Our Senior Year and More

Our Senior Year and More part 36

 Fast Forward…… Time is flying by, the twins are now 5 years old, although we don’t really care, Charlotte is most likely my biological daughter and more obvious Charlie is the spitting image of Josh, while both kids were born blonde, Charlottes hair is darkening more like mine with age. Charlie has Josh’s beautiful blue eyes and those little dimples when he smiles. Oddly enough I see Marie in both of them too.

  I’m a bit heartbroken, as they start school already in September. Although I’ve been spending less time with their day to day lives, I’m right here, either at the store or the farm office or the town hall, only moments away. Both kids have grown to love our untraditional blended family dearly, well I guess we all do.

 My Biggest concern is, they will be attending my old schools, the horrors, the new bullies who have replaced the old Billy Prescotts. Only our kids won’t be able to hide in the closet, ah yes that dark, dark room that not only protected me in my later school years but also was my nemesis. Today’s bullies will know our kids will have 2 dads. My heart goes out to my kids that will have to fight these stereotypes on their own. I can only hope that Josh and I can help to raise them with the knowledge and understanding they’ll need to get by. Here were are some 10-15 years since my own high school days and I still fear these bullies today that I don’t even know. They are lurking in the background, hiding, waiting for their moment to pounce and become dominant by pushing those more vulnerable, even if just to gain their own status.

 On the other hand Josh had a much different experience growing up, all the girls loved him, and the guys loved the girls, and he just came as part of the package deal, if the guys wanted the girls, then they needed Josh. Josh was also very athletic and into his sports and quickly developed a bond with his teammates, he understands the world as it is, and hopes our kids will have an experience more like his own. Of course his mom and dad also knew at an early age, and didn’t discourage him from being him either.  I was scared silly to come out, to both my friends and parents, thanks to Josh’s love and support he was with me every step of the way, how silly of me knowing now, how over time Mom and Dad and for the most part our community, have come to support me, Josh and our kids.

My busy daily schedule has put Marie in the forefront of being a stay at home mom with her side gig of daycare. We’ve grown over the years and hired two more part time people to take on after school care for some older kids and even our own will be moving to a part time care, Marie however will continue to run the under 5 year old program, the high school has even set up a program for helping for extra credit.  

 Because I’ve taken on additional responsibilities, as I’ve mentioned Maryann has moved back into the farm office and taken over many of my responsibilities as I am expanding my accounting business now with additional clients, I’ve opened a small office in a vacant storefront a few doors down from the store. I now have another business exposure to the townspeople and during tax season I’m busier than ever. I’m not at home much anymore but still I’m only 5 minutes away. We’ve installed security cameras both at the farm and our house and we all can easily tune in to any situation from a distance if need be, I’m planning on upgrading the store and my office in town with a better upgraded system as well.

 It seems that the farm/dude ranch has become a bit stagnant in incoming revenue lately, and I’ve been delving into some of the reasons why, we’ve adjusted the rents and leases on the outside businesses. And we’ve seen an increase in repairs, as the cabins are needing repairs and upgrades but not enough to make that much difference. It seems the Dude ranch while being booked out very often, isn’t selling as many trail ride packages. So essentially the Dude ranch is becoming a tourist resort area where people are coming to the luxury cabins in the woods and not booking the trail package plans, so in essence the tourist business is drawing away from the dude ranch. Several years ago we needed that tourist business and marketed toward them just to fill the place up. I decided to call a board meeting, I laugh because there really is only a board on paper, we normally only just discuss things informally, but this was my time to shine, I called Tommy, Devin, and Hulk for a true sit down meeting in the Kurtz all purpose/conference room. I asked Maryann as our main booking agent and advertising person, Josh as legal representative to attend, and myself who would make a presentation, so together we could brainstorm how to address these falling profits.

 Maryann couldn’t quite grasp why profits were stagnant or falling when she’s showing the place as booked out and really wouldn’t accept it was her fault, after all she was doing her part. I was quite shocked she was taking it so personally. A lot of things were aired out together as a group, which turned out to be good. I presented spreadsheets and pie charts and bored the heck out of Hulk, but by the time I was finished we decided that meeting formally was a good way to make things more efficient, previously Tommy would make most decisions while the farm was officially Tommy and Devin’s, and the Dude Ranch was Tommy, Devin and Hulks. Me, I was just an employee (a very close and personal employee) drawing a salary for my accounting work as well as any other work I would help by chipping in on my spare time, yet I was making most recommendations to Tommy alone, and he was making the final decisions, now I see a path to running the two businesses as separate businesses as I’ve tried to do in the past, and everyone having a say in the decisions. We adjourned and thought we’d sit on some ideas and come back in a week or so to review how each business can possibly be improved.

 A week later we met again and Devin and Tommy seemed pretty psyched and I had no idea what they were about to spring on us, probably the first time Tommy hasn’t discussed his idea with me first. This was more a laid back meeting where we had snacks food and drinks in Tommy and Devin’s kitchen. Of all the ideas that came up most were good ones but Tommy and Devin positively proposed spending more money. Yes they wanted to expand bigger and better. They proposed approaching the property owners on the other side of the (old Kurtz farm) now the dude ranch, and possibly buying it to build more cabins in the overgrown woods and using just that property for tourists and that way the Dude ranch customers had to book dude ranch packages. This way we wouldn’t have to turn down dude ranch customers because we were booked with tourists. Damn if it didn’t sound crazy enough to work, now to convince the owners of the neighboring property to sell.

