Chapter 3


I decided to call it a day at 3 in the afternoon. I told Charles we were
leaving and I could be reached on my cell phone. Dave and I went down to the
garage and got in the Cadillac Escalade. I have several vehicles at my
disposal I can use. I have a limousine I can use when I want to impress a
major prospective client, my private Cadillac plus a few vehicles the
company owns.

We headed over to the safe house and Dave was quiet the whole way there.
This concerned me. I always had to tune him out because he is so talkative.
I pulled the SUV into the parking lot, got out and went inside. Dave spotted
Trey behind the counter and immediately went to hug him. I know there isn't
anything more than a father and son love there and it's good to see Dave
have that with someone.

After Dave finished hugging Trey I spoke, "Hi Trey, nice to see you again.
How are things going here? I understand Dave brought in a young man. Is he
ok?"

Trey smiled because he knew I was referring to Alex. "He's doing pretty well
sir. We talked for a bit and he seems to have his head on correctly but I'm
also getting some very mixed feelings from him. I sense that he doesn't like
being alone but after what his mum just did to him, he's not in the most
trusting of moods either."

I digested what Trey just said. I decided to go outside and have a cigarette
before replying. While I was smoking, Dave and Trey were having a very in
depth conversation. I couldn't tell exactly what they were saying but I saw
Dave lit up several times so it must have been something about Alex. David's
expression went from happy to sad then back again. I put my smoke out then
went back inside.

I looked at Dave and Trey then said, "I would like to meet this young man.
Is he in his room?"

Trey replied, "Yes Mike, he is. He seemed a bit tired so he may be taking a
nap. Here is a spare key just in case he doesn't answer."

I took the key from Trey and shook his hand. He pulled me towards him so he
could give me a hug and kiss on the cheek. I can't ever get away from him
without the usual hug and kiss. I thought by now I would have learned the
procedure. "Thank you Trey. Do you think he's up for visitors or should I
have you ring his room before going up?"

Trey thought for a second. "Well, I showed him how to turn the ringer off on
the phone so if he's sleeping, he won't hear it anyway. As long as Dave is
with you, he shouldn't get scared and try to run. But for some reason kids
aren't scared when you approach them."

I smiled when he made his last comment. "OK Trey, we'll go on up and see
what happens." Trey told me what room Alex had so Dave and I went to meet
this mysterious angel. We quickly located the room and stood outside for a
minute to see if we could hear anything coming from inside. We heard nothing
so decided on going in.

When we entered, we noticed the furnishings. Dave had told Trey to give Alex
one of the best rooms in the place and since it was for my love, I didn't
have a problem with that.

One of the things I did with some of my vast fortune was start a charitable
foundation so I could get a good tax write-off. Dave had come up with an
idea about starting a home for children that had been put out of their homes
because of their sexual orientation. He had found this once lavish hotel
that was home to some of England's elite social climbers. Over time, the
number of people staying at the 5 star hotel dwindled to nothing and soon it
was in foreclosure.

I was able to buy it for a song and with a little money to fix it up; Dave
had his dream place for displaced children. This was just over two years ago
and in that time, this place has helped just over one hundred children get
off the street and make something with their lives again. Many of the
children had gotten adopted while the others stayed here and finished their
education. The foundation pays for everything. All we ask in return is that
they stay in school and help out around here in exchange for their room and
board.

Each child received a stipend and they are expected to "pay" for their
rooms. This is just something we do that makes the kids think they are
paying their own way. It also teaches them to properly manage their funds.

Alex's room was small but spacious for one person. It had it's own separate
bedroom with a small living area where he could watch television. There
wasn't a kitchen because cooking in the rooms was not permitted. All the
meals were served downstairs in the dining room. What was done here was a
private bathroom complete with a shower that was installed so he would not
have to use the community bathroom.

Another thing we did was set up a computer lab so the kids could learn about
today's technology as well as keep in touch with the friends they had been
forced to leave behind. We wanted their life here to be as normal as it
would be if they were living at home with their parents.

