Jim and Ethan are driven back to the Club Jaguar, where Jim picks up his clothes. They are then driven, by Chuck, to the apartment block, where Ethan lives. Jim gets a set of keys from the concierge, and is then given a guided tour of the lavish, luxurious penthouse, where he is to live with Ethan - and then to bed ?
As Ethan and Jim stepped out of the elevator, and into the hotel foyer, they found Chuck waiting for them.
"Good Evening, Sirs, I trust that you enjoyed your meal ?", Chuck said smoothly.
"Yes thanks, Chuck." Ethan replied.
"And now back to the 'Club Jaguar', for Jim's things.", Ethan said.
As they stepped out into the warm evening air, Chuck's assistant was already holding open the door of the huge black Cadillac, which he had been assiduously polishing while Jim and Ethan were having their meal with the 'Boss'.
It was a short, easy drive back to the 'Club Jaguar'.
On arriving at the Club, Chuck and Jim went into the reception area to ask for Frank.
Ethan stayed in the limo, as he was not keen on Frank, which wasn't really surprising, especially if you didn't want to be called 'amigo' every few minutes.
Jim was quickly able to collect the casual clothes that he had been wearing that morning.
Frank said little, realizing that he was out of the picture at that point.
Chuck escorted Jim back to the limo, - opening and closing the door.
"So ..where to, Sir ?", Chuck asked Ethan.
"My place, Chuck, and come and collect us tomorrow morning, about 9 - OK ?"
Jim's New Home |
"Right sir - No problem." Chuck replied brightly.
After another short drive they arrived outside a tall apartment block.
"Well - it doesn't look much from the outside, but it's a bit better once you're inside - and I think you'll like it better than the Club Jaguar." Ethan said to Jim, as the got out of the limo.
First Ethan took Jim to the concierge, in order to get Jim his own set of keys to the apartment - and then it was off to the elevator - and by then Jim was getting used to elevators.
This trip in the elevator, however, was longer than the previous elevator trips at the 'Club Jaguar' and the Restaurant, as Ethan's place was the penthouse apartment - a penthouse of course - because it was owned by the 'Boss'.
Now Jim didn't know what a penthouse was, but as you (the reader) are doubtless aware, a penthouse is a large, luxurious apartment on the roof of a building.
When Ethan a Jim left the lift, they were confronted by a small lobby, and opposite were double doors.
"Welcome to your new home !", Ethan said grandly, as he unlocked the doors, and opened them with a flourish.
Once inside the penthouse there was a large hall, with numerous doors leading off.
"So....this is all yours ?"Jim asked, amazed at the size of the apartment.
"Well....it's not mine, Jim.
The'Boss owns it, and he lets me use it.", Ethan explained.
"But that doesn't really matter.
It's ours for the moment - and we'd be stupid not to take advantage of the situation." Ethan said.
"Well, I don't really mean 'take advantage' - I wouldn't do that to the 'Boss' - I like him too much - but we would be dummies not to use it.", Ethan explained, almost tying himself in knots.
"Of course, Ethan.", Jim agreed.
Penthouse Living Room |
Ethan opened a door.
"This is the main 'living room'." (for non American readers - Eng. - sitting room).
"Oh.....so this is how rich people live here !", Jim exclaimed.
"Yes indeedy ! - And you're one of those rich people.", Ethan confirmed.
"So did the "Boss" live here before he let you have it ?", Jim asked.
"Oh no !....this is far too modern - and, may I say, a bit 'down market' for our 'Boss'.
No.... he lives in a grand Villa - all very classical, and full of fabulously expensive antiques.
Me, though - I like this style", Ethan explained.
Jim felt a twinge when he heard the word 'villa'.
Perhaps he had a hankering for something older, and more traditional.
Regardless, it was only a momentary feeling, and he was really captivated by the huge room, and the amazing view over the town.
"What's the word you use for this, Ethan - 'cool' ?", Jim queried, testing the water with his new vocabulary.
"Yes indeed.
This is very 'cool' - but wait until you see the other pool - which is always 'warm' - but really 'cool'." Ethan giggled.
And if you look carefully, you will see a small pool, on the terrace, just behind the flat screen - but there is another pool, on the other side of the penthouse.
Penthouse Pool |
"Follow me !", Ethan said, excitedly, as he led Jim onto the terrace, and round the other side of the building.
And there, beautifully floodlit, was a pristine, square pool.
"That's great !", Jim said, "but I haven't got any Speedos with me."
"What ? Are you crazy ?
There's only us two here, and were so high up no one can see us !
Now don't tell me you're one of those shy dudes !"
Ethan said, looking thoroughly disappointed.
"Well no..", Jim said, lamely.
I'll strip off - but later....."
Ethan imdeiately brightened up.
"Now you're talking !"
