Summer, 1983 (I'll call you by mine)

Promise?

The last few weeks had gone by quickly, David had less than two weeks left. David was leaving the first week of August. Oliver had extended David's stay by another week because of the family trip to London. David and Christopher had become close again, no close calls with anything physical. It had been hard but Christopher knew it would ruin everything.

Everyone sat at the breakfast table.

"Boys, Elio and I are going to Florence for a few days so you all are going to stay with Marzia while we are gone." Oliver said breaking the shell of his egg.

"What? I'm 17 I don't need a babysitter." Christopher got upset by this news.

"I know you're 17 but we aren't going that far without you two being supervised."

"Sophie, Nona and David are all here how are we going to be unsupervised?"

"Mr. Adler, I can keep an eye on the boys if you need me too." David said taking a drink of his juice.

"Thanks, David but you are just required to take care of yourself, my sons can be a handful sometimes. It's Sophia's job to take care of Nona not the two of you. Besides I thought you'd be happy staying at Valentina's house. That way you don't have to sneak out to have sex." Oliver grinned at his son who was looking at him with disbelief.

"What I'm not doing that."

"I'm not stupid, Christopher. Elio and I know you sneak out at midnight every night. Marzia and Elio talk, Elio and I have no secrets."

"Oh God, this is a nightmare!" Christopher groaned putting his head on the table. Jona was dying laughing next to him.

"Oh, I don't know why you're laughing so much Jona. We know you've locked lips among other things, with about every girl your age in a 20-mile radius. We are staying in a small town people talk. I swear as long as you two are safe and don't make me a grandfather before I'm 50 I'm fine with it." Oliver sounded annoyed now. Jona stopped laughing and Christopher got panicked had anyone seen him and David that night on the Berm?

"Wow, you're in a rare mood this morning aren't you dear?"Elio asked.

"What? I'm just letting them know that we know everything. And please tell me you're not having sex Jona."

"No, I swear!"

"Jona?" Oliver looked at him questioning his answer.

"I mean I've come close but I'm not doing it, I swear Dad!" Jona was panicked. Christopher looked at him, he was even a little disbelieving in his little brothers' words.

"Alright, Alright" Oliver was finally giving up on the conversation. As the two boys were putting this dishes in the sink Christopher questioned his little brother.

"So you're still a Virgin?" Christopher asked.

"Well yeah."

"I don't believe you, What are you holding back?"

"Shhhh I don't want dad and Elio to hear everything you know " Jona huffed waving off his brother.

"Who was it, Marta?"

"No"

"Julia?"

"No"

"Lea?"

"No Christopher stop I'm not telling you."

"Christ Jona I tell you everything." Christopher tossed a hand towel at his brothers head.

"Ok fine! There was a girl at your birthday party she was one of Julia's friends and we snuck a bunch of wine. We got really drunk and we started kissing, and you know she asked me to put it in her, you know what. So I did!" Jonas' face turned bright red. Christopher began to laugh.
