Subject: Josh's Journey pt 7 - More Pieces

	Crystal and I returned to our apartment after leaving Kel at home
Sunday night. It was strange to be back there. Crystal moped about and I
admit I wasn't much more exciting to have around. Mitch wasn't home. He'd
told me that he would be working the closing shift all that week, so he'd
be home sometime around midnight.

	Kel called me about 10 minutes after we got there and we talked for
an hour. He finally told me he was going to hang up because I needed to get
to bed so I had better say good night fast! I laughed and told him good
night.

	For the first time since growing to 6'2", a queen sized bed felt
huge and empty. I slept curled in a corner with Crystal's head on my
hip. We were both missing our guys. I awoke once in the night, confused by
the darkness and panicky because I couldn't find Kel. When I remembered I
was in my bed alone except for Crystal I rolled over and slowly went back
to sleep.

	Monday was an impossibly LONG day. Work seemed to stretch on
forever and the minute hand on my watch froze around 9 am and refused to
move! By lunch, I was crawling out of my skin. I had never in my life
missed anyone so much. I felt cut loose, adrift, as if I had nothing
holding me to the old familiar things anymore. Not even Sam's company
seemed to penetrate the fog I felt all around me.

	I was tempted to go to Kel's after work, but I knew he needed to
get that book finished and back to his editor. I didn't want to disrupt his
work and if I showed up there, I suspected not much work would get done!
And I worried I would look so pathetic that I couldn't even go a full day
without his company.  My apartment was in desperate need of a cleaning and
there was laundry to be done. That kept me busy the rest of the evening.
Mitch was already gone when I got home, so it was just Crystal and me. I
listened to the jazz station on the radio, feeling close to Kel, and
cleaned until I was ready to drop from exhaustion, then crawled into bed.

	Tuesday was a bit better. I had lunch with Xan. He quizzed me
intently on Kel. We talked about suicide and my feelings for Kel. He just
shook his head. He was one of those people who couldn't imagine being so
hurt that you'd want to end it all. But at the same time he was deeply
sympathetic.

	"Must be a VERY, VERY, bad hurt." he wrote on his notepad. I
nodded.

	I had to admit I wasn't sure what could ever drive me to the point
of suicide either. Unless it was the loss of Kel. That or the loss of my
brother Jem. Those were the two people I loved most in the world.

	"Car show, this weekend. You come? Bring Kel." He wrote around a
splash of ketchup. He wiped the ketchup off with his finger. Bringing his
finger to his mouth, he licked it off with just the tip of his tongue. A
wickedly erotic gesture and I was pleasantly semi-hard in appreciation.

	"Okay, sure. I'll ask him." I said watching his tongue. ""Will
Kaleb be there?"

	"No." he said with a grin and a shake of the head. "Be in Tacoma
doing some computer stuff," he wrote.

	Xan loved teasing me. He had told me that Kaleb was deeply, almost
pathologically terrified of AIDS. He had insisted that Xan have an HIV test
before he'd have sex with him.. even with a condom. When I had asked why,
Xan had explained that Kaleb had had a friend in college, who was gay, that
died of AIDS. It had deeply scarred the 21 year old Kaleb. Consequently Xan
was very off limits, but it didn't stop him from teasing me!

	When I opened the door of my apartment that evening, my phone was
ringing. I sprinted through the kitchen into the living room and grabbed
it.

	"Hello!" I said breathless.

	"Were you running, Josh?" Kel's voice flowed over me like a warm
bath.

	"I just got home." I dropped onto the couch. Crystal laid her head
in my lap, I scratched her absently.

	"Oh. I thought you'd be home by now. Sorry."

	I winced. "Kel, don't worry about it. I'm here now. What's up?"

	"I talked to Dr. Reicher this morning. She has a therapist lined up
and waiting for a call from you. And don`t worry about paying for it. I`ll
take care of that part! "

	"Oh." I said swallowing.

	"Josh? You all right?" Kel's voice sounded concerned.

	"Yes, just.. well you know." I laughed nervously.

	"Yeah, I think I do understand. You don't HAVE to go to him, you
know."

	"No Kel, I want to go. I need the help.. so I can be better... so I
don't hurt you again." My voice tapered off. "And cost wasn't something I
was worried about .. not yet anyway. Maybe my insurance through Knightman
will pick up some of it."

