Subject: The Amusment Arcade.   Part 9

This story comes from my imagination. It is fiction. The characters are
different as are the places to protect the people who may think that they
are involved in this story someway.  The mission of this is to bring as
close as possible to you part of the life that could have happened.

I have the copyright to this and all other stories written by me so if you
wish to use this then please ask. This will include all fee-paying sites.

The story of a relationship between a man and a boy is in most countries
against the law so do please check to protect yourself.

Does love really exist? This story I hope will go some way into answering
that question.



                           The Amusement Arcade.



                                    Part 9



                         The Wedding Gift.



The school had become so grateful that I had taken the time to speak to the
boys about all, and any information they needed. The school could not
supply what happened that weekend. I gathered that the group had all become
friends, yet neither of them had made a move to get any contact with each
other or any of the other boys at the school.

Brian had got to almost the top level in his class. He asked me to buy him
a book with a gold or silver cover. Brian had some strange requests
sometimes. I found him coming to me more often but he never showed any
uneasy feelings if I was unable to help him.

Time had come when he spent 3 days with his mum then 4 days with me. My
time included the weekend. The book Brian asked me to get was written in
each day. I was making notes so we had both begun to keep Diaries. For us
both to keep notes about what we felt, what we did and all the promises we
made, could have been very dangerous. I had a safety deposit box so set one
up for Brian.

The bank said he was too young but with the amount of money they had of
mine, agreed to the request. In the box he kept his book, the first school
report, a letter finally his ring and the necklace that Caroline had given
him. School was quite stern so it was the best place to keep jewellery.

Mary asked me for some help. Her divorced husband was emigrating
permanently. The final forms to do with the children had to be signed.
Caroline solicitors were not that immediate acting type of solicitor. Mary
needed someone who could act fast with surprise against her ex-husband. I
sent her to mine.

Well Mary was in the office when he faxed her ex husband in Australia.
There was almost an immediate answer. She said that in 5 minutes her long
marriage was over and it was done. She did not even need to go to court, my
legal team did the papers and in one afternoon her life was wrapped up for
good.

"Hi Nathan this is Mary. Would you care to meet me in Cuddles for Old time
sake?" I was free so at 12-30 we both met.

"Hey George the millionaire is in again. Better get some Skate on."

It was good to be remembered.

"Nathan I have something very important to talk to you about. First, thank
you for your help with all those forms. Now then. I am going to be
moving. I have become solvent thanks to you and Caroline. I am going to
stay with my sister. She lives in Spain. I thought you should know first."

When I first came into this restaurant I was asked if I was after Mary's
son. The atmosphere was totally silent. Well that's what it seemed like.
Now Mary drops this on me. Again I was suffering the silent totality of the
room. I wondered just how long Brian was going to stay at the school before
leaving with his Mother. From the few words I guessed that the family were
leaving almost immediately. Stupid, pathetic, moronic so many words could
describe what happen to me. The Skate was delivered, I left. I cannot even
remember how much money I left for the meal. I told Red to take me to
Caroline's.

Caroline's comments said it all, "You look a mess. Into my office." I
cannot remember getting there. "I guess Mary has told you her news?" To
allow the pressure to escape I wanted to cry. I just could not begin to do
it. I curled up on her sofa and started to ask things that no one in my
surroundings could answer. Caroline said that I had to let go. It could
never have been real. Mary just allowed her son to get his wish. In Spain
there may be another. She is as upset as you. Just think what Brian is
going to be like. It's Wednesday. When his Mother tells him I hate to think
what he might do. He might smash the place up or even run away have you
thought of that or are you just thinking about yourself again?"

It was 4-30. Red called to say that Brian had been talking with his mum. I
never asked anything. "Something happened. Brian was shouting Spain. He was
over the moon. He tried to call you but Mary said you went for a walk and
did not know when you would be back. Mary thinks it best that she and Brian
see you together. I wonder if a meal at the Tower might be a good idea."

I was on the speakerphone. Caroline hit a button, "Good thinking Red. 8pm
tomorrow"

I then did something that I had not done in a long time. I walked the sea
front. I sat opposite for a while looking at the new Arcade that was almost
ready to open. I remember it as Tangles. B.r.a.n. now took its place. The
names of the owners lit up for all to see. I was sitting on one of the new
stainless steel rubbish bins across from the Arcade. I stood up lifting the
bin high above my head. The siren of the police car sounded while the car
stopped right next to me.

"Hello sir. Now what would you be going to do with such a pretty bin?" We
all had a long talk. Brian's name was never mentioned. They agreed that
they could not stop me smashing my own property but thought "What's the bin
done to you for you to hurt it?" The police gave me a lift home. I gave
them some coffee and my grateful thanks. No sooner than they left I called
Peter.

