Chapter 6 Brian Kinney’s Townhouse Upper West Side New York City 9PM Sun Oct 10 2018 “Who could be calling on a Sunday night? It had better be important.” Why am I talking to myself? Brian wondered as he walked across the living room to reach the ringing phone. “Brian is that you?” Lindsay Peterson’s voice on the phone asked. “Who else would be answering my phone?” Something must be wrong, I haven’t heard from Lindsay in at least two years. “The last time I called you, a Raul answered your phone Brian.” That certainly was surprising, that you’d let anyone stay in your home long enough to be comfortable answering the phone. “He was a good fuck I allowed him some liberties, but he’s been out of my life for over a year.” He wanted to get serious about our relationship, he wanted to move in here with me and most of all he thought that because we’d been together for almost two years I should roll over for him once in a while. Someday I’ll meet a guy that I’ll want to bottom for but I’m not holding my breath about it. It’s been almost thirty years since a cock has been up my ass so I think I can wait some more. I wonder why I stopped bottoming, I remember enjoying a cock up my ass but I don’t remember why I quit. I suppose some fool did a poor job of it and I just didn’t want to risk a bad fuck again. I wonder if Gus is a top or bottom? Where did that thought come from? “What do you want Lindsay, you haven’t called in over two years so what’s happened?” Nothing’s happened to Gus or my spy would’ve told me about it. “Does something have to happen in order for me to feel the need to call a good friend?” I hope the guilt I feel for how Mel and I treated him about Gus isn’t coming through. I hope that it hasn’t been too long and Brian still cares enough about his son to help me with this disaster I’ve created. “Lindsay you’ve called me maybe 10 times in the last 17 years and every time was about some problem in your life. Pardon me if I expect this call to be the same.” Brian replied to the mother of his son with some degree of despair. Why did I let those two munchers convince me that abandoning my son was a good idea? “OK Brian you’ve caught me, but this time it does really involve you. I’ve come to realize in the last couple of months how wrong Mel and I were to push you out of Gus’s life. How wrong you were to let us push you out of his life. Brian you need to come to Pittsburgh and talk some sense into your son.” I hope that doesn’t sound as pathetic to Brian as it does to me. “What the fuck’s wrong with Gus? What good would it do for me to come now? The boy wouldn’t even recognize me so how can I do any good?” Whatever the problem is it has to be recent or my spy would’ve let me know that something was happening to Sonnyboy. I never thought I could love anyone as much as I love my son. “He’ll know who you are Brian, he looks into the mirror almost every morning now that he thinks he needs to shave. Except for being a few inches shorter he’s the spitting image of you at that age. I don’t know what good it would do Brian I just know he isn’t listening to me. He’s going to ruin his entire future if he follows through with what he’s threatened to do.” That was hyperbole but I have to get Brian here before Gus goes through with his threat. “Tell me what he’s threatened to do and maybe I’ll have a clue as how to stop him from ruining his life.” God she can be so over dramatic, just because she managed to get my drunken ass into her bed a couple of times when we were at Penn State she’s always thought that we should’ve been a couple. I would’ve thought that as drunk as I had to be to get in bed with a girl I wouldn’t have been able to get a hard-on but she managed the feat 2 or three time, I don’t remember for sure. “He’s threatening to elope.” Lindsay whispered into the phone. “What the fuck? I thought he was gay.” Brian almost shouted into the phone. What have those munchers done to my son. I’d never admit it to anyone but I was very happy when my spy told me that Gus had announced he was gay at one of the family dinners at Deb’s place after his 16th birthday. I was an idiot to let them push me out of his life. I thought it was best for the boy since there was no way I could be a good father. He’s an intelligent young man he has to know getting tied down to some girl at his age has to be a mistake. How could my spy let me down this badly? “Gus is gay, he has no more interest in girls than you did, even if we made love a few times in college. Gus has been seeing another boy and they’ve been having sex almost every night.” This threat to elope only came because I told him he should slow down in his romance with Alex. I never thought he would take that as an attack on his true love Alex is a wonderful young man but they’re too young to get married. They’re too young to be having sex every night. “Then what are you worried about? They can’t elope, Pennsylvania still hasn’t legalized gay marriage.” Having sex every night. He’s my son after all even if it’s with the same guy. “I know Pennsylvania hasn’t legalized gay marriage but West Virginia has done so. Since both of them are over 17 they can get married there with or without parental permission. I just wanted them to slow down; not to stop their romance.” Gus is over reacting and Alex will calm him down. I hope so any way. “Shit, I forgot about West Virginia legalizing gay marriage. I have a business deal in Pittsburgh that I can probably move up. Lindsay I’ll be there as soon as I can but I can’t promise you anything. Gus probably won’t talk to me and neither of us can say anything if he does make that decision. What do you expect me to do anyway? Do you want me to promote promiscuity over monogamy? That he should sow some wild oats and fuck a different man every night