Chapter Five
I had no sightings of Billy all week until Friday after school, he came by the office to say hello. I asked where he'd been, and he said he had been busy with Shawn.
"I'll bet you have" I said with an involuntary smirk.
"Dirty old man" he replied, his face turning pink.
"Where is Shawn anyway? I thought you two were almost married?" I asked.
"His grandma is making him go visit some of their kinfolks over in Huntsville" he said, "They'll be back tomorrow afternoon."
"Oh, I see, your boy toy is gone so you're down to slumming with the senior citizens again" I said.
"Win, you still have four or five years before you're a senior citizen" he kidded.
Next in line, was Gentry. He just got off and was coming by to check on me too. He walked in grinning.
"Oh Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo" he said in his best falsetto. Billy rolled his eyes.
"But seriously, how's your love life champ?" Gentry asked him.
"Not bad" Billy said.
"Now, Gentry, you know a gentleman doesn't kiss and tell" I told him.
"We done more than kiss" Billy said softly, then turned red and ducked his head.
"Ooooohhhh!" me and Gen both said at the same time. I don't know what come over me, but I got serious all of a sudden.
"Look, kiddo, just don't let him talk you into anything you're not ready for" I told him.
"Shoot! More like me tryin' to talk him into stuff" he said.
"Well, you shouldn't force yourself on him either" I said.
"No forcin' anything on anybody, I just want to try some stuff before his momma comes and takes him home" he said. I made a mental note to be nosy and ask Edna how long he was staying with her.
"Just what kind of `stuff' are you thinking you should be trying at 14 years old?" Gentry asked him.
"I want to try out some...uh...you know..." he said.
"Butt stuff?" Gentry asked. Billy just nodded.
"You'll need something for lube" I told him, "Go buy a thing of that Vaseline lip stuff. Nobody'll think anything of it and it works good."
"I got a better idea" Gentry said. He got up and went out to his truck and came back in with a tube of KY and handed it to Billy.
"Thanks!" he said, opening the tube and feeling how slick the stuff was.
"Are you thinking more about you being the pitcher or the catcher?" Gentry asked.
"I want him to try and do me" he said to his shoes, but we could see the nervous smile on his face.
"Make sure he loosens you up first or it'll hurt a lot" I told him. "Don't do it anywhere you can get caught either" Gentry added. We could see the gears spinning in his head.
"Well y'all, I better get on home" he said. He stuffed the little tube of lube down the front of his pants and took off down the road.
"Why, I just can't believe you, contributing to the delinquency of a minor like that" I kidded Gentry.
"Oh, can it, Dear Abby" he said. Soon after, Gentry decided to head on to the house and I spent the last hour alone until time to go home.
I pulled up to the trailer and went in to find Gentry and Billy in the living room. Apparently, Billy was asking my boyfriend how you loosen somebody up. He was a man with a mission indeed. Gen was showing him with a closed fist and fingers from the other hand the way to stretch somebody open. It was a fascinatingly erotic scene; I sat down and took it all in. I watched as Gentry stuck first one finger into the tightly closed fist of his left hand and wiggle it around. Then after a few minutes he added a second finger and twisted them until the `hole' relaxed a little.
"Personal question: how thick is Shawn's pecker?" Gentry asked him. Billy showed him with a couple of fingers spread about an inch or so. "Okay, then two fingers will be okay but remember to tell him to pull them apart as far as he can to stretch you out before he puts it in. When he gets in past the head, tell him to stop and give yourself time to adjust before letting him get after it."
"So, once he does all this stuff, he can do me?" he asked.
"Yep" Gentry told him.
"Will it hurt me?" Billy asked.
"Show me again how thick and how long" Gentry told him, and Billy demonstrated how thick Shawn's piece was, then held his hands about 5 inches apart to show the length. Gentry told him, "You should be fine."
"Can I ask you guys for one more favor?" Billy asked.
"Sure" Gentry said.
"Well, I wouldn't want momma to walk in on us like y'all said, so could we borrow your spare bedroom tomorrow?" he asked. Gentry looked at me and though I was a little hesitant, I decided to let Billy give it a try. I nodded yes, and Gentry said, "Looks like you got yourself a place to party."
