With Corey driving out of the driveway of my Mom's on Christmas Eve night about seven, I slumped down in my seat with the holidays really getting to me. "Thank goodness that is over and done with. It was so much easier on us when everyone came to our house for Christmas," I stated.
"Tell me about it. Can believe how much Eli and Ruth have grown over the last year?" Corey asked about his step brother and sister who we'd seen one week earlier on our Christmas tour.
"I can't since you keep saying that," I said.
"I just can't get over it, Matt," Corey said.
"I don't think that Marie and Larry were too happy to hear you going on about them," I said about our Saturday visit to see his mom and Larry.
"I know and couldn't help it. It was great to see VJ again as well as your mom and Vince. I don't remember the last time that we saw VJ," Corey said driving.
"Me either and he's finally putting on a little weight," I said.
"I thought it was more muscle than anything. He talked to me forever about weight training. Are we even close to be ready for tomorrow?"
"I don't have a clue. It's gonna be ready or not here I come," I replied with us having some friends over for Christmas dinner.
We made it home to our house with our Christmas tree looking relatively bare underneath except for six presents, including our two to each other and two for Dirty Santa with our friends. I walked over and shook one of my presents while Corey was grabbing a beer from our fridge.
"Would you fucking stay away from the tree? You're worse than any kid that I've ever known," Corey said.
"I'm excited to see what you got me this year. The sad part is that we don't need a thing..."
"Especially after all the things that we got this Christmas," Corey said and stood to strip down.
I did the same and walked over to him. I kissed him on the lips. "It's amazing that after all these years you still turn me on more than anyone else in the world."
"I guess that's why we're married..." Corey laughed before putting his arm around my shoulder.
"I was trying to be slightly romantic," I said.
"I know and I failed in comedy. Matt, everyday I still know that I'm the luckiest man alive, gay, straight or whatever. Everyday I get to spend with you. Your gift to me could be two gift certificates for us to spend the night in bed making love and I still love them."
"Who says they aren't?"
"It wouldn't matter to me."
"Corey, thanks. Thanks for being my husband and putting up with me. I love you more than words. I consider myself so lucky to have you. Everyday is the best day ever when I get to spend it with you even if we're sitting here like we are now and just talking," I said.
"So, who are we expecting tomorrow?"
"Naturally, Kris, Melissa, Colt and Faith will be here and might come early if Colt and Faith get back in time. Cale and Daniel will be here or better be here or else not much will get served. Scott and Brennan are going to haul ass and try to be here too. Oh yeah, Shawn confirmed that he will be here," I replied trying to remember everyone.
"Man, I wish JJ and Teague could come. We had a real blast out with them when we were visiting Dad last weekend ago," Corey said.
"I know three guys who had a real blast. You haven't been that drunk in a long time," I laughed.
"I felt the next day too and it sucked ass," Corey said with him hearing his phone dinging with a text message. He stood to walk over to grab it from the kitchen bar. "I bet I know who this is."
"I have no doubt whatsoever," I said.
Corey returned with a big smile on his face and showed me a picture. "Eli is fucking stud now. Look at him."
"All I can see is a younger Corey. I swear every time that we see him all I can do is see a younger you but damn he is getting to be a real fucking little hottie," I said looking at the picture of Eli dressed nicely with a very cute girl.
"Please Matt, Eli's my brother."
"I know that. I was envisioning you at that age and what a fucking hottie you were," I said with a big smile.
"He's way better looking than I was. You saw the pictures in my annual."
"I forgot about that and agree. I wonder if he's getting any," I said.
"Ummm..." Corey stuttered and took a swig. "Matt, he and I had a nice talk about sex while we were there..."
"Really?"
"Come on. You can't expect a sixteen year to ask his Dad so he asked me about it. Boy was I one to talk about straight sex with someone," Corey said.
"What did you say?"
"To use his head and not the one attached to the end of his dick. I told him he'd know when it was time and to make it special. I told him to ignore peer pressure and do it when he and his girl were ready to become sexually active," Corey answered. "He's growing up so much now and told me about a few of the parties that he's been to. I told him to watch and the worst feeling ever was to disappoint your parents. The thing that made me the proudest was him telling me about standing up to some guys who were trying to bullying a gay kid at school."
"That makes me just as proud," I said and heard my phone ding. I walked over and looked at it before shaking my head. "Holy cow, it is Myles saying that he and Luke will be here tomorrow."
