We slept in the next morning. It was New Year's Eve and we planned on staying up late.
I've heard some people say that the new millennium and century doesn't really start until January 1, 2001, but I don't get it. If you are born on January 1, 1900, you are 100 years old January 1, 2000. You start your second century January 2, 2000, not January 1, 2001. Go figure. I guess I need Steve Hawking to explain it to me. I'm no math expert but I can count up to 100, or 1000. They say that it has something to do with not counting the zero. What's up with that?
When we finally got up and went down to breakfast we ran into Mom, Dad, Sam, and Norma. We all decided to go cross-country skiing. When we got outside it had stopped snowing but it was cold. We didn't go as far as we did the day before because we had the old folk with us. When we got back we had lunch and talked.
"What do you plan on doing tonight?" I asked.
"They are having a party in the lounge tonight. We plan on bringing in the New Year there. How about you boys, do you want to join us or spend some time together?"
"I'd like to join you. How about you, Mark?"
"I'd like to go to the party too."
"It starts at 10:00 o'clock. All the kids will be there but the drinking will be done only by the adults."
"I'm in no hurry to drink again after the headache I got after that eggnog."
"Are you guys having a good time?"
"We're having a great time. We are going downhill skiing this afternoon."
We talked for a while longer and headed for our room to get ready to go back out. After getting our downhill skis we headed back out and ran into Ken.
"Is Jeff behaving himself?" Mark asked him.
"So far. I woke up this morning and he was wrapped around me but he didn't try anything."
"Where is he now?"
"I have not seen him in about an hour. He said he was going to lunch with the twins."
"Hmmm, we just came from lunch and we didn't see any of them."
"We could go check our room and see if they are in there."
We went to Ken and Jeff's room and Ken put the key card in the lock. He opened the door and we heard some giggling. There was this huge lump under the covers and clothes scattered all over the room.
"What's going on in here?" Mark asked.
"Oh shit," one of them said.
Mark came over and yanked the covers down, revealing three naked pre-teens with boners.
"Get dressed, you guys, we need to have a little talk."
"Are you going to tell our dad?" one of the twins asked.
"We'll talk about that after you're dressed."
The three boys got dressed quickly and Mark pulled me aside.
"I think I'll let you handle this, Mike, I might lose my temper. I'm going to take Ken with me and go the lounge. I'll see you there," Mark whispered.
"Okay, I'll handle it. Why don't you send Dad and Sam down here? I want them in on this."
"I'll get them, and inform them about what happened."
After the boys got dressed, they sat back down on the bed. There was a knock at the door and I let Dad and Sam in. The boys' eyes showed fear.
"You guys can relax. You're not in trouble, at least not yet. Jeff, I don't want you to say a word. You have already gotten in trouble with Mark once this weekend. I asked for your dads to be here just in case there is a problem later. They are not here to yell at you. You're not going to fool them. If you choose to fool around, they're going to know about it."
"When I was your age I used to play around with someone too. It is not unusual for boys your age to play around with each other. As a matter of fact, it is perfectly normal. There are, however, some things that you might not be aware of."
"The first thing, if one of you is sick you can make each other sick. All three of you have heard of AIDS. Do you guys know how you get AIDS?"
"From doing what we were doing?" replied one of the twins.
"That's right. The act itself doesn't give you the disease. But if one of you has done it with someone who has the disease, then you have a chance of getting it."
"We have only done it with each other."
"Until now. Jeff comes from Chicago and you don't know who he has been with. Just so you don't lose any sleep, it is unlikely that you could get AIDS from casual sexual contact but there are a number of other diseases that you could get."
"Another thing you need to think about is, what if all the kids at school found out about what you are doing together?"
"Everybody would tease us."
"That's right. They might even do more that that. If they tell their parents and they file a complaint, they could even take you away from home. How would that make you feel?"
"Why would they do that?"
"They would say that your parents aren't stopping you. They will be afraid that you are going to do something to their kids."
"We never thought of that."
"That's why we are talking. There are many things you have not thought about. Like, what do you think Mark is thinking right now?"
"Is he mad at us?"
"No, he is disappointed. He thinks that you're weak, that you can't control yourselves. He feels that sex is something that should only be shared with someone you're in love with. If you want to be strong like Mark, you need to control yourselves."
"You see, you are being very selfish. Jeff has been through too much for his age and now he has one more thing to deal with. He is my brother now and I'm going to protect him. You didn't consider how your actions would affect me, Mark, your mom and dad, and my mom and dad. We love you guys and we don't want to see you get sick, hurt, or in trouble with your friends."
