The nature of a truly desperate heart - Chapter 10
Tommy
When my parents arrived at the bar and saw the family, they were surprised, that was the all idea, they had no idea we were preparing this, they thought it was weird that I had invited my sister over, but shrugged it off. My dad was constantly looking at Matt, that was weird, so I decided to see if there was something I should know.
"Matt, why is my dad looking so much at you?"
"I don't know."
Matt was smiling, he knew, and he was plotting something with my dad. I had to know what was happening.
"Dad, what are you and Matt plotting?"
"What?"
"You're constantly looking at him, you two have something going on."
"No, not a single thing."
They were both smiling, dad actually winked at Matt, I was sure they were on to something.
"Mom, do you know what are dad and Matt planning?"
"I don't, and it's getting on my nerves not to know, your dad knows better than to have secrets from me."
Both my mom and I were blindsided, neither of us knew what to expect. Guests came talk to my mom, so nothing more was said. When we were done eating, my dad got up and called for everyone's attention.
"Thank you, everyone, for being here, celebrating with us this milestone that is our 30th anniversary. In this 30 years we had our ups and downs, more ups than downs, thank God. In this 30 years we were able to raise two wonderful children, our son, Thomas is a well respected lawyer, and Samantha, our baby girl, is finishing her degree in journalism, and should start to work soon enough. Samantha is actually engaged, so maybe soon we'll have other things to celebrate. In other news, Margaret and I are now both retired, and as such, we have decided to move here. We'll be selling the house, and moving to the apartment upstairs in this building to enjoy our retirement. Margaret, do you want to add something?"
I looked at my sister, she was not happy, I could tell she didn't knew about the retirement and sale of the house. And I'm sure she wasn't happy that the parents decided to come live near us. I looked at mom, she had tears in her eyes.
"Jack, I can't follow that. You said everything, I make your words mine, thank you all for coming."
My dad looked back at Matt, and again winked, I was sure they were plotting something, but I had to wait to know what, because my sister came to me.
"Did you know about this?"
"We talked about it yesterday, and Matt did offer the apartment upstairs rent free, but I didn't knew they had decided to accept."
"This is all your idea, I know it, they would never think about selling the house. I want that house, and you won't get in my way, you fag."
My mom, bless her heart, decided to intervene.
"Samantha, your brother had no idea what we were going to do, he's caught by surprise, just like you. And for your information, our present testament leaves the house to Thomas, and the cabin in the lake to you. If you want the house, you can bid on it once it's for sale, but do not ask me nor your father for help in buying the house."
"Mother, you can't do this, when I have children who'll take care of them? They will want to be with their grandparents."
"You take care of your children, the same way I took care of you two. I'm not a nanny at your service, Samantha. and your father and I will love to visit and be visited by you and your future kids, but we don't want to be alone in that big house. And we love the apartment, so it's a win-win for us."
I was starting to get nervous and angry about her attitude, I was about to answer when Matt hugged me, he and my dad were by our side, I didn't even saw them arrive. My dad couldn't stay quiet after listening to what was being said.
"Samantha, what is that attitude, I know we didn't raise you like this, you're making a fool of yourself."
"Daddy, you know how much I love the house, you can't just sell it to anyone. I was hoping to get the house for myself."
"Samantha, when we bought the house, we were thinking about raising a family, we already did that. Now that the two of you have your own lives, you can't expect us to stay in that big house, waiting for death, so you can have it. As your mother said, our will says that the house belongs to Thomas, you might not like it, but that was how we decided things, now that we are selling the house, maybe things will be different."
"But, daddy."
"That is enough, Samantha. I will repeat one last time what I said yesterday, you are a guest in this building, and you will behave as such, if you don't, I will highly recommend that Matt asks you to leave his property."
She pouted and went back to her fiance, who was seating in a corner, not talking to anyone.
"Ok, everyone, I would like to say a few more words. Matt, please join me. For those who haven't had the opportunity to meet Matthew, he is the owner of this building, which includes this bar and the two apartments upstairs. Yesterday, Matt asked to talk to me privately, and I obliged. When alone, Matt, being a true gentleman asked me something, and I said yes. What he asked me will be said by himself. Matt, the stage is yours."
"Yesterday, or should I say, early this morning, while privately, I asked Mr. Campbell the permission to ask a question, that permission was granted in joy, and I wish, respect. Thomas, can you please step forward?"
I still had no idea what was happening, I looked at everyone, my mom was looking at Matt and me with her mouth open, my sister looked even more angry, and her fiance was frowning, the rest of the guests were just curious, looking at everyone. Matt kneeled, and I finally understood what was happening.
