So, the next day we were all moping about on the boat, or ship as Dave and
me keep being told. Dave and me played the slot machines went to the movies
and stuff with the brothers, Jake and Josh. The ship was really luxurious
but was oh so fucking booooring for teenagers.

We woke the next day as we always do, all our arms and legs wrapped around
each other. I managed to untangle myself from his grip and get out of
bed. For a skinny guy he's amazingly strong, I don't call him skinny like
he calls himself. I looked at myself in the full-length mirror, my god,
seventeen years old, I sure don't feel or look any older. I spotted an
envelope on the bedside cabinet. It was addressed to, 'The Most Beautiful
Boy in the World'

I tore it open to read Dave's birthday card, it was a home made one, it
looked like one he'd printed off of the net. The verse was one of
'Shakespeare's'.

                      "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
                      Thou art more lovely and more temperate:"

I think you know the rest without me reading it all out. I looked over at
him snoring, it was he that was lovely, not me.

I read the rest of the card, he finished with happy seventeenth
Jordan. You're the whole world to me, I'd gladly give my life for you, I
love you so much.

I shivered as I leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. He looked at me
through tired eyes.

"Mm morning, Jordan happy birthday."

"Morning to you too, Dave, that's the best card I've ever had. I love you
so much too."

We kissed, it was a soft tender kiss, a kiss full of love. I got back into
bed, I could feel his cock was hard, I took hold of it and jacked him off,
god he was just so sexy, I'd gotten to love that cock of his, just as he
was about to shoot I put my mouth over the tip and drank his cum.

"I should be doing that for you, J not you doing it for me, it's your
birthday not mine."

We both jumped out of bed for our usual shower. We made slow beautiful
love. I looked at my watch as we stepped out of the shower. "My god Dave
it's five after twelve."

He looked at me with that smile on his face, "say that again in English J."

"It's five past twelve, or that should be five past eleven, cos we've got
to put it back an hour."

"Oh yeah I forgot that, I wonder if we've missed breakfast? I'm starving."

"Dave, you're always starving! I don't think they'll still be serving
breakfast either."

This was the last full day of the voyage. We'd had a good time really but I
was glad to be so near to the States. In two or three days we'd be back
home at my house in DC. I wonder what all my friends would make of my Dave.

As it was my birthday, I also wondered what my Mom and Dad would get me. I
hadn't said much to them while we'd been on here and in the UK, apart from
the day of the 11th.

I also wondered what we'd find in 'New York'. I looked at my watch putting
it back the one-hour. This time tomorrow we'd find out. We disembarked at
seven am.

"Come on, J lets get dressed and go see what we can find to eat."

"Sure thing, Dave."

We walked into the breakfast room, they were just serving coffee and
cookies. We went to our table as a young guy came over with a pot of
coffee. "Black or white sir?"

"Black for me please," I said.

"White for me please." Dave said.

"Help your selves to the biscuits and cake over on the table." He said
pointing to a long table.

As soon as he said that Dave was up like a shot with me following on his
heels.

After we'd finished them we walked out on deck for a stroll feeling much
better.

When Dave's hungry or tired it shows all over his face and his
demeanour. As soon as he has some food in him he changes, almost like when
David Banner coming back out of the green hulk.

Almost by instinct I leave him alone when he's like that, he's so
snappy. He is also soon up and soon down, that I put down to his
hormones. Why do we have to go through all that shit to become a man?

We walked over to the games room, the brothers were there already. They
were playing with two girls. They were about fifteen, and identical
twins. They both had dark brown hair and deep brown eyes that flashed as
soon as they saw us walking in. They were fucking hot, if you were into
girls that is.

"Oh hi," Josh said with a big smile.

"I thought you weren't coming in here today with it being your birthday."
Jake said, looking at me then over at Dave.

I was just about to open my mouth when one of the girls said. "Aint ya
gonna introduce us guys?"

"Oh yeah, this is Dave, he's a Brit, and this is Jordan, it's his
seventeenth birthday today. And this is Bianca, and this is Faith." Josh
said pushing Jake out of the way.

"Wow, you're a Brit? That is so cool." One of the girls said looking at
Dave and shaking his hand.

