Jared the Paramedic - Volume II
Chapter 5 - Jack and Molly


It was Saturday morning, and the two of them actually slept in until 09:00
am.  Jesse woke up first and was laying there watching Zane sleep cuddled
up to him.  He kept asking himself if these were feelings of friendship he
felt, or more.  Jesse was worried about disrespecting Marc by finding
someone else, but he did enjoy Zane's company immensely.

Zane opened his eyes to see Jesse staring at him.  He thought to himself
about how he was beginning to enjoy seeing Jesse in his apartment and bed,
but he knew he hadn't put any roots down yet.

"Good morning," said Jesse.

"Good morning," replied Zane.  "What are you up to?"

"Nothing.  I was just looking at the guy who made a difference in my life,"
said Jesse.

"You made the difference in your own life Jesse, not me."

"You get to meet a couple of special people tonight at dinner.  I've known
them as long as I can remember Zane and they have always been like a second
set of parents to me.  I haven't seen them since I left on my journey."

"I'm looking forward to meeting them, Jess."

"I'm scared, Zane."

"Why are you scared, Jess?" asked Zane with concern.  He reached out and
stroked Jesse's hair.  Jesse snuggled into him.

"I haven't seen them in six months, and I feel like I've disappointed them.
I ran away from everything, and left it in their hands to look after."

"Jesse, you are worrying too much.  They're coming to see you.  They are
dropping everything to come and see you and if they were upset with you, I
don't think they would be doing it."

"You're probably right," Jesse said simply. "Zane, would you be offended if
I told you I am really beginning to enjoy these morning cuddle and talk
sessions we have?"

"No, I wouldn't Jesse, because I enjoy them too.  I am beginning to look
forward to waking up with you each morning and our chats," said Zane
carefully.

Jesse didn't say anything for a moment, but then said, "Thank you for being
the man you are, Zane."

Zane leaned over and kissed the top of Jesse's head.  Jesse giggled a bit.

"I need to get up and use the washroom, Jess" said Zane as he started to
break free.  Jesse pulled him back into bed.

Zane looked at him, and Jesse moved in for a very tender, lingering kiss.
When he finished, Jesse sat back and laid flat on his back.

"Jess, that was the best one yet," said Zane.  He could see Jesse had a
tent pole sticking up under the sheet, about the same size as his tent pole
in his own shorts.

"Thanks Zane, you too," Jess replied.

Zane got up and ran to the washroom.

They took the taxi to the restaurant and were escorted into a private room
Jack had reserved.  It was rather large for four people but Jack wanted
everyone to speak freely and privately amongst themselves.  When Jesse came
into the room, Molly came out of nowhere and took him off his feet in a
hug.  Molly is a beautiful woman who runs, uses the weights, and looks more
like a 45 year old than the 58 she really was.  They both had tears rolling
down their cheeks.

"Momma Molly, it's so good to see you."

"Jesse-boy, I've missed you so much.  I'm still torn between spoiling you
rotten and beating your ass black and blue over my knee."

Jesse cautiously answered, "I hope you made up your mind to spoil me."

"The jury is still out son, and they may return with the verdict for both,"
she laughed.

As soon as Molly let go, big daddy Jack to her place.  Jack is 59 years old
who looks like a 49 year old.  His build is still very much like in high
school football with broad shoulders on 6'5" height.  If he was to walk up
to someone in the dark, most people would pass out or piss themselves in
fear.

"Son, it so good to hug you again finally," said Jack.

"You too Daddy Jack, I missed you and Molly the most of everyone."

Jack let him go and with his big mitt, he reached up and put his hand on
Jesse's head proceeding to mess up his hair.  Molly started laughing.

"Daddiiiieeeeee.....you messed my hair," sulked Jesse.  Molly and Jack
hugged him again but together this time.

Zane was watching the events unfold in front of him.  With the love he
sensed and felt radiating off the three people in front of him, if he
hadn't known who they were he would have easily thought they were Jesse's
real parents.

"Jack and Molly, I would like to introduce you to my friend, Zane," said
Jesse proudly.