"That'll be a very nice surprise," Corey said.
"It will be," I said.
"Back to Eli. He told me that he had to drop some f-bombs on them too," Corey continued.
"I wonder where he learned that from?"
"I'll tell ya. School. He showed me some of his text message. They made me blush," Corey said.
"Boy is he ever growing up," I said.
We sat around and had another beer before we decided to head to our room. I turned on some symphonic Christmas music to set the mood for the night even though it wasn't truly needed. Corey pushed me on the bed and started kissing me before I felt his strong hand around my cock. My kissing grew stronger feeling his hand before he began rubbing our cocks together. We stayed this way for a while to enjoy our passion.
Once we finished sucking each other with our cocks so hard and throbbing, Corey was on the bed on his back while I lubed up my hard eight inches. Still after all these years, I still can't believe that I can the privilege of having hot man sex with this guy and I'm happily married to him. I eased in him to feel my hard bare cock entering his tunnel with our eyes connected still feeling the joy of the moment.
"Fucking love you so much," I said and brought my hand to pet his cheek with my cock sinking deep into him.
"I love you just as much."
"Merry Christmas," I said and began fucking him slowly.
"OOO... fuck. Merry... Christmas to you and me. Best fucking gift that I... ooo fuck yeah... can get," Corey said with his voice breathy and breathing through his nose. The pleasure of sex was written all over his face.
"One that I love giving to you almost daily," I said and leaned over with my palms on the bed while getting into a nice steady rhythm. The sound of our skin slapping together mixed with his deep moans and my soft grunts. My cock did slip out causing a momentary pause in the passion for me to apply more lube.
I slid back inside of him and got back in rhythm. I leaned over and found his soft lips while my cock slid in and out. His hands were all over my back and sliding up and down. Our tongues battled before I leaned up.
"Fuck me just a little harder, pleasssse," Corey said.
I obliged and fucked him harder with our bed began to shake more. Our bed had taken so much abuse over the years and still was holding together. I slowed down and leaned back to kiss him again. He pulled my head down and began pushing his hot ass on my hard cock.
We changed position with Corey getting on his side. We had mastered this and found ways to kiss. I loved his position now where I could run my hands down his muscular torso and start jacking him off while still feeding him my cock.
"OOOO fuck me... fuck me... feels so good," Corey moaned. Those words never would get old.
"Love fucking your hot ass... best ass," I said with my breathing increasing and sweat building up.
I began getting closer with my breathing getting louder. My cock began throbbing like crazy with our sex reaching a crescendo. I pushed hard and felt my cock began to unleash its load. "OOOO fuck, Corey!"
"Fuck yeah!"
"Santa's fucking delivering your gifts," I moaned with my cock firing into his ass and pushing hard into him.
"OOOOO fucking love em! OOOO fuck, I'm... cumming!" Corey cried out with me about finished.
"I wish I was getting those gifts," I said and watched hot white cum hit the towel. Corey was shaking, squeezing his ass tightly and getting loud with sweat rolling down his back. I stayed buried in him until he finished. I pulled out slowly to see the hottest cream pie with my cum oozing from his fucked hole.
Corey leaned over and began licking the mixture from my softening cock. Once he finished, my tongue tasted the mixture seeping from his ass.
"Still the fucking best, huh?" he asked.
"Nothing better to me. I love you."
"Love you more," Corey said before we showered.
I woke Christmas morning at eight and headed out to start coffee with a chill outside and cloudy while letting Corey sleep. I was able to gather my thoughts on everything from how well my job was going, how well Corey's job was doing, how well we were now physically after I started running again and sometimes hitting the gym. In all areas, life couldn't be better.
Corey woke with his blond hair a mess and a little stubble on his face. He walked over and graced me with a sweet kiss before getting coffee. "Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas to you. I think this is now our fourth Christmas since we've been married," Corey stated.
"I think so too," I said. "I was thinking of making waffles for us."
"Sounds like a plan to me," Corey said.
I mixed up the batter before making them and cooked bacon before pouring us some juice. We sat at the bar eating until we finished.
"Time to open presents," I said after we finished.
"Alright before it kills you," Corey said. He walked over and came me the joy of seeing his hot ass bent over and grabbing the presents. He handed his two to me.
