at least two weeks. Part of this decision was to allow Mr. Chalmers to return before allowing me outside in public again, and part of it was that Mrs. Parsons wanted to try to help Mrs. Connor and Brenda to come to terms with my not being sent away to the orphanage. Mrs. Parsons waited until Wednesday before calling Mrs. Connor. She asked about Brenda, but then said her main reason for calling was to ask Mrs. Connor to join...
Mr. Parsons liked to drive fast. We were in his car, on our way out to the country club to get my clubs. I told him that I wanted to keep practicing so I wouldn't get too rusty. When we pulled up in front, he went in, telling me to stay in the car. Five minutes later, he came out with one of the employees who was carrying two sets of clubs. Mr. Parsons opened his trunk and the attendant put the clubs in there. I saw Mr. Parsons giving him some money, but I didn't know what denomination the...
On Monday, after Mr. Parsons went to work, Mrs. Parsons told me to get ready for my golf lesson. It hadn't been two weeks, but I didn't argue with her. We took the limousine, and Hans drove straight to Brenda's house. When we pulled up outside, Mrs. Connor, Brenda, and Richard all came out together. I got out and opened the door for them. Since Richard was carrying his mother's golf bag, I didn't offer to help. Even Hans stayed in the driver's seat, and just pushed the remote button to...
Hans drove me over to Holton the next morning. Mrs. Parsons came downstairs to sit with me at breakfast, and to see me safely off. She looked more natural than she had the night before, but still very tired and wan. I told her that I needed her to try to eat better and to regain her strength. She said that she had already checked with the school and cleared it with the administration for me to be picked up Friday after five P.M. It was school policy to try to be responsive to the wishes of...
On Friday, my last class got out at three o'clock, but I still had to wait for my weekend pass to be processed, and then brought over to our apartment by Terry. I was the only boy from the room that was leaving for the weekend. As such, I was being given lists of items to bring back with me on Sunday night. Nigel gave me a twenty dollar bill, and asked me to buy him some condoms. Jerry said he was broke, but gave me a list of snacks and magazines that he said he really needed. How could you...
Sunday Morning I got up and got dressed before eight o'clock. When I came downstairs, Gerta was in the kitchen and Hans was working on changing the outlet in the garage. I went out back to see Hans. He was already finished putting in the new outlet, and had replaced the fuse with one that was for the correct amperage. He went and turned on the main power switch and the lights came on and stayed on. After about ten minutes, he went and put his hand on the outlet box, feeling to see if it had...
Mr. Chalmers and Bea were sitting in the living room talking to Mr. Parsons when Mrs. Parsons and I got back from the club, at around six. All three of them had drinks in their hand. Dinner was at six thirty, Gerta told us, then she went and made a drink for Mrs. Parsons. I was glad to see Bea. I knew she was leaving the next day, and I wanted to have a chance to tell her goodbye before she left. "So, Kenny, how's that fancy school you're going to? Bunny says there are no girls allowed...
School dragged by slowly. Our teachers were very good. Too good, if you were used to going to a school where you were one of the smartest kids. In my classes, that was definitely not the case anymore. The teaching philosophy at Clement Academy was simple. Each teacher would push you as hard as he felt you were capable of absorbing information from him. It didn't help me that I never volunteered in the classroom either. At CA, they didn't ask for a show of hands to see if you wanted to...
Mrs. Parsons was feeling a lot better, but still, she wanted to wait until the next day to go to the country club with me. After Elena decided to take the job, she left on her motorcycle to get her belongings. She told me that she had a green '63 Ford pick up that she'd be moving her stuff with. After she left, I went into the kitchen to have something to eat. Gerta was happy about a few things. She was glad that Elena had accepted the job, and that Mrs. Parsons was doing well again. She...
Sunday, Mrs. Parsons was feeling good, and we went out and played eighteen holes of golf together. We teed off at ten thirty, and finished up at three o'clock. We were behind two other foursomes, and it was the foursome in front that was slowing everyone down. While we waited, I tried to keep Mrs. Parsons focused on her learning center idea, rather than on the slow pace we were able to play golf. After golf, I walked over to the pool area while Mrs. Parsons was in the pro shop talking with...