"I have a job for you. I want you to work out a price for the Arcade, my
house and the 25% share in the Tower. I want to sell the lot. It is to be
sold in one go and not 3 separate entities. Once a figure is agreed. They
are to pay that amount to you. Once done I will have 7 days to remove my
things and they can take control."

Peter argued. "This has something to do with Brian?" I gave him a brief
explanation. He said that he would make enquiries. I started to make a list
of all the things that I did not want. I asked Red to help me get rid of
the rubbish. In return I would give him the car to start his own Limo
business.

I called my legal guys to explain things over the next few days. The top
guy said he was tied up with a few appointments. "I will see you next
Monday 9am. I will have the papers for you to sign then I will do the
rest. I will not ask but knowing you it must have been something bad to get
you to move this quick." He accepted that personal things are private but I
could share anything I wanted.

At 7pm Friday, I washed and dressed like a businessman. Red took me for a
drive. We watched the builders boarding up the Arcade. "What's going on?"
He looked while I cried. He never moved till my composure had been
regained. I wanted to talk to someone but my mind was full of Brian so any
friend that I could have gone to just disappeared from my thoughts. Red
looked at me harshly when the name of the Arcade was ripped down. He
demanded to know. I remembered the doctor. Red must have broken the speed
limit but got me they're in less than 5 minutes.

"I have been waiting. Caroline said you would most likely call." Well I
never left a word out. It was a speech entwined with tears and anger. The
Doctor regrettably started to tell me that I was being stupid. I heard him
say Brian then blanked ever other word. He gave me 3 pills. "Sleep well if
you need to."

I almost took the pills and demanded to go home. Red did not say a word. We
drove to the Tower. In the lift I could hear the party well under way. The
room was full and the show was going strong. In a far corner Mary was with
Pam and Brian. I just hit the bar knowing that a good Brandy would help my
evening. It was as if I did not exist. I watched them all smiling. I could
see where the happiness was. I did after the second glass decide that I did
not want my depressive state to infect the joy that ran around the table.
Pam came to say hello. She was sweet. I even got a card. I said I would
open it later. I could imagine a bear with thank you on it. I remember the
one we won at the funfair. I would take it with me. Some mementos would be
worth keeping. I made a judgment. The ring I had on, I took off. First I
dropped it in the Brandy. That would join the last drink I had this
evening, inside me. The glass magnified the letters N and B. I took it
out. The man behind the bar rinsed it off for me. After I quickly dried it,
I replaced it back on the finger it came from. Caroline spoke to Red.

"Red said, "Sir do you mind if I take Mary and her things to the airport?"

I said no. My heart was all beating with strange sounds. I thought that it
was going to stop. I watched all the goodbyes while I pondered just what I
was going to say. Mary smiled. Caroline grabbed hold of me. "You can wait
in my office if that will make you feel better." I walked away. The
children followed Mary and neither looked for me. I was thinking all the
bad things I could but they had enough people saying good-bye without
another who would have been crying while trying to speak. I saw the Brandy
so poured a glass. The top window showed the car take off for the airport.

Between the pills and the Brandy It stopped me crying. I was going to
leave. The emotional party had finished. I could see me waiting for some
letter so that I had some contact. I saw the show was continuing but the
far table apart from all the mess was being cleared, it was empty. I was
almost gaining my composure when a singer started to sing a love song for
the couple that were seated at the front. I could feel my lips shudder. I
wondered how Caroline did this night after night.

I could hear the laughing of the people who had been at the far table. Even
Red whose voice was so low was loudly laughing like a machine gun. "I see
you found the good Brandy. So what's next? I hear that you almost smashed
the Arcade down? Peter tells me that you are selling up. Life cannot be
that bad no matter what happened?"

I went against my judgment offering the 25% of the Tower to Caroline. She
refused. "Just think about it after you have slept on it."

The love song seems to be louder now so I said I would go think on it but I
would have an early night. I began to think that was best. I sat to finish
the last drop of Brandy when the hidden tears began to fall. I was so
pleased to be left alone. The room was blurred. I was about to get my coat
when the door opened.

"I better take you home." Looking at me was Brian. "Well do you want to go
or not?" The English language left me for a while. I stumbled through
various words that I thought made up sentences. All that came out was a
selection of words from several different countries. Brian reached my coat
taking the card that Pam had given me. "Open this." I fumbled with the
letter keeping my eyes up making sure that it was Brian still there.

