I was up early the next day and walked around the property, looking at the good job the boys had done so far. They had cleared away most of the pine cones but under the pine cones was a layer of tree branches, mostly small but a few would need a chainsaw to make them manageable.
As I started up the steps of my porch, I heard tires crunching on the gravel drive. It was Mike in his truck.
He climbed out of his truck, saw me, and walked my way. We said, "Good morning," to each other and I asked what happened to Mark.
"His truck broke down, Mr. Jim, while we was comin' over here. He was waiting for a tow truck to come get him. I don't know if he'll make it over here today or not. He'll call me on his cell when he knows something."
"Well, Mike, it's gonna be hot again today. I don't want you to pass out in the heat. There's plenty to drink in the fridge. Just help yourself."
"Thanks, Mr. Jim." He turned to get started. I watched him walk back to his truck and wondered if I could somehow get to suck his dick like I did for his friend Mark. The memory of Mike squirting eleven times while Mark jerked him off was fresh in my mind. The distance his cum squirted was impressive and I wondered what that would feel like in my mouth. I felt my cock stir and I went up the steps and into the house.
After washing the breakfast dishes, I turned on the TV to see if I could find a movie worth watching. A western movie was just starting and I lay on the couch to watch it. I dozed off and was wakened by a tremendous boom. I realized it was thunder. Then rain started drumming on the metal roof of my house.
The front door opened and Mike came in. Rain and his own sweat soaked him.
"Damn! Mr. Jim. Today just ain't my day." he said with a crooked smile.
"It'll probably pass over in a few minutes, Mike. Let me check the radar map on my computer." I went to my bedroom and got the weather site on. The radar map showed rain all over the state. I zoomed out and the green blotch of rain covered an area three states wide. Mike was standing at the bedroom door and I motioned for him to take a look.
"Jesus!" he said. "Where the hell did that come from? It was supposed to clear today."
"The weatherman was wrong again," I quipped.
"Shit!" he said. Then, "I'd better check on Mark and go home."
Mike took out his cell phone, pressed a button, and held it to his ear. "Mark, it's me. How you doing with your truck? Oh. Okay, I'll see you in a little bit."
"Sorry about that, Mr. Jim, I guess I might as well go home."
I nodded and said, "What's up with Mark's truck?"
"They got it fixed and he was on his way over here when the rain started, so he headed for the trailer."
"Well, Mike, tomorrow's another day."
I watched him run through the rain to his truck. He stopped suddenly, looked at the front tire, and banged his fist on the fender. He turned and stalked back to the house.
"What's wrong Mike?"
"Now I got a goddamned fucking flat tire."
I looked at his truck and it was barely visible in the downpour.
"Let's get you dried up. Come on. I led the way back to my bedroom, opened a drawer and found a cotton kimono. You can wear this while your clothes are in the dryer. You might as well take a hot shower, too. There's clean towels in the bathroom."
When I heard the shower going, I went in the bathroom and picked up Mike's clothes from where he dropped them and tossed them into the washing machine.
The clock on the wall said 1:00PM. I stood on the porch watching the rain. At least it cooled things down, I thought.
Mike appeared beside me wearing the kimono. "Feel better?" I asked.
He frowned and shrugged.
"Mike, I found out that when you're having a bad day, the best thing you can do is have a drink or two and just lay low."
"I guess," he said.
"Come on, I was gonna have a drink myself, and I think you could use one."
He followed me inside and I waved him to a seat on the couch. I took a bottle of sour mash and two glasses from a cabinet and poured three fingers of booze into each. Mike tossed his down in two swallows and I sipped a little from mine. The TV was on but the sound was turned down.
Mike was telling me about the plan he and Mark had to make enough pocket money to last them through a year. They were both on scholarships and wanted to earn money for gas, clothes, and everything else not covered by the scholarship. He picked up his glass with a question on his face and I told him to help himself.
The first drink had soaked into him and he was visibly more relaxed, and even smiled. He poured three fingers into his glass and followed my example of sipping the whiskey.
"You know, Mr. Jim, Mark said you've got some real hot porn on your computer." It was really a question.
"Sure. You want to see?"
He nodded with enthusiasm and we went back to my bedroom. I took my swivel-chair seat at the computer and Mike sat on the corner of my bed where Mark sat the day before. He could look over my shoulder and see the action on the big screen as well as I.
I had a play list of over a thousand clips of full-length movies and shorter clips of a minute or more in length. I started it running on "random selections."