Friday night I closed up the shop and headed home. When I walked in Gentry was sitting on the couch looking amused. He put his finger to his lips and pointed at his ear. I quietly sat down beside him and listened. I could hear the headboard of the bed in the spare bedroom slapping the wall and little squeaks ever so often like some kind of small animal noise. Apparently, Billy and Shawn had figured things out. We went into the kitchen and started dinner. The activities had Gentry kind of turned on, I was stirring a pot on the stove, and he was grinding the lump in his pants into my ass. I made a quick batch of cheeseburger flavored Hamburger Helper and about the time it was done, two boys came out in nothing but tighty-whiteys into the kitchen.
"Told you I smelled food" Billy said to Shawn.
I know I shouldn't have but I checked out the front of Shawn's Hanes briefs, pretty respectable little bulge there. It looked to be still a little puffed up from what it had just been into. Without asking, I went ahead and pulled four plates out of the cabinet and set the table.
"If you're going to eat with us, go put some shorts on or something" I said. They looked like they just realized they were nearly naked and scampered back into the bedroom to get dressed. When they came out, they both had on shorts and tee shirts. Me and Gen got our serving and the rest of the pan seemed to disappear into thin air with most of a two-liter Coke. Shawn poorly whispered to Billy that it was his turn then they politely excused themselves and retreated to the bedroom again. Since me and Gentry were still hungry, I heated us up a can of chili. After that, we sat down to watch a little TV, but it was a lost cause between the loud `ow, ow, take it out, wait a minute' and the eventual slapping of the headboard on the wall again. My dick had gone hard as a rock and Gentry was in much the same shape. I leaned over and unzipped his jeans and pulled everything out so I could get at it and swallowed most of his cock on the first downstroke and buried my nose into his pubis. He fumbled around and got my pants open and started stroking my petrified dick. The tap-tap-tapping kept going in the spare bedroom and I kind of fell in time with it on Gen's dick. Shawn made a moaning sound, and I thought Gentry was going to choke me to death as he pushed my head down onto him. The tapping was getting faster now, accompanied by little sharp grunts. Gentry pulled down hard on my foreskin and I messed up the front of my shirt. He pushed my head down again and I could feel him throbbing as his cum was shooting directly into my stomach. The noised had stopped in the other room, so we straightened ourselves up and I took off my cummy work shirt, wadded it up, sat it in the floor and just sat on the couch in my wife-beater undershirt. The two came out a few minutes later, Shawn was walking a little funny.
"We're going to ride down to Burger King and get a milkshake" Billy said.
"Okay, y'all be careful" I told him, "Hey, are y'all coming back here?"
"I think so, for a little bit anyway" he said, looking at Shawn who looked like he was all in for it.
We watched through the window as the boys took off, neither making much contact with the bicycle seats.
"This is going to be a long night" Gentry said.
"I don't know if we can keep up" I told him, we both laughed. An hour later they were back.
"I told momma I was spending the night with Shawn" Billy said. Shawn laughed.
"I told my grandma I was spending the night with Billy" he said. I guess they thought they were the first ones to ever come up with that scheme.
The boys sat and watched TV with us for a little bit. I could tell Shawn was getting antsy again, and after a few more minutes he got up and Billy looked at me and kind of shrugged and they went back into the bedroom. We tried to watch TV a little longer, but when the noised started up and we were both hard again I cut it off and pulled Gentry into our bedroom at the other end of the trailer. We went in and threw the dirty clothes into the laundry basket and Gentry told me to fuck him as hard as Billy fucked Shawn. I got him ready and proceeded to pound the shit out of him for about 20 minutes until I finally had all I could take and exploded deep in his guts. He'd gotten close but hadn't cum yet, so I swiveled around and took him in my mouth to harvest the second load of the night. After that, we just fell asleep, naked under the sheet.
We woke up when Billy stuck his head in the door and said they were leaving. I asked him what time it was, he said it's almost 8:30. Damn, we slept good last night. I chuckled to myself.
"What's so funny?" Gentry asked me.
"I hope they took a shower" I said, "Otherwise Edna and Linda are sure going to know what that smell is."
"Linda might, Edna's probably too old to remember" Gentry said with a laugh.
We got up and got into the shower and got dressed. We were going over to start painting inside the house today. The guys would be there Tuesday to put in the hardwoods in the living room, so we at least needed to get the paint done in there. We worked on that room and decided we didn't want to spend all day inside; it was a pretty day outside today. We decided to go Akins in Dogtown to look for some furniture and then on up to Fort Payne to handle a few other things we needed to do. We got an eye-opener on how expensive good furniture was real quick at Dogtown. We got back in the truck and headed on up to town. Gentry took me to a place he'd heard about called Bargain Depot. They had good prices, but you really had to look stuff over close to make sure you weren't getting junk. We did manage to find two leather recliners, and just managed to get them to fit in the truck. It was clouding up a little, so we threw a tarp over them and tied it down while we paid a couple of bills. On the way home we stopped at Sally's and got a couple of pulled pork plates and some sweet tea. We dropped the two recliners at the house and then headed on down to the trailer park. It was too quiet in the trailer with our house guests gone so we ended up going back over to the house and painting some more. We didn't leave until around 8:30.
