Now that the legal stuff is done with, lets get started!

	The next morning I woke up late. I didn't even feel Brian get out
of bed. He'd even gotten dressed and downstairs by himself. When I looked
at the clock I saw that I had to be to work in a half hour I jumped out of
bed and immediately headed for the shower. After my shower I called the
hospital and told them that I would be a little late.

	I headed downstairs and found Brian cooking breakfast. Nobody else
had woken up yet except of course for Midnight, who was hovering around
Brian just waiting for him to drop something. I went over to Brian and said
"Morning hun, whatcha cookin?" "Food" he replied. "No shit. How long till
it's done?" I asked him. He just laughed and said "Bout 5 minutes". I asked
him if he was going to be all right if I went back upstairs to finish
getting ready for work. "Go on! Food will be served when you get back."

	With that I nodded and headed back upstairs to finish preparing for
work. When I came back down he indeed had everything ready for me. He had
made a delightful cheese omelet with onions mushrooms and peppers (and lots
of cheese I might add). To go with the omelet he had made homefries and
English muffins with strawberry cream cheese. "What, no bacon?" I asked him
smiling. " I can only cook with one arm right now so be happy with what you
got." he replied trying to keep a strait face. As I started to eat Brian
came up behind me and wrapped his good arm around me and kissed me softly
on the neck. I turned my head so that we were face to face and said. "I've
got a little supprise for you tonight." "Oh do you now" he replied. "Yep,
but you will have to wait for tonight though" I told him. "I waited for a
week in the hospital, I think I can wait for a few more hours to go by." he
replied.

	After breakfast I hurried out of the house. After giving Brian a
good-bye hug and kiss of course.  Arriving at the hospital I kicked myself
in the ass because I forgot my damn jacked again. The day was going pretty
fast until I heard someone on the emergency radio calling the hospital. I
went over to the radio "This is University Medical Center. Re-identify and
go ahead with your message." I said into the mic. "This is Mercy Flight
Helicopter 1. Were inbound to your location with a 47 year old male with
2nd and 3rd degree burns to 60% of his upper body. Patient was working on
his truck when a fuel line ruptured and covered him with gasoline. We were
told that the heat from the exhaust manifold ignited the gasoline.
Patient's vitals are stable but he is in great pain. We've given him 10
units of morphine IV and covered the burns with dry sterile dressings. Do
you have any questions or orders?" said the flight nurse. "Negative.  We'll
meet you on the roof and transport him to the burn unit. University Medical
Center Clear."

	The entire trauma team including myself greeted the chopper on the
roof and the next 4 hours were spent caring for the man in the burn
unit. His X-rays showed that he had an enormous build up of fluid in his
lungs, and if we didn't do something about it he would die. I helped the
doctor perform a thorocentesis.  Meaning we stuck a big needle into the
mans lungs from the back to drain some of the fluid. And for those of you
have a queasy stomach, I won't go into any more detail. The man was then
sent to the operating room where they began to graft his skin to repair the
damaged parts of his upper body.

	At lunch time I went to the ER director's office and put in a
request for two weeks of vacation starting in a week and a half. He gladly
obliged and made the schedule change. I then made a call to the Firm to
make sure that the guys were going to be on time. The rep that I was
talking to stated that they were about 2-3 hours out. I then asked him if
there was any way that they could wait until about 6:30pm and then come to
my house and knock on the door. I told him that I wanted to set Brian up
for a big supprise, and it would be better if I didn't have the guys get
there before I did. He told me that it wouldn't be a problem, and that he
would call Kevin's cell phone to tell him. After thanking him I hung up the
phone and continued my stressful day. 5:00pm rolled around and I was
waiting at the time clock waiting to punch out. I practically ran out to my
truck and drove home.

	I got home at about 5:20pm and found everyone down in the basement
watching Galaxy Quest laughing their asses off. Any movie with Tim Allen in
it has to be funny. I sat down next to Brian on the couch and gave him a
kiss on the cheek. He looked over to me and said "Tough day?" "How'd you
know?"  I asked him. "Women's intuition." he replied with a laugh. I just
laughed with him and hugged him.