	"Thank you, Josh." Kel said softly. " And I think you are great the
way you are."

	There was an embarrassed silence for a minute. I scratched
Crystal's head.

	"Anyway.. Josh? You still there?"

	"Yes, of course."

	"Oh," relief flooded through the phone. "Anyway, Dr. Reicher says
this therapist is both a gay man and the victim of childhood abuse. He will
understand what you're saying and the perspective you are coming from. His
name is Dr. Alejhandro Guevarra. She says he is the best in the biz." I
could hear the grin in Kel's voice.

	"All right." I smiled at the phone. "A gay therapist would be a
good thing.. I think I'll feel better talking to him."

	"That's what Dr. Reicher said. Me? I've talked to EVERYONE by now."
He laughed, a bright trill that made my cock throb. "Though I haven't met
Dr. Guevarra."

	Kel gave me the doctor's number and spelled the name for me. I
wrote it on the notepad I had left on the couch last night.

	"When should I call him? Do you think they'd still be there now?" I
asked.

	"I don't know. You could try. Most likely he has an answering
service you can leave a message with."

	"Okay, I'll do that. In a minute, I want to talk to you first.."

	"Oh Josh! I have missed you so much! Two days.. I am so pathetic."
He laughed. "So how was lunch?"

	We talked for awhile longer. I told him about lunch and about
work. He told me Tova was missing Crystal. I laughed and said she was
missing him as well. We talked, just the silly little things that lovers
say to each other. Quiet, teasing things that mean something only to them.

	 I rubbed my hard cock through my jeans. It was throbbing. My voice
got husky from emotion. Kel heard it and responded in kind. I slid down til
I was lying on the couch and unbuttoned my jeans. My cock was hard and
dripping already when I pulled it out and started stroking it. The memory
of Kel's mouth on it and Kel's voice in my ear was all it took. Pretty soon
I was bucking and shooting hot cream all over my chest. Kel cried out over
the phone and I knew he too had shot a load.

	By the time we got off the phone it was after 7. I was pretty sure
that Dr. Guevarra wasn't going to be in his office still. I stripped out of
my clothes and went into the bathroom. I studied my face in the mirror. My
summer tan was fading but I was still a warm coppery shade of brown. Black
eyebrows over deep green eyes, high cheekbones, a prominent nose with just
a hint of a bulge on the bridge. I ran my tongue lightly over my lips,
wishing Kel was here to kiss them. I didn't understand how Kel could call
me beautiful.. I was just me.

	I ran the water in the shower to try to warm it up. Then climbed in
closing my eyes and feeling the water slide down over my shoulders, across
my stomach and down my legs. I imagined it was Kel's hands on me. My cock
stood straight up in anticipation. I shivered and stroked my cock. I could
hear Kel's voice and feel his hands on me. Somehow, I smelled coffee and
salsa and the musky smell of a male.

	"Oh, Kel." I murmured.

	My orgasm, when it came, was explosive, rocking me back against the
shower wall and nearly knocking me to my knees. I steadied myself with a
hand against the shower wall. Water beat down on my back and shoulders. I
shook my head. Finishing my shower quickly, I dried off and wrapping the
towel around my waist went to the kitchen to find something to eat. I
missed Kel more than I had wanted to admit. I missed Tova and Crystal
underfoot. I missed the quiet times together just cuddling and the
laughter. I was most definitely in love.

	I carried Dr. Guevarra's number to work with me the next day. On my
2 o'clock break I called him from a nearby convenience store pay phone. The
phone rang a couple times and was answered by a deep male voice.

	"Alejhandro here," he said.

	"Oh! I .. ummm.. I guess I need to talk to someone about making an
appointment." I stumbled over my words. Was this the doctor answering his
own phone?

	"You guess? You don't know?" he said chuckling.

	"Well to be honest, I expected a receptionist to answer . You ARE
Dr. Guevarra, aren't you?"

	"Yep, that's what my driver's license says. My receptionist had to
leave early, her son took a dive on the playground and there's talk of
stitches."

	"Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that." I didn't know what else to say.

	"It happens with kids." There was a pause. "Now I am sure you
didn't get a hold of my number just to talk about my receptionist's son."
He chuckled again. "Let's start with your name."

	"Josh Sanclere. I was told that you would talk to me about my
boyfriend."