Pulling back up to the trailer, the first thing we noticed was the two teenagers sitting on the front porch in the dark. Seems they managed to talk the adults into letting them spend the night off again. Me and Gentry went in the back, and he walked through and let them in the front so Linda wouldn't see them.
"Have you guys eat anything today?" I asked.
"Only breakfast at Miss Edna's" Billy answered.
"I'll fix y'all a hamburger then" I said. I pulled the frozen patties and a back of crinkle cuts out of the freezer side of the refrigerator and got everything started. Remembering how teenage boys eat, I fixed them the half-pound size I had originally made up for grilling. Between those and half a bag of fries, they should get full. I set the pot on the stove to make sweet tea too. I got it all ready and put it on the table with a variety of condiments and called them to eat.
"Thanks Uncle Win!" the two smartasses said in unison, but I have to admit I kinda liked the sound of that. After the food was devoured, Gentry was grilling the two in the living room.
"Do y'all know about cleaning out?" he asked. They shrugged.
"You have to clean yourself out or you'll be pulling out fudge when you do what y'all like doing" he explained. He went into detail on how to do it and then told them there was stuff to use in the guest bathroom. The chit-chatted with us a few minutes then silently got up and went down the hallway, I supposed to figure out the water bottle situation. I gave Gentry a look.
"Better than shit stains on the bed" he said. Yeah, I'll give you that one I thought. I could hear water running and the sound of clothes hitting the floor. Apparently, Billy was up again. The door opened and I was given a great view of Shawn with a hard-on poking his pants out followed by Billy with just a tee-shirt on. They went in the bedroom real quick and the were at it again. We decided to give them a little privacy this time and turned out the lights and went to our room.
Sunday, the dynamic due stayed in the spare bedroom until lunch. When they came out they were a mixture of exhausted and sad. This afternoon Shawn's mother was coming to pick him up. Nobody knew if he was gone for good, or if he might end up back with his grandma. He said he was going to try to talk his mother into letting him stay with his Miss Edna, but we wondered both whether the mother would be willing to be separated from her son, and also whether Miss Edna was up to raising a boy long term. I told him if it was meant to be, it would be, and Gentry started up that irritating Florida Georgia Line song on his phone. Before they left to go over to Miss Edna's, we made them take a shower. They smelled like a combination of sweat, cum and just general horny teenager odor. I threw Shawn's bike in the back of the truck and gave them a ride over to his grandma's. It was sad watching them say goodbye and seeing Shawn get in the old Corolla and start up the highway. Billy ran back and got in the truck, and I waved at Miss Edna as we pulled off. As soon as we hit the highway, Billy was sobbing.
"I'll never see him again" he cried.
"You don't know that" I told him.
"It's just not fair. I found somebody and now he's gone" Billy said.
"Well, kiddo, just so you know, life is seldom fair. Most of the time, if it can go wrong, it will" I told him, "But like I told you, if y'all were really meant to be together you will be. Don't be in such a hurry anyway, you got your whole life ahead of you. There's probably a lot more boys out there who'd like to tap that ass."
He looked shocked for a minute, then he couldn't help but giggle. "I bet y'all heard a lot in there didn't you?"
"The walls in the trailer are pretty thin" I said, then imitated his little animal yelp sounds.
"Oh my God" he said, turning red as fire. Now it was my turn to laugh.
He got out of the truck and went into Linda and Jeremy's trailer, and I went back in to find Gentry cleaning the guest bedroom and bathroom.
"The sheer amount of cum everywhere is overwhelming" he said. The sheets were kind of stiff in places, but no shit stains, so we considered it a win.
"I'll put all this in the washer, and you can boil the clean out nozzle" I said. He looked thrilled.
It was the first quiet night in a long time, and we took advantage of the situation to get some needed sleep.
Up early again. Sitting on the porch, drinking coffee. Gentry's still in bed. Here comes Billy.
"Mornin' Win" he says.
"Mornin' stud" I say.
"Didn't sleep hardly, I miss Shawn" he said looking very sad again.
"I'm sorry. Has he called or texted yet?" I asked. He shook his head no.
