In the Begining 
Part 15 


------------------------------------------------- 


"Justin, I need some time at the cabin." 


"Brian, just go, you don't need my permission." 


"I mean, would you come with me?" 


"You're asking me out to the cabin with you?" 


"Apparently" 


"Are you sure?" 


"Justin, I have a business decision to make, I'd like some quiet time to think, I'd appreciate your opinion. Yes or no?" 


"Is sex involved?" 


"Is sex ever involved between the two of us?" 


"Occasionally" 


"Daphne, said she would stay with Molly and Spike for the weekend. We can leave Saturday morning and come back late Sunday or early Monday." 


"Great, I'll be ready." Justin had been lying on his side facing Brian. He leaned over giving his lover a kiss and was about to get out of bed when Brian grabbed him and pulled him closer his locking onto Justin's and his tongue franticly exploring Justin's mouth. "Geez Brian, can't I even give you a casual kiss?" 


"Not when you look like this Sunny Boy." 


Justin looked down confused "like what?" 


"Like sugar candy" 


"Sugar candy?" 


Brian began to lick and taste Justin, nuzzling his neck and moving on down his torso "All pink, and sweet your body is just begging to be eaten." Moving lower, "see you even come with a handy handle" he grabbed Justin's cock "the handle can be used for all sorts of things." 


Justin started to giggle, looked into Brian's eyes and caved. "You are insatiable." He reached down and kissed Brian "but I love every minute of it." The morning games began. Justin made a mental note to set the alarm fifteen minutes earlier each morning. Getting ready for work was taking longer and longer. 


Meanwhile Molly and Spike were in the family room watching cartoons when the doorbell rang. 


Molly peeked out the window, Justin had told her to always make sure she knew who was at the door. She tall a tall gray haired lady with a nice blue dress and a chocolate cake in her hands. 


"What do you think Spike, a lady with a cake must me OK to talk to." 


Molly cautiously opened the door "Hello" 


"Hi, is Brian Kinney here?" 


Sounds of passionate lovemaking were echoing down the stairway. 


Both Molly and the lady looked up the stairs. "Brian and Justin are exercising. Justin was in a car accident and Brian helps him exercise every morning, and in the afternoon and at bedtime." 


"BBRRRRRIIIIAAAN...... yes, yes, harder " 


The lady looked pale. Molly just shrugged, "don't worry about it, he has to make his hand work better." 


Thump, thump, thump, thump, "Juuuusssstiiiin" 


"That's it then, Brian always says that and then the exercise is over until later. Do you want to come in? That's a nice cake." 


"I'm Brian's mother, how long has he lived here?" Mrs. Kinney came in and set the cake down on the table. 


"I'm Molly, Brian's my guardian and he's Justin's Booooyfriend. They kiss all the time, it's soooo gross. I'm never going to kiss boys ever." 


"You'll probably change your mind when you get older. And who's this little guy?" Mrs. Kinney bent down to pat Spike. 


"That's Spike, Brian gave him to me. He was sad 'cause he gave away Princess and her babies to the SPCA so he got me Spike. Know what? Spike doesn't like Brian" Molly giggled "he scratches him every day." 


"Spike's a smart little kitty." 


Upstairs, Brian and Justin lay on the bed, getting back their wind. "Did you hear the door bell Brian?" 


"I heard bells Sunshine, but I don't think it was at the door." 


"Twat" Justin cuffed him upside the head "Listen, is that Molly talking to someone?" 


Brian held still, listening "I think she is, it sounds like she has whoever it is in the house. We'd better go check." 


"We'd better check?? You're the daddy here, you go check." 


"Watch that mouth Sonny Boy, or you'll be sorry." 


"Think you could take me old man?" Justin swatted him again and jumped out of bed and ran for the bathroom, shutting the door quickly. 


"I'm making you pay for that Brat." 


"Maybe we'll have to exercise some more this morning. I just hate exercising all the time. It's soooo hard." 


Brian was smiling as he pulled on his jeans. Weekends had never been so much fun. He walked down the stairs still smiling wearing his tight jeans and no shirt with his feet bare. "Miss Molly, did I hear the door bell?" 


When he reached the bottom of the stairs he looked into the family room and couldn't believe what he was seeing. Molly and Spike were playing with a ball entertaining his mother and his mother was actually laughing. "Mom, what are you doing here?" 


"Brian, your mom likes Spike and Spike likes your mom. She said I could call her Nanny, 'cause she's your Mom and you and Justin are sort of in a relationship. What's a relationship?" 


"Brian, I didn't find you at your apartment so I asked the Novatney boy's mother and she told me where to find you." 


"Isn't she just the helpful little thing." 


