We were on our toes every minute when we were together with Mr Cook and his sons. I know he too was having a difficult time and I wanted so badly to tell him what was going on. I knew that if either Gregg or I mentioned anything about what we knew about his boys, that our friendship would be destroyed ending our relationship with Mr Cook. Their father was more than just a friend he was more like a Lover who was always there when you needed someone to bleat to, or talk over your most intimate problems. Both Gregg and I loved Mr Cook,but I guess in a different way than his own sons. If we thought we were having problems we could just imagine what was going through the minds of Peter and Cody. Mr Cook was never the least bit intimate with Gregg or I like we used to be, he was always on his guard lest we were noticed. No more bum pinching or hugging or enemas or fudging or anything. I had a chance to talk privately to Mr Cook one evening when Gregg had lured the boys out of the house. "Mr Cook this is the hardest time of my whole life. " I proclaimed. "I know Gerry but there isn't anything I can do about it. The boys come first," he said "Is there nothing we can do. ?" I asked quietly. "We will just have to bide our time and perhaps it was best if we just forgot all about the past, and remain good friends and you and Gerry be mates for the boys," he said unhappily. The weeks went by and it didn't appear as though we were ever going to resume our relationship with Mr Cook, that is until one day Peter complained that he wasn't feeling well and asked his Dad if he would clean him out. Mr Cook looked at each of us and replied that he thought both of the boys were long overdue. Smiles came over our faces as though they had opened the door for Gregg and I. "Do you know what Dad is going to do ?" Peter asked. I played innocent and replied that I thought he would be given a laxative or some kind. "Gerry Dad is going to give me and Cody an enema. That cleans us out and we always feel better afterwards, right Dad?" Mr Cook looked slightly embarrassed as he looked first at me then at Gregg. "Does your Mom ever give you an enema Gerry ? Peter asked " Hardly ever. I don't think she likes doing it" I replied "My Mom gives me one whenever I get sick. I sometimes pretend just so she gives me one. I like having them because I feel so much better when I'm done, and besides I get a boner every time," Gregg announced chuckling as he said it. So the conversation went, with Mr Cook feeling somewhat uncomfortable as he tried to decide how he was going to handle the situation. He had already told the boys they would have one. Now it was his move and how would his decision affect Gregg and I, his own two boys.?
