Ask Me 69 Maxieplus

Take off was chaotic. Little Conner cried and held onto his mummy. My kids screamed, it was a contest as to who yelled the loudest. I had already taken the shopping up to our bedroom and made sure Adams things weren't in my cupboards. As we soared into the air, I saw Bubby's face it was pressed tightly to the window and he was almost hyperventilating with joy.

Big guns slipped around my waist, and he nuzzled my neck.

"I'm tired."

"Have a sleep then Con."

"Will you sleep with me?"

"Not yet, I have to help Adam get the meals sorted."

"Jen and John are doing it."

"I'm hungry Con."

He moaned a bit, this flight will be a bit different to the last one he did to America, at least he will have his family's company this time.

"Give me an hour Con I got to help with the beds." I could see it was getting dark outside so the kids won't be able to see much and the mood will settle a bit.

"Go have a shower Con."

"No, I'll wait for you." He smiled, moaned again then deeply kissed me.

"Leave the children to us son," John said.

"Okay, thanks." He had put our meals on the table after feeding the kids. I had a headache trying to get everyone organized, and I welcomed the help. The little kids will all sleep together, Fran went in with Jenny so the two boys and Andy and Sam took the other salons. John Grant Marty and Ray kept their eyes on the kids. Adam and Rob took a small crew sleeping room upfront. Grant will tag with the three pilots so they can get a catnap, Fran sat with us at the table and kept smiling at me.

"Okay, what's up?"

"Well I don't know if I can say this or not, but I'm going to say it anyway."

"It's okay Fran, just let it out." Con smiled.

"Daryl said for a couple of poofs your both all right in his books." She started giggling.

I began laughing, it's exactly the way I thought he would be around us. So I guess it's up to us to make sure he doesn't think we are a couple of screaming queens.

"He doesn't mind?" Con said.

"Of course not, you will find that Daryl is one of the good guys. When you're his friend, you're his friend for life. Any trouble and he will be in the mix." I remembered the bags so got up to go get them that will give everyone something to do.

I passed around the shopping Fran ended up with heaps of lotions and potions same as Jen, the kids went ape shit over their latest wireless ear pods. I had an extra set because Grant knew Tan would be on board he also had got him extra stuff; he knows me so well. Little Con was now fast asleep and I slipped Andy a bag of flying essentials, some top of the range cosmetics for men a few packets of condoms and some lube. I laughed when he quickly closed the bag and looked at his gorgeous Sam blushing.

We were all droopy-eyed and kissed everybody goodnight, we told Ted he can come in with us but they were playing camping out, so he got our hugs as we left to go and make out. As it turned out Fran and Jenny looked after the kids and Ray and John took the salon. Con was horned up ready to go, there's something about flying that gets his engines started, and I was on to him immediately. He exhausted me and kissed me more than he usually does; because I counted them.

"Thank you for this Brent, it's so awesome having everybody on board, I know this flight will seem quicker now." I put my hand down under the bed and pulled out a bag then gave it to him.

"This is yours, it's an I love you present." His eyes lit up.

"What is it?"

"Look."

There was a large chocolate bar and a small replica of a Qantas plane, he was stoked. He wouldn't share his chocolate with me until I begged. We slept well and when I awoke the TV was on Con was wide-awake watching sky news, and chomping on the last of the chocolate.

"You'll get fat Con."

"I don't care Brenty."

So I pulled open the drawer and found three more bars.

"Here, I'm on a diet." He laughed and grabbed them to put in his drawer.

"Thank you."

"Your welcome."

"Knock knock." It was John at the door with coffee and toast. We had our breakfast in bed then Ted ran in and jumped on us. Little Con wasn't too far behind and he giggled as Con picked him up and put him in the bed with us.

"Did you sleep well, son?"

"Yes daddy it was good to go camping."

Little Con had instantly fallen asleep again, and Ted wanted a small cuddle.

"When are we going to get there dad, I'm exhausted." I allowed a slight giggle to myself.

"Soon baby, we have a stopover in Singapore to do first. granddad Ray is meeting uncle Bob and Daryl there?" Ray has the company credit cards so he has to be there when they buy the ships.

"Okay dad, I better go they want to play cards now."

"Want some money?"

"No dad we are playing for biscuits." He put his cheeky grin on. I know he's the best card player in the world.