"We haven't seen each other for weeks, I brought you a chocolate chocolate chip cake." 


"Can I have a piece Brian?" 


"Sure Pumpkin" 


"Brian, are you coming back" Justin trailed down the stairs, hitching up his sweats as he made his way down the stairs. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know we had company." 


"Justin, meet my mother, Joan Kinney" 


"Justin, it's nice to meet you. I see both you and Brian have recovered nicely from you morning exercise session. Molly and I were just commenting on how much effort you both seem to put into these sessions. She tells me the two of you devote time for at least three sessions a day." She looked steely eyed at Brian "I'm surprised that either of you can walk at the end of the day." 


Brian and Justin both turned crimson. "Mom's been here for about twenty minutes Justin." 


"Ohhh" 


"I would suggest that the two of you use a little bit of quiet restraint during your exercise sessions, at least when Molly is home. She will grow older and remember these things." 


"Look Mom this isn't a good time for a visit, you could call before you come over. We'd be more prepared." 


"I would hope so. Brian, Molly tells me that you and Justin are in a relationship. What does she mean?" 


"Mrs. Kinney, Brian doesn't do relationships, it's like one of his main rules. Molly's just a little kid, she doesn't understand. Brian and I are just friends, good friends." 


"Apparently, very good friends." 


"Well, Mom, too bad you have to go. I'll call soon." Brian had his mother's arm and was trying to lead her to the door. 


"Brian, your manners," Joan Kinney turned to Justin. "Now that I'm here and have met you Justin, I might as well stay for a coffee and some cake. Thank you for offering Brian. Oh Brian, while Justin and I are getting to know one another, why don't you put the coffee on and serve the cake. Molly dear you help your guardian, he looks confused." 


Brian looked at Justin and his Mother and shook his head. Saturday was not turning out like he had planned. Molly skipped over and took his hand "Brian Lion help me cut the cake. I helped Justin buy different coffee, can you make the new kind this morning?" 


Brian and Molly retreated to the kitchen leaving Justin and Brian's mother alone. "I'm sorry Mrs. Kinney, but Brian has hardly mentioned you, I don't know what to say." 


"That's all right dear, Brian has always been rather close mouthed about his private life. He didn't have a happy childhood, his father was difficult and I wasn't much help in defending him. I'm afraid I was brought up to think that the husband had complete control over the wife." 


"Kind of a slave - Master sort of thing?" 


"Well, not exactly, but close. You have no idea how pleased I was to learn Brian was gay, I thought he'd be able to break the cycle of bad husband and father." 


"Brian has a son Mrs. Kinney." 


"I know -- Brian sometimes forgets that for my generation, Pittsburgh is still a small town and people are always ready to gossip especially if they think it is hurtful." 


"Why did you come over today?" 


"I think it's time Brian remembered he has family. I love my son Justin, my friends have told me that he was seeing someone and I wanted to meet you. I know Brian thinks he doesn't 'do' relationships, but we know better now don't we?" 


"Don't tell Brian that, I know about all his rules and I kind of let him think he still has them." 


"You're young dear and full of hope for the future. I'll pray for the two of you. Living with Brian, you'll need all the help you can get. Now I'd better go before your good friend has apoplexy in the kitchen. You and Molly come for lunch next week I'll tell you all about your Brian Lion " she smiled and walked to the door. "I'll call and arrange a time." She kissed Justin on the cheek and raising her voice Joan Kinney called. "I'm going now Brian, I'll talk to you later. Bye Molly, don't eat too much cake all at once, you'll spoil your lunch." Joan Kinney walked out the door. 


Brian glared at the door and walked up stairs, shutting the bedroom door with force. "What's wrong with Brian, Justin?" Molly asked quietly. 


"He just hates surprises, Mollusk and his Mom visiting was a surprise. You all ready for Daphne?" 


"Yep, we're going to the zoo and then watch movies and eat popcorn. What are you and Brian going to do?" 


"We're going for a little drive in the country and after that I don't know. Maybe exercise for a couple of hours." 


"You guys always exercise. It's just toooo borrring." 


"Gotta stay in shape Mollusk" 


Justin went up the stairs, Brian would need some sweet talk to get him back in a good mood. He opened the door to see Brian laying on the bed fingers pinching the bridge of his nose. Justin crawled up from the end of the bed and put his head on Brian's chest. Brian automatically held him close with one arm. "You OK Brian?" 


"I am now." 


Justin reached up and kissed Brian's cheek. "You look like your Mom." 


"Not much of a compliment Brat" 


"You know what I mean." 


"I do, enough about the Kinney's lets get ready. I could use the magical qualities of the cabin." 


