"Tommy" By Gentile Part 20 --------- "Now what?" As I hustled to the other end of the trailer I noticed for the first time Tommy's gun belt hung upon the coat rack we had just inside the front door. I was ever so grateful to see his Smith & Wesson .38 in it's holster, 100% secured. Just past the dryer & before the washing machine I could make it out clear. It was Tommy & he was sobbing. It was difficult to make heads nor tales of his complaint, but, the word "gun" came thru awfully clear. I froze and then made a short retreat, backing away from their doorway. "Tommy, no, hone… 続きを読む

"Tommy" By Gentile Part 19 [A Long Night] --------- Sitting up in bed waiting for Girl to come say her good nights, I was in a bit of panic truth be told. He was down there. I was no longer down there. "How did you let this happen?" I queried myself once again on the same subject. "He put a gun to his head." A terse whispered answer after I'd checked the open door doorway. "Cully, I'm going to change into my jammies then I'll be back down." I figured that after they'd went forward & I'd went aft after we'd finished our tea & crumpets amid the great celebration of our drive alon… 続きを読む

"Tommy" By Gentile Part 18 --------- [Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips] Got the full spread. Rarely did Girl & I splurge for Treacher's, but, with Tommy coming through like he had it was no problem. Tommy regaled us with tales of the police, mostly up north when his beat was Ames Avenue as we worked thru the Fish & the Chips & the battered hot dogs I so loved. He could tell a story too, by God. It's a knack, one I haven't got, but, Tommy certainly held, even to a case that turned out to be close to home..."Had one, Girl, not too long ago in Pap." (He'd go short for Papillio… 続きを読む

"Tommy" By Gentile Part 17 --------- Tommy called 11 straight up. "I'll get it!!!!!!!!!" She cut the corner racing in from their bedroom. Was wearing those hundred dollar jeans & a top I'd not seen before. "You have to be out of your fuckin' mind, Dale." To-my-self. "Sure, c'mon ahead, Tommy. We're waiting for you, honey. Hurry, hurry, hurry, Tommy! I can't wait to see you." She looked thru the portal twixt the two rooms. Pursed her perfectly made up lips once in my direction. Dropped the decibel & her face: "Yes, me too." That voice---in whisper, a thousand times into the o… 続きを読む

"Tommy" By Gentile Part 16 --------- I left Girl whirling about as an adorable dervish, hit the sack & fell fast asleep. "Boy, wake up." "Jesus, Girl, what time is it?" I could tell thru the curtains that the sun had yet to rise. "I have your surprise. Remember, Cully?" She was nude from the waist down, a plain white brassier held her diminutive breasts securely. "That's right, I nearly forgot." I chased sleep away. "Where is it, my surprise?" "Did you sleep naked like I told you to?" I turned back my quilts. "Yep." My blood was still coagulatin', but, I'd get there. Just a thoug… 続きを読む

"Tommy" By Gentile Part 15 --------- "Neither. Please keep going on the first coupling. Sorry, Girl." The thought of her snorkelin' him had me snortin', but, I needed to hear it in order, or, it could easily get screwed up. She was right. "Understood, Cully. He unbuttoned my pajama top." "Were you wearing your bra?" "No. You know I never wear my bra under my jammies." "He saw your breasts?" "Of course. I wanted to him to see my breasts. I wanted to be naked for him to see." "Damn, Girl, you tell this a certain way to drive me to distraction. Fuck!" "Well, it is my way, sure, but, I… 続きを読む

"Tommy" By Gentile Part 14 --------- "Cully, do you want me to tell it in great detail, or, should I just give you an overview?" We'd moved into the kitchen for a second cup of tea. This one I'd steeped while Girl used the bathroom. I was tempted to go for the overview. Something told me to tread slowly in these strange waters. "The former, in great detail." "Are you sure, honey?" "No, no, I'm not sure, but, do it anyway." "We'd finished praying, but, were still on our knees, holding hands when I spoke to him plain: "I want to be with you, Tommy.'" I closed my eyes. "Cully. Cull… 続きを読む

"Tommy" By Gentile Part 13 --------- "Cully, are you okay, puddin-head? Cully-boy?" I was human again. I'd cleared the pipes. Sure, my buns were super heated, but, my nut was broken. And my presents awaited. "I needed that, Girl. Needed it bad. It was almost medicinal. I enjoyed it, sure, yes, but, it was compulsory, trust me, youngster." I was buoyant. I grabbed the pink panties, & began clean up operations. "Cully, not with those!" She tried to snatch them from me. But, was too late. There wasn't as much as I'd imagined and it wasn't thick, nor gross after all. "I have to launder… 続きを読む

"Tommy" By Gentile Part 12 --------- It was quiet now. Just a bit of gathering as Miss released the spreader, took that and the belt and left the room. Not a word was spoken. I kept my eyes shut. It wasn't a rule, but, I didn't want to see being seen. Not now. Not her. I removed the panties, checked the gusset, satisfied I folded them neatly, then spread my favorite quilt open on the couch, laid down and facing the back awaited Girl. A kind of shock would envelope me in the aftermath of Miss visits. Like when somebody on TV gets the living daylights beat out of them-they're in shock. For… 続きを読む

"Tommy" By Gentile Part 11 --------- Panted I was to dispense of my part, comb it straight back after substituting Vitalis with Brylcreem. "Cully, it's right here for when Miss comes." She'd showed me. Twixt visits I'd secretly do the substitution, look at it in the mirrors, then shower it out before Girl arrived home from work. My hands shook as I worked it in---then hard brushed it thru. We'd put in special lighting and it helped. One morning I'd ***** her looking at her bottom with the same hour glass hand mirror as I held now. We'd found it at an area swap meet. "It's antique, boy… 続きを読む