"Okay, I will see you soon." I looked over and Con had gone back to sleep with little Con snuggled up next to him, so I quietly crept out of bed and headed for the bathroom.

I got that out of the way then went to get more coffee and to watch the game.

The flight was long and tiresome, Adam and Rob helped out with the kids for something to do, and one by one they sat in the cockpit with my boys. I didn't have to do anything because the kids made their kind of fun. They had heaps to do because I had bought them some games. When we turned around to refuel in Singapore, Shane sat at the table and went through the stock market stuff. I noticed it had been bumped up to a thousand each.

"Do you think he will grasp the basics, Shane?"

"Of course he will Brent, it's pretty easy, it's the shares that are tricky, one wrong move and he could lose the lot." He giggled to himself.

"Mr. Bubby, can you come over here and help me with something?"

Bubby put his game down and moved slowly over to the table with Shane and then stared at him with his big green eyes.

"Now I'm going to teach you how to play the stock market while we are away, so watch me carefully, okay?" Bubs eyes lit up, you would have thought it was Christmas.

"Now, here is your log in codes, don't lose them maybe you can memorize them or hide the passwords somewhere for safekeeping."

So it went on for the next two hours, he showed Bubby how to buy and sell shares. How to read the market, and he took him to various websites that deal with that sort of thing. He then ended up on the Australian stock exchange site. While he was doing all this Con Fran and I watched his face. He was concentrating as Shane sailed through the basics, Bubby nodded at each different page.

"I haven't the heart to tell him its only play money," Fran whispered to Con.

"Its real money Fran, all Brent's idea, it will keep Bubby occupied in the downtimes of the trip."

"Oh, then thank you Brent, I hope he doesn't lose it all for you." She smiled.

"It's the boy's money and I am confident he won't lose any of it, he will excel at the share market, as he does with everything else." I smiled back at her she nodded her head knowingly.

He surfed the stock exchange for the next hour and was writing down some codes as he went, I could see Shane was impressed because Bubs picked it up like he was born a natural broker.

Ted and Shaun had moved over and they stared as Bub whittled down his list and Shane checked each one. They are in awe of their mate I'm sure of it, and so was I.

"Okay Mr. Bubby, now these are good solid shares these other four you picked are new companies, do you want to take a chance on them?"

He looked at Shane like he had just killed his puppy,

but didn't say anything except nod.

"Okay, we buy them too. I trust you to make the right decisions Bub, but if you don't take a chance you don't get anywhere in this world." He laughed, Bubby knows what he's doing.

So he then showed him how to buy, the small printer was working overtime as he printed out hard copies for them all. He then handed them to Ted and Shaun. Ted handed his page to me, Shaun handed his to Andy who checked everything was all right.

"Now every morning and afternoon log on and see how your shares are doing, if you did right you should see your balances go up, you certainly don't want them to go down." Bubby looked at Fran and nearly burst out crying. He had handled it with so much interest, but now he wants to go back to being a little boy again, so he climbed up on his mum's lap and hid his face from the world, I think his tears of happiness were flowing.

We didn't want him to get embarrassed so we scattered throughout the plane. Ted Con and I ended up in the bedroom having a nap. Andy and Sam were in their room and Shaun was talking to Shane and Tom who I'm sure wanted a few minutes to themselves. I think Sam's going to relieve them after they have their "nap".

Landing at Heathrow will be a nightmare, lucky Grant had the security organized. We had to leave Adam Marty and Conner on the plane with Phil and Dave. We all got through customs and within an hour we were on the road to our hotel in a minibus.

Poor Con will be a while doing media and trying to get through the hundreds of screaming fans that somehow knew he was flying in today, thank you for that Adam.

There was a slight chill in the air when I opened the sliding doors to the balcony, memories came flooding back from our last trip here so I shook it off and closed the curtains.

Ted was making sure his mates had settled in and I unpacked our clothes hoping Con isn't having too much trouble.

I checked on the boys they were very happy to have a room on their own. Tom was beaming, methinks he's in love at long last.

Phil Tan and Dave came up the hallway as I was walking back so I followed them to their room, they told me Conner wasn't far behind them. Marty had called the meet and greet short citing his client was very tired after his long trip. We will have a day to ourselves before Con will be whisked off to rehearsal, sound checks, and lighting stuff.

