CHAPTER 22: THE START OF A NEW YEAR
With the fireworks in the background of an amazing ass kiss, Jared and I were still locking lips long after the fireworks were over. I didn’t care and neither did he. Yeah, the fireworks were lighting up the sky and I am sure that somebody saw us making out, but that was the least of my worries right at the moment. I was in heaven with him and the past couple of days that we had spent together and really proven to me that I had actually fallen in love with him. Not just a little bit, I would be the first to admit that I was head over heels for this boy. I wanted to spend every waking second with him and have him hold me in his arms and never let me go.. With Jared being the bigger of us two, in more ways that one!

I always felt like I was protected. He was taller, weighed more, was more muscular, and not to mention had the bigger dick!
When I was wrapped in his arms it was just such safety net for me. I could feel that I could run to him whenever anything bad was happening and he would fight it off. That was another thing that I like about him and that was something that I knew could never change! I was so happy that I had gotten to spend the first few minutes of a new year with my boyfriend and the one that I loved so much!
After our make out session, we looked up at each other and just smiled and began kissing some more. I had my arms around the back of Jared’s neck pulling him closer to me and he had his arms still wrapped around my waist-line pulling me in closer to him. I was pretty sure that there was no space between our bodies and I was perfectly fine with that. I loved that part about us!
After kissing in the park, we sat out to find Dawson and Dylan. We hadn’t seen the two of them since we had left to go to the bathroom and neither one of us knew how long ago that was. But with a glance over in the direction of where the car was parked, we knew that they were still somewhere around when we saw Dylan’s X5 still illegally parked! After closer observation, Jared and I noticed that they car was moving a little bit. We just looked at each other and began laughing. Could the two of them seriously be in the backseat getting in on in a public park? We hesitantly approached the car, thankful that there were tinted windows and sure enough, we saw two bodies in the backseat. My best friend was having sex with my step-brother, who, up until this point, I had no idea he was even into guys. Hmmmm… who would have thought? I guess Dawson’s gaydar was better than I gave him credit.
Either Dylan or Dawson was knocking on the window and motioning for us to get in the front seat. Jared looked at me with a concerned look.
“I don’t know about you, babe, but I wouldn’t want somebody in the same room as us if we were having sex,” Jared said.
“Oh, I think it will be just fine. You’ve seen naked guys in the locker room before, and besides, I am so ready to get home. I’m freaking tired! Just get in and look forward. Surely to goodness they are dressed and will just sit back and enjoy the ride.” I replied.
He obliged and I climbed in the driver’s seat and he was in the passenger. Neither one of us looked back and I was thankful that Dylan had a backup camera on his dash! Once we were in the car and on the road back to the house, Dawson started talking to us about how this was the best New Year’s he had ever had! I was happy for him. God knows he needed to be happy for a change! He was always grumpy, and I assumed that he was insinuating that he and Dylan were now together. I was happy for them both!
Back at the house, we walked in on a roomful of drunk doctors. It was quite funny! All of them slurring and trying to impress the other specialists in the room about how one saved a man’s heart the other day while another one had replaced a lady’s hip. I just stopped in the main entrance and looked into the living room and just laughed quietly to myself. Here was a roomful of the most respectable doctors in Chicago on the verge of passing out on my living room floor. I just couldn’t grasp that. I was going to just sneak by before one of the doctors, Dr. LeRoy Yorkshire, hollered at me.
“Why, there is the one and only Junior Boudreaux,” Dr. Yorkshire slurred, and surprisingly, it was half decipherable.
“Hello, Dr. Yorkshire,” I said. “It is so nice to see you again. How is Mrs. Yorkshire?”
“Oh, that dumb bitch? She ran off with the pool guy and is somewhere down on the damn beach in Florida I think. I’m not sure. Getting rid of that ‘ol hag was the smartest thing I ever did.” Dr. Yorkshire said.
I wasn’t sure how to respond to that, but thankfully my dad took over.
“Guys, do you all remember my son Lane?” Dad said to the roomful of doctors.
They all mutter amongst themselves and eventually agreed remembering me. It wasn’t that too long ago that I was at the banquet with them, so I wasn’t quite sure why some of them were being stubborn with remembering me, but then I quickly remembered how much alcohol dad had carried in this afternoon. I quickly forgave them and on my way out, I noticed one doctor in particular who I hadn’t ever seen before. He was hot!
