                                  Chapter 11

When we got downstairs, Kaz gave me a bashful look and then said she didn't
mind!  Hehe, she may not have but I did.  Anyway, we got moving and headed
off to the coffee shop to grab something to drink and to discus the deal in
more detail.

I had missed my car, I love it. The Z8 model is very unusual because most
people have never seen one.  I gave it a bit of a thrashing down the dual
carriage way to clear the cylinders through as no one had used it while we
were away.

When we arrived, I parked up and we went into the shop and ordered a coffee
each.

"Well you both know what the deal is in essence, what do ya think?" I asked
to get a conversation going.

"It sounds great to me.  I will speak to my folks and ask them if they
would like a free holiday and then I am sure that they will say ok!!!" Kaz
said.

"I have spoken to my parents and they are over the moon, they haven't
really traveled and they are looking forward to spending some time abroad,
especially as its free!" Dan agreed.

"Well our folks have already said that they would have to be dead if they
didn't get on the plane with us!  So they are in also," Robbie said.

"Ok, I will ask my folks tonight and then we should be clear to make some
proper arrangements," Kaz said.

"Pretty cool guys, a free holiday and not only that, but being paid for
something that we enjoy doing!" I said.

"Yea, how hot is that!" Dan said.

"Well it was REALLY hot while we were there, so make sure you pack your
sunblock!"

"So, what songs do they want us to play?" Kaz asked.

"Well, James said that until they get the final bookings, it could be
anything but he feels that the plan of attack would be theme nights.  You
know, Eighties night, Nineties night, and so on.  But, they said we may be
able to play some more up beat stuff if the intake of younger people is
fairly high," I said.

"Yea, so it may not be what we choose but we may have to," Robbie said.

"Well, that's ok because I think we have such a varied range that we could
do almost anything," Kaz said.

"What we will do is wait until we get the lists in less than a weeks time
and we can brain storm," Robbie said.

"Ok then, sounds like a plan!  Erm, guys can I ask you a question?" Kaz
asked.

"Sure," I said.

"Well, erm, I know this is a bit of a change of topic but what were you
planning to tell the people at school when we get back?  Because, I mean,
you are obviously getting used to people seeing you together."

"What makes you say that?" Robbie asked.

"Erm, that" she said pointing towards my hand that was resting on his leg.

"Oh, that," I said, patting his leg and then removing it.

"I mean, you know I don't care and you also know that although Dan may not
be all that hot on the idea, he is supportive of you.  However, we are due
back in school in a few weeks and I was wondering what you planed on doing?
We will support you in whatever you choose, but I think you need to know.
I mean, you either tell them or you are gonna have to control your actions.
And I KNOW that for you, that is gonna be very hard!!" she said with a
giggle.

"Erm we hadn't really thought about it.  Had we?" Robbie asked.

"I guess not.  We will talk about it and let ya know."

"Ok then, but remember that we will support you what ever you choose," Dan
said.

"Thanks bud" Robbie said.

The thing is that we were pretty well respected people at school and so we
may get lucky??  But what do we tell them for why we were living with each
other?  AND, what do we say if they come back to our house and see our
room?  First thing they will ask is where the other one sleeps!!
AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!  Why is everything so complicated?

"So what are you two gonna do tomorrow?" Kaz asked.

"Well we were gonna take a drive up to Rochester and pick up Jace and Josh
and then I thought we could all go bowling or something?  Sort of a triple
date if you like" I said.

"That would be really cool!" Kaz said "They seemed like very nice guys."

"Yea, they are," Robbie said.

"So, what would you like to do for the rest of the time today?" Dan asked.

"Would you like to go for a walk?  There is a nice path along the river," I
said.

"Yea, I would like that," Robbie said.

"Kaz?" I said.

"Erm, ya I guess."

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing, its just you seem to have changed a bit, we never used to do it.
But I am open to new ideas!!!"

"Something we got into the habit of doing whilst away," I said.

"Ok then, lets do that," Dan said.  So, we jumped back into the car and
drove up to the major car park and strolled down along the river.

"So, Kaz, what do you think we should do?" Robbie asked.

"About whether to tell them or not?  I figure that you should possibly, I
don't really know.  Cus, ahh, I don't know." Ok I was lost, it takes a lot
to get Kaz confused but it obviously did.

"Hey guys, I know we only just got here but erm, do you wanna go back to
our place?  We can set up the practice room.  I wanna show off to Jace and
Josh when they get down tomorrow," Robbie said.