Tan went to see Tom and Shane and I had a chance to talk to Phil and Dave while they settled in.

"He's good Brent really good, I can see a real improvement in him and of course he's like a son to us. He's become someone very special in our lives." He smiled.

"That's good, and you didn't even have to nappy train him." I chuckled.

Dave replied.

"He's more confident Brent, he does come to us when he has a problem and that's a good thing for him to do. We think he's about ready to find a real boyfriend because the sex questions are being asked." He also laughed.

I left them to it because the three young men arrived to help Tan settle in. I winked at Tom as I left once again to get back to my room. I poked my head into Fran's room Ted was there.

"Are you hungry baby?"

"A little dad, and tired too. When's dad getting here?"

"Very soon kiddo, want to come and look at the menu?"

"Okay see you soon Bub." He hugged his best mate and took my hand. I winked at Fran and once again started up the hallway.

We sat on the plush sofa, Ted turned the TV on and we went through the food menu. He settled on some fries and gravy with chicken wings. I ordered up big because I know Con will be hungry when he gets home and there's no telling how long room service takes.

When I got off the phone I noticed our son had gone to sleep so I threw a rug over him and opened the curtains again then sat at the table to look out over the London skyline. A half-hour later Con came through the door.

"Phew, I'm glad that's over with, god some people are nothing short of being downright crazy." He kissed me lots on my face and neck.

"That's the price you pay for being a famous face baby."

"I know but it does get old, where's Ted?"

"Under that rug on the sofa, I have ordered room service it won't be long, he can eat his later. I much rather he rests for a bit."

"Okay, so we have some time to ourselves?"

Knock knock on the door.

"Well obviously not now, your too slow Con." I laughed as I let the room service girl in. She gushed and immediately Con said.

"Who do I make it out to?" He grabbed a photo out of his backpack and signed it for the very gushy girl. She thanked him but also wanted a selfie, which she got.

"It's the way it is now baby no one wants a photo anymore just a selfie."

"Yep, and I bet it will be on Facebook by now." He chuckled.

We sat at the table and I dished up some food for us.

"Was the airport busy Con?"

"Yes, fans everywhere and in my face, Marty called a stop to it all halfway through. I think he was eager to ring Di." He smiled at me.

"Good, so he won't get upset when I find us a small flat to use for a few nights then." He stared at me then he must have remembered the other time we were here and blushed.

"That would be so cool baby, but we have Ted now he might cramp our style."

"He won't because his granddads will be with him, and his mates."

He woke up a half-hour later and wasn't interested in any of the food as yet. Con lifted him and took him to the big bed where he stripped his clothes off and dropped his jeans and top then crawled into bed with him. I cleaned up making sure I put Ted's dinner in the small fridge, then I joined them. It's the jet lag, we did everything possible to avoid it but sometimes it wins anyway.

We slept for the next eight hours, I think everyone else on our tour did the same. It was late but I was worried Ted hadn't eaten.

In the morning I went to relieve myself then put some coffee on, then I heard a thump and saw a small boy run out of our bedroom and flop on the sofa. The TV was going and if I wasn't looking at Big Ben and the city waking up out the window, I would have thought we were still at home.

My phone vibrated with a message. 'I can't hold them back much longer, is Teddy up?" It was from Fran.

I typed back. 'Bring it on.'

Then I heard them running up the hallway and a light tap on the door. Just as Fran and the two boys came in Con came out his left hand was down his underwear and again he was scratching his balls. Fran laughed Con went red and ducked back into the bedroom. I chuckled as Fran said and blushed again.

"I should have brought my camera, that's a photo I could sell for a bomb." She giggled. By this time the dining room chairs were placed closer together and Bubby was firing up the laptop.

"He's so excited to see how the shares are going Brent. Thank you for that, I am at my wit's end to keep him occupied nowadays. He only seems to like his footy and what he does for Andy, but this is a whole other level."

"Well I don't want him to have his nose stuck in a computer Fran, but this is probably the one thing he is going to love doing. That's why Shane said he should look in the morning before school then after school. I don't even check mine anymore, I let Ray do it."

"Well I will stick to the rules and make it part of his morning routine Brent, and hopefully when Daryl's home they can go off and do father and son stuff too."

"They will Fran, it's going to be a new lifestyle for you and Daryl I think." I felt good for them.

