ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON ELEVEN

Episode 174

Nigel and Nicholas arrived at the courthouse , parking Nicholas' Rolls Royce in the attached parking garage.

As they stepped out of the car Nigel felt a wave of extreme dizziness come over him. His head spun and he reached out to grab his father's arm firmly. He closed his eye and took a deep breath. This was happening way too much lately. Maybe it was a side effect of his lupus meds. Wait.... Had he even taken his medicine that day? He had gotten up early. Earlier than Richard and the kids. He had wanted to work on some things in the study. Take a couple of calls. Answer some emails. So yeah taking his medicine had slipped his mind. Usually Richard would remind him but lately he hadn't been spending much time with his husband. Or the kids. Or even his mother and other family.

Nicholas steadied his son and said with concern in his voice," Nigel, are you alright? I've been meaning to mention it to you. Your health? Is everything alright with the lupus? You don't look well. I appreciate your hard work with the company, son. But I don't want you overwhelmed. Maybe you should take some time off. Take the family to Hawaii on the plane. Enjoy yourselves. "

Nigel shook his head as they slowly began to walk to the courthouse. " Sounds nice, Dad. Really nice but not now. I'm swamped at work . And the kids have school. Maybe around Christmas though. A nice family vacation would be good then. "

His dizziness was starting to lessen a little but he resolved to take his pills as soon as he got inside. Then he mentally groaned as he remembered that he had left them at home.

Dave yawned as he rolled over in his bed in his uncle's house. He was so wasted from last night at Club J. He loved working as a bartender there. Great tips, free booze , music, horny sexy men; what was not to love? Not to mention that there was an additional bonus of the extra thousand dollars Joe Jacobs put in his bank account every month. Money to keep him quiet.

But, he thought idly as he pouted , it was not enough money. Of course even Joe couldn't be bled dry. He had plans though. He was googling out of boredom one day and stumbled onto something really useful to him. He had found out just how rich little Alfred Giadello really was. He was almost up there with Uncle Gerald. He had nearly come in his pants when he had learned that. He couldn't believe he had found a newer better Lyle. Only he needed to figure out a way to separate his future meal ticket from his uncle. The two were almost disgustingly close and rarely separated. Uncle Gerald had even built a ramp on the front of the house just for Alfred.

Of course, he mused. It shouldn't be all that difficult a task. After all, even with the pounds his uncle was losing steadily from his daily gym visits and new diet , he was still sexier, smarter, cuter and more interesting than Uncle Gerald. Besides how hard could it be winning a loser like Alfred?

He closed his eyes and fantasized about Alfred showering him with money, trips , clothes, art supplies. All while he smiled and played with himself.