"Sure, we need to get that done," Kaz said and Dan agreed, so we got BACK
into the car again and went home.

When we got in, we got a message saying that Jace and Josh had called and
would we phone them back?  The others went up to make a start while I
called them.

"Hello, Jace?" I questioned, when he picked up the phone.

"Hey Phill!!  How ya doin?"

"I am doin good thanks, what about you?"

"I am real good thanks."

"Cool.  Tomorrow, is it ok to pick you up at about ten and then come back
down here?  Then, we will go bowling or carting or something like that.
And so that we have more free time, mum has asked if you and Josh would
like to stay over and then go back the following evening?"

"Sounds like you have everything planned.  And it sounds great!  Can't wait
to see you at about ten.  You have our address, right?  And if you get
lost, then call me.  Is that ok?"

"Yea, that's great, but I will look you up on the map when I get a sec and
then hopefully, we will get there in one piece."

"Ok then, see ya, bye."

"Bye."

With that, I hung up the phone and as soon as I did, it rang again.

"Erm, Phill."

"Yes, Jace?"

"I have just sort of remembered something."

"Yes?"

"Well I promised that Josh and I would hang out with some friends.  They
are gay and our best friends also."

"Oh, well do they drive?"

"Erm, no."

"Ok then, what if I came up on my own and then you would have to squeeze in
at the back and I will warn you that it would be a squeeze but I will be as
quick as I can.  Is that any good?"

"Yea that would be great!! They will all be really excited about meeting
you, we have told them a lot about you!"

"Ok then, and are they gonna stay also?"

"Only if its ok with you and you have space."

"Oh, we have space.  And yes, it's fine."

I finished up, said bye, and went upstairs to find the PA set up and Dan an
Kaz working on her Kit with Robbie setting up the mics and plugging it all
into the recording desk and then through into the PA.  It means that
everything can be recorded and then we hear it, but it happens so quick you
can hardly hear any difference.

"And?" Robbie asked.

"They can come, but they have asked to bring a couple of friends.  Another
gay couple, I am afraid, Dan!"

"Ok.  That sounds cool.  So mass gay orgy that night then?"

"That's the one," I said, looking at Dan as he looked like he was gonna
puke!

"No WAY, guys!" he said, as we looked at him.

I walked over to Robbie and slipped my hand around him and said, "We
wouldn't want to, anyway, would we?"

"Hell no, its just in jest."

"See Dan, nothing to worry about, the worst you will have is the slurping
of three DIFFERENT couples!" I said, laughing.

"It doesn't even bear thinking about!" he said, but smiled at the same
time.

"Come on guys, we still have work to do!" Kaz said, as she brought us back
to the present.

"Ok.  Robbie, erm, you know that if there are four of them, then there
won't be space for all of us."

"Oh, course.  Ok then, well, why don't Dan and Kaz stay over tonight and
then I will have some company tomorrow morning. And then, if Kaz could get
her hands on her car, we could go over to the bowling together."

"Hey, that sounds pretty cool, could you guys do that?" I asked them.

"Sure we could, I mean it's the holidays ain't it?" Kaz said.

"Cool."

We then set back to work and listened to Bryan Adams album 'So Far So Good'
whilst we were working. We eventually had to stop when we realized that the
recording desk that had been left behind, by the previous owner, would
require an extra load of cables to connect all the things together.

"Shit" Dan cursed when he picked up the final cable before we ran out.
"Someone is going to need to run out and get some more quickly before the
shop shuts."

"Robbie, shall we go?" I asked.

"Sure." So I grabbed my keys from off the side and went to my mum and she
handed me an envelope and then I rejoined Robbie.

"Here ya go," I said, handing him the envelope.

"What's this?"

"Open it." He opened it up to find the spare key to my car and a little wad
of insurance documents that allowed him to drive my car legally.

"Wow, what do I say?" he said, totally gob smacked.

"You say, come here and then give me a hug, that will do."

"A hug?  I will give you more than a hug," he said as he ran around to me
and threw his arms around me and pressed his lips against mine.  His tongue
slipped into my mouth as I sucked on it.

When he broke off the kiss, he said "I love you babe.  I love you more than
anything.  You make me so happy, I have never ever felt what I do for you
before.  You do the simplest thing or the biggest thing" with a wave of the
car key "and I feel so alive, so full of love and I KNOW I could never live
without you."

How could anyone answer that?  The answer is, you couldn't, so I just
brought him closer to me and gave him the hug of his life.

