I THINK I'M IN TROUBLE



PART I



Chapter IX


(Felix)


I'm sad guys.., can you tell?  I am sad and I know I shouldn't be.., I have
no right to be.  But I can't stand it, I can't bear to watch him holding
onto her - and you know what?  It's only been a few days since I met him,
since he hit me!  But that doesn't even matter now.

Can you explain to me how something so deep, so real can happen in such a
short time as 3 days or whatever it is?  I am breaking all the rules here.
For a start he's a guy, and then the fact that he beat up on me, then the
fact he's my own cousin...

I know I keep going on and on bout this ad nauseum but these are the
thoughts of my mind and the feelings in my heart.  I'm probably gonna keep
running this through my mind until I can finally resolve it.., somehow.

He just gets to me.  Every time I make a right decision and try to detach
myself from him, my body, my heart and my soul go whole bunches of bananas.

I send the 'Keep away' signals but within seconds I am doing everything to
get near him again.  Mom once told me that some people can fall into the
trap of becoming 'Push-Pullers'.  They push people away and then pull them
back in again.., the person comes back out of love - only to be pushed away
again.  Momma says that nothin can ruin relationships and friendships like
the push-pull thang can.  And I am scared that I'm beginning to act that
way with Jake.  Especially with that withering look he gave me just before.
It don't take no expert to realize that push-pulling is a product of
insecurity.

It's all so new to me, I'm feeling things I ain't never felt before.
Emotionally I am going to places I didn't even know existed!  And so I'm
having all kinds of the worst reactions.  As much as I've been tryin to
repel him.., I want him.

There I said it - I want to be by him, I want to be the one in his arms and
I want to him to want me too.  A tingle rushes through me and I shift in my
seat, Mom looks over at me with a questioning smile .

"Ssssokay - damn seat" I grumble.

"Watch that mouth boy" she responds eyes back on the road.

I apologize and just like that my traitorous mind races quickly back to
it's favorite subject.  Like a dog with an itch it's just gotta scratch.
Man Jake looked hot today!  Phew I thought I was gonna expire today in the
office just sitting across from him, staring at him.

His jeans clad legs spread wide inviting me to cop a good look of his
pronounced manhood nestling just beneath the denim and his underwear... I
salivate haha.  Even just sitting there he gets me all hot! - Dang with a
Bang!

And when he moves, he moves like a big jungle cat, a real big jaguar.  I
read that jaguars are the most dangerous of adversaries because if they
decide to stalk you.., there ain't many options as far as hiding places go.

They can run extremely fast, leap jump and they are happy to swim if they
need to.  Jaguars are great swimmers...

They climb as well as leopards and they are patient, content to wait you
out.  They can dig holes like badgers and they are very VERY smart cats.
Dangerous, mobile, resourceful and deadly and beautiful.  Just like Jake -
and it's no wonder his Daddy's drivin one.

I just bet Jake would purr like one too.  Last night when we held one
another I could hear him kinda rumbling happily with pleasure hehe.
Holding him felt so incredible and I got drunk on his scent.  I really
wanted to run my fingers down his back and onto that exquisite ass.  I wish
I had the guts but I'm too scared.  He's like this big scary cat and I'm
some damn bush pig!  He would take one look at me and see me between two
slices of bread.  But maybe gettin keeeled would be worth it if it meant
gettin to touch his incredibly sexy body just once...

But regardless of my dirty little mind thinkin all those nasty things bout
him (his hunky body to be exact), I am trying my best not to let onto him
how I feel.  Like I said, it must be workin coz he sure don't seem to be
conflicted bout there being any possibility between me and him.  And of
course he wouldn't.., he's straight!  He's been slobberin all over Jessica
like jelly on a fish and I don't blame him, she's like WAY hotter than me
lol!

I got to get my mind off Jake and start out how I meant to start out in
this town.  Single, not looking, happy to be here, ready to make friends
and have lots of fun.  If only my mind could convince my heart coz I'm
kinda havin this problem.  I have a problem called Jake.  I spend all my
time these last few days just thinkin bout him.

