A BREEZE ON THE GRASSLAND

CHAPTER SIX

June 8^th Sunday 20………

I woke today seven at morning. It was raining out and I did not want to get up from the bed. However, I know mom would be knocking on my door within minutes and telling me to wake up and get ready to go church. So, get up from the bed and went to the bathroom to fresh me up.

I was ready and sitting in the drawing room when mom comes from the kitchen with coffee for me.

"Nick…. You are ready…” she said.

"Yes…I am.” I kissed her good morning. She kissed me back.

"I think there is a lot of things are changing. Do you have any hint of it..?” she asked dad as he came.

"No…. but I can guess…” he replied.

If they know something I did not know. I looked each other frowning. Dad slapped my shoulder.

"He is a man now…”

This I know. But I did not have time to waste. I told them I was going to church early, because I want to meet the other boys in church quire. With that I took my umbrella and walked to church. I played violin and need to know what songs they are singing today. However, I need not to worry. I was the routine and same songs as before. Our priest is from old days and believed in keeping the tradition.

My heart pounded as I search the people sitting in the church. Melvin was sitting the men’s section. He was looking at me whole the time. I rolled my eyes to him and he looked away. But he was looking at me when I looked again. I saw Clara Ma’am too. I smiled when she looked. I saw mom sitting two rows behind her and watching us as we smiled.

After church, I introduced them to each other. Melvin was with us so I had to introduce him too. We hid our hatred very cleverly and shook hands. I pressed his hand more than necessary and he winced.  Mom and dad took her to introduce to their friends. Caroline went with them. Therefore, we were alone. We looked at each other. He started to walk away from me but I put my hand around his shoulder in a friendly way and close him to me.

"Why did you watch me whole time I was playing…?” I asked.

"Why did you think I was looking at you?” he asked but stay calm. He knew he could not make scene with everyone around us. "Are you got something I didn’t have?”

"You don’t know…?” I smiled viciously. "Here…” I closed back to him and pressed my loin bulge to his back. I had hard on as always he was around me. I looked around if anyone was watching us. But they wasn’t. I grabbed his hand with my other hand, took it over my bulge, and forced him to pat there. Then I moved beside him and then stick my hand through his shirt. I touched his nipple and squeezed it between my fingers. He bit his lip and stood straight. His face got redder.

"One of these days, I am going to fuck that cute little hole you got between your buttocks with my special thing.” I whispered sweetly to his ear and smiled as I saw our parents coming.

"Oh…I am waiting.” He whispered back and smiled.

"Why do you both smiling…?” Caroline asked.

"He was saying some jokes about the people around us...” Melvin said.

We walked together to home. Dad did not take the car because of the rain. Ma’am told my parents how she bathed me in mud on our first day in school and how I want to revenge her. Melvin stole glances and curved his mouth whenever our eyes met. I want to punch him but controlled. When we turned to our home mom and dad invited them to our home. She excused for another day but agreed when mom said she is taking Melvin with us. Melvin was shocked as I was. He said something he had to do something with Martin today after lunch but Ma’am said it could wait.  

Melvin was answering my parents’ and Caroline’s questions and I smiled all the time like a fool. He was polite with them and I know they liked him. I was a little jealous because I did not like someone sharing my parents other than my sister.

We met Jijo on the way. I asked him where he was going and he said to the market. His grandparents and mother is going to meet his aunt in another village. He is not going. I knew he was telling me indirectly he would be available. Melvin and Jijo looked at each other and I had a clinch that they did not like each other at first sight.

Sarah had prepared lunch and was waiting. She was pleased because one more person is come to praise her cooking skills. Melvin satisfied her with his sweet voice. Of course the lad knows how to please someone. However, I am not falling for his act because I know him.

Later mom said me to see him around our house. I took him with me. I show him around and take him to my room at last. I opened the door and stepped inside then wait for him. As he entered I locked the door from inside. He did not seem to care. He knew he is alone with me in my room.