Jack and Molly stood and looked at Zane, and for once, Zane was squirming
under the scrutiny of the two people.  Molly raised the hand and gave him
the 'spin around, let's get a look at you' gesture.  Zane complied.

Finally, Molly spoke.  "Not bad Jesse, and he does have a firm little
butt."  Jack coughed, his wife catching him off guard.

Jesse was stuttering, "I never said....."

Molly had already approached Zane and wrapped him in a big hug.  "Don't
mind us Zane, I like doing that to people."

Zane replied quickly "You had me going, Ma'am."

"Cut the Ma'am shit. Call us Molly and Jack."

"Yes Ma'am" he said with a smile.  Jack laughed.

They found seats at the table and Jack suggested they order before they get
talking or no one will ever eat.  A very distinguished man came into the
room with wine for everyone and Jack spoke to him in Cantonese.  The man
was very impressed with Jack, as was Zane.  The man was actually the owner
of the restaurant and was going to oversee the meal for his VIP clients
tonight.

Zane was watching carefully as Jack spoke with him, and even Molly joined
them with her Cantonese.  Jesse leaned over to Zane, "They learned
Cantonese because of the amount of clients their firm has who prefer to
speak it over English."  Zane nodded his understanding.

Jack spoke up.  "Jesse, as this is your special night, would you order for
all of us?  Plus, I think you and Zane could pick put the dishes he likes.
You know we'll eat anything you order."

The owner came around and stood by Jesse.  "If you're ready to order Sir."

Zane noticed Jesse was reading the Chinese part of the menu, not the
English.  Jesse spoke in perfect Cantonese to the Owner, ordering the meal.

The man complimented Jesse in English.  "You spoke that like a native,
young man."

Jesse stood and bowed to the man.  "I am humbled by your compliment and I
had a very good teacher, sir."

The man left the room.

"You speak Cantonese, Jesse?" said Zane.

"Yes I do.  It was actually easy to learn and having a photographic or
eidetic memory didn't hurt, either."

"That's why you could quote reports word for word you had read in my
office?" asked Zane.

"Yes, I've had it ever since I can remember and I don't even think of it as
not being normal," replied Jesse.

"He speaks a couple more languages Zane, and he keeps it all pretty
nonchalant about his abilities and skills," added Molly.

"Wow, I can see where that would help you with clients in some situations,"
said Zane.

Jesse smiled. "It does, and I would do just about anything to be able to
represent my clients properly."

"That sounds more like my little Jesse," stated Jack.  "Tell us about your
travels Jesse, I mean now that we are here and we're not on the phone, you
can probably tell more stories to us."

Just before Jesse started to speak, a couple of waiters came in with soup
and appetizers.  After they left, He started talking about his travels.
Both Molly and Jack interjected with questions and Zane sat back and
watched all three of them interact as the stories progressed.

The meal began to arrive and soon the entire table was covered in plates of
food.  Zane had never seen so much food at one time on a table for so few
people.  Jesse pulled right over next to Zane and showed him how to use the
chopsticks.  Their physical contact and Jesse's mannerisms with Zane caught
the attention of Jack and Molly.  Jack and Molly locked eyes while the men
were busy and he raised his eyebrow sending Molly a signal.  She just
smiled back at him.  They watched Zane master the chopsticks very quickly.

Molly explained the different dishes to Zane because Jesse and Jack were
too busy eating; actually they were just packing their faces with food.
Molly reached over and smacked Jesse once during the meal for trying to
throw a calamari ring over Jacks chopsticks. The group chatted, told jokes
and even some stories coming out about Jesse while he was growing up.  Zane
was laughing right along with everyone.

"Zane, tell me about the Centre you run.  From what I have read about it,
it is a first class operation."

Zane was surprised by Jack complimenting him on what he had read about the
centre.  'He's been checking into us,' thought Zane.  He started talking
about the programs and the potential of the new programs.  Both Jack and
Molly were very interested in what Zane had to say.

"Do you have any Corporate Sponsors," asked Jack.

"No sir.  I haven't done too much work in that area but there have been a
few businesses who are good to us," replied Zane.

"Well Zane, you have your first Corporate Sponsor.  McCoy and Associates
will not only be handling your legal issues but we will be assisting in
other ways.  One of which is our client who wants to spend some money on a
worthwhile people based charity, and we will be matching his donation."