	"Depends on how well I know the guy. Oh, wait!  Sanclere, you said?
Hang on a sec." There was the sounds of papers being moved. He came back on
a moment later. "Lee Reicher called me and asked if I'd be willing to take
on the boyfriend of one of her patients. Yes, here's the note. I was going
to have Trina call you today, but then the thing with her son came up. I'm
glad YOU called me."

	"Yes, that's me. Thank you." I shifted nervously from foot to foot
trying to get comfortable. My right one was hurting a bit.

	"Lee says you have just started dating one of her patients who was
abused as a child and you need some help dealing with it? Am I correct
here?" His voice was softer now. Not the brusque voice that answered the
phone or the joking tone that had bantered with me while I tried to explain
why I was calling. The firm voice had me picturing a big bear like man.

	"Yes, he is scarred.. literally. It makes me hurt so much. And
there are other things as well."

	"Hmm, yes scars. Well, hang on let me go check Trina's book. I am
notorious for hanging up on people when trying to transfer the phone, so do
call back."

	"All right." The phone clicked but didn't go dead. In a moment I
heard music and a few moments after that another click.

	"Still there?"

	"Yes, doctor."

	"Great! Maybe I'll get the hang of programming my VCR as well." He
laughed and I laughed as well. "All right, looks like I could get you in
Friday afternoon. I am guessing you work."

	"Yes, I do construction."

	"Ouch, I did a bit of that in my undergrad days. I remember those
sore muscles. Okay how does 4:30 sound? Or do you need it later?"

	"I'm sure I could get off in time to be there by 5 if that's okay."
I replied. Fridays Mike usually sent us home early anyway.

	"All right 5 it is. I'll expect to see you then. Oh and don't worry
about work clothes, I'm only interested in your mind."

	I snickered. " All right, I'll be there."

	Dr. Guevarra gave me his address and I hung up feeling oddly
excited and almost equally terrified. This was it. I was committed to my
relationship with Kel now, for better or worse? I shivered and started to
walk back to the construction site. What would I say to Dr. Guevarra? What
did he want me to say?

	Kel's silver Cougar was in my driveway when I got home that
evening. I'm not certain that the 'Stang had even come to a complete stop
before I was out of it and headed around the house. He wasn't in his car or
on the porch, so he must have got there before Mitch left. I burst through
the door and down the short hallway into the kitchen. Kel was sitting at
the table drinking a glass of milk and reading a book propped up on a
flashlight. He looked up with a smile when I came in. However, before I
could get more than two steps into the kitchen, I was mobbed by Crystal and
Tova. I hugged them and scratched their backs and ears as I worked my way
the couple more feet to where Kel sat.

	Kel stood up and wrapped his arms around my neck. I pulled him to
me so hard I heard him give an "oof" sound as the air was knocked out of
him. I murmured a soft sorry into his hair between showering him with
kisses.

	"If I had known you'd so enthusiastic to see me, I'd have sent you
home more often," he said with a grin when I finally stopped kissing him.

	I snorted and he grinned again. He reached up and pulled my head
down into the most heart pounding kiss I had ever felt. I was hard as a
rock and my body was on fire.

	"God, I have been so lost without you underfoot, Josh." He grinned,
his fingers stroking my cheek.

	"Me too. Lost, I mean," I laughed. "Have you been here long?"

	"No, about an hour, I think. Mitch took pity on the interior of my
car, having to cope with a lovesick wolf so near and yet so far from the
object of his affection." His grin was pure mischief. "I thought about
being naked in your bed when you got here, but I didn't want you to think
me a slut."

	I laughed at the angelic look on his face. His eyes were glittering
with mischief.

	"Race you to the bed," I murmured.

	Kel laughed and ducked under my arm. I whirled around to grab him
but he slithered out of my grasp. I winced as a shock of pain shot up my
ankle. Kel made it into the bedroom and on the bed only seconds before
me. And right on my heels was Crystal and Tova. It took several minutes to
get them calmed down and out of the bed.

	When I finally got the canines out of the bed and settled down I
was more than ready to get "down to business" with Kel. I slid out of my
dirty work clothes and stretched. Kel gave a soft moan of approval. I ran
my hand down my smooth chest to my pubic hair. Kel moaned again louder. He
was kneeling in the middle of my bed, his hands resting on his knees, his
eyes firmly on me. I fisted my cock slowly shivering in pleasure. Kel
moaned again.