"Robbie I love you sooooo much."  "I love you to," he said, as he gave me a
peck on the lips and went round to the drivers seat.

"Robbie, remember one thing, this is a bit more powerful than the one you
learned to drive in!"

"hehehe, ok then."

I was really impressed, the car is a bit of a beast to handle at first, it
has a turbo on it and the brakes are ultra sensitive, but Robbie handled
the car like a gem.

When we arrived at the music shop, it was just shutting up so Robbie pulled
in and I jumped out and got what we were after and then waited for Robbie
to come around from driving around the block. Finally, he appeared.

"Got them?"

"Yip," I said, and he drove off back to our house.  When we were on the
road to our house, we came up across Kaz driving her mums 4x4 back to our
place.  Dan was nowhere to be seen, so we assumed that he must still be in
the house.

"Use the horn," I said, and Robbie pressed down checked that the road was
clear and overtook her and I turned around to wave back at her.

She smiled and waved back.  And then pressed on the accelerator.

"Come on babes, show her what a BMW can do."

Robbie pushed down a fraction on the accelerator and the turbo did the rest
as we edged a significant way away from Kaz.  She responded with a change
up in gear and a little harder on the accelerator.  Robbie responded with a
greater push on the gas and we practically took off!  By this time we were
doing about eighty on the very straight country lane.

When we were getting close to the turning into the house Robbie, applied
the brake and slid down a couple of gears and turned in.

"Very smooth, almost as good as me!" I said as I pushed some hair that had
fallen over his face a little back behind his ears.

"Thanks!"

"Anytime!"

He pulled the car into a stopping place on the gravel drive and jumped out
and gave me a hug.

"That was great I know why you like it so much now!"

"Ah, but not as much as you," I said, giving him a kiss.

"That was quite good fun, wasn't it guys?" Kaz said, as she pulled up next
to us.

"Yea, pretty good, anyway, where is Dan?"

"He is inside, I had to drive mum home if I wanted the car so I nipped out
to drop her off."

"We managed to get the cables," I said, holding them up.

"Cool."

We continued chatting whilst we went upstairs to the recording studio.

"We are back Stud," Kaz called.

"HI"

We went in and changed the CD over to the queer as folk CD and finished
working.  When we looked up at the clock it read seven thirty.

"Wow guys, that was about six hours almost solid work!" I said.

"Yea, but its done!" Kaz said.  "Oh wow, Robbie turn the player up, I love
this song."

"Hang on I will put it through the PA." Robbie moved over to the desk and
changed a couple of things and restarted the track.

This has to be the best gay song in the world by the Weather Girls, 'It,s
Raining Men'.  For all you people that thought you had surround sound, you
ain't heard nothing until you have heard this!

Kaz, who was sitting down at her kit, had picked up her sticks and when the
bar restarted she went straight into it.  I looked over to her and she was
smiling.  I walked over and picked up my guitar and picked up the cords and
added myself in.  Of course, Robbie did the same.

We all looked at over at Dan almost expectantly.

"You want ME to have a part in producing 'It's Raining Men'???" he said as
if we were stupid.

"Why not??" I shouted above the music.

"Well, it's, I don't know but you know, its not.  Ah, balls," he said as
went over to the keyboard and started putting things in that we couldn't
produce on raw instruments.  All the crashes, etc.

I walked over to the CD player and paused it and when over to the mics.
Ready, put this down on tape, Dan (he had the recording desk).

"One, Two and Three," Kaz counted in. We slipped into the song nicely.  I
told you we were good. This was the first time we had considered playing
this song and it was good, a little rough around the edges, but not too
bad.  If you have never heard the song, it is worth getting it!  It
naturally has two parts to the singing, so Robbie and I split it equally.
We made one or two changes to the words, like "We're your Weather guys"
rather than girls, but I was really impressed.

"Ok guys, do you wanna see if we can get a few more tracks down on tape?"
Dan asked.

"Yea, it will give me something to listen to in the car!" I said.

So, until about ten o'clock, we worked on Savage Garden, Bon Jovi,
Stereophonics, Offspring, Green Day and others.  We had finally filled the
tape full of tracks.

After we were done, we went downstairs and fixed something to eat.  Then,
we crept upstairs to bed.  The advantages of having a sound proofed room
for recording!  Tim could still go to bed and we wouldn't disturb him.

I went over to Robbie and slowly removed his clothes, running my hand over
his smooth chest. I brought my lips to his and we kissed as the rest of our
clothes fell around our feet.  Robbie moved over towards the bed and pulled
me down with him so that I fell on top of him.  He lifted his legs up and I
moved around and found my target and pushed in.