Zane was stunned.  He reached out for Jesse's hand and grabbed it.  Jesse
grabbed it back, with a smile on his face.

"You're serious, Jack?" asked Zane.

"Very serious, Zane.  I've already pulled a lot of information on your
centre including funding reports and anything I else I could get through
normal public sources.  I'm impressed with everything I saw and even the
people I spoke with had nothing negative to say about you.  In fact, they
all praised you, Zane."

Zane was shocked.  It took him a moment to regroup his thoughts before he
said, "You've been checking us out?  You've been checking me out?"

"Yes.  You don't know me Zane, but I don't pull punches.  I have checked
you out because there is a considerable amount of money which has the
potential to be spent on your Centre.  I won't speak specifics yet, but the
client is looking for a building to buy so you can move into better
facilities and be able to have the space to run your programs.  We are
talking a lot of money, Zane.  Plus, I will be your front man to find
additional corporate sponsors."

Zane sat there with mouth open. "I can't believe this."

"The only thing I need from you is an audit of your financial records by
our people," said Jack.

"No problem and you can do it anytime you would like," replied Zane.

"I'll have people there on Monday by 10:00 am" replied Jack.

"You don't mess around, Jack."

"Not that Zane.  I want the last hurdle cleared so we can go ahead with
what we are planning without delay.  We have won you a couple more months
from your landlord rent free, Zane, but we need to get moving."

"Wow.  That's for real?"

"Yes, I helped Robert with the file and it progressed through both of our
efforts."  Jesse smiled at Jack.

Molly spoke up now.  "Zane, I've been working with Jack on this and after
the audit, I will be helping you out as well. We can talk more about that
later because I suspect you're overwhelmed already."

"I appreciate that Molly and I am overwhelmed right now.  To be honest, I
was scared shitless of meeting you two tonight, and now I am having all my
dreams answered," said Zane.

"Why would you be scared of us?" asked Molly.  "Jack I understand because
he is so big and potentially intimidating, but how could I scare you?"

"You two are the most important people in Jesse's life, and he loves the
two of you so much.  Most importantly, he respects you two and needs your
approval in his life. In fact, when I watched you three together earlier in
your reunion, if I hadn't known some of Jesse's history, I would've sworn
you were his natural parents from the love you three shared with each
other.  The body language between the three of you was sincere and
beautiful.  Also, you're a team and you two tag team.  You've both been
sending very subtle signals to each other all night after I answered
questions and before a topic changed in our discussion," replied Zane with
a serious look on his face.

Jack had a big smile on his face when he turned to Molly.  "The kids good,
Molly."

Molly was smiling too.  "Yes, he's very unassuming and much more subtle in
his observations than I gave him credit for, but he doesn't miss much.
Look at his eyes, and the deep cognition within them."

"Yes, I saw that.  When he formulates an answer, his right eyebrow
twitches," replied Jack.

Zane was unsure what to say until Jesse broke in.  "It has been fun to
watch the three of you playing games with each other tonight.  Mom and Dad,
I think you've met your match in Zane."

Jack smiled "I agree, and I really look forward to working with you in the
future."

Zane was finally smiling. "Not as much as I am looking forward to working
with both of you.  I have a lot to learn and would consider it an honour to
learn from you two."

"I want dessert," Jesse interjected to change the topic.

Zane reached over and patted Jesse's stomach.  "You still have room in
there for food?"

"He can always eat dessert," said Molly.  The waiter had been in the
background and Molly said something to him in Chinese.  He ran out of the
room.

"Zane, would you please tell us about you?  You are such a gifted young man
with spirit, imagination and such drive it has been a pleasure to share a
meal with you tonight," said Molly.

Zane sat for a minute, looking at the table.  He hadn't even told Jesse
yet.

Molly spoke up again, "Zane, I didn't mean to put you on the spot if you
would prefer not to or just tell us how you got into this line of work?
You passion for your work is so contagious."

Zane cleared his throat, and started his story with his father and step
mother.  Jesse moved over next to him and put his arm around Zane's
shoulders.  He continued with the story about his boyfriend cheating on him
and then assaulting him at the same time as the young man he had been
fucking when discovered.  He explained how he took the young man into the
centre and helped him, even reconciling with the victims' family.

