Italy - 1987
Darian rolled round feeling the bed no one there he opened his eyes Zeke not there Darian sat up the morning light shining into the window he stretched then leaning over to the side picking up his boxers putting them on and got up where is he Darian thought . The smell of paint hitting the bedroom Darian smiled he had had inspiration again Darian thought that's good .
The door to Zeke's study was slightly ajar Darian could see Zeke staring at one of the paintings arms folded Darian went into the room and stopped; he couldn't believe what he saw . Zeke looked round he was cross Darian saw when he came closer " Babe it was to be a surprise " . It certainly was a surprise Darian thought the painting of him lying in bed asleep naked covered half of him .So this is the secret painting he has been doing and not letting him see it .
" You hate it " Darian looks at Zeke he goes over to him laying his arm round Zeke shoulder " I don't hate it just surprised " Zeke smiled good he thought they both looked at the painting " it's for your birthday " " Really " Zeke looked round smiling at Darian " Yes really " .Darian smiles they bump heads and look round at the the painting again .
" it's a beautiful birthday present love " Darian wrapped his arms round Zeke's shoulders they kissed Darian tasted smoke from Zeke ahh he thought he had had a sneaky cigarette Darian thought . " Caught me " Zeke sniggered, cocking his head, smirking , Darian shook his head and sniffed the air Zeke chewed his lip. Shit he's goons smell something else to feel worried .
" So where would you want to hang your painting? Zeke asked, changing the subject Darian touched his arm. Zeke looked round at Darian " Babe it was just a couple puffs it makes me think" " Mmm" Darian goes over to the painting inspecting it Zeke watching him .I really do hope he likes it enough that we can hang it somewhere for only us to see .
" I was thinking we could hang it in the bedroom. '' Zeke smiled, going over to Darian, laying his arm around his shoulder. " You mean that '' Darian nods, looks at Zeke, nods again and looks back at the painting it's growing on me Darian thought and since Zeke made it for him he will treasure it .
" Only for our eyes love " Darian kisses Zeke again, his arms around his waist " off course ".
Darian and Zeke stand in the bedroom looking at the wall above the bedroom Zeke looks round at Darian I think it's the right place to put the painting " It's perfect " Darian said Zeke nodded he thought so to " I so love you right now " Zeke said kissing Darians cheek Darian sniggered looks at Zeke . " I certainly hope so " . Darian looks up at the wall at his painting Zeke whispers to Darian "You're so hot right now " Chews his lip he is so right about that Zeke thought .
Darian looks round at Zeke chewing his lip again and starting to unbutton his shirt " We have time right "while he strips Darian watching him " We do " Darian going nearer to Zeke and pinning him against the wall " They won't mind us being a little late right " Zeke asked Darian smiled who cares he thought his family was used to it by now it is his birthday anyway .
And they were a little late for Darians birthday lunch at his cousin's restaurant with some of the family. Their excuse was they lost track of the time, who are they kidding? His niece Cara thought of tucking into their meal and presents were given to her uncle .