	"He's missed you," I said softly.

	"I've missed him too," Kel answered. "Missed both of you so damned
much."

	I dropped onto my knees on the bed and crawled over to Kel. He
wrapped his arms around my neck and I wrapped mine around his
waist. Straightening up I pulled him up against me. Kel whimpered softly
and pressed up against my chest. My hands stroked his back, slowly working
his t-shirt up over his head. I wanted to just throw him down and bury my
cock inside him, but I wouldn't: there was too much violence in his past
for me to give in to that desire. I would be slow and easy and gently love
him.

	I ran my fingers lightly down then up his back. Kel shivered and
sighed in pleasure. Goosebumps erupted in the path of my fingers.  I gently
peeled Kel's arms from around my neck. He looked puzzled and opened his
mouth to speak. I shook my head gently.

	"Relax," I said softly. "Let me do the work here."

	Kel leaned back against the wall, a lazy, sexy smile on his lips. I
unbuttoned his jeans and pulled them off of him. His cock was hard and
pushing at his shorts. There was a wet spot on the shorts already. I
smiled, leaned forward and kissed him. He grabbed my head burying his
fingers in my hair. I slipped my hands between the wall and his back and
pulled him down onto the bed. He looked surprised and let go of my
head. Gently I rolled him onto his stomach.

	Lightly I started to stroke his back. My hands, while they were
big, looked huge against Kel's back. Gently I massaged the muscles, rubbing
firmly kneading deeply. Kel sighed in pleasure. One hand crept up and
tucked itself under his cheek. Dark curly hair lay across his cheek and
temple. I leaned over and kissed his temple. He smiled and breathed my
name. His eyes closed slowly.

	"Hey!" I said. "Don't fall asleep."

	"Not a chance." Kel grinned his eyes still shut. "I want you to
badly to sleep!"

	I chuckled and rolled him over on his back slipping his shorts off
of him. His cock was drooling like a broken water pipe. I leaned over and
swallowed it. Kel shuddered and slammed his hips into my face. He groaned
and cried out my name. His fingers twisted in my hair as I slid up and down
his smooth shaft. Twisting my body but never letting go of his cock, I
managed to maneuver myself between his legs. I pushed his legs up and
attacked his cock with a vengeance! Kel moaned and thrashed under me. He
pulled my hair a couple times as he pushed my head down harder and
harder. His hips bucked harder and harder, slamming into my nose so hard I
expected to see blood. Kel's body arched and stiffened as the orgasm shot
out of him. He twisted stiffly, his hands clenching the sheet.  Suddenly he
dropped onto the bed, panting and crying soft little noises.

	I let his cock slide out of my mouth and laid my head on his
thigh. The skin on the inside of his thighs was smooth with hardly any hair
on them. A creamy unbroken white also unmarred by scars or any other
blemishes. I stroked the right thigh lightly. He shivered. His body was
just one large erogenous zone. I was ecstatic.

	"Josh," he murmured softly.

	I slid partway off the bed and located the tube of lube under the
edge of the bed. Crawling back up, I leaned down and kissed Kel. He wrapped
his arms and legs around me tightly. I shivered as excitement raced through
my body. My cock was aching, throbbing, begging for release. I wedged my
hands under Kel's butt and pulled him up as I sat up. He let out a squeak
of surprise and tightened his arms around my neck.

	"I won't drop you, I said softly. Long strands of black hair that
had escaped the ponytail, hung in my face. Kel smoothed them back and
tucked them behind my ears.

	"I know," he answered. "Just surprised me is all. I don't react
well to surprises, you know."
	I nodded. "I know, but you can trust me. You'll like my surprises."
I grinned at him and he grinned back.

	With one hand supporting Kel, the other hunted up the dropped
lube. I found it and awkwardly popped open the top. Thank God for flip
tops! I leaned backwards to support Kel better. He started to put his feet
down on the bed.

	"No." I said tightening my grip on his waist. "Stay where you are."

	He wrapped his legs tighter around my waist and pulled upward
resting heavily on my shoulders. I liberally drenched the head of my cock
in lube. I put the tube off to the side where it might not get knelt on,
rolled on or otherwise forced to give up its contents all over the bed
sheets. With my hands firmly on Kel's butt, I maneuvered my cock up against
his hole. Kel sighed as it rubbed along his crack.

