"Sioni.cont."

				 PART NINE


That evening as I sat back and watched TV I had a nice warm comfortable
feeling about everything that had happened although I was still,in the back
of my mind, fighting a battle with my consience about Sioni's age wich was
getting harder to not deny especially as he was curled up on a cushion on
the floor in front of me with his body between my legs and his arms resting
on my knee's.

I did not take much notice of what was on the television but instead let my
mind drift where it wanted and as the thoughts came and went I began to
realise how empty my life had been before he appeared,was it true that
there was someone for everyone,or is that just an old wives tale to make us
loners feel better about our selves?.

What did he see in me that I could not see,I'm no great catch, 5'9" 73kg,
greyiing hair and a few wrinkles starting to make them selves known, I
suppose that the one good feature was that I could not get fat, it didn't
seem to matter what I ate I just stayed the same weight and had for years
never been over the 73kg that I had been at 25yrs old.

I looked down to the boy at my feet and realised I had been combing his
black,straight, silky hair with my fingers as I had been thinking and was
aware that he was almost humming, or was it more like purring, in
contentment,then it struck me like a bolt from the blue,there was no way
that I could live without him by my side.

"Ben,,,Ben,,,Ben, are you ok?"

"Umph,What was that Sioni?"

"I asked if you're ok, you look like a spirit"

Spirit what was he talking about,and then my eyes went to the small wall
mirror above the TV,my eye's were staring blindly out at me and my face was
pale and sweating, looking down at Sioni's upturned face I could see
concern and uncertainty.

"Hey, it's ok I just realised how much I love you and how I want you in my
life forever"

A huge smile broke out on his face as he looked up at me, then with a
wriggle he moved up from my knee's, across my body and clasped me around
the neck with both arms placing a small peck on my mouth hugging close to
me and then nestling down on to my shoulder.

"Ben?"

"Yes,kiddo?"

"When you love someone,does your belly feel all tight like you're sick,and
your head goes all funny like when you're sleepy but dont want to go to
bed, and your fingers and toes tickle?"

I looked at him still there on my shoulder wondering where this had come
from and began to think that he'd just mentioned the way I was feeling
right at the moment of truth, when I realised I could never live without
him.

"Yes Sioni,I suppose the first time you find the person that you want to
spend all your life with, you would feel like that,why did you ask that
question?"

"Well, my palangi,thats how I feel right now."

Lifting his head until he was cheek to cheek he tightened his arms a little
more and relaxed into me as my arms also tightened around him feeling his
slender back as the tension eased out of him.

"Hey mister, look at the time,it's almost 10.30 and you've got school
tomorrow and I've some work to do in the city as well,so I think it's bed
time don't you?"


Leaning back from his perch he smiled at me with a glint in his eye's
nodding his head.

"Yesss?"

"Hey Mister, it's a school and work day tomorrow so dont start anything we
wont finish before 11.00 o'clock,ok?"

A pouting look came to his mouth and if it had not been for the glint in
his eyes I may have been taken in by it, then with a final wriggle and
snuggle he jumped to his feet and went towards the bedroom, but the devil
still emerged as he glanced over his shoulder as he reached the doorway,
giving me a come hither look, giggled,wagged his tail end like a puppy and
disapeared into the room.

I sat there for a moment, the heat rising in my face as I thought of that
parting, here I was nearly 50 yrs old and blushing like an apple stealing
school boy caught with his pockets full.

After making sure the apartment was secure for the night I headed to
bed,it's nice to have a spring in your step that had never been there
before.

Sioni was laying on his side facing the door watching and waiting for me to
get into bed, holding the covers back for me while he watched every move I
made as I undressed,and yes i'm a naked sleeper just like he is,it seemed
we had a lot in common with many things and skin to skin is the only way to
let your lover know how you feel about him, at least that's how I feel.

As I slipped into bed Sioni snuggled up close, his arm over my chest and
his upper leg over mine, his warmth seeping into my own skin, (and yes he
was like a rock where his mother never kissed him) as he whispered in my
ear.

"Just sleeping,yes?"

"Yes Sioni,that's best i think, we've all our lives to play so there's no
hurry is there"

"Yes my palangi,it's good like this."

He sighed, snuggled a little closer, if that was possible, and his
breathing settled slowly into an even pattern as he drifted off to sleep,I
lay there going over in my mind the events of the last week and a half and
as my eyes closed my last thought was that maybe there was a god or
something like that,that looked after us loners.



				PART TEN

I was awoken the next morning to the feel of an earth quake shaking the bed
and a draft of air blowing over my face,a weight bearing down on my chest
making it difficult to breathe,fear was the first reaction,(we are not
known as the shakey isles for nothing) earth quakes are quite common but
this one was at least a 6.5, I struggled with the fog in my brain to move
and then the giggle came through to my conciousness and I opened my eye's
to see Sioni sitting on my chest bouncing up and down while he blew softly
into my ear between giggles.

"Talofa,my palangi,did you sleep well?" (giggle)

"Yes kiddo, but i didn't wake up to good"

"Oh, why?"

"Well I think my bed was invaded by a jack rabbit"

More giggles then a big hug, and of course the little bird peck on the
cheek,it was going to be easy to wake up like this every morning, to see
the sparkling brown slightly asian eye's,then down to the slender neck and
nice shoulders just starting to lightly muscle up, on down to a smooth
chest, firm but not overly heavy with nipples the size of a ten cent piece
and the formation of a youthful six pack with an inny near the last roll of
muscle, and the slender waist wich looked to be no more than about 26"
round and all of it covered with a light caramel smooth and hairless
skin,damn 5'4" of smooth,smiling,beautiful dynamite, and he was starting to
light my fuse.

