Never-ending passion – Chapter 03
"Cut the crap, I'm not mad at you. Annoyed at your ring around the collar, but not mad. Are you up for a trip to Nashville?"
"Dear I'm packed and my bag is by the door in the office, the pilots are completing flight plans and we leave at 7:00 AM tomorrow morning and I don't have ring around the collar"
"God, I love your tight (pause) schedule and you do as your heads so far up mama's ass it leaves ring around your collar." A tennis ball bounced off AJ's head that Evelyn threw at him.
Gina interrupted the line of the conversation – "Scott you do have a little ring around the collar. AJ why are you heading to Nashville, you just got home?"
"Carrie is butting in and got AJ lined up with the head of her label so he may be skipping his residency and hanging up his stethoscope before he practices medicine." AJ flipped Scott the bird –
"I am taking my family on a free trip to Nashville to meet with the stars and have a conversation with the record label to pay for the trip."
It became a free for all about AJ's future and why did he waste 3 years of his life for something he was not going to use – Everyone had an opinion and was expressing it like it was their right. AJ showed his annoyance at Scott, stating so only he could hear – "thanks for nothing sweetheart, I was going to do it slightly differently, but it's out now."
Scott whistled loudly "family while we appreciate your input, this is not your decision, it is AJ's and he will do what he knows to be right. None of us put in the hours, dedication and mental stress, HE DID. It was his time and money no one else's so if you can't be supportive, shut it. Babe, I'm on board with going and hearing what they have to say, if it works out you have a huge platform to speak to equality, mental health, child abuse and maybe get the folks in Washington to understand that the government should stay the hell out of our pocketbooks and our bedrooms. It would be great if you could also get them to legalize same-sex marriage so we don't have to travel with a binder of legal documents to ensure that our family's wishes are carried out."
AJ hugged his man and kissed his cheek. The family came around and eventually told him they trusted him to make the decision that was right for him and his family. AJ looked at Mike, he could see the wheels turning in his head – "nope bud you are flying commercial; Carrie is coming with us as the talent scout but you're just the eye candy so it's economy plus for you."
Mike ran at AJ who flew out the door with Scott yelling "Mike don't do it; it will end badly for you."
Carrie – "Mike's a pro hockey player he can take a doctor easy."
"Carrie, Scott's right AJ is a 7th-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and 10th degree in Jiu-Jitsu and is way stronger than you think." before Gina could finish her comments there was a splash in the pool and AJ could be heard taunting Mike. Members of the family migrated to the expansive patio.
Carrie – "Hey baby I hope you didn't have your phone in your pocket as it's likely to not work now."
AJ stripped down to his trunks and dove into the water. More struggles ensued and Mike's shorts and underwear hit the deck, followed by his shirt, shoes and socks and AJ swam away unscathed.
Carrie – "I assume he is a champion swimmer as well."
"Well, he is an exceptional swimmer and won a ton of medals" Evelyn yelled at AJ – "son I love you but you need to learn to play nice with others."
Brent and the boys had just emerged from the pool house. Steve shook his head – "Mikey what were you thinking? You're a fit boy, but not a match for our boy AJ. Oh, I see naked swimming, do you need some playmates in there with you, my friend?"
Brent leered "Naked swimming, why weren't we invited Mike?"
Mike – "Baby will you throw me my shorts, my virtue appears to be in question right now?"
AJ had approached him from behind and had him in a headlock before Mike realized what was happening to him and ground his obscenely large crotch into Mike's backside, in a hushed whisper "no one would know if I slid it in, AJ chuckled don't mess with the master unless you want to get bit." AJ kissed him on the cheek and swam away.
Mike's shorts hit him in the head without his phone in them. Scott was taking that for a rice bath. AJ climbed out of the pool and grabbed Brent, picking him up and pulling him into the pool with him, he had tossed his phone to Chase before being drug into the water. The rest of the guys ditched their phones and clothes down to their undies and dove in. The four of them tried to gang up on AJ, but that did not work out too well as they all either lost their undies or wound up with torn ones. AJ popped out of the pool and set the volleyball nets for a bit of a game.
He went into the pool house and slipped on a suit he knew the trunks were doing nothing to hide his manhood, bringing 5 more out with him, tossing them to the guys in the pool. Quickly the rest of the family that was interested in play were right there in their suits for a game with players rotating in at the serving position with each change of ends. Before those in the pool knew it Evelyn and Charlene were calling out that barbeque was ready. Everyone was having a blast and enjoying the time together as a family which Chase, Brent, Brett, Steve, Carrie and Mike were all part of. While they were eating Chandler and Amanda told AJ and Scott that everyone was packed and everyone's luggage was sitting in the office except for AJ's. AJ finished his lunch and quietly disappeared to pack for the trip that could dramatically change his life.
