Chapter 6
David did a good half day at the car lot, selling four perfectly respectable cars, showing Max he still had it so to speak, to his surprise his colleague didn't ask to many questions, which in Davids eyes made the time pass quicker.
He said his good nights and promised he would return the following morning.
Now to deal with his next problem... Young Liam... He clearly wasn't pleased to be graced with his presence once again, as always David had been working on a plan, he would throw money at the problem - the typical Wicks way - he would buy him a present, something to take his mind off himself and Carol.
He went to the nearest pet shop, buying a Gerbil, along with the perfect cage plus accessories.
The little Gerbil was pure black with a white dot by one ear, David chose this one because of its cute distinctive white mark, a birth mark perhaps? David thought.
He smiled to himself proudly as he entered the house with his peace offering gift.
Liam and Carol were sat chatting in the kitchen.
"Why does everyone seem to congregate in the kitchen?" David muttered bursting in.
"Liam" he grinned placing the cage and bags on the table "I got you a present" he continued handing Liam a small box containing the little fluffy ball he had purchased.
"Oh what is it?" Asked his grandson curiously opening the small box.
"Its a little Gerbil!" Yelled David excitedly.
"What am I supposed to do with this?" Spat Liam watching the fur ball scutter about the table.
"Ohh" shrieked Carol jumping back "what the fuck!" She yelled shooting David a look of pure evil.
"Oh come on you two its a little Gerbil, every boy of Liam's age needs a fury friend" informed David scooping it up before it did a suicide jump off the side of the table.
"That's not the type of fury friend I want" exclaimed a very unhappy Liam.
David took a seat beside him "but look at him, all he wants is someone to love him" he said with a smile.
He could tell now Liam was possibly coming round to him, he was just keeping the stubborn act up, David handed the tiny rat type creature over and watched as the two bonded for a few minutes.
"Why don't you go and get him settled in?" Suggested David pushing the many bags towards Liam "everything you need is here, we got the cage, toys, sawdust, bedding the lot!"
Liam actually looked happy at this point, so this meant one nil to David, at least for the next hour anyway.
"Hmm ok, he is sort of sweet looking" answered Liam.
"Looks like a rat, keep it out of my way" Carol insisted keeping up the evil stare in Davids direction.
David laughed and led her into the living area quietly closing the door "I want you Carol" he whispered undoing his shirt, watching her take a seat then grabbing his crotch "wanted you all day" he squeezed himself hard making himself groan, his stiff cock throbbing, aching to be released from his trousers.
Carol lay back on the sofa, slowly slipping her hand into her knickers "your a bad boy David" she groaned as she worked herself up.
He walked over now naked his cock dripping with pre cum, he towers over her, looking into her eyes "I want you" he mouths silently...
"Take me" Carol gasps as they burst into a marathon of hard wet kisses...
"Nana, grandad! Its escaped!" Came Liam's irate voice from outside the room.
"Fuck sake" stuttered David pulling himself up and grabbing his shirt and boxers.
Liam burst in just in time to see a near enough fully clothed Carol and David.
"Whitey! Whitey escaped!" Cried Liam trembling ignoring the semi naked state his grandparents were in. "You've only had it five minutes" exclaimed David fastening his belt...
The three of them searched long and hard for over two hours eventually finding the little trouble maker quivering in Liam's room, they placed it back in the cage, making sure it was secure before heading to bed.
A week past, Carol and David got their time alone, Liam came home everyday and raced to his room with a smile and not a frown, his new companion seemed to be doing him the world of good, he would come home and build obstacle courses on his bedroom floor, they would play the PlayStation together, he would let it run about in its little ball on the landing and catch it before it fell down the stairs before it killed itself, these were good times.
Until one night he was woken, he sat up and saw his fury friend stood on a mountain of straw, on its hinged legs, hands above its head and teeth biting at the cage door...
And bam the cage door flies wide open, the Gerbil flies high into the air seemingly landing swiftly and softly on the bedroom floor, then makes a dart for the door.
Liam sat and watched stunned for a moment, did he really just see that? Did that really just happen?
"Ahhhhh" came a deranged scream..
"Oh shit" muttered Liam pulling on his dressing gown and rushing out to find David cradling Carol, who was shaking at the sight of the little animal, the Gerbil was under a large glass vase "Um Liam, I did buy you a cage for this" stated David.
"Grandad it got out!, it opened the cage" protested Liam.
"Oh great David! You can't buy him a normal pet can you?" Screamed Carol pulling away " you have to go and buy the Harry Houdini of gerbils!"
David had to hold back the laughter, if anyone could choose an animal worthy of that name it would be him "well so I chose a radio active fur ball, I'm sooooo sorry" he chuckled picking the Gerbil up and ushering Liam back to his room.
"This time keep an eye on it" warned David gaffer tapping the door on the cage so it was firmly secure "there, it can't get out of that" he assured "now get some kip" he continued before leaving the room and closing the door quietly.
Liam woke bright and early, he yawned and glanced over to the Gerbil cage, a cage which was now empty...
He had David and Carol searching for hours, but to no avail, the Gerbil had gone.
David sat down with Liam and took his hand, he could tell his grandson had become somewhat attached to his little friend, he felt for him ...
"Liam" he started taking in a deep breath "maybe little Whitey found that the cage was a prison" as these words came out he winked at Carol, she was stood boldly with her arms crossed, clearly not happy "you must remember it could have been bought by someone that wouldn't look after it or it could have died in the pet shop" David knew he needed to up his game here so he pushed it to the limit..
"You must be happy now because its free Liam, it wants to die a free Gerbil!" Exclaimed David doing some very unnecessary hand movements, he stood up and raised his hands "be happy he's free, maybe he's gone off to make some Gerbil typed Rabbit babies, he now has the freedom he craved"
"Oh shut up David" spat Carol vacationing the room.
"No carry on grandad, I'm listening" pleaded Liam looking intently at his grandfather.
David continued "if you didn't have a little fluffy ball to make you question the meaning of freedom and what it truly means to live life, how would you learn anything?"
Liam sat back in his seat mulling this question over, he eventually shrugged forcing David to carry on "if you really want to find happiness, you need to have the courage to break out, like the Gerbil, find your own freedom and live life on your terms"
Liam sat glaring at him for a few moments before nodding, the nod was accompanied with a smile "thanks granddad" he chuckled heading to his room.
"You talk a good line" said Carol walking in "that was really sweet"
"I meant every word" answered David planting a kiss on her lips "I need to pop out, I'll be back soon" he promised grabbing his phone and car keys.,...
David got out the car and took in a breath of the night air, he reached into his inside pocket and pulled out little Whitey "lovely fields here" he muttered letting the Gerbil run between his hands, he had found him by the front door shaking in a shoe, there was no point giving him back to Liam, this self aware Gerbil knew what he wanted so there for would continue trying to escape.
David knew most humans weren't aware of their place on this earth, and he was one of them.
He knew that even in the short time his grandson had had the rodent, he had learned a pretty big lesson, about life, about the way the world works, how not everything in life is fair, how sometimes people are ignorant towards the feelings of others.
"Goodbye and fair well my friend, enjoy being free" said David as he placed the little bundle down and watched it explore then vanish into the tall grass, which would now be its home, its free open home... ...