"Molly, it's been a few years since the problem with my boyfriend, and I
haven't dated anyone.  I threw myself into my work as compensation and
penance for something I must have done wrong to cause it.  Over time, I
realized it was his problem, not mine.  I really haven't had a friend until
Jesse and I met."  Zane turned his head to look at Jesse, who was smiling
back at him.

Jesse jumped in quickly.  "Zane and I are good friends, and we seem to be
able to talk to each other easily.  We also enjoy our time together too.
Molly, he gave me great hugs when I had nightmares the first couple of
nights that I was in the apartment, and they have stopped coming to me
altogether.  From the first moment we met, we've had some sort of deep
connection."

"I want you two to know we are sharing a bed to sleep in.  We've found we
both enjoy being with someone, but we're just good friends.  I haven't even
seen him naked yet and we are not fucking like little bunnies," said Zane
with a smirk.

Molly spit her tea out through her nose and Jack started laughing at her.
Jack high-fived Zane over the table just before Molly smacked his
leg. Jesse was almost falling out of his chair from laughing so hard.

"I can't believe he got you, Mom," said Jesse, one word slowly at a time
between laughing.

Molly smiled and gave Zane thumbs up.  "That's payback for checking out
your ass, Zane." She stood and moved around the table where Jesse was
leaning over laughing.  She cracked his ass a smack, causing Jesse to jump
up onto his toes while holding his ass cheek.

"Moooooooommmmmm!" said Jesse.

"You deserve more, young man," said Molly.

"Can I help, or at least watch?  Especially if it's bareassed?" asked Zane.

This time it was Jack who spit his tea through his nose, and started
laughing.

"I think I really like this kid, Jack.  We're going to have our hands full
with him and Jesse," said Molly.

"Get over here, son," demanded Molly.  Jesse slowly walked over and stood
in front of her, trying the cute move with his feet kicking rocks and
looking innocent.

"Stop the trying to be cute Jess.  I love you son, and I'm so happy to see
our Jesse getting back on his feet."  She opened her arms and he leaped
into them, hugging her back.

"Mom, I'm so sorry," Jesse cried.

She was rubbing his back.  "It's ok son.  I love you," she said as he
kissed the top of his head.

"I love you and Jack, too.  You two and my new friend Zane are all I have
left anymore," said Jesse.

Molly pushed Jesse away from her a bit.  "Jesse, they have never left us
and they never will." She put her hand on his chest. "They are in our
hearts and our memories until the day we join them.  They never leave us
Jesse, but we have to let go what we had with them in this world here
because it can't be the same now. They are in heaven and we are in the
physical world.  We must continue our lives son, until it's our time to
join them."

"I'm beginning to understand that Molly.  Marc's in my heart and my
memories, but he's not here."  Jesse took a deep breath and said, "He would
be so mad at me for the wasting the time it took to realize it."

Jack was standing next to them.  "No son, he wouldn't be mad.  He would be
happy that you are finally realizing it.  I'm sure he's in heaven and I bet
you the women are chasing him around and driving him nuts up there."

Jesse laughed at that.  "As long it's just the women."

Zane spoke up.  "Molly and Jack, we both have luggage and we've really just
been two friends.  We even discussed it to remove the awkwardness and
agreed to be friends.  We both admitted we had no clue if it would ever
progress beyond friendship, but we also agreed to see where it went and
slowly.  The only thing we have done is evening and morning kisses, and
lots of hugs and cuddles.  Your son is safe in my home."

Molly smiled. "We came to that conclusion very quickly after we saw the two
of you together Zane, and we do appreciate the maturity you two have shown.
I wish more people were sensible like you guys."  Molly reached down and
pulled on Jesse's jeans.

"But look at this grade 'A' male ass and package, Zane," said Molly.

Zane was the one caught off guard this time, but he didn't have any tea in
his mouth.

"Mooooommmm, that's gross coming out of your mouth," said Jesse trying not
laugh.