We have several adults on staff to look out after the kids. Each of them
were checked out thoroughly and they all had degrees in working with
children. Counselors are available 24 hours a day in case the children
needed someone to talk to. During their first week here, they meet all the
staff and get to talk with each one so they can figure out whom they might
like so they can go to them if the need arises.

We walked over to the bedroom door and listened and sure enough we heard the
sound of a person sleeping quite soundly. We quietly opened the door and
went over to the bed. I looked at the child and immediately fell in love
with him. I, like Dave, was shocked at how someone could put their child on
the street and not care any more about him. But when I looked at him his
beauty stunned me. He had golden blonde hair that was naturally curly. I
reached down and gently touched his cheek and his skin was like that of a
newborn baby's. It was milky white and soft as velvet. The only thing I
couldn't tell was the color of his eyes although I think Dave told me they
were blue.

I sat down beside Alex and just watched him sleep. I watched his bare chest
rise and fall as each breath of air entered and left his body. I thought to
myself, I wanted to do something very special for the boy because he
deserved that. For the first time in my life, I was giving very serious
thought to becoming a parent.

I wanted to not only give this boy a home, but he was going to have every
advantage my money could give him. I was now looking at the possible future
heir to my fortune so he was going to learn how to run the NetWorld
International Empire from the ground up. I wanted him to be able to take the
reigns as soon as he graduated from college. See, I want to retire and spend
my time with David and also spend time with my future son. Shit, I'm not
getting any younger now so it's high time to enjoy life.

I took the back of my hand and caressed Alex's cheek
as a father might do to his sleeping son. After a few seconds of this, I
felt him begin to stir and then his beautiful eyes opened. The he did
something that totally took me by surprise. He smiled at me. I saw his
perfect white teeth and his red lips in a perfectly formed smile. I heard
him whisper, "Are you an angel? I see the man that saved me, and you're here
with him so you both must be angels."

I had to smile when he said that. Then I did something that I don't ever do.
I slid my right hand under his knees and put my left arm around his back
then I set him on my lap. I looked at him and said, "No son I'm not an
angel. My name is Mike. This person over there is Dave." I started giggling
saying, "He's no angel either, he's my boyfriend."

At first he seemed startled by my boldness but he soon settled down and he
let his head settle against my chest. He looked up at me and said, "Thank
you for letting me come here." He turned around on my lap so he could see
Dave better. He smiled up at him and said, "Thank you so much for waiting
outside my flat. I'm sorry I was nasty to you. I didn't mean that."

When he turned round our eyes made contact for the first time. I was
immediately transported into another realm. Suddenly I was at one of the
places I went to as a child. I remember the lake my parents took me and
there I was swimming and playing with Alex like neither of us had a care in
the world. As soon as I blinked my eyes, there we were again, back in his
room. His soft blue eyes were like the sky on a clear day. I could see
forever in them. His voice could hypnotize you in a heartbeat and I was
under his spell.

I regained my composure and said "Son, I know you have been through a bit of
a tight spot with your mum and you are still a bit in shock at all she said
and tried to do to you. How do you feel now that you had a chance to relax
and have a nap?"

Alex seemed to snuggle a little tighter into my chest when he got me with
his baby blues again. This time I quickly blinked when he spoke, "I feel
much better sir. I must admit I was quite knackered after talking with Trey
and from what my mum had just done. What time does the dining room open. I'm
famished sir since I missed dinner and I don't think supper will be served
for another hour or so."

I looked at him and smiled saying "Well Alex my boy, why don't you go and
take a shower and Dave and I will see what we can do about getting your
stomach filled up?"

He quickly hoped up out of my lap and asked, "Can you show me how to work
the taps? I've never seen anything like these before and I don't care to
burn myself."

Since Dave was his rescuer, he started to go into the bathroom but Alex
looked at me with those pleading eyes. I quickly solved the problem by
saying, "Dave why don't you go get some towels from Trey so this young man
won't have to air dry before he can get dressed?"

