I woke up early and wrapped Wally in my arms. He adjusted for me and I whispered in his ear "just stay put and cuddle with me babe." He went back to sleep soon and I gently caressed his face and chest. I have always wanted to have a very hairy man in my life and my wish has come true. Wally has a wonderful beard, hairy chest, stomach, crotch and legs. His shoulders, back and ass are layered in hair. My God, the man in my arms is mine, and I'm so happy.
I reflected on the past 24 hours and couldn't believe what all happened. My dream for Ronny came true, Alex and Ronny are falling for each other, my man is becoming philosophical on me teaching me about my circle of influence and I am more in love with Wally each passing day.
I left him sleep until 7:00 am and said "sweetheart it's 7:00 am. Can I fix you some coffee?" He said "yes please. Come back and we can grab a shower together."
I went to the bathroom, put on a pair of shorts and went to the kitchen to brew some coffee. I was surprised to see Alex in the kitchen already taking care of the coffee. I said "great minds think alike I see." He smiled at me and said "good morning. I figured we will all need some coffee this morning." He and I chatted for a while and I said "I'm going to go take a shower with Wally now." Alex replied "I'm going to see if I can wake up my stud and see if he will join me in a shower as well."
All four of us entered back into the living area around 30 minutes later. Each of us grabbed a cup of coffee and went to the patio. Chit chat centered around activities for the day. Wally said "I hate to exit, but I need to get going. Anyone up for karaoke tonight?" Ronny grinned and said "hell yeah, that sounds like a great time!" Alex and I agreed and Wally headed for the door. I poured him a mug of coffee to go, kissed him and said "have a good day my love. I'll see you later this afternoon."
I brewed another pot of coffee and rejoined Alex and Ronny on the patio. Alex said "last night was very nice. Tonight, will be good too. We'll get Ronny on stage with us to see how he does at karaoke." I already knew Ronny gets into karaoke singing and said "Alex, Ronny will blow your socks off tonight. You've got some competition tonight to defend your championship from last Thursday." Alex finished his coffee and said "I need to get moving too. Take care CJ and get some pool time in today with my man." I said "we will Alex. I'll bring you some drinks down as well for happy hour."
Alex went to the door and Ronny followed. A long embrace ensued and Alex said "bye sweetheart, I'll see you later today." Ronny replied "sounds good sexy. I'll model a speedo for you." Alex cracked up and said "it's a deal. Looking forward to seeing you in one."
Ronny came back to the patio and grabbed our coffee cups. He went into the kitchen and poured us each a cup of coffee. As he returned to the patio he said "yo chief! What's on our plans for today?" I said "I have some ideas but is there anything you want to do?"
Ronny thought for a few minutes and said "yes, I do have a couple of items I'd like to do today." I said "okay stud, get them out on the table!" Ronny took a sip of coffee and said "First, I'd like to go to that men's apparel store you mentioned. I only have the blue suit which still looks presentable. I need to refresh my wardrobe. Second, I'd like to take my blue suit to a dry cleaner so it's ready for me when I get back down here. Third, I'd like to find a gift for Alex. I'm not sure what I have in mind for him so I welcome any suggestions you might have? Fourth, enjoy some pool time and happy hour today. I need to chill out after yesterday."
I said "that all sounds good Ronny, and we certainly can accomplish it today. I'll think about some ideas for Alex, but right now I'm drawing a blank." Both of us had finished our coffee and I asked him "do you want another cup?" He nodded yes and I went to get two more cups for us.
I returned to the patio and sat the coffee cups down. I said "how about we start our day with some breakfast after we finish our coffee?" Ronny said "that sounds wonderful, can we go to the same place? I enjoyed my omelet the other day." I said "yes, that is what I was thinking. We'll drop your suit off at the cleaners close to the diner."
