Chapter Six

Rick had been very quiet.  He turned to Jason with tears in his eyes and
asked if he could stay in Penascola for the night.  He wasn't ready to go
back just yet.  Jason reached out, put a hand on his shoulder, and told Rick
he can stay as long as he wants.

"I should tell you that I am staying at a friends place while I am in
Pensacola".  It is a nice place on the beach.  He is away and we have the
place to ourselves.  You can stay as long as you like".

They drove on I-10, to I-110 to the Bay Bridge, went through Gulf Breeze and
then the final bridge out to Pensacola Beach.  Coming down to the beach over
the top of the bridge always made Jason smile.  He loved this place.  He
missed it so much.

They arrived at a large condominium that was out towards Ft. Pickens.  It
was one of those high-rise buildings that had gone up in the last 5 years.
Jason parked the car in covered parking, they entered the lobby and went to
the elevators.  Jason push PH and up they went.

When the elevator opened they entered a small foyer.  Jason took out some
keys and opened the next door.  Rick gasped.

"This is some friend you have.  Look at this place!"  Polished teak floors
stretched to the wall of windows facing the gulf.  Indirect lighting created
a warm glow.  The kitchen was a vision of stainless and chrome.  On the
walls were framed posters in the art deco mode of the great transatlantic
liners.  Normandie, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, Rex, and others.

Jason took Rick and led him though the apartment.  It had 3 bedrooms each
with its own bath.  The master suite had a huge bathroom with a shower that
was almost as big as Rick's bedroom in Destin.  A balcony was off the master
bedroom.  Jason opened the doors and the warm sea breeze and the sounds of
the ocean filled the room.

"Must be nice to have rich friend" Rick commented.

"Yeah, it is.  Shame though, he doesn't get to enjoy this beautiful place as
much as he would like.  He is always on the go.  I think his life is screwed
up and out of balance but he keeps going".

Rick laughed, "well if this is what you get when you are screwed up than
hooray!"

"Want some dinner and a movie?" Jason asked Rick who was still standing with
his mouth open.

"Sure, give me a few minutes to get ready.  Where are we going?"

"Tonight you will be wined and dined with the culinary delights of Chef
Jason."

"But don't we need to go the grocery store?"

"No, my friend knew we were coming and he had some food sent in.  He also
has a cool DVD selection so we should be all set.  Is that OK with you?"

Rick stopped, scratched his chin, put his hand on his hip, "Well, I guess
so".  He then went up and hugged Jason and thanked him for taking good care
of him.  And thanks for the watch you sneaky old man".

The two held the hug, neither wanting to let go.  But they broke apart
without any further words being said.  Jason went to the kitchen and yelled
out to Rick, "Go take a shower, you stink. Dinner will be ready in an hour.
Take a shower in the master bath, you will love it."

Rick stepped into the shower.  It had a bench to sit on, was big enough for
4 people, and had 5 shower nozzles at different angles.  With some
struggling he figured it out and was soon bathed in warm water.  But
something else was happening.  He was thinking about how nice Jason had been
to him and how much he enjoyed being with him.  His dick was getting hard.
He started to rub himself and his dick grew to its full 8 inches.  He
continued to rub as the warm water showered down on him.  His breathing
became heavy and his knees were growing weak.  He felt his nuts draw up and
soon he was shooting 6 thick ropes of cum on the shower walls.  He almost
collapsed from the relief.  He finished his shower, towelled off with one of
the thickest towels he had ever seen, and slipped on some shorts and a
t-shirt.

He could smell something good coming from the kitchen and went to join
Jason.  Grilled chicken, roasted potatoes, fresh corn on the cob, and hot
French bread was on the menu.  Rick was impressed.  Jason told him to grab
some wine out of the fridge.  Jason saw a separate fridge just for the wine.
  He selected a bottle of white wine from the fully stocked fridge, uncorked
it and poured two glasses.

Rick and Jason sat down for dinner. It was fantastic.  They laughed and
talked about so many things.  They were both getting a slight buzz from the
wine when they decided to go to the living room to watch a movie.  Jason
selected a DVD and the movie started.  Jason and Rick were side by side on
the sofa, feet on the coffee table, feeling very relaxed.

In the film there was a car crash which killed the family in the car.  Jason
couldn't believe he had forgotten that was part of the movie.  He hated
himself at that moment.  When he looked over and saw Rick was crying he
wanted to die himself.

"I am so sorry.  I didn't remember that being in the movie.  I wish I hadn't
picked that movie", he managed to get out before he choked up.

Rick looked into Jason's eyes and began to sob.  He put his head on Jason's
shoulder and Jason pulled him close and held him.  Rick cried but didn't say
anything.  They stayed like that for 20 minutes.  Finally Rick leaned back
and said that he needed to talk.