We slowly opened the first one. I quickly knew that it was an Apple watch and was so excited. Corey opened his to find that I had bought him an Apple watch as well. We both started laughing since we didn't tell each other what we had bought and really never asked for anything.
I opened the next one which was a nice pair of jeans that I needed while Corey opened up some new weight gloves and shoes that he really needed. The tree was bare minus two gifts for dirty Santa with our friends.
"You cheated and bought me three things," Corey said.
"I knew that you needed both and they're sort of tied into each other," I said.
We shared a long kiss in the floor before I grabbed my phone. We got back in the floor and took a selfie in front of your tree to post as our Christmas picture. We opened our watches and began looking at them yet amazed at how great that they would be. I was vaguely familiar with them but hadn't programmed any of them yet. Corey liked the fitness aspect and stopwatch that could be used in his training sessions. We headed to shower together and cleaned up before looking through our closet to find ugly sweaters for today's theme.
We decided to wait since we were about to start cooking things for our meal. Corey left and took a large ham out to the smoker that he had bought last summer. I hoped six hours would be plenty. I began getting things ready while having a nice German chocolate cake ready that Mom had made for me. I started prepping for a green bean casserole with my fingers crossed that it would turn out like the recipe.
We sat on the couch nude and enjoyed holding each other close. We kissed again and sat talking about life. Naturally we talked about all our great friends and looking forward to the summer to be back at our pool.
It was shortly after noon when I heard a familiar knock at the door. Kris and Melissa walked inside with Kris having the biggest smile ever on his face. Both he and Melissa had on their sweaters on this cool day. "Bro, best Christmas ever," Kris said before placing two presents under the tree.
"We hope that it will turn out that way," Corey said.
I cut my eyes over at Kris and shook no. "How was your Christmas, Melissa?"
"I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas. My parents are so excited," Melissa said.
"Corey, we brought some buns and they are in the oven," Kris said.
"I guess you brought them over early," Corey said and looked mystified as he should.
I shook my head and leaned over to him. "Melissa has a bun in the oven."
"Oh my fucking God! Is it true?" Corey asked with excitement.
"I'm proud to say..." Kris said with tears in his eyes. "Melissa and I are expecting a child."
"That is so awesome," Corey said and walked over to hug both of them. "Matt, did you know?"
"Well..."
"He did since he called knowing that I was going to the doctor..." Kris said.
"I was worried," I said.
"I told him not to tell one person. We surprised our parents this Christmas and now so ready to tell all of our friends," Kris said.
"Corey, I could barely understand him since he was crying so hard. I thought something was wrong until he screamed I'm gonna be a fucking daddy!" I said and laughed.
"I can't get over this but it is super awesome. Next year, you'll have a little one here with us. Two people's lives are about to drastically change," Corey said.
"I know two people that will make the best parents ever," I said and hugged Kris. I moved and hugged Melissa gently with Corey right behind me.
"Bro, I know two guys that will be the best two uncles ever. Melissa and I want you to be our babies' uncle," Kris said.
"We can't say no and are honored," Corey said. "Man, I still can't believe this shit."
"Me either. I've been on somewhere way past cloud nine since we found on Wednesday. The thing is we weren't even trying... you know going through all the shit there is to know the perfect time to fuck and blow my load in her. Honestly, we don't know what day it was conceived," Kris said.
"They say I'm seven weeks along so it could have been anytime. We've tried to think back..." Melissa said.
"I know what the deal is and I know Kris far too well. When you do it every night, then it could have any one of those nights," I said and laughed.
"Bro, you ain't shitting. We've been going at it like we're newlyweds lately," Kris said laughing.
"We have too. Must be something about it getting dark earlier," Corey said.
"No, we're just crazy horny and crazy in love with each other," I said.
"Kris, you'll miss all the fun now," Corey said.
"Like hell I will. Ask Melissa if it has stopped us," Kris said.
"It hasn't at all. Matter of fact, Kris has been making love to me like he did on our honeymoon. We can continue until it is uncomfortable for me," Melissa stated.
"Or until I feel a fucking head," Kris laughed and kissed her.
"Kris, of all occasions, you deserve a beer," Corey said.
"Even if I wasn't gonna be a daddy, I still deserve one after shit that we've been through the past two nights. Why does Christmas have to be so fucking hard?" Kris asked with Corey leaving to grab some beer.
"Try three families with two that live 3 hours away in two different directions. This shit sucks bad," I said.
