Tip and Ty Chapter 11 -- New Beginnings By E Walk (Copyrighted by the author) Edited by Radio Rancher

Zack here.

After Grandpa and Grandma Leavitt went to their room, it was Uncle David, Uncle Boris, Luke, John, Mark and me. Luke and John went to get six more beers.

After they distributed the beers, Luke and John didn't try to hide their intimacies. I couldn't say anything but Mark sure did, "Guys, Uncle David and Uncle Boris are watching you fondle each other."

John sat up, "So what's wrong with that? Whenever Luke and I want to get together when we are at school, we go to their house in Lincoln. Why do you think we both go to UNL?"

Uncle David looked at Mark, "Mark, back off. Your two brothers are just over sexed. It's better that that they get rid of their pent up emotions together, than with complete strangers. Zack, I'm sorry you had to be part of this discussion."

"Why sir? You just told me that it would be permissible for me to slam Mark to the floor and take advantage of him." I stood and pulled Mark up, "Mark and I are going to our bedroom and the rest of you will never know what we do or don't do. Quite frankly, it's none of anyone else's business." I started to the stairway with Mark following me. Everyone was totally silent.

When we got to our bedroom, Mark looked at me, "Zack, would you really slam me to the floor and take advantage of me?"

I started to laugh, "Mark, I'm not going to slam you to the floor, but I might try to take advantage of you; but not while we are in your grandparents' house. Why don't you take a shower and don't bother to put on any clothes. I want us to prove that we can sleep nude without having sex. I know it is going to be difficult, but this is important to me?"

When Mark came out of the bathroom, I looked at him and licked my lips.

"Zack, stop that! Little Markie can't take too much more excitement tonight. I may have to slam you to the floor and take advantage of you."

I started to laugh and shed my clothes, "Just try Mister and you will be crawling down the stairs on you hands and knees in the morning."

I was in the shower and was visualizing Mark's penis and balls and before I knew what was happening, I covered the shower wall with an extra fluid. As I was drying my body, my mind was saying, "He is so beautiful, but he will never fall in love with a black boy."

I went into the bedroom and pulled out some briefs. Mark jumped out of bed and grabbed my penis. "Don't even think about covering up bosses' brother's toy. I'll try my best to behave myself. Zack, your little toy looks a little tired. Did it have hallucinations in the shower?"

I started to laugh and Mark pulled me onto the bed. "Zack, if little Zack is going to always be so tired, I guess I will have to join my two brothers in their extracurricular activities."

I propped myself up on my elbows, "Mark, you wouldn't do that would you?"

Mark was chuckling, "No little Zacky, I made up my mind a long time ago that I was saving myself for the right person."

I sat upright and looked at Mark, "Mark, is there anyway I could be the right person even if there is a difference in the coloration of our skin?"

Mark pushed me down on the bed, "You silly man, all I see is a wonderful person. Just because your skin is a little darker than mine doesn't mean I couldn't love you."

We both were holding each other when there was a knock on the door. Mark went to answer. When he opened the door, Uncle David and Uncle Boris were standing there. Mark threw up his hands, "Please come in and enjoy the scenery."

The two Uncles came in and sat on the bed. Uncle David took the initiative, "Guys, I apologize for what happened tonight. We just think it is better that Luke and John keep it in the family. I apologize if you were offended."

Hey it's me, Mark. I think that I had better take over, because Zack might create some waves.

Zack sat up not even thinking about his state of dress. "Uncle David and Uncle Boris, I was not offended; but I am surprised that that John and Luke were so blatant, especially in their grandparents' living room. What they do in their bedroom is their own business. I don't care if they are brothers or what; that type of display is totally inappropriate. What they do in your house in Lincoln is under your control, and none of my business."

I was watching Uncle David and Uncle Boris. Uncle Boris asked, "So it doesn't bother you that Dave and I are seeing your and Mark's most private parts?"

"No sir, if you get your kicks from looking at two virgins, then go right ahead, and besides you are in our bedroom. We didn't put ourselves on public display."

I decided to say something, "Uncle David and Uncle Boris, the reason we are naked is that Zack challenged me to sleep naked with him to prove that sex isn't necessary to make a relationship."

Uncle David and Uncle Boris started to laugh and Uncle Boris spoke, "What made you two so smart? We totally agree with you. Guys, you need each other, but be gentle with each other. You both look like you could do some major damage otherwise. Gentleman, I must tell you that you are about the most refreshing thing that has happened lately. If and when you decide to commit to each other, please remain loyal. Dave and I will be there to celebrate your ceremony."