A flaming ice cream desert arrived and they sat back down again.  Jesse and
Zane were sitting close to each other while eating the ice cream.  Zane
stuck his finger in the ice cream and then wiped it on Jesse's nose.  Jesse
laughed and did it back.  Carefully, they both got a piece of fruit in
their spoons and were about to launch it at Molly and Jack when they both
got hit by flying ice cream.

"Fucking amateurs," Molly said to her husband while laughing.  The two
younger men held their hands up in surrender.

The four of them jumped in Jack's rental car and drove to the Centre where
Zane gave them a tour of the facilities.  Both Molly and Jack were
impressed with what they saw.  Jesse stood between his two parents the
entire time, enjoying the proximity to them.  They went upstairs to the
apartment to share a bottle of wine.  While they were seated in the living
room, Jesse was in deep thought.

Zane was sitting next to Jesse and recognized the look.  He put his hand on
Jesse's knee and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jesse looked at Jack and Molly, and then at Zane.

He started slowly, "Mom, is it possible Marc and I were so interdependent
and together for so long I couldn't function alone when he was gone?"

That comment took everyone by surprise.

"Do you guys want me to leave while you have this discussion?" asked Zane.

Jesse grabbed Zane's hand quickly.  "No, I would like you to stay please,"
added Jesse.

Molly looked at Jack for a moment before answering.  "Jesse, it may not be
that simple to summarize it that way.  But, before you jump all over me, I
can see why you say that."

Zane was looking uncomfortable with the conversation.  "Please guys, I need
to give you guys some space for this.  I'm going to go to my office and go
through some paperwork."

Jack spoke up with an air of authority.  "Zane, this is your apartment and
you don't need to go anywhere.  If you would allow it, I would suggest my
wife and Jesse go down to your office to have this discussion.  We can stay
here, make some popcorn, drink wine and watch one of the old John Wayne
DVD's you have on the shelf."

Molly agreed.  "Zane, my apologies and Jesse - lets go."

Jesse stood and looked at Zane carefully, like he didn't want to be
separated from him right now.  Zane stood and hugged him tightly.

"Go with Molly and talk.  Its time, Jesse and I'll be here waiting for
you," said Zane.  Jesse looked at him and Zane gave him a gentle kiss on
the lips.  They both stood back from each other, their eyes locked for what
seemed a long time.

Finally, Jesse and Molly left to go down to the office.

By the time they had come back into the apartment, The Green Berets was
almost finished playing and there was no more wine.  Jack and Zane had been
watching the movie, but enjoying themselves as they got to know the other.

Jesse came into the room and sat next to Zane with a big smile on his face.

"Did you fart or are you pleased with yourself?" asked Zane.

Jesse leaned in and kissed Zane on the top of his head.  "Both, I was
pleased with myself and I just farted."

Molly shrieked over Jack's laughter, "You damn men and your farting."

Zane lifted himself off the couch slightly and let a fart lose.

"Jack, it's time we head to the hotel while we can still breathe," stated
Molly clearly.  "These two really are like peas in a pod" she said as used
her thumb to point at them.

"I sensed that at the restaurant Molly.  They are two peas in a pod, and
they're definitely good for each other.  Good night gentlemen," said Jack.

Molly and Jack hugged both of them and they made arrangements to meet for
breakfast in the morning.  Jack would swing by and pick them up at 9:00 am.

Both of the men had taken showers and crawled into bed.  Zane was laying on
his back, Jesse snuggled in beside him with his arm across the tight
stomach of his friend.

"Zane, I really enjoy the time we spend together and I honestly look
forward to us snuggling together on the couch or in bed."

"I would be lying if I didn't agree with you."  Zane used his hand to lift
Jesse's head so he was looking into his eyes.  "Jesse, in such a short time
period, I consider you to be my best friend.  I honestly look forward to us
sharing this time each evening as well."

"I haven't had a best friend for a long time Zane, and I feel the same
about you."

"Jess, I really hope you aren't thinking about finding somewhere else to
live.  I mean, you don't have too.  Having you here brings some life into
my little dingy apartment."

Jesse wiggled upwards in the bed a bit so he could look Zane in the eye.
"Are you asking me to stay here with you Zane as your roommate?"