Ethan turned away from the pool, and went back into the penthouse.
"So come, and see some more of the place.....
Each bedroom has it's own bathroom - what we call 'en-suite' - that's another word you've probably forgotten - although I notice that you remembered 'Speedos'.
Now there is also a big bath, that we can share, and I do hope that you like sharing a tub - but without the Speedos, of course." Ethan said, grinning.
"Well I suppose so.", Jim said, but with little conviction.
"Yes - well I suppose that's something else that you've forgotten.", Ethan said, sarcastically.
The Large Bath |
Ethan opened another door.
"There it is....big enough ?", he said proudly.
"Yes....I think so.", Jim replied.
"And you've been living in this huge place all alone ?", Jim questioned.
Ethan nodded.
"And didn't you ever feel lonely.", Jim asked quietly.
"Yes....most of the time.
Very lonely.", Ethan replied, turning away with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Well I'm here now, Ethan - so there's no need to feel lonely any more..."
And Jim put his arms around Ethan, turned his cute companion round to face him, and kissed him on the lips, softly but, with feeling.
"Thanks.", Ethan answered, sniffling.
"Now don't get all soft on me...", Jim said, trying, quite unsuccessfully, to sound stern.
"No, Jim - but thanks - really.", Ethan replied, feeling a little foolish.
"But enough....!", Ethan said rubbing his eyes.
There's even more !",
And with that he ran down the corridor, and opened yet another door.
The Home Cinema |
"No more squinting at that little 'flat-screen', like you had in Room 33.
Now we have a 'home cinema' !", Ethan proclaimed.
"A what....?", Jim said, as he staggered into the kind of room he had never seen before.
"A place where you can watch 'movies' - 'films'...you know ?", Ethan tried to explain.
"No...but don't worry - you can show me later....", Jim replied, gazing around in wonderment.
Jim looked at Ethan with an odd look in his eyes.
"This is a very strange home !", he said.
"It's a very 'cool' home !", Ethan said.
"Yes.... and what's all this business about things being 'cool'?
It feels quite warm in here.", Jim said, obviously puzzled.
"You don't understand, Jim.
It's your goofy memory.
'Cool' means really 'neat' - really good.", Ethan explained.
"Yes...all very well, but it's getting late, so where do I sleep ?", Jim asked.
"With me, of course !", Ethan replied, dodging out of the home cinema, and back into the corridor.
"Follow me and I'll show you.", Ethan said, opening yet another door.
"Now Ethan, - I need to get some sleep, and if I sleep with you I don't think I'll get much sleep.", Jim said.
"But please - I won't do anything, really.
I just want someone lying beside me.
You said yourself it could be lonely living alone - and no one's been in my bed since I came here, ages ago.
"Please....I promise I will leave you alone - honest.", Ethan pleaded.
Master Bedroom |
"Well show me the bedroom, anyway.", Jim said, giving in to Ethan's promises.
Ethan opened the door, and they went in.
"Well.... that's what you call - er...really 'cool'.", Jim said.
"Yes....'real cool' !", Ethan corrected.
"And are there other bedrooms - with the beds made up - so if you start getting frisky, I can always get a good night's sleep in another bed ?", Jim asked.
"Yes, two others, Jim, and all en-suite - I can show you if you like." Ethan said, getting more an more enthusiastic by the minute.
"No, it's all right - I believe you." Jim replied
"So...that's most of it, but we can look at the rest of it tomorrow.
So now lets have a dip in the pool, before we go to bed.", Ethan suggested, suggestively.
"Which pool ?", Jim asked.
"The large square one.", Ethan replied, as he made his way to the bedroom to strip.
So Jim and Ethan finally got naked, which is what Ethan had been waiting for - for quote some time.
He was not a stupid young man however, and was quite prepared to bide his time, and so the two of them enjoyed a leisurely swim and a chat before making for Ethan's luxurious bedroom.
And they slept the night, with Ethan cuddling up to Jim - just for the comfort and reassurance - until the morning.
And Ethan was a good as his word, because by then he knew that Jim felt for him, and if anything was to follow, it would follow of it's own accord.
And Jim, who felt that he had been thrust into a world of which he had no understanding, at that point felt, as he put his arm round his sweet, sleeping companion, that he had a least one person with whom, strangely, he felt secure.
An then the buzzer of the entry 'phone sounded.
"So...that's most of it, but we can look at the rest of it tomorrow.
Evening Swim in the Penthouse Pool |

"The large square one.", Ethan replied, as he made his way to the bedroom to strip.

Jim and Ethan are driven back to the Club Jaguar, for a meeting with Dr. Lockwood, and are then driven to the office of the eminent psychiatrist who had been to help with Jim's memory loss - and then Jim is hurled into the vortex of his lost memories....
