Chapter 33
Bradley with the able assistance of Callum produced a marvellous chicken casserole with Mediterranean rice and three veg. Somehow they managed to squeeze nine people in around the dining table and all of them had a good meal together. When Bradley offered to serve coffees in the lounge Rose would not hear of it, insisting that Bradley had done enough.
"Can I do it then?" David asked.
"I'll help him." Alexander offered and seeing the pleading look in David's eyes, Rose couldn't do anything but agree.
Once they were all sitting in the lounge waiting for their drinks to come through, John said, "Derwent, this has been a trying time for us so who knows how hard it's been for you. I want you to know that we will not be talking about this to anyone else except officials that might demand it of us. Also, if we can help in any way just call and we'll be there."
"And the same goes for Angela, Bradley and myself." Colin added.
"You people are so kind; thank you. Just being friendly with us after what has happened is helping so much; you've no idea. They've got Susan in a hospital for assessment and will hold her there for several weeks while they decide what's to be done with her. David doesn't know it yet, but what might have set her off, I filed for divorce a couple of weeks ago. She was not happy." Derwent told them. "I just couldn't let her keep on treating David the way she was. I've been gathering the information for a while and used that as grounds to request custody of David. I think today's little show will force the judge to look more positively on my claim."
"I'd be very surprised if he or she didn't." Angela said.
They then changed the topic of the conversation as Alexander and David came in carrying the tray with mugs of coffee and glasses of juice on it. Shortly after they had finished drinking theirs' Derwent asked to be rude and allowed to leave before the cups got cold as he felt both he and David needed some time to talk together before they went to bed.
Once they had gone Angela said, "I know we don't know as much as others but what I know makes me feel very bad for those two. I think we must give them all the support we can and they must be included in our monthly get-togethers."
"Alexander and David were friends before all this really started and even then Alexander told us some things that poor boy was being subjected to. I rather think he's going to need some counselling to help him work through it." John said.
"What does counselling do?" Alexander asked.
"It helps you to understand what has happened and how it's not your fault and how to cope with the memories and feelings. Remember, David is probably not going to see his mother again, at least until he is an adult. Even though she's been mean to him, she's still his mother. Think how you would be if you couldn't see your mother again." John explained to Alexander.
Alexander didn't make a sound as the reality of what John had said sunk in. Then he felt very sorry for David. Bradley picked up on this straight away and pulled Alexander closer to him, holding him tightly with the arm that had been around his shoulders. Angela and Rose's hearts did little `aww's' as they saw this and both thought it was so sweet.
Later on when Bradley and Alexander were lying beside each other, naked, in the darkness of the room, Alexander said, "I don't think I'd like it. You know, to not see my mother ever again."
"Yeah, that's going to be very hard on him. Even though she's been mean to him. I guess at first he'll be okay because of the relief of knowing she's not going to be punishing him for something that everyone else gets away with, but he'll get used to that and then he'll start to miss her."
"And I'll be there to be his friend." Alexander said.
"We'll both be there, and I'm sure Cal, Dom and Ben will be too. Remember we can't tell Ben and Dom any of the details. That will have to be left for David to share if he wants to."
"Brad, can you hold me please?" Alexander asked after they had fallen silent for a few moments.
"Sure. All night if you want that. Do you want more than just being held; or has today been too stressful for any of that?" Bradley responded.
"I need a bit more, but not just yet. Please just hold me. Can you spoon me?"
"I'd like to. I like to have you touching me all the way down our bodies. But I'd like a kiss first, please." Bradley said.
The two boys shared a tongue touching kiss for a short while and then Alexander rolled onto his side with his back to Bradley who quickly moving in close pressing his chest against Alexander's back and nestling his groin into the gap where Alexander's legs joined his torso. Bradley was hard and he slid his cock between Alexander's legs feeling the tip push Alexander's scrotum out of the way. Alexander `mmm'ed his approval and Bradley rested his higher arm over Alexander's side with his hand gently holding Alexander's tummy. They lay in silence for a while before Bradley realised that Alexander had dropped off to sleep without saying good night. He whispered his own good night to Alexander and went to sleep himself. He knew that their love-making in the morning would be so much better; that the wait would be worth it.
