The Wounds Within My Heart

Part Eight

The Surprise

Chapter 17

Pietro

I walked through the door of my house that Saturday afternoon. Mom and dad helped with the groceries I bought. They had helped me pick out the things I wanted, and I was glad that they were there to help. Lexy had picked up a couple of other things I would need, and she had them in the fridge for later. After closing then locking the door, I checked the clock on my phone. It was almost 1:00 P.M. I would be picking Nohea from his house around 2:00 P.M., so I had a little time to get some of the things set up.

My family would be stopping by to pick up Nohea. Afterwards, we would return to the house, at which point my parents would be going out and Lexy would be spending the evening with her friends. The parents wouldn't be back until well-after 11:00 P.M., and I was glad that they trusted Nohea and I enough to be by ourselves. It was the maturity for our ages, as well as Nohea's dad and my family, who taught us well. Together that helped with them trusting us with being on our own for that long of a stretch. I was just glad that I'd have several hours uninterrupted between my lover and I!

After I got the food in the fridge, I set the condiments on the counter. Mom and dad were getting themselves ready in their bedroom, and Lexy was putting stuff in her over-night bag back in her room. After I set the last jar on the counter away from the edge, I heard Lexy call for me. I went into where she was, and she motioned for me to come over to the bed.

I went over, and I helped her with getting her bag zipped shut.

"I had to work a little hard at that," I said. "You don't have much in there, but I would have thought that you did with how the zipper was acting."

"It's getting old," she said then took the bag into the living room. "Thanks for helping me."

"You're welcome, and thanks for helping me with all the shopping earlier," I replied.

"It's no problem, and I was really glad I could help," she said.

We hugged, then after Mom and Dad came out into the living room, they said it was time to get going. I held the door for them as they exited the house. Once they were in the car, I closed then locked the door. Looking back at the house for a moment, I walked to the car and got in then we were off.

When Nohea and I got together that afternoon, I was going to be making dinner for him. It was going to be his favorite, which was steak, fried potatoes and corn. I also had Key Lime Pie for dessert. The things that Lexy had picked up for me were two bottles of non-alcohol apple cider, and a bottle of sparkling strawberry cider. It was as close to alcohol we would get, and I didn't feel comfortable with doing under-age drinking. Fortunately, neither did Nohea.

The other thing Lexy got for me were two packages, each of which contained three candle sticks. I was going to set those up later, much later, for the other part of Nohea's surprise. I was glad that Lexy got those, and I thanked her for them when she gave them to me before leaving.

If you were wondering how I'd cook the food on my own that evening, I had gotten really good at cooking when I started living with Lexy and our parents. They helped me with simple things like a hamburger, hot dog and baked potatoes among other foods. I caught on quickly, and the first time I had made steak with their assistance was back towards the end of October. I did well with it, and their help definitely kept me on track with getting it cooked the way it needed to be. I made steak the second time independently in the middle of November, and that went really well, along with cooking the other side dishes that my family and I had with it. So now I was going to be cooking for Nohea, and I felt more than confident with getting it done.

I thought about all that as we drove along, and when I looked out the window after leaving my thoughts, I saw that we were pulling on to Nohea's street.

Nohea

Most of that Saturday in the morning was spent with Triston and I watching a few music videos on YouTube, then a little after 11:00 A.M., I checked my bag. It was basically packed save for a stick of deodorant and my bodywash. Once those were packed, I sat down on the edge of my bed.

Triston had been watching me pack the last couple of items I'd need, and I could tell he was sad about me leaving that day. Once I had sat down, Triston sat down beside me and I put my arm around his shoulders, pulling him close.

"I'll miss you," he typed, then I could sense his eyes on me.

I stroked his cheek, then put my arm around him.

"I'll miss you too bro," I replied. "I'll be back on Monday though, and of course I'll call you at certain points later today and tomorrow while I'm at Pietro's house."

"I know, thanks," Triston answered.

"You're welcome," I said.

Triston rested his forehead against mine, looking deep into my eyes. It was almost like what Pietro would do, but unlike with Pietro, Triston was communicating his deep love for me as brothers. I appreciated that a lot, and I did my best to aim my eyes directly in the direction of his own.

Triston then moved his head away from mine, but still continued to look at me.

