Wally woke up first and we were still in the hammock. He gently woke me with a kiss and said "CJ, I'm going to go see what time it is. Are you cold baby? If you are let's go in and warm up in the bedroom." I looked around, heard the waves crashing and remembered that we ended up falling asleep after our second session of making love in the hammock. Wally said "it's after 3:00 am sweetheart. Let me take you into the bedroom." I acknowledged him and helped him gather up all of the remnants of our beach dinner. Both of us were naked as we headed for the bungalow.
After we both relieved ourselves, it did not take long for us to snuggle back up and resume our peaceful rest. Wally gripped me tight in his arms and I feel so at ease with no troubles on my mind.
A few hours later, Wally slipped away from me and started brewing a pot of coffee for us. I joined him in the kitchen, wrapped my arms around his mid-section and gave him a kiss on his shoulder. Wally eased back into me and said "there's my baby, how are you feeling? I didn't want to wake you up." I gave him several more kisses on his shoulder blades, and he turned to face me. We exchanged a proper good morning kiss and I said "I'm feeling wonderful Wally. It was such a beautiful evening with you and I feel so refreshed this morning." He planted a longer kiss on me and said "me to baby. I love our alone time together, there's just not enough words to describe the feelings you give me CJ. I love you sweetheart."
We decided to have our first cup of coffee out on the patio. Both of us were a little chilly, so we both put on a pair of shorts along with our hoodies. It's a good thing we were presentable, as several couples saw us having coffee and ventured to the patio for morning greetings.
Wally filled us up with a second cup of coffee, returned to the patio and said "Mama just opened her doors about ten minutes ago. How about one more cup of coffee, a morning shower and then enjoy a big breakfast at her place? We'll go out on the boat after breakfast." I took a sip of the coffee and said "that all sounds wonderful my love. By the looks of the sky, I think it's going to be another beautiful October day here in your slice of heaven." Wally chuckled and said "yes, the forecast is great today for a day of boating. It looks good for tomorrow also if you want to go out on the boat again. Or, we can just stay in bed all Sunday morning, ravaging each other! It's your choice CJ." I flashed my pearly white teeth at him and said "I choose both options for tomorrow!"
We took our time in the shower. So many kisses were exchanged, body parts explored and each of us took turns on giving a morning blowjob. For Wally, it did not end there. After I finished giving him a blowjob, he sat down on the shower bench and guided me towards him. I mounted his cock, relaxed and lost myself in the sensual pleasure that Wally was giving me. We both reached a climax and I put my forehead on his. I looked deep into his eyes, gave him a kiss and said "I may have to attack you later today on the boat stud. Once again you took me to my outer limits and back this morning. I love you so much Wally and I enjoy our special times together. Do you think Mama will smell the scent of morning sex on us?" He cracked up laughing and said "yeah, she will. However, she'll just smile at both of us, give us each a hug and think to herself my boys, I'm so happy for them."
Once we entered Mama's restaurant I heard her bellowing laugh from the kitchen counter. She yelled "there they are! I've been wondering if I'd see you two before the holidays." Wally's smile was beaming at her as he said "you know we can't go that long without seeing you. We're taking advantage of a nice weekend to get some boating and good breakfasts in us." She came around the breakfast counter and gave us each a hug. After the hugs she said "sit down wherever you want. Coffee, water and cranberry juice for each of you?" Both of us nodded our heads and headed for our special table.
Mama Bette had the television on and tuned into The Weather Channel. Jim Cantore was on and giving a tropics update. I heard him say "a late season depression has formed in the tropics and is still over one thousand miles away from the Leeward Islands. We'll keep an eye on it and see if it continues to make a westerly track towards the Caribbean." Wally heard his comments and said "uh oh babe, the week that Daniel leaves may become a busy week for you if the depression forms into a storm." I looked at him and replied with "yeah, just my luck. We'll be down by one person, but it may be a chance for Trev, Josh and myself to show our stuff to the bay area. Who knows, maybe this will be my chance to get some national exposure." Wally grinned at me and said "promise me you won't leave me if you get to meet Jim Cantore during the storm coverage? I know you have a secret fascination for him. You love that bald daddy look don't you stud?" I busted out in laughter and said "no daddy will ever take me away from you, my handsome stud."
Mama got to the table with our coffee, water and juice. She said "what's so funny here you two? Are you making fun of my skimpy outfit this morning?" I cracked up and said "no way Mama! My man here just asked me if I had a crush on the weatherman Jim Cantore. I told him no way that Jim or any other bald-headed man will ever take me away from him." Mama smiled and said "I don't know CJ, it's hard for me to resist any bald-headed man with a scruffy look. He's a hottie for me!" All of us cracked up and Mama pulled up a chair to sit with us for a few minutes.
She inquired if we have made any formal plans for the wedding. We both indicated no to her and she said "that's okay. UD, Jack and I have the menu all planned out. The three of us will take care of you two. I saw an ad for an island wedding look, and thought of you two. I still have it, and I'll make sure that you get it. The groom is in a tuxedo shirt, a black tie and floral longer shorts. I bet you two could pull off that look very well. What can I get you two for breakfast this morning?"
