The Boy at the Park Chapter 7


	I woke up way later than I had wanted to. It was 10am and I only
had 2 hours till I had to be at work. I was hoping to get up early enough
to go out and go shopping but now that was clearly not an option. I
prepared and ate breakfast and then took a shower, getting ready for the 7
hour day I had ahead of me ringing up items for the whole day. All I ever
did was stand around for hours, occasionally helping someone out, or
ringing up a purchase, other than that I stood in one area, swept, or just
walked around making sure everything was in its place or facing forward on
the shelf.

	I arrived at work 10 minutes early as I do every day so I have some
time to listen to some music or go to the bathroom before my shift
started. Most the day had gone by normal, the random people only looking,
never buying. I was in the back corner of the store, straightening out some
pots and pans someone had just thrown back on the shelf when I heard the
bell on top of the door ring signaling someone entering the store. As I was
rounding the corner I already started saying the usual line I always say,
"Hello, welcome to Kitchen world if there's..." I looked up and say Zack
standing with a man who must have been his father, my heart dropped 10ft, I
thought this was it, Zack's dad found out and was now here to kill me. I
looked at Zack who looked just as surprised to see me as I was to see him,
so hoping that his dad hadn't found out I played dumb like I'd never seen
them before and continued my scripted greeting. "*cough* *cough* sorry
about that, welcome, and if there's anything I can help you with please
ask". "Ya hi my idiot kid here broke our toaster this morning somehow"
Zack's dad said seriously. I wanted to jump over everything in my way and
tackle this guy but knew that would not in the slightest be a good idea so
I just said "toasters are over in the far left isle all the way in the
back". Zack's dad took off straight for that area and Zack stayed
behind. "I didn't know you worked here" Zack whispered. "Ha-ha ya this is
where I work, everything ok" I asked in a whisper as well, "I guess" Zack
replied. "I'm sorry man, tell ya what I'm not working tomorrow so you can
come over then ok" I said. "Ok" Zack said, forcing a smile, he was clearly
upset he had broken the toaster and that his dad had made a huge scene out
of it still. Zack's dad had come around the corner right after we finished
talking, put the toaster on the register and said "you're paying for this
one boy with that birthday money your friends got you". What an ass, I
thought to myself. I looked at the price and the toaster was 39.99, clearly
he got one that amount just to make Zack spend all his money, the anger I
was feeling for this man was rising every second, no wonder Zack wanted to
be away from home so often. Zack handed me the $40 I had given him for his
birthday, unknown to his dad, and left shortly after, getting dragged by
the arm by his dad. "You better hope you don't break this one boy" was the
last of what I heard from his dad, he had said more but I didn't catch
it. I had never been so angry at someone I just met and only known for 2
minutes in my life. I told myself that this weekend I would let Zack pick
out what he wanted to do and promised myself I would take him anywhere he
wanted to go. The next couple of hours went by slowly, no one came in and
all I kept thinking about was wanting to hit Zack's dad in the face over
and over again. "Hey Ben, can you throw up the "be right back" sign, I want
to talk to you for a second in my office" the manager said, his name was
Jason. Jason was a pretty cool guy, he was in his mid 30's, and ya there
was one point I was attracted to him, but that only lasted my first hour
here. I got to his office and sat down. "As you know my assistant
supervisor, Kelly, is going to be managing another one of our stores two
towns over" Jason said. Actually I didn't know that. "And I've been trying
to find someone to replace her, and well I believe that you are the best
candidate I have, you always show up early, you've been here long enough,
you're a great worker and even better with customers . So with that being
said, I would like to offer you the assistant supervisor position, it comes
with a $5 pay bump, full health and dental. So how about it" Jason
asked. Whoa, this was a big deal, but instantly I had questions. "that
sounds great but just a few questions, what would the hours be, can I
choose the morning shift and is this a full time job" I asked. " Well the
hours would be 8-10 hours a day, and yes the morning shift would be yours
since I take the afternoon and night shift, and yes it would be from Monday
through Friday, and occasionally on Saturday if we're expected to be busy"
Jason said. This was awesome, I could work the morning shift, and still
have time after work to hang out with Zack, plus I would be making so much
more money and would be able to take Zack to a lot more places more
often. "Jason, I'll take it" I said. "Great choice Ben, you won't regret
this I assure you that, now, tomorrow I know you have off but would you be
willing to come in to start your training" Jason asked. Crap, I had just
told Zack I would hang out with him tomorrow, I didn't want to break that
promise but I didn't want to say no so I said "unless it's in the morning I
can't, I promised my little brother I would hang out with him all day after
school, I hope that's alright" I said "that's not a problem at all, I had
no idea you had a younger brother, I'm glad to know you value family as
well, that makes me even more confident in you, tell you what how's
Thursday sound to you, I can't on Friday as I have my sons field trip to
attend to" Jason said. "Thursday's perfect" I replied. "Ok then Thursday at
let's say 1pm, now before people get made lets go take that sign down and
open back up" Jason said and walked out the door with me. The rest of the
day went by again as normal, we had a little rush about 30 minutes before
my shift ended but that was it. Finally it was time to go home, I rushed to
my car and sped off. As soon as I got home I texted Zack "hai u free 2 txt
right now". "gimme 5 mins" Zack replied. About 10 minutes later Zack texts
me back "sorry bout that, was eating dinner n couldn't leave", "that's
fine" I replied. "But hai guess wat, I have some kool news, I got a
promotion" I texted. "WHOA! Awsome gratz Ben :D" Zack texted back "Can I
still come ovr tomorrow ?" Zack asked "Oh course bro, and wensday too if ya
want" I replied. "Woot, awsome cant wait :D, I gtg to bed now, ill ttyl,
love ya :)" Zack said, "kk, ttyl, love you more Zack :D" I replied.