Scott came into the closet and pulled AJ to his chest and whispered in his ear – "love you are packed already. I took care of it and put your bag in the office with mine. I didn't want you to fret while you packed and talk yourself out of listening to the offer; you could change the music industry for all time – you have so much to give and I know some of this will sound superficial, but it's what people see – you are insanely good looking, killer body, eyes that look like the darkest sapphires that dance with the light of diamonds, an ass for days, a cock to fear and worship and most importantly a love for others that can't be matched and a voice that stiffens cocks and clits when you sing. It may change things beyond the music industry as well. I chose you and you chose me, it hasn't always been easy with some people but I don't care as I love you to the moon and back, always and forever I don't care that you are a dude, you are mine and I'm yours." AJ didn't realize he was crying as Scott wiped the tears away.
AJ kissed Scott's cheek – "How did I get so lucky to find someone who can love me for who I am and not try to change me to what they want me to be? Thank you for taking care of me"
AJ showed Scott the schedule – "will meet with the head of the studio, some guy named Waugh and Clive Owen as they are not sure where I would best fit, Country or Rock. I guess those voice lessons that mom and dad paid for early on have paid off."
Scott – "AJ, this is for you I won't be there."
AJ – "Then we aren't going. I'm not doing this without you period end of discussion just as I told Mr. Waugh."
Scott – "Ok then I'll carry your bags."
AJ – "Fuck you, dickhead – we are partners we will go in as the dynamic duo of two batmen and that's the last of it or we don't leave this house."
Scott kissed AJ and acknowledged – "Fine"
AJ grabbed his husband and pressed their bodies tightly together. He ground his hips into Scott kissing him on the mouth, trailing over to his ears, nibbling as he went, then down his man's neck to his collar bone. He pulled Scott's t-shirt off in one fluid motion and barely left Scott's neck causing the other to shudder. AJ bit Scott's right nipple causing him to moan loudly, he alternated between both erect nipples while he deftly removed the other's shorts and underwear.
AJ lowered himself to a squat in front of Scott as he kissed and nipped his way down his hard body causing the stud to shudder and shake with lust. He grabbed Scott's large erect cock firmly and squeezed eliciting a deep moan and growl from Scott. AJ ran his tongue around the head of Scott's engorged cock head while his left hand continued to squeeze the shaft and his right hand rolled his balls and pressed upward on his taint releasing a great deal of pre-cum which AJ happily lapped up.
AJ quickly removed his hands from where they were and pushed Scott's hips up and back against the closed closet door and swiftly swallowed his manhood to the root. Scott's knees buckled but he remained pinned against the door and held place by AJ's strong arms. Scott regained control of his legs, AJ took his right hand and followed his mouth up and down Scott's dripping cock, coating his hand and fingers in spit and pre-cum. AJ released his hand and slide two fingers into Scott's ass as he slammed his mouth down Scott's shaft again causing his knees to buckle. AJ was now holding him up with one hand on his hip and the other between his legs.
As Scott regained his stance AJ got down to the business at hand – draining his lover's balls. He took his left hand and squeezed his shaft and got into a rhythm of sucking and stroking that beautiful cock while his right hand was milking his hardening prostate. AJ's ministrations had Scott shooting a huge load of baby batter down his throat in minutes. Without AJ supporting Scott he slid down the door and was sitting on the floor with his cock still pulsing in AJ's mouth and his prostate forcing more cum out of his still very hard cock.
AJ slowly removed his three fingers from Scott's ass and finished milking every last drop of sweet cream from his balls and cock. He licked his lover's crotch clean and kissed him full on the mouth. "You ready to go back to the party my love?" AJ asked Scott who was still breathing hard.
Scott chuckled – "Damn Taz give me a minute." There was a knock on the door, it was JR – "AJ have you seen Scott, I wanted to chat with him for a minute."
It was AJ's turn to chuckle. He winked at Scott, who immediately knew he was going to be embarrassed – "Dad, are you talking about Scooter, who is about 6'1" tall, insanely good looking, exquisite hard body, an ass for days, a huge cock and the most amazing smile?"
JR – "Son, you know who Scott is, are you two fucking around in there?"
AJ – "Dad, I haven't seen him lately, I have been packing." Scott was quietly trying to move so he could get dressed but AJ had him pinned against the door so he was stuck there completely naked and exposed to his unpredictable lover who was now pulling his rock-hard cock out of his pants.
JR – "Son just open the door it's nonsense that we are talking through a closed door when all you are doing is packing."