Corey returned with his phone. "Look at this, Kris."
"Bro, I swear he looks more and more like you every time that I see him. His dad might be a grandpa soon. He's a real stud and that girls fucking hot too," Kris said with Melissa looking at the picture too.
"Corey, what grade is he in now?" Melissa asked.
"He's junior this year," Corey replied. "After every game, he texts me how the Cowboys miss Ted."
"Boy do they ever. Who would have thought a hamstring pull would keep you out as long as it has for him?" Kris stated.
Melissa held up her hands. "I forgot the salad in the car."
"You stay here and I'll get it," Kris said and left running out to the car.
"As you can tell, he's been beyond excited. He's cried all day and sleeps with his head on my stomach. He barely lets me move" Melissa said.
"It will kill him if it's not a boy," I said.
"He wants a boy but he realizes that main thing is a healthy child," Melissa said.
Kris walked inside. "Cale and Daniel are here but no one say a word. Colt's gonna be fucking pissed as it."
We waited and saw Cale and Daniel walking with their arms loaded down and wearing ugly sweaters. I knew whatever they brought was good and would be ate. We sat it down on the table while Cale placed their gifts under the tree.
"I still have to put the rolls in the oven," Daniel said. "I need to heat up the beans."
"Check on the green bean casserole and see if you think that it is getting close," I said.
"Will do," Daniel said.
"How's everyone's Christmas so far?" Cale asked.
"Great bro and yours?" Kris asked.
"Not too bad considering what we've been through this weekend. In the future Christmas needs to a full week holiday especially when your parents live out of town," Cale replied.
"I have wine chilled if anyone wants a glass," Daniel said.
"I will," I said.
"I'll pass for now but thanks for asking," Melissa said with Kris smiling at her.
"Bro, we may have a winner in the ugliest sweater contest. Daniel that sweater may be the worst that I've seen," Kris said holding his beer.
"I got lucky and found at the Goodwill," Daniel said and handed me a glass. It was nasty with small dancing Santas, trees and snowflakes.
We stood around with Melissa going to the kitchen to help Daniel out while Corey grabbed a beer for Cale. We took a seat and talked about the craziness that was our Christmases up to this point.
As we were sitting, a bearded man walked in the door.
"Bro, I can tell your ass didn't get a razor for Christmas," Kris said.
"Nope. This was my No shave beard from November and figured what the hell. I'll let it grow," Shawn said bringing beer for the occasion and having on a plaid sweater with lights around the collar. Now it appeared that Corey and I didn't try and ours were hideous with mine having reindeer and Corey's having Frosty.
We all greeted Shawn. I know that Corey and I hadn't seen him in a few months if not longer. We talked with him about his job as a fireman and how much he liked it. At the moment, he was single again. He took the beer to our fridge and returned with one in his hand.
Next to arrive were Scott and Brennan bringing a lot of desserts to add to what we already had. They still weren't married and we stopped asking why.
"Who's left to still show up?" Scott asked in his Charlie Brown sweater.
"Colt and Faith are on their way," Melissa added.
"I wish they'd hurry the fuck up," Kris said.
"Oh God, I need to run check on the hams in the smoker," Corey said and left in a panic.
"How was your holiday?" I asked Scott and Brennan.
"Not too bad. Scott got an Apple Watch," Brennan replied.
"Me too and so did Corey. We didn't know that we were getting each other the same thing," I stated.
"Ah come on, Matt. You had to know that shit," Shawn said.
"We didn't. What fun would it be if we knew our gifts to each other?" I said.
"I don't guess that we are a damn bit of fun. I like it that way so Brennan knows exactly what to get me other than something I really don't want or can't use," Scott said.
"Scott, surely by now, you know what each other wants and needs," I said.
"I damn sure didn't have a clue what Daniel wants," Cale said with Corey returning to grab a pan.
"Bro, he's like the rest of us... well most of us... he wants your fucking ass," Kris said and laughed.
"I know that shit's right and I want his fucking dick. Damn, I love being married," Cale said.
"Hell, I'd just love getting some pussy," Shawn said and laughed. "My work schedule is so fucked up."
"Bro, you work one day out of three. How fucking hard can that be?" Kris asked.
"I thought the same thing. Something always happens on the day that I'm supposed to work. I just got off at 7 this morning," Shawn said.