	Tuesday and Wednesday spent with Zack was normal, we played video
games, watched movies, hugged and gave each other a quick soft kiss on the
lips. I told him when before he left Wednesday "this weekend, whatever, and
I mean WHATEVER you want to do, we can do. If you want to go to castles and
coasters again, sure, bowling, sure, anything man, so give it some thought
and let me know when you come over on Friday" I said with a smile. Zack
beamed, "will do" Zack said with a salute and a straight face he couldn't
hold for more than 2 seconds before laughing.

	Work went differently this time, I was being trained as an
assistant supervisor, my day went by so much faster. Friday was the same
way, and I was able to leave work early, by the time I got home it was only
12 in the afternoon, so I decided to go shopping like I wanted to on
Monday. I went to Wal-Mart and just walked around, I got some glasses,
plates and new silverware and then I walked into the bedding section. I
decided to pick up some silk sheets and pillow cases, I've always wanted
some but never took the time to buy them, so I figured since I was here I
might as well, they will be nice, I love the feel of new bed sheets and I
love the feeling of silk so I couldn't wait to put these on my bed.

	I got home a little later than I had hoped and saw Zack sitting in
front of my door waiting sitting straight up looking around, possibly for
my car. Zack seemed to wearing really nice clothes, he was wearing a purple
and blue plaid shirt with a nice solid black shirt underneath, with a pair
of nice not faded blue jeans, his hair had some product in it making it
look like the bed head style and was wearing the necklace I gave him. He
looked stunning. When he spotted me he jumped right up and ran to my
car. "Hey Ben, how's it going, just get off work" Zack asked "Hey Zack,
it's going good, how about you, and no I just got back from Wal-Mart, was
picking up some random stuff along with some essentials" I replied. "You
weren't waiting here long were you" I asked. "Just like 5 minutes is all"
Zack said. "Ok good, so have you decided what you wanted to do this
weekend" I asked. "Yup, I have" Zack said with a smile. I hoped he wouldn't
say he wanted to do it, not because I didn't but because I didn't want to
say no especially since I said we would do whatever he want to do. We got
inside and I asked "and what is it you want to do". Zack looked up at me,
smiled and said "can you take me out on a date" Zack asked sheepishly. "Of
course I can, where would you like to go" I asked, " well I was hoping you
could choose a nice place, not a play place, you know, like where grownups
go for dates" Zack said. "Ok, I might know a place, its French, would you
be ok with that, and then I'll take you to a movie after words", "sounds
awesome, thank you Ben!" Zack said as he jumped into my arms and gave me a
big wet kiss on the lips. "I was wondering why you were dressed so
handsomely when I drove up, I guess I know why now, ha-ha" I said and Zack
blushed a little. "ok well I have to get ready, I'll make reservations for
us, would you like to see a movie before or after dinner" I asked "if we
can, can we see one before dinner" Zack replied. "Of course" why don't you
jump on my computer and check the movie times", "ok" Zack replied. I went
to my room, found a nice over shirt like Zack had, this one however was
Black with very dark and thin violet stripes going vertically across the
entire over shirt. I found my dark forest green shirt with a printed design
on the front in black on it and got my pair of black jeans that were not
faded as well, socks, a new pair of underwear and my sneakers. I took my
shower, dried off, shaved, and did my hair up a little bit, put on
deodorant and very nice smelling cologne, and got dressed. I walked out of
the bathroom and didn't see Zack in the kitchen, so I went to the spare
bedroom where I kept my computer, opened the door and saw Zack watching gay
porn. "I thought you were supposed to look up movie times" I said. And
without even turning around Zack said "Bad grandpa starts in 30 minutes". I
couldn't believe he was so casual about watching porn in front of me, I
walked up to him to turn off the computer half expecting to see him with
his hard on out but he was just staring at it like he was studying. "Ok
well that's enough porn for a few years" I said and turned off the screen,
"awe c'mon I liked watching that, that's the first time I've seen a gay
porn" Zack replied. "Well, ok, how about we head out and go see this movie
you want to see, what is it again rad grandma" I asked. Zack burst out
laughing "Ha-ha, no it's bad grandpa, it's the main guy from jackass
dressing up as the grandpa and messing with people, it looks really
funny". Well, he's already seen Jackass and Movie 43, how much worse can it
be if I take him to see a movie like this I have no idea about but know
will be bad. "Ok let's get going".