"Aghh," he groaned, as I must have pushed up against his prostate.  I
slowly moved in and out until he was loose enough to move a bit quicker.

Robbie moved his hands down to my ass and kept pulling me in deeper.  I
moved in to kiss his neck and found that he was really sensitive around his
ears. As I pushed in again, Robbie's cock sprang into life and shot its
load inbetween our chests and during his orgasm, his muscles tensed up and
this sent me into over drive as I pushed into him for a final time and
emptied my load into him.

"Wow!" I said when I had got my breath back.

"No lube, either!" he said.  I had never thought about it.

"See if you can do me without lube," I said.

After a minute or two, he pushed in and it felt a hundred times better
without lube, nice and close. Robbie kept pushing in until he came and then
took hold of my cock and gave it a few pumps and I threw out my second load
in five minutes.  He slipped out of me and I pulled him to me and hugged
him.

"Love you."

"Love you too," he said, as we fell asleep together.

When I woke up, it was seven thirty and I slipped out of Robbie's arms and
had a quick shower and got dressed. After I had finished up, it was about
eight fifteen.  I leant over Robbie and kissed him on the cheek and left a
note saying that I would be back soon.

I grabbed my keys Sunglasses and demo CD that we had done yesterday an
headed out to my car.  I pulled away and out of the drive, I love the power
and the response you get from this car as I touched a little bit more on
the accelerator and felt the response as the car moved up another ten miles
and hour.  I slipped in the CD and we started with Bon Jovi, 'Livin on a
Prayer'.  I love this song, so I had to turn the volume up and slip on my
shades as I rounded the corner and was confronted with the sun.  When I
pulled out onto the motorway, my mobile rang.

"Hello?"

"Hi, babes."

"Hey babe, good sleep?"

"I have decided that I never want to wake up without you again!"

"I didn't like it either, but you looked so peaceful."

"I don't care, if you ever have to leave me again, I want you to wake me
up. K?"

"If you want.  Its not as much fun to have a shower on your own!"

"I bet!" he said with a laugh.

"And what do you mean by that?"

"Nothing, hurry back.  Missing you already."

"I won't be long. I am on the motorway and should be in Rochester in about
half an hour."

"Ok then, I will see ya in about an hour or so."

"Yea, you bet.  Love ya."

"Love you too."

"Bye"

"Byyyyyeee" I pushed down and the car jumped into action as I climbed two
gears and up into the fast lane.

About two seconds later, the phone rang again.

"Hello?"

"Hello, it's Josh."

"Hey Josh, what's happening?"

"Not a lot, just wondered where you are?"

"Am on the motorway about half an hour from you.  Will you be ready?"

"Course!"

"Ok then, see you soon."

"Yip, bye."

"Bye"

I carried on driving and through several songs.  I figured that we would
have to work on some more eighties songs if we were to do a good job for
James this Christmas.

When I finally got there, I pulled into a nice house with a tennis court on
the side.  As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Josh at the door and he
ran over and hugged me.

"Hey Phill, how are ya doin?"

"I am doin really good, thanks, you?"

"Good."

Then, I walked over to Jace and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
They introduced me to their friends Lee and Kevin.

"Hi there!  How ya doin?"  Kevin asked me. "We have heard a lot about you!"

"I am great thanks, how bout you?"

"Looking forward to getting away from this place and having some fun.  Say,
is that YOUR car??"

"Sure is."

"That is one hell of a nice pair of wheels ya got!"

"Thanks, I really like it.  Josh, can I use your toilet before we go?"

"Course you can, do you wanna drink?"

"Erm, no I will be fine, thanks."

"Ok then."

"Here ya go," I said, throwing them my keys. "Put your stuff in the back.
I am sorry, it's gonna be a bit tight, but my mums car is no bigger really,
so you are gonna have to squeeze," I said before I left to use the toilet.

When I came back, I found them all checking my car out.  I was kinda
embarrassed, but hey, I will live.

"You ready to go?"

"Erm no, we were just admiring.  Give us two secs."

They threw their stuff into the boot and Lee, Kevin and Jace climbed into
the back while Josh, the biggest one, got in the front.

I started up and drove away just as the CD moved onto its half way mark and
onto our version of Offspring 'The Kids Aren't Alright'.

"Way cool, turn it up, Josh," Lee said.  Josh leaned forward and turned the
volume up, so now it was really loud.  And I mean REALLY loud!