We each ordered a burrito and a piece of Mama B's breakfast casserole. As we were conversing over our coffee, Zeke and Jer walked in. Wally saw them and said "look what the cat dragged in!" Zeke broke out in a big smile, walked over to our table and said "hey there you two. What's this, you make a trip to Bradenton without telling me you're going to be in town?" Jer spoke up and said "hey CJ and Wally it's great to see you both. We're out for an early breakfast after a great night at the bar, followed by a wild night of love making. I don't think either one of us has slept a wink, but there's time for that after breakfast. Do you mind if we join you two?" I chimed in saying "not at all guys."
I could not help looking at both Jer and Zeke as they were wearing identical fishnet material tops and skimpy cut off shorts. Both of them looked so damned handsome and they look wonderful together as a couple. Zeke said "you two should have been at the karaoke contest last night. Jer is taking over for Toby, and he is drawing in larger audiences for us. His studly physique makes the ladies swoon and the guys horny in the crowd. It's been great for the bar attendance, and I cannot tell you how much I love going to bed with him after the shows. Next week will be his first week here in Bradenton, and I cannot wait until my stud muffin occupies my bed each night with me. I love him to death." After Zeke finished his comments, he leaned over and gave a big kiss to Jer who blushed in all of the flattery.
Mama B brought our food order to the table and said "Zeke, you and Jer are back to see me! It's wonderful to see you two this fine Saturday morning. Can I get you two your usual order?" Jer nodded yes to Zeke who replied to Mama B saying "yeah Mama, we'll take our usual. Please guys, eat up while your food is hot."
Our conversation flowed well as Wally and I ate our breakfasts. Mama B brought out Zeke and Jer's order, and soon the four of us were enjoying her delicious homemade cooking. Jer told us that he is taking next week off work, and will be moving his stuff down to Bradenton Beach. He's going to load up as much as he can after the Buccaneers game on Sunday afternoon and head back here on Monday morning. Zeke and him will do some more loads together during next week. It's amazing how quickly they have fallen for each other, and I hope everything works out for both of them. There I go again; I just want happiness for all of the people that cross my path in life.
We all finished up our delicious breakfast and settled in for another cup of coffee. Wally asked Zeke and Jer if they want to join us on the boat today, but they graciously declined saying they both needed sleep and have to get to the bar early to finish up some inventory. I'm glad they declined as I enjoy Wally and I on the boat together. It was fine to have UD and Jack with us, and I know at some point Ronny and Alex will join us on a trip. Until that time, I just like having my man and myself alone on the open waters.
Zeke finished up his cup of coffee, put his hand on Jer's leg and said "well baby, you ready to go get some sleep now? Of course, you know I'm going to wedge my cock in your ass while we're sleeping?" Jer blushed and said "yeah, I look forward to that sweetheart." Jer pulled out his wallet and fished out a one-hundred-dollar bill. Mama B came to the table and said "how do you want me to split this up today guys?" Jer smiled at her, handed her the money and said "I hope this is enough to cover everything Mama and leave a nice tip for you?" She looked at the bill and said "I'll be back with some change, Jer." Jer replied "not necessary Mama, you keep the rest as it was a good night at the bar last night. The music was loud, the crowd was rowdy, I received numerous tips and my ass is still sore from all of the squeezes I received from the audience." All of us cracked up laughing and Zeke said "he's right. I need to keep him in the fishnet shirts and skimpy shorts. The audience went nuts for his look. Now I get to go nuts on him again before we do it all over tonight again. I hope you two will make it over to the bar tonight?" Wally looked at me, nodded and I said "we'll be there Zeke to see Bradenton Beach's newest bar stud. You two should both wear the fishnet shirts and skimpy shorts. I think you'll both drive the crowd nuts, and keep those tips rolling in." Jer smiled and said "see Zeke, I told you that you look hot in that outfit as well. We'll wash these up quick while we grab a couple of hours of sleep."
Zeke and Jer made their departure, and Wally and I decided to have one more cup of coffee before heading to the boat. Mama B returned to the table and said "can I get you two anything else?" I smiled at her, pulled a twenty dollar bill out of my wallet and handed it to her. I said "I hope we covered everything this morning Mama B. If not, please let us know. Everything was wonderful, and I want to make sure you and your staff are taken care of." She smiled at me with her large white teeth and said "CJ, please take this back. Jer covered everything, and left a very nice tip already." I smiled and said "no you keep it Mama, you gave us an idea about our wedding attire today which we need to consider heavily. We thank you for all of the good food, the great hospitality and your friendship. You always make me feel at home when I come to your place." She gave each of us a hug and said "you two have a good day, and stop back in tomorrow if you are able to."