I asked Ronny if he thought about his return trip to Indiana followed by his drive back to Tampa? He said "yes, I have been thinking about it. Mom asked me to stay until July 4th if I could to enjoy a family picnic she is planning. I'd like to see the entire family before I leave Indiana. Before the 4th, I will pack up what I need to bring down in my truck and start the journey to Tampa on July 5th." I replied "that all seems reasonable. I hate to see you drive all that way by yourself though. I had UD with me and it made the drive much more enjoyable." Ronny said "well, that is one idea I'm thinking of for Alex's gift. It's not much of a gift, but I was thinking about buying him an airline ticket for July 5th and meet him in Indianapolis or Louisville. He can join me on the return journey and we can take a few days to enjoy ourselves. What do you think about that idea?" I smiled and said "I think that is a great idea, and I can see Alex jumping at it. I know he won't be able to take off all next week on this short notice, but the following week should be good for him. I'd run it by him today before you go purchasing anything for him." Ronny said "okay, I'll ask him today and if he agrees we'll purchase the ticket before I leave."
I chimed back in and said "I have one other gift idea if you want to hear it?" Ronny said "yes, I'm all ears CJ." I said "I've noticed Alex wearing bead bracelets when he works. They don't have to be expensive, but how about we find you a pair of bracelets and you give him one and you wear one. You can make it romantic for him saying look at this everyday while I'm gone, and we'll soon be reunited in our love." Ronny said "I love it it's a perfect touch. Let's find someplace today either for bead bracelets or perhaps a pair of sterling bracelets which are not too expensive. Thanks CJ -- I can see him tearing up already at that gesture."
We finished our coffee and got our needed items for the trip today. I pulled the jeep out of the complex and headed for the cleaners first. Ronny ran in and came back out. His suit will be ready for pickup on Saturday. We then went to the diner for our breakfast. After we ate, we went to the men's apparel store to begin Ronny's work wardrobe.
I entered the parking lot as the store was just opening up. We went in and the tailor who assisted me said "good morning, CJ. Are you back for some more wardrobe selections?" I said "I'm going to look around but I brought my friend Ronny Bradford to you this morning. Ronny accepted a job yesterday at the same television station I will be working at. He is going to be the sports anchor and is in need of a similar wardrobe as to what I started with you." Charlie, the clerks name, said "welcome Ronny and congratulations on your new job. I'm glad CJ brought you in today as we began our July 4th sale early." Ronny replied "it's nice to meet you Charlie, and I'm looking forward to getting my work wardrobe started with you."
Charlie began with measurements on Ronny and began pulling suits for him. Soon there were about 10 suits for Ronny to look at. I mentioned to Ronny "you may want neutral colors so you can use the jackets as sports jackets. Your blue jacket can go with either grey or tan slacks for a nice-looking combination."
Ronny tried on some suits and eventually ended up choosing four of them. Charlie suggested some shirts for each along with some ties. The ties were on a large price reduction for the July 4th sale, so I picked up some as well. Ronny also picked up a couple pairs of slacks along with a lightweight linen sports jacket.
Charlie marked up all the suits with Ronny's measurements. I asked Ronny "do you have money for this because I'll be happy to help out and you can pay me back?" Ronny smiled and said "thanks CJ, I am good. I've been saving up money knowing I'd need a new wardrobe sometime in the near future. I was planning for a midwestern look, but I'm good with a Floridian flare!"
Charlie totaled everything up and gave Ronny a new customer discount on top of the July 4th reductions. Ronny was very pleased. Charlie said "unfortunately our seamstress is on vacation until July 5th. How does July 8th sound for a pickup date?" Ronny smiled and said "that is perfect Charlie. I'm returning home this weekend to pack up items I need and I'll be returning to Tampa starting on July 5th." Charlie said "how does paying half the bill today and then the remainder on the 8th sound when you pick everything up?" Ronny agreed and Charlie rang up the sale. He gave Ronny all the alteration tickets and the sale bills. We went ahead and took the ties and Charlie said "leave the shirts and I'll have those cleaned and pressed for you as well." Between Ronny and I we purchased 15 ties. I envision us trading them often.
We exited the store and Ronny said "thanks CJ, I feel better getting that started today. It makes no sense for me to select suits in Indiana and pack them up with me when I return to Tampa." I said "I agree Ronny, and you got some excellent deals today." He said "yes, I'm pleased with everything."