AJ had lubed his cock with a bottle of lube he had in his open suitcase and rolled Scott's legs into position and was sinking into Scott's ass. Scott placed both hands over his mouth to stifle a moan. AJ had a wicked look in his eye and Scott knew he was in for a ride and likely discovery by his dad.
AJ – "I'm naked and changing. I'll be out in a few and we can find Scott together."
JR – "AJ you are a pretty good liar, but I heard Scott moan so I know you are engaging in a sexual act of some sort. Scott when you are finished come to find me.
AJ – "Since you asked, I'm sinking my cock into your son's ass as we speak and he is having a hard time stifling his sounds of pleasure as you heard."
Scott found his voice – "You are such an ass; I love you but you are a dick."
AJ pulled Scott up into his lap and fully impaled him on his long thick cock. When Scott bottomed out, he was in the perfect place to now control AJ. He shoved his lover back, effectively taking all leverage he had away from him. He started massaging AJ's cock with his muscular frame, it was AJ's turn to moan and growl at the pleasure Scott was providing him.
Scott grabbed AJ's nipples and pinched them hard, eliciting a yelp from him. Scott continued to torment AJ who was now complaining that his legs were going to sleep which was Scott's plan from the beginning. He continued his assault on his lover for a few more minutes to ensure AJ would be unable to follow him when he left him on the floor with a hard-on. Scott leaned forward and kissed AJ deeply and then whispered in his ear. "I love you but I'm going back to the party and will consider getting you off later tonight. This is definitely punishment."
Scott stood abruptly and dress as AJ untangled his numb legs. He grabbed Scott's legs as he tried to exit the closet – "I'm sorry, I was having some fun but I was wrong." Scott bent down and kissed AJ – "you can make it up to me tonight." Scott left the closet and winked at AJ as he left.
AJ thought talked to his cock – `little shit, you get me in trouble all the time. I have a mind to cut you off from sex but that would be a problem for me as well.' AJ finally was able to stand, he wiped his cock down and brushed his teeth making sure that the sex smell was all gone before returning to the party. As he took one final look in the mirror, he noticed he had a large spot of cum on his shirt so he changed that and headed back out.
Everyone was engaged in conversations, pool, hot tub, croquet, volleyball, tennis, basketball, or kayaking. As the day wore into night another barbeque was served and shortly after that everyone started heading for home or bed as the house would be up early.
The next morning, they were winging their way to Nashville to see if this opportunity would detour their current doctor/lawyer plans. They landed and were taken to a gated home that would be theirs for the week; a chef, maid and butler were provided to address every need. There were arrival gifts for the kids (including Amanda and Chandler), AJ and Scott. AJ thought to himself they are pushing hard on this wine and dine; they should have done better research as things don't matter, the substance does and these gifts were cool things but not more than surface deep.
AJ and Scott went to their room to shower and change as they were having dinner with some executives from the label and their top artists to try and woo him over. The car and driver were waiting for them when they exited the house after saying good night, hugs and kisses to their kiddos. AJ was relaxed and mellow tonight, Scott was keyed up – "babe you need to relax, we have a plan and for them to change our minds it will take a hell of a deal and so far, they don't know us at all the gifts showed that."
Scott chuckled and kissed AJ's hand that was firmly gripped in his "those were my thoughts exactly when the kids opened their gifts." AJ heard the driver grumble, fags getting the royal treatment and stopped dead in his tracks.
"Hey asshole, this fag is going to kick your candy ass up and down this driveway if you don't get your redneck, hillbilly backward ass out of my sight." The driver released the door and spun on AJ and Scott, lunging at AJ. Scott thought big mistake, just as AJ sidestepped this hillbilly and he fell on the driveway. Scott was filming now and did not realize that Chandler was filming from the start. "Pathetic you candy ass hillbilly, this fag as you call him is quaking in his shoes that the big, bad, tough redneck might hurt him."
AJ had removed his jacket during this exchange. "Bring it on Nancy." The driver had gotten up ripped his jacket off and started calling AJ all sorts of colorful names, pulling a knife out of his pant leg and lunging at AJ again who easily deflected the advance and pulled a 9 mm out of the back of his pants pointing it at the redneck hillbilly – "stay down, a knife in a gunfight was a sure way to wind up dead." A cop car pulled in just as AJ started to dial 911.
The situation was discussed and videos were shown, the driver was placed under arrest for a hate crime. Scott was on the phone with the label telling them about the delay and that they would be there as soon as they could – they would be driving the provided suburban once the police had everything they needed. Another 15 minutes and the police let AJ and Scott head out with their sincere apologies on behalf of the City of Nashville.