I love the way he looks, the way he behaves and even misbehaves.  The
irresistable force of his being sends thrills through to the very core of
me.  When I look at him I get butterflies, the way his mouth quirks when
he's listening to someone talk.  I can already tell alot about what he's
thinking purely from his red, sensuous expressive mouth.  They way he looks
deep into my eyes whenever I talk to him can be kinda disturbing.  He
inspects my eyes and then he looks at my mouth...

Could it be that he is trying to discern the truth in my eyes from the
words that come out of my mouth?  When he looks at me he does this, but
there's somethin else he does which I believe is kinda unique to me.

I have watched him lookin at others and he sure don't do it with them..,
not even with Jessica so what does it mean?  What does it mean when he
licks his lips like that everytime? -- everytime he looks at me?  I think I
know, but I ain't sure if I want to know.

For someone who can be such a big brute he has the prettiest face.  Really
he does!  I think that if he wasn't such a scary monster-type guy he would
definitely be hassled for his perfect looks.  Many big guys I know are just
cuddly ole teddy bears but I assure you, Jake clearly is not.  He is a
large, dangerous dominant alpha male and everyone knows it the moment they
come into contact with him.., it's his way or the highway.

Earlier when I said that he was a rough diamond compared to Jessica's
exotic pearl? - well I wasn't talking about his looks.., I was referring to
his barbarian like behavior.

Why can't he just behave normal-like?  It ain't that hard to do - I mean
most of us manage to behave ourselves most of the time. But Jake somehow
manages to push boundaries everytime I see him.  He doesn't just push them,
he shoves and slams them right up the ass of life!

He plays by his own rules and if you don't play along you get 'monstered'.
His willingness to over-use sheer physical force is what really sets him
apart from the rest of us.  I understand that Clarke tried to put the
screws on me earlier this morning but with Jake it's very different.  He
doesn't just scare his adversarys, he scares EVERYONE!

I should be headin for the hills but instead here I am jumpin up and down
in front of him with all I got - yellin, 'Pick me! - Pick me!'
 The only hill I'm headed for is the big hill on top of which rests his
home, his lair.

But first we gotta go get the kids, I glance in the mirror and behind us
drives Ryan Maxson...  stalker!  All the others have gone on ahead and will
meet us 'Up top' as they say round here.  But Ryan wants to escort us
Jarrow's personally.  I should be flatterred but I ain't.  Momma is
'flatterred' enough for the two of us! - I sigh loudly.

"Oh Felix you jez quit that moanin an groanin boy!"  Momma says, readin my
mind.

"I'm just concerned for us Momma.  I'm afraid of what Ryan Maxson might do
to y'all"

She places her hand over mine for a moment.

"Darlin I am glad that you are concerned but I also want you to feel
confident that I ain't rushin off to jump in nobody's bed coz I know that's
what you're thinkin"

She's only half right.., It ain't 'Nobody' that I'm worried bout - it's
Ryan Maxson!

"Momma, jez remember what he done to us!"  I'm pushin my luck and I know
it.

"Now wait there Mister!" - she's rilin up.

"Now I love you like no other on this Earth but there's somethin I need for
you to know"

We pull up to the only traffic light in Forkridge.  She glances in her
mirror at Ryan Maxson's wicked green car, then she looks straight at me - I
look away.

"What happened back then was before your time Felix and I don't want it to
be on y'alls shoulders now!

I spoke briefly with Ryan today and he wants to make thangs right and
son.., I want to make thangs right also"

I bet I can think of one reason she wants to make things right!

We're drivin again but she's read my mind yet again... mothers!

"Don't you be thinkin thangs like that Felix!" she retorts, I slink down
into my seat.

"Like I said, I don't want you carryin on as if you personally were
slighted!

You were not there so just leave it to the ones who were!"  I huff sulkily
and she gives me a loving smile.