"Shawn just be patient. Miss Right will come along when you least expect it. You're a good guy and one day a girl will realize that," Melissa said with a knock at the door. I glanced at my watch to see it was close to three. Corey returned with me getting a good smell of the ham. My hope that it was good and big enough for all of us.
Kris opened the door. I heard Myles's voice and waited to see him and Luke.
"Ah damn," Scott said.
"Sorry but someone is tagging along with us. This sorry thing..." Luke said with Ted walking inside carrying a big turkey in his arms.
"Bro, what the hell?" Kris asked.
"I didn't want to feel left out. I can't miss an occasion where my buddies are getting together," Ted replied.
I walked over and took the big turkey from him. "So good to see you and what a nice surprise."
"How are you doing, Matt?" Ted asked.
"I'm great. The question is how are you doing?"
"I've been better. The damn thing just hasn't healed as quickly as I had hoped it would be. If it had, I might not be here right now," Ted said.
"No doubt that you are missed out there this year," Cale said. "I scream at the TV every time and a lot yesterday watching the Cowboys."
"It's hard to watch but there's nothing that I can do," Ted said with me carrying in the turkey with the beans boiling. I pulled the green bean casserole from the oven and peeked at Daniel's garlic mashed potatoes warming.
I walked back out with Corey and Ted talking.
"Corey, I forgot. How's Eli doing?" Ted asked.
"Hang on. He sent me a picture," Corey replied and raced to grab his phone.
"Where the fuck is Colt?" Kris asked loudly.
"Who knows," Scott said.
Corey handed Ted the picture. "Wow Corey, he's really growing up. I doubt that I could toss him around anymore."
"Doesn't he look like Corey?" I asked.
"Matt, he does and nice looking kid too," Ted said.
"Corey, let me have your phone so I can get a picture of you two. You can one up him," I said and grabbed Corey's phone to take a picture of them together.
"He calls or text me after nearly every game saying how the team misses you. I can't watch them without you out there on the field," Corey said.
"Me either but you're the only reason that I watched," I said and saw Colt walking in with Faith. Faith had a dish in her hand with Melissa taking it from here. Colt had a beard now with both wearing ugly sweaters.
"Bro, we said wear ugly sweaters not your everyday work clothes," Kris said.
"Fuck you, Kris. At least I didn't get mine off the bum on the corner," Colt said with us laughing. I grabbed them and took a picture of them.
"Man, we feel so left out," Myles said.
"We're just glad that you are here. This is what holidays are about if you ask me," I said.
"Let me get y'all a beer," Corey said. He left to grab a few, returned and left Colt hanging with his hand out. He returned with the thirty pack and sat it on the kitchen bar.
Kris took Melissa's hand and moved to the center of the living room. I could already see how emotional that Kris and Melissa were getting.
"Bros, can I have your attention for a minute?" Kris said with tears building in his eyes with a hush over all of us. All eyes were focused on the two.
"You've got it," Luke yelled.
Scott leaned over to me. "I know what this is about."
"Bros..." Kris said and began breathing hard. He squeezed Melissa tightly.
"Kris had been a wreck but we're having a baby. I'm seven weeks pregnant," Melissa said.
Colt was the first to give Kris a hug with Kris nearly squalling like a newborn. It really got me seeing them embrace for a long time.
"We're happy for you, Kris!" Ted said with walking up next to embrace the two.
"Lucky that shit hasn't happened earlier," Shawn said.
"Bros, I'm the first in the line of many. You fuckers need to get busy so Nathan will have some buddies to go to college with," Kris said after we all hugged both for a long time.
"It's not for the lack of trying. How long have you known?" Colt asked.
"We found out Wednesday," Melissa replied.
"That is so wonderful and what a beautiful Christmas gift," Faith said.
"I'm disappointed that you didn't call me," Colt said.
"I just called Matt..." Kris said.
"You're such a fucking bitch! Damn you!" Colt said.
"Colt, I didn't even tell Corey. Kris had told me that he was going to the doctor so I had to call and see what was up. I thought something was bad wrong and barely understood him," I said and saw Corey showing Ted his phone. I saw the nice text back from Eli.
Melissa walked over and grabbed her purse. "Here's our little bundle of joy. Ain't she beautiful?" Melissa said holding up the mammogram.
"She? You know already?" Scott asked.
"Bro, we don't. The worst part is our parents didn't get to buy anything for HIM so guess what my mom and her mom are doing tomorrow," Kris said.
