Tip and Ty Chapter 5 -- The Interview Process Begins By E Walk (Copyrighted by the autho) Edited by Radio Rancher
On Wednesday morning, I got up and went to the small gym in the condo commons area. I stopped at the desk to check-in and a handsome young man met me, "Good morning Mr. Washington, my predecessor said you would probably be the first to arrive. He was correct in his assessment that you were an extremely handsome man."
I was a little rattled by his forthrightness but recovered, "First, my name is Tip, since I am probably only six or seven years older than you. So what do I call you? Do I have to say hey you, get your beautiful bottom here and help me?"
The young guy looked flustered, "My name is Mark, and I am 23 years old."
"Good, now that we got that settled, would you like to accompany me as I do my warm-up exercises? Perhaps you could spot for me while I work on the weights and then we could run some laps if some more customers don't come in."
Mark looked at me with big eyes, "You mean you wouldn't mind working out with the help? Mr. Washington, Chad said you were a great guy for a doctor."
"Mark, what did you just call me?" I scowled.
"I'm sorry Tip, it slipped out." Mark said as he joined me in the warm up area.
I led us through some warm up exercises and since no one had come in, we went to the weight area. Mark stood over me as I started to lift. I could see that he had a nice package between his legs. As he watched me, it started to grow. I decided this could not happen so I had Mark get on the bench and had him start to lift. I could tell he was not concentrating.
I put the bar on the cradle, "Mark, we need to talk."
Mark sat up and looked very confused, "But Tip, what did I do?"
I sat down beside him and whispered, "Mark, I have someone else I love. We have never done anything sexual, but I have been in love with him for seventeen years. Now, let's go run before anyone else comes in."
We went to the small track and started to jog. I decided to take the initiative, "Okay Mark, tell me in five minutes about yourself."
Mark almost pulled to a stop before he started to run again. "Tip, I am the second son of a Jewish/Catholic marriage. I think I am gay and my parents have been very supportive of me ever since Beau read them the riot act. I have never let myself have any sexual encounters even though I wanted to. I was graduated in December from Northwest Missouri State University where I got my degree in Early Childhood Education."
"I started off majoring to be a secondary social studies teacher, but Beau convinced me that is not where I would be the most effective and guided me to the Early Childhood Development curriculum, since I love young children."
"I tried working in a day care facility, but it was like an army boot camp for children. Most of the so called adults were inadequately trained to work with young children. I quit that job and took this job hoping something would open in the public schools over the summer. I need this job to afford the dump where I am living and to be able to pay for food."
Our conversation was cut short when two more clients arrived and Mark went to help them. I watched as Mark left. He definitely was a beautiful young man and had taken care of his body.
I waved to Mark as I was leaving. As I was walking back to the condo, I was thinking about what a nice young man Mark was.
When I walked into the condo, I could smell food cooking. I went into the kitchen and Bobby was standing there trying to fix scrambled eggs. I smacked him lightly on the bottom and told him to go get his Dad, brother and sisters and get ready for the day.
He gave me no backtalk which seemed odd. It was almost 15 minutes later when everyone started to arrive. When everyone was present I served orange juice and some fresh scrambled eggs and bacon with toast and jam. Billy started to say something, but Bobby stopped him, "Billy just eat." I quickly finished and rinsed my dishes and went to get ready for the day. I was coming out of the bathroom and saw Ty standing there laughing. "You have the children mesmerized. You are too darn efficient."
Ty held me and kissed me on the lips and I started to get aroused. I pushed him away before I lost control. "Go take the oldest three to school while I get dressed and then you can come back and get Barbie. In the meantime, find something suitable for her to watch on television while you are gone."
I quickly dressed and went to find Barbie. She was in the den sitting in my chair watching television. I picked her up and put her on my lap. She looked up at me, "I love you Uncle Tip."
I pulled her close and just held her until Ty returned. I got up to leave and swatted his backside, "Be good, my friend."
Ty just looked at me and licked his lips.
When I got home that evening, I had little bodies all over me. Billy, the kindergartner, said, "Guess what Uncle Tip, there have been five calls from people who want to take care of us."
I hugged the children and went to change. Bobby followed me to my room. "Uncle Tip, you won't let Daddy hire someone who we won't like will you?"
I sucked in my breath and grabbed him and held him tight even though I only had my briefs on. "Bobby, I can assure you that your Dad and I will find the perfect person to take care of you. It may take a while, but we will find the right person."
Bobby kissed me and wiggled free. He started to leave but stood in the door, "Thanks Uncle Tip."
My goodness, I thought to myself, `he is a good looking young man even though he was only nine.'
After dinner the phone kept ringing. I let Ty answer the phone and got the children ready for bed. I had them on my bed reading to them when Ty came in and took them to their bedrooms. He had just returned when the phone rang again and I went to take a shower. When I came out, I put on my robe and went to find Ty. He was sitting on the sofa looking at the phone. "That was the strangest call. It was from a gentleman asking for an interview on Friday evening. He needs to go home on Saturday for a wedding and to pick up the rest of his personal things."
