"Becky, this is Jaiden, Peyton and I want to say thank you for helping to arrange the celebration this past weekend. We all had a great time and I know Mom did not have the time to pull off so many surprises without your help. Peyton and I will be staying with Mom over Spring Break, so I will bring him by so everyone can meet him. I love you beyond measure for supporting me over the years."
"You and Peyton are welcome, Jaiden, and you both deserve nothing but happiness. We all feel so blessed to have been a part of your celebration."
Mom called. Peyton and I will be meeting everyone at the motel around 10 this morning to go see the sites around the area.
We got to the motel and Mom asked where she and all the grandmas could see some local art work. I told her about this neat little pottery shop in Brevard. "Jaiden, is it easy to get to?" "It is, Mom. You go into Brevard and make a left at the traffic light in front of the Methodist church and go about two miles and it is on the right.
We got to the pottery studio and both moms and the grandmas loved the place. By the time they left, they had just about filled up the car with beautiful pieces of pottery. I told Mom to make a right upon leaving the shop and I took them a few miles up the road to see a beautiful hidden waterfall. Grandma Jenny sat down on the ground, shut her eyes and let the sound of rushing water take her into a utopian dream. Everyone commented how beautiful and peaceful it was sitting below the falls and listening to the water rushing downstream.
The grandads wanted to see some woodwork, so we headed up to Maggie Valley to see the shop where an artisan uses a chainsaw to carve out life-sized statues of animals and people and then sands and polishes them to perfection. Grampy saw a horse he was going to buy and I asked, "Grampy, did you look at the price tag, this man's work is very expensive. That deer you want is only $4,500.00.' Grampy looked at me and said, "Let's keep walking, son."
Grandpa is an avid hunter, so we headed up to Cataloochee to see the elk. He had no idea the place was around. Normally the elk are out fairly early in the morning or late in the afternoon, but we were lucky they were out at mid-day so our grandads just stood at the edge of the fields and marveled at all the elk, especially at the huge buck with a rack that must have been five feet wide.
While they were looking at the elk, I took Jaiden by the hand and led him down to the Caldwell house. He loved the place but said people carving their names into the woodwork took the beauty out. I took him upstairs and into one of the bedrooms. Nobody was around so I pushed him against the wall and gave him a long, passionate kiss. If I could be sure we wouldn't be interrupted...
It was lunch time and we were hungry, so Peyton and I took everybody to a restaurant next to the Meadowlark. We were quickly seated, ordered our food, and got started on our drinks.
I explained to everybody that this was Popcorn Sutton's favorite place to eat. Pawpaw asked who Popcorn was and I explained "Popcorn Sutton was perhaps the most famous chain-smoking moonshiner in US history and how he got caught with 500 gallons of moonshine hidden in a tank in a buried school bus; how the federal judge didn't like him; and how he committed suicide the day before he was to report to Federal prison to serve an 18 month sentence.
Pawpaw, he was a colorful character who could cuss up a storm, but...he was also a great dad to his children putting two daughters through medical school off his moonshine profits. On his grave marker, they wrote `Popcorn Sutton said Fuck You." Pawpaw just laughed.
We headed to Ashville and the Biltmore Mansion. It took a little over two hours to tour the place and when we all got outside, Grandma Jenny looked at Pawpaw and told him that if he ever built a house like that, she would shoot him. Both moms had a good laugh on that comment.
We all went to a restaurant in Waynesville and had an awesome southern dinner after which we all met back at the Hilton. Everybody got a hug and kiss since they would be going home in the morning and Peyton and I would be going to our last week of classes before spring break.
We got in Jaiden's car and slowly drove back to the university. We were so tired when we walked into the apartment. We just sat on the couch and watched a bit of tv. Jaiden stretched out his legs and put his feet on his favorite hassock that he brought from home. I curled up as close to him as I could get and pulled my legs up to my right side. It felt so right as I put my arm under his and held his hand for the longest.
Finals were completed for the end of the semester and Jaiden and I got out grades. With the extra credit questions, we both made a 110 on the test. All A's this semester and on Dean's list again. We had been packing the clothes and toiletries we would need at home all week.
Friday morning, we packed Jaiden's car and headed toward his home. Two hours later, we were there. Abingdon, Virginia is so beautiful.
"Dr. Reynolds' Office, how may I help you." "Hey Becky, this is Jaiden. Is Mom free for a minute?" "She sure is hon, hang on for a sec." "Hey son, have you and Peyton left yet?" "Yes, mam, we are actually here but we haven't gone to the house yet.
Peyton and I want to play a trick on everybody at the office so I need to know if you have shown them a picture of Peyton." "Nope, not yet." "Great. We'll see you in about an hour. Don't say anything to Becky, Carol, or Angie."
I took Peyton to the Walmart Superstore and we bought three bouquets of flowers.
