Chapter Three

After they got the truck unloaded, Tristan and the other men went over to a barrel and used some of the water inside to was the sweat from their faces and chests, and when Joey saw the water trickling down Tristan's chest well he groaned silently and closed his eyes and willed his body to settle down or he wouldn't be able to walk and he would be embarrassed by the bulge in the front of his pants.

Tristan then put back on his shirt and walked over to where Joey was and then he said "we can use that truck over there till they have another load for me to deliver. I have a small apartment not to far from here and we can go shower and change and then I'll treat us to a good dinner, what do you say?"

Joey smiled at him and he swallowed the lump in his throat and said "that sounds like a great idea."

They got into the truck and Tristan drove to a place that was near a Park and as they got out of the truck he turned to Joey and said "if it bothers you staying here with me I can always find another place for you to stay."

Joey smiled at his friend and he said "hey, come on were old friends and I don't know where I would rather be then here with you." He had tears in his eyes as he said that and he lowered his head so that Tristan couldn't see the tears, but Tristan heard them in his voice and decided not to pressure him about it and simply opened the door and showed him in.

The apartment had two bedrooms, a bathroom that was unusually large, a nice kitchen and a living room with the view of the park. Tristan then told Joey "you can have this bedroom and you can put your things away while I shower and change and they you can shower later."

Joey closed the door and leaned against it and as tears fell from his eyes he closed his mind to whatever he had been thinking and told himself "what you're thinking is just with your crotch and nothing more. He doesn't have feelings towards you so snap out of it or lose the only friend you have left in this stupid world. Joey then thought about Yugi and Yami and that they were out of the country with Solomon and he wished that Yug was here so that he could talk to him right now."

He unpacked his meager things and then went into the kitchen to get some water and he heard the shower running and god, the feelings were back again and he went back into his bedroom locked the door and relieved himself and as he ejaculated he breathed a sigh of relief that now maybe he could at least be around Tristan without making a complete fool of himself.

Tristan took a hot shower and as he was washing his body he started thinking about Joey and god he got so erect that it hurt to even breathe and so he did the only thing he could think of he masturbated to relieve himself from the sexual tension and then he finished his shower, got out and went to his room to change.

He heard Joey going into the bathroom and he started getting hard again and he thought to himself "how the hell am I going to be able to be anywhere close to Joey if I keep getting erections just thinking about him well he had to relieve himself again and prayed that it wouldn't happen again anytime soon.

When Joey got out of the shower and had changed, he went to the living room and stood looking out the window and didn't hear Tristan when he came out of his room and when Tristan said "Joey" he jumped and turned around and there standing not but a few feet from him was Tristan and god did he ever look good. Joey tried to make his body relax and as he looked into Tristan's eyes and saw what he thought was a flicker of hope he blinked and it was gone.

Joey smiled and said "ready to go get some food, I'm starved."

Tristan willed his body to mind and then he smiled back at him and said "sure am let's go." Tristan locked the door and as they walked to the truck Tristan asked "what kind of food would you like tonight?"

Joey was in a playful mood and he told him "anything that won't bite me back is fine with me."

Tristan started laughing and soon they were the friends that they use to be, laughing and joking with each other without having to tell the other how they really felt about the other one. It was going to be a really good time just being friends.

They went to a small place called "Momma's Kitchen" that Tristan had found his first trip here and he came back here every time he could. As they walked into the place Joey fell instantly in love with it. A little old gentleman came over and gave Tristan a hug and said "momma come here, Tristan's back."

The kitchen door swung open and out came this plump little old lady with the most beautiful smile on her face and she said "Tristan its good you come back." She gave him a hug and kissed his cheek and then he introduced them to Joey and they each gave him a hug and the Petro said "it's good to meet a friend of our Tristan's."

Joey said "thank you and I'm glad to meet you both." Then Petro showed them to a table and handed them a menu and asked "what you want to drink?"

Tristan said "water will be just fine, I might be driving tomorrow." Petro patted his cheek and went to get them some cold water. Tristan then asked Joey "see anything that you like?"

Joey almost forgot that he was holding the menu and almost said "yes, you, but instead he said "I'll have the Lasagna with a small salad." Tristan smiled and he said "you're going to make momma very happy, she loves it when someone knows good food and her lasagna is the best in the whole world."

Petro came back and placed a large pitcher fill with ice and water on the table and the he asked "what you two going to eat?"

Tristan then said "two large plates of lasagna and two salads with Italian dressing please."

Petro's eyes lit up as he called out "momma, two plates you lasagna and two salads with Italian dressing."

They heard a squeal of delight coming from the kitchen and then Petro said "me go help her or she get herself hurt."

Both Tristan and Joey laughed as Petro scurry off to help his wife and then Joey happened to look into Tristan's eyes and there was that same look, was it real or was he just imagining it? Joey blinked and it was gone and he just looked down at the table and when he looked at Tristan he smiled and asked "how long have you been driving trucks?"

Before Tristan could say anything, Petro had their plates of lasagna and salads and was placing them on the table in front of them and he said "hope you like momma's lasagna." Joey smiled at him and he said "I'm sure that I will." They ate their dinner in silence only commenting on how good the food was, and when they were through and Tristan paid the bill, they walked out into the star lit sky, got into the truck and he drove back to the apartment. They got out and walked inside and Tristan said "have to call and see if they have a load for me, see you in the morning."

Joey walked into the room closed the door and for once he had a good nights sleep and only woke up when Tristan was knocking on his door saying "Joey, get up I have to deliver another load." Joey sat up wiped the sleep from his eyes and got dressed and went to the kitchen to find Tristan had made coffee and after drinking two cups he went and asked Tristan "where are you delivering this to?"

Tristan told him "Domino, but if you'd rather wait here till I come back, I'll understand." Joey looked at him and he said "I'll go with you." They went out to the truck and Tristan drove back to the location where there was a truck ready for him to deliver its contents to Domino.