He had black hair, brown eyes, straight white teeth, amazing facial structure, arms bulging out of their sleeves, nice long legs, and had to have been no older than 30.
“Hi, I’m Lane Boudreaux,” I said extending my hand to him.
“That’s what I gather,” the mysterious doctor said. “I’m Ryan Portland. Dr. Portland.”
He was a douchebag. I had already drawn that conclusion. I wanted to say, “Well, no shit, you dumbass. I had no fucking idea that you were a doctor considering your in my house attending a HOSPITAL party and my dad only invited the DOCTORS,” but I didn’t. I knew that I had been raised better than that so I just politely said, “It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Portland.”
I knew that always kind of made my dad mad when somebody would call him Mr. when they knew that he was a doctor, so I thought, ‘if you’re going to be an ass to me, I’m going to be one right back.’
He shot me a go to hell look, and I returned his look with a cheesy smile. I wasn’t sure what message I wanted to send him, but I didn’t really give a shit. He let go of my hand and sat back down directing his attention to another doctor that wasn’t paying any attention to him. I just stood there to piss him off some more, when he got up and walked to the kitchen.
I thought to myself, ‘Should I follow him there and see how much he can take before he tells me off, or just go to bed?’
Well, I let the mischief kick in and I followed Dr. Portland to the kitchen. He was picking up some of the leftover cheese and crackers and was starting to eat them when I walked in and poured me a shot of Crown.
“So,” I said. “Are you still in your residency or have you started practicing yet?”
“Residency,” He said sternly while glaring at me.
“Oh, that’s nice,” I replied. “Are you just sticking with general practice or are you going to specialize in an specific area?”
“Don’t know,” He said.
“Well, I guess you have to figure it out before you can decide on something,” I fired back.
I poured another shot.
“Are you pursuing your Osteopathic or your Medicine Degree?” I asked.
“Osteopathic,” He replied very monotone.
“Ohhhhh,” I said while wrinkling my nose.
I finished my shot and turned to go.
“Excuse me?” Dr. Portland asked.
“Yes, Mr. Portland?” I said as I turned back around.
“It’s DOCTOR Portland and what was that sneer about?” He asked blatantly.
“No, considering your going for a DO and not an MD, it’s Mister Portland, and I think THAT explains what the sneer was all about,” I fired back.
****Now, let’s clear something up, I have absolutely NO disrespect for anybody who has their D.O. as opposed to their M.D., it was just this guy was all up on his high horse, and I felt the need to shoot him down. I have the utmost respect for any person with any form of degree in any area, especially a doctorate.*****
He reached for my arm and pulled me close to him. Holy shit he smelled good. “I think you owe me an apology, dude,” He said.
“You’re right, Mr. Portland, I do. I am so sorry that you don’t have what it takes to make it at a REAL medicine school,” I said.
I literally saw the smoke come of out his ears. He was pissed. I was happy!
“Now, I am going to forget that you even said that little comment du….” He started.
“I’m not,” I interrupted him.
I smiled. He frowned.
I turned to go and was out of the kitchen and got stopped by another doctor on my way down the hall. He and I chatted for a few minutes before I saw that Ryan was following me.
“Oh, Lane, have you met, Ryan yet? He is the newest resident that we have. He is in the emergency room with myself. He is such a smart young man, I can’t wait for him to complete his residency so I can hire him full time,” the doctor from the hallway said.
“Why, no, I haven’t had the chance to meet him,” I said as I extended my hand to Ryan. “Lane Boudreaux,” I said as I shook Ryan’s hand.
“Now, Dr., Lane here is a fine young man. This is Dr. Boudreaux’s one and only son. Doc is very proud of him and we all are looking for great success from him in the future.” The doctor said to Ryan.
I smiled and winked at Ryan. He just scowled.
“Well, Lane, it was nice meeting you,” Ryan said.
“Nice meeting you too,” I replied.
“I will look forward to seeing you soon,” Ryan said trying to mean it.
“If your lucky,” I fired back, and winked.
He huffed and turned to walk away. The doctor who I was talking to followed Ryan to the Dining Room. I turned and walked back to my room to find that Jared was already under the covers and asleep.
I quickly got changed and slipped into bed snuggling right up close with him. I had my head on his chest and my head on one of his pecs.”
