Part 1941

Harry, Harry Webber still here....

MY FUCKING GOD, HELLS FUCKING BELLS!

Henry licked my pre-cum off.....

Then, without warning.........

I felt my cock, and I'm not bloody joking slide down Henry's throat!!

The little sod swallowed my cock down to my balls!! I'm not exaggerating either..I actually felt my cock down go his throat!

In my Peripheral vision I saw John take Lukes cock in his mouth and Luke move his head back over the back of the sofa with his mouth wide open.....

Henry then started sucking my cock. Up and down and round and round..

Jesus fucking wept!!!!

Every now and then he sucked so deep it went down his throat whole...

I was struggling big time to prevent myself from shooting a big load straight into his belly...

I didn't want to cum as I wanted more of what Henry was doing!!!

I was in heaven!!

Henry's hands was now tweaking my nipples... Jesus fucking hell!!

My eyes were now shut and I was moaning and saying God knows wot out of my mouth.

The next minute I felt a different type of sucking......I opened my eyes and saw it was now John sucking me. Henry was now sucking Luke!!

Fucking BLISS......

Henry and John have different sucking skills!!

I was now struggling BIG time NOT to ejaculate!!!

Henry then said "STOP"....

Both him and John stopped sucking!!

OH...GOD NO...DONT STOP!

Henry then manoeuvred Luke onto the floor and John got me on the floor.

Henry told us to 69!!

He then said we can't stop until we have filled each others belly with our love juices......

Me and Luke started sucking each other.....

It goes without saying that the pressure John and Henry had already put on our cocks it wasn't long before we unloaded and filled each others belly with our spunk....

John and Henry watched us unload whilst wanking each other.....

Henry, then very politely, said "would you 2 like us to fuck you? Harry your arse is lovely and I want to lick and rim you before I fuck you senseless. And I know that John wants to fuck you Luke"

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! HEAVEN!!!

Part 1942

Thank you Harry, Harry Webber for that!!

Nice detail and obviously you all enjoyed yourselves.

What can I say about John and Henry?

Well...they certainly know what they want!!

Next morning......

Breakfast and Harry, Luke, John and Henry sit together. It was obvious that John and Henry stayed overnight.

Sam came in, God the bruises on his face and stitches have certainly 'came out' and more prominent. He looked in a bit of pain.......

Alex was on breakfast duty today and he has been threatening all week to give us healthy breakfasts instead of fry ups and full English ones!!

We all laughted and thought he was just taking the piss!!

He even told me that I'm 'putting on a bit of weight' cheeky fucker!!!

Dylan and Liam came out of the kitchen laughing quietly to themselves and sat down at the table........

Dylan whispered in my ear "don't start, get angry or make a scene please, just try it"......

Sean and Roger came out of the kitchen and served us our breakfasts...........

Sean then told everybody that Alex has asked them to tell us to "enjoy these protein-rich egg wraps filled with mushrooms and tomatoes for a quick, filling and healthy breakfast. It provides iron, folate and fibre.".........

What the fuck!!!

Wot the fuck is this? Breakfast?

Alex is taking the bloody piss!! And saying I'm fat!!

It smelled nice though to be honest.

I could see the lads looking at each other and then looking at these 'wraps'.

Dylan kicked my shins under the table....and gave me one of his stares!!!

I noticed that Alex hadn't come out of the kitchen.

Harry and Henry tried one of these egg wraps and both smiled saying "mmmnn..their tasty and nice" they then started eating another one!!

I picked one up and looked at it and smelt it.....I could see the others looking at me!!!

Oh well....here goes nothing!!

I took a bite......then another, then another......

Bloody hell Alex!! Well done mate!!

The others tucked in and I could see the smiles coming and them making comments on how tasty they were...

I was suprised at how 'filling' they were and how tasty they were.

Alex eventually came out of the kitchen and sat down....I could see his face going redder and redder and he couldn't look at us.

It was Harry that said "Alex, different, but bloody nice mate..Well done"

The others were too busy stuffing their faces to say anything!!

Alex then told us that the breakfast is very healthy for us. Tom, luke, Connor and Josh agreed that we should be eating healthier meals.

I must agree that this breakfast was not only different by tasty and filling.

And to be fair Alex was right about me getting a 'bit of a belly' on me but is the only person brave enough to actually tell me!

