This story will most likely contain some provocative contents about a
loving and later on sexual relationship between a young boy and a man.  If
you find those things offensive, then don't read them...  But I don't think
you do, cause you wouldn't have bothered checking out nifty's adult-youth

Chapter 7: Lucky Friday 13th (1)

The next few days before that special Friday passed rather quickly for
Martin. He drove back and forth to the office a couple of times to check up
on everything and get some things finished. Usually, he did most of those
things from home, but he just couldn't still during those days. Even his
employees noticed some difference in him. 'He must be in love,' was the
rumor. They were right about that, but luckily they didn't know whom he was
in love with.

The morning of that big day, Martin spent in the office, aswell, but after
lunch he went home to prepare is home for welcoming a boy in it. He cleaned
up a bit, put clean cheats on the big bed in the guest room, bought some
snacks and sodas and stuff like that... Martin did his best to make sure
Liam might want to come back after tonight.

At about 5 o'clock, Martin stepped into the shower to freshen up. Half an
hour later, he was in his car, wearing a clean shirt and jeans and a little
touch of deo. Not too much, cause he remembered from William that he didn't
really like those chemical smells. This was only a first date, so, it
couldn't do any harm.

About 10 minutes later than he'd set he'd be at Liam's place, he rang the
bell of the Parker residence at the entrance. He waited a while before
there was a click and Liam's voice sounded in the speaker. The boy sounded
very nervous when he answered the call:

"Hello?" Liam's quiverring voice chimed.

"Hey, there, Liam, it's Martin," Martin said. He hoped the boy wouldn't
make any fuss about being a bit late.

"Hi, Martin, come on it," was the child's joyful reply.

"Okay, kiddo, which floor?" Martin said.

"Oh, second. Our appartment's on the left," Liam informed Martin, as the
lock of the door clicked and a faint buzz sounded from the speaker.

Martin entered the building and climbed up the stairs to the second
floor. When he turned to the left, he saw Liam standing in the doorway,
smiling brightly. The boy'd done his best to look good. Not that he had to,
but the gel coated spikes, the clean blue buttoned shirt and black jeans
looked nice on him. The pair of jeans looked as tight as the ones he'd worn
when they first met.

"Hello, Martin," Liam greeted him when he saw Martin. "Or should I say
Mr. Gray?"

"Mr. Gray? Who's he?" Martin joked. "No, no, just call me Martin."

"Okay, Mr. Gray...  I mean Martin," Liam said with a cocky smile. "Come on
in."

Martin just smiled and followed Martin into the appartment. With the shirt
nicely tucked into his tight jeans, he had a pretty good view on the boy's
little butt. With William, and also the other boys he'd seen around, he'd
also liked the sight of those cute little buns swinging back and forth.

When he entered the appartment, he pretty much understood why the boy was
wearing his jeans so tight. It wasn't really his choice, but from the look
of the pretty old fashionned furniture and a tv that was about to become
extinct, he realised that Liam and his mum weren't very wealthy. Maybe
later, when he'd get the chance, he might finally be able to share his with
Liam. But he'd only do that if his mother agreed. Most people don't want to
be helped like that.

"Are you ready to go, Liam?" Martin asked.

"Yeah, almost. Just gotta get my stuff and my jacket," the boy said while
he walked out of the livingroom. He came back with, wearing a black and
purple coat and carrying a small back pack with probably his pyjamas in
it. "I'm ready, now," he said.

"Okay, buddy, let's go," Martin said. The boy followed Martin back outside
the appartment and closed the door, locking it with a key that hung on a
raffled cord. Martin noticed the cheap cord, but didn't say anything. "Did
you have dinner, yet?"

"No, why?" the boy said.

"You like pizza?"

"Yeah, I love pizza? Are you gonna order some, then?"

"Maybe, maybe not," Martin said, winking at the boy.

"Cool," Liam smiled.

The two walked down the stairs and out on the street. Martin turned right
to where his car was and Liam followed him. Not wanting the boy to walk
behind him, Martin turned back, smiled at him and reached out his hand, and
stated: "No friends of mine walk behind me, Liam.".

At first, Liam hesitated a bit, but saw the trustworthy look on the man's
face and grabbed the hand and they walked hand in hand to where Martin's
Mercedes was parked.

After a five minute walk...  Martin hadn't been able to find a spot closer
to where Liam lived... Martin took his car keys from out of his pocket and
push the button to disable the alarm. When Liam saw the big black sedan's
indicators blink, his chin practically dropped on the ground and his eyes
almost popped out out. "Is that yours?" he peeped.

"Yes, this is one of my babies," Martin said, trying hard not to burst out
in laughter as he saw Liam's surprised look. "Like it?"

"You bet!" Liam nodded.

Martin opened the back door and Liam slowly got in: "It's not gonna bite
you, you know," he tried to relax the boy.

Liam looked up smiling and sat back, joking: "You could almost live in
here."

Martin had to laugh at that and teased: "Indeed, you could. Where do you
think you're gonna spend the night, then?" The boy looked up in shock,
which made Martin laugh even louder... "Hush, hush, kiddo...  I'm
kidding. Now, let's go eat, I'm starving."

"Okido," Liam snickered goofily, now completely at ease.

Martin closed the door and got in behind the wheel. He looked into the
mirror to see Liam sitting behind him. Liam must have noticed and looked
right back in the mirror. Martin blinked his eye and then started the
engine.

About 30 minutes later, he parked his car near an Italian restaurant. Liam
didn't seem to know what was going on and asked: "Why are we stopping
here?"

"You said you liked pizza, didn't you?"

"Yes, but..."

"Well, then...  Let's go have some. You'll like it, this is an excellent
spot."

"Okay."

And so Martin took his new little friend to the restaurant. In there, they
were welcomed heartily by one of the waiters. The man seemed to know Martin
pretty well, as familiarly as they spoke with each other. Liam didn't say
anything, but he somehow felt he didn't really fit in, there.

The waiter took the two to a table at the back of the restaurant. There was
already a reservation sign on it, so Liam knew Martin had arranged this. He
really didn't feel all to well about this place and the way this
went. Martin could read of the little boy's face he was acting a bit
anxiously. He didn't really grasp why, at first, but then he knew that all
this'd overwhelmed the boy.

"You okay, Liam?" Martin worried. The boy just shrugged, but it was clear
to see he was having lots of second thoughts. Martin didn't want to let
Liam slip away that way. "You can tell me if something's wrong, kiddo."

"Promise you won't get mad?" the boy said, looking a bit afraid.

"I promise, don't worry. It takes a lot to get me angry at a boy like you,"
Martin comforted Liam.

Liam smiled slightly and said: "I don't really like it here. This place is
too...  too... rich...  for me."

"I overdid it, didn't I?" The boy nodded, still not totally at ease. "I
should have thought about that before we came here. We don't have to stay,
if you don't feel like it."

"You don't mind if we leave?"

"Of course not, buddy, as long as you still want to go to my place and
watch that movie."

"I do... but I still want pizza, too," Liam said.

"That can be arranged, Liam. We'll go home, now, and order us a big one,
when we get there, okay?"

Liam brightened up again, now. "Cool," he smiled. "I do want to know what
the ones they have here are like."

Martin smiled back at his little friend: "You will know soon enough. Let's
get to know each other a bit better first.

"Great!" Liam cheered.

And off they were, again. They went back to the car and drove all the way
to Martin's place.