I poured her and Con a coffee, he came out again said sorry and sat at the table looking at the kids. They were saying things like, awesome, wow, ace the shares must have gone up.

"Have you made a million yet Bubs?" I asked.

"No Mr. Brent, but we did make three hundred dollars that's one hundred each."

"Good, Ted are you going to sell them, buy a house or keep them?"

The three of them stared at me like I had said a dirty word.

"Keep them then," I looked at Con, he smirked at me.

"I guess we have to make plans for the day. I need to get some breakfast into Ted he hasn't eaten since the plane. So I started looking in the fridge for at least some eggs.

"Leave that to me, Brent," John said as he came through the door with a couple of bags in hand, my lifesaver.

"I just went to the supermarket around the corner, we can cook breakfast here." He dumped the bags on the kitchenette counter then proceeded to rattle around for a frying pan and pots.

Breakfast was on the way, I helped make loads of toast and when the others arrived we had scrambled eggs piled up on three plates. Dave and Phil with Shane Tan and Tom were next. Shane looked at Bubby's shares and nodded a well done to him, then he shut it down and cleared the table. Tan and Tom put plates and cutlery out.

I noticed Con had found Ted's dinner and was picking at it.

"Why don't I warm that up for you Con," John said as he took the plate and shoved it in the microwave.

Conner went red again, I'm sure he's on a roll this morning.

"Have you heard from Ray, John?" We had dropped Ray off at Singapore so he could do the container thing with the boys.

"Not yet Brent but he will be busy I'll send him a message after breakfast."

The boys tucked into their toast and eggs while Con ate the wings and chips. I moved my hand over to his belly and pinched it, he ignored me.

"So what's everyone doing today? I thought I might go for a walk and see Westminster Abbey, and if I get the time we might go on that big wheel. Bubby got all excited and Ted looked at me.

"Okay sounds like a plan, count us in I'll get Grant to hire a people mover and organize VIP tickets. Where is he anyway."

"He stayed with Stan last night but won't be far away, his men patrolled the Hotel while we slept," Phil said.

"Good." I heard Ted whisper.

Fran looked sideways at me she had heard it too.

I wanted to talk to him about him not feeling safe over here, but his mates had different plans they wanted to watch some more foreign TV. I messaged Jen to see how far away she was and I got back one I didn't expect.

'Been up for ages just taking the views in.' I understand her excitement I felt it the first time I came here.

'Well breakfast is ready in our room'

John had put some aside for her and surprise surprise she was coming through the door within seconds. Conner was handed the baby and they talked baby talk for the next ten minutes while Jen planned her day. I told her what we were doing so she said she would tag along; all her plans were out the window for now, because she didn't know what to do first.

Grant did what I asked him to do he had hired a small bus for us all to get around in, so showers were next then off we go.

"When do you need to go in for the soundcheck Con?"

"Around four baby, so I have most of the day to spend with you."

"Good." We got him for the next seven hours then he's public property again. I made sure Ted was warm then slipped twenty pounds into his pocket, just in case money along with the money I also put our hotel address and my phone number on a note. This might make him feel less scared in a strange city.

When we arrived at Westminster Abbey we all piled out and were met by a tour guide who welcomed us, and then he started showing us the various tombs of famous people that are buried there. It wasn't long after we started looking when Shaun started, then Teddy joined in, but Bubby was fascinated. The two boys had realized they were virtually in a graveyard and got scared. We took them outside because their crying was a little loud. Bubby was angry with them because he wanted to go through and see it all. Con and I decided just to go for a walk with the boys, and see the area while the rest went through the old abbey. We had seen it before but it had been a rushed tour.

We walked over to a park and sat for a while just people watching, the boys had settled down considerably. We could see Big Ben better, then we viewed several statues. where loads of photos had to be taken.

Conner was explaining to Shaun and Ted who the people were like Gandhi, Winston Churchill and such, he was pretty knowledgeable my Conner. The boys had settled down and after two hours the rest of the troops joined us. Bubby and Fran were so excited and Jen, of course, was eager to get on with it.