Dave just nodded his head and went to fetch the towels. Alex looked at me
and asked, "Why do I feel so comfortable around you? I have never met you
before today yet I feel I have known you all my life."

"I don't know Alex," I answered. "I feel the same way about you. I have
given thought to something that I would very much like to have happen but I
know it's something that we both are going to have to discuss at length." I
went into the bathroom and started the shower so Alex could get cleaned. I
noticed when he was on my lap, he still smelled of sex. This was a heavenly
smell but it wasn't one he should bring to supper.

I went to tell him his shower was ready but when I turned around, he knew it
was and he was standing there starkers. "Ah son, are you sure you want to be
alone and naked with a stranger?"

He came up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist and said, "I told you,
I feel like I have known you all my life. You could never hurt me."

He was right. Here before me stood a God. A beautiful, maturing God. He was
perfect in every way. His curly hair was cut and styled to perfection. Even
though it was messed up from sleeping, it was perfect nonetheless. His face
was in perfect proportion to his head and body. His chest was developed
perfectly. He had the right amount of muscle to fat. His abdomen was
starting to show a perfect six-pack. His butt had just the right curve to
it, as I would call it, a bubble-butt. His uncut man hood was the perfect
size for him, not to big or to small. His legs were sculpted like a
runner's. They were strong yet sleek. Each had the perfect amount of hair,
just enough to tell he was now a young man.

I could never hurt this child. I was feeling something for him I have never
felt for any of the other children Dave brought here. I reached down and
scooped him up in my arms and said, "Alex while you are washing yourself, I
would like you to think about something. I was wondering if you would like
to have a place that you could call home. Some place where you could be who
you are and never have to worry about being put out ever again. Never, for
as long as you live or want to stay. Would you think about that?"

Suddenly the tears fell from those beautiful eyes. He said, "You would want
to be my Dad? You mean that. How could you want me? I'm gay. No one wants
me."

I pulled him tight into my chest and said, "I don't care what you are. I
care about you for who you are. I see a wonderful, loving child here who has
a lot to offer and needs and craves nothing more than love. So yes, I do
want you. I would be honored to call you my son if you would want to call me
your Dad."

He pulled his arms tighter around my neck saying, "Oh yes, I'd love to call
you Dad. Thank you Dad, thank you, thank you."

"Alright then," I said standing him back on his feet. "Take your shower son,
and let's go to supper."

This time he caught me totally by surprise. He kissed me square on the lips.
Not a kiss of passion mined you, but a kiss like a son would give his dad. I
walked out of the bathroom in my own world and bumped slam into Dave.

"Oomph," I said. "Sorry babe, guess my mind was somewhere else. I don't
believe this but I just asked Alex if he would like me to adopt him." I set
a towel over the rack so Alex could dry himself. As soon as he heard me do
that, he cut the water off and slid open the door letting all the steam out.
Even through the steam, I could make out the total perfection of this God
standing in the shower. I was in total amazement of his beauty but I never
found him sexually attractive. It was as if we had been placed together so I
could be the father of this child.

Dave was laughing when he heard this. "Don't tell me let me guess. He said
yes."

I looked at him and realized that he wasn't being a smart-ass. He was being
totally sincere. "Yes my love, he did say yes."

I heard a voice call from bathroom. "Dad, could you bring me something to
wear." I was about to say something when he stepped out in all his naked
glory. "I guess since you both will be caring for me, it doesn't matter if
you should see me naked. "

David was in awe of his beauty just as I was the first time I saw him. "My
God love, he is beautiful. In all my years, I have never seen someone as
totally perfect as he is. He could be a model."

I looked over quickly to Dave and said, "No way love. My son will not be
exploited before a camera for the whole world to see. He is going to be just
a normal kid who can play and enjoy what few years he has left of his
childhood. Why don't you call downstairs and see if Trey would like to join
up for dinner. We have one stop to make before we get to the restaurant.
Have Trey call my tailor and see if he can work Alex in. I would like to get
him a jacket and tie."