Wally took a drink of his coffee, smiled at me and said "you like the idea of tuxedo shirts with floral shorts?" I returned the smile and said "yeah, I do. I've been thinking about something different for the two of us. I don't like the idea of tuxes, unless you really want them. The best I came up with was colorful linen jackets with white pants and the same floral ties on each of us. Since it's a beach wedding, why not go ultra-casual and do something that no one will expect of us?" Wally grinned and said "it's different, I'll say that. We can even coordinate our shorts, the best men shorts and suggest to all of our group that they coordinate as well. The more I think about it CJ, the more I like it. We'll have to start looking at short possibilities. Maybe we can even look at longer shorts like the old JAMS from the 80's." I started to laugh and said "what the hell is a JAMS?" Wally just sighed and said "ah my young love, I have so much more to teach you!"
It was a short ride to the marina from Mama B's. We filled a cooler with bottles of water and ice tea before leaving the bungalow. All we need to do is fill the cooler with ice, and put gas into the boat. I'm excited to get back on the gulf for another fantastic day with the love of my life.
It did not take long for us to fill the cooler and add fuel to the boat. As we ventured to the mouth of the marina Wally said "let's reverse our trip today. We'll head down south first through Sarasota Bay. I want to show you St Armands Key, as well as Lido Key and its beaches. There are a couple of dive bars I want to take you to at North Lido Beach." I smiled at my man, gave him a kiss, stripped off my shirt and board shorts and said "I'm all yours today captain, and I'll go anywhere with you, my love."
All along our trip through Sarasota Bay, Wally was pointing out various sites to me. There was nothing spectacular, but just the way he is sharing his memories with me is very special. I can hardly wait until next summer when we both have time off together. I can see us now just boating together for two solid weeks enjoying the different areas of the beautiful gulf shores. I looked at him and said "baby, what do you want to do for our honeymoon? I've got several ideas, but I'd like to hear any ideas you have." He replied "CJ, I have not thought about that yet. I'd love to go anywhere with you baby." I smiled and said "well, can we agree that next year when your company goes on break, we'll spend two weeks just boating up and down the gulf coastline? I thoroughly enjoy this, and can see us spending two weeks together in boating bliss." He leaned into me, gave me a big kiss and said "deal, my love. I am absolutely in favor of that idea. But our wedding is June 7th, don't you want to take some time off then?" I replied "absolutely, we'll take the following week off if we both can afford the time. I'm not sure where I'd like to spend our honeymoon, but I have to admit I am a sucker for a beach or water setting." Wally flashed his big smile at me and said "me too CJ. I've always wanted to go to so many Caribbean islands, and I'd love it if we went together."
We continued talking about islands we have wanted to visit, and decided to look into four islands further. We agreed that the next rainy weekend day, we'd do some internet surfing to learn more about Aruba, Grand Cayman, St. Lucia and the Turks and Caicos.
The day flew by for us. We docked at North Lido beach and took a walk around the shops, bars and restaurants. Wally grabbed my hand, and we headed up a set of stairs between two buildings. Once we reached the top of the stairs, I looked around to see a rooftop tiki bar with a band playing some good music. He guided me to a barstool and we each took a seat. The band was playing "Don't stop believing" by Journey. I looked at him and said "oh yeah, my kind of place! How did you ever find this diamond in the rough?" Wally smiled at me and said "it's been an island stable here for years. The beer is cold, the drinks are awesome and they have a great appetizer plate for two. Do you mind if I order for us?"
For a Saturday afternoon, the bar had a good crowd and the music pleased the masses. The bartender returned with two raspberry daquiris and said "your appetizer plate will be out shortly. Let me know if I can get you anything else." He looked at me, smiled and said "and before you leave CJ, we need to get a photo of you for our celebrity wall, if you don't mind?" I cracked up and said "no problem, have you seen me on the news before, Curt?" Curt smiled and replied "oh yeah, we've seen you CJ. You've become quite the celebrity here in the gulf region. When are you going to afternoon and evening shifts where we can see more of you?" I smiled and said "actually, next week you'll be able to see me in the afternoon and evening." Curt said "cool, we'll have you on all the tv's around the bar then. Keep up the great work man, and mention Curt the daquiri dude if you can!"
Our appetizer plate arrived while the band played on. My man is right as it's probably the best appetizer combo I have ever tasted. I enjoyed the grouper nuggets the best, and I'd love to just sit here all afternoon sipping on daquiris and listening to kick-ass music. But as my man reminded me, we need to head back to the boat and make our way back to Bradenton Beach. I covered the bill, and gave Curt a very generous tip. As we left, Curt had Wally take several pictures of him and me. Curt then showed us the celebrity wall, and I was surprised to see a picture of Bailey and Aaron on the wall. I pointed the picture out to Wally and said to Curt "do you know Bailey and Aaron?" Curt cracked up and said "yeah, Bailey has been with us for years. He finally agreed to go up on the celebrity wall last month when he and Aaron visited us for a weekend. They had this bar rocking, and got everyone up on their feet dancing." I noticed the title below the picture indicating that Bailey is the general manager and Aaron is the sales director at the television station. Both Wally and I cracked up laughing, and I said "thanks for that bit of information Curt. We'll make sure the four of us visit you sometime." Curt smiled at both of us and replied "sounds great guys. You two take care, have a great rest of the weekend and free drinks for the four of you when you return." I had someone take a picture of Wally, Curt and myself and plan to share it with Bailey and Aaron before I leave this weekend. Wally also took a picture of me pointing towards the picture of Aaron and Bailey. This should make for some interesting stories from the two of them.