AJ and Scott walked into the restaurant 30 minutes later and were greeted by the label executives. When AJ was introduced to the head of the label
"Thank you for your interest, your team is up with 2 strikes, 3 balls and in the bottom of the 9th, 2 men on and 2 outs down by 2."
Mr. Waugh asked, "what are you talking about son?"
AJ dove in – "The flight was great as you chartered a private jet from a company, I own so the flight was awesome. The house is exquisite. 2 runs at this point. Then there came the gifts, the sentiment was well-meant but it was clear that no one asked any questions – Carrie knows our family and the items that were shared were not personal. Strike one. The driver you hired was a homophobic asshole that attacked us with a knife. Strike two. I made it clear that this was going to be a very hard sell for me as my family is my utmost priority and will remain that way for all time."
Clive stepped up and moved between Butch and AJ extending his hand to introduce himself. "Mr. Reed O'Brien, may I call you AJ or Aaron? Thank you. I'm Clive Owen and I am the head of Arista global which owns Arista Nashville. When Butch and I spoke, I was not convinced you would be best suited for the country label, but open to it. What I heard on the recordings was phenomenal and I will be taking point from here on out. My driver will be taking care of you and your family while you are here so, please keep an open mind."
AJ nodded. "Scott, I understand that you two have been together for 4 years and committed for 3 ½, I know that convincing the two of you to abandon the pull of a medical career for AJ is an uphill battle but I'm up to the challenge."
Scott – "Clive, great to meet you, using AJ's analogy I believe you hit a double and have tied it up."
The rest of the evening went very well. Clive made certain that AJ and Scott knew that additional artists outside of country music would be arriving tomorrow for another dinner, then there would be a family dinner including significant others and their families – roughly 125 people had committed to that engagement. Tomorrow would include studio time where AJ would record some existing music – rock, pop, blues and country.
Clive took the guys back to the house and said he would be by to pick them up on the way to the studio. He apologized again for the dropped balls and understood that family comes first for AJ and Scott so the label would be doing better. If they worked something out, Clive would be managing AJ for the foreseeable future as he had a great number of ideas and wanted to be part of it. Thank yous were exchanged again, AJ and Scott walked into the house holding hands. "Clive is good, great dive and save."
The rest of the week went very well, Clive saw to AJ and Scott personally; his staff worked tirelessly behind the scenes but he made a personal connection with AJ. There was something about this young man that drew him in and wanted to do everything he could to make this work. He knew this would be immensely profitable, but he really believed that this man could change perceptions about love and being a human being worldwide. Yes, there would always be detractors and haters, but those on the fence would see that if you concentrate on being kind, open and loving to your fellow human beings then things would get better. On their last day in Nashville AJ and Scott had a meeting with Clive and the rest of the executives to talk through their proposal; Clive started with
"We know you would be sacrificing your chosen careers to take this on and that is huge. Scott, I did state CAREERS with an S for a reason, your family is paramount to both of you and with our proposal you would need to move here to Nashville and split your time between here, New York LA and Seattle. Your base of living would have to be Nashville given the studios and proximity to New York, and the west coast we understand is home for you both. Scott your job would have to change as there is no way you could build a client base in Seattle with you spending 50% of your time here, 30% in New York and 15% in LA & maybe 5% in Seattle.
What we are proposing is for the next 3 years you spend most of your time here in Nashville and a great deal of time in New York. We want to launch two albums in the next 6 months – 1 Country and 1 Rock, then you will spend the next year on a worldwide tour of major cities around the world – kicking off in Seattle, LA, Dallas, Chicago, New York, London, Paris, Munich, etc. In each city you will do two concerts – Friday night a country concert and Saturday night a rock concert, a week of rest and move to the next city. With the media campaign on this, I believe your albums will debut at #1 and dominate the charts at 1 & 2 respectively for weeks and if we are lucky months. Your two groups of fans will be competing with each other to show you where you should concentrate your efforts and your albums will sell through.
Scott for you we are proposing; you, AJ and I talk with your managing partner and convince her to open an office here in Nashville focused on the recording industry. I personally & professionally would be your first client, which does not leave this room as I have not told my current firm they are being replaced. This part of the deal is moving forward regardless of whether AJ accepts the proposal."