Then looking at me, the other one said, "You're seventeen? That's
cool...erm...Jordan is it?" She then stuck her arm out so we could shake
hands.

After all the pleasantries, they were all over Dave. Not physically of
course, they were just so interested in him and how he speaks. Not that
that surprises me cos he really is interesting. Especially in bed, but that
they would ever find out would they? Hehe.

We all had a good time on the machines then went to the movies, we watched
two movies this time.

The girls left us as me and Dave and the two brothers went back to our
cabin.

"Ok, guys I don't want to get rid of you but we've got to get ready for my
party now, and so do you two." I said to the guys.

"Yeah we do, come on, Josh. What time do you want us here?" Jake said.

I looked over at Dave, "what time would you say, Dave? Seven?"

"Yeah that sounds like a reasonable time, it's about two hours away so
we've got plenty of time to get ready." He said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Josh picked that up on that twinkle right away, I'm sure that dude's gay.

"And you'll have plenty of time to have some fun too." He said.

"Why, are you two going to have some fun too?" Dave shot back.

"Nah, we've already had some fun this morning haven't we Jake?"

"Erm...erm...erm, fuck Josh, why do you keep doing this to me?" He said
spluttering.

All Josh did was laugh.

As we were seeing them out Dave's Mom and Dad came down the corridor.

"See ya later guys, seven k?"

"Yup see ya later dudes."

"What's that about, Jordan? You haven't forgotten it's your birthday party
tonight have you?" Dave's Mom said.

"No I've not, we've asked them to come tonight, that's ok isn't it?"

"Yes of course it is, it is your birthday not any one else's, but I'll have
to go and tell them in the dinning room, so they can set the table for
eight and not six."

"Oh shit I forgot that."

"That's ok, Jordan, and don't use that sort of language in front of me
please!"

"Oh sorry."

We went back into our cabin with Dave smirking. "Don't you use that sort of
language in front of me," he said mimicking his Mom.

We kissed as we were both laughing. We stripped down to our boxers. I put
my arms round him again, we were hugging as I heard a noise.

"What the fuck's that, Dave?" I said looking at him.

"Oh sorry, J, that's my stomach grumbling."

"My god you're always fucking hungry, how the fuck can you be so skinny? Oh
sorry, Dave, I meant slim."

"That's ok, J, you were right first time, I am skinny." He said smiling and
kissing me on my nose.

He walked over to the fridge took a pack of nuts a candy bar and a can of
fresh orange juice out. "What do you want J?"

I went over and stood next to him, then took a can of coke and a chocolate
bar out.

"That coke and chocolate are bad for your teeth, J."

I just smiled at him and kissed him. "Don't fuss, Dave."

My coke mixed with his orange as we tongue danced.

We broke the kiss as Dave went and put the TV on. There was the ships own
channel, or satellite. We watched an old movie, the one where they arrange
to meet at the top of the 'Empire State' building with Cary Grant and Debra
Kerr.

My mind kept going back to the downing of the twin towers and all the
mayhem that it's caused.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,



There was a knock on the door.

"Oh shit," Dave said looking at his watch.

"What the fuck...?"

"It's five to seven, J, we fell asleep, it must be Josh and Jake." Dave
said.

"Oh fuck."

"Yeah come on get up, J while I let them in."

Dave let them in, they were all dressed up to kill, with their jacket and
ties on. They sparkled. They were just so sexy.

"Oh, have we come at a bad time?" Josh said with a smile.

"No, no, come in, come in." Davis said stood there in just his boxers and
me still on the bed in my boxers.

"Come on guys, It's my birthday k? We are allowed some fun aint we?

"Sure you are Jordan, we've had some fun too, haven't we, Jake?"

"Oh fuck, Josh you just did it again."

"Oh sorry, Jake." Josh said with that evil smile of his.

"Ok make your selves at home while we go shower and get dressed guys."

"You have a shower together too? That's kewl so do we." Josh said.

I smiled and looked at the embarrassed look on Jake's face.

As we stepped into the shower, I said, "I wonder what my Mom and Dad got me
Dave! What did you get me?"

"Who say's I got you anything?" He replied with his usual smile. They were
so alike Josh and Dave the way they looked.

