Chapter 45 -- Back in the Fold.    

I started the engine and pulled out of the rest area.  We'd have to go to
the next exit before I could turn the van around and begin the journey
home, so I quickly got it up to the speed limit and moved out of the
acceleration lane. I looked in the rearview mirror quickly, to see how
Kevin and Vinnie were doing, and I could tell there wasn't going to be any
quick or easy fix to their problems.

"Vinnie, I can't tell you how sorry I am that I messed around and ruined
your plans," Kevin began.  "I picked up the roses and the bracelet you
dropped, after I chased you.  I'm really sorry and they were both lovely."
Vinnie just studied Kevin's face for a few seconds, before he responded.

"Why did you do it?  Why would you have sex with someone else?"  Vinnie's
pain was still obvious in both his voice and expression and stabbed through
Kevin like a knife.

"Because I'm a fucking idiot," Kevin admitted, as if that answered Vinnie's
question.  "I met up this guy I kind of knew and he was willing to have sex
with me.  I was horny, so I gave in to my needs, but that's just it.  It
was only sex.  I didn't and don't love him.  I only love you and I promise
I'll never do anything like that ever again."

Kevin's eyes were pleading with Vinnie now, while hoping for the best.  He
was praying Vinnie would forgive him, as he continued to beg for another
chance to prove his love.

"That's the problem," Vinnie eventually responded, "I love you too.  It's
just that I'm not sure I trust you any more."  Kevin looked crestfallen.
It almost appeared as if Vinnie had just ripped Kevin's heart from his
chest.

"How many other times have you been with someone else since we've been
together?" Vinnie pressed.

"This was the only time, I swear!" Kevin exclaimed, hoping his words would
convince Vinnie of his sincerity.

"You're telling me you've only done this once," Vinnie reiterated, although
it sounded as if he doubted Kevin's words, "and I just happen to catch you?
That's pretty extraordinary odds."  Kevin knew he was in deep shit with his
lover and had to come up with a way to convince him he was being honest
now.

"Yes, those are unbelievable odds, but it's still the truth," Kevin stated,
in the sincerest voice he could muster.  "Since you and I have been
together, I haven't wanted anyone else, but I couldn't stand the thought of
being alone on Valentine's Day.  Yes, I was with another guy, but I was
pretending it was you."

Vinnie still wasn't sure how truthful Kevin's statement was, but his claim
that he was thinking of Vinnie at the time did lessen the sting of being
cheated on, if only slightly.  Vinnie wondered if it might be possible
Kevin actually was pretending they were the ones having sex together, but
Vinnie still wasn't sold on that possibility.

"Why didn't you just come home or call and ask me to come there then?"
Vinnie shot back, while trying to clarify how this might have happened.

"Because I thought I could control myself, and I did, until Friday," Kevin
explained.  "I went out to grab a bite to eat and ran into this guy I knew
him from one of my classes.  He asked if he could sit with me and I said
yes, but I wasn't thinking of anything more than sharing a table with him.
I knew he was also gay, so while we were eating I started telling him how
much I missed you.  I also told him how the family always makes special
plans for us on Valentine's Day, so we could enjoy ourselves and not be
targets.  He thought that sounded awesome, so I continued telling him about
you.

"The more I told him, the more I missed you, and just thinking about you
got me really hard.  When we got up to leave, he spotted the bulge in my
jeans and suggested he could help take care of my problem.  He said even
though he wasn't you, maybe I could pretend he was and that might help me
feel better.  I know, I know.  It was dumb and I was taken in by him, but
at the time it made perfect sense."  Kevin was beginning to sob now, but
Vinnie made no attempt to comfort him.

"Vinnie, you have to believe me," Kevin pleaded.  "It was just a moment of
weakness on my part and I would never have even considered it, if I knew it
would end up costing me your love.  I do love you Vinnie and I feel so bad
that I hurt you.  I swear if you'll give me another chance, I'll never do
anything like that ever again.  Please say you'll forgive me.  Please!"
Kevin was begging now and grabbed Vinnie's hands.  He was holding them
between his own, as his eyes and face pleaded with Vinnie to forgive him.

It wasn't that Vinnie was unmoved, because he could tell Kevin was hurting
nearly as much as he was about this mess.  What stopped him was the vision
of Kevin and that other guy kept popping into his mind.  How could he say
yes and forgive Kevin, while he could still see his lover and this other
boy together?  Vinnie continued to struggle with this dilemma and Kevin
squirmed.

Seeing Vinnie had not answered him, Kevin became worried and decided to try
a new approach.  While Vinnie was deep in thought, Kevin reached up and
began stroking Vinnie's hair and face, and then he bent forward and placed
a soft, light, sweet kiss on Vinnie's lips.