He checked each thing in my room. I opened my closet and took a jeans and T shirt to change. He was inspecting my music collections. I removed my clothes then changed into jeans and T shirt.

"May I take this to home? I will return after listening.” He asked.

He had selected some of my CDs. I nodded. He was nervous and scared. Perhaps he was thinking I will do something awful to him because we were alone. Poor kid, he had no idea I cannot, because everyone was home and I was afraid to do so.  He looked at the bookrack and the binocular.

"I love to watch birds.” I said.

"Oh… then it was one of your birds that crossed us when we are coming.” he said.

I glared at him. He lowered his eyes and sat down on the chair. I crossed the distance between us and stood in front of him. He raised his face to look me but his eyes stopped at my middle and widened.

"Look kid….” I hissed. "What I do is none of your business. So do not try to cross me ever. In addition, do not call Jijo a bird. He is better than you are and if you want to know I am fucking him daily since the last three years. If you are thinking I got something for you in here...” I pointed to my heart. ……. "Then you are wrong.”

He was silent and did not raise his eyes from my middle. I felt like a fool. I sat on my bed and looked through the window. What had I said to him? I heard him raising from the chair and searching through the books.

"May I take these books too….” He asked again. "They are stories and I will…..”

"Take whatever gives pleasure to you. Do not ask me. You are welcome.” I said without looking him.

I gave him my rucksack to keep the books and CDs and opened the door. He did not say thanks. What he is thinking…? We joined others in drawing room.

"What are you carrying in that bag…. son?” dad looked at the rucksack on his back.

"Nick gave me a number of of his CDs and Books.” Melvin smiled and looked at me as if I am his favorite friend.

"He is returning it……” I clarified.

Dad looked at mom and Sarah. "I think monsoon is changing to summer.” He said to them and they nodded. We children did not understand what he said.

"But uncle…. Monsoon is not changing to summer. Winter will came after monsoon.” Melvin said.

"It’s changed from today. My son Nick changed it. You know son….? All these years I never had seen Nick give his stuff to anyone other than his sister. He is very possessive of his stuff and you can say maybe….hmmm….selfish.”

Everyone laughed. Blood rushed into my face and the blush was very deep. I stomped out from the room and called Melvin.

"I’m going out. If you want to go now I will take you home.”

"Where are you going…..Nick?” mom asked.

"Martin’s.” I replied. Actually I did not think but said what came to my tongue then.

"Then take an umbrella.” Mom suggested.

"It’s not going to rain, mom.”  However, mom gave the umbrella to Melvin. He said bye to everyone and agreed coming on free times. I waited for him at the gate and called mom I would be late.

We walked slowly and were silent. I got impatient of the silence between us because I want to ask him something. I cleared my throat many times but he ignored me.

"What was it you and Martin planned for today?” I asked him.

He looked at me and frowned. "What you and Jijo are doing since last three years.”  He said looking straight into my eyes.

I stood there staring him. He smiled and winked. I paled and something shattered in my heart. Martin got his prize. I felt the pang in my chest. How could he doing this to me…?

"We are did it yesterday. However, it was in a hurry. Therefore, we decided today we will take more time and he promised me I would enjoy It.” he smiled more and did not feel ashamed. He took a step then turned to me.

"What happened…? You are pale and sweating. Come on…” he was enjoying this.

"No. I just remembered something. Bring the umbrella to school tomorrow.” I turned and walked fast to my favorite place in the bush. I knew Jijo was waiting for me but I did not want to see anyone now. I want to be alone. I was not caring when Martin told me before.

I parted my way through the bushes and to the tall tree standing near the bottom of the mountain. The dry leaves were decaying on the earth. I lay under the tree on that decaying leaves. My chest was throbbing. Tears came and rolled down to my temples. Why did I cry? What was I hoping from Melvin? I did not know. Am I in love? No. I not love him. I shut my eyes tight and tried to forget everything. Nothing had happened between us. As thinking I fell into sleep.