"I hope you and Pietro have a really nice time together," he typed.

"Thanks, so do I," I answered. "I'm sure we will."

We shared a long hug, then my dad called out that Pietro and his family were pulling into our driveway. I stood up with Triston right by my side, and I grabbed my over-night bag. We walked into the entry way and Dad was unlocking then opening up the front door. Pietro, Bryan and Amy entered as they greeted him then Triston and I.

"It's really good to see you guys again," I said.

Triston hugged each one of them, then I hugged Dad then Triston, who held on for a long moment. I held him tightly, then we separated.

"I'll see you on Monday," I said, then kissed Triston's cheek. He kissed back, then watched me as I grabbed my bag and started walking towards the door.

Dad closed the door behind me after we both shared a hug and kiss. As I held on to Pietro's elbow, we were walking down the sidewalk that led to the driveway, and Pietro told me that Triston had his face pressed to the window that was set in the middle of the front door. He was watching me intently, as if trying to burn my image into his memory forever.

"He looks really sad," Pietro went on. "Then again, he always does look that way when you have to leave."

"I know," I answered. "He has really become attached to me. I love him very much too. Sometimes I worry about how it'll go when I leave home once I'm an adult and it comes time to do that."

"I understand what you mean," Pietro replied as we got in the back seat of the car. "I'm sure you'll be there to help him with the adjustment as best as you can, and so will David."

"I think you're right," I said. "Lexy isn't in the car?"

"No," Pietro answered. "We dropped her off at her friend's house before we came here to pick you up."

"Cool," I answered.

Once back at Pietro's house, Bryan and Amy made sure that we were settled. They also made sure that we knew to keep the house clean and in order. Once that was finished, we all shared hugs, then they were out the door and pulling out of the driveway. Pietro made sure the door was locked, then he took me in his arms.

"It feels so good to be here with you," I said melting into his embrace. "Your arms feel so nice around me. I could stay with you like this all day!"

In response, Pietro kissed my cheek, then pressed his lips to mine. We shared several deep and tender kisses, then he took me by the hand. We went into our room where he had me sit down on the bed. He then helped me off with my shoes and socks. After that, he went in to the restroom where he started running water in the bathtub. I waited to see if he was going to start the shower, but he kept the water running.

He then returned to the bedroom, and when he sat down on the bed, I reached out and felt his smooth skin. He was shirtless, then he stood and moved my hands down to his boxers.

"Wow, so you undressed partially in the restroom?" I asked.

One tap.

"Cool," I answered.

I helped my lover off with his boxers, then placed them on the floor by my shoes and socks. Pietro then took hold of my hand, pulling up slightly. I stood, and he began slowly undressing me. After I stepped out of my boxers, I moved close to him feeling our naked bodies make contact.

"I've wanted to feel my skin against yours for a while now!" I said as we wrapped our arms around one another and began kissing passionately!

After breaking the kiss, Pietro took my hand and pulled gently towards the direction of the restroom. I followed him, then we stopped next to the bathtub. He checked the water, then shut it off. He then typed on his device then let it speak.

"This is the beginning of your surprise," he said. "Check the water for yourself in case it's not to your liking."

I did so, and felt how nice and warm it was. I smiled at my lover.

"This was really sweet, thanks!" I replied. "The water's perfect!"

I got in, then Pietro carefully stepped into the tub. He lay down beside me in the water, once letting go of the handle bars on the sides of the inside of the tub. We snuggled, and I relaxed my body, feeling the tension of the day melt away totally! Pietro gently took me in his arms and I truly felt like I was in Heaven!

"Oh, this feels so good!" I said turning to the love of my life. I pressed my lips to his, and we kissed even more passionately at that moment! "I really love being here with you like this! The water feels so soothing, and your skin against mine is so lovely!"

Pietro moaned excitedly, then thrust his tongue deep into my mouth, and we rubbed our tongues together for what seemed like forever! I loved it so much, but then eventually we both had to come up for air!

"I love you so much, more than anything in this world Pietro!" I said, looking deeply into his eyes. "Being here with you in your arms is pure Heaven, and lying here in this warm bath makes it even better!"