The drive to the cabin was completed in companionable silence each man lost in his own thoughts. When they turned off the highway on to the access road Brian glanced at Justin. "You know, as soon as I feel the gravel under the tires and know the headlights are pointed to the cabin, it's like a weight leaves me and I'm in another world." 


"That's why we have it Brian. I knew you needed something like this 'cause I sure do." 


"Are you sure you're only nineteen?" 


"Funny Brian." 


"Do you want the serious conversation first or will we fool around first?" 


"Is it bad serious?" 


"No, just a business thing I'd like your advice about." 


"My advice?" 


"Yes, yours, to tell you the truth, it's nice to talk things out with someone who understands business dealings and profit and loss. I've never had anyone to talk about these things with before I met you." 


"What about Mikey? I thought he was your best friend." 


"He is, he's great to have a drink with at Woodies or tell fuck tales to about tricks but business dealings - think about it Justin, would you ask Mikey's advice about things like that?" 


"I wouldn't ask Mikey the time. The man still dresses like he's in grade six for gawd's sake. I mean where do you find shit like that in his size? Not to mention he has the table manners of a goat." 


"Justin, be nice, just accept him for what he is." 


"I do Brian, that's why he's your friend and my acquaintance." 


"Grab a beer we'll go sit on the dock and talk." 


The two of them took their beer and walked down to the chairs facing the water. "It's like this Justin, I've been approached by a friend to buy Babylon with him in a partnership arrangement. It's a big commitment for me to make and I'm not sure about the partnership thing." 


"Wow Brian, that's a lot of money for you to come up with even as a half owner." 


"I know, it's not the money part, I have that, but I don't know anything about running an operation like Babylon." 


"Have you seen the books?" 


"Yes, and I've talked to Saperstein about the day to day operation. That's another thing, do we keep him on as manager. I mean, he's done a good job but I don't know the man other than to say hi." 


Justin was in his element, while he wouldn't be attending Dartmouth and getting a Business degree, he had been operating successful businesses and advising on others almost as long as he could remember. The two of them talked as equals into the evening finally coming to an agreement on Brian's new adventure. 


Later that night: 


"That was a terrific supper Justin." 


"I aim to please." 


"I haven't had a roast cooked that way since I was a kid. It's one of the better memories of my childhood. The oven roasted potatoes, carrots and rutabaga made me smile when they appeared on the table tonight. This really is a child's kind of place though I wouldn't want to do this often or I'll be spending all my time on the treadmill." 


"The main course was from your childhood and dessert is from mine." Justin began serving chocolate mousse in crystal martini glasses. He'd decorated the mousse with flowers of candied ginger. 


"Chocolate pudding is your favorite dessert?" 


"This is not chocolate pudding, try it and see if it reminds you of Bill Cosby." 


Brian accepted a spoonful of the decadent dessert, made with the finest dark Belgian chocolate and whipped cream flavored with chocolate liquor. "My gawd, no way can I eat a whole dish of this." 


"Bet I can find a way you might make an exception." 


"I have a few ideas myself. Remember ice cream kisses?" 


"No, you'll have to do something to remind me." 


Brian pulled him onto his lap and fed him a spoonful of the chocolate. "Remember now?" 


"Didn't we have a bit less clothing on? Or was that someone else?" 


"It better not have been someone else." 


Justin stood up and began a sensual strip tease alternating with bites of chocolate from Brian's spoon. "Your turn now big boy" Brian smiled and tried to imitate Justin's sensual strip dance. Justin tried his best but he couldn't hold back the giggles. "Uh, Bri, give it up Baby, just take the damn clothes off and lets fuck." 


"What's so funny?" 


"Your chocolate mustache." Justin fibbed. 


Brian pulled him in for a kiss. "I hope that's what you were giggling about Brat." 


"Come on outside leave your dessert. I'll show you my variation of ice cream kisses." 


"Naked?" 


"Chicken?" 


Brian started for Justin, but Justin being younger escaped out the door running towards the lake. He slowed down and let Brian catch him. "The other side of the boat house has a surprise." He grabbed Brian's hand and walked him to the boat house. A double hammock had been set up under an arbor. Justin walked over and flipped a switch. Hundreds of tiny white lights twinkled from the bushes and trees, soft music began playing. Champagne was chilling in an ice bucket beside a silver tray complete with crystal champagne flutes. A crystal plate nestled on crushed ice held tiny white chocolate thimbles filled with the chocolate mousse. "Dessert tonight Brian Lion is audience participation. Brian was fascinated with the setting. He climbed into the hammock Justin slipping in beside him. "Someday, Boy Wonder, you'll have to tell me how you do these things." He kissed him gently. 


"They say the way to a man's heart is to keep him guessing." 


"You have my heart Baby and you know it."
