ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON ELEVEN

Episode 93

" I love you in your jammies in early afternoon," Gerald heard as he was resting with his eyes closed in his recliner in the study. He quickly opened his eyes and sat up. To his embarrassment he saw a pensive faced Alfred leaning on his walker. He had a light weight tote bag hanging off his good arm. Embarrassed because he was caught by this particular man in mid afternoon wearing his red and black checked pajamas. He was not prone to such behavior but he had gotten caught in the rainstorm on the way home from the gym and the grocery store. Since he was not going back out again it was just easier to put his nightclothes on. Of course the most embarrassing of it was that Alfred was seeing him in old frayed looking pjs that were also a little too snug on him.

He averted his eyes from the younger man who was now perched on his walker seat and attempted to cover with his arms his bulging stomach that was hanging a little under the pj top. " What are you doing out in the storm, Alfred? It's getting really bad out there. And with those criminals running free...... It's too dangerous for you to be out. "

Alfred laughed faintly. " Gerald, I grew up in a mob family. I'm used to dangerous. I found the one Uber working tonight. Believe me I tipped him very well. It's bad out there. I had to check on you. I ... I didn't want you alone right now. I know you have Cook and Dawson but...... It's stupid I know. "

Gerald smiled as he reached for his bathrobe and put it on. At least that was big and flowing. Maybe it could help hide his flaws. That being his body. " It's not stupid. It's very sweet. I don't think anyone has ever cared enough about me to brave both a storm and escaped inmates. But I don't want you heading back out in this weather. I..... I have plenty of bedrooms. You can have one. I can help you up the stairs if you want. "

Alfred hesitated briefly before saying," That might be best. I did tell my family where I was heading but I'll send them another message a little later. And I don't mind you helping me. "

Then he smiled shyly. " I meant it. It was not a joke. I do think you are..... attractive in your pajamas. "

Gerald swallowed. " I'm not too big ? I mean I know I am. But am I too big for you? And too old? "

Alfred looked at him and his dark eyes flickered a sudden shyness and uncertainty. " No. You're just right. I told you. You're exactly what I've always wanted in a man. And I'm not just talking physically. "

Then his eyes drifted lower as he glanced down at his shoes. " I can't tie laces. I walk funny. My arm is .... floppy. I have seizures at times. I have spasms. I take a lot of medicine. I have had several surgeries. One on my spine to fix an issue there. One on my knee. Another on my foot to try to make it more stable. The doctor told my parents when I was ten that I probably wouldn't live long. He said I would die at thirty. I'm thirty seven now. " He smiled slightly. " I just want you to know what you are getting with me. I'm not a great deal. I have a lot of issues. Am I too fucked up for you? "

Gerald forgot about his desire to hide his body from this man. He swiftly reached out to pull Alfred Giadello onto his lap , slightly conscious of his stomach poking out against the man he held in his arms. He could feel the man's heart beating rapidly. He saw his tongue poke out from between his lips. He felt his dick in his jeans coming to life.

" You are not fucked up. You are the most magnificent and brave man I have ever seen in my life. "

Then he lowered his head down and his lips met Alfred's in a strong yearning kiss.