He kissed my cheek, then looked just as deeply into my eyes. I could sense the true, deep and pure love he had for me in that moment, and I could feel my own love growing even more infinite and deep for him. I didn't think such a thing was possible, but I was experiencing it at that moment, and I told him all this. He smiled, then wrapped me tighter in his arms, then eased my head down on his chest.

We stayed there for what seemed like ages, and eventually the water began cooling. I shivered once noticing the coolness of the water. Pietro as if sensing what I was thinking sat up. He drew a question mark on my arm.

"Yeah, go ahead," I said.

He pulled the lever letting the water drain out of the tub. I stood, and Pietro began drying me off. I did the same to him, and we returned to our room where I got dressed in more comfortable clothes. Pietro did the same, then we cuddled on the couch in the living room while watching TV for a bit.

We mainly flipped around channels, then settled on some Made-For-TV movie that featured a lot of chasing, a woman screaming for her life and some guy screaming that she wasn't going to get away that easily.

"This is another good thing about being here with you," I said as I listened to the over-the-top aggressive dialogue from the male character. "I can even find pleasure in watching whatever the hell this mess is without wanting to give the TV an acid bath."

Pietro laughed hard, then hugged me.

"I'm glad you liked that," I went on.

"That was a good one-liner," Pietro typed. "Oh, and I just saw on the clock that it's a couple of minutes before 5:00 P.M. Would you like to eat around 6:00 P.M.? I know that's the time around which we usually eat, but since it's just the two of us here, I wasn't sure if you wanted to eat a little later."

"I'm good with our usual time," I answered. "How does that sound to you?"

"I'd like that as well," he said. "I do have to go into the kitchen for a moment. I have something I think you might like to try."

"Okay," I answered.

I sat there as the movie played through its climax. The woman was saved by whoever the second guy who found her was, and they began passionately kissing as if they were going to fuck right then and there with the dead or knocked out guy just inches away from them.

"You're missing the best part Pietro," I called out laughing.

"I'm sure trying," he typed back then laughed.

I laughed along with him, then I rested there, half-listening to the TV as well as focusing more of my attention towards what my lover was doing in the kitchen. I heard a bottle being sat down on the counter, then glasses being sat down as well. From the sound, they sounded like wine glasses. I heard the glasses being filled, then Pietro was placing the bottle and the glasses on a cart that he sometimes used when he and I would have drinks in the living room. He would put the cups or cans of pop on the small wheeled cart, then push it into the living room. This was far easier and ensured that nothing got spilled.

Now he was wheeling the cart into the living room, and got it set up beside the couch. Once seated, he put the glasses down on the coffee table, along with the bottle.

"This is for you," he said as he handed me a wine glass.

The drink smelled like apples, and I loved its aroma.

"Thank you," I answered, then we toasted.

"To us, and our love growing even more deep," Pietro typed as we touched glasses.

"Also, to us always being together, forever," I added.

We both drank, and the apple cider was really good and flavorful.

"This is really amazing!" I said, then we kissed deeply after we both sat our glasses down on the coffee table.

"I'm really glad you like it," Pietro answered. "It's obviously non-alcoholic."

"I'm glad it is," I replied.

"There's more in the fridge if we get through this bottle and want more," Pietro said.

"That sounds good," I answered. "Thanks."

"You're welcome," he said. "Anything for the love of my life."

He then took my face gently in his hands and pressed his lips to mine. I kissed back, then we snuggled as the TV played softly in the background. I could have stayed like that with him forever.

Eventually though, he moved to check the clock. It was almost 5:30 P.M., and I sat up with him now.

"It's probably time to get the food started," I said.

"I think so too," Pietro answered. "I'll go in and get started on it."

"Okay, I'll be in there to help in a moment," I said.

"Thanks, but I got everything under control," Pietro said, then put his device off to the side, hugging me gently. He kissed me tenderly, then rested his forehead against mine then moved back and typed again. "This night is for you to just enjoy. I want you to sit back, relax and just let me take care of you all night long. You deserve it, and that's also part of my surprise for you."

"You're so sweet," I said smiling. "Okay, I'll sit back and relax. That sounds really amazing!"

We kissed again, then Pietro went in to get started on the food. I leaned back against the back of the couch feeling so safe, content and loved at that moment!