We launched off from North Lido Beach and enjoyed a two-hour ride back through the Sarasota Bay. It was just after 5:00 pm when we docked at Wally's marina. As we were tying the boat off, Wally asked "do you feel like boating again tomorrow babe? Breakfast at Mama's and perhaps an afternoon brunch at Anna Maria Island?" I smiled and said "that all sounds wonderful Wally. I just need to make my call at 4:00 tomorrow afternoon to my family. Do you know if any place out at Anna Maria has Wi-Fi and internet access?" Wally pulled out his phone and dialed a contact of his. His contact answered and he said "Denny, how the heck are you today, this is Wally." I smiled at Wally who proceeded to say "CJ and I are planning to come out and see you tomorrow, are you working and does the marina office have internet access and Wi-Fi?" Denny must have answered in the affirmative as Wally responded "perfect, we'll see you tomorrow afternoon stud. Be on the lookout for us."
Wally closed the call, pulled me in for a kiss and said "we're all set sweetheart. Denny is working all day tomorrow, and the marina office is fully stocked with internet access. You can make your call from there. Maybe you can pull Denny into the call and give UD a thrill!" I cracked up and said "we'll see. If the call was just UD, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I don't want to make him uncomfortable in front of Sally."
We tied off a few more ropes and I said "how about we just head to Zeke's place as we are? I think we should just go beach casual tonight, and maybe Zeke will have two more of those fishnet shirts that we can put on." Wally smiled at me and said "sound perfect babe. Let's head out."
It wasn't even 6:00 pm and Zeke's place was filled with customers. Luckily, there were some barstools still available. Wally grabbed two of them, while I went up on the stage and talked to Jer. Jer gave me the karaoke lineup for tonight, and several slips for song choices. I went back to Wally and said "feel like singing tonight?" He flashed his big smile at me and said "of course I do. Let's look for a duet to perform, while we enjoy another daquiri. I asked Zeke to mix us up some raspberry daquiris, is that okay for you?" I nodded my head yes, and we reviewed the song lineup available for tonight's show. Zeke brought us our daquiris and handed them to us. He was in his fishnet shirt, which matched Jer's shirt. I just smiled at him and said "looking good tonight, Zeke. I think those shirts and shorts should be the official uniform for you and Jer from now on." Zeke cracked up and said "he talked me into this outfit tonight. We're both free balling, and I've increased my tips trifold tonight. I love my hottie up there on stage and want to thank you both for getting me introduced to him. I can't wait until we're together every night. Please do me a favor though and keep an eye on Toby. He is head over heels in love with Fred, and I'm very happy for him. If he ever needs help and can't reach me, will you two assist him in whatever he needs?" Both Wally and I said "absolutely" at the same time. Zeke smiled and said "Thanks guys, you're both great friends. Let me know when you two want some food or a drink refill."
Jer had some classic rock playing prior to the contest. Everyone was clamoring over delicious food, tasty drinks and enjoying the atmosphere. Wally and I picked out a duet, but decided not to do any singles tonight. I'm not sure if it just wasn't a singing night for us or if this is a change in our preferences to do duets together moving forward. Either way, tonight's choice of "Need You Now" by Lady A will definitely have a spin put to it performed by two studly men.
Jer came around the crowd to collect song choices. When he got to us, he looked at our choice and said "oh man, I've got to get you two on stage for this rendition. Don't worry you two, even though we have a lot of people wanting to sing tonight, you two will be up there as I want to hear this song." I winked at Wally and said "follow me." I grabbed one of Jer's nipples and Wally grabbed the other nipple. We both twisted them and Wally said "thanks you hot ass stud. Wiggle those ass cheeks for us on stage tonight." Jer cracked up and replied "for you two, I'll do it. Talk to you both later."
I have to admit, Jer does a much better job working the crowd. Toby is sweet and innocent, and blends in with the crowd. Jer has an edge about him. He's a mysterious dude with a wild side, taking the audience by storm. It's fun to watch him in action and just as he said, he's getting a lot of ass slaps already from the crowd tonight. I cracked up, looked at Wally and said "so when does the name of this place change from Captain Zeke's to Captain Zeke's and Jer's?" Wally chuckled at me and said "he sure is a natural here, isn't he? I have never seen Zeke so happy as he is now. I sure do hope their new relationship continues to work well for both of them."
The contest started and the crowd was into it. Zeke kept our raspberry daquiris topped off and we eventually split an island appetizer plate. I got into the music and found myself singing along to most of the songs from my barstool. I know next week is going to be a busy week for me, but tonight I'm in a relaxed mode enjoying everything around me especially my soulmate.
