Lucky Mr. Peters
Chapter 57
“Uhm, I was wondering if it would be OK for me to come over more often,” Bernardo began.
“Of course it is, why wouldn’t it be?” I queried.
“Ah, well, does my mother always have to know about it?” he stammered.
“Oh, I see. Well, to be honest with you, I don’t think that would be really fair to hide it from her. After all, she was the one who told you about us. I don’t think she’ll have a problem with you coming over whenever you want. However, I do think she should know where you are in case there’s an emergency,” I replied.
“But if she has to call you every time, my dad could overhear her and start asking questions,” Bernardo argued.
“We could try to solve that right now. Do you know if your father is at home?” I asked.
“No, he should be at work until 5 o’clock,” Bernardo answered.
“So how about we give her a call right now and see if we can resolve the issue?” I questioned, taking out my cell phone and getting a nod from Bernardo.
I dialed the number and when Bernardo’s mother picked up, I told her who I was.
“Oh, Mr. Peters, is everything OK with Bernardo? He’s not giving you any trouble, is he?” she immediately asked.
“No, he’s fine, no trouble at all and is in fact sitting next to me. It’s just that he’s asked me if he can come over more often without the need for you to call me about it. He’s afraid that if you do, his father may find out about his frequent visits,” I explained.
“But, of course, he can go to you whenever he wants. I’ve never seen him happier than the past two days and I think that’s very much due to the talk he’s had with all of you on Wednesday evening,” Mrs. Cantor babbled.
“Well, he’ll always be welcome here. I’ve already told him that he needs to tell you he’s coming over, so you know where to reach him in case of an emergency. Also, I would like for you to tell me at what times he needs to be home so there can be no argument about that,” I said, giving the attentive Bernardo a little wink.
“We have dinner at six, so he has to be home by then and his evening curfew is 10:30, but you already know that. Oh, and of course he has to make sure he does his homework!” Mrs. Cantor replied.
“I wouldn’t have it any other way, Mrs. Cantor. School is way too important and I always have my boys do their homework right after dinner,” I assured her as I watched Bernardo starting to grin. “So, we both agree that Bernardo can come over any time, as long as he tells you he’s coming here, does his homework and is always home on time, right?”
“Absolutely Mr. Peters, that sounds fine with me,” Mrs. Cantor responded.
I told Mrs. Cantor I was happy we could resolve the situation, would let her get on with things and wished her a good weekend. I could hear her snicker as she wished me the same and then we ended the call.
“See, problem solved,” I told Bernardo who surprised me by throwing his arms around my neck and hugging me rather fiercely.
I put my arms around him and stroked his back for a short while to get him to ease up.
“You’d better join your friends in the game room again before they start thinking you’ve been kidnapped,” I whispered to him after about two minutes.
He let go and sat back, the emotion almost pouring off his face.
“Thank you, Mr. Peters,” he croaked, and then he gave me a quick peck on my cheek, got up and hurriedly left the study his face blushing red.
I shook my head, got up in turn and used the side door that led out back onto the patio.
“Problems?” Aidan asked as I sat down on the lawn chair.
I gave my audience of three a short rundown and all three of them started smiling. Aidan stated how cute he thought that was and I could see Jordan raise his eyebrows a bit about that, causing me and Allejandro to start laughing. When Aidan turned to look at Jordan I could hear him mumble something apologetic, which didn’t help to relieve the merriment I felt.
As we chatted about a myriad of topics, time flew by until we were alarmed by some ruckus coming from the living room. Moments later the twins came flying through the door and positioned themselves squarely in front of me.
“Why didn’t anyone come down to tell us it was time for the second cake?” they asked almost simultaneously.
Checking the time, I saw it was close to 5 o’clock already and I could see the other boys had gathered behind us.
“Well, you didn’t think we gave you those watches just because they look pretty, do you?” I countered.
It took a moment for my comment to sink in, but then the first snickering started and within no time, everyone except the twins and me was laughing. I have to admit that it wasn’t easy to keep a straight face, but I somehow managed it. Felipe and Juanito looked at their friends and brothers and knew I had maneuvered them into a position where they couldn’t criticize me. Slowly the look of indignation on their faces started to change, first into a slight grin, but ultimately, they too began laughing.
A few minutes later I was standing in the doorframe again, watching as the twins said goodbye to their friends. I couldn’t help but notice the distinct difference in how they said goodbye to Luis and Mario and the other two boys. Where the first two got rather cursory hugs, Abelardo and Bernardo were definitely also kissed, even if only on the cheeks. I couldn’t help but smile as the boys rode out, waving and the twins waving back at them. Felipe and Juanito looked quite happy as they walked back to me after the car gate had closed.
