CHAPTER SIX

"You did what?" Patrick screamed into the phone.
Seb, who had so "generously" filled him in on all of the details of
everything he had said to Josh within the past twenty-four hours, had
telephoned him to gloat and to be the bastard that he was known all around
the world for.

"You arsehole!" Patrick mumbled. He slammed the phone down onto its base,
almost breaking the cheap imported plastic. He felt like strangling
something or someone...
He threw on last night's clothes and ran out of his apartment slamming the
door behind him. He sprinted down the flights of stairs into the building's
garage. He unlocked his car and jumped in.

He sped all the way to Josh's house. He ignored all of the other cars only
noticing red traffic lights. His head was full of thoughts, mostly of
himself saying things like, `Well you've really fucked it up this time..."

By the time he reached Josh's building he was in quite a frenzy. It was as
if someone had given him speed, he just couldn't sit still. Josh's building
had been designed to keep undesirables out.

Basically, you couldn't enter unless you had a key or you knew someone that
lived there. Patrick didn't know Josh's Apartment number and he knew he'd
never be able to get up there if he rang him.
He decided to sit on one of the park benches down at the bottom of the
building and wait. So he sat.
And waited.
And waited.
And sat.
Until like a bizarre twist of fate, he felt a cold drop of what was probably
water. He wiped I away with his right hand and looked up at the familiar
figure smoking from the balcony.

Patrick quickly counted the floors until he got number sixteen. He then
quickly ran to the security door as a little old lady walked out and opened
the door. She looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back.
"What a nice young lad... " She muttered as she walked past him. He smiled at
the comment.

He ran to the elevator and hit the floor 16 button. He arrived a minute
later, with each second that passed his heart beat faster and faster. When
the red doors finally opened, a huge wave of familiarity swept over him. It
was eerie, almost as if he'd been there before. He slowly walked down the
corridor until he reached apartment number 527.
He knocked on the door and waited.

A pale figure answered.

"Josh, I can explain." Patrick said, slightly startled by how pasty Josh
looked.

Josh stepped forward raising his arms in a defensive posture, but he then
proceeded to engulf Patrick in a large hug.

"Patrick, I'm so sorry." Josh sobbed into Patrick's chest.

"Josh, I didn't know that you knew Seb. I'm sorry." Patrick said.

"I shouldn't have left without telling you. I panicked and then Seb called.
Turns out you were the other man when I was dating Seb."

"It's alright." Patrick soothed.

"I can't believe you were the other man."

" Apparently. Isn't it weird! He told me he was single, Joshie, I would
never want to hurt you like that..." Patrick answered

Patrick then said, "I think we should lie down, you look kind of beat."

"OK" Josh said drowsily.

Patrick practically carried Josh to his room. He pulled off Josh's clothes
and pulled the quilt up over Josh. He then pulled off all of his clothes
except his boxers and climbed into bed with Josh.

They lay there embracing and basking in the warmth of each other's company.
They didn't speak or sleep they just cuddled.

At about 3:00, the phone rang. Patrick leapt out of bed and pulled the
socket out of the wall.

"Great minds think alike." Josh stated drowsily with a smirk. Patrick
climbed back into bed with Josh and resumed their previous hugging position
under the quilt.

They spent the rest of the weekend in bed, getting up to go to the bathroom
and to bring food to the bed.

It was Sunday morning before either of them spoke at length.

"Would you like to come and meet my evil family at Christmas?" Josh asked
timidly

"You wanna meet mine?" Patrick asked with a smirk.

"I will if you will." Josh said seriously.

Patrick kissed Josh. It was at first a playful one on the mouth. Josh pulled
away and pulled down Patrick's boxer shorts. Josh pulled Patrick on top of
him and lifted his legs onto Patrick's strong shoulders.

"Before we...you know, I feel as though I should warn you about my family."
Josh stated sadly.

"Yes?" Patrick asked huskily

Josh laughed, "They're mean."

"How mean?" Patrick asked.

"Very. Now, back to us." Josh smirked.

Patrick pushed himself lightly into Josh. Josh moaned in delight. Patrick's
cock fitted Josh perfectly.
Patrick started to pick up the pace, thrusting faster and faster inside
Josh. Patrick leaned over and kissed Josh, pushing his tongue inside Josh's
mouth.
Josh was moaning and groaning, tossing himself as Patrick got faster and
faster.

"I...love...you." Patrick said between grunts as he came litres and litres into
Josh.

Josh then succumbed to his own pleasure, shooting all over the place causing
Patrick to come twice more. Patrick collapsed onto Josh, kissing and hugging
him tightly.

"I love you Ricky." Josh said dreamily.

"Stay inside me." Josh added.

"Sure babe." Patrick said with a smile. He continued to hug Josh tightly
until they drifted off to sleep.

It was hazy when Josh opened his eyes. He was standing in a big open area
that was very unfamiliar. He looked down over himself; he was wearing a blue
polo shirt and jeans. There was a gold ring on the third finger of his left
hand.

Two small boys, toddlers one blonde and the other brunette looked up at him.
They were about the same age probably twins. They were smiling up at him,
both wearing matching little overalls with different coloured shirts. Josh
then heard a familiar voice say,

"Alexi, James, where are you two?" It was Patrick.

Patrick ran up to Josh and kissed him on the cheek.

"Glad you're back babe, the boys really missed you." Patrick said as the
boys hugged Josh around his ankles.

"Daddy, where's our new little sister?" The blonde one asked. Josh turned
around as he felt himself get heavier. He pulled off his backpack to see a
baby sleeping in it. She was wearing a little pink jumpsuit.

Patrick smiled at him; "We were beginning to get worried..."

Josh woke up with a start. The sheets were wet around him.

Patrick woke up and said, "Babe you alright?"

Josh smiled, "I'm fine.

Constructive Criticism is most welcome. Flames will be ignored :)

To all of you who have been so patiently awaiting the sixth chapter, I
deeply apologise. I feel guilty about leaving the story hanging for so long.
After five was posted, events occured that basically made me lose it. But,
no I'm back on top :) and will hopefully continue writing

Thankyou to all of the people who send messages of encouragement. They
helped. This time last week I was not interested in updating the story, but
as soooo much has happened within the last week, I empathised with those
readers who had been left dangling on other stories.

Thankyou very much for everything, Chapter Seven should be posted soon, if
all goes well.
My e-mail address is as always, raen_j@hotmail.com
Thanks,

J.