	"So what did everybody do today?" I asked looking around the
room. Harrold Jr. was the first to speak up. "Dirk at the fire dept. called
looking for you and I asked him if I could come hang out. He came and
picked me up and I helped out around the station today." " That's great
Harrold, thank you for doing that. Did you have fun.?" I said. "Oh yeah, I
learned a lot. They even let me put on some gear and go through the smoke
house." "Good for you Harrold. How about you guys?" I said looking over at
Brian's parents. "We worked on arrangements for a our trip home. We're
picking up a rental car tomorrow morning, and are going to start for
Lexington tomorrow night." Jackie said. "Well I'm sorry that you have to go
so soon." I replied "Well we've imposed long enough, and we have to get
back home soon." Harrold Sr. joined in.

	"I'm going to stay here with you if that's all right with you Zach"
Brian chimed. "You know you don't have to leave. Besides, I wouldn't let
you. I still have to help you with your physical therapy." I replied to
Brian winking at him. Brian laid his head on my shoulder and began to watch
the movie again.

	After the movie we all went upstairs to the living room and
discussed what we were going to do for dinner. Jackie had said that she
went to the store and restocked my refrigerator, and that she was going to
cook. I thanked her but gave her a weird look because she knew as well as I
that the rest of the BSB would be there tonight. And that would be a lot of
cooking to do. She just smiled and winked at me. Letting me know that she
had things under control. Just then the doorbell rang. I already knew who
it was but said something dumb to the fact of, gee I wonder who that could
be.

	I got up and answered the door. There standing on my porch were
four men, all with smiles on their faces. One of them said "Zach Martin?"
"You got the right place" I replied as I opened the door wide and waved
them in. Kevin, Nick, Howie, and A.J. walked in. I pointed over to the
couch where Brian was sitting, facing the opposite direction. Nick was the
first one to speak "Hey Frick!" he yelled. Brian turned around to see his
colleagues standing in my living room. The smile on his face spread from
ear to ear. He got up off of the couch as quick as he could with his cast
and hobbled over to hug all of the guys individually.

	After all of the introductions were finished between the BSB and
myself we all sat down in the living room. We all started talking about
Brian, but nick was having too much fun playing with Midnight.  "Dog lover
huh?" I said looking at the guys. "Yeah but I thing Nick will wear out the
dog before the dog wears him out." Kevin said. Jackie stood up and said "I
think I will go start dinner." "Would you like some help?" I asked
her. "No, stay here and get to know the guys. Besides Harrold Sr. will help
me. Won't you honey." she said sternly as she gave Harrold Sr. a hinting
look. "Oh, I guess" Harrold Sr. said as he got out of the recliner.

	 Over the next hour I got to know the guys. Who they were and what
they did when not touring and all that good stuff. Jackie came into the
room and said "I hate to break this up guys, but dinner is on the table."
We all stood up at the same time and made a b-line for the dining room. I
swear there was so much food on my kitchen counter I could have open up an
all you can eat buffet. Everyone grabbed a plate and piled it high with the
food. Throughout dinner everyone kept talking. Asking Brian about his trip
to New England, what happened on the way back, how he met me, and so
on. The guys were already treating me like one of their own. Obviously
accepting the fact that Brian and I were an item. I brought up the fact
that I had spoken to the police officer that was in charge of the
investigation of the crash scene. He had told me that an RV driving beside
Brian on the highway had caused the whole thing. The RV was towing a car on
a trailer behind it. It turns out that the welds on the ball hitch that the
trailer was connected to had broke and the safety chains were not strong
enough to hold the weight. The trailer broke free and crossed into Brian's
lane, pushing him to the left into oncoming traffic. That is where Brian's
car had collided with a tractor trailer. Thank god for modern safety
equipment in modern vehicles. Otherwise Brian would not be here today.