"Tommy" By Gentile Part 10. --------- She was standing exactly where she said she'd be. Not standing, but, rather sitting upon a very large storage chest. "What now?" Next to her sat a vase of blood red roses, at least a dozen. "Thank God you didn't bring flowers." Girl was all smiles, as she stood up & waved me close. I shut 'er off. The instant silence and lack of throb a welcome relief. I was getting too old for this meat grinder. Felt liked I'd aged 10 years in the last 3 days. "What have you got here?" "Cully, give me a hug, you." I'd forgotten how she smelled. My heart flutter… 続きを読む

"Tommy" By Gentile Part 8 --------- "Cully, I've decided not to come home. I need some time to think. I'll come and get my things after you've returned to the base when your leave is up."Click I woke like a shot, convinced it wasn't a nightmare. I started right up again: "He's probably standing right next to her." "It's for the best, Girl. Don't worry, he won't bother you.........ever again." Then thinking to himself how he could wrest that Road Runner away from me. "Better check on it, son." I parted the curtains. Relieved to find it present and accounted for. Then checked again to… 続きを読む

"Tommy" Part 9 By Gentile --------- "5 o'clock, Cully, okay?" She'd called, straight up noon. I'd just finished cleaning the house. Only the vacuuming remained. "Sure, I'll be there." "Cully, Tommy is going to drop me off at the front of Skaggs and then pull into the parking lot. He doesn't want to leave until you pick me up. Isn't he sweet? So, please don't look at the parking lot in search of him. He's so nervous. And don't pick me up and hold me up in the air. And no Dutch rubs. Okay, hon?" "What's wrong, Girl?" "He's a little down this morning with having me leave and all. I tol… 続きを読む

"Tommy" By Gentile Part 7 --------- She called back that evening with a grocery list. "Now, Tommy has given me a hundred dollars walk around money, (I held the money in our family/that circa) Cully. So, you buy the groceries and I'll repay you, okay?" "Sounds good, honey." "You sound much better, Cully. I'm glad." "Yes, for sure." "Can't wait for Wednesday afternoon. Well, I am also looking forward to tomorrow evening when I see my little Cully-boy again, but, Wednesday will be a new beginning for us I believe, Cully. Sweetheart, thank you for the doing the shopping and for being so k… 続きを読む

"Tommy" by Gentile Part 6. --------- "Ride the High Country" (1962) The marriage ceremony: - "We're gathered here in the high mountains in the presence of this august company to join this man and this woman in matrimony. Now, I'm not a man of the cloth, and this is not a religious ceremony. It's a civil marriage. But, it's not to be entered into unadvisedly, but reverently and soberly. A good marriage has a kind of simple glory about it. A good marriage is like a rare a****l. It's hard to find. It's almost impossible to keep. You see, people change. That's important for you to know a… 続きを読む

"The Best Marine" A Short Story by Gentile --------- This story is dedicated to all of them; who, "scorned and covered with scars still strove with their last ounce of courage." --------- As they'd lain awake through boundless nights talking first of their hopes and dreams, then their challenges and accomplishments and finally to the house they'd aimed with the good Lord's guidance and grace to enter as the finish came into focus. Both wanted to be laid to rest in the state they'd been born. "Well, actually I don't mind joining you, Gomer." Her daddy had at one time voiced serious doubts… 続きを読む

"Danny Thomas, Founder" A short story by Gentile --------- It'd been years since they'd ended: "Why, Donald?" "Ann." His tone slightly sliced with threat. "Is there someone else?" "Christ." He started to rise then fell back into the chair. There never had been someone else and there never would be. He'd loved one woman and would love her until he went "into the dust that was always the end." "It's the sex, isn't it?" A slight streak thru her tone. Don came back, right over the top: "What sex?" "You knew the rules, Donald. My father forbids it." That forbiddance failed to stop Donal… 続きを読む

"The Goodwill of Gentile" by Gentile --------- ---1--- Finally they'd reopened. Even had a door greeter like Wal-Mart. "Good morning. This cart has been sanitized." Of course it was as crooked as a ***** hind leg. "I'll take this one, thank you." "Masks are encouraged, but, not mandatory." I hit the DVD section. Had to reverse course because they'd relocated it during the shut-down. Needed to find a new copy of "The Man in the Iron Mask." Mine had disappeared. I'd found DiCaprio in long tresses to be simply remarkably irresistible. The way the girl he was with sighed and squealed a… 続きを読む

"Sailing Away from Key Largo, Fast!" A Play By Gentile --------- ACT ONE: On the pier, at the first... DAD:::"Nora, Nora, Nooooooooooorahhhhhh." In a sing-song method. NORA: Screaming: "WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW, OLD MAN?" She rinses off her hands in the briny & treks up from the boat house. DAD: "Come here, Nora, my son's CO has come to visit." NORA: To herself. "Thank Christ, I thought he needed another diaper change." She arrives. DAD: "Nora, this is Frank. He was your husband's Conscientious Objector during the war." NORA: "No, no he's not, Dad, he's Humphrey Bogart and he's a ro… 続きを読む

"Last Date" A short story by Gentile He'd shown up with a combination of Old Spice & Jack Daniels Old #7 emanating from his pores & breath, respectively. "Mr. Grant." She wanted to admonish him, but, in her defense, did not. "Come in." "What's for dinner, Mary?" He wanted to embrace her, but, backed away at the last. She wanted to embrace him, but, backed away at the last. "The return of Veal Prince Orloff. You'll finally have your fill, Mr. Grant." Their laughter stilted & brief. There was a gleam in his eyes she'd not seen before. "You look really nice tonight, Mary." "… 続きを読む