Chapter Seven

"Jason, I have been dealing with what happened to my parents and I have
worked through a lot of the pain I was feeling.  My crying just now wasn't
about the loss of my parents.  It was more than that.  After the loss of my
parents, I felt lost.  I am usually a loner.  I don't have many friends.  I
am an only child so it was just me.  After my parents died, I decided to go
away.  To run away.  So I went and I joined the crew on Sojourn.  I never
expected anything fantastic to happen.  But it has.  I met you.  You have
been kind and generous to me.  You have been an incredible friend to me.  I
have never had a friend like you before.  I was crying because I am afraid I
am going to lose you."

Jason spoke up, "Rick, you aren't going to lose me and you don't..."

"No, let me finish," Rick whispered. "I may lose you when I tell you the
rest.  Jason, I love you.  I love you with all my being.  I think about you
day and night.  I want to spend every moment of every day with you.  I want
to share my love with you in every way possible.  My heart is so full of
love and my body is so full of passion and my mind is telling me I shouldn't
feel this way.  But I do.  I love you.  I want you.  I need you".

Rick paused and silence filled the room.  Jason got up and walked to the
windows and looked out at the ocean.  Jason's back looked like a wall to
Rick.  He started to cry.  He stood up.

"Jason, I am sorry.  I knew this was a risk. I wasn't sure you felt anything
towards me other than friendship.  I have crossed a line.  I will leave.  I
will resign from Sojourn so I will not make you uncomfortable.  I am sorry"
he managed to say before his voice gave away.

He went to get his things when he heard a muffled something from Jason.  He
couldn't make it out, he waited a few seconds, then turned and continued
walking.

"WAIT" Jason yelled.  "Stop right there.  I have a few things to say.  You
aren't going anywhere until I have said what I have to say."

Jason turned and faced Rick.  Jason's eyes were red and his face had streaks
of tears.  He motioned for Rick to meet him on the couch.  Both seated,
Jason began to speak.

"Rick, I was very moved by what you said and I know it was very hard for
you.  I could go on and on with a long speech, but I don't think this is the
time".

Rick felt the air leave his lungs and a pain went through his heart when he
realised he had ruined this friendship.  He began to sob.

Jason reached out his hand and touched Rick's face.  He rubbed his cheek.
He lifted up Rick's chin and looked him in the eyes.

"I am going to skip the speech because what I have to say is something I
thought I would never say again in my life.  Such simple words that are so
hard to say.  Rick, I love you.  In every way.  I want you to be a part of
my life.  Every day.  Every night.  In every way."

Rick gasped.  He felt like he couldn't breathe.  Did he hear correctly?

"Hey kiddo, you need to take a deep breath.  I don't want to have you pass
out on me now.  Well, maybe that would be OK.  A little mouth to mouth may
be just what you need".

With that Rick smiled and leaned forward and kissed Jason.  When their lips
met they both jumped.  It was like a shock passed between them.  The first
shock wave and tentative kiss gave way to passion.  Tongues mingled.  They
were hungry to explore each other.  While they had both seen each other on
the beach many times, it was like they were seeing each other for the first
time.

Jason reached out and lifted Rick's tee over his head.  He let his fingers
fall down onto Rick's shoulders.  Rick jumped.  Jason's hands moved down
Rick's arms feeling his muscles.  He then explored Rick's chest.  He had
been dreaming of this for weeks.  He ran his fingers over the hard muscles
of Rick's abs.  He finally ran his fingers through the treasure trail just
above Rick's navel.  The sexy treasure trail that he had dreamed about.
With that Jason sighed and closed his eyes.  He was in heaven.  This
beautiful man that he loved so much was there.  And he was touching him.
And Rick loved him back.

Jason then kissed Rick with a passion and intensity that neither of them had
experienced before.  Jason took Rick's hand and pulled him off the couch and
they went to the bedroom.  They made love with the sounds of the waves
crashing.  They explored their bodies.  Jason and Rick couldn't leave each
other's cocks alone.  They were almost identical.  Jason's was a little
smaller but not enough for any shyness.  Rick seemed to like it just fine.
He said it fit in his mouth perfectly.  He had licked and sucked and taken
Jason's nectar from the gorgeous cock many times during the night.  Jason
had done the same with Rick.  They didn't fuck that night but didn't need
to.  They were both exhausted and fell asleep spooning.  Jason on the
outside and Rick on the inside.  They slept a hard sleep.  Soundly.  The
gulf breeze blowing in the room.

Jason woke up about 9am when the sound of the seagulls became too much.
They were on a feeding frenzy as a school of fish swam close to shore.
Jason got up, closed the sliding door, and looked at Rick sleeping in the
bed.  Jason was so filled with love and awe.  Rick was so beautiful.  And he
was such a beautiful person.  He hoped he could be all that Rick wanted.
And hoped that Rick would accept him for who he is and love him, no matter
what.  Jason wasn't sure he could expect that of anyone.  But he was willing
to give it a try.  Jason got back in the bed, took Rick in his arms and went
back to sleep.  A new day and a new life dawning for both of them.

