Subject: Condo kid (Part 25)

Finally rising from the sofa, I pulled Eric to his feet, and, naked, we
headed to the shower, to rinse away the remnants of our passionate love
making. Sated, as we both were, from out recent, and intense, coupling, the
shower was primarily a hygienic affair, and, other than my being absolutely
unable to resist tenderly sucking his sweet, soft, boy meat briefly, was
uneventful.

Eric had expressed his usual post-sex "I'm HUNGRY!!" so we dressed, and,
belted into the Mustang, headed for the Burger Shack at the beach! Eric was
positively glowing, and made hysterical sing alongs with the radio, as we
drove. We arrived, parked the ride, and climbed the short stairway to the
dining deck, outside, and overlooking the beach.

Greeting us at the landing was yet another Surf's Up Magazine poster boy,
who with great flair, ushered us to a corner table, armed us with menu's,
and, taking our drink orders, departed the area. We briefly perused the bill
of fare, but had already pretty much decided on the way that the Bacon
Cheeseburger, onion Ring/French fry thing was definitely worth a reprise!
Hang-Ten cutie returned, and failed miserably at his attempt to not drool
over my Eric, as he took our order!

We gazed out over the beach, checking out the nearby eye candy of various
sizes and shapes, and chatted pleasantly, back and forth. The drinks,
followed shortly by the food, arrived, and we dug in, hungrily! The meal was
equal to the previous times, and we had soon devoured all but the paper
liners and plastic baskets! I summoned the Poster Boy, who was only too
happy to rush right over, deftly placing a hand on Eric's shoulder, as he
inquired of our need. Eric got the drift, and giggled sweetly, the rosy
blush enhancing his creamy cheeks! The kid was a definite magnet, and still
just 14!!

Having filled out Surf Doggies near future jackoff dance card, I paid the
tab, tipped hot stuff enough to rent his OWN boy for the day, and we walked
down to the beach. Our stomachs full to bulging, we decided a beach walk was
in order. The day was perfect, again, with warm sunshine bathing the white
sand beach, so we stripped off our shirts, and barefoot, and bare chested,
we walked along the surfs edge, hand in hand!

My mind was toiling, knowing that I needed to bring Eric up to speed on
recent developments, and my trip to Vegas tomorrow, and it's implied
results. I would have much preferred contemplation of a novacane free tooth
extraction, or two, but I realized it needed to be addressed, like it, or
not! We walked along, pausing from time to time, to toss rocks into the
ebbing surf, and pick up various small seashells, which Eric slid into his
pocket. We reached the end of the beach, where a bluff of land jetted out to
meet the water, blocking further advancement in our direction. Reaching some
large, hilly, sand dunes, I sat, and pulled Eric into my lap, hugging him
tightly I my arms!

I held him, and rocked him, and nuzzled his soft, sweet smelling, neck, the
tiny, silky hairs there, tickling my nose! We were silent a while,, then
Eric lifted his sweet face, and looked seriously into my eyes. "What......?"
he asked me, in a soft, quiet voice. I stared into those deep, dark, pools,
and felt my heart crack....then break, in two!! "Oh, Baby....Eric..." I
started, then stopped! He looked at me some more, and I was
lost....drowning....in those almost black eyes......his look was all
seriousness....his antenna all on full alert.....something was up....and he
knew it!! "What.......??" He repeated, and I sucked in a deep breath!

"Eric....precious Eric....Baby...." I stammered, "Oh.....damn
it....I....well....shit....ok...baby....I had a job offer, yesterday.....a
good job offer...." I trailed off. I felt him inhale deeply, and he shifted
slightly in my lap, then refocused his gaze into my eyes, saying, almost
inaudibly,
"Oh....uh....cool....uh.....where...Rob...here....right.....Rob....??" He
asked. I drew in another gulp of air, and replied, "Oh Baby....not here Baby
Boy.....in Las Vegas, Eric!" I hugged his small body even tighter, and
stared into his deep pools, and watched, as tears welled up behind his long
lashes, and spilled from the corners of his eyes, wetting each creamy cheek,
as it slid down his face! He blinked rapidly, trying not to tear up, the
sweet smile gone from his trembling lips, and whispered,
"Oh....yea...well....so....Vegas.....it's not so far, actually, Rob!!" He
gutted out, drawing a small hand to his leaking eyes, and wiping away the
wetness. I caved, lock, stock, and barrel! I wrapped my arms around his
shaking body, and drew him tightly against me, hugging my boy so tightly, I
probably was hurting him!

