The first day went relatively well. We got his clothes and stuff (wasn't much to be honest), came home, and spent a quiet night just chilling.
I offered him to sleep anywhere he wanted in this huge house, but he decided bunking in with me was okay. Uh, okay. Not what I had expected but I kinda gathered he didn't want to be alone and I couldn't really blame him...so, well...
He went to sleep rather quickly. I NEVER do cause my mind never or seldom stops easily or for long, and it gave me time...laying next to him to try to figure out what to do next. School was about to start and he would be a senior (smart kid), and it would be now MY responsibility to make sure he was ready and outfitted. I could see he had not much in the way of supplies and clothes, etc. AHH, the life of an instant parent or whatever. Money first and everything else later. LOL.
Finally I fell asleep with only the semblance of a game plan in place in my mind. Good thing I am good at WINGING IT.

Today had been the last Thursday in August and school would start right after Labor Day so no time to waste.

FRIDAY MORNING - 9:15AM:
I called the local high school and spoke to the Guidance Counselor, who thank God was in his office, and who also thank God I knew. He had been mine when I was in high school and that helped. I filled Philip in on Jake, and he said c'mon in and bring Jake with me, who I then woke up and he got showered and spiffied.
We got to Philip's office about 10:30am and it all went pretty smoothly. He asked Jake about his senior courses, told me what his grade point average was (3.9...not bad not bad, all things considered), helped Jake set his course schedule for the year, and then I asked about college.
Jake looked at me as if I was daft, and IRREGARDLESS of the fact that that is NOT in dispute, I proceeded anyway. We talked, mulled, discoursed, discussed, mused, mulled some more, and eventually decided that the next step would be to apply (never too early for that I realize), and also decided to pick the local State University as a starting point. Could always change schools later on. Jake agreed before he knew what had hit him...LOL, and Philip gave us the paperwork to fill out. Said Jake could bring it back to him on Tuesday and he would do the rest.
That done, we left to go to lunch. Nice place near where we live and we feasted. They do a London Broil that is to die for, and we ate like it was the 'last supper.' Add the Surf & Turf shrimp, and YUMMM YUMMM.
I was so happy to see Jake was starting to mellow out and was now talking a lot more. He is I discovered quickly almost scary bright like I am accused of being and I could tell we would have many VIBRANT discussions on a wide range of things and that would be a bonus.
After lunch it was time for SHOPPING, AMEN...and God knows we did. I spent a FORCHOONE, but Jake was so appreciative and I can afford it and it was KEWL to be able to get this kid looking good and make him happy. I think I got more out of it than he did.
Jeans, and dress pants and suits, and shirts and ties and casual everything and packs (his was pretty threadbare), and shoes and socks and undies and swim stuff and jackets and coats and Smart stuff, including a Smart Phone, and on and on and on. I will not bore you with the finally tally, but I know several third world countries who would give their EYE TEETH to have that kind of money, but like I said it was MY PLEASURE.
Course the down side was hauling it all into the house from the garage and upstairs and putting it all away. There are two walk-in closets in the Master Bedroom, so he got one while the other was already full of MY SHIT. Two bathrooms as well, so he got his own to put his beauty gear in. LOL.
Took a couple hours to dispose properly of our BOUNTY, and then we decided to go down and play some pool in the game room. I TROUNCED HIS ASS, lol...but not by much. He had never played and I am terrible at it...so, it was close to a draw. BUT THEN, tummies growling, we refreshed and headed to town and a local steak house and MANY BURPS LATER found us sprawled, enlarged bellies grumbly, in front of the big screen in the bedroom, watching a flick or two and one thing about overeating is one gets sleepy quick. Next thing I knew the sun was peeking in through the drapes and when I looked over at Jake, he was quietly snorfling and dreaming I am sure the dreams of the sweet and innocent. Something I am REALLY GOOD AT, yeh right.
It was now the Saturday before Labor Day and except for the MANDATORY SALES ongoing, not much could be done until Tuesday when school would start, but it would give us time to fill out the college stuff and get more settled in and acquainted.