	After dinner, everyone had a hand in cleaning up. We all met in the
living room trying to decide what to do next. "I know, lets have a bon fire
in my pit out back. that should keep us nice and warm." I said.  Everyone
agreed and I led them all to the back yard where I had quickly stoked the
fire. We all sat out there for what seemed like minutes but really was
hours just talking and talking. Everyone had a great time. Brian was in his
prime, telling embarrassing stories about his buds. He just hung onto me
throughout the whole night. It was great having someone so close to me.

	At about 2:00am the fire was dying out and everyone was starting to
get a little chilly. But Brian and I were keeping each other warm with our
hearts. We decided to call it a night and Kevin, Nick, Howie and
A.J. headed for their rental car and drove off for their hotel. Jackie and
Harrold Sr. Retired to their guest room and Harrold Jr. went down to the
basement. Brian and I went up to my room and got into bed.  Brian looked
over to me and thanked me for his supprise. We were both soon asleep.

	The next week and a half went very quickly. The Littrells returned
to Lexington with Harrold Jr.  The rest of the BSB returned to Orlando
after spending a couple of days in town seeing what there was to see. And
Brian had his casts removed. Now that Brian could move without obstruction
it was time for him to regain his strength. Him and I worked out in my
garage where I had a home gym set up and he made a supprising recovery in
his strength. He and I would go out to dinner and seeing movies. We even
went to a couple of clubs. He never really got noticed because he wasn't
with the other guys. The hat and sunglasses kinda helped too. I realized
that I was really falling for this man. not because of WHO he was, but
because of who he was. I never thought about the SUPERSTAR or the monetary
aspects of his life. Just the important ones. Like personality.

	The big day finally came, VACATION! "What do you want to do for
your vacation?" Brian asked.  "SLEEP!" I said. "Seriously, whatever you
want to do. I'll pick up the tab." Brian said "I've always wanted to go on
an Alaskan cruise." I replied. "Done. I'll just call the Firm and have them
arrange our trip." he said. "Seriously?" I asked. "Dead serious. Besides
they can pull strings and have our tickets a lot quicker than a travel
agent could get them." he replied. "OK then, an Alaskan cruise it is then."
I stated.

	Brian picked up his cell phone and dialed the Firm. After about
five minutes he hung up and said "The Firm will overnight our tickets to
us, we leave in 2 days." he said excitedly. I leaned over and kissed him
hard on the lips. He opened his mouth to allow my tongue access. He pushed
me back on the couch laying on top of me. I could feel his excitement as he
gyrated his hips into mine. I instinctively started gyrating my hips in
perfect synchronization with his. Our arms were wrapped around each other
and we were still kissing. I broke the kiss to breath for a second before
starting to kiss down his neck. I practically tore Brian's shirt off of his
back and began to lick my way down to his chest. Just then he stopped me
and said "You know that I want this more than anything in the world right
now, but I want our time to be special." I protested at first, then thought
about where we were. Sitting on a couch in the living room of my house. I
began to see his point. It wasn't very romantic. But we were both very
inconvenienced with the tents in our pants. It was almost painful to move
due to the pressure that the excitement had caused. We both headed upstairs
and decided to take a cold shower before bed.

	The Next afternoon, sure as shit an envelope arrived priority
Fed-Ex with our tickets. I opened the envelope and looked. First class all
the way. But today was the day to pack.  Not only did we pack but we went
shopping for some new clothes for the trip. When we got home I called my
station to let them know that I was going to be out of town for a week and
that I was leaving Midnight at the station. I knew that it wouldn't be a
problem because there is at least one person there 24/7 to answer
calls. after that Brian and I decided to hit the sac early because tomorrow
would be a long day.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, that's part three. Things are going to get a little steamy during the
trip. Zach and Brian will really discover who they are together. Chapter
four will focus mainly on the Alaskan Cruise and will definitely be
exciting for all of us. I want to thank someone in the state of
Massachusetts for inspiring me with some new ideas for the next chapter. I
can't say who he is because I haven't asked him if I can use his name yet,
but you know who you are. Thank you. Thank you all for your interest in my
stories. I am getting some good feedback. Please remember that all feedback
is welcome at zmartin24@hotmail.com.