"C'mere" I said. He pulled his chair over next to mine and I put my arm around him.
The door opened behind us, and Gentry came out with a steaming mug of coffee. He saw how Billy looked so he didn't make any jokes.
"You want to come help us at the house this weekend?" Gentry asked Billy.
"I don't know, what could I do? I don't really know how to do anything" Billy said.
"You wanna learn how to lay tile? I got a kitchen and two bathrooms than need tiling" Gentry told him.
"Sure. I guess. It's not like I'm getting bowed up this weekend" Billy said. I rubbed his head.
For me anyway, the week seems to fly by. Friday night comes and me and Gentry go into town and have a steak dinner. When we get back in, he runs water in the garden tub, and we take a soaking bath together. He washes me and I wash him, then we lazily play with each other for a while. We get out and dry off and lay on the bed and kiss. I kind of gently run my hand across the fur that runs from his chest all the way down to where it runs into his pubes. I see goosebumps in the wake of my fingers and few gentle pulses make the tube between his legs bounce a little bit. I make my way down to gently nibble on his right nipple as I stick my index finger into his furry navel. Seconds later, I start moving downward as his cock is moving upward. My mouth and his dick meet in the middle, and I take the head in my mouth and swirl my tongue around it harvesting a tiny drop of precum. I take more of him and settle in to give him a royal blowjob, but he seems to have other ideas. He pulls me off, then bends his legs up toward his chest, opening up his ass to me. I reposition myself and attack his wrinkled love spot. I give it a few licks, then start trying to work my tongue in; I can still taste the soap from our bath. I lick and suck on him until I can fell his hole relaxing; I can get half my tongue in him now. He hands me some new kind of lube he's picked up somewhere and I slick him up and put three fingers in him. To my surprise, he feels like he's ready, so I get up on my knees and get into position. I dribble a little of the lube on myself, line up and start easing into him. He lets out a long sigh and kinda pushes toward me like he's trying to get more into him. I oblige by pushing my cock into him until his loose balls are laying on it like some kind of scarf or something. Still sunk fully into him, I start to stroke his dick and slowly his sack pulls up closer to his body. He's getting impatient.
"Fuck me hard, Win!" he growls. I'm a good boy and I obey his order.
I set up my rhythm and pound him until we get that headboard slapping beat going. I started holding his legs and pushing them toward his head as I plowed his ass. I look down and see his balls are pulled up tight against the base of his dick now and he's jacking himself like crazy. I try to catch up with him and start a jack-rabbit thrusting. I want to try to make us cum together. I manage to grunt out the words `cum together' and he slows down just a little. I'm so close now, it can't be very much longer. We lock eyes and when I'm almost to the point of no return he sees the look on my face and speeds back up. I feel his hole clamp down on me right at the time I start to flood his ass. Gentry is saying `Oh God, oh God' and I'm panting like I've climbed a mountain. I let his legs down and we kiss again. My softening member slides out and I roll sideways to lay beside him; our kiss doesn't break. We're both so sweaty, we get up after a few minutes and go take a shower to rinse of sweat and cum. Back in the bed, we settle in for the night. I look at him and I'm overcome with a feeling of love.
"I fucking love you, Gen" I whisper.
"I fucking love you too, Winslow" he says with that shit-eating grin.
One last kiss and we drift off to sleep.
I overslept, for me anyway, and got up at 5:45. I pulled on a pair of shorts and stumbled into the kitchen and flicked on the little strip light under the cabinet over the coffee pot and made my coffee, then went out on the porch to sit in the quiet of the morning. Billy emerges from the trailer next door and comes over to sit with me, carrying a cup of his own.
"So, you've taken up coffee now?" I ask him.
"It's pretty good with milk and honey" he says.
We sit quietly for a few minutes.
"Y'all were pretty loud last night" he says grinning.
"Oh yeah?" I say -- damn thin trailer walls.
"Oh God oh God" he says laughing.
"Did anybody else hear?" I asked.
"No, just me and Danny. I told Danny y'all were praying. He kept asking why y'all were hitting the wall though" he said, obviously enjoying my embarrassment.
"I'm just kiddin' you. When I heard what was going on I got him to come inside and play a video game" he said.
"Well, thanks for that" I said.
"It was sounded pretty hot for old people" he landed one last jab. Gentry finally came out to join us.
"Speaking of old people..." I said. Billy laughed.
"Good morning, geezer" I said to Gentry.
"Morning yourself, codger" he said, "You too, whipper-snapper."