"Whatever it is, it'll be one spoiled little kid with a great bunch of aunts and uncles to spoil it with you," Cale said.
"HE will have the best aunts and uncles ever," Kris said.
"And the best parents too," Faith said.
"Bros, let's eat. Melissa now needs to eat for two," Kris said.
Daniel and I began setting the food on the bar with Faith coming to help out. We had what seemed like plenty thanks to everyone's contributions. Ted carved the turkey for us while Corey began slicing the ham. They began lining up and filling up plates. I was so happy to see everyone and loved having them here to celebrate the holiday. I stood looking around and took some pictures to remember this occasion for I knew that in the future with kids on the way that this might become rare.
We gathered our food and held up our dinners to toast our friendship and the coming of a new child. We began eating, drinking and talking.
"Luke, how's retirement treating you?" Shawn asked.
"I'm not retired. Matter of fact, I'm just getting started. Had a great second year in coaching and found my calling in life," Luke replied.
"Has any team called you to try to get you to return? There are some really bad quarterbacks out there now," Cale asked.
"I got a few calls last year but those days are past me now. Besides, I'm in shape to even take a snap. Ted can back up on this. The league is harder than ever and the hits keep getting more violent. I'm lucky to have got out when I did and still having my brain in my damn head," Luke replied and took a bite of ham.
"Concussions are no laughing matter. It really fucks up your head," Ted said. "This is some really good food, Matt."
"Thanks to Daniel it is and the rest of you," I said.
"I think that I got one my freshman year. Remember that Matt?" Kris asked.
"I think that you slipped and hit your head on those concrete walls," I answered.
"That's explains everything," Colt laughed.
"My damn head was ringing and you talk about the worst headache ever. It made a fucking hangover seem like a walk in the park," Kris said.
"Remind me to never get a concussion," Shawn joked.
"Spoken from a guy that knows all about hangovers," Brennan said laughing.
"Not a damn one of you have not had one..." Shawn said.
"Matt had the worst one ever after that night at Scott's," Corey said and laughed.
"Dammit Corey, how long ago was that?" I asked.
"Bro, when someone still gets really drunk and spurting off crazy shit, we still call it getting Matt drunk," Kris said with everyone laughing.
"My one time and it goes down as legendary," I said and had to laugh.
"Those were good days when we were young and so innocent. No one can tell you to enjoy it while you can. Then before you know it, it's over and all you do is work," Scott stated.
"Ain't that the truth. I'd give anything to have gone to college with all of you. I feel like that I went..." Daniel said.
"Me too. The stories are like Pinocchio's nose and keep growing and growing," Faith laughed.
"Every damn one of them is true too," Colt said.
"Even now, I'm thankful to have all of you as friends. Even today, I still feel like a regular guy..." Ted said.
"Even though Chase and Tabor were so star struck the first time that they met you like Eli is today," Corey commented.
"Wow, you should see how big Hunter is now. The boy is something else and spoiled rotten. The little man can outdo my ass on an iPad any day of the week," Colt commented about Chase's son.
"You should see Eli when he's texting. It's amazing. My big ass thumbs always get in the way," Corey said.
"Tell me about it. I'm the fucking worst texter ever," Myles said.
"You should see some of the text that I get from him. Sometimes I just say fuck it and call him they are so bad," Luke joked.
"Bros, those kids that I teach and coach are fucking amazing. They always have their head down looking at their phone," Kris said.
"Kris, next year we need to set something up so you can bring them to a practice..." Ted said.
"That practice facility is amazing. I drive by it all the time," Scott said.
"One day before we start, I want all of you to come by and I'll give you the grand tour. It is really something special," Ted said.
"Bro, we may have a special guest too about that time," Kris said with a big smile.
"I'll see if Eli can make it too if you don't mind," Corey said.
"Y'all need to come check out this house that Ted bought too," Myles said.
"I better enjoy it while I can but I want this group to be there New Year's Eve," Ted said.
"Why's that?" Colt asked.
"Dumbass, it's New Year's Eve," Kris said.
"I know that but I meant why do have to enjoy while you can, Ted?" Colt asked
"Well, I'm at the end of my contract and I don't know what's going to happen. They can cut me in a damn heartbeat. It's not unusual for them to do that especially if this hamstring won't heal like it should. I've never had an injury like this ever. Corey, I may get with you and see if you can come up with some different workouts. We have great trainers but sometimes a different opinion and new exercises works wonders," Ted said.
