Now just sit back and enjoy! The Cabin by the Lake Chapter 7
Terry and Stan were in Hawaii soaking up sun and just loafing on the beach. Richard and Loretta had flown to Georgia to visit their son and grandchildren. The place was deserted except for Dennis and Kyle
Kyle and Dennis spent the few days left before Christmas planning and organizing their little party. The last day before the guests arrived, they spent cooking mincemeat pies, making sourdough bread, and sweet potato salad. They baked a mountain of cookies for all the kids-young and old, to spoil their appetites, along with 4 different kinds of homemade candy. They fixed several bowls of non-alcohol punch and a couple of gallons of hot buttered rum mix, again to be used without the alcohol. They made three gallons of spiced apple cider and all that was needed was for it to be heated and served. Dennis and Kyle hoped that no one would want liquor, but just in case there would be some on hand..
All that was left was take the snowcats and go pick up the guests. Dennis and Kyle decided that each of them would take a snow cat because one would not be large enough for all the people, luggage, presents and what ever the guests decide to bring with them. Both of the guys knew how to handle the cat and really enjoyed driving, so now there would be no arguments over who would drive. Actually, there were never any arguments. Whoever jumped in the drivers seat first became the driver.
Dennis and Kyle were the last to arrive in the parking lot. When they pulled up, people started piling out of vehicles and the activities bus. Kids, decked out in their new snow gear were running everywhere, throwing snowballs at everyone. The parking lot turned into one big battleground and the snowball fight started. Kids vs. Adults. The kids won because the adults tired first and gave up the battle. Soon, it was time to load the snowcats and head for Elk Lake and the fun that lay ahead.
Of course, all the kids wanted to ride in one snowcat, so Dennis put them in Kyle's cat.
"You just wait, Dennis I will get even with you."
"Just remember, Kyle, you were this age once. Just grin and bear it!" Dennis said laughing. "I get to pick my punishment!"
"Oh, no you don't. The kids and I will tackle you and fill your pants with snow and tie you up so you can't get out of them," roared Kyle. "You'll have a first class case of blue balls and it won't be from lack of sex, either!"
"John, would you just look at Kyle. He is so happy and relaxed. I think someone up above was looking out for him. I was afraid for awhile that his break-up would have bad effects on him," Jennie said.
"Jennie, I don't think we have to worry about him any longer. Even if this turns out just to be a romantic fling, I think Kyle has put the gloom and doom behind him. I think he is just living in the present now and just taking a peek at the future," John replied. "All aboard! Let's move out!" shouted Kyle.
It is a good thing that the cats were loaded before the snowball fight because it took only about 30 seconds for the parking lot to become void of people. The snowcats were equipped with a PA system. Kyle and Dennis explained the agenda for the week ahead while driving to the cabin by the lake.
It was Christmas Eve so the first item on the agenda was a Christmas party. After rooms were assigned and every one had moved his or her belongs into them, everyone went to the big house for the party.
First the tree had to be decorated. Kyle wanted every thing on it to be hand made. Each person had to join making the decorations. He started popping corn to string. More popcorn was eaten than strung, so he was busy for a long time. Dennis got out the cranberries. Every one got a needle and thread and the cranberries were strung. Paper chains were quickly made and draped all around the room. There were lots of colored paper, crayons, scissors, glue, and glitter available. One of the teenage boys used aluminum foil to make a star for the top of the tree. He had learned to make a three dimensional one when he was in elementary school and still remembered how to do it. Soon the best looking tree in the whole country was standing in the center of the room. Kyle had gotten his wish, not a single store-bought ornament was on the tree. The crowd just stood around the tree clapping.
Now the fun part was ready to begin. It was time to open presents. The youngest children were selected to play `Santa Clause' and distribute the gifts but no one could open them until every last one lay in front of its intended receiver.
"Ok, rip those packages open! Don't waste anymore time!" shouted Dennis.
Squeals of delight filled the room. Everyone received gifts from Dennis and Kyle. After all the packages were open, Kyle escorted the group into one of the bedrooms where all the big things had been stored, such as bikes, skate boards, scooters, and computers. What was a surprise was that Judy Clark had taken the families shopping and had each member buy one thing for the boys. Everyone had to make cards to give to the boys. Needless to say Kyle and Dennis had a overload of cds and movies. Both Dennis and Kyle were overcome with emotion with what they received , but they liked the home made cards the best of all.