Funny, we had just met and yet it had the feeling of two long-standing friends about it. Jake is incredibly easy to know and be around. That was true then and still is. He is as gentle and easy-going as anyone I have ever known...and I love that about him. This could have been a terrible mistake and an arduous process, rescuing someone I had never even laid eyes on ten minutes before I did that and this could have been ANYTHING BUT easy. But easy it was and is cause of Jake. He is a beautiful dude and God knows that didn't come easy. Considering his family background he could so easily have turned out to be TROUBLE with a capital T. But, nope. For that I am immensely grateful.
I got up first and got myself spiffied for the day ahead, and then Jake woke up and did the same as I went down to put breakfast together. Ham and eggs and toast and juice and cereal. I was proud of myself and was setting the breakfast table as Jake walked in. He beamed, and I blushed. LOL.
I blushed because I don't do much cooking around here. Some but not a lot. See, I have a couple of dudes (literally a couple) who serve as my housekeepers, cook and bottle washers, maintenance dudes and whatever else. I had given them the week and the weekend off so they could go see friends in Seattle. They would be back late Tuesday and rightfully inquisitive how I could get into so much trouble SO FAST since they had just left. LOL. But they know me well, and I will just look innocent and they will know better and...
"Looks good, Dylan. Really good."
"Edible?"
"YEH, really edible."
"Well then...let's have at it," and we did.
"I thought that maybe we would start on the college paper work after clean-up, if that is all right with you," and it was.
WE DID. But I wondered if Jake even knew how to stop and smell the roses once in a while. Had he ever had the chance? I vowed to make sure he did and that he would, OFTEN.
We did as I suggested and that took a couple of hours, but then it was leisure world (roses sniffing) and SWIMMING. In the pool of course of which there are two. Olympic and puddle. The river out back is not really in shape for swimming in. Boating yes, swimming I prefer the pool...and we made monstrous fools out of ourselves diving and belly flopping and carrying on like the idiots we are. LOL. Thank God. I wouldn't know what to do with anyone really SANE. Sanity is WAYYY above my paygrade. Even all my friends are wacko but in a nice way of course...and say I am too so it works out well that way.
We swam, sunbathed, and even snoozed a bit I think, and it felt really good. Then the phone rang.
"HEY," I hollered into my cell...
"HEY YOURSELF, DOOFUS," it was my friend Robby, and he was wanting to come over to swim and I said ok, and so Jake would now be treated to the first of my friends...he has my DEEPEST sympathies. HAHA.
The rest of the day went swimmingly, so to speak and late in the afternoon I got some grub rounded up...burgers and chips and fries and all that gooey good crap, and we ate LIKE THE PIGS WE ARE.
BURP.
Jake went in to go to the bathroom, and Rob leaned in.
"GEEZ DUDE, YOU STRUCK GOLD THIS TIME, HUH?"
"What?" I countered
"OMG, Jake is GORGEOUS. MAN you DEFINITELY CHAHMED. What is he like, you know?"
Rob was being subtle in his usual fashion of course.
"LIKE? What ever do you mean?" Two can play at this game.
"LIKE..you know, bed boomies."
"I wouldn't know," I demurred and truth is I didn't.
At this point I had NO idea what Jake was into sexually...and wasn't interested in pushing anything. That was NOT what he was here for.
"Yeh right," Rob laughed just as Jake walked back out and that ended that.
Rob just winked at me and I looked innocent and so much for twenty-questions. FOR NOW! I know Rob. He won't let up until he is satisfied he has all the dope on my latest 'FIND'. Good God. My friends can be SUCH TROLLS sometimes.
We swam or rather dawdled in the pool some more after dinner, watched a movie, played some pool (Rob is a shark) and then he left and we just sat out on the patio for awhile enjoying the late summer night. Fall would be here soon enough and I for one LOVE summer and HATE WINTER.
Well, suffice it to say...SO FAR SO GOOD.
But would it remain so?
I didn't know. But I would, God knows. Oh yes I would...and there would be surprises ahead.
Some good, and some...well...
Trust me this story is JUST beginning.
Stay tuned. The best is yet to be.