He pressed his face against my shoulder, his arms around my neck, squeezing
me tightly! I felt his small body quiver, and he gave up a deep sob, as he
lost his edge, and began to cry, sobbing deeply! I stroked his
back....hugged his body...kissed his soft hair....rocked him in my
arms....and let him cry...as salty tears stung my own eyes, blurring my
vision, then spilling over, and streaking my face with their wetness!!

I rocked him, holding him tightly, as he continued to be racked with tears,
keeping his face buried tightly against my shoulder and chest, trying to
pull it all together! "Oh Baby....Eric....it's going to be ok,
buddy.....really.....I'd never leave you forever, Baby...never...we can
still be together....Eric...Baby.....you can come and stay with me
there....lots of times...baby......honest.....!" I tried to console
him....and myself...I felt his head moving against my chest, and realized he
was nodding....he was hearing me...and.....maybe...realizing that all was
not quite as black as it had seemed...a minute...a lifetime...ago!

Eric sobbed a few more times against my chest.....then....sniffed loudly,
several times...as I brought a hand to my face, and wiped away my own
tears....trying desperately to suck it up...be strong....for...Eric....! He
leaned back in my lap, then, his sweet, angelic face rising, to look at
me.....his dark pools wet....and shining...his rosy cheeks streaked...and
teary.....his lush, full, lips, formed into a darling pout....he sniffed,
and passed the back of his hand under his cute, red nose, and he
tried.....really tried...to smile at me!!!

"Oh God Eric...baby....it's really....really...really...ok.....I love you
Baby....I'd gladly die...before I'd ever say goodbye to you!!" I told him,
hugging him strongly and trying for a smile of my own! "I know,
Rob.....honest....I do....and....I....oh...ooh...I just love you.....soooo
much....!" He stammered, as he gulped air, and tried for a brave boy look! I
felt my heart break into even smaller pieces....and tried my best to ignore
it....sucking in deep breaths, and holding my boy tightly!

A long, silent, time passed, as we hugged, and rocked slowly on the soft
sand. I stroked his back, his soft, silky, hair, and kissed his creamy
cheek, murmuring softly to him the whole time! Eventually, he sighed deeply,
and sat up straight in my lap, a tiny smile at the corners of that lush,
kissable, mouth. He blinked several times, and again, wiped his eyes, then
said, "It's actually pretty cool...maybe....I mean....well.....I never been
there before..Las Vegas....might be pretty fun....even...!" He croaked,
horse voiced. I broke into my best grin, and answered, "Oh Eric....my
Baby....yes......I will make absolutely sure...it WILL be....pretty fun....I
promise, baby.......!!"

He nodded, and sniffed, and then that killer grin crept across his sweet
face, as he yelped excitedly, "Well......cool...then....so...like......when
can I come.....then!!?" I chuckled softly, and ruffled his hair, and
answered, "Well....soon....very soon....we can talk about all of that...and
get it worked out....ok, Baby??" he nodded some more, and seemed to be past
the tears, then quietly said, "Well....hey....it coulda
been...like....what...New York...or sompthin!!" I had to laugh at that, and
soon, Eric joined in, and we both sat, cuddled, and chuckling softly,
unhappy....but happy...realizing a difference was in the
offing....but...NOT......a long goodbye!!

We sat there, a long time, and quietly talked it all through. I told him
what I knew of the job, and how it was exactly what I had hoped for, before
I had met him, and I told him of my interview trip, tomorrow, and that I
would probably be moving to Vegas soon. He listened quietly as I spoke,
nodding his head  lot, and in the end, he understood.....and accepted...as I
did...what our future would look like! We agreed that, while it wasn't as
good as the recent past, it also wasn't the end....not even close!!

The sun was sinking low, seeming to slide into the water of the blue
Pacific....I almost expected to see steam rise off the water, as the
fireball slipped into the western horizon....we walked, Eric, and I, hand in
hand, along the ebbing surf line, as the blazing sky slowly turned
day.....into night!!

(To Be Continued)

Whew!! Gawd....I hated that!! Life can do that, sometimes, I know, but it
still sorta sux!! For me, even a "so long".....not a goodbye...is rough,
where Eric is involved!! Continued thanks for all of your great emails!!
They mean a lot, and I appreciate each one!!! Bobhook10@hotmail.com