"Your coffee is on the table here and i'm going to have a shower,you wash
my back Ben?"

"You trying to wear out the old man, kiddo?"

"Oh no Ben,I just like to practise a lot."

I grabbed him around the waist and began to tickle him on the ribs, he
began to squeal and laugh as he struggled to break away, when I thought he
was a little like jelly I stopped and wiped the laughter tears from his
cheeks and kissed him on the nose as he squirmed on top of the bed his
lavalava lifting up around his hips just enough to give him a swat on the
rear.

"Shower mister or we'll never get out of here."

"Love you Ben"

"Love you Sioni, now shower, go."

I reached over for a sip of coffee and surprised my self by almost bouncing
out of bed, feeling like a 20 year old again, yes i know what your'e
thinking, life is not a bowl of cherries or box of chocolates or what ever
but with him beside me there was going to be nothing I could not handle
even the damn beaurocrats at the DCYFS office (dept of child, youth and
family services) thats right, I was going to do everything in my power to
somehow secure for him a permanent place here beside me.

The shower stopped and then he appeared throught the doorway drying his
hair,his skin glowing and bringing with him the clean scent of pure youth
and soap with a hint of herbal shampoo, the lithe muscles in his arms
working as he rubbed furiously.

"Ok my palangi, it's ready for you, I'll change for school now."

With a last long look at one of gods better creations I went into the
shower emerging 15 minutes later to see Sioni dressed ready for school,a
smile on his face and his arms held out toward me, well what would you do,
the same I bet,so I did what came natural and picked him up for a good bye
kiss(Tongue and all) then set him down on his feet again to pick up his
back pack and head for the door, damn it was going to be a long day without
him, even though I had a bit to do at work today it was still going to be a
long time till 4.00 o'clock.

Just as the door was closing I heard a small voice and another giggle.

"Love you my palangi"

He was gone, the door closing before I could answer,ok buster get a move on
you've got a lot to do today,first job was to collect the tickets for next
weeks trip to the capital,then to the office to see the other two partners
and collect the unsigned contracts and trying to avoid my secretary as
well, then organise an appointment with the dreaded DCYFS,but that should
not be to much of a problem as I have a few favours to collect in that area
so it might help a little.

When that was all done there was just the matter of sorting out a new house
or apartment for both of us and then down to the mariner to get the boat
ready for a little surprise for gods little gift,yes thats right i'm a
fanatical fisherman and like to be out on the water when ever I can make it
( which is most of the time) and it is nice that Sioni is from the islands
as I'm sure he will love it out there,I had not metioned the boat to him
hoping it would be a good surprise this coming weekend.

By 3.00 o'clock i was back home going through the contracts when at 3.30
the door bell rang and glancing at the clock realised that it couold not be
Sioni, besides he had his own key so it meant a visitor, but who would be
coming around here at this time of day, I rose out of the chair and went to
open the door.

"Collin, what are you doing here?"

Collin was a friend and also my estate agent, we had gone to school
together and had remained close friends since those times, he was as
straight as a die but also because of our friendship i had no need to hide
my sexuality from him as he said it made no difference to him so why should
it bother our friendship.

I invited him in and we sat for a little while chatting about his wife and
two kids, then about the real estate business, until he said.

"Ben whats all this nonsence about selling your apartment, you know it is a
buyers market out there at the moment, why sell it now when it is so down,
if you wait for a couple of months you would get a much better price."

Just as he finished I heard the scraping of a key in the lock of the door
and saw that Collin had also heard it,he looked at me and lifted his
eyebrow, what could I do, So i smiled and nodded my head as he glanced at
the doorway only to see a blur of uniform charge acroos the room toward me,
then the whirlwind came to a sudden halt as Sioni saw I had a visitor.

"Well I think a nice bungalow over in half mooon bay would be the best for
you two, and I think I know of one coming up for sale this week, you want
to see it, say Friday?"

Collin looked at the stuned expression on my face as he got to his feet and
moved over to where Sioni stood rooted to the spot.

"Hello, my names Collin,if that old bugger gives you any trouble you call
for me, ok?"

"HHHello Mr. Collin, my names Sioni, and Mr.Ben would never do anything
wrong to me."

"Well, polite,handsome and devoted, not a bad combination there Ben, anyway
I have to go will call you Thursday to set up the house for Friday, and I
can see now why you want to move."

As Collin let himself out I could hear the chuckle and a mumbled "Bout
bloody time" as he left but I barely heard it as my arms were filled with
happy boy trying to get inside my shirt with me.

"Talofa, my palangi, I'm home." ( giggle)

"Yes my love and soon we'll be in our proper home if Collin is as good as I
know him to be."

Authors Note:

Some of you people have asked a few questions so I will endevour to answer
then here for you.

Yes the setting is in New Zealand in the city of Auckland.

The island language is culturally correct and is in common use here.

The island boys who have no family here are usually deported back to their
island if there is no support for them here.

No it is not uncommon for a young man to have an afilliation with a
european man.

No the young men brought up to be fafafini (transestites) are not the same
as Sioni.

Thank you again to all who have shown an interest in Sioni's life and my
humble attempts to depict it in this story.