Mr. Chalmers helped me with my mother, moving her into her bedroom, Gerta followed close behind us. The three of us spent the next hour with her, Uncle Bunny (that's what he asked me to call him) telling mama how difficult it had been for the two of us to bring her back this time. I decided to ask her about the place she went to. "Did you want to come back to us?" She looked at me for a minute, and then closed her eyes before speaking. "Kenny, that is too hard for me to answer. Going...
Uncle Bunny joined us for golf Saturday morning. He refused to bet with Mr. Parsons because they couldn't agree on the number of strokes he needed to be given. Mr. Parsons offered him five strokes a side, but Uncle Bunny wanted a stroke per hole. When they finally gave up trying to make a money match, I offered Uncle Bunny two strokes a side for a ten dollar Nassau. When he found out that Mr. Parsons was giving me eight a side, he accepted my bet. My mother was a little off her game,...
By the time we drove back home, all the good feelings had been stripped away. I could see and feel the tension on Mama's face as we neared the house. I reached over to her, and placed my hand on her arm, trying to send her a signal of my love and support for her. "Kenny, I'm not sure I can do what we talked about. When it was just the two of us, everything seemed possible to do, but, now, I don't think I can face telling Thomas that I forgive him. I still have angry feelings about what...
We didn't stay up too late Friday night. Mama had two more drinks before we turned in. After saying goodnight to her, I went into my own room and got ready for bed. A lot had happened in a short time. I had been on an emotional roller coaster almost since the time my mother had picked me up and taken me to the club that afternoon. I was beginning to feel the strain of all of the changes that had been set in motion by the words spoken within our family. Earlier in the evening, although it...
I was back in school in the early part of January when my mother had another of her serious depression withdrawals. Everything had been going fine, one minute she was laughing and happy, and the next, she went up to her room and started the painful process of guilt and overwhelming sadness. It was like one of those long slides they had in the playground at the school I had gone to. Mama would go anywhere from two or three days, to two or three months, seemingly perfectly normal, then, for...
I got back to school just in time to be there for all of the drama of Nigel finding out that his whole family was going back to England, and that, they were planning on leaving him behind to finish out the school year. Nigel's father had been promoted, and was heading back to run the marketing department for the entire auto company. Naturally, this news was devastating to Nigel. He had felt rejected by his family before any of this happened, but hearing the news made it seem far worse. He...
In the library, Mama was having a highball before dinner, when Emily and I walked through the open doorway. We joined her, with Hans fixing each of us a lime tonic. It looked like a real drink, but it had no alcohol in it. "Emily, I knew your father in high school. My brother and I were in the class right in front of his. Tell him that Bertie Chalmers says hello, won't you? He wouldn't know me as a Parsons." "He does remember you, because I heard him talking about that with my mom. He...
We all teed off the next day from the white tees, even Mama. I was sure the extra yardage would have a big effect on her scoring, but it didn't seem to have any effect at all. She finished up at one over, beating Uncle Bunny, dad and I. I only won one hundred from dad and two hundred from Uncle Bunny. It hurt having to pay it all to Mama. I had shot an eighty seven, but it was a forty on the front and a forty seven on the back. The back nine score had caused me to tie my bet with Uncle Bunny...
I called Emily, but only after telling my mother and father that Brenda had agreed on Emily coming on the trip with us. I told her that we'd stop by her house to pick her up soon after one o'clock, when my father was scheduled to leave. When I came back downstairs, Mama told me that dad was waiting in his study to speak with me. I went there and knocked on his door. "Come in Kenny, and close the door. I wanted to speak with you about what happened this morning. I'm not sure what all of...
We spent the next two hours of our journey with Brenda and Emily covertly competing for my attention. Mama and Mrs. Connor were both drinking. They drank a whole bottle of champagne together, and then another bottle of some white wine they both seemed very happy with. After an hour, you could tell they had been drinking quite a bit. I had already given Brenda a little make up kiss, and then I had to give Emily one as well. It was after this that the whispering began. Brenda was the first to...
It was the week before our Spring break, Nigel tried to hang himself in his bedroom. It was on Tuesday night, after we were all in our bedrooms. I heard a loud thumping sound, followed by the light in my bedroom going off. The sound had come from Nigel's room, and when I opened my door to get some light, I discovered that all the lights in the building had been knocked out. We found Nigel slumped on the floor with torn sheets wrapped around his neck, and the lighting fixture pulled from his...