Vinnie reflexively began to pull back, but then stopped.  There was no way
he could deny he wanted this as much as Kevin did, so he didn't pull
completely away from him.  The thing was, Vinnie didn't respond or
participate either.  He wanted to show Kevin he was still a little
undecided as to what he should do and Kevin sensed this and ended the kiss,
so he could look Vinnie in the eye.

"I don't know how I can convince you that you're still my only love, but I
will keep trying," Kevin told him.  "Maybe I don't deserve it, but I hope
you'll find it in your heart to give me another chance.  If you do, I
promise you won't be sorry."  Kevin continued to hold Vinnie's hands and
massaged them unconsciously, as he waited for some sort of answer.

"Okay.  I'm not perfect either and I know people make mistakes," Vinnie
offered, "but if you ever do anything like this ever again, I'll cut off
your last ball and then we'll be finished for good."

I think Vinnie's threat shocked Kevin, but he was relieved Vinnie had
finally told him he'd forgive him.  In his excitement, Kevin almost leapt
on top of Vinnie, but his seatbelt prevented that from happening.  I did
watch as they shared their first kiss of reconciliation, a very tender and
passionate affair, during which they reaffirmed their love for each other.
I was relieved when I saw this happen, because I knew it meant things would
probably get back to normal between them, although I was also equally as
certain there were probably still a few potholes in the road ahead.

I believe they would have had sex right there in the van, if I hadn't been
with them.  Instead, they kept pestering me about how long it would take
before we got home.  Their actions reminded me of kids on a long trip
saying, 'Are we there yet?'  They were in a hurry to get home and
continually urged me to drive faster, but I didn't do it.  Instead, I
explained my first priority was to get us all home safely and I think that
got to them.  They eased up their whining, but not their sexual mauling of
each other.

Even though they kept their clothes on, their hands were all over each
other, stroking those familiar and sensitive areas.  I was surprised
neither of them blew their load in the van, being stimulated in that
fashion, but I don't think that happened.  However, by the time we arrived
at the house and began to go inside, they were walking very funny.  It was
obvious they both had erections and were anxious to get to their room.  The
problem was, things didn't go as they wanted.

Before they got inside, their brothers came running out to greet them and
prevented them from going off alone.  The others were curious and wanted to
know where Vinnie had been, so they asked a multitude of questions.  This
slightly annoyed Kevin and Vinnie, because it was interfering with their
unspoken plans, but to my surprise, the pair answered the grueling
questions, as quickly as they could.  Once this had been done and Vinnie
had graciously accepted the others' sincerest welcome home, the pair
literally raced to their room.

As soon as the door was closed, Kevin and Vinnie began to kiss and make out
in earnest.  They each longed to reacquaint themselves with their lover,
especially his most private parts.  Slowly and lovingly they undressed each
other, and as they removed each article of clothing, they paid particular
attention to the area they had just exposed by its removal.  By the time
they got to each other's boxers, they were both so aroused that there was a
chance they might explode prematurely.  Sensing this, they backed off a
bit, to give their bodies a chance to calm down.

Once they felt it was safe to proceed, Kevin was the first to let his
partner know how things were going to go.  He hopped on the bed, got on his
back and pulled his legs to his chest, to indicate to Vinnie he was
offering him the ultimate prize.  Vinnie didn't need any further
invitation, but seeing it had been a while since they had done anything, he
knew he should loosen Kevin up first.

Grabbing the lube from their dresser, he greased up his fingers and began
stretching Kevin's love opening, to get him ready for what was to come.
Once he thought his partner was sufficiently prepared, Vinnie slipped on a
condom, lubed it up, got into position and began to slide his penis into
Kevin's waiting hole.

He entered it like a hot knife sliding through butter, and once he was
totally inside, he began to pump in and out, giving both his partner and
him pleasure.  The pair was kissing frantically, but passionately, as
Vinnie made love to Kevin and both boys prayed this meant nothing would
ever come between them again.

Their lovemaking session didn't last as long as they wished, however,
because they had been so worked up beforehand.  Each had been anticipating
this moment during the entire trip home, so the session was over way too
soon.  Vinnie shot his load first, which caused Kevin's penis to jerk and
twitch, before it too spewed its hot cream all over his body.  The boys
continued to kiss and be affectionate with each other, as they cuddled and
cooed, but eventually they cleaned up and came out to rejoin the rest of
the family.  It was obvious how happy they both were, now that they had
adequately put the incident behind them.

By the time they had finished, it was getting late.  Since I didn't feel
like making another long drive to take Kevin back to his campus, I told him
he could stay another day and I'd leave work a little early tomorrow, to
drive him back.  Both boys were thrilled by this news, because it meant
they now had the whole night to be intimate, but I soon dampened their joy
a little.