I take her hand and kiss it while we wait for an old lady to cross the
road.  The old lady gives Momma a smile and a wave but she glares at me and
I'm like 'What?!? - do I have horns growin outta my head or somin?' - Momma
is speaking again.

" -- can't make this decision all on my own son, but for a long time the
family has wanted nothin more than to have peace and to know Jake.

And now we have the opportunity and son.., if you wanna be mad bout somin -
jez don't let it be bout the past honey..,

The past is a destroyer when you use it like that, and you jez too young
and precious my baby!"

She tears up and I roll my eyes.., women...

I clear my suddenly blocked up throat and try a different tack.

"So Momma y'all think he's hot dontchya!"  I smirk and giggle.

She checks his whereabouts in the mirror and blushes before responding...

"Honey, that is one Hell of a man and ain't no woman can deny it!"

'Not just women Momma' - I'm thinkin to myself...

"And baby it makes me feel good bout myself that someone like him
appreciates me" she looks at me guiltily.

"I know I'm weak honey and I know nothin will come of this but it was just
nice to feel desirable for once"

Now my Momma is a beautiful woman and even though she's gettin old (Hehe),
she's still got it.

To be honest Ryan Maxson looks significantly younger than her so I guess
that's one reason she's so flatterred.., although they must be bout the
same age.

With his money he can afford to sit there lookin pretty all day where-as my
Momma has had to work all her life just to get by and it does show in the
crows feet around her eyes and scrubbed look to her hands.

But to me she is beautiful, and she will always be so.  My eyes tear up a
lil and I grab Momma's hand and kiss it again.  If Ryan Maxson dares hurt
her I will have satisfaction!  Or at least I will kill myself tryin.

"Well Momma if he comes sniffin round, get us lots of money ok?!?"  I grin,
my teenage logic ringing out.

"Darlin what do y'all take me for?"  Momma places her free hand over her
chest and we both laugh.

"Well if he comes to our house I think I will charge him like in a
restauraunt" I laugh but Momma is considering my thought more seriously
than I wanted her to.

"Hmmm that might be a good idea honey, we can return the favor by havin
Ryan and Jake over to dinner"

Ryan aaaaand Jake... double trouble, Momma is still goin on.

"Yes I would love to have Ryan Maxson for dinner -- I mean TO dinner" she
should have hushed up coz I wouldn't have noticed the slip that way but too
late - I'm onto it!

I smirk at her reddening face "Y'all wanna have him for dinner huh Momma? -
Hehehehe"

"No I said TO dinner" she blushes her mauve eyes sparkling with mirth.

"Y'all said FOR"

"I said TO"

"FOR" - "TO" - "FOR" "TO"

"FOR, FOR, FOR, FOR, FOR"

"Arrrgh y'alls brought me down to y'alls level!!!"

"Hehe Mom you really like him dontchya!"

"Baby what's not to like! - that boy is 100% prime American beef ho ho ho!"
she crows evilly.

I laugh back kinda shocked but I love to see my Momma happy.

I let loose my famous happy wolf howl and Momma responds with a good ole
rebel yell!

"Awwwooooooooo!!!"

"Yeee Haw!!!"

What must Mr Maxson be thinkin?

***

We pull into Forkridge Tots, the local childcare center which is fully paid
for and maintained by CE Maxsonite & Sons.  The Maxson's take real good
care of their hometown.  Unlike some places in West Virginia, Forkridge
ain't run down or forsaken.  The Maxson's see to that.  She's got nice
roads, lots of trees and cool parks, finely painted buildings and a great
water supply!  I noticed they even subsidize the costs over at the big ole
general store down on Main St.  Things are way cheaper there than they
usually are.  This is one lucky lil town.

Ryan's car glides in beside my door.  Momma signals to him that she's
headed inside and won't be a moment.  Like DUH! - where else is she gonna
go?

