***********************************************************************************
this here story's m’ own and i din't get high marks in enlgish, but i'm gonna write it cuz i gotta get stuff out in the open before i xplode--everythins happenin so quick an i'm only 18. that happened only a few months ago on May 9th, 1987. it's about my cuzin brad who's maybe 19, or even 20 now and from austin and gettin wilder by th day. 'what you do for fun these days kid' he asks me when he first arrive. i kicked at the dirt cuz i thought it rude he calls me kid. 'i do the same as always. You was here last year and the year before that, so why do you ask when you alrredy no?'
he laughed out loud and opened the buttons at his neck and i could see th’ deep groove partin his muscle chest. Brad says he works out wi his home made weights in the garage, tho i've never been to Austin and don’t even no, but he must be cuz he’s got muscles i no he dint have last summer. way more i kin see from his chest alone.
'i like it when you get mad' he said back. he laffed even more an rubbed his hand all down his shirt, lovin hisself. My aunt Ina brings him cuz she says he's a hanfull. he don't have no father or mother cuz of some accident. brad never talks about it, and he gives Ina trouble cuz he's so wild. he's not really my cuzin but my sister Lucy tol me he is so--that Ina is really his momma . she got knocked up when she was in hi school an she gave brad away until his fake folks got killed somehow on a trip, then she decided to take him back, make sure he had a home. i don't no if its true cuz brad dont talk serious ever.
brad shoved me but i knew he would so i braced myself. 'hmmmm, your arms n'shoulders are gettin big, tommy. you workin out some?' 'maybe,' i spit on the ground. 'hell brad you otta no i work so hard round this place--if i don't get big everywhere i be surprised. i'm not yet your size but just wait ok?' he laffed again real hard and then looked me up and down while still rub bin his chest. 'why you lookin at me brad? see something you like?’ he laffed again, his mule brayin laff, an tried to tackle me but i slipped out of the way. 'your cute you no that tommy? you could be in the movies like that guy mat dillon.'
'i don't no who that is, an it dont matter cuz we gotta help samson in the barn now, so stop foolin aroun.' we walks from the porch an the sun is so damn hot i unbutton my shirt too. brads a real city boy but when he gets here he puts on overalls an makes a show of wipin his brow with a big red kerchif an walking witha swagger. He dont no how it makes everyone smile, specially samson. samson is our hired help who lives in the bunkhouse on his own. we used to have maybe five helps but not now. samson is the only one who stayed and hes maybe my best friend even tho hes like 25 or even more.
'you no tommy i was gonna ask you a question cuz its full moon tonight.' i stopped walkin an shaded my eyes to look at him closeup. i squinted m’eyes, sizin’ him up, 'we ain't doin what you tol me bout last year' i said to his grinnin face.
brad is hansome, no question an everyone says it. he looks like he's half mexican an my sister lucie says his real daddie was. she says theres no guys more dark n'hansome than brad, cept maybe tony danza, whoever that is . he laffed his head off this time an shoved me nearly off m'feet. 'shit, tommy, see?--you remembered it, so it must've ment somethin or you wouldnot remember what i tol you!'
i kept headin us to the barn. 'all i member is you sayin that a full moons a time you feel all crazy.' 'yeah,' he laffs at me, his dark eyes all twinklin. 'an what else?' 'shit' i said back. his big hand reaches out an pulls me so close we're standin face t'face an his warm breath wuz washin over me. i couldnt look him in th eye.
i just kicked at the ground. 'if anyone ever saw us we’d get bullwhipped.' my voice dropped an i looked to th'house. 'whooee,' he yelled out makin me more jittery. 'see?' he grabbed me by th'bicep. 'godamn--see what?,' i asked his grinnin puss. he laughed '---you wanna do it but yer jus afraid of bein caught?'
'knowin you we sure would cuz'a your mule laff alone brad.' he was starin again inta m'eyes an all over me. 'if you promise to shut your mouth, then maybe' i said then '--only cuz its hotter n'hell an it would feel cooler is all.' i felt so queer havin his dark eyes look right thru me that way, like he was lookin me all over an i mean ALL over. 'but we have'ta go far beyon the barn, brad. we gotta go way the hell....' 'i knew you'd cave in,' he wiped his wide lips an smiled. his lips are real wide, an his face is so dimpled an cheekboned an his ears so small it makes his lips look like they were made for kissin an thats what lucy said one time. 'he looks like a grownup boy.' 'hellsbells, luce, thats what he is, dumass' i said back. 'him an me's both'a us still only teens.'
'no one's caving in,ok?' i kept on marchin us to the barn. 'your a guest here an i have'ta meet you halfway poppa tol me. he said your crazier n'a coon but that i'm way too serious an your good for me that way.' i felt his arm come round my neck an his breath hot on my face. 'he's rite, an tonite i'm gonna loosen you up, you wait.' I squirmed out of his grip feelin flushed at how big his biceps felt, cause they were full an strong n'warm and it was like how i couldn't catch m breath for awhile.
we ate late cuz momma had gone out to help over to the church. all thru it brad kep starin at me an then kickin at me under the table like he was ten instead of near 20. i tried ignorin him til finely when i looked back he licked his lips and then licked off the choclite sirup from his spoon real slow an then grinned at me somemore like we had some kinda secret tween us. m'eyes kept lookin at how deep that valley is now dividin his suntan muscle tits an how even his brown neck is thicker muscled now and his shoulders so wide they brushed pops as they sat t’gether. try as i might i couldn’t stop starin’ only to have him catch m’eye an wink and lick more choclite off his fingers, takin his sweet time over the middle one like it was speshul an’ then laffin’ his stupid laff.
'your feelin your oats, huh, you two?' poppa said to me, his green eyes narrow. he was someone brad always lisened to cuz my poppa is no-shit built like a weightlifter, hairy ches’ n all. 'well, at least here you can't get to no trouble, an there's no point goin to town cuz yer too young an end up doin somethin stupid.' Brad laughed an ran his foot up my leg 'its full moon t’nite uncle luke-- i'm a’ways crazy under a moon.'
pop looked at me like he wondered what i was thinkin then he looked back at him 'don't worry, brad, cause mr.serious here will keep you in line.'
my momma jes sat an shook her head at brad's wild ways, 'save your fork cuz i got pie.'