When Rick woke, Jason wasn't there.  Was last night a dream?  Just then he
could here some singing coming from the shower.  Rick really had to pee, his
cock was standing proud at 8 inches aching for relief.  Rick went into the
bathroom to see Jason in the shower. It took his breath away.  This man was
stunning.  He claims to be 37, but Rick didn't believe it.  It would have to
sneak a peak at his driver's license later to be sure.  Jason kept singing
as Rick got the relief he so desperately needed.  He was turning to leave
when Jason said "good morning honey, care to join me?"  Rick started to cry
when he stepped into the shower with his gorgeous and wonderful lover.
Jason saw the tears and got concerned?

"What's wrong honey"

"Nothing.  Nothing is wrong.  I love you calling me that.  I also love you.
With all my heart".

That led to an intense session in the shower.  They both came with such
intensity they surprised themselves.  Stepping out of the shower, Jason went
to make breakfast.  The new lovers ate on the balcony and didn't speak too
much.  But it was OK.  They didn't need to speak.  They both knew.  They
were in love.

Rick decided to stay in Pensacola for a few days before going to Destin.
They filled their days with jogs on the beach, swimming, shopping at the
mall, going to movies and holding hands in the dark.  And they made love.  A
lot.




Chapter Eight

"Hey Jason.  This friend of your is going to freak out knowing that two guys
did the wild thing in his bed.  Will he be upset or grossed out?"

"Naw, he is cool.  He won't be upset at all.  He will be happy that I found
my soulmate".  With that Rick blushed and hugged Jason so hard he almost
suffocated him.

The guys went out to dinner that night.  Jason knew a small restaurant that
had great seafood.  He warned Rick that it wasn't fancy, it had big haired
waitresses that like to call you sweetie, honey, and darling.  They serve
great food and seem to only have sweet tea to drink.  Rick laughed and said
that sounded great.  Except for one thing.  "Only you can call me honey".
More sex followed.

They drove up Scenic Highway and then down Creighton Road to a place called
the Spanish Trail Inn.  It really did look rough.  And it was.  Jason was
right.  The food was good and the waitresses did have big hair.  The décor
and general atmosphere was 20 year old trailer park.  They giggled and
smirked at one another through-out the meal.

A guy about two tables over was looking at them.  Rick noticed it but didn't
mention it.  Suddenly the guy waved and said, "Ethan, is that you?"

Jason got up and went over and greeted the guy with a big hug.  He brought
him over and introduced Rick to him.  The guys name was Mitch an old high
school buddy.  Mitch seemed like a nice guy but he had to run so soon he was
on his way.

"Why did he call you Ethan", Rick asked.

"Well, Jason is actually my middle name.  I thought Ethan sounded dorky so
after high school I started using Jason."

OK, Mr. Ethan Jason North, lets go.  I want to show you my thanks for this
dinner".

The guys drove out to the beach holding hands.  They approached the Condo
when Rick commented about the name of the building.

"Tranquility.  I will always remember this place as the place where I found
true love.  Both Jason and Rick were misty eyed.  Tranquility existed
between them.

They barely made it into the condo and the bedroom before another passionate
round of sex.

After a couple of hours of kissing, groping, and two orgasms, Jason and Rick
collapsed in the bed.  Jason could feel Rick's cock starting to get hard.

"Get that thing away from me, it is going to kill me.  I am not a quarter of
a century old you know".

Rick smiled, and got out of bed.

Jason asked, "Where do you think you are you going"

"I am going to see if this friend of yours has any Geritol in the medicine
cabinet.  The old man in the bed needs some," Rick said in a sarcastic tone.

  Jason jumped out of the bed, grabbed Rick, threw him on the bed and
brought him to another climax.  Now Rick was exhausted and Jason just
laughed.  They slept spooned together the whole night.  They both felt safe
and secure and happy.

The next morning the phone woke them at 10am.  Jason went into the living
room and answered the phone.  Rick thought it was odd he didn't answer the
phone by the bed but shrugged it off.  Rick got up and went into the shower.
  Jason came in looking frustrated.

"Hi Babe.  Was that your wife or your other man?  Is that why you went in
the other room?  Well let me tell you, ain't no bitch gonna take away my
man," Rick said in a camp tone doing his best chicken necking and heavy
southern accent.

"Well, no Miss Trailer Park it wasn't." Jason laughed.  It was Compass.
They are going to have a board meeting onboard Sojourn in Mobile. Apparently
repairs have run into problems and they want to talk about options. Also,
something about the new ship being built in Germany.  They need to have
everything set up for the board meeting tomorrow afternoon so I need to head
over to Mobile and get things prepared.  I can come back after the board
meeting is over and all the big shots are gone".

Rick thought for a moment.  "I think it is time for me to go over to Destin
and take care of a few things.  I will head over there and I can come back
here tomorrow night"

"Cool.  Take the rental car and I will use my friend's extra car downstairs.
  I need to leave soon and I should be back by 9pm tomorrow.  Lets have a
quick breakfast before I go.  Oh, and about calling me Babe.  Keep it up, I
like it!"

Breakfast was nice and an hour later Jason was heading out.  Rick said he
would hang around and have another shower and then head out.  Plans were
made for a hot reunion the following night.