before he settles down with one guy.” Brian couldn’t believe he got those words out of his mouth. Whether anyone believes it or not I’m ready to settle down with one guy, maybe not monogamously but I am ready to settle down and have been for years. I think those dreams I’ve been having for almost 20 years has something to do with my wanting to settle down. “I just want you to convince our son that he’s too young to marry. Alex may be the one for him but it’s too early. They’ve only known each other since the start of school.” I’m babbling but I can’t help it. Gus was so serious when he threatened to elope if I didn’t get off of his back. “I’ll try to be there by Wednesday. Who’s this boy he’s so smitten with?” God, who would’ve thought Brian Kinney would use the word smitten. “Alex Taylor, he and his Dad moved to Pittsburgh this summer. They’re very nice people but Gus and Alex are too young to be as serious as they are about each other. Alex is exactly a year younger than Gus, a few inches shorter and he’s blond. He reminds me of someone but I simply can’t figure out who it is. His Dad is a very nice man., who‘s done a very good job of raising his son by himself. I‘d be honored to have Gus and Alex marry someday but not when they‘re still in High School.” I’d say Alex’s Dad was perfect for you if you actually were interested in having a long term relationship. If he wasn’t too young for you. If, he wasn’t a top too. Debbie really can’t keep a secret about anyone. Though how she knows everything about everyone is a secret she does keep. I’d try setting you two up anyway if you lived in Pittsburgh. Lindsay thought about what could be but probably never would. “Do you want to tell Gus that I’m coming to see him. He’ll be suspicious since I haven’t seen him, other than a few random encounters, since he was practically an infant.” I got that lie out without giving it away. “You said you have business in town, he might buy it if you looked him up since you’ll be in Pittsburgh for something besides him. I don’t know Brian what ever you think will work the best. We just have to keep him from throwing his life away because he got mad at me.” I know better but I just can’t help being upset that my little boy is taking a cock up his ass, he’s too young to be doing that already. Alex is even younger and he shouldn’t be letting Gus stick his cock up his ass. I never knew I could be so hypocritical but he’s my little boy and I just not ready for him to grow up. “Can you make sure he’ll be at the diner, I could drop in there to see Deb and she’d point him out to me if only to rub it into my face that I was wrong to let you and Mel push me out of his life.” Deb hasn’t forgiven me for backing out of Gus’ life all those years ago.” Gus is too smart to fall for any trick we try to play. He’s also too smart to believe the truth either. Having sex every night; he really is a chip off of the old block, even I don’t have sex every night anymore. “Just let me know when you’ll be in town and I can send him to the Diner to get some Lemon Bars. Brian it has to be a time when Alex isn’t working, as a waiter, at the Diner though.” Wait until Brian hears the reason for that. I almost burst into laughter when Gus explained it to me. “Why’s that? I would expect that if they love each other so much that they want to elope that Gus would be there every time his boyfriend is working.” This is something else my spy hasn’t reported. He better have a good explanation for all of these lapses in his information. “Gus would be there if he could, but Deb banned him from the Diner when Alex is working. I’ve never seen Gus so mad as when Deb pulled that on him. He just paced back and forth in front of the living room window until I thought he‘d wear a hole in the floor. He‘s got the Kinney mouth though, I didn‘t know he knew all of those cuss words.” He was mad at her but he understood her reasons but when I tried to slow them down he threatened to elope. Lindsay tried to figure out the male teenage mind. “Why did Deb do that?” This will be good, Brian grinned to himself. “Because he was so protective of Alex that some of the customers wouldn’t even come to the Diner if they thought that Gus would be there. He has the Kinney stare down to a science. None of us ever expected Gus to be so protective, let alone so jealous.” Alex must be a hell of a fuck for Gus to care so much, that is so unfair why to I think so badly of the boy my son loves so much? “I’ve never known Deb to worry about something like that.” Just think my Sonnyboy is threatening the Queens of Liberty Avenue to stay away from his man. I don’t think I’ve ever been so proud. “Alex wasn’t getting any tips when the customers were afraid to be seen even looking in his direction. I don’t know for sure but I think he asked Deb to step in.” The two of them are so good together but I wish I could figure out who Alex reminds me of. “I’ll call when I have my travel information. Just don’t push him anymore about his romance.” He’s Kinney enough to elope even if he knows it’s the worst thing for him. Brian Kinney’s Townhouse Upper West Side New York City 11PM Sun October 10 2018 Brian, wearing only a blue silk sleep shirt, is talking on his portable phone while pacing in his bedroom. “Why did I find out about my son wanting to elope with his boyfriend from his mother instead of from you? Why didn’t I know he was this serious about this boy? Why did I find out that the two are fucking every night of the week?” I’ll be in Pittsburgh later this week, you’d better have some answers.” With that final comment Brian slammed the phone shut and went to bed. “Why good-bye to you too Mr. Kinney.” The spy said to a dead phone. Brian Kinney never queens out. my left foot, the spy told himself with some amusement.
