The Sins of Cowboy Colby Slade

Changes

The week had flown by and both myself and Luke had loved our stay here but, we knew that tomorrow we would be headin back home. I was lookin forward to seeing my Mom, but not him! I was going to go over to the house with Colby, as we had already discussed, then we'd try to sit and talk like adults. The thought alone scared the shit out of me, I knew my father's options on homo's or fags as he liked to call us, I fuckin hated him, but I knew I had to face the devil at some time. I was also really worried about Mom, we spoke briefly yesterday and I could hear "him" in the background tellin her what to say, she sounded broken if I'm honest and was insistin we stay over a little while longer, that alone was enough to make me suspicious, and was another reason I'd asked Colby to come with us, because at that point I knew somethin was wrong.

We'd had a bit of a family talk together the other evenin and Colby had asked me to move in with them all, I'd accepted but, I needed to know Mom and Luke were safe first. I'd told Colby all about my father and his beatins, and how I'd try to protect Mom and Luke, but it was gettin harder to do so, I wasn't sure what to expect on my return. Colby was fumin about my father and said we needed to file a report on him but, I couldn't do that..yet! 

Today was going to be our last day together for a week, i'd given myself just under a week to pack and sort things out with Mom and Luke, I needed to know they would be safe before I left. Today, I "helped" out in the stables and in the different pastures, Colby and I couldn't keep our hands off each other, we explored every inch of each other's bodies in the most sensual ways, he's awoken somethin inside of me, and any chance we got we took it, we made love and, we fucked on and off all day, I was fuckin knackered but in the most beautiful way, how we managed to get all our jobs done in-between I really don't know!

We'd decided to go into town as the weather was much better, still rainin and blowin but there was no longer a warnin in our area! Gettin ready in what was now "our room" I put on my jeans I'd washed and one of Colby's jumpers, I wasn't small by any means, but it still swamped me. Arms wrap around my middle, while he rested his head on my shoulder, I looked in the mirror at the handsome cowboy who is all mine and cant help but smile!

"I'm gonna miss this ya know, if you're not back here in 5 days, im commin to get ya!" I know he means every word, I turn my head to place a kiss on his nose..

"I'm gonna miss you too cowboy! I'm hopin I can sort things out quicker, this feels like home now Col, you, me and the gang!" Suddenly goin out doesn't really appeal to me any more, I feel a little sad about goin back..

"Hey everything will be just fine, I'm just gonna miss ya that's all, now let's go, everyone's waitin for us"..

The drive to the diner was a quiet one, Luke and Clay were glued at the hip and kept sharing little looks which i'd noticed happenin for a few days now, this was somethin I'd bring up with him once we were back home but, I had a feelin they had a little somethin goin on between them, it didn't bother me in the slightest as long as they were careful and respectful of each other and their feelins. 

Even little Cand was quieter than usual, she wanted to hold both mine and Col's hand at any opportunity she got!...She caught us all by surprise the other night, as per usual as we were eatin, she had her usual "lots of chatterin" as we called it, some funny and some...well fuck,point right blunt!...She caused both me and Col to choke, Cass and the boys tried, but failed to hide their laughter, but little Cand, you had to hand it to her, she knew how to get attention! Her "chatterin" this time was directed to me...obviously when I had my mouth full of chicken roast... 

"When you come back Jess, will you be my new Ma seen as Col's my new Pa?"..OMFG I remember lookin at Col who had a big fuckin grin on his face...I'd tried to wiggle out of the situation with saying I could be like her uncle, but she were havin none of that, she wanted me to be her Ma because I now did her hair, helped her get dressed, and did "Ma stuff"  I told her I cant be her Ma because I was a man, but the cheeky little fucker just giggled...This was something we'd deal with once I moved in...Honestly that kid has an halo on her head with the tiniest little horns stickin out under her dark curls!

The diner had quite a few folks in, I suppose after all the bad weather an all, it was nice to get out!  

No one seemed to give me and Col a second glance when we walked in holdin hands, that's possible because my cowboy was built and, stood for no shit from anyone, I couldn't love him more for it!

We'd been seated for only a few moments when I saw Chief Brady approachin our table..

"Hey guys, nice to see you finally found someone boy!" He looked genuinely happy at both Col and I as he patted my mans back..

"I just wanted to speak with you Jesse, if possible in private, I won't take up too much of ya time" ... He looked over at Col to make sure this was OK, he gave my hand a quick squeeze before I quickly muttered what I wanted to eat and drink before following the Chief outside...

"Now don't go worryin boy, your Ma told me you are back home tomorrow, is that right?" I felt a sickness swirlin in my stomach...

"Yeah, is everything OK?"..my nerves obviously showin as I caught the look on his face.

"One of the neighbors reported a disturbance the other night Jesse, I called by the house myself to check on things, and it looks like your Ma and Pa had possibly had a fight, your Ma refused treatment and to press charges but, I'm hopin you can talk some sense into her when you are back there...all I'm sayin is, we are all now aware of what your Pa is doin and, I wont tolerate it Jesse, Preacher or not..understand?"

Thinkin I was gonna puke, I hold the wall...

"He's been doin this for years Chief, to all of us though. I knew somethin was wrong when we spoke the other day once the lines were up, but she said she was busy. I will speak with Ma tomorrow and see what I can do"...

"You take care of yourself Jesse, you need anything, you phone me straight away, understand?"..One things for sure lad, either you all need to move out or the Preacher does cause this ain't gonna happen on my watch.

I nod as I simply cannot get any words out, as I turn to go back in Colby is stood in the diner door way listenin, wrapping his big arms around me, I try not to sob, but it's useless...I can't let Luke see me like this..just tonight he needs this normality...just tonight...

"We'll sort it all out sweetheart I promise" He soothes while holding me tightly..I really hope so...

Once I've calmed down, we go back inside and put on our happy faces after convincing everyone that everything is OK...Im fuckin dreadin tomorrow, but at least I have Col with me.

It's time to face the devil....
