After Chet fell asleep, I sent the pictures of the accident to the sheriff's office and filled in what I could of the required report that I found online. Chet would need to review and sign it before it would become official, but they promised to open the case and contact Amazon. Hit and run is a felony and serious business in Texas. And companies are typically responsible for the actions of their drivers.
During the morning, I napped on the sofa and checked on Chet hourly. He was very restless. Before long, when I walked in the sheet was on the floor, the tee had retreated up his chest, and he was otherwise nude in my bed. But, there was no evidence of nausea and no bleeding.
As he tossed and turned, I had various views of his body. I spent some time (actually quite a bit of time) watching him—if he woke, I could always explain that my actions were medically motivated. He was a few inches shorter than I and well-muscled. Creamy complexion with a pinkish tan on his face, arms and legs. He obviously wore shorts regularly. Long, thin (maybe 4" flaccid, 8" hard or perhaps a little longer?—if he is a grower) cut penis, nearly translucent so all the veining was prominent, with a much larger plum-like head. Just made for fucking. Good sized pink balls. Just made for fondling. Blonde with a little curl and rosy tints in his hair—including his pubes. Both were trimmed. All natural. Otherwise hairless. I hadn't realized that cyclists shaved. Sensuous thick pink lips. I had previously noted his cobalt blue eyes with long reddish lashes. Nice small bubble butt with deep hip indentations and small ass dimples and muscled thighs.
He was a young Adonis. Then it occurred to me that he looked a little like a grown up version of one of those cute Hallmark cherubs—sans the baby fat, but with prominent dimples in all the right places—and the rosy curls. Once when I came in, he was erect—proving out my earlier size estimate—and that he wasn't a "cherub.". Once or twice, I thought he might be awake, posing for my benefit, but I decided to play along. What did I have to lose?
I had lunch and left out a protein shake and bar by my bed if Chet woke and was hungry. He must have been, because both were consumed when I returned to the room. He had gotten out of bed. But, he was apparently asleep again and covered with the sheet.
Finally, mid afternoon, I heard Dad in the kitchen and left the room to explain the situation. He was making himself a sandwich, so I sat at the counter. I asked him about his night and he launched into a mini-stump speech about gun shot wounds, ER results, gun control regulation and our NRA-owned legislature. That's one of his hot buttons—and he's seen so many of the consequences. He frequently recommended that they open a gun shot emergency facility inside the state capital precinct so our NRA lackeys could see first-hand what they were doing to society. But, he realized it probably wouldn't make any difference—they would just ignore the carnage.
But he wasn't distracted from what I had done. He was not pleased that I had taken it upon myself to avoid the ER—even when I explained that Chet specifically requested no ER. He was also concerned that we had not called the Rangers immediately—accidents with bodily injury require reporting. He also noted that he knew both the sheriff and the Amazon general manager because of their ER use from time to time. He promised to let both of them know that he was interested in getting to the bottom of Chet's accident. But, he was visibly upset that I had taken all these "rash" actions without fully considering the potential personal consequences. I wasn't a doctor—yet—and wasn't entitled to legal protection if something went south.
We walked into the room as Chet was waking—he had pulled the sheet up to his chest. Dad makes an impression when he enters a space. He was casually dressed in blue scrubs—his standard leisure wear. He's tall, with a grey/blonde crew cut, and light blue eyes. Most would describe him as handsome and distinguished. He's a little thin, but has bulging arm muscles. ER docs tend to be beefier than others; they encounter lots of different experiences over the years since ER patients often come from the rougher end of society, and often from the rougher night spots of the town. But he has a quiet, mellifluous voice that inspires confidence (and obedience).
"Chet, this is my Dad. Dr. Brett Peters. He is an ER doc as I told you. He wants to take a look." "Sure," he said as he sat up and the sheet dropped away. Dad looked at me when he saw Chet was nude save the tee, but didn't say anything. Chet pulled off the tee. Dad examined the wounds and pronounced them all superficial. "It's been only eight hours since the accident, but there does not appear to be any evidence of concussion or infection. Let's keep antiseptic on the cuts. And observation is warranted for another 24-48 hours."
"Chet is currently living alone, so I've suggested he stay here for at least another day. His hosts return next Tuesday or Wednesday."
"I think that's a good idea. Can we convince you to stay for a day or so for observation?"
"I really don't want to be any trouble. I think I'm going to be ok."
"No one ever anticipates the impact of a concussion unless it's immediate. All you young guys think you're immortal. It is obviously advisable to be around others who can detect changes in your behavior or any swelling. I definitely recommend further observation."
(Oh, Dad. I could hug and kiss you. Thank you for that. Best wingman I've had all summer. And I'm definitely on for watching for swelling.)
"Well, if it isn't too much trouble. I'll stay. But, Geoff, you need to have your own bed back. I can make it on the sofa. And, I think I'm well enough to see what happened to the bike."
"I parked the pick up in the barn to protect it from any further damage. We can get it out later. We can talk about the bed later as well. We have a guest room, but it's in the pool house and I couldn't keep an eye on you as easily. It's definitely better if you stay here. Meanwhile, can I get you something to eat?"
Dad left to return to the kitchen and I stayed for a few more minutes with Chet. "I need to get you some clothes." So I pulled out some exercise shorts and another tee. "I'll leave these for you," and started to leave. "No need to leave. You've already seen what there is to see. I'm not really modest—in fact, I'm somewhat of an exhibitionist." At this, Chet threw the sheet off and rose from the bed and walked to the bath to wash his face and teeth and brush his hair. He returned in just a minute, obviously fluffing his equipment and reached for the clothing I had thrown on the bed. He had certainly set the sartorial standard (actually, the lack of same) for our time together and I couldn't be more pleased. And I was pretty sure that he was flirting. He was obviously proud of what he was carrying and the impression that he made. I suspect he's done a bit of cruising and may have been quite a hit at the gay bar.
"Let's go have some lunch and look at the bike." "Is a sandwich ok? I'll pull the pick up out so we have maximum light. You can use those sliding doors to follow when you're ready. Extra sandals or flip flops in the closet over there."