It was a quick shower, we were in and out with just a wash and a shave. We
put our dinner suits on then went back into the cabin to put our shoes and
socks on.

"Wow, you two look sexy." Josh said. Now he was out of his shell there was
no shutting him up.

We picked our keys up then went to knock on Dave's Mom and Dad's door. They
came out looking a million dollars, and all this was for me.

We all walked into the dining room and were shown to our table with
everyone looking at us, we really must have cut the mustard.

Brian and Mick were there already and stood up as we sat down.

"Thanks for standing up for us again guys." Dave said looking at them with
a smile. They smiled back with eyebrows raised, "yeah right." Mick said.

"Who are these young men then, Jordan?" Brian said.

I introduced them all then sat down.

The meal went really well, we had some wine with it too. The boys had a
glass of coke.

Then to my acute embarrassment some guy wheeled a large cake in with
seventeen candles on it. When they got to our table they lit the candles
while everyone sang happy birthday. I then had to blow them all out and
make a wish, which I did. They all clapped then as they took the cake back
to the kitchen to be cut up. They were back within ten minutes. They gave
us all a peace of cake, then Dave's Mom asked me if they could give the
rest to the other tables. I said of course they could.

Dave's Mom then gave me an envelope. I tore it open to find a share
certificate for five hundred shares for Raytheon, the company Dave's Dad
was going to work for.

"Thanks, Jackie, thanks Gerry, I don't quite know what to say."

"So don't say anything then," Jackie said.

Dave's Dad then gave me another envelope. I tore that open too. A single
car key fell out. Oh my god, it was the ignition key to my Dad's most
prised possession, his classic 'Ford Mustang' 1967, it was priceless. I
read the note that was inside.

                   Dear Jordan.
                   Now that you're on your way to becoming a man
                   I thought it was about
                   time I let you drive the Mustang, the key is
                   present not the
                   car, when you've got your drivers permit. Have
                   a good birthday son, sorry we had to miss it
                   we
                   both love you.

                   Love Dad.

"That's well cool, J." Dave said.

"What's a 'Ford Mustang?" Josh said.

"It's only the number one classic sports car that there's ever been in the
States." Jake said.

"Oh kewl."

I was starting to tear up. Brian and Mick then gave we a small
parcel. "Happy birthday Jordan, that's from the two of us." I tore that
open to find a small box. In side the box was another key, but this time it
was a door key. It had nametag on it that said 'The Waldorf Astoria' I
looked at Brian and then Mick holding the key up.

"What's this guys?"

"We have a permanent suit at 'The Waldorf' so any time you want to be alone
you can use it, so long that it's ok with your parents and we're not
there. All you have to do is phone up on this number and check, we also let
some of our clients stay there sometimes too." He said as he got a card out
of his pocket. "This will also give you access at all times so don't lose
it." I looked at the card. It said 'This is to allow Mr J Flack and Mr D
Wilkinson into the ocean suite', "what can I say guys? Thanks doesn't seem
enough, but thanks," I said passing the key and card over to Dave.

The brothers were next, they passed me a package, I opened it knowing it
was a CD. It was 'Smash Mouth' the Astro Lounge disk. "Thanks guys that's
kewl, how did you know I liked them?"

They both smiled and looked at Dave. He was beaming, as he then passed me
his present. I had no idea what he'd gotten me but I knew it would be the
best, and I'd had some wonderful gifts. It was a small package beautifully
wrapped with a small red bow on it. I opened it up to find yet another
box. I opened the box to see a gold chain necklace. As I took it out, he
came over and took it out of my hands to put it round my neck. He then bent
down in full view of the whole dinning room and kissed my cheek saying,
"happy birthday Jordan."

I turned my head then he kissed my lips.

I looked over at his Mom and Dad, his Mom had tears running down her
cheeks, his Dad had tears in his eyes too.

"Thanks, Dave, I love you."

"I love you too, J." He said going back to his chair.

"Ok then, Jordan just one last present for you." Dave's Mom said, passing
me a parcel this time. I opened it to find a box, that also was wrapped
up. I undid that and found a pair of cell phones, both picture phones and
top of the line models. There was also a note with them. It was from my
Mom.