Part 1944

After a delicious breakfast, Alex came and saw me and asked if he could have a word?

We went to the bar area.....

He gave me a hug and apologised for saying I've 'put on some weight' but he was just concerned about me and my health conditions.

I saw some tears in his eyes and gave him a hug back thanking him for his concern.

I decided to promote him to my 'personal chef' and told him he is now responsible for all my meals and portion sizes. I asked him if he wanted to do that? He hugged me again and said he wants to do it and he promised the meals will be varied every day. He cried and smiled at the same time.....

This Saturday night the hotel rooms are fully booked as we have a 'black tie' dinner dance and raffle on behalf of Arlos charity in memory of his late twin Milo.

Everybody, including the Sunday girls, Mary, Chantell and the reception girls Julie, Janet and Lorraine have volunteered to work to make it a success.

Their are 150 people that have booked tickets and the raffle prizes obtained are really fantastic. Of course I have donated, afternoon teas, carvery, meal for 2 and a weekend stay in the penthouse suite!!!

Arlo has managed to acquire a hot air balloon flight for 2 (complimentary of virgin) a 90 minute flying lesson, a 60 minute glider flying experience, a rally car driving experience, a £100 gift voucher for Marks and Spencer, a car valet and clean. He also has obtained £100 voucher for car petrol/diesel. Brandon has donated 5 spray tans and 5 hours sunbed and Tom has donated 5 free sports massages.

I'm disappointed with Arlo!!!

He managed to get a Aston Villa team shirt signed by all the 1st team and a season ticket for their home matches!!!!

ASTON BLOODY VILLA!!!! Poor taste Arlo!!!

Plus of course little prizes like bouquet of flowers and a lovely cake by Harry.

I decided that the 3 course meal they are having will be at cost price to Arlo and due to the staff volunteering, yes they have all volunteered for no pay, no staff costs and I have given him the function room free of charge for the evening. The Dj for the evening is Scott and the main band playing is a local group who has also donated their services for the night.

The tickets are £75 each which includes the 3 course meal, champagne on arrival and a bottle of wine per table of 4.

The guest list is impressive...local businessmen, Freemasons, councillor's, Rotary club, Lions club and the WI.

Arlo was giving everybody a update on his charity dinner dance on Saturday. After he finished and everybody was leaving the breakfast table I noticed John and Henry talking to him.....Arlo was smiling.

5 minutes later I saw all 3 of them walking towards me at reception. I was talking to Harry who was making sure I was all OK with my new food diet!!! Love you Harry!!

Arlo told me that John and Henry have volunteered to help at the charity event if they are needed!! John said he has some waiter experience and Henry said he has bar experience. Well done lads!!!

Harry overhead and said that John and Henry are about the same size as him and Luke if they need to borrow their spare staff uniforms?

Harry told us to come to his flat and for them to try the uniform on.

So, me, Arlo, Harry, John and Henry went up to Harry's flat......

Harry got out his and Lukes spare uniform and got them to try them on.

Wow!! They scrubbed up well!! Apart from the trainers!! They did say they both have black shoes at home though.

God they looked so different!! Makes a change from their tee shirts and khaki works shorts and utility belts!

I told them that there welcome to stay Saturday night in the spare bedroom in my flat if they wanted too?

They got changed back into their work clothes and thanked Harry for letting them use them on Saturday.

It was agreed that John helps the kitchen with serving the 3 course meals and Henry helps behind the bar.

I told the pair of them to speak to Dylan and Tony for a bit of training. They both said they will after work!!

I looked at them and laughted! After work? I don't think so lads! Your giving up your free time Saturday night as it is, so your training will be in works time......

Part 1946

I was at reception when Billy told me that Friday afternoon we have 68 tables booked for afternoon teas!!

Jesus...that's a lot of preparation for sandwiches and cakes etc.

I went to see Dylan to inform him of the number of diners wanting afternoon tea on Friday.

It was decided that Harry, Liam, Martin and Sean will deal with it.

It worked out to be about 25 tables per hour...Harry laughted "that's manageable...if we all know what we're doing..preparation is the key and getting the Diners seated and the drinks served and to make sure that the tea and coffee is always available. After the teas are prepared, Sean will meet and greet and serve the drinks from the bar. Martin can ensure the tea and coffee is done and Liam and Sean will serve the teas and Jack and Roger will be working the bar and serving the diners"

Harry certainly knows what he wants, who's doing what and how it's done!