"Yes, I mean if it's ok with you?  Would you like to stay here with me?"

Jesse leaned in and gently kissed Zane.  "I feel safe here with you Zane,
and I think it would be nice to stay here if you want me."

Zane leaned forward and kissed Jesse gently.  "I would like it very much,
Jesse."

The two of them snuggled in tightly together.

"Good night, Zane.  We better get some sleep before morning."

"Good night, Jesse."

Both of them listened to the other's breathing as they fell off to sleep.
Zane fell off to sleep dreaming of Jesse, and the two of them making
love. He was dreaming of making love to Jesse, and having Jesse make love
to him.  This was no quick fuck, he was dreaming of facing Jesse as he
thrust in and out of his ass, sharing sensual kisses as he came. Zane's
breath was quick and shallow as the nocturnal emission hit him, filling his
underwear full of sweet seed.

Jesse wasn't aware of Zane's emission as he was dreaming of Zane mounted in
his ass, making tender love to him.  In his dream, Jesse was laying on his
front, and as Zane was making love to his ass, he was grinding into the
bed.  Jesse felt the cum build up and release as Zane was yelling he was
cumming as well.  The nocturnal emission filled Jesse's bikini underwear,
and provided lubrication as he continued to grind into the bed until the
waves of ecstasy finished rushing through his body.

*******************************

Zane and Jesse barely made it out the front door as Jack pulled up to the
curb.  They drove across town to a famous pancake house and as they pulled
up to park, Jesse was bouncing up and down in his seat with enthusiasm.
Molly commented it was like having an 8 year old in the back seat, to which
Jesse stuck his tongue out at her.

After breakfast was finished, Jack took them took them to a park where a
heritage festival was underway.  Fifty countries were represented and were
selling their national foods out of booths.  There was entertainment
consisting of music and dancers performing on different stages throughout
the fair as well.  One booth had some of the same food as they had served
at the Calgary Stampede, but no one would try the scorpion or cockroach
pizza, crocodile burgers or the deep fried pickle pizza.  Zane challenged
Jesse to the cactus burger, but they compromised by sharing a poutine.

Molly had noticed Jesse and Zane were holding hands on and off during the
day.  Spending the day with them gave Jack and Molly both the chance to
watch Jesse and Zane interact.  Molly and Jack were really beginning to
like Zane, and they noticed Jesse was as well.  The looks between the two
of them were subtle to most people, but were not missed by Jack and Molly.
When the two young men ran to the washroom, it gave Molly and Jack a chance
to speak.

"Jack, have you noticed how connected the two of them are?  They even have
been anticipating each other's physical movements," said Molly.

"I know Molly.  They act as they have been friends for years" replied Jack.
"I haven't seen Jesse connect with someone like this since......"

"I know.  I didn't want to compare it or say it either.  Jesse needs
someone very rare and special in his life to meet his needs.  He may have
found the one person," replied Molly.

"They are like two peas in a pod Molly, and it is wonderful to see Jesse
smile and laugh again."

Molly agreed.  "I truly hope it works out for both of them in the end," she
added.

"Molly, even if the two of them spend years together just like they are
right now, as good friends, if both of them were happy and their needs were
being met I wouldn't have a problem with it," said Jack while deep in
thought.

"Neither would I," replied Molly.

"My gut reaction is Zane has already figured out Jesse may have some money
stashed away, but I am also thinking he doesn't really care about it."

Molly thought for a moment before replying, "He might if he knew what
Jesse's net worth was and between his two companies Jesse could pay off the
national debt of a small country."  She thought for a moment more and then
added, "Jack, I feel the same thing that Zane doesn't care.  They really
look good and act naturally happy together."

The two men joined them again.  They stayed for the big show in the
evening, which was followed by fireworks.  The four of them laid on the
grass in a circle, their heads together in the center to watch the
fireworks.  Jesse and Zane held hands the entire time, as did Molly and
Jack.

Molly and Jack were leaving early in the morning and there were lots of
hugs for everyone when they dropped Zane and Jesse at the apartment.  There
were a few tears too, but they would stay in touch.  Jack had offered to
have them both flown up to their house for a weekend, Jesse replied they
would think about it.