"Vinnie, before you do anything else, I want you to call your dad and fill
him in about everything that happened," I told him.

Vinnie made a face, indicating he wasn't sure he was up to that task yet,
but then did as I requested.  He was on the phone for nearly an hour, while
explaining everything that had happened since he disappeared.  He probably
also got an earful in return, to let him know how badly he had messed up.
Once Vinnie hung up, I had something more to tell him.

"Vinnie, you still have to go to school tomorrow, even though Kevin will be
here at home.  You've already missed two weeks of classes and you'll have a
great deal of work to catch up on.  I'll probably also have to call in a
few favors from some of your teachers to get them to allow you to do that.
You're going to be very busy over the next month or so, but I will also
make sure you have some time to spend with each other, as long as you are
making an effort.  The thing is, I want you to promise me you'll get to
sleep by 11:00 tonight, because you'll need to be well rested before you go
back to school tomorrow."

"Pop, can't I just stay home one more day?" he protested.  "I mean, after
two weeks, what's another day?"  I think he figured that argument would
convince me, but he quickly discovered he was wrong.

"I guess if you looked at it that way, you might be right, but I don't see
it like that.  What I see is you've already had two weeks of unauthorized
absence from school and I don't want to make it any worse.  I've tried to
be very understanding about what you went through, but that only goes so
far.  Now, you're just going to have to go along with my demands."  I stood
postured before him and I'm sure he could see the resolve in my eyes, so he
quickly backed down.

"Okay, if I have to," he whined.

"You do," I advised him.  After he threw a mild tantrum, which he thought I
didn't see, he settled down a bit.  When he did, I thought of something
else.

"Oh, by the way, while you were gone, you got a letter."  I went to
retrieve it and handed it to him when I returned.  He studied the return
address on the envelope before proceeding.

"It's from Villanova," he screamed, excitedly, and then frantically tore it
open.  He read it while Kevin and I looked on.  After a few seconds, he let
us know what it was about.  "I've been accepted.  I've been accepted," he
shouted joyously.

"Great!" Kevin told him.  "Congratulations."  Vinnie was bouncing around on
his crutches, looking at Kevin confused.

"Don't you understand what this means?" Vinnie asked Kevin.

"Yes, it means you got into the college you wanted," Kevin responded, not
knowing what else to say.

"It means more than that," Vinnie commented.  "It means I'll be in
Philadelphia too, so we'll be able to see each other on weekends."  Once
that information sank in, Kevin started jumping around as well.

"Hold on, you two," I cautioned them.  "Remember, your education still
comes first.  I don't want to hear you're spending every weekend together
and your grades are slipping."

"We know," Vinnie conceded, "but this way, we can get together some of the
time, especially when one of us gets horny, so we aren't tempted to look
for other options."  Kevin looked a little embarrassed after Vinnie made
this comment, because he knew it directly referred to the Valentine's Day
fiasco.

"Vinnie, the two campuses aren't that close together," Kevin advised him.

"Aren't there buses or trains we could take back and forth?" Vinnie whined.

"Yes, I guess we could do that," Kevin replied, after thinking about it a
second or two.

"Well, then one time we could stay in your dorm room together, and the next
time in mine," Vinnie said, hopefully.

"But we'll both have roommates, and I'm not sure they'd be agreeable to us
having sex or being affectionate while they're around."  Vinnie looked as
if his whole world was falling apart again.  This seemed to bother Kevin as
much as his previous indiscretion had, so I could see he was trying to
figure out a way around this problem.

"I guess we could do it on the weekends when our roommates are going to be
away," he added, while looking at Vinnie for his reaction.

"Does that happen very often?" Vinnie wanted to know.

"I guess my roommate is away at least one weekend a month," he responded.

"That's not a lot," Vinnie commented, somewhat dejected.

"Well, if your roommate does the same, that could give his two weekends a
month to be together," Kevin added.

"Yeah, if they don't both go home on the same weekend," Vinnie commented,
sarcastically.

"I guess I'd be willing to let you rent a motel room once in a while," I
interjected, to get them past their problem.  I hoped it would give them
another option and something to look forward to.

"You'd be willing to do that for us?" Vinnie asked, surprised.

"Yes," I confirmed.  "I will allow you do that during any month when you
can't find a way to get together more than once.  The thing is, I'm going
to ask you to make it only twice a month, unless it's a holiday weekend or
you're staying there over a vacation.  Would you both agree to that?"  They
looked at each other and communicated silently, before Kevin responded for
both of them.

"Okay.  We can do that," he stated confidently, before adding a postscript.
"But neither of you will have to worry about me doing anything stupid like
that again, no matter what."  Having addressed that issue, he moved over
and gave Vinnie a hug and then a very loving kiss.

