Priorities Book 2 - Chapter 10 - Together (Part 2)


[Author's Note: Whereas this story usually follows a 1st person
perspective, and the beginning of it does. Being this is a collaborative
work, and Zarek's style and mine are different there is a melding and as
the chapter progresses it will jump to what I like to call "God Mode" where
perspective shifts sometimes from paragraph to paragraph, future chapters
will go back to my usual style of writing.]


*** ~~~ Roger ~~~ ***


Trevor and I have been sitting here forever. It was fun talking to Mom and
Dad about my riding the horses but how many breadsticks do they think we
want to eat? Trevor's been watching for Jim and Zac to get here instead of
talking to me. I know he's just being a good host, but...I dunno. Why am I
jealous?

Finally I hear what I've been waiting to hear, Trevor turns and says,
"They're here! But there's more of them than I thought."

I looked out of our private dining room and saw Jim and Zac, but I was
confused because I thought Jim said his son was 5. The boy hugging him
looked like he was maybe 11 or 12. Behind them were two other young guys
and a lady holding a little boy.

As I approached, Jim was saying to Trevor, "I wasn't expecting them either.
We got a little lost getting here and when we pulled into the parking lot
and got out of the car, this one almost knocked me over. Trevor, this is
our other son, Patrick, he's 11. Behind me is my mother, Heather who is
holding our son, Jake, and these other two ugly guys are my brothers Joe
and Chris."

"You have two sons?" I asked. "You only told us about the little one."

Patrick took a stern look at his dad who said, "I know, I was planning to
mention Patrick, but the subject changed and I felt awkward going back to
my pride and joys. Plus, I felt bad not being able to call him while at the
ranch, but I had no cell service." He looked down at Patrick and said, "You
know I could never forget you!"

Patrick looked up at Jim, "But you never called all day and I was worried."

"I tried calling you when we got back to the motel, several times," Jim
stated.  "No one answered the home phone, which, now I understand why. And
I tried your cell Papa gave you. I thought you were mad at me for not
calling sooner.  Why didn't you answer?"

"Oh my gosh, I left my cell phone on the bed," Patrick exclaimed.

Dad was standing right behind me and when he realized there would be more
people he called over one of the bussers and told them to add seats at the
big round table in the dining room and set for five additional for
dinner. He also told him to go into the kitchen and let them know to add
more food for our party.

"This is my Dad, Henri DuChamp and my Mom, Marine."

"It's very nice to meet you both, this is a nice place. I honestly didn't
expect a fancy restaurant like this." Zac stated as he looked around the
restaurant.

"Merci. I am pleased you like it. Please give me us a moment and we will
have the table ready." Henri stated.

"This is my Daddy, Nick King, and my Grandpa, Nathan King."

Papa and Grandpa Nate both shook hands with them and offered greetings.
Grandpa even ruffled Patrick's hair which he didn't seem to appreciate too
much.

Heather noted, "My husband, Chris' dad, is named Nick." This caused Nick to
chuckle.

About that time, Dad told us our table was ready and I lead everyone into
our private dining room. We took seats around the table. I was sitting with
Trevor on one side of me and Patrick on the other. Next to him was little
Jake. He was so cute! The way he seemed to idolize Patrick was very
obvious.

"I hope our being here doesn't cause undue problems, our trip here was a
bit unexpected." Heather apologized.

"But of course, it's no problem. The more the merrier!" Dad enthused.

At the same time a waitress was taking drink orders a man entered the room
that I'd never seen. Jim acted like he knew the man when he got up from his
seat and walked over to him.

"Agent King, are you following me? I hope there's no problem that caused
you to find us." Jim inquired.

"No, I'm actually surprised to see you. I am here because my Uncle invited
me."

Grandpa approached the two and embraced Lenny King. He then turned to Jim
and asked, "Do you two know each other?"

"A few months ago, my brother Joe, he's sitting over there, was kidnapped.
Agent King was the lead on the case." Jim explained.

Everyone took their seats and then the waiters started bringing food
out. They brought out several trays of Hors d'oeuvres placing them
strategically around the table. I explained to Patrick what each one was
and he helped his brother take a selection before helping himself.