Ronny said "okay, how does this sound? I was thinking about purchasing a sterling bracelet for myself anyway. I saw one at Kohl's in Indianapolis which I liked. Can we locate a store here and see if they have it? I'll get two for my surprise to Alex. I searched for the nearest store and found it was only 15 minutes away. I headed there and we went into the store. Ronny headed for the jewelry counter first. He looked at the selections and said "there it is CJ, what do you think of it?" I said "it looks great Ronny. Alex is going to love it." Ronny asked for two and paid for the purchase. He then said "while I am here, I really need a pair of black and brown shoes. My pairs at home are ready to be re-souled and look like crap." We headed for shoes and soon he had his choices made including a new pair of flip flops and sandals. He paid for his shoes and everything was bagged up for him.
We got into the jeep and it was not even noon yet. I said "how does this sound to you? Let's go walk on the beach for a while and grab a beer? We'll head back to the condo and get happy hour started then. I want to show you where you can access the beach and we'll do some stud watching!" Ronny cracked up and said "sounds good CJ, take us to the gulf."
Ronny and I spent some time at the beach and had a beer. We decided to stop at the deli and mix up another case of beer as neither of us could remember what supply we had left. We left the beach, got beer at the deli and were back at the condo by 1:00 pm. Ronny said "pool time and happy hour now?" I smiled and said "you read my mind. Are you wearing white or black for Alex today?" Ronny grinned and said "white. I think he will be very pleased when he sees it on me."
I opted to change my red one as it probably needed a wash. I went with a red, white and blue multi-colored one. It showed off my package just as well as my red one. I went out to the kitchen and put nine beers in the bucket. I filled it with ice and soon Ronny and I were off to the pool.
Alex was quick to see us and came out when we sat down at the table. He came over and said "how are you both doing and did you have a productive trip this morning?" Ronny said "very productive! I can't wait to show you all of my wardrobe purchases. The suits will be ready for me on July 8th." I pulled off my shorts and started applying lotion and Ronny followed my lead. Alex got a big smile on his face as he saw the white speedo on Ronny. He spoke up and said "yummy, looks good you sexy hunk!" Ronny got up, gave him a kiss and then jumped in the pool. Alex looked at me and said "I have a few small things to finish up. I'll be back with you two in a half hour or less." I replied "sounds good Alex, get back to us as soon as you can and we'll start the Thursday happy hour!"
I jumped in the pool as well. Ronny and I did some laps and generally goofed around. He and I chatted about various things and I said "when are you going to talk to Alex about the ticket and do you want me to leave when you do that?" Ronny said "no need for you to leave. I think he will be fine with the conversation in front of you. If you will please chime in about how nice it was to have UD with you on the trip." I said "I will do that my friend. When do you plan to give him the bracelet?" Ronny said "I was going to wait until Sunday at the airport unless you have another suggestion?" I pondered and said "what about tonight after karaoke? You two take a walk on the beach and give it to him then? I'll keep Wally occupied with another beer after the contest is over." Ronny smiled and said "that sounds even better as I didn't really want to wait until Sunday for the exchange."
Alex returned with more ice in case the bucket ice was melting too quickly. He poured out the excess water and filled the bucket with fresh ice. He started applying lotion as well and pulled his shorts off to reveal his white speedo also. Ronny cracked a big smile and said "did you plan this for me you big stud?" Alex said "sure did handsome" and jumped into the pool with us.
The three of us continued our conversation as we enjoyed the pool. Ronny said "I can't believe this is not more crowded. What's wrong with the tenants, don't they appreciate the pool?" Alex said "it's more crowded in the spring, fall and winter. A lot of the tenants have family visiting during this time of year and opt for the beach." Alex jumped out and grabbed three beers. He opened them and sat them at the pool edge. He then jumped back in and grabbed his beer. Alex said "cheers gents!" We all clanked our bottles together and took a swig of beer.