	"Ready?" I asked.

	Oh yeah." He answered breathlessly.

	One good push down and he was impaled on my shaft. Kel cried out in
pleasure. His head fell backwards and his arms relaxed their stranglehold
on my neck. I both supported him and lifted him up almost all the way off
my cock. I let go and he slid down with a moan of pleasure.

	"Yes," he hissed softly. "Oh yes.. oh Josh."

	Having him in my arms and impaled on me was driving me crazy! I
bounced him a couple more times feeling the friction of his body against my
belly and his butt sliding up and down my cock. I dropped forward onto the
bed. Kel grunted. He grabbed onto my biceps and tightened his legs around
my waist. His butt muscles tightened their grip on my cock. I groaned and
started moving. In and out, softly: firm even strokes that drove both of us
wild.

	Faster and harder I drove into Kel. His cock hardened from the
friction of my belly.  Deeper and deeper. He cried out and clutched
frantically at my arms and shoulders. This was heaven, buried deep in
Kel. Feeling heat and friction and listening to him cry my name. I reached
down and hooked my arms around his knees pulling them up. Kel's cries
raised in pitch as I pounded new spots in his tunnel. I kissed him. His
mouth devoured mine. His hands pulled my head closer. He twisted his head
to get deeper into my mouth.

	I could feel my orgasm building. My speed increased until it was
almost impossible to tell where on stroke ended and the other began. I let
go of his legs and straightened my arms, breaking off the kiss. I planted
my hands firmly on the bed on either side of Kel's head.  Kel's body arched
and thrashed under me. I pounded him harder and harder. His fingers dug
into my shoulders; I was sure I'd have scratches in the morning.

	When the orgasm came, my whole body jerked, slamming into Kel hard
enough to force an "oof" out of him.  I reared up pulling his hips against
me. He clutched my forearms. My head fell backwards as I jerked deep with
every shot. Far away I could hear Kel repeating my name over and over. I
dropped forward onto him remembering at the last moment to support my
weight. My head drooped onto his shoulder. Kel stroked my hair.

	When I raised my head Kel's fingers were still in my hair.  He
pulled my head forward and worked the elastic out of my hair. Thick black
hair tumbled down around my face and over my shoulders. Kel ran his fingers
through my hair combing it out. I sighed, twisting my head in
enjoyment. Pleasure rippled down my back like waves in a pond. He tucked
the hair behind my ears. I turned my head and kissed his wrist. He
shivered, his breath hissing between his teeth.

 	"Josh, " he said softly. "I have so missed you. I have wanted you
so bad. I want to wake up with you, I want to go to sleep with you." His
eyes shimmered at me and I felt like I was falling into them once again.

	I sat up abruptly, my heart pounding and looked at him, studying
him closely. Could it be? Was he really saying what I thought he was? Could
he possibly be thinking of a committed relationship? Just the two of us?
Kel looked at me his face reflecting anxiety.

	"What?" He said. "What did I say?"

	He scrambled to a sitting position and wrapped his arms
protectively around his knees. I watched his face shut down as he hid
himself in the protective screens he had developed over his lifetime. I had
seen so many expressions on his face: love, sadness, fear but this was an
absence of expression that chilled me to the bone.

	"Kel, you are my love, my life." I said softly. "I have been so
crazy without you the last couple days. You just said the very things I
have been wanting so bad for so many years."

	His face lit up again and he launched himself at me. The impact
knocked me over flat on my back, my head barely missing being cracked on
the wall. I grunted. Kel's face was inches from mine. His eyes shining and
his smile ear to ear. I wrapped my arms around him.

	"Kel, oh God Kel. I'd marry you if I could." I kissed him deeply.

	Kel broke off the kiss this time. "Josh?" he said slowly. "Josh, do
you really mean that? Because I've been thinking and wondering and well
dreaming that maybe just maybe we could be .. you know a couple." He looked
away.

	I rolled sideways, tucking him into the curve of my arm.

	"Kel, I told you I am not going anywhere and that means I am NOT
screwing anyone else either. I want a relationship, I want someone that is
there for me. I want to lavish all my love on just one person, one special
person: YOU!"

	Tears sprang up in Kel's eyes. I leaned down and kissed them
away. His arms tightened around my neck.