We are going to go to the office and park down the street. Peyton is going to be a flower delivery man and take the flowers to the ladies in the office.
Then he's going to meet me at the side of the office and I will take him through the back door that I had a key to and let Mom take us to her office where there was a big table for meetings.
Peyton put the flowers in a box and then walked through the front door. Hi, I'm Joseph from Gerald's Flower Boutique, is there a Becky here. "I'm Becky." "I have some flowers for you." "Thank you, young man, they are very pretty." "How about a Carol and Angie?" Angie stepped to the window and said "I'm Angie" after which Carol did the same. "Joseph" gave them their flowers. Becky spoke up and said, "there is no card, who are they from." "I not sure, I was just told to deliver them by my boss."
Peyton came out and we walked to the rear of the office and went in through the back door. Mom saw us come in and I motioned for her to be quiet. I whispered to her that I wanted her to put us in her office and them tell Becky, Carol, and Angie she wanted to have a quick meeting. She grinned from ear to ear and headed to the front office to get the ladies. There was a Japanese screen in the office behind which Peyton and I hid.
The ladies entered Mom's office and sat at the table. Mom started talking telling the she had just opened a letter from a new patient pouring on the praise for the ladies and how nice they had been to him. At that moment, Peyton and I stepped from behind the screen. All three ladies put their hands to their mouths and Becky started tearing up. Then came the squeals. Becky, Carol, Angie, I would like to introduce you to my fiancé, Peyton.
Becky looked at me and said. "Jaiden! You sure know how to pick'em." Mom about died laughing and told Becky that Peyton's sister, Jenny, had said the same thing at the dinner last week. "Carol said, "Well he is a looker. If Peyton wasn't with him, I'd sure give it the old cougar try." Everybody laughed. We stayed about 20 minutes and then headed for the house. I was going to put Peyton in the guest room, but when I got in the house, Mom had left a note on my bedroom door.
Jaiden, there's no reason to change the University bedroom arrangement, so you boys can stay in your bedroom. "Jaiden, does she love me that much that she would let us sleep together here?"
"That's not all Peyton, I didn't read the whole note to you." He took me to the right side of the bed and opened the night stand drawer." Inside the drawer were special condoms for gay men and a bottle of the best warming lube you can buy." I grabbed Jaiden and gave him a loving, tender kiss and told him "thank you for loving me. Thank you that your Mom has shown me so much love and acceptance."
"You are certainly welcome, love. Now let's hit the shower."
We walked into a bathroom that was one large tiled room with a shower like the one in the junior dorms at Wellstone. We stripped down and Jaiden got us two wash cloths and two super-soft towels. He cut on the water and it was instantly warm at his preferred temp. "Step back, Peyton and get under the water. I got my body wet and Jaiden started washing my hair. Once the shampoo was washed out, he applied a conditioner that smelled like flowers straight out of Maui, Hawaii.
He washed my back scrubbing it exactly the way I like to do it. He got down to my butt and made sure to gently massage it all, then the legs front and back and then each foot. I sat in shower chair as he massaged the bottoms of my feet applying just the right amount of pressure to the plantar muscles.
All of a sudden, he swung me around and started washing my shoulders working down to his favorite toy. He took a hand-held shower head and thoroughly rinsed my body. Then he grabbed his favorite toy and started to give the glans head a thumb-massage. It immediately sprang into action like a good sailor does and saluted him. "Peyton, close your eyes and relax." I obeyed him and all of a sudden, I was in the Garden of Eden as Jaiden gave me the best head I have ever had. I let him know when the Mississippi River was about to flow past him. He stood up as he finished the head massage causing me to flood the floor of his bathroom. He cleaned his toy well and then got a towel and dried me and himself off with the same towel.
When we were dried off, he took my hand and led me to his bed. When he turned the covers back, he said, "I don't believe this, Mom bought baby blue silk sheets and put them on the bed.
Lie down on your stomach love. I complied and he took a bottle of lotion and applied it from my neck down to my feet. Then he ordered me to turn over and I did. He started gently applying the lotion to my face and worked down to my feet. He made sure his toy was caressed and lotioned up and comfortable. I returned his love and them pulled him close. He spooned me and we fell asleep for a well-deserved, long nap. We woke up just in time to get dressed to go to dinner with Mom.
When Mom finally got home, she said "I thought we would go to the country club for dinner. They're having Jaiden's favorite prime rib and grilled asparagus with a nice salad. Is that ok with you Peyton?" "It is Mom, thank you." You are welcome, son."
As Mom got to the door, she turned around and said, "The ladies at the office want to take you two to lunch tomorrow. I obligated you, hope you don't mind."
"That's fine, Mom. We'll be there at 12 when you usually close the office for lunch.
"I love you two to the moon and back." Peyton replied, "We love you the same. See you in the morning."