Uncle David hugged both of us, "It seems to me you need each other. I am positive that you two are going to go far even if Mark is a Nano and Zack is a graduate student."

Uncle David and Uncle Boris left, and I looked at Zack, "You wouldn't reconsider your decision that nothing sexual is going to happen?"

"Nope, not while we are in your grandparents' home. That might happen later, but I really would like for the first time to be special." Zack answered as he pulled me close. "Now give me a kiss and get Little Markie under control."

I snuggled closer so that we were face to face and our penises were touching. I think we both quickly decided that this position was not going to work. We pulled away and I asked, "I guess I can't snuggle against your backside either?"

"No way Jose, you would take advantage of me and my stomach would be against my larynx, and I wouldn't be able to sing tomorrow. On second thought, why don't you; and then you can explain to Beau why I can't sing?" Zack started to laugh.

"Zach, you are too much. I just want to hold you and feel your beautiful body." I leaned over and kissed Zack, and we both turned onto our stomachs. I could still reach out and touch his beautiful muscled back.

The next thing I remember was that I was being awakened by fingers running up and down my back and someone pinching my buttocks. Zach was laughing, "We'll have to make sure these mounds do not get a chance to get flabby."

Zack was standing there in all his glory, laughing at me, "Okay Mr. Leavitt, you and Little Markie need to get moving if you are going to church with me to watch me make a fool of myself. I'll be downstairs drinking milk and eating saltines."

I crawled out of bed and got ready for church. When I got to the kitchen, Zack was visiting with Uncle David and Uncle Boris. Uncle Boris asked, "Mark, would you like a cheese omelet?"

I looked at Zack, "Mr. Jackson, do I have time to eat an omelet?"

"Only if you inhale it. Of course you have time, Mr. Leavitt, we need to keep Little Markie nourished or he might disappear." Zack was smirking.

Uncle Boris started to laugh, "My, my, what kind of talk is that in front of your elders, Zack? I'm shocked. Remember, we saw Little Markie last night and he wasn't so little. Perhaps you over exercised him last night?"

Zack started to laugh, "Uncle Boris, Little Markie is shrinking from inactivity. I'm going to go finish getting ready for church. I will probably lose my breakfast since it feels like my stomach is doing cartwheels."

Zack left and Uncle David asked, "Mark, is Zack really that nervous?"

"Uncle David, I don't know, but he seems fine to me. If I were to guess, he is probably more concerned about the meeting with Beau after the first service. Thanks for breakfast; I'll go brush my teeth so I can accompany Zack."

So what's happening in Kansas City? Let's check in with Tip and make sure everything is going smoothly.

This is Tip.

Ty and I were sitting at the breakfast table drinking coffee and reading the Sunday Kansas City Star. I was reading the sports section and Ty was reading real estate section.

Out of the clear blue, Ty said, "Hey, listen to this. `For Sale by owner: six bedroom house with an attached garage that has two additional bedrooms and all facilities so that it can be used as a rental apartment or a guest area. Shown by appointment only.' I'll call the number this afternoon and make an appointment to go look at it."

We were interrupted by Bobby standing there in his briefs, "Daddy, are we going to Sunday school? May I have some breakfast, please?"

Ty shook his head no, "Not until you go put on some clothes. Gentlemen don't run around the house in their briefs, especially when there are ladies here?"

Bobby looked puzzled, "Who's here?"

"Bobby, your sisters are here."

"So?" Bobby challenged.

Ty pulled Bobby close, "Son, it may not be that important now; but as you get older, it will make a big difference. Bobby, I love you, and we need your help to make sure that Becky, Billy and Barbie turn out to be good people."

Ty hugged Bobby, "Come on my handsome son, let's go get dressed and wake the others while Uncle Tip fixes breakfast."

I fixed breakfast with tears in my eyes from thinking about how lucky Ty was to have four beautiful children. Oh sure, I had Zack; but who knows what his plans are for the future. Once he gets his Master's Degree, I'm sure he will be leaving. I really like Nano Mark, I wish he and Zack would get together. He seems like a very caring person.

The scene is switching back to Fremont. Mark is reporting.