John and I had started visiting each other more frequently since our first encounter on Halloween. We had not had sex since that time, almost a month ago, but we'd been making it a point to hang out more often. I invited John to come up to my family's condo with me for the weekend for a snowboarding trip, and he agreed. We left town right after he got off of work on Friday. It was a long drive up to the condo, so I figured I'd drink a beer or two on the ride up since I wasnt driving. We got on...
GayAn old girlfriend recently contacted me over Facebook, just to say hello and keep tabs on how our lives were going. We struck up a renewed relationship, and things were going well, very cordially, although there was always something in the back of my mind that had me asking myself what it would be like to be with her again, despite my commitments to my current partner. Then, during one chat session, she asked if I would call her. I did. We spoke several times over a few weeks-- she lived in a...
I. It was a cold, drizzly Saturday night and the sounds of whistles and slap shots echoed throughout the cavernous hockey rink. There was a group of boys still on the ice, but only one was left in the locker room. Nick was exhausted from his practice, and he sat and surveyed the now empty changing facility. His friend Jake was the last boy to leave, and Nick was alone, too tired to strip quickly and simply wanting a long nap. Sweat drenched his body and he felt his gear stick to his...

Story contains Femboy, and some serious Ass play. I think Brad and I were both making an effort in acting normal once mom and Jack got home from work. Even so I think our behavior didn’t go unnoticed by either one of them. I kept catching mom giving us both a look that said she was wondering just what the hell had gotten into us. I think this was mostly due to Brad and I actually talking to one another now, instead of ignoring each other like we normally did. Jack noticed as well, but didn’t...

“Now it’s time for you to tell me your life story since you now know mine,” Vicky asked. “You sure you want to hear about my life?” “Of course I do” Dan took a good sip of his coffee. “Laura, my wife, was such a beautiful, sexy woman, and really smart too. Even after close to thirty years together, she was something to behold. I’d be sitting at the dinner table, and I’d stop eating, just staring at her.

BisexualIt was Monday night and both Mom and I loved Monday Night Football. It was the first pre-season game. She told me I could have two beers during the game so I had better spread them out if I wanted them to last to the end. I didn't really care about the beer. I was just liked the idea of sitting with her. "Come on, Mom, the game is starting," I called from the family room. A moment later she came in. She was wearing a short summer maternity dress and was barefooted. I said, "There she...
“Smallpox?” I asked. “Yes! The last entry said that they were abandoning the site because the smallpox had killed so many Spaniards and Utes and they all feared for their lives. It said that the Utes had spread the word to other tribes and bands that the plain was cursed, and so many of the Spaniards died that the survivors just fled.” “But with all this gold, I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t come back,” I said. “Unless when they left, all of these books were the only proof of the places...

"I hope you like New England style clam chowder," Beverly said, "It was delivered this morning, from Boston." She wore what I considered an excessive amount of eye makeup. After two hours of showing her our plan to make her home warm and friendly, I was ready to give up. While she had listened to my pitch, her level of interest was detached, like she had something else on her mind. I found the way she looked at me distracting and her constant bumping into me as I moved around the house,...
Finding the sexual hors d’oeuvres on offer on her tray of life to be somewhat bland Crissy turns to her friend’s spice rack to liven things up. Introduction: Crissy is bored. Crissy was bored and frankly fed up with “hooking up” with guys at clubs and getting “hit on” at university by every loser dweeb who thought he had the remotest chance of dating a girl as “hot” as she was. Crissy had talked to her mom and her best friend Jenny, but really she had no idea what to do. Crissy at nineteen was...
TabooAs the camera steadied on host Ken Morrison, Mark Bailey, and commentator Jim Turner, they began to analyze the second period. “Jim once again the period belonged to Brad Hayward. Is there no stopping this rookie sensation in his first OHL game?” “He already has two hat tricks and two assists for eight points, and still the third period yet to be played. I don’t think even he was expecting a scoring output like this. Kingston knows one player doesn’t make a team, and they’ll have to find...
