strength. Tears were in his eyes as he heard his father whisper to him that he loved
him. It was perfect, the whole thing was perfect and he finally stood back
on the ground, his arms still around his father, but no longer clinging to
him.
Their eyes were locked and it seemed like they had finally connected once again. Father
to son, son to father. It had been a long time since they had been able to
connect. Both had tried many times but there always seemed to be some
barrier, but for this moment, the barrier was gone. Both teared up and
finally Billy was shoed away to go check out his new truck.
Taylor stood by his younger brother as he climbed all over his birthday gift. He was
happy for Billy, and at least with the truck, maybe Billy wouldn’t miss
him too much. As he told him, now he didn’t have any excuses for not
coming up to college to visit for a weekend.
Billy hugged his brother and just kept crying. The tears didn’t stop from the second
his eyes had locked onto his father’s, until now as he clambered all over
the huge 1 ton pick up. It was loaded and had every option imaginable. Man
what a treat and a 1999 model too.
Taylor moved on towards the house with his father and with Mike’s dad. They were all
laughing together, reliving Billy’s terrified and confused expression at
his birthday present. Only Mike
stayed behind and he seemed rather nervous. Wonder if he knew about the
surprise?
“Hell of a birthday present .... isn’t it Mike?”
“yeah. It sure is.”
“Wow, I am so damn stoked Mike.... did you know about this?”
“Yeah.... kind of... “
Billy couldn’t believe it. How in the blazes had everyone been able to fool him but
man, what a surprise and what a birthday this was turning out to be. He
looked at Mike and gave him a slug on the shoulder.
He started to turn
away to admire his birthday present some more when he felt a slight touch on
his shoulder. He turned back to find Mike’s face right next to his and a
strange sort of fear like expression on his face. Before he could say a word
Mike leaned forward and kissed him full on the lips.