After we finished our beer, we all exited the pool and went to the table. I opened three more beers for us. Ronny looked at Alex and said "before I go doing something I want to run the idea by you to see if you're up for it?" Alex said "I'll be up for anything you have in mind sweetheart, what is it?" Ronny continued on saying "as you know I leave Sunday afternoon. My mom is planning a family get together on July 4th and asked if I can stay until the 4th to see the family before I leave. I'd love to have you fly back with me this Sunday, but I know between your work here and not disclosing my sexual orientation to my parents yet - I don't think that's an option for us. I'd like to buy you a one-way ticket to Indianapolis or Louisville on July 4th or July 5th. I'll meet up with you and then we'll drive back to Tampa together? Does this even interest you?" Alex reached over and grabbed Ronny's hand. He said "of course I'm interested and thank you for thinking of me. You're right I cannot leave this weekend due to no coverage for next week here at the complex. I can plan for the week after and get the coverage I need here. I'd love to drive back with you and we can split the driving, as well as break up the trip. We can begin our making love in all 50 states journey! I'm definitely up for it Ronny, let's book a ticket soon." Ronny said "sounds good and I'm so glad you'll be with me on the return trip." Ronny leaned over and gave Alex a big kiss. I did not even have to encourage Alex with my UD story!
We continued our conversation and soon cracked our third beer. About 20 minutes later my big guy appeared with five more beers and said "hey studs, I did not know if you needed a refill but I brought you each one more figuring you've already had several rounds?" Alex got up and said "let me get some fresh ice, I'll be right back." Wally leaned over and gave me a kiss. He asked "have you two enjoyed your day?" Ronny filled him in on the daily events and told him about Alex driving back to Tampa with him. Wally smiled and said "I think that is a smart idea Ronny, glad you thought of it." Ronny said "I feel bad that I've not come out to my parents though and can't go home with Alex on my arm." I looked at Ronny and said "I have not come out to UD and Aunt Sally either. Don't feel bad, just enjoy the new adventures with Alex. When we're both ready to have the conversations with our families, I pray they accept us and our choices positively." Ronny smiled and said "okay, you're right CJ. Cross that bridge when it comes, but enjoy each day to the fullest until the conversation happens." Wally chimed in and said "no matter what happens you two, we're building our own little family here. My hope is that everything continues to go well for all of us and that we'll always be here for each other." I said "well said my love" and raised my bottle for a toast.
Alex returned with more ice. We continued to converse and I said "boy those tacos are going to taste great tonight!" Everyone agreed and we decided to jump back into the pool. About 15 minutes later Alex once again jumped out and opened four more beers for us and placed them poolside. He's becoming quite the consummate happy-hour host!
It was about 4:30 pm and I said "Wally, what time should we head over to Mel's? He replied "let's do 6:00 tonight. I feel like it will be a big crowd tonight." Alex said "I'm going to close up my workshop, get a change of clothes and I'll be up to your place in a little while." I said "sounds good, I'm going to get a shower before we go." We all got out of the pool and Alex scurried off ahead of us." I told Ronny "Maybe you two can get the ticket purchased before we leave?" Ronny grinned and said "we'll see. I just never know what our shower time may lead too." Wally chuckled and said "you and me both Ronny!" My stud always surprises me in the shower." We all had a good laugh and headed to my condo.
Alex joined us and the showers began. Wally was horned up and we ended up in another one of our passionate steamy showers together. He bent down and began to eat my ass. He also alternated to sucking my dick as well. Before I knew it, he had me right where he wanted and was pummeling my ass with his big dick. We were both moaning and eventually reached our climax.
We cleaned up and exited the shower. As usual, we dried each other off and I saw the time was 5:45. I said "we'd better get a move on stud if you want us there by 6:00."
I went out to the living room before Wally. Alex and Ronny were at his laptop ordering Alex's ticket. I said "how does it look?" Ronny said "there is a direct flight from Tampa to Indianapolis on the morning of July 5th. It leaves Tampa at 5:00 am and lands at 7:15 am. We have booked that and I'll pick Alex up at the Indianapolis airport." I said "perfect, either Wally or I will get Alex to the Tampa airport on the morning of the 5th." Alex gave Ronny a big kiss and said "thanks for doing this for me. This will give us a few days together earlier than I was anticipating." Ronny said "yes, it's going to work out well. I'll plan some stops along the way so we can start your journey of the 50 states escapades!" Alex just giggled and blushed.