"Hang on, this isn't the original," Kevin said.

"No, it's me and some friends.  Robbie and I are singing and I play lead.
The drummer is Kaz, she is really nice, I mean you will all love her.  You
will have to treat Dan with care, cus he ain't all that hot on too much
public affection between guys.  But he is cool, just don't get too heavy."

"That sounds really neat, you sound almost perfect."

"Thanks.  Can I skip back to one that we only did yesterday?  I can promise
you will like it!  It's not punk, but it's cool."

"Sure, what is it?"

"Have you ever heard of a band called The Weather Girls?"

"Hell yes, they did 'It's Raining Men'.  That is the best gay song there
is!"

"Try this on for size," I said as I flicked back to track one and cranked
up the volume to almost the maximum. I must say that this sounded GREAT, it
wasn't as good as the originals, but they seldom are!

We just pulled out into the road that leads off past the town and then you
could reach the main road, when Jace saw someone he obviously knew. He
leaned forward and asked me if I would use the horn and accelerate past
this guy that was on the corner. I did as was asked and Jace, Kevin and Lee
turned round and gave this guy the finger.

"Ok, so what was that all about?" I asked, totally confused.

"THAT was William Salmon. And, he has been giving us shit since we told our
friends and the rest of the school that we were gay."

"Oh, how old is he?"

"15"

"Well, you tell him that he can cut the shit or he is gonna have a
problem."

"Way cool!" he replied.

"Put that track back again," Kev said.

So, I pulled down onto the motorway shades on music going surrounded by
friends and drove back to the bowling place, which was is in a town just
away from where I live called Margate. When we got in, I parked next to
what I thought was Kaz's car and headed on in with the others in tow.

When I saw Robbie, I fell into his arms and gave him a hug. "Sorry about
this morning, forgive me?"

"On one condition."

"That sounds ominous!"

"I get my morning kiss now."

"Now?"

"If you are sure."

"I am sure!"

So, I leaned in and gave him his morning kiss.

"Hey guys, calm down, you have only been apart for a couple of hours," Dan
said.

Well, when we did calm down, we introduced everyone and went off to start
our bowling.  Needless to say, we got some disdainful looks from the
attendant and he was very curt when dealing with us.  But, we just rose
above it and smiled, laughed and ignored him.  When we finally got to our
lane, we were lucky because it was backing up against the wall and the lane
next to us wasn't occupied.

We sat down while Dan was entering in all our names to the computer.  I was
quite pleased. There was a general hub of activity and constant chatter
between all people.  When Dan was finally done, Lee stepped up first and
played a ball that was heading straight down the center and was very
unlucky when it swerved away and only took a few pins down when it looked
like it was going to be a sure strike.  The game progressed on with Dan
taking up the lead and the rest of us following on behind.

When the game finished, I hadn't done all that well!  I managed to come 6th
out of the eight of us!  But hey, Robbie did very well, he came in second!

"So guys, do you wanna play again or do something else?" I asked.

"Well we could go grab something to eat or go to the front and spend money
in the arcade," Kaz suggested.

"I don't wanna play again!!" Kevin said.  He had come last!  But, he was
very good natured about it all!

"Ok then, well, we could grab the cars and head off back to our place, we
could go and get a coffee, or we could go go-kart racing and that is really
cool!" Dan said.

We made an executive decision to spend money big time and go spend some
more cash on Go-Karting at Port Richbrough (Its the best race track in the
area!)

So, we made a move and went back to the cars.  Lee and Kevin moved in with
Dan and Kaz and Robbie took his place by my side.  We started up and I put
the hood down and skipped forward a couple of tracks to our version of
Tears For Fears and 'Every Body Wants To Rule The World'.

"You guys can do quite a variation, can't you?" Josh asked.

"Yea, give us a song and we could probably play it!" Robbie said.

"Ok then, what about Travis and 'Writing To Reach You'?" Jace asked.

I didn't answer I merely skipped forward to track 12 and it came pumping
out of the speakers.

"KEWL!"  We had been following this old gal in a Nova and the time had come
to lose it. Kaz who was behind us was signaling for us to get a move on!
She is (if possible) a more impatient driver than I am!

We came onto a stretch of fast road and no cars coming the other way. "Hang
onto your hats!" I said, and moved down a gear and the engine throbbed into
action as I put on some speed and pulled out in front the old gal, Kaz
following very closely behind us!