Best bet is to just leave them to it and don't interfere!!

I went upstairs to see how John and Henry were getting on with the redecoration of our penthouse/honeymoon suite......

My god!!! What a bloody difference! It had been totally revamped. All the painting was done and the wallpapering was nearly completed. They had without any doubt done a bloody good job on it.

John saw me, said hi and said it will be ready by the end of the day including the new four poster bed built and all the new furniture in. They will have to work hard to meet that deadline....and I reminded them that it's not booked until Saturday night so they have time.

Henry reminded me that some of the rooms are being used next week so they will have to work around the guests. I could see that he was a bit worried about not having work and thus not being paid.....

I smiled at him...."Well we have enough work to be done around the hotel and enough maintenance issues that will keep you 2 busy for a long time, so don't worry about having no work lads" I could see the relief on both their faces.

I asked Henry how he's parents are. He said the carers are doing a good job and Leo done some research and got us to contact the local council, and they decided that they meet the eligibility criteria, to access government-funded care through a "Carer's" service and have been awarded 'attendance allowance'. This is for people over State Pension age who have a disability or illness severe enough to need someone to help look after them. They have needed help for over 6 months and They have been awarded the higher rate of money as they need help day and night time.

Henry then said "thanks to Leo investigating it for me, we have extra money to pay for their care both day and night. To be honest it is a god send and we are thankful for Leo's advice"

Part 1947

Luke was working the fitness evening classes so Harry done his usual and came and visited me and Dylan.

He was in his normal position laying across me and Dylan when he started talking about John and Henry.

He likes them and so does Luke. He thinks their nice lads and knows they both have had their problems. He says their fun as well and very sociable. But he doesn't like their flat...he says it's too small and in a bit of a rundown area.

He then went on to say that they love the hotel and all of us!! And if we wanted anything else built, their on site and will be a lot cheaper than Bob the builder.

We then heard a scratching at the door?

Dylan went to see what it was and in strutts Smudge!! Strutts straight up to the sofa and jumps on it and settles between my arm and Harry's head!! Little bugger. He then closes his eyes and looks like his falling asleep!! Harry laughs and said the other day he came to his flat and fell asleep on his bed!!

Knock on door and in walks Luke. He's come to collect Harry !!

Me and Dylan go to the bar and in walks John and Henry after just having a shower after the fitness class. They offer me and Dylan a drink. I asked for a brandy and Dylan a pint.....

They came back with the drinks and Henry had a pint but John had a lemonade and lime as he was driving. They said the penthouse suite is now finished ... later that evening Billy told me they didn't finish work until 6.30pm as they wanted to get it done!!! Good lads.

John said that the function room could do with a bit of a tidy especially as we have Arlo's fund raising dinner and dance. He also said that they won't have enough time to finish another bedroom as the hotel is fully booked Saturday night?

Part 1948.

I like John and Henry's work ethics. I asked them why they finished at 6.30pm to be told by Henry "because we promised it would be ready today so we worked until it was"

John then said "we like working and seeing the finished product. It makes us happy and proud to please the customer"

For 2 young men they certainly aren't work shy and certainly enjoy their work!

As I was thinking that, Alex comes rushing in, wet through...he looked like a drowned rat!!

"The bloody water pipes burst in the kitchen...it's flooding!!!"

Before I could say anything....

John and Henry rushed to the kitchen. They managed to turn the mains water off but the kitchen floor was wet, so was them 2!!

Seconds later they were both shirtless with John laying on his back under the main sink!!

Henry disappeared and brought back a huge tool chest on wheels...

Apparently the main pipe has split. Henry said its the same pipes as they fitted in the new staff flats?

He said he can turn the water off to one of the spare flats and borrow their pipe to replace this one in the kitchen until they can get a new one?

Billy took him to one of the spare flats......

Within 45 minutes all fixed and John and Henry was helping Alex mop up the floor. John's trousers were now wet as well....

He didn't have any spare clothes apart from his sweaty gym clothes

Harry to the rescue!! He lent him a pair of shorts and a tee shirt.

It was now getting a bit late and I asked them if they wanted to stay the night in one of my spare bedrooms? Before I managed to finish the sentence they both said "yes please"

I then got John a pint and told him as he's not driving now, enjoy!!