“So, did you guys enjoy the party so far?” I asked, as we made it back into the house.
Both boys agreed it had been their best birthday party ever, but I couldn’t shake the feeling they were setting me up for something. I told them I was sorry for not thinking about the second cake in time, but reminded them that at least this way we’d have something to offer Julia and Ronaldo. From their reaction I gathered that they’d almost forgotten about their other guests coming over after dinner. They made for the game room while I rejoined the threesome on the patio.
“I think they’d all but forgotten about Julia and Ronaldo coming over this evening,” I commented as I sat down on the lawn chair.
“Isn’t that the social worker that got you into this heap of trouble?” Aidan asked with a huge grin on his face.
“Yes, she is, apart from also being Rafael’s older sister,” I replied, smiling.
“Well, my darling, we’re going to be sticking around for a while after dinner because I definitely want you to meet this lady,” Aidan said to Jordan.
I could hardly contain myself as I saw Jordan starting to blush at Aidan’s clear utterance of affection. We actually kept on the subject of Julia until Mauricio informed us that dinner was ready. I was happy to see that all the boys were in exceptionally good spirits, even John, who was usually slightly more reserved than the others. I took it the twins had mentioned Julia as I could overhear some of the conversations the boys were having. Some were curious about the size of her belly, while others wondered whether or not the baby would be kicking yet. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Julia as I knew she’d have to suffer some serious touching and prodding from the group of curious youngsters.
We’d just finished dinner when my cell phone started ringing and I could see it was Julia. She informed me that she and Ronaldo were on their way and would arrive in about 5 minutes. I told the boys to help Pietro and Mauricio clean up and then made my way outside to open the car gate for our guests. They arrived a couple of minutes later and as they got out of the car, I could actually see that Julia was pregnant. Her belly was definitely starting to get more pronounced and she had a bit of a glow that’s so typical for pregnant women.
As we got inside the house, everyone was already waiting for us in the hallway. I swear the boys’ eyes were twinkling as they immediately surrounded Julia and escorted her into the living room, leaving me and Ronaldo standing.
“Looks like they’ve got their priorities straight,” Ronaldo laughed as we followed the procession.
“Yes, whatever it’s going to be, it’ll have a whole lot of godfathers,” I smiled and Ronaldo started snickering.
Once we were settled and Julia had apprised the boys that the baby had started kicking the week before, there was no holding back. I got the impression that Julia actually told the boys on purpose and really enjoyed the attention they were giving her and her belly. When it was Damarion’s turn to ‘touch the belly’, he almost immediately retracted his hand and jumped up in the air.
“It kicked me! It kicked me!” he exclaimed as he started to jump around the room.
“Yes it did, I could feel it, too,” Julia confirmed with a broad smile on her face.
It was the start of what could only be described as a contest amongst the boys as to who would be next to feel the baby kick. Julia was great, encouraging the boys to talk to the baby so it could hear their voices and react to it. I guess being in her fourth month made her quite mellow and the boys were definitely fascinated. There was a little respite when Pietro brought out the second cake, the twins made sure that Julia got an extra-large piece since she was eating for two. Boys will be boys though, and with their initial excitement dwindling, they slowly disappeared, going down to their game room haunt.
As the opportunity presented itself, I brought up the subject of doing the language exam to Julia and I could tell she was surprised when I did it in Spanish. She agreed that I was probably ready and would set the wheels in motion when she was back at work on Monday.
Over the next two hours we discussed a lot of things, with everyone putting in his own two cents worth. I was quite happy to note that Aidan got along rather well with both Julia and Ronaldo as we all enjoyed a nice evening. It was a little past 10 o’clock and it became noticeable Julia was getting tired and she and Ronaldo decided to go home. Aidan and Jordan elected to also go home, leaving me and Allejandro to ourselves. Not long after, we saw the first boys going up to their bedrooms and within less than 10 minutes the house grew quiet. Allejandro and I enjoyed the quiet time with one last glass of wine until we also retired and went to bed.
Sunday morning I woke up on my side with Allejandro lying behind me, his arm draped over my body. As I scooted back a bit to enjoy the closeness, I could feel his morning wood pressing against my backside. I listened and hearing his slow regular breathing, I knew he was still fast asleep. I don’t know why, but I reached out and grabbed the bottle of lube from the nightstand where I’d left it the previous evening after getting myself ready to fuck Allejandro. I squirted some onto my hand, reached behind me and began applying it to Allejandro’s hard-on. I honestly couldn’t tell you where the urge came from, but it felt quite natural as I started to push back against Allejandro’s cock. Willing myself to relax, I could feel how Allejandro’s boyhood slowly slid into me. It was a strangely familiar feeling as I managed to gradually take Allejandro’s full length inside of me.