At first Alex was against getting a jacket. But now, seeing his hopefully
soon to be father wearing one, he thought it would be most fitting if his
son wore one too. He didn't like the idea of me spending my money on him
though so he said, "Father, I have some money, I can get it. You don't have
too."

I was very moved when I heard him say this. I picked him up and kissed his
cheek saying, "Nonsense son. A father outfits the child properly and I will
do nothing less. Besides, it would me my honor to have you fitted for a
proper jacket. Does this meet with your approval?"

Alex smiled when he heard this and in his best queens English he said, "Why
thank you father. I shall be quite honored to wear what you purchase for me"

We all broke into a fit of laughter when Alex said that. Once I composed
myself I said, "Well then, come along Master Alex, the tailor awaits our
arrival."

We went downstairs and Trey was waiting for us. I handed him the keys to the
car and sat in back with Alex. I could tell Alex was moved by this
automobile so I said, "Get used to it son. This is just one of several I
own. Tomorrow you will see many other things that you will like just as
much."

Trey told Alex, "I hope big houses don't scare you. Mike's is huge baby. If
I know Mike like I know I do, your room will be like a palace with so many
things it will take forever to play with them all."

Alex squeezed my hand and said, "Dad, I don't care about that. I don't care
if you are rich or poor. You are already richer beyond my wildest dreams. I
will soon have a Dad who loves me for me. That's more that I have ever had.
I can't say for sure if my mum loved me or not. Judging what she did today,
I don't think she really did. She then tried to hand Dave here a line of
bloody rubbish about kids always being a hand full. How the hell would she
know because she's either gone or asleep?"

Alex was almost in tears at this point. I slid him onto my lap and rocked
him for a few minutes to calm him down. "It's alright son. Nothing like that
will ever happen to you again. Trey, do you think we can bend the rules a
little by letting Alex here stay at my place for the night, I'll see to it
he is in school tomorrow.

Alex spoke up saying, "Hey since when do we have school on Saturday? Is this
something at the safehouse? I mean, yes sir. I'll be in class tomorrow. I
promise."

Now I felt bad. I totally forgot today was Friday. "No son, you don't have
school tomorrow. I completely forgot today was Friday."

Alex looked at me and smiled. He gave me the usual kiss on the cheek then
slid back onto the seat just as Trey pulled up to the tailor's shop.

We exited the car and went inside the store. As with every time I come in,
it's always a rush to see who it is that is going to wait on me. This time
however was different. As soon as they laid eyes on Alex, everyone in the
place was frozen in their tracks.

Finally Cody, the newest sales clerk came up and said, "Yes sir, how my I
assist you this afternoon?"

I held my had out to him and said, "What's you name son, I don't believe I
know you. My name Is Mike Davis and this is Alex."

Cody extended his hand and doing his best to remain totally professional
said, "Pleased to meet you, sir. I'm Cody Smith."

Alex extended his had out saying, "I'm Alex, nice to meet you sir."

When he came to Alex it was something different all together. Cody extended
his hand to Alex and as soon as they touched poor Cody started stammering.
"Ah, yes. Hello Alex"

I took this lad off the hook saying quietly, "He has that effect on everyone
so don't feel bad."

Just then the owner came over and tried to take this sale from the young
man. "That will be all Smith."

Before he could get out another word, I stopped him in his tracks. "Just a
minute. Not one of you stepped forward to assist us because you were all to
busy starring at this Alex here. But as soon as this young man comes over to
help, you think you can just run him off. I don't think so. Now do you want
my business or not?"

The owner said, "Excuse me Mr. Davis. Of course Mr. Smith here may assist
you. Anything you need, we'll be more than happy to accommodate you."

I told Cody what I wanted then left him to work his magic on Alex, and that
he did.