 Tommy indicated that the property was owned by relatives of the old farmer Henry Samuel who had no kids, his relatives moved him out to a nursing home and the property has been neglected and overgrown, they sold off the equipment and any livestock several years earlier, he and Kurtz didn’t get along well and that was one of the reasons Kurtz left his property to Tommy’s family, yet no indication they wanted to sell it either.

 The next day I looked up the tax rolls at the town hall and got the information needed for Josh to inquire from his end. After Josh contacted them it seems there is a big dispute amongst the family members as to what to do with it, and the guy he spoke to from across the state was willing to meet us there the following weekend. I in turn asked the real estate agent in town who worked with Tommy on the Kurtz farm deal and he gave us a decent assessment on the existing buildings and property, and of course I had access to the town tax roles as well. So we were going into a discussion fully prepared.

 Jackson Samuels showed up about noon expecting to spend the night in the old house but unfortunately it was beyond livable as no one even checked on the condition over the past few years. I didn’t even know it was back there it was so overgrown. Tommy offered Jackson to spend the night in one of the dude ranch cabins, which he agreed. All in all, he seemed more than willing to want to accept an offer and take it back to the other family members, but warned us that they may not be as convinced as he was to sell it. So he took photos and our real estate guy gave him his assessment. I identified myself as a town council member and indicated that it was highly likely that the property was now on the radar and quite possibly be condemned, he was in full agreement. We left the situation with all positive vibes.

  About a week later he called regretfully to turn down the offer on behalf of his “stupid relatives” (his words). In fact there was nothing more I could do on the towns part, because they were paying the taxes. Worse yet the family members requested a lower assessment due to the fact the property was basically just land now and not a working farm. The best we could do is condemn the buildings and force them to remove them and clean it up. Josh asked for the other family member’s names and he contacted them one by one to try to convince them otherwise. While he made some headway, it still left them in a stalemate. Back to the drawing board and on with our lives.

 About a week later as I drove by I noticed a familiar blue Cadillac parked alongside the road. Damn what the fuck was Lee Jefferies doing at that property, and what drew his attention to it, a leak at the town hall?  The real estate guy? Loose lips here at the farm? All questions I needed answers to. I “U” turned once I realized it was him and pulled up alongside his car as I walked back through the overgrown thick brush. As I approached I heard voices and very quietly peered around the dilapidated old barn. There was chubby ass Lee, and damn if his pants weren’t around his ankles and he was on his knees, and there was some pretty hot guy, maybe in his late 30’s or so, fully naked, with his dick in Lee’s mouth, Holy shit as I grabbed my phone and snapped off a couple of pictures as well as a video or two. Lee was grabbing this guys ass plowing his dick deep down his throat, as he seemed to lose control and fell back against an old fence to maintain his balance as he pulled his dick from the Lee’s mouth and began spraying his creamy load on the Lee’s face. I really had no interest in seeing Lee in this way, but the guy he was with was pretty hot and appeared to work out, I found myself with an instant hard on as I tried to ignore the fact that he was with the much older out of shape downright overweight Lee Jeffries.

 After a brief rest and a chance for me to reposition, the guy got down on all fours, elbows in the dirt, knees slightly bent, with an arched back pointing his ass right up at lee. Lee slapped the hot hunks ass and mounted him like a dog in heat and his overweight body seemingly wrapped around the younger guy almost struggling to hold up under the weight. As lee took short strokes in and out continuing to hug the hunk like no tomorrow, about 20 pumps later Lee was convulsing his seed into the younger guys ass as he slid off his side falling to the ground. The younger guy stood and brushed himself off and began gathering his clothes. I escaped and ran all the way back to the car, before turning around and making as much noise as I re approached the guys and they were hurriedly still finishing straightening themselves up.

 Lee, then demeaningly asked what the hell I was doing there and I returned the question. Then the guy spoke, his name was Todd, apparently he was a nephew of Samuels and he was there to talk to Lee about buying the farm. When I introduced myself as part of the other interested party, and our dealings with Jackson Samuels and our initial offer.  Todd indicated Lee was offering much more money than us. I then nonchalantly asked lee in front of Todd about his feelings toward Gays and he seemed unusually quiet and reserved, for I knew why, but he didn’t know I knew. Lee and Todd shook hands and Todd indicated he would be back in touch soon and their conversation seemed very positive as if the deal was already sealed, as I thought to myself, yeah sealed with a Cum exchange. We all left and I immediately went to Josh and Tommy with my photos.

 Josh immediately took my phone and uploaded them to his phone and drove me, Devin, Hulk and Tommy to Lee’s house. His wife reluctantly answered the door knowing our relationship with her husband and Josh asked to speak to Lee. Lee then came to the door, not letting us in, as his wife left and headed back to the kitchen, and Josh began playing the video with the sound on as he held it in front of Lee, who immediately grabbed it covering it in Josh’s hand as they fought for the phone, Josh fully aware that Lee was trying to destroy the phone. Josh being much younger and stronger managed to get control and we left, as Lee tried to follow in pursue. The next day Lee showed up at my office in town and begged me not to show anyone and informed me he would be withdrawing his offer on the Samuels farm.

 About a week later our original offer was accepted by the Samuels family and the property became part of the Dude Ranch. Within 3 months additional trails were cut and a series of luxury cabins were planned for the hillside fields overlooking the lush trees of the state park, the current property now extends to 3 sides of the state forest land.