Edith, one of the mothers, stood up and with tears running down her checks announced, "Please, may I have your attentions." My husband and I lost our jobs right after Christmas a year go. We have not been able to find work and begging on the street corners did not help. We were just about ready to give up. Roger and I were thinking about committing robbery so that our children could have one last Christmas. We both knew that we would end up in prison and our children placed in foster homes. Only one thing stopped us. Ms. Clark knocked on our door and took us to meet you two angles-in- disguise. Dennis and Kyle, you are both so young but you are giants in our eyes and hearts. I want to take this time to show you our appreciation." Edith could not go and was crying uncontrollably.
Her husband, Roger, stood, "Boys, what she is trying to say is THANKS! You have given us the courage and strength to go on. Without you , our lives would have been over. Some how, some way, We will find a way to repay you." Now he had tears running down his cheeks. Everyone in the room was standing, clapping, and crying.
Everyone began to chant. "Thank you!"
Dennis stood and raised his hands. Immediately a hush fell over the room. "Kyle, please come and stand by my side. You are involve in all of this and have put as much time and effort in the planning and preparing for this celebration as I have. Friends, we appreciate your gratitude and appreciation that you have shown. That is enough repayment for us. I inherited a rather large estate from my mother. Kyle came into my life a short time ago. We decided that this year, we wanted to give some of it back and give some families A Christmas to remember. Giving is what Christmas is all about. You have given us far more than we have given. So for the rest of the week, we want each of you to enjoy being here, and leave your troubles behind. Let's make this the best Christmas ever. Tonight in your prayers, let's thank God for making all this possible. What do you say? Let's get the party started!"
"Yes!" Everyone shouted back.
Everyone rushed the boys and started hugging and kissing them. Then they turned to their neighbors and hugged them. Now the fun began.
Hot buttered rums, hot spiced apple cider and punch were placed on a large table si everybody could serve themselves. Dennis and Kyle brought out the mountain of cookies and other treats out of the kitchen. One of the women went to the piano and started playing Christmas carols. Everyone joined in the singing. Some a little off key, but who cared!
The singing was starting to run down and it was obvious that something else was needed to take it's place. "Hey Dennis, what do you say about taking our guests downstairs to the game room and turn them loose. I am sure that everyone will find something to do occupy their time," suggested Kyle.
"Good idea. Thanks Man! You just saved the party. Since this is your idea, you're in charge," responded Dennis. "You got it! Hey, Everyone. For the rest of the evening each person is on his or her own and must find their own entertainment. To help you out a little, please follow me downstairs to my most favorite room in the whole house. Refill your drinks and grab some goodies and let's be off," Kyle said.
"We are going to the basement where there is an unbelievable game room. You will find shuffleboard, pinball machines , electronic games, video games, foosball tables, table tennis, air hockey, pool tables, card tables, and all kinds of board games. There's even a miniature bowling alley. I probably forgot half the stuff that is down there. I am sure everyone can find something to do. If not, we have a separate room with a big screen TV. If you are ready, let's be on our way," Kyle informed the guests. "In fact, you will think that we have our own penny-arcade. I guess in a way we do."
The guests all sucked air when they saw the game room. Squeals of delight was all that could be heard. Everyone split and went to their favorite game only to be joined by one or more of their friends.
At midnight, one of the mothers announced that her family would be going to bed. She had let her children stay up way past their bedtime. However, this was vacation time and no school and a time to have fun. The rest of the guest all agreed.
"I am going to let you sleep in tomorrow, breakfast will be at 8:30. There will be no wake up call since every room has an alarm clock. So good night, we will see you in the morning." Dennis asked, "Hey, before you go, does anyone have any food allergies?" No one spoke up and they all shook their heads no. "Oh, one more thing, There are no street lights so would each family pick up two flashlights on your way out. They will be in a box by the door. See you in the morning and have a good night."
Kyle asked, "Dennis, I think I need a hot cocoa before I hit the sack. May I fix you one?"
"Sure thing, Bud. Sounds good to me," Dennis replied. "Oh, Hi, Dad. I didn't see you come in. Would you like to join us for some hot cocoa?"
"I wanted to have a little family meeting but we can do it while drink our cocoa. Kyle, please feel welcome to join us." Dad said. "Not a problem, but from the look on your face, I would say it is serious," commented Kyle.
"It is Kyle and I just don't know what to do."
"Dad, let me guess. All of this has something to with Kevin. Right?'
"Correct. First, let's go to the kitchen and fix our cocoa. Then we can have our little discussion." Dad said. The three of them came back into the living room and sat down on the couch. Jim was in the middle. The boys made sure that they were close to Dad, so close that their bodies were touching.
"Boys, I guess I shouldn't keep calling you that because you are both fine young men. However, you will always be my little boys." said Dad.