We eventually left Zeke's around midnight. The contest was filled with too many good singers, and everyone had a great time. Even though we did not win the duet contest, Wally and I did an outstanding performance on our song. Once again, my man took the lead winding his way around the stage and getting the crowd into the song. For the closing, we came together in the center of the stage and gave each other a hug and kiss. The crowd loved it, and we loved doing it for them.
After we entered the bungalow, both of us stripped off our clothes and ran butt naked to the beach. The gulf was calm, and we enjoyed an early-morning swim followed by another passionate romp in the hammock. I'm really getting into this lifestyle and hope that Wally and I can always keep his Bradenton Beach slice of heaven in our lives.
My phone went off just after 7:00 am and I untangled myself from Wally's arms. I looked at the caller and saw that it was Bailey calling me. I answered the call by saying "whatever this is about, it better be good as Wally and I are having a three way with Curt the daquiri dude. He misses you and Aaron and wants to see you two soon." I've never heard Bailey laugh as loud as he did. I had to hold the phone away from my ear. Wally heard him and said "Jesus is he still drunk from a wild Saturday night?" Once Bailey calmed down, he responded with "Curt is a great person. Aaron and I had fun at his bar a few weeks ago. I've been going there for years as I enjoy his hole in the wall bar." I continued on and said "he wants to see the four of us soon, and will treat us to an afternoon of free drinks. Is everything okay there, and why are you calling me so early? You should be making love with that handsome man of yours!" Bailey snickered and said "we've already had our beautiful Sunday morning love making and Aaron is fixing us breakfast now."
Bailey continued on saying" I got a call from the network production manager yesterday asking me to make sure you are clear for this coming week in case the hurricane intensifies." I said "hurricane, yesterday morning it was just a depression." Bailey said "hey, just because you're enjoying mind blowing sex with your man this weekend, does not mean you can ignore the news! The storm intensified overnight and is now a cat 1 hurricane. It's still far out from the Caribbean, but the models are forecasting it to hit some of the Caribbean islands, the Florida Keys and then track into the gulf. This may be your national break stud. Trev and Josh are gathering all the data they can on the storm and models. They want to meet with you tomorrow to show you what they have learned." I smiled and said "okay, I still have one more day of pure enjoyment on the boat. We're heading back to the condo tonight, and I'll be in the station early tomorrow afternoon." Bailey said "sounds good CJ. Sorry for waking you, but it's just not right when I don't see or talk to you daily. Take care, and you two have a wonderful day."
I relieved my morning wood and then ventured to the kitchen to join Wally who made coffee for us. He looked at me and said "is everything okay, or should we head back to the condo this morning?" I took a sip of coffee, sat down by Wally and said "everything is fine. The network execs called Bailey yesterday wanting to make sure I'm free this week in case I'm needed to cover the hurricane. The storm intensified overnight and looks like it's heading into the Caribbean. It's on a possible course for the Florida Keys, and who knows from there. I may be doing a live report as early as tomorrow night from St Petersburg." Wally smiled, pulled me in for a kiss and said "my weather stud, covering his first hurricane. I'm so proud of you babe, and yet I'm worried about where they may send you." I replied "yeah, I know. I'm concerned as well not ever doing coverage of this nature before. I think I'll go call Jim Cantore now and ask his advice." Wally busted out laughing and said "before you make that call, let's go shower and I'll teach you how hard hurricane winds can blow you around."
Our shower was breathtaking. Instead of showing me how hard hurricane winds can blow me around, Wally was gentle, passionate and continues to take me on sexual journeys that I thoroughly enjoy. The shower ended far too quickly, but we both achieved another stunning climax setting us up for another gorgeous day. As we headed to Mama B's, I felt as though I was walking on clouds versus driving on island streets.
Mama's place was not busy at all. The TV was on and once again Jim Cantore was talking about the tropics. I heard him say "Hurricane Vince continues to make descent westerly progress. If it continues on its same path and speed, hurricane watches will start being posted on Monday. Stay tuned to The Weather Channel as we will continue to monitor Vince and how it may impact the southeastern United States."
Mama brought us our drinks and said "CJ, will you be covering the hurricane this week?" I replied "yeah Mama I will be. You can catch me on the afternoon and evening shows this week. You may even see me on the national news starting tomorrow night. I'll know more once I get to work tomorrow." She then turned to Wally and said "you call me if CJ makes the national news tomorrow night. I want to see him on the screen with David Muir. That is another man who can come visit me anytime he wants to!" Both Wally and I cracked up on her comments and she said "you want the usual, or something different this morning?" Wally looked at me and I gave him the nod. He responded to Mama saying "we'll take our usual Mama."