Then I heard Allejandro softly mumble something and less than a second later, he quickly pulled out of me. Immediately he started to apologize, telling me it wasn’t his intention to do anything like that.
“I know you didn’t, I did. Now, put it back in!” I said after I’d turned my head.
“Are you sure?” Allejandro asked, sounding incredulous.
“Yes, and you’d better do it before I change my mind,” I replied.
I then felt how he carefully re-entered me, almost like he was afraid to go too fast. That didn’t last long though as he soon found a rhythm and I managed to start manipulating his cock inside of me. Soon I heard Allejandro beginning to pant as he put his arms around me, holding on to me almost as if for dear life.
“God Rudee, I’m going to cum,” Allejandro grunted and just moments later I felt him squirting inside of me.
I had to smile as I knew that a visit to the bathroom was definitely needed, if the feeling in my gut was anything to go on. Allejandro still lay panting on the bed as I left the bedroom and quickly made for the toilet bowl. I had to smile as I sat down, realizing how many times Allejandro had done this without complaint. It took me a few minutes to expel what had been dumped into me, then I cleaned myself up, flushed and rejoined Allejandro in bed.
“Why?” Allejandro asked after I’d kissed him on the cheek.
“Because I want you to know I’m as much yours as you are mine. Now, do get me right, this isn’t going to happen very often and I would appreciate it if you didn’t tell any of the other boys,” I smiled.
“I won’t tell anyone, but could I please have my turn now?” Allejandro laughed, raising his legs up in the air.
I wasn’t going to let him ask me twice, so for the next 15 minutes I was happily fucking his skinny ass and definitely enjoying it. Afterwards, Allejandro and I rapidly got ourselves ready to face another day. Luckily, we weren’t the last ones down, so the general sniffling was only minimal as we sat down to have breakfast. We actually had a leisurely morning, with the boys down in their game room while Allejandro and I were joined by Aidan and Jordan on the patio. When lunch was over, Felipe wanted to go upstairs, but I asked him to wait until after Will’s visit as I expected him to arrive at any moment.
It was just a little past 1 o’clock when Will called and Allejandro and I went outside to open the car gate and wait for him. I couldn’t help but smile as he got out of his car and almost gamboled towards us. Walking into the house, I asked if Will wanted a drink and he told me a soda would be great as he was parched. My guess was that he’d had a late night and was still a bit hung over, but I didn’t comment on it.
As soon as we went out onto the patio and Will had his first good look at the garden, he became his animated self again. Wanting to know how many guests we were expecting to attend, Allejandro and I did some calculating and came up with a maximum of about 30 people. Just those that currently lived here would make 14, 16 if we counted ourselves in and we did expect some friends and possibly even family. At that, Will started walking around and soon found an area that he thought would be perfect to hold the ceremony. I think he definitely had a broad imagination as he started talking about the placement of a dais and a few rows of seats, gesturing extensively.
“And when the ceremony is over, we could have tables over there and move the seats for the party afterwards. Which reminds me that we haven’t discussed entertainment yet,” Will babbled enthusiastically. “Would you like to have some kind of band, just a DJ or something completely different?” he asked.
Allejandro and I looked at each other and honestly felt a bit taken by surprise.
“I’d go with a DJ,” Aidan, who’d been walking along, suggested. “A band usually specializes in only one type of music and I think some versatility is called for.”
I thought he did have a point there and we discussed it as we slowly walked back towards the patio. We decided that a DJ with a wide selection of music would be best and then Will wanted to know about catering, flowers and so on. I liked the idea of having almost everything catered for as it would free Pietro and Mauricio of their usual duties. We would have to ask Pietro to make the wedding cake though, I didn’t think he’d forgive us if we didn’t at least ask him.
I got the impression that Will was really taken with the garden and he wanted to know if Pietro and Mauricio expected a similar amount of guests. Jordan took it upon himself to go and find them and they soon joined us outside. Will bombarded them with the same questions he’d asked me and Allejandro and I could tell Pietro and Mauricio were equally taken aback by them. I have to say that Will’s gusto worked contagiously and we all eagerly discussed a myriad of options and possibilities.
By the time we’d talked everything through, it was already getting close to 4 o’clock and we were on our second glass of wine. Then Allejandro reminded me of the papers Will needed and I quickly retrieved them from the safe and handed them over to him. He browsed through the stack and with a broad grin told us it was perfect. He would start the ball rolling the next day and would certainly keep us apprised.