Wally entered the room and said "what's so funny and what did I miss?" I said "I'll tell you later." Before we left the condo I whispered to Ronny "do you have the bracelets?" He shook his head yes.
We got to Mel's and as Wally thought the crowd was already forming. We found a table for four and grabbed it. I told Ronny "The special tonight is grouper and shrimp tacos, but they have burgers and other items on the menu." Ronny replied "I've been thinking about these tacos since you told me about them so I'm going for an order of them."
We all ordered our beer and food at the same time. Wally said "add on an order of fries and fried pickles for the table please." The waitress said "I will do that, and I'll return with the beers in a few minutes." Ronny spoke up and said "I can tell by this atmosphere that this place gets rowdy on Thursday nights." Wally said "yes it can Ronny. It's always a good crowd and people relax totally. I think it's the hottest spot on St Pete Beach."
Our beers came and I said "gentleman, let's raise our glasses to a fun evening and hope we retain our table karaoke championship from last week. Cheers everyone!"
Our food came about 20 minutes later and we ordered another round of beer knowing the waitress was getting swamped. We all dug into the tacos, sides and Ronny was the first to speak. He said "oh man, these tacos are kick-ass! I don't think UD could replicate this plate with any catch from the Ohio River!" I said "I told UD about the tacos and beer selection earlier this week. He wants to come here when he and the family visits for tacos, beer and karaoke. I'd love to see him and Sally get up on stage and belt out a duet together." Ronny said "I could see that happening if we get enough beer in both of them!"
We finished up our food and a bus boy began clearing our dishes for us. The host got up on stage and said "Good Thursday evening everyone and welcome to another round of Mel's karaoke!" The crowd went nuts and the host continued on saying "we're going to crown another individual singer and duo or group performance tonight. I'll be distributing the song lists shortly. Pick those selections and get them registered at the DJ table as soon as you can. Have fun everyone!"
We got the song list and quickly we all picked a single but did not disclose our selection to each other. Alex and Ronny made a duo selection as well, and Wally pointed to one for me as well and I agreed with it. All of our selections were registered for the contest.
We got another round of beer and prepared for the contest. The host got back up on stage at 8:00. He started in by saying "we've got a full lineup for tonight. If you do not get in tonight, be sure to come back next week as we'll do another round of Mel's karaoke.
A group was first up and did a Queen classic. The crowd got into it and I could tell it was going to be another fun night. The next group was a duo singing a classic from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. Next, Wally was introduced and he performed a Bruce Springsteen classic. He was into the song tonight as he was dancing around the stage and giving the crowd members high fives. The crowd gave him a standing ovation. He exited the stage, returned to the table, did a mic drop and said "top that you studs!" We all cracked up and each gave him a fist bump.
A few more performers did their songs and the time came for Ronny to take the stage. He selected an Ed Sheeran song. His performance was great, and he had the crowd waving their arms in the air for most of the song. Again, the crowd gave him a standing ovation upon his conclusion. He came back and said to Wally "challenge accepted and met you grizzly!" I broke out in a huge laugh and said "that deserves another round of beer" which I ordered when the waitress came by.
Alex got called up next and impressed the crowd with a Phil Collins rock classic. Numerous people in the audience got their lighters out lit them for the majority of his performance. Again, the crowd rose to their feet and cheered Alex on. He returned to the table, took a swig of beer and said "sorry dudes, I'm not letting go of my crown to any of you tonight!" I ruffled Alex's hair and said "you are just becoming the beast of St Pete Beach. It's so good to see you enjoying yourself Alex." He said "I owe all of it to you CJ. Thank you for entering and influencing my life!"
A few more groups performed and then I was called up to the stage. The host introduced me and said "fresh off the boat from Ireland welcome CJ Niall Horan!" I grabbed the microphone and started in on my favorite tune from Niall. Like Wally, I was all over the stage and every time I sang the lyric "what's your name?" I held the mic out to the audience and the females all screamed their names. I finished up and like my table mates I also received a standing ovation. I got back to the table and said "it's a battle of our table I believe gents! Best of luck to each of us." A few more duos performed and the host said "this is our last group for tonight. Let's give a big welcome to Alex and Ronny with their version of a Lady A classic. They got up and went to the stage each taking a microphone. The music started and Alex went first with the initial chorus. They both chimed in with the melody, and Ronny finished up with the next chorus. Once again, the crowd was going nuts and singing along with them for most of the song. When they wrapped up, the gave each other a hug on stage and took a bow. The audience gave them a standing ovation and I think they may have nailed the duo or group performance tonight.