"Well Nathan, the time has come for me to go. Pam and I thank you for all
you have done. This is something you should know. Brian is my stepson. His
father as you know has gone. I gave him the choice at what to do. He said
that he would be much happier with me. The papers are for you.  All my love
and thanks. Mary."

The other papers were forms signed by Mary and officially recorded with the
court that Brian's Father had given Parental Finality to Nathan Daniels.

"Check the red form."

It was a birth certificate for one Brian Daniels. "Looks like you have a
son now. Remember the promise. Well that form is like a certificate that
now says we are one. Do you mind that I asked for you to be mine?"

I think the hug lasted for a long time. Caroline said that if I had only
waited things would have been right from the earliest moment. "His cases
are in the car, but there is something that I believe will make this right
for both of you. Please meet Kevin Nash. He is a boy lover like you
Nathan. He is Peter's friend. His job is quite special. He is a Lay
Preacher. Although it is not official what you have is not official
either. So with his help we have just enough private people to give you
what you might both want. The ability to get married?"

I looked at Brian while he looked at me. "Dad shall we? You know its what I
asked, but you never answered without doubt." I think I must have shouted
for the whole tower to hear. We both made vows to each other, we even added
the Love honour and obey. I said for the rest of my life. Brian whispered,
"I wont be a boy for much longer in your life."

I told him that now we were together I would never let him go. After 30
minutes Kevin said to Brian "You may kiss the Man." People left us for a
while. "I have with mum's help got something special for us. Do not be
angry when I ask you this. Are you sure I can be all that you want?" I
asked the same. We decided to go home. Together we left with Red dropping
us off. He would collect Brian for school on Monday.

As soon as Red left I carried Brian over the threshold. "Lets not waste any
time." I watched while my son undressed. He stood in the living room
wearing nothing but a one pieced button slip. Purple in colour. It was this
moment that Brian gave me a pack from Mary. The note read, "I guess that
you both will need these. Inside were two rings that had been sized to
perfection. We took our time and covered each other's fingers.

Brian walked slowly upstairs. I followed. He had made my bed ours. I was so
happy that standing there naked with my boy in bed was perfect. I felt him
in the slip. It was smooth like silk. As every button opened his excitement
grew. That night we made love several times. My one special part was the
moment Brian said he would love me always then climaxed, showering us both
with a mixture of boys clear fluid then one white shot of extreme
pleasure. He did it to me. I was like a volcano. My sperm flew over us
both.

I held my son, my son held me. Never again did we use father and son. From
that moment we chose to call each other beloved. Of course man boy love
could never exist but maybe one day you will see us and understand that it
took us a long time to say I Do. If we see you, we will wave.

The final part of this story comes over the next few weeks. I wont tell you
all that happens but we both got to know just what had been missing inside
our hearts. Me. I loved my beloved in the coloured slips brought especially
for me. Brian, he loves me undressing him to find out what colour he had
chosen for me. This man and boy were now 1. Forever and ever.

At the funfair we had our fortunes read. We both would live happy and
fulfilling lives. From the day we said yes we never saw Mary again. She did
write but the letters became infrequent. Her last said that she would never
believe that the boy she knew would fall madly in love with a man she knew,
or was it the other way around. We send all the readers a kiss to show you
that our love is the most tender of them all.

Brian did manage to become top of the class. When his friends came to stay
they all understood just what true love could do. From the New Year both
Brian and I signed everything in both names. Peter and my lawyer got a real
marriage certificate which as far as we knew no one had gone that far to
get before. Brian remembered Mary but the day she signed the papers he had
made his own choice. The silver rubbish bins opposite BRAN, owners N and B
Daniels were all called Pam. A teddy bear was engraved on each. The Arcade
became the biggest thing going on the sea front. Everyone said it could get
no bigger. Our love knew different. Caroline brought a big brewery. She
converted 20 pubs into places called the "The Lion's Den. I brought the
Tower. Red runs it for me with a fleet of 12 Limousines. Why, I do not
know, but Brian and I took BRAN and spread them all around the coast. He is
going to be a very good businessman. Still at school I go watch him at
sports days. His pride though was to have been given the help to buy a
boat.  It's big enough for just us. We christened it The Queen Mary's Mum.
Well I better end this because my love is waiting for me. We are going for
a meal for old time sake to Cuddles. I cannot think of a better way to
close "I think we better get our Skate's on" I hope you can find love with
happiness that I have found with Brian.

Nathan J Daniels. Call me Lucky.

Flames ignored and extinguished.

This is the end of "The Amusement Arcade."


Have you ever found that kind of love? Let me know. When I have collected
them all, I will get Brian to help me compose the one-off story called "The
Open Diary." It will be based on what you have to say and nothing to do
with us.

B R A N keeps your love life regular.
