Alfred laughed.“Of course, it could, but one project at a time, don’t you think?”
Mason laughed.“You do make a very valid point Mr.Stockbridge.I think I’m going to be very busy for a long time to come.”
“Please, call me Alfred.May I call you Mason?”
Mason nodded.“Of course.”
Later, after Patty and Nick assured Mason that they would be back bright and early in the morning to finish cleaning up from the party they, the last couple to leave, finally walked out through the gate.Mason was about to lock the gate for the night when he saw Mitch and Molly necking in the far back corner.He chuckled to himself and left them to it.
Paul had just returned from taking a shower at the old apartment and was already crawling into bed when he asked where Mitch was.
“He and Molly are out back swapping slobbers,” Mason answered, laughing.
Paul chuckled.“As long as they don’t wake me up.‘Night Mas, see you in the morning.”
Mason grabbed a towel and his toiletries and headed off to take a shower himself.He felt slimy after sweating all day.It would be nice when the bathroom was all done, and he could settle into his new home.Tomorrow is the goal for that to happen.
When he returned from his own shower, Mitch still wasn’t back.He made up his bed on the sofa and climbed in.It had been a very long day and he was tired.After he turned off the battery powered camp-light, it didn’t take him long to drift off to sleep.Mason thought the last thing he saw was Francis smiling at him from just inside the doorway into the new living room.

Mason could feel hisbody convulse, his hips thrusting up and then ejaculate coating the head of his dick.He’d been dreaming that Francis was giving him a blowjob.When he opened his eyes, Francis was standing over him with a silly grin on his face.Mason wasn’t sure, but he thought he’d seen him lick his lips just before he faded away.
“Goodnight, Mason.Pleasant dreams.”
Chapter Twenty-Two
The next day was moreof the same.Mitch and Paul both worked on the bathroom, getting the final pieces of tile cut and placed, and then the grouting.Mason went to the bank to deposit the check he’d gotten from Nick and Patty, and then hurried over to the big box store to get some hardware for the bathroom.
He’d decided to splurge and get a new toilet and all new faucets.Mason thought he could still use the bowl of the sink, although the pedestal would be a memory before he was done.But, until he found what he was looking for, it would have to do.
When he pulled up next to the side wall of the courtyard, on the side street, he noticed a car there, so he parked a bit farther down, closer to Nick’s store.It was only a little after nine in the morning, and it was already blazing hot and the humidity was enough to make you think you were swimming, it was so wet.
“Hey, Mason.We got comp’ny,” Mitch said as he stood up.He stretched his back.“All the grouting is done.It might take a while to cure up since it’s so damn sticky outside.
“Tell me about it.”Mason wiped his forehead.“I’m going to have to think about getting some air-conditioning in here.I doubt I could sleep in this kind of weather.”