	The movie ended and me and Zack could not stop laughing, when we
were in the car driving to the French restaurant Zack kept mentioning how
the fish was named Moby Dick and had a penis on it. Either Zack found that
part hilarious, or he was just so horned up that he had to talk about the
penis fish to help him, either way it was cute as hell watching him go on
and on, smiling the whole time and laughing constantly. I couldn't help but
at that moment feel good. Just earlier this week he was miserable when he
was with his dad, and now he was out with me, laughing smiling and having a
blast. Time seemed to slow down as I watched Zack right there in the car
describing scenes and acting them out, smiling and laughing, in slow
motion, like I was in a movie. When he finally took a break from describing
his favorite parts of the movie I looked over at him and said "I'm the
luckiest man on earth right now", Zack looked a confused and asked "Why's
that". "Because I'm out on a date, with you, the cutest, coolest, smartest,
most awesome boy ever", Zack's eyes started turning red and a tear drop
fell down his left cheek, "you really think that" Zack asked. "Heck ya I
do" I said and grabbed his hand, brought the back side of it up to my face
and kissed it softly. "I feel the same way Ben, I love you so much" Zack
said as one more tear fell this time from the right cheek. We held hands
until we got to the restaurant. We got to our table and the waiter was
really nice to us, even made us laugh a little bit. I got us steak tar-tar
made from Colby beef, it was a raw patty with a carefully drizzled cracker
around it with a raw egg on top. "Eww, what is that" Zack asked "Ha-ha, its
steak tar-tar, I've had it once here before, it was amazing, and this one
is amazing too, oh my goodness, you have to try this" I said. "I don't
think I want to", Zack just looked at it funny, not saying anything. "If
you taste it, I will do something special for you later" I said trying to
bribe him. Zack perked up and asked "like what". Crap, Zack got a devilish
look on his face, I probably should have tried harder before trying to
bribe him. "how about, I will let you watch what you were watching earlier
on my computer". Zack took the fork from my hand, picked up a chunk of the
steak tar-tar, and ate it. His first reaction was to immediately dislike
it, but once he tasted it "holy crime in Italy, this is really
good". "Ha-ha I knew you would like it, you see you just need to gives
things a chance" I said. "OK, but don't forget your promise he-he" Zack
said with a toothy smile. "I won't forget Zack, you have my word"


	After dinner I Suggested we go to the park and walk off our meal,
Zack agreed, and we ended up walking around the park about 2 times before
we got tired, and sat down on the same swings we met each other on. "I'm
really happy I met you Ben, I hope they never take down this playground, it
means a lot to me now" Zack said as he swung lightly, smiling up at the
stars. "Me to Zack, me to" I said as I watched Zack swing, watching the
stars, looking like he wanted to be forever in this moment, he truly seemed
like he was happy when he was with me, but right now he seemed like he was
at peace, like nothing at all could phase him. I took out my cell phone,
and snuck a photo, well once the flash went off it wasn't so secret
anymore, but I had got it, I captured that moment, and now I would forever
have it. Zack didn't even bat an eye at the flash, he was like I thought,
just completely at peace right now. Even though this was a public park and
anyone could come walking up, I decided to get up, I still looked around
for anyone coming, went over to Zack leaned down and gave him a nice soft
kiss, he seemed to fall even further into a trance, we sat there for about
20 minutes when Zack finally broke away from the stars and said "I'm
getting cold, can we go home now" "of course, here take my over shirt, it's
not much but it will make you a bit warmer. Zack wrapped himself up in my
shirt and just looked even more adorable, I don't know how he does it, but
he could make a food stained shirt look fashionable.


	We got home and I could tell he was getting tired but I had to
offer since I promised him, and I wasn't going to break a promise to Zack,
ever. "So you still want to watch those videos on the computer Zack" I
asked. "Thanks for keeping your promise, but I'm getting sleepy, I think
bed sounds better right now" Zack said. "Ok well go get ready for bed,
brush those pearly whites of yours and if you want you can wear one of my
shirts to bed unless you want to wear your own clothes" I said. "Can I go
in just my underwear" Zack asked. "Of course, now go get ready I'll be in
once I get some stuff done out here". "Ok" Zack replied. 10 minutes later I
finished putting away all the clean dishes I had cleaned earlier, went to
the bathroom, brushed my teeth, stripped down to my boxers and went to the
bedroom. The light was on and Zack was sound asleep. I crept over slowly to
the bed, got in as slow as I could as to not wake him, got up to his side
and threw my arm over him and gave him a kiss on his left cheek right under
his eye. "I love you so much Zack, and I always will" I said. "I love you
Ben" Zack said and turned over on his side facing me put his arm between my
side and arm and his other arm around the underside of my neck with one of
his legs tossed over mine and his face buried in my neck, It took me awhile
to fall asleep only because I had wanted this moment to last forever. I
gave him one last kiss on his fore head, breathed in his scent, thank
goodness he washed out the product in his hair before he went to bed, and
we both slept like that in each other's arms the whole night.