"Mornin' Gentry" Billy said.
"Soon as we get done with the coffee, we need to get going to the house" Gentry said. Then to Billy he said, "Wear old clothes that your momma don't care if you mess up, in case you get tile cement on them."
Billy took his cup and went in, then came back out in some basketball-type shorts that were a little small and at one time had probably been gray. They looked like they had been bleached a few times. The tee-shirt didn't look any better, white was only a memory for it. Me and Gentry got ready, and we all took off for the house.
"Momma's been wanting me to throw these shorts away. They kinda got messed up when she tried to bleach `em. I used to wear `em without any underwear and they got pee stains on the front" Billy said. He was sitting between us in the cab of the truck. I looked over and from the look of it he didn't have any underwear on with them now either; there was a clear outline being made by his little peter and nuts. I felt that stirring in my groin again, so I looked back at the road. Billy was watching where we were going carefully.
"It'll take me an hour to get out here on my bike" he said.
"Maybe, if you don't get run over by a car on the way" I told him.
I got out and unlocked the gate for Gentry, then we continued on to the house.
"This is as big as our old house before daddy lost his job" Billy said, "Why do you need a big house for just you two?"
"I just like a real house with room for company" Gentry replied.
"Like horny teenagers?" Billy asked. Gen gave him a thumbs up.
We got inside and Gentry started collecting everything we would need to do the tiling; I got Billy to help me bring boxes of tile and the wet saw over to the kitchen doorway. Gentry got a starter batch of tile cement mixed up and he called Billy over to watch what he was doing as he mudded and laid the tile and put the spacers in. After about half a row, he told Billy to try it. With a few corrections, Billy got the hand of it and doing a pretty good job. We kept handing him the tiles and he kept going. When we got to a wall, we measured the space and I cut the tiles to fit. Baseboards would cover up any minor flaws, thank goodness. With all of us working together, we finished the kitchen up in about 3 hours. I went out to get some air. I sat on the top porch step and laid back to listen to the birds. I heard the door open, and Gentry pushed an ice-cold beer into my hand. He and Billy sat on the makeshift bench we had on the porch until we could get something better. From where I was laying, I had a view straight up the loose leg of Billy's worn shorts. I could clearly see the trio bumps of his two balls and the head of his peter. Next to him, I could see up the leg of Gentry's shorts too, but only seeing the leg of his boxer briefs. I sat up to take a drink and shake the vision out of my head. It was a beautiful day; temperature was a little warm but not too bad. I drank about half my beer; I don't like it too much after it starts getting warm.
Gentry asked Billy to get the level that was on the floor at the end of the porch. I looked at Gentry and could see that he was watching Billy's ass as he bent over to pick the item up. I made a throat-clearing noise, and he snapped out of it.
"I'm about ready to break that boy in" he whispered to me, "He's fucking with us, wearing those shorts and nothing under them."
"What?" Billy asked.
"Nothing" Gentry said, "I was talking to Win."
"Jailbait" I said kind of to the woods.
"What are y'all talking about?" Billy asked.
"Well, kiddo, you're dressed kind of `provocatively' for a 14-year-old" I told him.
"15-year-old. The other night when me and Shawn spent the night over at your place, that was my 15th birthday" Billy said.
"Damn. I can't believe it's been a year since y'all moved in. But you're still jailbait either way" Gentry said, agreeing with my earlier statement.
"What does `procavactive' mean anyway?" Billy asked.
"Provocative: It means you're dressed like you want to get fucked hard. You're provoking somebody" I said.
"Oh, yeah, well...I wish I could do that. That's true. Are y'all being provoked?" he asked.
Gentry gave me an amused look, then said "Y'all come with me."
We got up and followed him through the woods down a long path that ended at a stream. We turned and followed the water upstream until we came to a natural wide spot in the stream, kind of a small swimming hole. Gentry pulled at his tee-shirt and wiped his face.
"I don't know about you gentlemen, but I'm hotter'n fuck so I'm going to cool off" he said as he pulled off the shirt, followed by kicking off his shoes and dropping his shorts and underwear in one motion. Me and Billy looked at each other a very few seconds before we followed him. In another minute we were all in the cold water splashing around. Gentry was standing in water just deep enough to come to the bottom of his ball sack which was shrunken due to the water temperature. Billy went straight over and grabbed hold of Gentry's peter, causing him to suck in a big breath.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa" he told Billy, "You can't just go grabbing a man's piece like that, son."
I laughed, "That's what I told him."