	"Thank you, Josh." He said softly his voice trembling. He let go of
my neck and turned so that we were nose to nose. "I have always been a one
person man, whether that person was a man or a woman. Maybe its the crap
done to me as a child that makes me attach to one person. I thought I was
reading you as someone who wanted a monogamous relationship, but I decided
I better ask. It's better than assuming."

	I brushed his hair back from his face. My fingers lightly traced
the contours of his face, his jaw and down his neck. I kissed him softly.

	"Kel, I'll buy you a ring. Soon as I have the money. Hell, I'll buy
you a DOZEN rings, but I am yours and only yours."

	Kel wrapped his arm around my neck and sobbed into my shoulder. I
held him and rubbed his back and shoulders. Oh my Kel, my sweet, sweet hurt
Kel. Slowly he relaxed and stopped crying. He lay limply against me worn
out by emotion and tears.  I tucked a pillow under his head and rolled him
onto his stomach. His back looked so fragile, the ribs showing and the
interconnected lines of scar tissue.  Again I tucked a pillow under his
head, again I massaged his shoulders. His skin felt tissue thin: wrapped
over hard bone. I swallowed the anger and hugged the pain to myself as I
worked the muscles in his back and neck and shoulders. Slowly his eyes
closed. This time I let him go to sleep.  Dark curly head on my pillow.

	I slid backwards out of bed. Kel murmured softly but didn't wake
up. A pair of jeans were lying on the top of the hamper in the kitchen. I
grabbed them as I walked past towards the bathroom.

 	I was sitting cross legged on the couch writing Jem when Kel
appeared in the doorway about an hour later. Our living room runs
lengthwise between the front bedroom and kitchen somewhat like the upright
in a capital `I'. The couch was against the far wall facing the window. Kel
leaned against the doorframe. His hair was mussed and his face looked puffy
from sleep. He had put on his jeans but not his shirt. He studied the floor
like he'd never seen one before.

	"Hi there," he said.

	"Good evening, sleepyhead," I said.

	"I fell asleep. Sorry." He looked embarrassed and a little
scared. I leaned forward and stretched out my hand to him. He placed his
hand in mine. I twisted the ring on his thumb absently.

	"Looks like you needed sleep. It`s okay." I said softly, pulling
him towards me. He nodded.

	"I haven't slept well the last couple nights." He paused
thinking. "I'm not sure if it was because I missed you or maybe I am
catching something or what. Probably stress about this silly book."

	"Kel."

	"Well, its finished. I brought it into my editor this
afternoon. That's why we were in town." He smiled shyly. "That and to see
you."

	I pulled him over to the couch and wrapped my arms around his
waist.

	"I am so glad you did." I kissed him on the belly. My tongue teased
his navel. He giggled and then moaned. His hands clutched at my head. I
tilted my head just enough to see up to his face. His head was tipped
backwards and his eyes were closed. He had that sexy smile from earlier on
his lips.

	I ran my hands up his back and across his shoulders feeling tiny
goosebumps pop up under my fingertips. I pulled him closer and teased his
navel some more, licking, sucking, twisting my tongue deep inside. I laid
my head against his belly and panted: my breath brushing across the
skin. He sighed softly. Kel combed his fingers through my hair.

	"Josh, I have been happier in this last two weeks than I have been
in.. OH! I don't have any idea.. maybe ever. Thank you."

	My arms tightened around his waist. Kel ran his fingers through my
hair from crown to ears. He pulled my head back and turned it up toward his
face. The angle looking up made his chest seem longer and thinner than
ever. He was smiling softly.

	"I love you, Josh." he mouthed.

	I surged straight to my feet and wrapped my arms around his
shoulders. Crushing him to me, I blindly found his lips. Kel pulled my head
close in a soul shattering kiss. I wanted him so bad now. I wanted to show
him in every way I knew, how much he meant to me.

	Somehow we made it to the bed again. I pushed him down on it, my
mouth devouring his wildly. Kel squirmed under me. His back arched up to
meet my chest. I pushed him up on the bed never breaking the kiss. Kel's
hands pulled at the buttons on my jeans popping them open in one smooth
pull. Together we undressed each other. I wrapped myself around Kel. I was
his shield, his screen, I loved him. And I didn't care about what was
allowed or not. I was going to buy him a ring and put it on his finger and
the hell with anyone else's opinion! This was MY man, MY Kel, for now and
forever...
