Chapter 39

** So yesterday was ObsessedwithTidam's birthday. She has been wanting an update of this story for some time now. I was hoping to post it for her birthday but wasn't able to finish it in time. So, it's just a little late. LOL

"Stop run..ning, Austin." Tim says as he tries to catch his breath as his friend pulls him along. He stumbles over a root that was across the path.

"Austin, be careful." Adam calls out as he tries to catch up.

"You're going to kill myself." Tim says as he pulls his arm away from the shorter man. "You're going to cause me from seeing the sight..seeing if it passes by."

"I'll make sure you don't miss anything, Sweetheart." Adam says as he takes Tim by the hand. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay. Austin almost made me fall on my face because of that log." Tim says as he points to the root.

"Calm your happy ass down." Chance laughs as he wraps his arm around his lover's waist.

"Sorry but I want to make sure we see everything." Austin smiles and shrugs his shoulders.

"Honey, we have all weekend." Chance says as he kisses him on the temple.

"Adam. Wait." Tim says, stopping in his tracks. "There's something moving. See?"

Adam looks to where Tim was looking among the high palmetto plants.

"Oh, look." Adam smiles as he takes out his phone to take pictures. "Those are a couple of the wild horses that roam the island."

"Are they dan..ger..ous?" Tim asks as he watches the horses graze through the tall grass.

"No, I'm sure they are used to people being on the island. They would probably just move away from you if you get too close." Adam says as he takes a few pictures.

They continue to walk up the path. They explore the ruins of the old plantation and the small church that was the first African-American Baptist church.

"Isn't this the church that John Kennedy Jr. got married?" Nate asks.

"Yeah. I've seen pictures of their wedding here." Adam answers.

"Do they live here on the is..land?" Tim asks as they are leaving the church.

"No, Babe, he and his wife were killed several years ago in a plane crash." Adam says as they walk along.

"Well, d*mn. That's sad." Tim says causing Adam to snap his head around and look strangely at his dark-haired lover.

"What?" Tim asks.

"Where did you learn that word?" Adam asks as he tries to keep from laughing.

"Which one?" Tim asks innocently.

"D*mn." Adam answers. "It's a bad word."

"You say it. I've heard Chance, Austin, Chris and Nate say it. I guess that's where I learned it from." Tim sasses with a raised brow.

Adam didn't know how to reply. He could hear the others snickering behind them.

"Oh, look. There's a sign pointing to the beach." Adam says quickly in order to change the subject.

"Come on let's go!" Austin giggles as he grabs Chance by the hand and begins to run up the sandy path.

"The last one to the beach is a rotten egg!" Nate yells as he too begins to run.