We locked up and went to the bedroom. I was reclining on the bed reading when Ty came out of the shower. He put on his shorts and laid down beside me, "How much longer do we have to wait until we can ravage each other's bodies?"
I pulled Ty close, "You heard what the technician said. The results should be available by Friday."
Ty folded into my arms and I finally went to sleep. In the morning, I was awakened by a movement at my backside. I crawled out of bed and dressed to go to the gym. Ty moaned, but I figured this was best. I walked to the gym and Mark was the only person there.
I looked at him, "Okay Mark, let's get warmed up."
We did our warm-up and stretching exercises. We were moving to the bench area when two more clients came in. I did only a limited number of presses and then went for my run.
As I was leaving, Mark came up to me and whispered. "I missed our chat this morning. I hope I see you tomorrow but I won't be here this weekend."
When I got back to the condo, Ty and Bobby were fixing breakfast. Bobby looked at me and said, "You smell, go take a shower and wake the other children please. Dad and I have everything under control. Here, take a cup of coffee to get you started."
I looked at Ty and he shrugged his shoulders. I did as I was told. And I got the three youngest children ready for the day. As I was finishing my grooming, Billy came into my bathroom and asked, "Uncle Tip, you aren't going to leave us too are you?"
I grabbed him and hugged him, "Billy, I will never leave you. I think that you and your brother and sisters are the best thing that ever happened."
"But what about Daddy? Don't you like him?"
I almost lost my composure but gathered my thoughts, "Billy, I have loved your Daddy for 17 years. That's a long time. I just want to take care of you all."
Billy grabbed my face and kissed me. "Are you going to be our other Daddy?"
"Billy, I will always be your Uncle Tip, but I will love you like another Daddy."
Billy left and I was standing there wondering what was happening. Ty came into the room, "Come on other Daddy, breakfast is ready."
We both stood there and started to laugh.
When I got home that night, the house was quiet. I walked into the kitchen and there was a note. `Tip, I have taken the girls to their ballet lesson and took the guys with me much to their dismay. We are going to stop and grab something to eat after the lessons. Would you please get the telephone number of anyone who calls about the nanny job and I will call them and set up appointments with them?"
I started to fix a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich with a bowl of fruit. I hadn't even got seated when the phone started to ring. I had no sooner hung up than another call came in. It was like that for an hour and a half. When Ty and the children came in, I handed the phone to Ty and said, "I am off duty. I had twenty calls. Come on my little friends let's get you ready for bed and I'll finish the book before you need to go to sleep."
The five of us were lying on my bed when Ty came in. He handed the phone to me, "This is Tip Washington."
I heard a snicker on the phone, "Hi Dad, I just wanted to call and tell you that I will be there early tomorrow. The afternoon classes have been cancelled because some dignitary is visiting. Love you Dad."
We got the children settled and we turned off the phone. Ty and I climbed into the shower together. We washed each other but that was all. We climbed into bed and Ty pulled me close, "Tip why didn't we do this years ago?"
"Ty, you were not ready and didn't think it was possible for you to really love another man. Just think if we had done this then, we wouldn't have had five beautiful children."
Ty kissed me gently but didn't try to do anything else. I think he was beginning to realize that we really needed to proceed slowly. He whispered in my ear, "Tip I do love you."
I held him close, "Double that Ty."
On Friday morning, I went to the gym and Mark already had two people he was working with. When I came in, he came over to check me in. He took a piece of paper and wrote me a note, `Tip, these two guys are new and they are making me feel very uncomfortable. Please keep your eyes on us. They claim they are novices and want some help."
I did my warm-up exercises and then moved to the weight area. I watched and sure enough the two guys kept touching Mark in ways that were not really appropriate. I finished with the weights and was moving toward the track when I saw the two guys closing in on Mark.
I quietly walked up to them and I heard one of them say, "Come on queer boy, we need some action."
"Mark, is there a problem here? Mark caught my motion. He took one of the guys to the mat and I took the other down.
"Thanks Doctor Washington."
"Mark, report what these two did to you today, and I am sure that they will be barred from using the facilities. This is not a sex facility. It is for people who want to improve or maintain their bodies."
We released the guys and they left without any comments. Mark leaned against me, "Tip, thank you. I was so scared."
"Mark, you need to make sure that you are never put into this position again. You are too friendly and people think that you are coming on to them. I have only known you a short time and I realize that you are not trying to crawl into everyone's pants."
Mark looked at me, "Tip, I need to find another job and soon. I don't want to work in this environment. Thanks for your help today."
I went back to the condo and everyone was already eating. When I walked into the kitchen, Bobby put his hands on his hips and said, "Well it's about time. Did you find a toy at the gym this morning?"
"Bobby, I had to take care of some injustices this morning. I'm sorry I am late. I won't let it happen again."
Billy looked at me, "Uncle Tip, just ignore Bobby. He acts like a mother hen sometimes."
I ate my breakfast and got ready for the day. Everything was normal until I received the lab results. It was like the dam was about to burst.
