The Day his Motor Died - 10. Chapter 10

Faster than you can say, “Life is short,” the year was 2012. Michael and Doug were now legally married. Peter and Paul had been their best men. It had been a quiet wedding. Their commitment ceremony had been a big blast, and they were more restrained now. The wedding dinner consisted of just the four of them at a five-star restaurant.

The twins were eighteen years old now, and graduating from high school. They were only given two tickets each to the ceremony. In order not to slight any of the grandparents, Michael and Doug invited nobody but themselves.

The twins had grown to be six feet, two inches tall, taller than either father. They and their fathers worked out constantly at a gym near their home. All four had killer bodies. They often walked around the house naked, and Doug and Michael had a hard time staying unaroused.

A year earlier Peter accidently overheard his fathers lamenting the fact that they would be empty nesters in the near future. It broke his heart. Michael and Doug had been urging them to apply to Ivy League schools. They could afford it, and the boys were exceptionally bright. One morning at breakfast, Paul made an announcement.

“Look Dads, we don’t want to go out of town to college. We want to stay here with you.”

“Nonsense,” Doug said, “you’ve got to cut the apron strings.”

“Too late,” Paul said with a smile. “We’ve applied to, and been accepted, to CCNY.”

“Oh no,” Doug moaned. “Your chances of succeeding will be so much greater if you go to a more prestigious school.

“We knew you’d say that,” Paul sighed, “so we did some research. Did you know that Bernard Baruch, Henry Kissinger and Colin Powell all went to CCNY? I think that they can be considered very prestigious.”

“And famous actors like Tony Curtis and Woody Allen,” Peter added.

“It’s where we want to go. Besides I don’t ever want to live anywhere but New York City. It’s home.”

The fathers knew exactly how they felt. There was not much they could do, but wish their boys well, and back them up.

A few days later, at breakfast, Peter asked, “Wanna hear something cool?”

“Sure, why not?” Michael answered.

There’s a set of identical twins in our class, Marian and Margaret Anderson. They are absolutely gorgeous. Paul and I thought it would be a hoot for us to ask them to the senior prom. You know, identical twins, dating identical twins. They accepted.”

“That does sound kind of fun,” Doug said.

This was Michael’s opportunity. He couldn’t resist. “What happens if they want to lose their virginity on prom night?” he asked with a sly grin on his face.”

He didn’t expect Paul’s answer. “Oh Pop. We’re not virgins. We’re ready to do the deed.”

Well that answers that, Michael and Doug both concluded.

Paul realized what was going on in his fathers’ minds. He grew concerned and asked. Even though we’re straight, you still love us, don’t you?”

Their dads roared with laughter.

“Well, that’s a twist,” Michael laughed. “What’s wrong with you two? We’ll love you forever. Besides, now I can dream about being a grandfather.”

“My parents are going to insist that they’re too young to be great grandparents,” Doug laughed.

Doug and Michael sat in the audience at the graduation service. They were beaming with pride. They even held hands. They didn’t care who saw them. There was no doubt that their boys were the handsomest men in the class. They also agreed that the Anderson twins were the prettiest girls.

Even before the prom, the boys were dating Marian and Margie regularly, and all four were planning to go to CCNY. It sounded serious to the fathers. That did not stop them from taking advantage of the situation.

Every time the boys went out for the evening, they rushed to their bedroom and made love with lust and very loud noises. Their profanity would make anyone blush. When the boys were home, they were more reserved. They still believed that the twins never heard them make love. If they only knew.

After the graduation ceremony, Michael and Doug took the boys to Tavern on the Green. The whole family met them there, and they celebrated their sons’ achievements.

Peter and Paul had reunited with their two younger brothers a few years earlier. They weren’t very close, but the boys invited them to the party anyway.

The twins majored in business administration. The Baruch College was part of CCNY, and was considered to be one of the best business schools in the country. While attending the school, Peter worked part time in Doug’s office, and Paul worked part time in Michael’s office. Upon graduation they were taken on full time.

They were married shortly after graduation. Peter married Margie and Paul married Marian.
