I freely admit, I don't know about this chapter, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. Chapter 8 Kyle slept hard and long into the morning. He didn’t usually think too much about dreams, but this one had him sitting and thinking for awhile before he got up. He was in a boat, like the one his grandparents once had when he was a kid. Big and white on a large lake filled with other small boats in the distance. He was delighted to be on the water. There was such a feeling of freedom and peace that came from being out there. He loved it when his family would go and he used to sit at the bow of the boat to feel the dips and waves as he sunbathed in the warm sun. As he sat in the same spot feeling so peaceful, Oliver sat down next to him. His whole face lit up, ‘This is fantastic. I’ve never had so much fun in my life. What shall we do next?’ Kyle squinted his eyes to the sun as he looked at Oliver and smiled. He looked so cute in his swim trunks and T-shirt. He couldn’t help but reach out to him and tease. ‘What would you like to do, hmmm? Bet I can guess.’ Oliver grabbed him and wrapped him up in a big kiss. ‘I bet you can.’, he said quietly. He held Kyle close as they fell back into the cushions behind them. He moved his lips to Kyle’s ear. ‘What do you want to do?’ Kyle moved to look at him, his heart so full, and said, ‘I would love to do anything with you, Oliver.’ As he moved his mouth and body closer, he said ‘Right now, I want to thank you for being here with me. And then I want to thank you again.’ Oliver smiled and said, ‘My thought exactly.’ The scene dissolved into them both laughing and jumping into the water. The sun was bright and the water warm. They instinctually moved together and held each other close as they drifted under the water. As they wrapped themselves around each other, Kyle started to lose his breath. He began to feel frantic and pushed Oliver away to get to the surface. He couldn’t trust that he would make it. As Kyle gasped in air, he found himself alone. The sky had turned dark and the lake choppy with wind and waves that lifted him high and low. Frantically, Kyle called and searched for Oliver. The water was so dark; he couldn’t see anything underneath. The lake was rough and filling his mouth with water as he called out. His whole body started to freeze with the fear and then he got angry. Angry that he had let Oliver do this to him. The emotions were so strong that he was barely able to keep himself afloat. Nick wrapped him in a large soft towel and hugged him as he climbed the ladder into the boat. ‘There is time for another swim later tonight if you want to before we head back, but dinner’s ready now.’ He planted a quick, strong kiss on his lips and moved him over to the large assortment of food he had prepared. Kyle was ravenous and everything tasted great. ‘Wow, that’s so good,’ he said to Nick. ‘I didn’t know you could cook like that.’ Nick smiled, ‘It’s amazing what you can do for someone you love.’ Kyle felt his heart jump and his mouth curve into a smile. He leaned over and kissed Nick with a strength he hadn’t felt before. Kyle sat at the bow of the boat once again; this time finding himself looking out at the night sky. It was too beautiful to take in. He breathed and watched the stars get brighter and brighter. Oliver sat down next to him and wrapped him up in his arms. ‘It’s so beautiful isn’t it? I could stay out here forever with you.’ Everything around Kyle started to spin and sink as if he were losing consciousness. He reached out to Oliver not knowing if he would be there or not. He instinctually reached out anyway. And this time, Oliver was there holding him as the spinning started to cease. ‘Breathe. I’ve got you. Trust me. You need to trust me. I have never gone anywhere. I’m always right here with you.’ As Kyle awoke to those words ringing in his ears and the dream still before him, he sat for awhile and turned the dream over in his mind. There were still a lot of questions, but he thought he got the basic message. Well...he thought he did. As he slowly moved out of bed, he tried to focus on what he really wanted. What was he going to say? But this time, his mind couldn’t cooperate. He sat in indecision for a moment then grabbed his running shoes. At least this time he knew exactly what he wanted. |

I am loving this story as well, been reading since the beginning of the story, but haven't commented until now, can't wait to see what happens next, but you have done a good job with the suspense, so I don't know what will happen next. Like the suspense. Also liked the imagery of the dream. Keep up the good work. Sarah |