"Good," I added, once their display of affection had ended.  "I hope this
is settled now and we can put the whole sordid episode behind us for good
then."  They both nodded their agreement and then went off to prepare for
the next day.

Later that evening, after Kevin and Vinnie went to their room, Vinnie
returned the favor Kevin had done for him earlier.  Getting ready for bed,
Vinnie shed all his clothes, got into bed, and quickly informed Kevin that
he could make love to him now.  Quickly aroused by the thought, Kevin
eagerly complied and soon had Vinnie prepared for their next lovemaking
session.  As Kevin's pulsing rod entered Vinnie's love tunnel, he whispered
to him.

"I do love you," he advised him, "and I'm so sorry for being weak.  You'll
never have to worry about that ever happening again, because I never want
to risk losing you."

This brought a tear to Vinnie's eye and then they began to kiss and hug, as
Kevin began his pumping rhythm.  As he slid in and out of Vinnie's hot
hole, they were both sent to another level of euphoria.  The two boys were
one again and all was well with the world.

The next day, everyone got ready for school and then I made my way to my
office.  That left Kevin home alone, but I figured he'd use the time to get
some extra rest, since he hadn't been sleeping much, or very well, for the
past couple of weeks.

As soon as I got settled in, I called the high school and left messages for
all of Vinnie's teachers to phone me, so I could not only ask them to allow
him to make up his work, but so I'd also be able to advise them I didn't
expect anyone to cut him any extra favors just because he was family.  In
fact, I told them to make sure he suffered a little for his lack of
judgment, so he would have a reminder before doing anything so stupid
again.  They all agreed to my conditions, so now it was up to Vinnie to
catch up.

Around 2:00, I told my secretary I was leaving early for the day, so I
could drive Kevin back to Temple University.  I had nothing much on my
schedule, so it worked out well and she said she'd cover for me.  I left,
went home and picked Kevin up.  Shortly after that, we were on our way to
return him to continue his studies.

It was a long trip, but both of us were more upbeat than before, so we had
a nice conversation along the way.  Kevin told me how glad he was that
Vinnie would be nearby the following school year.

"Dad, I'm so glad Vinnie will be in Philly with me next year," he gloated,
"but I promise neither of us will let our romance interfere with our
schoolwork."

"I appreciate that and I'm grateful for your reassurance," I told him. "I
will hold you to your promise."  He merely nodded in response, but I could
see the wheels turning in his head now, so I knew something more was on his
mind.  Finally, he clued me in about what he was thinking.

"Dad, would you let me live in an apartment off campus next year, so there
won't be as many problems with Vinnie and me being able to get together?"
I thought for a second before responding.

"Not next year Kevin, but maybe the following year, when you're a senior,"
I advised him.

"But why not next year?" he wanted to know.

"Mainly because Vinnie will only be a freshman," I told him, "and if you
had your own place, I know he'd be after me to let him share it with you.
I won't do that yet.  However, if both of you keep your grades up and prove
to me you won't let your relationship adversely affect your studies, then I
might let you get an apartment near Villanova next year, so you two can
stay together.  I'll even get you a car to drive back and forth from the
apartment to your campus, so you won't have to worry about public
transportation schedules to get around."

"Really?" Kevin asked, amazed.

"Yes, but not next year." I confirmed.  "I hope you can live with that."
He smiled.

"I can," he agreed.

"I don't want you to tell Vinnie, though," I advised him.  "I want to make
sure he's motivated to do well on his own, not so he can live with you the
following year and have unlimited access to sex."  Kevin started to
protest, but then he thought better of it.

"Okay, but Vinnie will be really excited when he finally finds out," Kevin
added.

"I know, but let's leave that for this summer," I advised him and Kevin
nodded.

After reaching Philly, we stopped to eat first, before I dropped Kevin off
at his dorm.  As soon as he was settled in, I asked him what he had told
his roommate about all of this.

"Jeff knows I'm gay and I told him I messed up and my boyfriend wanted to
break up with me," Kevin explained.  "I guess that was enough information,
so he didn't ask anything else."

Now that my curiosity had been sated, I told Kevin I had to go, since I
wanted to get home as early as I could.  Kevin thanked me for everything
and gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks for always being there for me, Dad," he added, before releasing me.
I got in the Grand Am and began to drive off, but as I pulled away, I could
see him waving at me, until I drove out of sight.

The ride back wasn't bad, partly because I was fairly upbeat knowing all of
my boys were safe and our problems were behind us, at least for the time
being.  I arrived home before midnight and Jake was still waiting up for
me, so I filled him in briefly about the things Kevin and I discussed on
the way back.  He told me he thought my precautions were wise, about making
them wait another year to get an apartment, and then we headed to bed,
together.
