There was a loud bang on the door.
"Johnny!?"
"That's dad."
I quickly got off him and cover myself with the sheets. He gives me a kiss and gets off the bed. I watch him taking his pants.
"Johnny!? I know you're at home!"
"A second, dad!"
I watch him putting his pants on. He turns and takes a shirt from him, a white one, he throws it at me and walks out of the room. I look at the shirt and hold it against my nose. I smile as I inhale deeply. He really smells so good. I think about him and how he has changed.
"Good morning to you, son."
"Good morning, dad."
Ron watches his son going to the kitchen and closes the door behind him. He sees a change as he watches his son making coffee when he came to the open kitchen.
"Why are you coming here so early on a Saturday?"
"Early? It's nearly noon."
Johnny looks at the clock and inhales deeply. I slowly came to the kitchen and Ron sees me, he sees me wearing Johnny's shirt and looks back at his son. Though he is smiling, I see a smile. I hold my hands in front of me as I stand in the doorway.
"Care to explain?"
"I know what you're thinking, dad, but believe me, I've changed."
I went to a chair and wanted to sit down, when Johnny grabs my hand. I look at him and see his smile. I smile back at him. His father sees the smile as well. His own smile grows an inch wider.
"I get it."
"No, I don't think you do, dad."
"I do, and we need to talk, son, there's a lot I need to tell you."
Johnny looks at his father and starts to frown as he sees his father's smile. I smile as I went to sit down at the table, pushing my hair behind my ear. I look like a mess, and I know Ron is looking at my state as well.
"Good morning, Baby."
"Morning, Ron."
"You want coffee, dad?"
"Sure, son."
"You too, Baby?"
"I long for coffee."
Johnny chuckles about my reaction and turns to take the mugs out of the cupboard. I look at his back and admire his body. The way he moves, how his muscles roll. It is so sexy and hot. Ron looks at me and smiles.
"Your grandfather has called me this morning."
I look ar Ron and see his teasing smile.
"Oh, and what did he say?"
"He wants to catch up soon, getting in touch again."
"That's nice, it's been a long time I guess."
Ron nods. I am glad to know that pops has sought contact again. I guess because of me and my job, taking Johnny with me to their house. I bet I have loosened something up at my grandparents that they want to be in touch with Ron again.
"I can see you're feeling at ease here."
I look down and start to giggle. Johnny is listening to us, and he gets confused.
"I do feel at ease, very much so."
I wink at him, and he chuckles about it. He looks at his son coming to the table. I watch his face as he gives me a mug. I grab his hand when he sits down next to me. I see his special smile, making me to smile a little more.
"I can see what's happening, this is something good."
"You're not mad?"
Johnny looks at his father and sees his father's smile, he inhales deeply.
"I actually came to check on both of you."
"Why, dad?"
"Well, I got a phone-call."
"From who?"
"Jake Houseman."
Ron sees our faces and he starts to chuckle about it. I look at Johnny whose eyebrows has disappeared behind his messy hair. I giggle about his expression.
"He told me that my son has called him to say that Baby is safe and sound, and that you're doing business so it might be that she ain't coming home this weekend."
I giggle again as I look back at Ron. So, that is Johnny's excuse to have me for himself the whole weekend? It is funny, yet also so very sweet. And kind of selfish, but I do not mind. I can stay here for the rest of my life. Yesterday I thought I wanted to do this slow, and that I wanted to have many dates first. I still want those dates, but now I do not care when I get them. I just want to be with him and spent time with him and do lots of things unheard of with him. Yes, you know what I mean.
"Son."
"Yes?"
"That's about the lamest excuse I've ever heard coming from you."
Johnny looks at his father who starts to laugh about it. Johnny starts to chuckle when he sees his father's expression.
"I didn't know what to say, really. I couldn't just say hey Jake, Baby is here with me and we're going to have sex the whole weekend, could I?"