"Thomas Campbell, will you do the honor of marrying me?"
Matt
I knew everyone was looking at us, but in that moment I didn't see anyone but Tommy, he had tears in his eyes, I could see it was happiness tears, he was surprised, but had a smile on his face, a smile that said everything to me. I was still kneeling, waiting for his answer to my question. After what seemed like hours he finally talked.
"Yes, yes, a million times, yes."
I got up, I was beyond happy, I kissed Tommy with all the strength I could, we were lost in the kiss when I heard Samantha's voice.
"Fucking discussing fags."
I looked at Tommy, he still had tears in his eyes, but now, they were tears of sadness. I had enough, she could say what she wanted about me, my bar, my apartments, but when it came to her brother, she had no right to trash him. She had no right to spoil our moment. I walked to her.
"I have had enough, in the last 24 hours you didn't say one nice word. I put on with it for respect for your parents, and love for your brother, but I have had enough. You are no longer welcomed in my building, you have 10 minutes to pack your stuff and leave. If you don't I will call the police and charge you with trespassing."
"Mom and Dad, are you going to allow him to talk to me like this?"
"Samantha, your mother and I happen to agree with Matt, in fact, in his place we wouldn't even allow you the spend the night. So I suggest you do as you were asked. I will go with you upstairs, to make sure you don't leave anything behind."
They left, but I could see that Samantha was not happy, her fiance just rolled with it, he didn't had a strong personality, he's one of those guys that just does what is told without making waves. You could mop toilets with him, and he would let it happen, it was sad, actually. Tommy was still upset, so I grabbed him and took him to the kitchen and kissed him tenderly.
"I'm sorry I had to do that, but she was asking for it."
"You did good, I shouldn't let my sister get to me like this. I knew she didn't liked me, but I never thought she would do this."
"I love you, Tommy. You made me the happiest man on heart."
"I love you too, Matt. You're the best husband a man can have, we need to start planning the wedding."
I had to laugh at that, only Tommy could go from a serious talk to wedding planning.
"Yes, my love, we do need to start planning. We'll talk to your parents and see what dates they are available, since we won't have that many guests we can do it here in the bar, we'll hire someone to do the catering, I'd like to have Mrs. Thompson and the girls as guests."
"I like the idea, the last couple of months we became friends. And I love the bar for the reception, that way your dad can be with us."
"Thanks for saying that, it was exactly why I wanted to do it here, I know he's watching me, but I always feel his presence when I'm here."
"Matt, why did you asked my dad for permission to ask me to marry you?"
"I did more than that, I asked for your hand in marriage. I did it because I knew he would like it, and because I thought it was right. I'm marrying you, but I can't forget I'm marrying into the family, and I needed your dad's approval to let me in on the family."
"You know, he hates the fact that Daniel didn't do that. He doesn't say it, but I know he does."
"He commented on that, when I talked to him, he didn't say he didn't like it, but it's not hard to see."
When we got back to the bar, Mr. Campbell was already there, he was quietly talking to his wife, so we didn't interrupt, the guests were slowly leaving. Joe and Tessa approached us and asked if we could take care of Mitch for the weekend, in a few weeks, since they needed to make a trip with Joe's parents to see some family. Tessa's parents had already died, so there was no one to take care of the baby, but his godfather.
We of course said yes, it wasn't that much to ask, so we didn't mind, plus, Tommy obviously loved his godson, and I loved him too, he was a cute and very intelligent child, even being only 2, almost 3 years old.
After the cleanup we went home, it was now our home, I smiled at that though, our home.
"Why are you smiling, Matt."
"We're going home."
"So? We always do after the cleanup."
"Yes, but as of today it's our home."
"That sounds amazing, our home."
We went home, took our shower together and went to our bed, we still had to bring the rest of Tommy's clothes down, but for today we just wanted to celebrate our home, our bed and our engagement. And celebrate we did, as soon as we were in bed and started kissing our bodies started to respond, I spread lube on my cock and with my fingers I started to massage Tommy's hole, I entered him slowly, while looking in his eyes, never breaking eye contact I increased my pace, slowing down only when I felt we were both too close, we both wanted this to last. After a few minutes we couldn't delay our pleasure anymore, we camed at the same time and, again, we only had enough strength to kiss. We fell asleep without cleaning up our bodies, we took care of that in the morning, while taking another shower together. Since it was Monday, Tommy went to work, and I stayed home, I didn't had to start my day till later, but I got busy searching for wedding ideas and saving what I liked to show Tommy later. After that I went shopping with Mr. Campbell and showed him how I work everything in the bar.