He just smiles and nods, oh my he's hot!  I am lucky I'm all tangled up in
Jake coz his Dad is definite crush material.  Eeeek I think he's caught me
staring!  He winks at me and I blush.  I feign boredom and slip down into
my seat. I pull out my ipod and select my favorite Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
song -- 'Your Guardian Angel'.

I'm thinkin to myself, can this really work out?  They're so rich and we
jez white trash really.  They are sophisticated and we are down home and
simple.  They so beautiful and whatever looks we have will fade quickly as
we head into the mines (for me) or have kids and struggle to feed and
clothe them (Mom).

If I could afford it I would maybe go and study architecture.  I have
always had a fancy for such things and I look forward to checkin out Jake's
house for design information.  We Jarrow males are so used to just headin
straight down the mines that not one of us has ever been to college.  I
have not even considered getting a scholarship because I just expect to go
to the mines.  No one in the family has even asked me if I wanted to do
anythang different.  The guidance counsellor at my old school didn't bother
to ask me.  He knew where I was headed.

We been lucky for Uncle Gary and Lord what's he gonna make of today?!?  I
sigh and steal another look at Jake's stunning dad. He's talkin on what
looks to be one very cool cell phone.., running his hand through his
perfectly cut hair - 'Please Sir.., let me do that for you!'  Maaaan he
makes me hyper-ventilate.  It's funny he's only 4-5 feet away, but it may
as well be a world apart.  There he is in his late model Jaguar XL
whatever-it-is.., and here am I in our 1997 Honda Accord, nicknamed 'Humble
Hondo' by Mom.  Yep, world's apart.

Mom comes walkin out the door holdin hands with Abigail who's skipping
along singing somin and probably in perfect tune.  Behind her I spot lil
Shaun, he's asleep in the arms of the one and only... Lenore.

Mr Maxson gets out of his car to help with the kids, he doesn't really have
to...

Abigail, curious as always wants to know who the nice man is.  Lucky for
her it wasn't me who answered that one.  It's nice to see there is some
justice in the world.  Lenore's reaction to Ryan was priceless!  Clearly
she obviously knows him already coz he was remarking on how grown up she
looks - not sure if he was implying anything by that.

She has the classic deer caught in the headlights look haha, the effect she
likes to have on others has just been paid back to her - even if
unwittingly.  She stands there hands clasped together not knowing what to
do with herself.  Just as well she has already put lil Shaun in his seat,
she might have dropped him!  We get ourselves set and start off again this
time behind Ryan.

Ryan's invited Lenore 'Up top' since she will be babysitting in three hours
time.  She's gonna return with us straight to our house.

"You doin ok there Lenore?"  I ask innocently.

She's in the back between Abigail and the still sleeping lil Shaun, Lord
that boy can sleep through a hurricaine hehe.  Abby is nodding off too, I
like the car coz the car makes the kids sleep.

Lenore fans herself and gives a hearty laugh.

"Golly is that guy sexy or what?!?" she exclaims.

"I hear ya!"  Momma testifies.

They proceed to gush about all the fine attributes of one R. Maxson.

I smile and go back to my ipod, I like Lenore... I think we gonna get on
jez fine.


***



I could tell this place was gonna be somin special the moment we reached
the access road at the bottom of the hill.  I ain't gonna call it a
driveway coz like it took 15 minutes to get up the thang!

There's one of those barrier arm thangs with yellow and black stripes at
the bottom to stop folks jez drivin on up.  You could walk up I guess if
you dare...

Ryan's car approches and it auto-raises gaining both him and us entrance to
Never Never Land.

The road up was nice and smooth and the view of the town was great!
There's a long white stripe in the middle of the road all the way up with
those cool blue reflector doodacky's every 20 feet or so.  You know those
thangs that go Faahklumpt! - if'n y'all drive over them?  Their driveway is
hella cool!

There are even lights every 100 feet or so and on top of some of them I
spot camera's.  I wave and poke my tongue out at each one we pass until Mom
rains on my lil parade.