As they ate everyone got involved in conversations. Having eaten several of
the treats on the table and unable to get Patrick's attention, Jake decided
to try another. He saw a little dish with what looked good. It had crackers
around it and a little knife. He took one of the crackers and spread the
pasty stuff on it and took a bite. Jim was surprised when he saw Jake take
another and asked, "Do you know what that is, Jake?"

"No, but I like it." Jake replied. Jim waited and waited and watched as
Jake ate two more crackers spread with the pasty substance. At the same
time, Zac, noticing what was going on, got his phone out and started the
camera application.

After he was done he looked at his Daddy and asked, "What is it, Daddy?"

Jim laughed again and said, "It's goose liver." The look on Jake's face was
spectacular, "It doesn't taste like liver! As usual, Zac caught it on his
phone.

Trevor got Jim's attention as they were eating the main course of Hunter's
stew. "You said that the two younger guys, I'm sorry I forgot their names,
were your brothers? They don't look anything like you."

"Yes, Joe is actually almost two months older than I am. He came to live
with us after some issues with his family I really can't really go into at
this time, but eventually Mom adopted him. Chris will turn 16 in about a
month and he is actually our step-brother. Mom married the Sheriff in our
town and Chris is his son."

"That's cool. Roger and I always hoped to be adopted but never expected
we'd wind up with such great parents. I think Joe didn't do bad either."
Trevor expressed.

Nathan was talking to his nephew Lenny King, "So it truly is a small
world. Who would have thought that one of your cases would happen to be
having dinner with us."

"Yes, I was more than a little surprised when Jim Bolt came up to me, but
it was good to see Joe having such a good time. He really had it rough. He
actually saw his assailant killed in front of him." Lenny replied.

"Man, even in the war I was lucky to never actually see the people we
killed face to face. Seeing him now you would never known he'd been through
that ordeal." Nate observed.

"Uncle Nate, one thing I can be absolutely sure in telling you, there is an
abundance of love in that family."

In the meantime, Bobby and Nick were having a discussion with Jim and
Zac. "I would really love to know how you two were able to adopt not only
one, but two boys. When Nick and I were going to try we were told it was a
near impossibility." Bobby stated.

"Well, we did have some luck. We have a friend who works at a group
home. She brought the children to a rodeo we were sponsoring...well
actually our boss was sponsoring. Jim was in the Barrel Racing
demonstration and this little tyke screamed out that he wasn't going to
make it. After, he came to find Jim to make sure he was alright. He wormed
his way into our hearts in about a minute flat." Zac remembered.

"Actually it was about 8 seconds, and I actually won the competition
afterward." Jim corrected.

"Well, that explains one, but how did you manage two?" Nick asked.

"Well...Sally, our friend from the group home, contacted us one evening,
telling us about a boy who'd lost both parents to a drunken driver. I'd
lost my father to one so Sally felt that it might be good for Patrick to
spend some time with us. During his stay we both felt, and Patrick agreed,
he belonged in our family. CPS had said they wanted a fairly long period to
make sure we could take care of him properly. Jake's birth grandfather
happens to be a judge and he decided that we'd proven ourselves so he made
arrangements to expedite our adoption of Patrick." Jim related.

"So, all the money in the world won't help, but having a friendly judge
cuts through all the barriers. I'm impressed." Bobby said.

About that time everyone had finished their dinners. Henri got everyone's
attention. "Excusez-moi everyone, now that the main course has been
finished, we will take about thirty minutes to relax and allow our dinner
to settle before dessert is served."

Henri realized that this time might be boring for the younger boys and
approached Trevor, Roger, Patrick, and Jake. "Roger, why don't you take the
younger boys into the office to watch some television, non?"

"Oui, Papa." Roger replied, very proud of the French he'd been learning.

After the boys left the table, Joe looked at Henri, "This place is nice.
Before Spermy, that's what I called my biological father, kicked me out of
the house, I thought about being a chef."

"What changed your mind?" Henri asked.

Joe smiled, "I want to be a social worker to help boys like me whose
parents kicked them out.  Jim wants to open a ranch for them and I'd like
to help.  I wouldn't mind cooking for these boys and while I may not be a
chef, I would still be happy cooking for others."

"That is very noble of you, would you like to go back to the kitchen and
see a real chef cook?" Henri offered.

Joe grinned, "Certainly."

Jim looked at Henri and asked, "Can I come along, too?"