Zack said that he was so nervous that he had me drive to the church. We met Jeff, and he and Zack started to practice. Jeff suddenly stopped, "Zack, you will be great. Mark, why don't you sit with him and hold his hand or whatever, to keep him from hyperventilating?"

Zack and I were sitting in the choir pews behind the organ so we could only see a few of the people who were at the service. Everything was going smoothly and when it was time for Zack to sing, he seemed to stiffen. I leaned over and whispered, "Zack, make me proud and prove that you are as good as or better than anyone else out there. I know you are, or otherwise I wouldn't be here with you."

He looked down at me; and I could almost feel his mind thinking, "You are so going to pay tonight." Zack went forward and sang `How Great Thou Art'. It was stone silent in the church. Zack returned to the pew and whispered, "Did you know that Uncle David and Uncle Boris were coming?"

I shook my head no. The worship service was about to end when the retired Bishop Lancaster came forward, "Members of the parish and visitors, you have been privileged to have such a talent as Mr. Zack Jackson here this morning. I would like to ask you all to rise as he sings The Lord's Prayer." I felt Zack go limp. I rubbed his thigh and nodded and he went to the front of the altar area. He took the microphone, "I would like for those in attendance to raise your hands and sing after me."

His voice was so clear and it was like the congregation was echoing his words. I must say, it was a very moving experience. I was surprised that Jeff could follow what Zack was doing. It was like little bolts of energy were being flashed between the two of them.

The service ended and Zack whispered, "Can we please just get your belongings and head back to Kansas City? I feel so out of place here. There were almost no blacks in the congregation."

I looked at Zack, "My friend, the people here could care less about the color of your skin. They just appreciate your God given talent to sing, so would you please relax?"

We were joined by Beau and Becca. Beau started, "Okay you intruders, let's go to breakfast. Jeff, you and your Dad are going to join us."

Jeff questioned, "Where are we going?"

"Why to I HOP of course." Beau answered, as if there was never any question.

When Zack and I arrived at the I HOP, it seemed like it was very busy for 9:45 on a Sunday morning. As we walked in, we were met by a young lady, "Would you gentlemen like a booth or table or are you part of the Benson party?"

I spoke up, "Mr. and Mrs. Benson are expecting us."

The hostess took us to what must have been a smoking area at one time because it was enclosed. I was surprised to see that Uncle David and Uncle Boris were already seated. Everyone else who was there I would have expected to be there. Of course Mrs. Tillison was there with Becca's Grandmother, Mrs. Gleason, Jeff and his Dad were seated next to Beau's adopted father, Josh and his partner, Uncle Ben.

We placed our orders and while we were waiting for our food, Beau stood, "The reason for this meeting is very simple. I don't understand this Zack person very well, and neither does Becca. However, we are extremely impressed with what we have seen and heard."

"Zack, we would like for you to be the vice president of our corporation in the Kansas City office when you finally get your degree. Becca and I would like to visit you in Kansas City and find an appropriate facility to set up an office in Kansas City after we get back from our honeymoon."

Zack looked confused, "Beau, do you always talk in such vague terms? What kind of business are we talking about?"

Becca stood and pushed Beau down, "Zack, we plan to set up a consulting business where we go in and help companies to be able to become more profitable. This is something that Beau started working on when he was thirteen. You have just the credentials we need. You will be our numbers person in charge of the accounting and contracting departments."

Zack wasn't finished, "So, you're saying that I am not just your token black person on the staff?"

Beau started to laugh, "Mr. Zack Taylor, you are going to be our only person on the staff until we get established."

Any further discussions were interrupted by the arrival of the food. Zack had a donut and a glass of milk as did I. Uncle David and Uncle Josh just had coffee and a Danish pastry. We were just about finished and Jeff announced, we need to get going if I'm going to be ready. Zack and Mark, could you please take me to the church?"

Zack opened his wallet and put a $20.00 bill on the table and we left.

Hey it's only 10:30 on a Sunday morning and it feels like a decade has past. I think some people learned that Zack was not about to be pushed around. After we got back to the church, Jeff whispered to me, "Mark, don't let him get away. He is definitely a keeper and a winner."

Editor's Notes:

As I have said many times in the past, "I loved this chapter."

It is beginning to look as though Mark and Zack are falling for each other. That really is cool. I still can't get over the fact that Beau has grown up and has married Becca. I always thought they belonged together. It looks like things are really starting to blossom, and this story is going to be another wonderful bright light to shine for us in each new chapter. I can hardly wait for the next episode.
