The Three-Day Pass
Chapter 3

By Joystick

The shrill ringing sound pierced his brain like a thousand church bells. He forced his eyelids open and for a few milliseconds he could not recall where he was. Somewhere off in outer space a phone rang making one hell of a racket. Then, silence, followed by a sleepy male voice. “Hello, who is this?” the sleepy voice asked. “Yes, this is Rich, what can I do for you?” The fog began to clear as Joseph remembered where he was now. He looked around the room and saw Richard on the phone; the expression on his face conveyed that he was not too pleased with the way the conversation was going. “Yes I know I promised. OK damn it, what time do you want me there?” he asked, his voice clearly upset. “I can make it. I’m going to bring a friend with me though if that’s ok with you.” Then, after listening to what the caller had to say, he scowled and replied, “No he doesn’t wait on tables. I’ll see you about 1 o’clock.” After closing the cell phone and realizing that Joseph was now awake he leaned over and kissed him on the lips lightly and murmured, “Good morning babe. How are you this morning? Have I told you how much I love you yet today?”

“Hell no, but I just opened my eyes” the soldier quipped. “The day has just started and every bone in my body hurts. Don’t even ask about my ass.”

“Why shouldn’t I ask you about that beautiful bubble ass of yours? It does belong to me now. Let me kiss it and make it all better,” he said as he playfully placed his lips on Joseph’s butt, kissed it, and gave it a few additional sloppy licks for good measure. “There that should cure it.”

“Mmmm, it does feel better,” he said rubbing his rear end. “Who was that on the phone?”

“It was the cafe,” he said in an apologetic tone. “They have booked a special party for this afternoon and need some extra waiters.” He took Joseph’s hands in his and lifted them to his lips, “Why did I have to leave them my cell number? I’m so sorry but I have to go into work. Would you care to come in with me? It will only be for a few short hours and I hate the thought of leaving you alone here and even less having you wander around this big, bad city without me to protect your handsome face.”

Joseph pulled Richard to him, kissed him then moving his lips to his ear and whispered, “I’m a big boy now Daddy,” he teased. “You don’t have to worry about me. You know I can take care of myself, even in this city. But yeah, I also hate the idea