When we finally got to the track, I was really up for some speed.  We paid
our way and got changed into the overalls and put on the helmets that they
insist you wear and moved out to the Karts. We had 15 laps and all for a
fiver!

I personally was really up for this and was going to enjoy it.  As it
happened, I was fifth out onto the track as you have to drive out of the
pit lane.  I instantly hit the accelerator and the response was poor!
Well, come on, I was used to instant action!

But, slowly, it sped up!  By the fifth lap I was up to fourth by the
seventh I was up to third and by ten I was up to second and challenging Kaz
of all people for first.  We got to the straight on the twelfth lap I
looked left and moved right and put my foot down.

I slipped down the inside of Kaz and up to first place.  Whoo!!!  By the
fourteenth, I had set a fast lap!  And the fifteenth I had to come into the
pits to finish the race!!

I was dead chuffed, first place!  When you finish, they take your photo on
a podium and give it to the winner as a 'free' gift.  Whilst I was waiting
for the others to come into the pits, I did some thinking and decided.

We all sat down and started chatting until we were called for the photo.
The guy that they have got taking the photos came over and asked if we were
all in it or just the top three?

I told him that it would be all of us.  We all moved over to the podium.  I
looked over at Robbie and held my hand out to him, the rest was up to him.
His choice, I had made mine.  I wouldn't mind either way, because it was a
big step to admit it publicly, so I just looked at him with a 'don't if you
don't want too' look.  He walked over to me and slipped his hand into mine
as I got onto the number one spot and put him in front of me and my arms
around his waist.  The guy looked at us and smiled.  Phew!  Dan and Kaz
took the number two spot and Kevin and Lee number three with Josh and Jace
standing bellow us.  We all had some sort of physical contact with our
partners, whether it be hands together or arms around the other.  We looked
at the camera and smiled as the photo was taken.  When it was, the guy
departed to get the thing processed.

"Well, looks like you have made your decision," Kaz said.

"Yea, I think so," Robbie said.

The rest of the day went well, we went home to our place and had some
burgers Jude had made and then Josh asked to hear some live music, so we
grabbed a couple of beers and headed up.

"This is quiet some place you got here," Lee said.

"Thanks, its kinda cool" I said. I flicked on the power and it was like the
bat cave, everything flicked on with a humming noise as we all took up our
place.  "Ok so what do you wanna hear?" I asked.

"What can you do?" Lee asked.

"Ok lets start with Bon Jovi, 'Livin On A Prayer'.  Dan, could we have the
mic up a bit, please?"

Dan did the intro and then Robbie with the base work, then Kaz and finally
I came in on lead.  Robbie did lead vocals for this one because he enjoyed
singing it.

When the times were appropriate, I came in to help Robbie on the vocals
because it was impossible for him to do the backing also. Half way through,
I elaborated on a lead that was already there but made it better.
Naturally, the song finishes on a fade out.  Of course, live music you
can't do that, really.  So, Kaz and I finish the song together with a
mother drum solo followed by a little guitar work to tidy the song up.

"Sounded very good!" Kevin said.

"Thanks!" I said "What now?"

"Ok how about Hanson?"

"Hehe, erm, you are joking?" I said.

"No, what's wrong with Hanson?"

"Well I don't know, they're so teeny bobber!"

"Maybe a bit."

"I don't think we can do that, we have never tried.  What about 'Lullaby'
by Shawn Mullins?"

"Don't think I have heard it," Lee said.

Dan started again with the mixing.  It was Robbie and me who sang this one.
This song did mean that I had to move to an electric acoustic guitar but
hey, who cares?

We went through a couple of other songs before we finished and went up to
Robbie and my room to play on the Nintendo.  I left them to a mass game
while Robbie and I went to check our e-mail account.

WE hadn't checked it since we left a couple of weeks ago but there were
only three new messages.  One was junk and so was just deleted.  The second
was a mail from one of our other friends, who not as close as the rest of
us, asking if we were having a good holiday and if we wanted to do
something sometime?  The third was worrying, it was an e-mail from and
unknown account with QUEER written in it.

"Ok, so what's that about?" I asked Robbie.

"I have not a clue, probably someone that saw one of our ad thing's on gay
youth UK."

"I hope that's it."

"I am sure it is."

When we had done that, we joined in with the current game of James Bond but
only to get pasted. Robbie and I simply ended up with him on top of me
kissing.

When the others said they were just about done for the night, we showed
them their rooms and left them to it.

Robbie and I, however, undressed and slipped into one another's arms and
slept thinking how well everything had gone to date.