The host returned to the stage and said "thanks everyone for another great Thursday karaoke at Mel's. I'll be back soon with the announcement of our winners. Until then, remember to tip your waiters and bartenders."
Alex said "anyone want another beer?" Cheers went up from everyone at the table. He motioned to our waitress for another round and she acknowledged his request. Ronny said "guys this was so much fun. I can hardly wait for my return to Tampa and we do this again!" The waitress brought our beer and Alex said "to our future broadcasters! Once people recognize you in here as being television stars, we will not get any peace. Chicks will be hounding you for autographs and men will be jealous of your presence!" Ronny and I cracked up and joined in his toast.
The host got back on stage and said "okay it's time to announce our winners! Our judges reviewed all the entries tonight and came up with these two winners. Our individual winner tonight goes to CJ Niall Horan! CJ get up here and claim your prize!" I jumped on stage, shook the hosts hand and gave a bow to the audience. I returned to a round of high-fives awaiting me at the table.
The host got control of the audience and said "once again we have a duo winner tonight. Let's give a big hand for Alex and Ronny with their outstanding rendition of the Lady A classic! Alex, Ronny get up here and get your prize." Alex ran for the stage and took it in one leap versus going up the side stairs. Ronny was not quite as aggressive and joined Alex via the stairs. They shook the hosts hand, gave each other a hug and bowed to the audience with their arms around each other's shoulder.
Two weeks in a row and our table captured the top prize of $200. I'm so proud of my circle!
I gave Alex my winnings and said "okay big guy, you know what to do from last week. We'll pay the bill and the remainder goes to happy hour tomorrow night!" Alex replied "I gladly accept hosting tomorrow's happy hour event." He passed the money back to me and said "will you take care of this for me CJ? I want to take Ronny out to the beach for a few minutes." He gave me a wink and grabbed Ronny by the arm and lead him to the beach access exit.
Wally said "okay Dr. Frankenstein what's up? I said "sit back and finish the rest of your beer. We can probably finish their beer as well. Alex wanted some time on the beach with Ronny tonight, and Ronny has a surprise to give Alex on the beach. I set them both up to do this!" Wally just cracked up at me and said "you are so damn cute you stud. I'm going to take you home and make passionate love to you all night."
We continued our conversation and I asked the waitress for the bill. With the tip included it came to just over $100. So, tomorrow's happy hour had about $95 clear for proceeds. Wally and I finished our beers, and Wally took Ronny's to finish and I finished off Alex's beer.
About 30 minutes later, the twosome came back to the table. I noticed the bracelets on each of their wrists and Alex was smiling ear to ear.
I said to everyone "how about we go back to the condo?" Everyone at the table agreed. I handed Alex the remaining money and said "here's the proceeds for tomorrow's event." He smiled at me, winked and said "thanks big guy!"
We made it back to the condo and all of us entered. I asked "is anyone up for one more beer?" Wally said, I'm beat but you three go ahead." He gave me a kiss and said "I'll keep your side warm for you Niall." Ronny grabbed three beers and we went out to the patio.
We were discussing the evening and Alex said "two weeks in a row CJ! You think we can go for three?" I replied "I'm not sure Alex. I may not make it as my schedule changes next week and I'll need to be up around 2:00 am for my morning broadcasts. We'll see how it goes, but I know we will all eventually be back together at Mel's." Ronny said "my schedule may allow more flexibility and I'll be there with you my love each Thursday if you want?" Alex gave Ronny a kiss and said "sounds good as we have to defend our duo crown for our fan base!"
We ended up having one more beer each and watching the news. After the news was over, I turned in. I gave Ronny and Alex each a big hug. Ronny said "thanks for another great day. You sleep well and I'll talk to you in the morning." I said "night you two" and departed for the master bedroom to join my knight in shining armor.