I laugh out loud about that. Making the two to laugh harder as well. After a few moments, Ron takes his mug and sips his coffee. Then he clears his throat a little.
"It would've been the truth."
"I know, but Jake is still protective."
"Oh, he definitely is, but he told me he could sense what was going on and he told me that he's okay with it. He likes you as if you're his own son."
"Did he really say that?"
"Those are his own words."
"And are you okay with this, dad?"
"Yes, I am."
Johnny nods and I see a smile forming on his lips, my precious special smile again. I watch him entwining fingers as he looks at my face. I smile back at him, leaning in for a kiss. Ron smiles as he watches us.
"But tell me, son, have you really changed? I don't want to see Baby getting hurt."
"I haven't had anyone else in the last three weeks."
"That doesn't say much."
"To me it does."
"Explain please."
"The last three weeks had me thinking about everything in my life. When I saw Baby the first time, I felt something here."
He lays his free hand on his chest. I look at him and see him inhaling deeply. He is not used to talk about feelings, I can see that.
"The way she handles me, or calls me out when I say or do something stupid. I never had that before, dad, not even from you. I know you think I'm a failure in your life, but I saw what mom did to you, and I saw how you lived with it, and it made me decide on a very young age that I would never let anyone get close to me. Love hurts, and why should someone constantly getting hurt? It sucked to watch you being hurt all the time. When I had sex for the first time in my life, it felt great, you know why?"
I can see he is getting frustrated. I squeeze his hand a little to reassure him it is okay. He looks at me, in my eyes, and I give him a smile. I lean in to give him a soft kiss. He closes his eyes and inhales deeply. Ron is watching us. He has a frown while he listens to his son. Johnny looks back at his father.
"It gave me a feeling of freedom, and a feeling of being wanted, that girl I lost my virginity to? I wanted to date her, but all she wanted was sex. So, after the sex, she told me I sucked, and that did hurt, it went deep, so I went to seek it elsewhere, and I got better at it, and eventually girls and women started to want me, telling me they never had such great sex before. I felt wanted, and that feeling felt so good, I could forget everything else in my life for the time being. It became an addiction, and that has given me my bad reputation."
His father inhales deeply, he looks down and sniffs. Johnny sees his father starting to cry.
"Dad?"
"I'm so sorry, son."
Johnny is having tears in his eyes now as well. I see everything coming out, and that this is both sensitive and liberating for them both. Though I feel that Johnny needs my support, so I keep holding his hand. He keeps looking at his father as he wants to tell him everything.
"The last three weeks, with Baby, it feels like my life is finally falling into place. I want to do my best for you, dad, I really do. I'm finally feeling what love is. I tried to flirt with her in the beginning, but she didn't had any of that and told me to stop with it. We have had some real good conversations, she listens to me, she understands me. I never had someone like that in my life. She's letting me do things I thought I never could."
I see Ron looking at me, I smile at him and give him a nod. Johnny is looking down, not showing the tears he has in his eyes. I nudge him a little. He looks at me and I nod my head towards his father. Johnny looks at his father and stands up. Ron looks up at his son and stands up, grabbing his son into a tight hug.
They both cry their hearts out while they hug tightly. I do think this is a good thing, things are coming out and getting settled. I am sure it only will get better from now on.
"I love you, son."
"I love you too, dad."
They let each other go. I stand up, Johnny turns to me. I look in his eyes, he grabs my head and starts to kiss me. I nearly choke on my breath, but I kiss him back. Ron sits back down as he is watching us, and drying his eyes with his handkerchief. I stop the kiss and smile. He still has his eyes closed and lays his forehead against mine.
"I'm hungry."
I can see him starting to smile as he opens his eyes.
"There are cereals in the cupboard and milk in the fridge, I haven't done any groceries as of late."
"I wonder why?"
I wink at him, and I went to the fridge to get myself some cereals. Ron is watching me for a moment and then he looks back at his son.
