Part 9
Manny
Dawson was suppose to be home today so when I woke up to the empty right side of the bed, I was upset. Kole still slept in my arms and I kissed him on the neck. He grinned in his sleep before settling again. I reached over to grab my phone to check the time. Damn, it was 10AM. I never slept this late before. I guess my lack of sleep from the previous days finally caught up to me.
Checking my messages, I saw that I didn't have anything from Dawson. What the fuck? He didn't even let me know rather or not he was coming back today. It was the least he could do. I set my phone aside, deciding not the dwell on the issue or else I would get even more mad. I got out of bed, careful not to wake Kole and headed downstairs. Carson was in the living room watching tv. I bent down and kissed him in his messy hair. "Good Morning little bro." Carson looked up and beamed at me. "Good Morning. How did you sleep?" I walked around the couch and plopped down beside Carson. "Better with one of my brothers in bed with me."
Carson's smile dimmed. "You haven't been getting any sleep" I shook my head. "I'm not use to sleeping alone anymore." Carson nodded in understanding. "Yeah I don't like it either. There's no reason any of us should sleep alone with it being five of us in a house."
"Yeah but it still happens sometimes," I said, grabbing the remote in search of something to watch.
"I thought you said Dawson was coming back today."
"I thought so, but he's clearly not here and I haven't heard from him so...I don't know."
"Did you try calling him?" Carson looked up at me with his pretty big eyes.
"No." Now Carson looked at me with the 'seriously' expression. "Try calling Manny."
"I left my phone upstairs," I said, folding my arms. Carson shook his head and retrieved his phone from...somewhere I didn't see. He silently dialed Dawson and we waited as if rung, and rung...and rung until it finally went to voicemail.
"See. He's not even answering his phone. What the hell is he doing there?"
Carson shrugged and put his phone away. "Maybe he's too busy."
"Too busy to call his fucking boyf-... brother." We'd never discussed what we were and I for sure wasn't going to assume we were more than just brothers who like to fuck.
Carson placed a hand on my shoulder. "Manny, you know he would call if he could. Dawson's the most responsible one out of all of us. He must be truly busy." Sometimes I forgot who the older brother was between me and Carson. He always seemed insightful. I let his words ebb my annoyance.
This lasted until Thursday and we still hadn't heard from Dawson. I waited until it was around noon before calling him from my phone. He didn't answer once again so I shot him a text stating to call me asap. I wondered if dad heard from him so I gave dad a call as well. His phone went straight to voicemail. That wasn't a surprise since he usually cut his phone off when he was busy at work.
I decided I was going to stop by and talk to him in person. I put on some jeans and a v neck shirt with my hair pulled back. It was hot outside but I didn't want to show up at dad's office with my usual shorts and tank.
Last night, I slept alone and my sleep was shit like days before. I went to the twins room since I could hear their tv on. Inside, they were cuddled up, spooning in their favorite position with Carson as the big spoon. They looked so fucking cute that it put a small smile on my face.
"Manny! Get in and cuddle with us. We're watching marathons," Kole said, pulling his cover back and revealing his naked body. Any other day, I would be more than happy to join in and cuddle against their pliant bodies. Not today though.
"Not right now sweetie. I was just stepping in to let you guys know I'm about to go to Dad's office." Carson sat up abruptly. "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, I just need to talk to him."
"Is it about Dawson? He still isn't here?" Carson knew about my worries obviously.
"No. He isn't." I tried not to show my true feelings about the situation, so I changed the subject. "While I'm out, do you two want anything?" They're thinking faces were so fucking cute. Kole perked up first. "Can you get me a snickers smoothie?" I nodded. "Since he's getting a smoothie, get me a reese's one," Carson said.
I walked over and leaned down and gave Carson a peck on the lips before doing the same to Kole. Except he grabbed my face and deepened the kiss. Again, if this was any other time, Kole's gesture probably would have me ready to jump in bed with them. Especially with the knowledge that they were already naked under the cover.
After Kole finally let my bottom lip go, I pulled back. "Geez sweetie, I'll be back."
Kole grinned, almost shyly. "I know. I just...really wanted to do that." I smiled back and headed out the door.
Thirty minutes later, I was pulling into the parking lot of my dad's building. I wasted no time heading up to his floor. The receptionist grinned as I approached her. Seconds before, I overheard her tell a guy my dad wasn't seeing anyone. Maybe I should wait until he was off work.
"How can I help you?"
"I'm here to see my dad."
"Your dad? Geez, are you one of his sons. Which one?"
Weird. "Manny."
"Nice to meet you Manny. Your dad talks about you guys all the time." The lady checked her computer before continuing. "He has himself block from any visitors right now but I'll call him anyway. She dialed a number and my dad's deep voice came through the phone.
"Yes?"
"Sorry to interrupt sir, but your son Manny is here to see you."
Dad didn't waste one second before replying "Send him in."
"This way..." she led me to the double doors at the end of the hall. After letting me in, my dad thanked her and let herself out, closing the door.
Dad took his glasses off and backed away from his desk. "Son? What's wrong?"
I strolled closer to him but stopped at the corner of his desk. Dad must've knew from his psychic powers what I need because he reached out and grabbed my hand, pulling me over to him. Instead of simply sitting on his lap, I straddled him. The desk chair creaked now that it was holding twice the weight as before but dad didn't tell me to get up. He simply rubbed my back. Before I could say anything, Dad gripped both my ass cheeks and lifted me up in one stride, walking us over to his couch. The man was strong because I didn't feel any strain from him while lifting me. He sat and laid down along the couch. I got comfortable and rest my head on his shoulder, nestling my face in his neck.
We didn't say anything for a few minutes until he patted me softly on my butt. "What's wrong Manny? Is this about Dawson?"
Of course he knew. "Have you heard from him?" Dad sighed. "Yes."