                  Hey Jordie. Happy birthday, my god
                  seventeen already. It doen't seem
                  two minutes since you were in diapers
                  and here you are almost a man. Oh the
                  other phone is for David. Just on the off
                  chance you're ever apart for longer than
                  five minutes.
                  Love you as always Mom.



I looked at them, one had my name on the other had Dave's name on it.

"This is for you, Dave, so we can always stay in touch. I think they may
need charging up."

I passed him his phone as I looked at mine. I turned it on, it was fully
charged.

It was now well past midnight. I saw Josh and Jake's Mom and Dad stood at
the entrance of the dinning room. I waved them in. "I think it's time for
you to go guys, your parents are here."

"Oh shit," Josh said.

"Joshua what sort of language is that to use?" His Mom said giving him a
scowl.

"Come on now you two, it's way past your bed time, and we have to be up at
five thirty in the morning if you want any breakfast. We dock at seven you
know. I hope they've behaved them selves?"

"They've been perfect angels all night." Dave's Mom said.

"Yes it's time we were going too." Dave's Dad said standing up.

We all then started to stand up. I gathered all my presents together. We
all said good night to each other, we arranged to meet for breakfast and
walked back to our cabin.

"Don't forget breakfast is at 5am in the morning, and don't forget you have
to pack!" Dave's Mom said.

"Yeah ok, Mum, we'll be up, it's only four hours away, and we'll pack as
soon as we get in."

It wasn't the first thing we did, the first thing we did was kiss. It
wasn't the second thing we did either. We stripped off our penguin
suit. Then we packed, just leaving some clothes out for the morning. We
walked over to the bed lay down and just cuddled and kissed.

The next thing there was a knock on the door.

"Oh shit, it's five after five, Dave."

"Oh fuckinhell!"

"I heard that." Dave's Mom said from the other side of the door.

Dave grabbed his pants, throwing me mine. We were hopping around pulling
them up. Dave then went to let her in.

"Come on you two if you want some breakfast now you'd better hurry up."

"Yeah ok Mum, we won't be long. As soon as the door closed we went back in
put the rest of our clothes on then went to breakfast.

The ship had slowed down a little, I looked out the window to see the
lights flickering from land.

The dinning room was full as we walked in.

"Morning guys, sleep well?" Brian said with a smile.

"Yeah we did. Did you?"

"We've not been to bed, so no we didn't, but we'll soon catch up when we
get to our hotel" Mick said looking guilty.

"What coast is that, Mick?" Dave asked.

"That's Long Island, New York."

"Cool."

It was now coming light so we could now see more of it.

Right after that, everyone was shouting and pointing, when we turned too to
see what it was all about, there 'SHE' was.  I had never realized how
impressive she was until this moment.  The statue of Liberty took our
breath away. We'd been up her to the crown, but we'd not seen her from this
position. In fact not many New York residents had seen it from this
position.

We walked back to our cabin after we had said our goodbyes to the guys and
thanked them for the key to their suite.

We then went to look for Josh and Jake, we found them in their dinning
room, they both looked like they hadn't slept either. We all said our
goodbyes after first exchanging emails and phone numbers. We said we'd go
to see them in Chicago as soon as we could. We also invited them down to DC
too. As we were leaving Josh jumped up throwing him self at Dave hugging
him then me, he was crying.

"I'm gonna miss you guys." He said.

"We're gonna miss you too." I said.

We then hugged Jake, he was just as upset as his younger brother.

"Seezya guys." We said as we walked out.

"Yeah seezya too." They both said.

We had slowed down quite a lot now. We were almost stopped. We were hardly
moving at all. We went into our cabin as Dave's Mom followed us in.

"Leave your cases outside your door. They'll be off as soon as we are."

We did that, put our outside jackets on and then went out on deck. We found
a space on the rails, there was a tug at the front and one at the back of
the ship as we sailed into the Hudson estuary.

Almost every one was looking out to see what we could of lower
Manhattan. We weren't close enough yet.

Ten minutes later it all came into view. There it was for all to see. The
Smoke was still rising into the sky. I had seen this view many times from
the other side of the river in New Jersey. What the fuck have those cunts
done to my Country? I looked at my watch, six fifty. Ten minutes later we
were docking. We'd soon be able to go and see Will and find out about
Steve.