"But of course," Henri chuckled.

As they went back, the chef was cutting carrots to put in a dish.  Joe
watched closely at how he was able to cut the carrots so fast.  Joe
commented, "I noticed that the blade never goes above your thumb, is that
how you can cut them so fast and not worry about cutting yourself?  I tried
cutting that fast and ended up needing stitches."

"It takes practice, but yes.  And I had to get stitches the first time I
did it," the chef commented.  "I take it; you like to cook."

Joe smiled, "I'm nowhere nearly as good as you are, but yes, I love to
cook."

The chef appreciated the compliment and offered to show Joe and Jim a few
of his tricks.  He even let Joe practice chopping an onion.  Joe was amazed
at how fast he did it.  Feeling they were in good hands, Henri returned to
the table.

Roger and Trevor led Patrick and Jake to the office. Patrick sat down on a
couch and Jake curled up beside him. Jake fell asleep almost
immediately. "Guys, instead of watching TV," Patrick asked, "can we talk?"

"Sure, what about?" Trevor inquired.

Patrick was hesitant at first, but Roger assured him that whatever he said,
they would keep a secret. "Well, you two are a gay couple, and I think I am
gay."

Roger thought for a moment, remembering his own struggle with the very
question Patrick was coming to grips with and asked, "Why do you think
that, Patrick?"

"Well, I'm not sure, but there's this boy at school. When I first saw him I
felt pulled toward him. Every time I looked at him I got a funny feeling
all over. As I got to know him a little, all I wanted to do was kiss
him. We had a sleepover and I think we're both gay but I'm not sure yet."
Patrick described.

"For me it was pretty much the same. The only big difference was I'd known
Roger my whole life pretty much. He even shared a room with me. At first
the feelings were really scary. I didn't really understand them. When I met
my parents and spent a weekend with them they helped me to understand and
next time I saw Roger I kissed him. I knew at that moment he and I would be
together forever." Trevor recalled.

"That's how it was for Scott and me. I mean his kiss was...I don't
know...amazing. At first I wasn't thinking I'd like his tongue in my mouth
or mine in his, but as we kissed, without even realizing it I put mine in
his. It was the most natural thing. Then when he kissed me and put his
tongue in my mouth, it was really no big deal. I mean, I liked it, but it
wasn't a bad thing."

"Yeah, it's still too early to tell for sure but I'd bet money you're gay."
Trevor predicted.

"Is that all you guys did?" Roger asked.

"He made a promise to his parents that all we'd do was kiss, so that's all
we did. I wanted to do more with him when I felt his boner against my leg
when we were in the shower."

"You showered together?" Trevor asked, quite surprised.

"Yeah," Patrick blushed, "it was really cool. We kissed in the shower and
my penis got stiff, so did Scott's. But we'd made a promise. We even told
each other that we hope we're really gay and we can be boyfriends."

"Well, I think you've got it pretty much figured out, but, we're going to
make sure you have our cell numbers and you can call us anytime, Scott too,
if you have any questions." Trevor said.

"I think it's time for dessert, why don't you wake your totally cute
brother up and we can get something good. You'll be amazed at what's for
dessert."

Patrick hugged each of the boys while telling them how much they helped him
and he'd be sure to keep in touch. He gently woke Jake up and asked, "You
ready for dessert, bro?"

That was all Jake needed to hear, he was up and wide awake. "I want some,
Patrick. Come on, let's go!"

Joe and Jim were returning to the dining room about the same time as the
boys. They resumed their seats and Henri came out with a trolley cart. On
it were several dishes, a burner, and a bottle, along with a copper
skillet. Behind him was another trolly where a waiter sat with bowls and a
tub of ice cream. Henri rolled the cart over by Patrick and Jake and asked,
"Have you boys ever seen a flambe?"

"I know I haven't and I don't think Jake has...but, what's a Flambe?"
Patrick asked, puzzled.

"Just watch. You will love this!" Henri exclaimed.

Henri lit the burner and placed the skillet on it, he added a large amount
of butter to the pan along with some brown sugar and a few other
items. Once it was melted and mixed he added a large spoonful of cherries
to the pan and began to cook them. After a few moments he added some liquid
from the bottle and when he tilted the pan it exploded in fire! At first
Jake was scared, but Patrick involuntarily yelled out, "COOL!"