We piled into the van and the driver did a tour for us, showing us several places of interest. When we got to Buckingham palace the boys were fascinated with the military guards out the front. Jen wanted to do the tour and it was a good idea in the end, so amazing and Con, of course, read everything he could. His fame had secured us a private tour of places the public can't go, so we were treated like VIP's. So much gold was splashed around on just about everything and when we got to the royal stables the boys went ape shit as horses were fed carrots and patted endlessly. A red-headed young man came by and said a few words to Conner who in turn introduced Prince Harry to everyone. He was just about to take a ride on his magnificent stallion so didn't linger but said he would see us all Thursday at the concert. Jen and Fran didn't say a thing they were just staring with mouths open in awe at the very handsome young prince.

"Shut your mouths girls otherwise you will catch some flies." I giggled.

Jen tried to talk but she quite didn't believe what had just happened. We spent more time than we planned, and I noticed yawning coming from the boys so we dropped Con off at the concert hall and got the kids home for a much needed afternoon nap.

As soon as Bubby got in the door he headed for the laptop, he was excited because they all had another twenty dollars in their accounts, then he crashed with the others in our bed. The girls and guys drifted off and that left John and me to babysit, which we did with a glass of wine on the balcony.

"Did you eventually hear from Ray?"

"Yes son, they will be here in a few days." He laughed.

"Good, I miss them and so do the girls."

We only had one glass before things started moving again, but I must admit we weren't in a drinking mood. Bubs was the first up so I walked him up to his room along with Shaun, and Ted sat on Johns lap to watch the London eye wheel go round. I needed ten minutes myself so took myself to bed thanking John for looking after Ted.

Con was late getting back, I had a much longer than planned nap. The note left by John was Teddy is staying the night with him, he doesn't want his grandpa to be lonely on his own.

"The meet and greets have started early baby, tonight was the crew and families wanting to meet me, the theatre owners and some press, but we got through it."

"Are you hungry Con?"

"Yes starving, they didn't provide any food because it was supposed only be a twenty-minute meet."

"Have a look at the menu baby, I'll call room service for you while you have a shower." I kissed his sweet lips.

"Just get me a pizza Brent it's quick and easy."

"Umm." I wasn't amused he should be eating healthy food, not greasy crap.

I heard the shower go on then I ordered a salad and small steak and potatoes for both of us, I felt guilty doing that so I added a piece of chocolate mud cake, we can share it.

When he had finished his shower he slipped on his shorts and he was drying his hair with a towel, I helped him out by licking the drops of water off his back, you know the hard to get to places.

"How is Teddy?"

"Okay now, he's in with John tonight. I think he's just watching him for Ray."

"He's still scared Brent, we will have to get Mary onto it when we get home, I can't have him feeling like that all the time." 'Me neither', I said to myself. We ate the food, which was delicious, and then Con made some calls, then Daryl rang wanting to talk to me. He had found two excellent container ships at a great price and wanted to run it by me first. I told him to just buy them and get here as soon as possible with Bob and Ray. I heard a giggle in the background then let him know our first day went well.

"I have to put a stop to that Con."

"What baby?"

"People ringing me to get my approval on things I have no idea about. He should have just bought them I don't need to be involved."

"Yes boss, you will have to get onto that one day." He grinned.

I bought out the mud cake and his beautiful eyes lit up, and we enjoyed it together, but I suspect he got the bigger piece. I looked into his eyes tonight because I wanted him to make love to me and he did a perfect job of that too, he even sang a small tune for me as we drifted off to sleep.

In the morning we sorted out his clothes, or should I say Adam did because he had interviews starting at ten to around four in the afternoon. Then he had to go do some more rehearsals. He won't be with us today so we took our time saying goodbye. The people mover was waiting for us all and it took us to Kensington gardens so the boys could see the fairy tree and have a ride on the carousel in the park, then a ride on tour was organized after ice creams were devoured.

When we got back to the starting point the kids wanted another ride so we let them do one. Just as it started up three good looking men jumped onto it and surprised the boys with hugs and kissed. Ray Bob and Daryl had arrived and Grant had organized for them to be driven straight to where we were. Bubs couldn't contain his tears and let fly with full-on bawling. Daryl took him over to a park bench and they caught up until he settled down.

Con sent me a message to say he was bored with it all, and I answered telling him everyone was here but him.

He has to do this, his first concert is tomorrow night and he must be in tip-top condition. That doesn't rule out lovemaking tonight and maybe in the morning. I missed him but had a small surprise planned for him after the concert.