"If you boys are going to play around and you get caught again, you are going to be in trouble. We won't allow you to play together by yourselves any more. So rule number 1 is don't get caught. Rule number 2 is don't play around with anyone new. Rule number 3 is don't tell anyone about what you do. Rule number 4, if you have a problem, talk to your dads. That is what they are there for. They will understand. Rule number 5, always lock the door. That goes back to rule number 1."
"Dad, Sam, do you have anything you would like to add?"
"I think you just about covered it, Mike. I think that Jeff, Mark, you, and I need to sit down and have a talk but it can wait until we get home. I think that you and Mark should have a talk with Jeff perhaps later this afternoon. I don't want to know what he said that has already gotten him in trouble. I'll let you guys work it out. If you need me, let me know."
"I have a few things to say," said Sam. "There's a reason why you are not able to drive, and stay home alone, have your own room at a motel, drink, smoke, and many other thinks, like sex. It's against the law. There is a reason why it's against the law. We don't want to see you get hurt. I'm responsible for your action until you get older. What do I do to people who break the law, boys?"
"You arrest them."
"Very good. Now, I didn't catch you but Mark did. Who should he arrest?"
"Us?"
"Nope, you're my responsibility. If my kids are misbehaving I'm the one who gets arrested. If I allow my kids to fool around and people find out about it, I could lose my job and everything we have, including you, as Mike pointed out. If you two are fooling around with each other I don't see that as a big problem. But when you start involving others in your play, then we have problems. And don't be fooled. I know that you two have been fooling around. I don't condone this behavior but I also realize I can't stop it. I can't chain you to your beds. But I can and will control how you behave with others. That's one of the reasons why you are sleeping in our room. This isn't the first time you three have played around, is it?"
"Nope," both the twins answered.
"I think that you have learned your lesson. I'm not going to punish you. It wouldn't do any good anyway. I'm not going to tell you what to do either. But if you get caught again, life as you know it will be over. I'm not going to tell your mother; she wouldn't understand. I do and I realize that boys will be boys. So don't get caught. That's it for now; we'll talk more after we get home."
With that, Dad and Sam left. I saw them smile at each other as they went out the door. I was thinking how ironic it is that the boys of our two families seemed to be attracted to each other. It all started with Dad and Sam and then Mark and me and now the twins and Jeff.
"Are you guys okay?"
"Didya hav'ta tell Dad?"
Hmmm, answering my question with a question. Not bad for a 10-year-old. I know how to handle that. "Do you really think I told him anything he didn't already know?"
"You guys need to learn from this. If you don't want anyone to know something, don't do it. If you can't be good, be careful. Now let's go have some fun."
The boys left and I went and found Mark.
"How did it go?" he asked.
"Not bad. I explained things to them. Dad was cool and calm, and Sam laid down the law."
Mark laughed. "What's so funny?" I asked.
"Three men who all fooled around as kids talking to three kids who just got caught fooling around. I think it's kind of ironic."
"I was thinking the same thing. So I guess you're not pissed."
"I was at first but I guess I expected it. I'm glad it was the twins and not Ken we caught them with."
Just then Jeff came walking up.
"I'm sorry, Mark."
"It's okay, Kiddo. But I thought you have a crush on Ken?"
"I do. We were just playing around. Ken is the one I really like."
"How are the twins?" I asked.
"They're okay. Your dad and Sam were really cool. My mom and dad would have grounded me for life. Your dad and Sam basically told me not to get caught again."
"I still don't approve of you fooling around, Jeff. Why don't you wait until you find someone you really like and get a little older? Don't be in such a rush to grow up."
"I think I have had enough excitement to last me for a long time. I was so embarrassed."
"Now you know how we felt when you said something about us to Ken yesterday. Well, let's go have some fun."
We went skiing until we were frozen stiff. Then we came back in. Mark wanted to work out so I went with him. Then we had dinner. After dinner Mark and I went back to our room and gave each other a good massage. We ended up making love. The last time in the century if you believe the guys with the slide rules. What is a slide rule, anyway? I always hear my dad use that one.
We went down to the lounge about 10:00 o'clock. Everyone was there but Sally. Mom said the she was in bed sound asleep. The folks were all drinking Champagne. We drank pop. We formed three groups - the old folks in one group, Mark, Ken, and me in another, and then the twins and Jeff in the last group. We talked about a bunch of different stuff, from the music playing in the background to who looked drunk.
Clare, the girl I met yesterday, came by and we talked. She told me her life story. Now I know she likes me. She is all right for a girl but I think she sees me differently than I see her.
Before long we were counting down to midnight.
Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Happy Holidays, everyone. That's it for the adventures of Mike and Mark until January 1, 2001.