As we were drinking coffee, I asked Wally "should we start making preparations on the boat once we finish today?" He said "we'll lock everything up that we can, and secure it more than usual. If I know later in the week that the storm may come close to Bradenton Beach, I may head it up to St Pete Beach and get it dry docked with a friend that I know. I'll keep my eyes on the weather, and I know that you and I will stay in contact wherever you end up sweetheart." I gave him a big smile and said "I hope they don't send me out baby. I'd rather be with you getting the boat to safety." He smiled at me, put his hands on mine and said "everything, including you and I will be fine. If the storm does come into the gulf, we'll all seek safety wherever we need to. If you can give me a heads up on your national debut tomorrow, please do. I'll never hear the end of it if Mama misses out on your conversation with David Muir." I added "you'll have to let all of the gang know as well. You can have a watch party tomorrow night at the condo. My goodness, can you imagine how excited Jimmy will be if it happens tomorrow and he can see me on national television?" Wally smirked and said "we'll have to peel him off the ceiling. I can see him now starting up your fan club."
Breakfast tasted wonderful this morning and it was just what I needed to soak up any remaining daquiris in my system. We said our farewells to Mama B. She handed me the wedding advertisement and said "Anthony, remember to call me tomorrow about CJ's debut. If I have to find out on my own, there will be hell to pay!" Wally cracked up and replied "you'll have a call from me before 5:00 pm tomorrow, Mama. You take care and if you need any help with hurricane preparations, you give me a call."
A few minutes later, I pulled into the marina parking lot and we headed for the boat. I went about my chores for launch preparation, and Wally took the captain's seat to get us out of the marina. We fueled up and soon headed out for the open waters. Once we were clear of the marina, both of us stripped down to our speedos and prepared for another beautiful day on the gulf.
I stayed at the helm with Wally during our entire trip. He and I switched off on the steering duties. On my first steering turn, Wally snapped several pictures of me with the wind whipping through my hair. He looked at the pictures, smiled at me and said "a perfect adonis has been sent to me to fulfill my life. Do you know how handsome you are CJ, and how much you turn me on? You're everything I have ever dreamed of CJ, and I cannot believe how much more I fall in love with you each day of our journey together. I love you so much sweetheart." He grabbed me, and planted a sloppy wet kiss on me. Once we broke the kiss, I said to him "I love everything about you Wally, and I have to thank you for turning me on to boating. I enjoy each of our trips so much, and I envision us boating as much as we can in our life together. I'm falling in love with the bungalow, and can easily give up everything in St Petersburg to spend each day with you in your slice of heaven. You're my miracle man Wally, and I treasure the day we met and you knocked me off my feet." I returned another long, sloppy wet kiss to him as the boat speeds along the coastline.
I felt as though we have the whole Gulf of Mexico to ourselves today. I'm sure there are some boats out there someplace, but it's been a quiet morning with just us two enjoying another beautiful day together. Wally and I each received a text message and found that it was from Fred. We each checked our phones and smiles broke out on both of our faces. It was an embedded picture of Fred, Jimmy and Toby holding a baby gator from head to tail. They're at ZooTampa today and the caption of the picture said "having a great time here together, but missing you two. Jimmy says to get your fun in today since there is a hurricane coming this week. Love and miss you two, Fred." I turned to Wally and said "before you even say anything, I am Dr. Frankenstein, and I think that threesome is the most beautiful creation I've ever put together!" Wally leaned into me, gave me another kiss and said "I agree, Dr. Frankenstein. We still need to have our separate talks with them, and share notes on what we find out. I have a feeling that each of them has plenty of questions to ask us."
After about three hours on the water, we made a turn and headed for our destination of Anna Maria Island. It took us around 50 minutes to get back to the public docks there. As we slowed down entering the marina, I saw Denny waving his arms at us and running to the empty slips. He greeted us with a loud "hey guys, it's great to see you today! Did you bring me a surprise visit by Daddy Dean?" I cracked up and yelled back "unfortunately no Denny. You get just us two today." Denny helped us tie the boat off and once we were finished, he gave us each a big hug.
We walked up to the marina office with him and he said "guys, I have an idea for you today. If you're not thrilled with it, just let me know. I won a gift certificate to a restaurant here on the island. I thought maybe we can use it today and get the food delivered here for lunch. We can eat off the back deck of the office and enjoy the beautiful day. You two can stay in your speedos for the afternoon, and I'll even get us a bottle of wine if you want?" Wally smiled at me and I returned a smile to him. He looked at Denny and said "that sounds like a wonderful idea Denny. CJ and I will be happy to join you for lunch here today." Denny's smile was wider than I have ever seen it as he said "fantastic! It's a slow day here, and I thought it might be nice to just kick back here with you two. I've got a menu in the office for the restaurant that you two can look over and pick out what sounds good to you."
We selected our food and Denny placed the order. He was so excited about this and said "can I get you two some wine? I have water and ice tea in the office?" Wally smiled at him and said "sure some wine sounds good Denny. Are you picking up the food or is it being delivered?" He replied "I need to pick it up, and I can go now and get us some wine to enjoy with lunch?" Wally pulled a fifty-dollar bill out of his wallet and said "get us two nice bottles Denny. CJ and I prefer white wines, but if you enjoy red get yourself some." Denny smiled ear to ear and said "thanks guys. I cannot tell you how much your call meant to me yesterday, Wally. It's so great to see you both today. If you don't mind, please watch the office for a while, and I'll be back as soon as I can. CJ, you can make your call from the back deck. I've done several calls from there and have had perfect connection. I'll be back soon gents!"