The guys caught up with us all when we got home, they had bought two container ships at very reasonable prices I thought. They will be delivered next month with a full cargo on board because they also organized a shipping agent. Daryl was excited about it all and couldn't wait to start planning the berthing and dispatch of goods.

He also let it slip he had already bought the ships when he rang me. It was a ruse so we would get a big surprise when they turned up expectantly. Bubby was also excited because they had made another hundred dollars during the day, Daryl was asking Fran what it was all about then he stared at me and said.

"Thank you." Then bowed his whole upper body, I think my gay status just went up a notch.

I smiled and didn't reply because it was all Shane's work anyway, all I did was finance some of it. Conner did the rest. I knew it would have been him who put the extra money in, he wouldn't be able to contain himself. He arrived home to a packed house around seven, the men collared him and started a small meeting at the table while the kids were bathed and dressed in their pajamas. Little Con was the exception he sat on Bob's knees and stared at him forever, I guess he missed him.

When they all left it was just us three, Ted's head was nodding and Conner wasn't far behind. No sex tonight just a wonderful catch-up sleep as our boy decided to sleep with us. We didn't mind, strange bed strange surroundings will do that sometimes.

I made some toast for him, he was full of beans this morning as the TV went on and he sat at the table to nut out today's program. John and Ray arrived and John started cracking eggs and making more toast, we did have a fully equipped kitchen so he was cooking for everybody, no one asked him to, he just did it automatically. Then the hoards started coming by.

Fran and Daryl had decided they wanted to have a picnic in the park and maybe walk through Kensington palace just the three of them. Andy and Sam will be off to a matinee show at the west end, that leaves the rest of us. I think I heard Dave or Phil say the three boys wanted to go on the London eye then do some shopping in Mayfair. I think maybe Harrods or some other upmarket stores are near that area.

Conner Marty and Adam were huddled on the balcony talking about tonight's concert, it will be a blast to see him on stage again, and an even better time tomorrow when he does the slow matinee one.

We will all be there for that one and tonight Teds going to have a sleepover with Bubs and Shaun while us adults go watch the opening show. The granddads will supervise that one and go see the concert in two days.

I will have Con to myself after tonight's performance, and I have already packed an overnight bag for us.

He had to be at the arena at four so he decided he would tag along and do the eye with us all. John had packed a big picnic basket for Fran and Daryl. I think he missed them and wanted to spend the day chilling with his family. I noticed a football was being placed in the backpack, that's what dads do for their sons, don't they?

The three boys were crowded around the laptop watching their shares rise, they slapped hands and called Shane over to have a look, one thousand dollars per head had been added to their total overnight.

"Looks like I got that one right Brent, its a goer do you want some?"

"No let the boys have it, I got enough." It was then that Ray opened his lap top then his share portfolio.

Con and I sat up the back with Rob and Adam, it was a pretty long drive to the Eye because the traffic was bad today. Grant organized the tickets and the kids were jumping up and down to get aboard. It was a great ride and many photos were taken. I noticed Tan was included when the boys had theirs taken with Phil and Dave.

"Do you want me to come with you Con?"

"That would be awesome, but I think you had better get Teddy settled before you go out."

"Okay, we will see you before you go on then."

"No, just find your seats and enjoy the show I'll find you."

He's up to something again, I can tell by the smirk on his face. It will be designed as a shock factor just for me, I'm sure of that.

"This will be interesting." I leered at Con.

"Very." He didn't elaborate but wiggled his hips seductively.

After our awesome ride, the boys wanted to go to the wax museum. It was on our way home and Grant again organized the tickets. Rick Conner's hadn't made it yet, there were no images of him but plenty of other stars were featured. Teddy ran around looking for his dad but was left disappointed in the end. He did have his photo taken with a few of them then he insisted he has one of him and his dad. Con put on his waxy look and Ted laughed through the many photos. They had so much fun posing as if they were statues, even I had to stand there with a blank look on my face.

I kissed him goodbye and wished him well as Adam shuffled him out the door. He will have a meet and greet some interviews and a rest before the eight-thirty start. We made sure the kids were fed and the three boys went over the road with Phil and Dave to have pizza. They were excited to go to the concert and I noticed all three changed clothes several times. They didn't get any shopping in today but were promised that tomorrow morning was just for shopping.