Before AJ or Scott could say anything, Butch continued "I know we screwed up at the beginning of this whole thing. I was so excited about your voice and was solely focused on getting you signed I did not do my due diligence and missed the fact that you don't need to work at all, you chose medicine as it is a way for you to give back. We all believe that this opportunity landed in our laps for a bigger give-back – better humanity. We plan to not announce to the world you are bi-sexual; we plan to announce to the world here is Aaron Jonathan Reed O'Brien a kick-ass human being, in a great-looking package, with a huge voice and an even bigger heart. We are not going to avoid your sexuality or your relationship with Scott, but we are proposing that we don't make a big deal about it. We didn't launch Brad or any other artist by stating here is our heterosexual country star Brad Paisley, his family and relationships were addressed in the long run but it wasn't like gee here is a straight dude, buy his records. We believe we need to launch you the same way as any other artist and not make your sexuality the primary focus, when it comes up you will address it just like anything else in your life – with honesty, sincerity and like it is just a part of who Aaron is as a human being."
AJ held Scott's hand the entire time, they did not need to look at each other to know what was going to be said next. "Gentlemen and Ladies, I don't know what to say about your introduction, it is not anything we expected and honestly it is quite refreshing to not be ridiculed or put on stage to represent. We know that IF we do this that will happen organically however it is great to see that you collectively are approaching this as – artist first, family man and bisexual in that order. You have given us a lot to think about and in the end, we will decide based on what impacts we can have on people first and foremost as Butch is right, I don't need to work, I made more money during this meeting than I will make in a year with this contract. Scott and I will discuss the proposal and get back to you by Monday. We would like to extend the stay at the house, who do I need to coordinate with to take care of that?"
Clive's assistant indicated – "Everything is handled, the return flights have been adjusted to allow for flying out on Tuesday morning, a meeting is scheduled with Clive and Butch for 1 PM Monday."
Everyone in the room turned to Clive's assistant. Clive piped up – "that's why he is MY assistant, I would be lost without him." Someone asked the question about the meeting with Scott's managing partner Cheryl Marshall. Scott assured everyone that he would handle that discussion privately and nothing would be discussed until Clive was ready for any announcements. Clive winked and nodded his head at AJ and Scott; letting them both know he knew full well the relationships within the firm. Butch asked AJ and Scott if they wanted to grab lunch which they declined in unison. They had a family outing planned to the Grand Ole Opry and Broadway.
The family jumped into a suburban and drove to the Grand Ole Opry and when they arrived Butch had arranged for a private tour and a meet and greet with the team there. The kids were loving being on stage and putting on a little show for those present. Jimmy, the person leading the tour leaned into AJ and whispered, "why don't you go stand on the dark circle, what I've heard you will be there shortly if you take the plunge". AJ stood in awe of the stage he was standing on. He knew what the answer was going to be. Scott hugged him from behind whispering in his ear – "you're sold, aren't you?"
AJ – "Yeah, baby I am, this could be huge for changing how we interact with people, more than I could do as a doctor. If it doesn't work out, I can go back to medicine."
Scott – "Well then we agree, let's do this."
Jimmy was asking the kids if they wanted to go to the gift shop and pick a gift from the Grand Ole Opry to donate to some sick kids at the children's hospital in the area. AJ was on edge with the question until he heard the donation; he was fiercely protective of his kids being kids and not spoiled rich kids. When they arrived in the gift shop, the kids were bouncing around trying to find the right gift to donate to a sick kid. Chandler asked Uncle AJ, "would it be ok with you and Scott for us to talk with Jimmy and see if we can go with them and deliver the gifts, we really would like to spend some time at Children's, we do that in Seattle as well and it would be great to spend some time here." AJ hugged Chandler and Amanda and led them over to Jimmy who was very receptive to the young ladies joining them for the delivery and would get them back to the house afterward.
Scott and AJ took Conor, Caleb, Sydney and Harper to Broadway for a late lunch and just relaxed for the first time since hitting Nashville. They bought the kids some cowboy boots and other "cowboy" stuff including hats for each. They headed to the car to head back to the house for naps and a detailed discussion about the offer. They arrived at the house and got the kids cleaned up, stories read and naps underway; AJ and Scott went out to the patio to review the information and plan from Clive and Butch.
They pushed, pulled and tore it up and put it back together and found a little nugget in the documentation that was not discussed in the meeting but was there clear as day – Clive had a section in the cover letter to AJ and Scott that confirmed a commitment from the head of the Vanderbilt Trauma Center to provide AJ with a residency in the future if he chose not to continue with the singing career. There was an envelope in the packet that was from the head of the trauma center and signed by the board with that commitment in writing, a commitment response required from AJ to ensure that he understood the parameters and those were few – at any point in the future, the trauma center would gladly have him as part of any residency program, period nothing else. Scott read and re-read the letter and commitment, handed AJ a pen and said, "sign it all – you are doing this, we will make it work and you can have such an impact."
AJ took the pen and placed it on the table, he hugged Scott and kissed him passionately stating "later".