Once Denny had cleared the office entrance, Wally looked at me and said "what the hell just happened here? Is he madly infatuated with us, or just a lonely kid who likes our company?" I cracked up at the question and said "I think the later sweetheart. He's starved for attention and will take it anywhere he can get it." Wally said "I've got a table cloth and some silverware on the boat. I'll go get it just in case Denny does not have any utensils here in the office."
The scenery from the back deck was a very nice setting, and we enjoyed a nice afternoon gulf breeze coming inland. Wally and I stayed in our speedos, and after Denny returned with everything, he ripped off his shirt and board shorts to reveal his red, white and blue striped speedo. Denny was surprised that we set the table, and Wally even brought three wine glasses for us to use.
Lunch was very nice and the food was delicious. Wally looked at me and said "Café AMI is one of the restaurants I want to take you CJ for a dinner. We'll still go sometime, but you got a nice sampling of their food today." Denny spoke up and said "it's my favorite restaurant on the island to eat at. I usually go there alone and sit at the bar when I want a good meal." I looked at Wally, smiled and said "okay Denny, what's a good-looking stud like you eating alone for? Spill everything to us, what are you looking for and how can we help you get fixed up?"
Denny took a sip of his wine, smiled and said "so many men, so little time!" Wally and I busted out laughing and Denny continued on with "I have to say that I'm attracted to older men than me. I absolutely loved the time I spent with Dean and Jack. They were so caring with me, and they fit the type of men I usually hook up with. Ideally, I'd like to find someone who is in their thirties and wants a younger guy on his leash. I like any color of hair, and I love a hairy body."
I took a sip of my wine and said "well, I'm sure that when Jack and UD return to the area, you will have future hookups. Until then, what are you doing to put yourself on the market? Do you get much action here at the marina?" Denny replied "I get a lot of flirtation and nice tips. I have had better luck at the restaurant where I work a second job. More men notice me there than here." Wally joined in saying "you need to hang out at Zeke's more on Friday and Saturday nights. The place was packed last night, and I know there was quite a bit of cruising going on. There were a number of men only tables and I bet you would have had several of them strike up conversations with you." Denny smiled and said "yeah, that's a good idea. I always make an excuse that I'm too tired to go out. I need to change that bad habit in my life."
Wally continued on and said "always be on the lookout my friend. It's going to happen for you when you least expect it. Keep looking for opportunities and take them when they present themselves. I met CJ in a parking lot, and if I had not gone up to him and struck up a conversation, who knows if we'd be a couple today. You're good looking, have a beautiful smile and an adorable personality. Go out there and find your man Denny. We'll get you up to St Pete Beach and introduce you to our clan. Perhaps through all of them and their connections we can help you find a Mr. Right for you."
We all took a drink of wine and Denny said "thanks guys, I needed this today. I'd love to come up some weekend to St Pete Beach and hang out with you and your friends. By any chance, do you two like to smoke cigars? Some guys left several on one of our rental boats this week, and I have them in the office." Wally smiled at me, and I smiled at him. Wally said "Denny, we both love to smoke a cigar. It's part of our usual Friday happy hour tradition, so go get them and let's enjoy them. I did not know you like to smoke them. Did you tell Dean and Jack that you're a cigar smoker?" Denny smiled and said "no I did not, are they smokers?" I chimed in and said "oh yeah, they both enjoy fine cigars. If they had known you enjoyed them, you three would have been smoking some huge ones when they were here in September."
Denny went into the office, retrieved the cigars along with an ashtray, cutter, lighter and another bottle of wine. He returned and said "some of the guys and I enjoy an evening cigar after closing up here. I'm glad that you two enjoy them as well. It's another thing the three of us have in common."
Soon we were all enjoying our wine along with a good Partagas cigar. I took a selfie of the three of us puffing away and sent it to UD with the caption "enjoying the afternoon at the marina. Wish you were here." It wasn't even five minutes later when my phone rang with UD on the caller ID. I answered saying "WOW, that response was quick. Did the picture excite you that much?" UD broke into his hearty laugh and said "yeah, I got an erection that only Denny can take care of for me!" I cracked up laughing and UD said "can you call me now on your laptop? I'm here alone, and I forgot to tell you it's just me on the call today." I smiled and said "yeah, let me get my laptop set up, and I'll call you back in a few minutes. Denny wants to say hi to you, and invite you as his date to our wedding." UD said "get your ass in gear and call me. Bye son."
I retrieved my laptop and set it up on the table. It was a great shot of the three of us shirtless, smoking cigars and enjoying a sunny afternoon. I waited for UD to join the call, and soon his smiling face appeared. He began by saying "Damnit! I wish I was there with the three of you today. My favorite setting -- handsome men, enjoying fine cigars and soaking up some sun. Denny, how the heck are you and why didn't you tell me you enjoy a cigar, or has my nephew corrupted you?" Denny smiled, took the cigar out of his mouth and said "nope Dean, I enjoy a cigar with friends. If I had known that you and Jack smoked them, I would have gotten some for all of us while you were here." UD smiled and replied "don't worry, you handsome stud, we'll all enjoy some together very soon."