As Allejandro and I were seeing him out, Will told us that we should get our suits and those for the boys ‘as soon as possible’. I couldn’t help but ask him why there would be such haste as we still had four months.
“Mr. Peters, Mr. Lizana, the more things you get out of the way well ahead of time, the less stressful the last few weeks and days will be. I think the two of you, as well as Pietro and Mauricio, will make great couples and I’m truly honored you’ve chosen me to assist you. We marry out of love and not because it’s expected by family and friends,” he replied, clearly emphasizing the word ‘we’.
I think it was only at that moment, that I realized I appreciated his brutal honesty more than anything else. As we got to his car and he stretched out his hand, I grabbed it and pulled him close to give him a hug. God knows the guy deserved it and Allejandro had absolutely no problem in following my example. Will rapidly got into the driver’s seat and we watched as he drove off through the car gate, wiping his nose on the sleeve of his jacket.
Jordan must have gone down to the game room and announced Will’s departure as we found Felipe waiting near the stairs when Allejandro and I walked back into the house. With a big grin on his face, Allejandro told me to have fun and walked on towards the patio. The grin on Felipe’s face was equally big, as he grabbed my hand and started pulling me up the stairs.
I must say that my intermezzo with Felipe was a lot of fun and above all quite enlightening. As it turned out, Abelardo had confessed to being gay the previous day, which had made him quite popular in the pool. Luis and Mario, however, definitely were into girls, though they had admitted to fooling around together out of curiosity and because circumstances had allowed them to. It explained the difference in how the twins had said goodbye to their guests and made me wonder if I’d ever see Luis and Mario again.
As we came back to the ground floor, Felipe continued on down as I made my way out to the patio to find Aidan and Allejandro talking. I just stood behind them for a little while, listening in on their conversation. I could hear Allejandro telling Aidan enthusiastically about the suits we planned on wearing, both ourselves and for the other boys. I got the impression that Aidan liked the idea and was thinking about white suits for himself and Jordan also. Both heads turned when I coughed a bit to get their attention and I sat down with them.
Monday morning was really weird with all of the boys, including Russel, leaving early. If it hadn’t been for Pietro and Mauricio, I think I would have felt quite lonely. I got my usual cup of coffee and went into the study to review some of the lessons I’d done the previous week. I kept at it until close to 12 o’clock and then waited for the first three boys to get back home. It would become my habit over the course of the week and time simply sped by. We had a few visits from Bernardo and Abelardo, who really seemed to enjoy spending time with my boys.
On Friday morning I got an unexpected call from my realtor, telling me about an apartment complex that was for sale that I might be interested in. It was a beachfront property and, according to Pietro’s uncle, in pretty good shape. We agreed that I’d go and have a look at it the next day and would then get back to him on it. When I told Allejandro about it after he got home, he appeared quite interested and wanted to come with me. I liked the idea of just the two of us going out together and suggested we’d make it into a full afternoon and evening out. I could tell Allejandro liked the idea too, so I took out my cell phone and made reservations for dinner the next day.
When Aidan got home around 5 o’clock, I asked him if he’d be willing to keep an eye on the boys on Saturday and he assured me it wouldn’t be a problem. I think he rather enjoyed the prospect of ‘having the boys to himself’, not fully realizing the risk he was taking. After we had dinner, I took Hugo aside as I wanted to talk to him about his birthday plans. At first glance, he looked to be over the fact that Johan wouldn’t be able to attend, even though I knew better. With a big grin on his face, he told me that he definitely wanted to invite Bernardo and Abelardo, who’d started to become household fixtures. It was something I knew I’d have to expect from now on, having seen how popular the two boys were during their visits.
Before going to bed that evening, Allejandro and I talked some more about the apartment complex we were going to view the next day. Allejandro suggested that if the complex was decent enough, we could have Johan and Karim turn it into an all-gay resort, making it rather unique in the area. I really liked his reasoning, not to mention the fact that we could probably charge a little extra for the privilege and freedom to be themselves the guests would have. It was fun, toying with ideas like that and Allejandro was quite good and enthusiastic about it. Things were still up in the air though, as we had yet to see what the complex looked like.
Saturday afternoon, around 2 o’clock, Allejandro and I got ourselves ready to go out. Bernardo and Abelardo had arrived shortly after lunch and I knew Aidan was looking forward to seeing the boys go for a swim. As we drove off, I could see Allejandro shake his head.
“I do hope he’ll be able to handle them,” he whispered softly.