"You are right, Dad. Kyle and I may have a man's body but we'll always be your little boys inside," said Dennis with tears in his eyes. " I'll never get too big for a hug. May I have one now?"
"I want one, too.!" Kyle said with tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Not a problem, because now I get two hugs and right now that's what I need most in the world." Dad said with tears flowing. "As you both know, I have been in counseling. Things are not getting any better. In fact, I have resigned my teaching position, starting the firstof the year. I am following the advice of my counselor. She also recommended that I leave Coos Bay because there are just too many memories still there. I sold the house and gave all the furniture away. I put the things I wanted to keep in a small storage unit until such time as I can bear to get them. I am going to Texas to visit my uncle and aunt and all my cousins who live there."
"Dad, why don't you just move in here with us? We have lots of room. Texas is so far away," said Dennis and Kyle shook his head in agreement.
"Dennis, I'd love to but I have to get away from some of the memories that I have. You, Kevin and I had a great life and lots of fun. I have nothing but fond memories. I can never get over losing Kevin, if every time I look at you, I remember what used to be. You have sweet Kyle here to devote all your time, attention, and love. I'd still have no one. I'm afraid it would bemore than I could handle."
Then Kyle spoke up, "Dennis, I know what your Dad is saying and I agree with him. When my partner and I had that nasty split, I felt my world had come to an end. I didn't want to go on living. I thought several times about ending it all. Then I met you. I have never been happier in my whole life. I think your dad is almost in the same place where I was. Jim, I say go have some fun. That special someone is out there waiting for you to find him or her." Both boys had their arms around Jim's shoulders. His tears were really flowing now.
"Dad, I would never try to hold you back. Kyle is right. I want you to remember that we are both here for you if you should ever need us. We're just as close as the phone. Don't hesitate to call. We'll be on the next plane headed to Texas. Love you, Dad," sobbed Dennis.
"Thanks, Boys! You two have done more for me in the last few minutes than the counselor has done since Kevin's death. You know, this is the first time I've acknowledged Kevin's death out loud. I have a feeling of peace and a warm glow on the inside of me now. I know my healing will become a lot easier," Jim said almost smiling.
"Dad, I know what will do you more good than visiting relatives. I'm going in and get on the computer and book you a world wide cruise. Then you can go visit the relatives."
"Dennis, I'm going to go in with you. I get all tingly inside just thinking about it." Kyle said.
"It looks like I have absolutely no say in the matter but I would like to go in with the two of you and throw out some of my ideas of where I want to go," Jim said smiling. "I don't want a gay cruise either and Dennis, I'm going to use my own money. You don't have a say in that matter.
"Then let's get off our duffs and do it," Dennis said.
"So Dad, what do you have in mind where you would like to go," asked Kyle?
"Hey, I like that. I've just increased my sons by 100% . I promise you that I won't make the same mistakes as I did the first time. I will rule with an iron fist."
"Don't pay him any mind. You can twist him around your finger and get anything you want. I'm here to show you how to do it. He is a big sucker for smooth talk and if that doesn't work, try some fake tears," laughed Dennis. "Dad, let's get serious and get your trip planned. What did you have in mind?"
"I have always wanted to travel to New Zealand and Australia, and after that Japan," Jim responded.
"Hey, look at this trip. It's a slow boat to New Zealand. Look at all the Islands the ship will visit before getting there. Of course you would want to book a one way trip, so you can stay as long as you like touring New Zealand and Australia, If you want to fork out that kind of money, then fly to Japan for you next stop. After Japan, you can come home or find another destination," Dennis said.
"Money is no problem. Kevin inherited a lot from his parents and grandparents. He put it all in both of our names so that I would get it if something should happen to him and I did the same. He did not want to trust the courts handling his estate. Gays have problems sometimes. Dennis, he wanted you to have half of his money and you already have gone through his things and took what you wanted."
"The money that he wanted in the scholarship fund is different from this money. This money came from his own money and he had a good broker. He made a lot of money. I did the same and I want my money used in the same way. I have it in my will already. One half of Kevin's inheritance is mine and some day it will be yours along with mine.. You will get your half of Kevin`s estate now."
"You know, Dad, I think we should just look at what is out there and dream. Then we can go into Bend and get travel agent to do all the booking. By the way, have you kept your passport up to date?" Asked Dennis.
"Yes, worry wart, I have. I can see why I did. I almost let it lapse but Kevin kept nagging and I finally gave in," Jim said. "I like the idea of going to a travel agency. We'd probably blotch everything and I would find myself stranding on some deserted island with the biggest, ugliest monster in the whole world and one who didn`t like sex," chuckled Jim.