UD informed us that Sally and the girls were out shopping. He said "CJ, Sally asked me to tell you that she will treat you to breakfast any day you can make it during her conference. She will call you during your break Monday night to confirm." I replied "that's fine UD, I'll catch up with her Monday night. Before I forget, I may be on the national news as early as tomorrow night covering the developing hurricane. I'll text you if it happens tomorrow. I'm also on the late afternoon and evening shifts this week covering for Daniel." UD smiled and said "okay CJ, I'll let everyone know. Tell David Muir you want his job if you do talk to him tomorrow night." We all had a great laugh on that, and our conversation continued on.
Before any of us knew it, the call had gone on for an hour. It was so enjoyable to talk to UD only, and I know it lifted Denny's spirits today. UD had to end the call and said "hey guys, thank you for the wonderful call today. I needed this, and it's so good to see the three of you together. Denny, have CJ and Wally fill you in on my personal life. If I am alone at their wedding next June, I want you to be my date." Denny gave UD a big smile and said "sure Dean, I'll do anything for you Daddy. Will Jack be here?" Dean smiled and said "Denny, everything is complicated in my life here now. There are some days when I want to say the hell with everything here, and join you three. This call has uplifted me so much, and I want each of you to know you have given me an extra bit of energy to make it through next week. Bless you all, and take care of yourself. Bye you three."
Wally and I explained what is going on with UD to Denny. I added "if I know UD, he may be keeping his visits with Jack at a minimum now to avoid any complications in his divorce from Sally." Denny took a final drink of his wine and said "gosh, I wish I could visit him now and help him in anyway possible. He's such a nice guy, and I hate to see him going through turmoil." Wally smiled and said "like UD said, the call did more for him than you will know Denny. I'm so happy that the three of us were together today to help brighten his day."
After we finished our afternoon break with Denny, Wally looked at me and said "sweetheart, I hate to break up this great time we've had, but we should think about getting back. It's going to be a busy week for you, and we should start heading the boat back to Bradenton Beach." I gave Wally a pouty face and replied "okay, I think you're right. Denny, we thank you for a beautiful afternoon. Please look at your schedule coming up, and when you can come up and stay with us in St Pete Beach. You're always welcome, and hang in there! Like Wally said earlier today, love will find you when you least expect it."
Wally and I gathered our belongings and Denny walked us down to the boat. We said our farewells, and I don't think he wanted to let go of us. Denny hugged me just as tight as Wally does. He gave us each a big bear hug, along with a very sweet kiss. As he was tossing us the last rope from the dock, he said "thanks you two for a beautiful day. I'll be in touch, and let's plan on doing another special afternoon again soon." He continued to wave as we exited the marina. Wally increased the speed when he was able to, and soon we were out of Denny's sight.
As Wally was steering, I put my arm around his shoulder. I lifted his chin with a finger and planted a kiss on his lips. After the kiss, I said "I love you so much Wally. It's been a beautiful weekend and I look forward to so many more beautiful weekends with you. Do you have any workers at your company that may be a match for Denny?" Wally smiled and said "none that I can think of. I think he will be okay CJ. After hearing him today, I know he wants to find someone. When he least expects it, Mr. Right will come along for him. Don't worry about him CJ. He's a Bradenton Beach guy, and we always land on our feet with positive results."
We made it back to Wally's marina just after 4:30 pm. We secured everything we can on the boat, and Wally brought a few treasured items to the jeep, just in case Hurricane Vince rears his ugly face in this area. We had everything finished up by 5:15 and loaded up the jeep. I drove and headed us towards the interstate for our trip north.
Wally can't handle wine! I think the combination of several glasses, the sun beating down on us and our beautiful day took its toll on my man. I looked at him just as I branched off onto I 275. He was asleep with his head leaning against the window. I smiled at him and lost myself in the music that was playing on the radio.
While I'm crossing the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, I can't help but wonder if Aunt Sally didn't want to face me on the call today? It's going to be an interesting visit with her this week, and I'm not sure what all will be said between us two. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I fear that Hurricane Vince is not the only thing brewing over the waters. I'm feeling some repressed feelings boil up inside of me and I'm afraid of what all I may say to her as we get together this week.
My thoughts turn from Aunt Sally to Hurricane Vince and my busy week ahead. The week is going to be jammed packed for me, and it may end up being the most exciting week that I've had since moving here for the job. No matter what this coming week has in store for me, I know the man sleeping next to me will keep me grounded for the week. I'm sending him telepathic thoughts now telling him to wake up and calm my fears down. I can honestly say that this is the first time in a while that I'm unsure if there are sunny skies ahead of me or not? Whatever the outcome is, I'll tackle everything like I always do and make all issues work out the best for me.
Watch out David Muir and Jim Cantore, CJ Walters is coming your way at full speed!