I had a dream and in it Martin and Melvin was together. Melvin was sucking Martin and I was watching them sitting before them on a chair and was fully naked. My hands and legs tied and my mouth gagged. Martin laughed at me as I sat there watching there movements. I wake startled. It was raining hard and I was soaked. I get up and walk home through the rain.

I opened the kitchen door and went direct to my room. Dad and mom was in their room so Caroline. Sarah was watching TV. I pressed my finger to the lips and shook my head. She nodded. In my room I locked my door and peeling off my clothes, opened bathroom. I threw the clothes, picked a towel, and dried me. I came back to the room fully naked and lay down on the bed. I did not when sleep came to me. When mom waked me it was nine at night. I woke and did not know where I was. I sat on the bed and stared at the darkness.

I called mom and said I would be down for supper within two minutes. I turned on the switch and opened bathroom. In the bathroom I looked at my face. My cheeks and eye lids swelled because of sleep. I washed my face clean and combed my hair. Then I picked a trouser and pulled it to my waist. Grabbing a T shirt I opened the door and wearing it I climbed the stairs down to the kitchen.

They were waiting for me. Before them asking, I explained them I had leave Melvin at his door and came back to home. It had rained and I get soaked. Because of the cold I had slept and did not have the idea of time. Sarah supported me and they believed me.

After supper, I spent my time watching TV. Everyone had said goodnight to me and went to sleep. I watched TV about midnight. I was not sleepy. Sleep did not came to me whole the night. I spent whole night turning and stirring on the bed and cursed Melvin because he told me about him and Martin. I am going to fuck that kid until him pleading me to stop. I took my oath and felt relieved.

June 12^th Thursday 20……..

Many things happened on these last three days and today. Some of them were good to me and of course there were bad things too. I went school on Monday morning as a new Nick. I behaved as before and did not keep a grudge to Martin. What had I got hold against him? He tried and got his prize. I did not try. I only dreamed. Now I knew I was in love and of course it got me nowhere. The lost in my heart was huge. The corner I left for Melvin in heart was empty. Nobody can fill it. Now it was not love I have for him but loathing. 

I kept my bike home and walked to school and back. Because monsoon got heavier and it continues rained the whole day and night. The atmosphere was very romantic. I like walking in the rain. Therefore, I folded my pant legs at knee and picked my umbrella then walked to school and back and as walked made planning for the day.

I was very friendly with every one at school. I wished Martin good luck for his success with Melvin. I asked about Melvin to Clara ma’am when she came near to my desk. He was fine. She told me she needed to speak me so meet her when I would free. I told her I would meet her after school. For lunch break I had another plans.

At the first interval after the first two periods in the morning’, I went to the shop near the school gate and bought one thick tube of Vaseline and keep it in the inner pocket of my uniform jacket. I met Melvin on my way back at the corridor. He was with his friends. I paused before them and called one of the boys.

"Peter…. How are you…?” I knew his name because he is with us for music practice. He is a skinny kid about the height of Melvin. He looked like he is five years old because of his round face.  

"Me…” he was surprised at my sudden friendship. "I am fine…. Nick….”

"Wanna join me at lunch…” I asked and never looked at Melvin.

"Sure…..” he was delighted at my invitation. He looked proudly at others then me with full bloom.

"See you then….lad.” I slapped his shoulder affectionately and looked sideways at Melvin. His cheeks had swelled like a balloon and his face darkened.

"Come on…. "He yelled at others and glared me as if he wanted to hit me. I winked at him and hummed as walked.

Peter was waiting for me at the corner of the lunch room. His table was empty. He smiled when I entered. I waved at him and walked straight the table. I patted his shoulder as sitting the opposite chair. I saw Melvin sitting the other side of us with other boys. They are watching us but when they saw I was looking they start eating suddenly. I asked Peter about his class and his music. He talked a stream of sentences. He was pleased to have me as a friend. He looked at me with admiring looks. He was eager to please me and I knew that.

I saw Melvin watching us. His friends were watching too. Good. We had finished our lunch. I asked Peter if he would like to have some ice cream. Yes. I took him to the parlor and ordered one for him because I do not like ice creams. I knew Melvin was watching our each moments together because I felt the twinge back on my neck. We walked together the corridor leading to the science labs. After the lab there stand the old building. Not a soul went there because it has a haunted look.