The waiter handed Henri two bowls of ice cream and he dished out the
mixture from the pan into the two bowls and handed one each to Patrick and
Jake. They tasted it and Jake asked, "Mr. Ornery, what is this, it was
scary to watch, but it tastes great."

"It's called `Cherries Jubilee', it's a famous dessert, I'm glad you like
it." Henri replied.

Henri proceeded to prepare and serve everyone their dessert and when
everyone was done it was time to bring the meal to a close.

"I want to thank you for inviting us for this wonderful meal and for
allowing the rest of our family, minus one, to join us. It was something we
will remember for a long time." Jim averred.

"It was our pleasure, you have a wonderful family and we hope you can keep
in touch with us. Trevor already made sure I knew Patrick was to have both
his and Roger's cell numbers as well as their email addresses, that is if
you approve." Bobby replied.

"We don't see a problem with that. We both liked our time earlier with
Trevor and Roger, they're good guys." Zac answered.

After wishing them a safe trip home and Patrick giving both Trevor and
Roger a hug, which was interesting for Zac and Jim to witness, the group
parted ways.

That night Trevor asked Roger if he wanted to go back to the ranch the next
day for another horseback ride. Roger was more than willing.

After a night of showing each other how much they loved one another the
boys fell asleep in each other's arms.

-*-

Trevor and Roger returned to Tony's ranch. Today, Tony allowed them to
assist the hands as they groomed and saddled the horses. Bobby was
reluctant to allow them to go off on their own but Tony convinced them that
he'd been told that both were proficient riders and they were old enough to
be out on their own. Bobby agreed but knew Nick would kill him if he knew.

The boys headed out toward the lake, Trevor had the rifle in it's scabbard
attached to his saddle. He hoped he didn't have to use it. He'd been
trained in how to use the weapon and the safety practices, he was still
nervous of needing to use it.

As they rode and approached the lake they heard voices and water splashing
as they neared they noticed who it was and Trevor decided to try to mimic
Jim's bad southern drawl as he said "Lookiee here, Roger, it seems like we
found some varmints skinny-dipping in the lake."

"Sure looks that way," Roger agreed. "Should we take their clothes to teach
them a lesson?"

"Naw, but we could join them," Trevor chuckled, "that is, if you don't mind
skinny-dipping again."

"I did it yesterday, so what's the difference, it's just more guys," Roger
agreed.  Both boys dismounted and started stripping.  It didn't take long
until Trevor and Roger were joining Patrick and Jake swimming.  Jim loved
how they made over Jake and kept telling him he's so cute.

Jake was having the time of his life.  Jim would swim underwater and have
him stand on his shoulders, then Jim would jump out of the water and launch
him in the air.  Once, he almost came down on Patrick, so when Jim did it,
everyone made sure the "landing area" was clear.  Roger and Trevor took
turns playing with Jake, too.  They tried doing like Jim did, but didn't
get much "lift off."  Patrick swam over to Jim, "Can you do that to me,
too?"

"I can try," Jim said, "but you're older, and taller than Jake, so you
weigh more.  I won't be able to get you as high, but you should still have
fun.  Just don't pee on my head."

Patrick snickered, "I won't."  Jim managed to get Patrick in the air and he
whooped and hollered, but forgot to close his mouth when he hit the water.
He came up a coughing and a sputtering.

Jim swam over and started patting his back.  "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, but that water taste nasty.  I think someone peed in it," Patrick
joked.

"Guys, if we want to dry off before getting dressed, we need to get out and
eat he lunch Tony gave us," Zac suggested.

Patrick was a little shy getting out with Trevor and Roger there, but he
did.  Jim noticed that he was checking them out as they joined him under
the tree.

After they ate, everyone got dressed and mounted up.  They returned to the
corral and Jim was proud to see Roger and Trevor start grooming their
horses.  Tony watched with a smile.  He walked over to help Patrick groom
his mount since the boy was struggling to reach every place.

Before parting ways possibly for the last time Patrick, with a tear in his
eye hugged both boys and told them how much help they had been and he was
going to miss them. Jim and Zac also gave them hugs and little Jake jumped
up into Trevor's arms and kissed him on the cheek saying, "You're almost as
cool as my brother. I hope we see each other again."