"I'll be there and will start trying to think up some different ones with attention on strengthening the muscles around it as well. You know that I'll be more than happy to do it," Corey said.
We snapped a few pictures around the table before we finished up eating with some very tasty desserts as well and cleaned up with some left over. We sat in the living room with everyone having another one. We continued to talk.
"I forgot that Jordy wanted me to say hi to everyone. I saw him for a few minutes when Brennan and I were at home," Scott said.
"How's he doing?" Colt asked.
"He's good. I feel for him. He catches everything that goes around. He had the flu last week," Scott replied.
"It's been spreading like fucking crazy at school. One day, I bet I had half of my class missing," Kris said.
"Reese had it a week ago and said that it was the worst thing that he'd had in a while," Ted said.
"Kris, what are you teaching now?" Myles asked.
"General P.E. and one health class that's a joke. Starting in January, I'm going to take some classes to get certified to teach special needs," Kris replied.
I was shocked, "I had no idea but that is your calling in teaching if there was one. He's the best with those kids."
"It takes a special person to do that, Kris," Faith said.
"I don't know why the hell Kris is doing it then," Colt laughed. "Really Kris, I agree with Matt. You're good with those kids."
"Remember Mikey and how he loved Kris," Brennan stated.
"I have a kid just like him. He was the manager for our team this year..." Kris said.
"He adored Kris and was always standing next to him," Melissa said.
"Be sure and bring him along too when you come this summer," Ted said.
"Are we about ready to do dirty Santa?" Corey asked.
"We didn't bring wrapped gifts. I have a few things that I can add out in my vehicle," Ted said and stood.
"Matt, you didn't tell us that we were doing this or about the sweaters. Some of them are fucking classics. Daniel, I love yours," Myles said.
"I was just happy that you were coming and you didn't need to bring a thing," I said.
"Be right back," Ted said and headed out the front door.
"Myles, how's Juan doing?" Scott asked.
"He's doing great. His kids are getting so big now. The little boy looks just like him. He's really advancing at work too and doing well," Myles replied.
Ted returned with several things and put them in the pile. We made numbers and attached them to the gifts before writing numbers on paper. We started out with Kris pulling a number. Naturally he got his own present and had to draw again. He drew one of Ted's gifts that was unwrapped, a nice hoodie. We started going around the room with a few crazy gag gifts included to make it even more fun while we took various pictures. I ended up with some little headphones on my first gift but didn't get to keep them very long with Cale taking them from me. My next gift was a pair of fuzzy dice that got everyone laughing. I knew that I was stuck with those and hung them on the tree.
We finished up with Corey ending up with the hoodie. I knew where it was going and knew that Eli would be so proud. We took lots of pictures with our phones to add to the great memories. I made sure to get one of us with all my college friends in it.
It was past nine before our house was empty. Corey and I took down the tree to end our Christmas even though we still had lights on the house.
"That was great and really made for a great Christmas. Christmas should be about family and friends," Corey said.
"It should and we sure did that. I think that everyone enjoyed it. I know that I sure did. It was so good to see everyone. We can be a part for months and then pick right back up where we left off," I said.
"That's the sign of true friendship. We have our own lives now and that tends to get in the way," Corey said.
"It does but we now have our friends that we know will be our friends for life," I said
"Don't we? I still can't believe that you didn't tell me that Melissa was pregnant," Corey said.
"I wanted to in the worst way but I promised Kris. It was hard for me not to run and grab him for a big hug when he walked in the door," I said.
"Matt, again it's been one hell of Christmas," Corey said.
"It has been. The next one will be here before we know it," I said.
THE END...
First off, forgive my errors in this story. I hope that no one minded that I wrote another chapter about the guys and the first since I ended it over two years ago. It was fun to do so again and easy to write. If you read the ending, I'm sure that you're well aware of how it ends. If you did, I hope you still enjoyed this chapter and my little gift to you. If you didn't, I hope that you still enjoyed it though you probably was wondering who was who.
Many, many thanks to everyone who wrote me at the end. I had mixed reviews about it but I always promised an ending. It probably wasn't how some wanted it and I'm sorry about that.
Again, if you want to write me, you can and I'll do my best to respond to each one, wasputz2525@yahoo.com.