Billy ignored Gentry's protestations and pulled the head of Gentry's rapidly inflating dick into his mouth. I walked over and kissed Gentry while Billy was doing his thing.
"Damn boy! That little bit of practice you've had shouldn't have made you this good" Gentry told him.
Billy came off the dick long enough to say, "I guess I'm just a natural."
"You know you can't say anything to anybody about this, right?" Gentry said between moans.
"Why would I spoil a good thing?" Billy replied, then kind of looked at me and said, "Wish I had something in the other end..."
"I'd like to help you out but I'd feel like a molester" I said.
"You can't molest somebody who's willing" he told me.
I thought about it, started to tell him no, then my eyes got stuck on his ass and I felt my feet carrying me around behind him. I stuck my rigid member between his cheeks and put the head on his hole and let him decide if he could handle it. He put his hands on Gen's hips and pushed back toward me, making me start to go inside him. I grabbed his hips and pulled him back onto me and Gentry had to take a step forward to keep his cock in Billy's mouth. We pounded him from both ends until I shot a huge load in his ass and a minute later Gentry tilted his head back and groaned as he unloaded in Billy's mouth. As payback, we both pulled him back to the grass and sucked him from each side until his thin load started bubbling out; we licked up every drop. A quick rinse in the water again, then we got out and went to the house carrying our clothes in our hands. Billy looked more satisfied than I'd seen him since Shawn went back to Ringgold.
We sat on the porch and breeze dried for a while before getting at least part of our clothes back on and going back in to start on one of the bathrooms. While we were working, I told Billy that this couldn't be an all the time thing, he still needed to find himself another fuck buddy if Shawn didn't get to come back.
"I know. But you guys are so good to me, and I love y'all like I love my momma and daddy" he said.
"You get spit-roasted by your momma and daddy?" Gentry asked him.
"Ten thousand comedians out of a job and here you are" Billy said sarcastically, "You know what I mean."
"Yeah. We do. But just remember that if anybody found out me and Win could both go to jail" Gentry said.
"I would tell them I wanted it" Billy said.
"Don't matter" I told him, "The law says you are too young to consent."
"That's fucking stupid!" he said. I just shrugged.
We finished up the floor in one bathroom and by that time it was dinner time, so we wrapped it up for the day, put all our clothes on, and headed back to Shady Acres. Billy jumped out and told us thanks for everything and went inside. I just hoped Linda and Jeremy didn't see the wet spot on the back of his shorts. I really wasn't up to cooking so I threw a frozen pizza in the oven, grabbed a beer, and went to sit with Gentry in the living room.
"It'll be all right. He obviously knows what he wants" Gentry said. I sure hoped so.
In the morning, I was up at 5:30. You could set a clock by me. I made my coffee and went out on the porch. Also right on time, here came Billy. He sat in the chair next to mine sipping his own mixture that was more milk and honey than coffee.
"You didn't tell me I leaked in my shorts" he whispered.
"You were gone too fast" I told him. "Did anybody see?"
"Danny saw it, but I told him I spilled a coke in the truck" he said.
"Good save" I told him.
"Daddy will probably be coming over to talk to y'all" he said. My stomach flipped.
"Why is that?" I asked nervously.
"He said he wanted to thank y'all for teaching me things that will help me in life" he said, then laughed, "If he only knew" he added in a whisper.
"I'm gettin' out of school early Friday, daddy's taking me to get my learner's permit" he said. We bumped fists on that note.
We finished up our coffee and I went back in to take a shower and get ready for work. I told Gentry what had transpired, and he got a kick out of it. I got dressed and Gentry walked me out to the truck. Jeff, Billy's dad, came out as predicted and told us he was glad we were teaching Billy a trade. He figured there were a lot of construction jobs Billy might be able to get. We told him we were happy to teach him and to be honest, we needed the help. Jeff and Gentry went back inside, and I got in the truck and took off for work.
First car to drive up for the workday was Miss Edna. She got out carrying breakfast. I was glad to see her today for several reasons, one of the biggest reasons was that I was hungry. She sat and talked with me while I ate and one of the subjects was Shawn. She told me she didn't think it was going to work out with Shawn and his mother and he might end up back with her. She didn't know if she was up to raising a teenager at her age. I told her me and Gentry would help her in any way we could if he did come back, and me saying that seemed to make her feel better. I finished up the breakfast, thanked her very much, and handed her the plate back. Guess I'd wait and see what happened before telling Billy.
Lambodara 3/24/23
The plot thickens.
