haha loved this. I remember Friday and Saturday night like that.

Chapter 2 "Ricky?" Merrick's hand paused on the button of his pants. Damn, he hated that name. He took a deep breath, and without turning, continued pulling on his clothing. "Yeah?" "Where are you going?" The sleepy, whiny voice was probably endearing to some people, but right now it was like a knife through Merrick's skull. He really shouldn't have had that last shot of … what the hell was the orange stuff again? Veorolian tequila? Oh well. Live and learn. He had worked damned h

This is like a glimpse into the destructive wake left by a psychopath. From the protective feel I get the feeling that someone made the mistake of hurting someone you care about.

These were very uplifting Tim. There is sadness, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel and find joy in difficult times. They all seem to be about hope.

Smoking hot and romantic too. You really know how to make my maple syrupy soul happy I think Sim really likes the dominant in the bedroom types I really hope that Ryan is as sincere as he seems. If he is I think they might be able to make a go of things. The food sounded great...heavy but comforting. I look forward to reading more about these two. They are sending sparks all over the place.

Haha loved this. I can't say I'm really much for the whole several friends with benefits thing, but hey, if it makes them happy, then what the heck. lol. It looks like, just from the connection we've seen between Ryan and Sim so far, that Sim MAY have found someone he wants to explore a potentially deeper connection with. Or it could be a one time thing. Either way, sparks were flying

Awww these were so cute!! I love the one with you as a little girl (the last pic)

There was so much in this chapter that I like and wanted to comment on. 1. Nate: He is such a sweet boy and I know he loves being with his uncles and his grandparents, but he has to remember, his dad hurt him, not his mom and not his sisters. Even if Megan decides she has to leave Mark there is no guarantee that she's going to completely uproot the girls and move to Ontario. It sounded like Mark was going to try to make an honest effort to make amends. If Megan believes that he is sincere then I think it's important for Nate to be there if that's the case. Megan has already proven that she will do what is best for Nate, and Nate needs to trust her. Right now the idea of living with his grandparents,near his uncle is new and shiny and exciting, plus there is the added bonus of a cute boy with Bodie, but I'm just not sure if it's a good long term solution. 2. Nate and Bodie: I think it was so sweet that M & K saw themselves in Nate and Bodie. I think that even if Nate moves back home that he and Bodie will stay in touch. Nate can always come back for the summers and see his friend. I think if they are like M & K their friendship will survive the test of time and distance. I had great "Summer friends" that I saw every summer when I would go and visit my grandparents. I'm still great friends with one to this day. Maybe one day they can go to the same University and maybe they will develop into something more than friends, or maybe they will always just be best friends. That's ok too. You can't have enough people in your corner. 3. The rings: Colleen's reaction and Nate spilling the beans was priceless!! I also loved Big Mike's reaction. He said exactly the right thing with Nate there listening. I can't wait until Kendall's parents find out! The moms might have to have a "group chat" started with Arron and Chet so they can all do some wedding planning 4. I think it's a great idea for Michael to travel back to Edmonton with Nate if/when the time comes. Kendall is right (as usual ), Nate will need the support.

I read the poem and had a picture in my mind of a warm late spring day, everything is green and the rain is sparkling.

There is so much love in those lines. The love you have for Michael and the unshakable love he has for you. He seems to be your anchor in rough seas, keeping you from being swept away.

Thank you Tim I'm really happy you like Merrick and Jenson. There will be more flashbacks ... so you'll be seeing more of young Merrick. As for any conversations? We'll just have to see Thank you so much for your support and your review Tim.

You know I think this is beautiful, but it bears repeating. You're poem's must is a lucky man

Such a terrible time for our vampire. Kicked out by his father, nearly starving to death, changed, and then being even hungrier than before he was changed. The final insult is becoming a killer with no one there to teach him how to control his urges or pacify his victims. I can see why George eventually claimed his heart...he was the only person to show him kindness in so many years. I am curious though how long before George offered himself to Levi, and how long it took Levi to accept.

I always love the conversations between the two straight boys. They are both pretty mature and pretty introspective. Rob might experiment some day, but I just can't see him not ending up married with kids. I think will be a great dad some day. I know he could be a dad and be in a relationship with a man, but I just see him with a wife and kids some day. Now we just need to know what Eric said to Nelson

Thank you Adi. Your support (and your review) mean a lot Another chapter should be coming next week

Thank you Eagle I know kids like Merrick too. They can be great for making people squirm. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Thank you for the review drpaladin. I appreciate the review. I hope to have chapters posted once a week. I hope I can keep you engaged and wanting more

Thank you B! I appreciate the support, the review and the "MORE"

Aww thank you hon I'm so pleased you like the chapter. Jenson and his sister act like my brother and I did with each other when we were growing up together. Merrick was a lot of fun to write. I know a few kids like him. Thank you again for the review and the support

Thank you John I'll be introducing Merrick the adult in the next chapter and I think (at least in appearance) you are going to like him I did draw a lot on personal experience when writing about Merrick. Kid's can be honest and uncensored, so he was fun to write. Thank you for the review. I really appreciate the support.

Thanks Caz! You'll find out more about Merrick in the next chapter Thanks for the review.

Thank you Victor . Love the review. I am aiming for a chapter a week, so I hope I don't disappoint.

Thanks Def! This is going to be a learning experience for me. So far I'm ecstatic that people seem to like the story. I love Merrick as a little boy, so I'm pleased you like him too We'll meet adult Merrick in the next chapter. Thank you for the support and the review

Thanks Tim! I'm glad you like the names. The names just seemed to suit then men I saw in my imagination. It was terrifying posting the first chapter, but I'm happy I did it. Thank you for the review

Well that escalated quickly! Who are these men? Why are they interested in his birthmarks? What did the grandmother know? So many questions Adi!