We stopped at the end of the building. I looked back but the corridor was empty. I called Peter and walked to the end of verandah. There I stood beside the pillar and Peter joined me. Nobody can see us from there. I told him about my hobbies and me and asked about his. He had nothing except his music.

"I want to join your bird watching. Could you teach me.?” he asked.

Sure. I was eager to teach him what I knew. Minutes passed and we had nothing to talk. We gaped at the rain falling on the old building. We smiled at nothing when our eyes met. Peter stood leaning on the pillar and tied his hands behind him. I searched him up and down and he blushed.

I moved behind him, put my hands down to his shoulder, and closed him to me. We said nothing to each other. He leaned to me and I pressed me to him. My hands rested on his stomach and stroked his stomach. He breathed fast. His fingers were touching my bulging crotch and I pressed to his fingers. I bent my head and kissed his neck. My fingers massaged his stomach. He trembled. My chin rested on his shoulder. I was breathing hot. My fingers moved down on his jerking stomach. I dig my fingers through the waistline of his pant and underwear. His body went weak and I supported him with pressing me to him. My fingers searched in his underwear. He was semi harden and I teased his cock. He leaned his head back as I kissed him.

"Pete….” I whispered.

"Hmmm…..”

"Do you like me…?”

 "Hmmm….” His voice trembled.

His fingers grabbed and pressed on my hardened cock. He was trying to open my zipper. I pulled my middle back and he pulled the zipper down. My cock was hardened as a rod and was warm. His fingers ran over my brief. He found the waistline, poked his fingers inside my brief, and seized my cock. He pressed it hard. We both breathed hard. He massaged my hardened tool bottom to top and forced the foreskin down. Then rubbed and massaged my dick head. I jerked and pre cum oozed to his fingers. He stopped rubbing my cock head but I said its okay. He continued.

I turned him to me. He was shy and smiled shyly. I leaned him to the pillar and embraced him tightly. He still seized my hardened shaft in his fist and pressed. I kissed him on mouth and thrust my tongue in his mouth. He eagerly sucked my tongue. I sucked and squeezed his lips and squeezed his buttocks hard.

"Pete….” I released his mouth and pressed his flushed and weakened body to me.

"Ummmm….” He breathed and continued teasing my dick.

"It’s time to go. Otherwise they will doubt us...” I whispered.

He looked at me sadly. I patted his back. "We will meet tomorrow the same time. Meet me here and do not say anything to them. Okay….?”

He nodded and released my cock. His fingers were wet with my pre cum. I gave him my hanky and told him to clean his fingers. He did as I told. I gave him my comb and he brushed his hair straight and wiped his lips. I know this was enough for the beginning. I had woken him now. He wanted more and he would come to me.

"We can't today. They had seen us.” I explained.

"I am not going to say we were here and what we did. I will say you went to your class and I was in the shop outside the gate.” He smiled.

I nodded. We kissed once more and he went looking back. I stood there to calm me. My dick stood erect and I pushed it back in my underwear and closed my zipper. I waited for my dick to soften. I wished for someone would come and cool me. I massaged over my cock, straightened the bulge, and waited five minutes more. Then I walked down to the corridor and saw Peter coming. I waited for him to come. He smiled as coming and I frowned.

"Nick…” he called. He stood panting and was shy.

"Nick…. You can come to my house with me after our practice. Dad and mom will be at work and not coming until seven. No one would there to disturb us and we have the whole house for us.” he said in a breath and looked at me. His eyes sparkled with hope.  

"You can't wait...ah?” I smiled and patted the kid on shoulder. "Okay…you go first after our class. I know where your house is and I will join you there later. We cannot go together. We don’t need they talk about us…..”

"All right Nick…..” he paused.

"I will not be late. I promise.” I assured him.

He smiled delightedly and ran back to his class. I stood there watching him and smiled at my success.