To one edge there is a strong reinforced steel barrier after which there's
nothing but sheer cliff.  On the other side is a very steep rocky bank on
top of which grow the huge trees of a virgin forest.

Before you get to the actual flat plateau at the top of the mountain you
hit some serious heavy duty security work.  Firstly there is this 15 foot
high 4 feet thick wall with a line of prickly wire running along the top of
it.  Lenore advises that it's not only barbed but electrified as well and
it goes right round the whole estate and you can't even dig under it... You
wonderin how she knows all this? - her Daddy's the Sherriff and he just
knows aight?

The road leads us to some big nasty no frills gates that even a tank would
struggle with.  There's an office just inside the gate and a couple of
uniformed guards wave us through.  They ain't fat or old either.  They are
fit and they don't look friendly.  As we pass through I can hear dogs
barking in the distance, they ain't cute puppy dogs either by the sound of
them.  The noise startles lil Shaun awake but his cries are quickly soothed
by Lenore's attentions - lucky boy.

Now we actually go through yet another perimeter fence before we get to the
mansion/palace thang.  This one is much more decorative although no less
functional.  It's a grand lookin 12 foot high iron wrought fence with
pretty but still nasty lookin guilt spikes on top.  The gateway is a
massive 35 foot tall marble arch with fine scuplted images of miners and
hunters inlaid.  Someone clearly wanted to impress any housecallers.  The
arch is as wide from end to end as maybe two school buses and it's as deep
as one as well.  Halfway inside the arch is another inner office thang
inside of which is an older uniformed man.  And he also looks fit and trim
but seems much friendlier than the other guys.  He waves and pokes his
tongue out at me as we drive through the brightly lit archway tunnel.  I
laugh and give him the thumbs up.

Because of all the tall trees planted about 20 feet back from the fence you
actually don't get to see the main house until you get through the arch.  I
guess that was intended.

Jessica is like soooo right! -- Maxson Eyrie is total overkill, I can't
believe it!  It's huge, are ya listening to me?

It. is. HUGE!.

I thought it was some kind of damn limestone/marble hospital or somin.
It's like 5 storeys high with an enormous low domed central block and huge
wings to the left and right and probably round the back as well.  There are
towers at each end and a real tall central tower in the middle that even
has a clock in it like dayum!  There are manicured lawns with those dinky
lil hedge thangs bordering them.  Rock gardens water features and perfectly
pruned trees.  There's a large central oval lawn out front and a pretty
cool water fountain of a stone bear pawing for salmon while two lil cubs
frolick at her feet.

The road in the immediate area of the archway is cobbled in dark ochre
pavers and there is another normal road off to the side leading to what
looks like a small town or somin through the trees.  We follow the yellow
brick road.  I can't believe it.., Jake lives HERE?!?  No wonder he's such
a brat lol!

Well we were whisked through to this large and simply amazing glasshouse
place.  This butler dude told us lunch would be served in 30 minutes and we
would be joined by the Master and Mistress of the house.  Is that like
Jake's Grandfolks?  Meanwhile he points the way to the 'ladies powder room'
(his words) and the 'gentlemans retreat' before directing us to a table
with a huge bowl of red punch and other beverages.  Two maids in gray and
white attend the table.

Everybody else looks pretty comfortable.  Jessica is talkin to some real
and I mean REAL ancient lookin black woman who's lolling in a rocking
chair, who is she?  Clarke, Junior and their girlfriends are walkin down
below us on a cool lower level of the glasshouse canoodlin and making up I
guess.  They must have busted their gals out of school to join them for the
afternoon hehe.  Lenore is showin the kids all the pretty flowers and water
courses and I can see the Sherriff and Clarke's pretty Mom chattin and my
Mom and Ryan Maxson have just joined them.

I walk through a little arch and down a winding path to a secluded garden.
I can't even hear the others anymore, this place is so humungous...

 A calligraphied metal sign says 'Occidental Fernery'.

I stand there lookin at all the wonderful hanging boston ferns and other
types of ferns growing out of the white pebble strewn ground.  Little
fountains of resting angels made of precious jade stone make tinkling
sounds.  Wow this place is like sooo peaceful!  My heart sinks though
because it's too much.., it's beyond me.  I flush feeling ashamed that I
had Jake over to my house yesterday and this is what he comes from... this
is what he is used to.  And he acted as if it didn't matter none.  He did
not indicate that my house was just lame.  But I bet he was thinking it.


Two warm smooth hands cover my eyes,

"Guess who?" a minty smelling voice feathers across my ears.

My back straightens and my body instinctivelty leans back into him.  I
sigh.., I'm relaxed but I'm also on edge at the same time.

He responds to me leaning into him.  One hand covers both my eyes now and
the other wraps itself around my chest and down to my tummy.

I let forth a strange happy little whine and he growls.

He speaks.., "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please you gotta forgive me"
he kisses my left ear.

HE KISSES MY EAR!

My left one!

"Please Felix?" he moans.

"Jake" I whisper raggedly.

"Jake you kissed me!"

"When?"  he's messin with me surely, he's still behind me... got me all
wrapped up.  I can die now I can leave this world happy now.

"You did Jake.., you did"

His right hand is now removed from my eyes, no use in playing peek-a-boo
now is there.

He angles around to my right ear and licks it.

He is hard, his rod lengthening all the way up my back - well it seems that
way.  He kisses my ear and traces his tongue around the edge of my lobe
slipping the bottom tip into his mouth and suckles it.

I arch up into him, I've never felt like this before.

"Mmmmmmmm" he groans.

I can't believe this! - what does it mean? -- who the Hell cares?

I'm sorry guys but I think I'm gonna jizz!

"Jake you gotta quit, you're drivin me crazy!"

He laughs ironically and rasps out..,

"You drive ME crazy"

"No seriously Jake!"  I gasp...

"I can't.., I can't - Aaaaaaarghhh!"

I just did! - oh noooo!

"Felix are you alright man?" he whispers half incredulous stare, half
self-satisfied grin.

"You evil jrrrrraaargggh! - you just made me cum!" I accuse as an awful
sticky sensation runs down my legs.

"Shhhhhh people will hear us Felix!"

"Jake what am I gonna do! - look what you done to me!?!"  I am hysterical,
almost in tears.

We are facing one another and he just grabs my chin and kisses me full on
the mouth.

It wasn't even for very long but it did the trick..., I'm stunned into
silence.  He grins wolfishly, takes me up into his arms effortlessly and
leaps into the fern garden lightly, taking us both into the thicket and
onto an unseen little path that leads to a little green door.

Through the door we go and we emerge into a garden workshop, it's empty.

He lopes over to a desk grabs the telephone and calls someone.  Yes I'm
still in his arms, still speechless...

I wrap my arms around his neck and nuzzle into him, smelling his beautiful
skin.

He's talkin to some woman called Gloria, instructing her to tell some lady
called old Carol that I fell into one of the fernery fountains 'by
accident' and he's taken me to his room to get changed.

Meanwhile I'm in hog heaven, I lick his ear this time and he bends his
knees and chuckles sweetly... hmmmmm ticklish...

He turns and looks at me and I plant one on him.  I jez kiss his born for
kissin lips and he responds like a fevered man.

He lifts me up a lil higher and our tongues surge against one another.., He
is the crashing ocean tide, and I am the sea-wall.

GONG! - the clock strikes one and our fervor is momentarily broken.

But not for long, he kisses me again just three short wonderful sweet
kisses.

"Come with me baby" he says earnestly, brilliant blue-violet eyes spitting
out sapphire sparks of elemental desire.

Yes I'm still in his arms...

"Jake I kinda have no choice but to go with you DUH!" I smile and kiss his
dimpled cheek.., I can feel him groping my ass and I grooooaaaan...

He smiles wickedly... "Oh yeah, so you are!"

Meanwhile my mind has been knocking at the door of the house my dick lives
at....

<Hello? -- Hello, come out from there Mr Dickhead!>

<Yeah whaddya want, cantchya see I'm busy!>

<He called us B A B Y>

<Oh like WOW he called us BABY>

... I think he's driven me round the bend, I've finally gone nutsomatic.

I did not notice but we are suddenly in a stark cold corridor waiting for
an elevator to arrive.  Jakes tells me somewhat apologetically that it's
called a 'Service Elevator'...

"Ohhhh, you sneakin me in the backdoor way huh?" I kiss into his pretty and
silky soft hair.

His eyes glaze over with lust

"Did you say... 'Back... door?"

We both burst out laughing and hug one another as the elevator arrives.

DING!

He jumps in and dials up the top floor and we're off.  I signal to him that
he can let me down now, but he holds on even tighter.  He's not even
feeling any strain and I ain't light.  I stand 6'2" and a bit and weigh in
at 185...

Dang he's strong.  Dang he's gorgeous. Dang he's beautiful. Dang he kissed
me. Dang he called me B A B Y!!!

Ding Dong!

We have reached the top floor and the doors open straight into the wide
reception area of another service corridor.

"Don't worry baby" he whispers in my ear - kissing me as well...

"There's nobody up here, this area is all mine" he licks and then kisses my
nose, has an afterthought and kisses it again.

"We goin to your room Jake?"

"Unnh huh" he's sniffin my hair

"I can wash up there and get changed, can I wash my clothes there and dry
em?"

"Unnnh huh - eventually" One hand is under my butt and the other is now
nestled in the back of my hair.

I'm kinda gettin my wits back now...

"Jake don't you think maybe we better slow down here, I mean this is like
crazy..."

"He starts kissing me again"

"Jake stop! - I know what y'alls tryin to do!"  I squirm but I'm still
kissing him back...

He gets a big 'Awwwww pleeeeaaase???' expression on his face and snuggles
into me and whimpers.  That plaintive lil sound just poleaxes me!  I think
I am falling in love with Jake Maxson.

I think I'm in trouble!!!

We get to a door, I hear a beep sound and we walk into a beautiful totally
mind bogglingly huge bathroom ensuite thang.

"Jake we gotta calm down please, and talk bout what the Hell just
happened!"  He looks rebellious...

"Awww hey now!"  he whines as he sits me on top of an exquisite vanity
basin bench made of polished fossilized stone.  I can see tiny lil
starfish, sea shells and sea-snail shells in pink, gold and white - like
WOW!

Jake places his hands on either side of me leaning towards me...

"Kiss first please? - then talk? -- pleeeease Felix?"

Who am I to refuse the man?

"Come here sweety" my hands go round his neck...

We kiss and we kiss and we kiss...

GONG! Bing Bong!

That damn clock strikes half past one.

(Miss Carole)

I can smell it... there is trouble in de air.  Bout 5 storeys up in de air
by now I'm reckonin.  Jes-kah been tellin me how she don't feel too good
bout her an my Jake.

I jez bout to try an rally her, try an courage her and then I saw the boy.
He is beauty per-son-i-fied.  I do declare, I can see what got de
neigh-bor-hood doin a fine hootnanny.  That boy got de same look as a lil
gal young Ryan brought home that one time I met her.

And I am jez bettin, Maser Jake got de same look that hims Daddy had on his
own face many a year ago.

It ain't no matter of thems bein both males or nothin.., it's all in de
blood.

You see.., their blood sings out to one another.

Jarrow blood and Maxson blood, it has always been so, it will always be so.

I do believe that de first time Maser Ryan and Miz Shonta first met, was
not the first time de two bloods mingled.

And now they together again.

Tell me Lord what is to come?

Please Lord let it be good...


Miss Carole contemplates the darkened windows of the fifth level quarters.
She notices that hers are not the only eyes watching that place.

So are Jessica Thomases' and so are Ryan Maxon's.