Part 1949

John and Henry are staying in one of spare bedrooms today. I could have put them in the staff accommodation but wanted to speak to them privately.

Leo who knows everything (!) Looked at me and smiled....

He knew, by me putting them in my flat, I was, as he would say, 'up to something?'

The 4 of us got to my flat and John asked if he could have a shower...

When he was showering Henry was making the coffees with Dylan.

John came out of the shower wearing just shorts and asked me if that's ok as his trousers are a bit wet, his gym stuff sweaty and his work clothes dirty.

I told him to put his amd Henry's clothes in the washing/dryer machine so everything will be dry and clean in the morning.

We all sat down on the sofas and I asked them what their future plans are regarding work?

Henry admitted that "times are hard and people don't like paying for jobs...the customer wants everything on the cheap and done yesterday. And we're not big enough to compete with Robert the builder. If we employ staff it just puts the cost up and the customers don't like that. Plus only being the 2 of us it takes longer to complete the job and again the customer doesn't like that"

What he said made sense to me and I could see where he was coming from.

Part 1950.

A bit of a conundrum for them.

What with the care fees they are paying out for Henry's parents and that it is a difficult time for them at the moment.

I told the lads that their will always be work here for them if they run out of work. They thanked me and said they appreciated that.

Knock on the door...it was Ian asking for Smudge back!!

God I forgot about that little bugger......

I then had a thought I haven't seen him?

Ian said he likes a nice comfortable bed....

I went into my bedroom...he wasn't their and John said he's not in theirs......

Dylan went into the other bedroom and couldn't see him...but as he was walking out, he noticed the pillow moving?

The little bugger had buried himself underneath the pillows!!

He picked him up and took him to Ian.....smudge jumped from dylans arms straight into Ian's arms.

Both John and Henry started laughing and thought it was dead funny that a cat could wind us up like he did!!

Henry admitted that if he went to get into bed and the pillow moved he would have shit himself!!

Another knock on the door..God like St pancas train station here tonight with people, and animals, coming and going!!

It was Alex...he came in to thank John and Henry for helping him clean up the water in the kitchen and repairing the pipe so quickly! That was nice of him to do that I thought.

Henry told him "not to worry about it, as they couldn't leave him to clean up alone....."

Alex gave them both a hug saying to me "useful lads to have around Jason, God knows what we would have done without them? No afternoon teas and we would have had to cancel Arlo's charity dinner dance."

That made me think? How true Alex's words were........

Part 1951

Next morning, 05.00am!!!

I heard a quiet sound coming from the living room...

I went out of my bedroom in just my boxers and saw John in shorts and tee shirt drinking a coffee.

He apologised if he disturbed me saying he 'needed to check the pipe that he replaced yesterday in the kitchen to make sure it hasn't leaked before the kitchen staff use it'

I looked at my watch....I was very impressed with him and he attitude towards his work.

The next minute Henry came out of his bedroom, dressed like me in just boxers, asking John if everything was OK in the kitchen?

John said he was just going and left to go and check

I asked Henry if he wanted a coffee now we're both up?

I went and made the cappuccinos expecting him to have got dressed, but as I got back into the living he was still sitting their in just his boxers!!

We spoke about his parents and their care and his flat. He told me his flat was half the size of our staff flats and he now has to pay £650 a month rent. He said the hotel staff that live in just don't know how lucky and fortunate they are. He then asked "if it was true that I only charge the live in lads £100 a week per couple in the staff flats which includes all bills and meals?"

I told him thats correct but used to be cheaper but Leo raised the prices!

Henry told me he pays £650 rent, £93.00 council tax, water rates of £42 and gas/electricity of £75 a month. He said its over £1,100.00 per month minimum but that includes food.

Part 1952.

I was a bit shocked at how much they were paying for their flat.....

At that moment John came back and said it was all good in the kitchen and today he will get a new pipe from the plumbing merchants to replace the one he borrowed from the new staff flats.

He asked if he could have a shower before breakfast? Henry also asked.

Dylan was now awake and he must have heard them ask as he came out of our bedroom and said "too slow lads, join the queue!!" He then whipped in the bathroom for his shower..

Henry still sitting on the sofa in his boxers asked John to check on their flat when he goes to the plumber merchants and get their black shoes.

I went to make some more cappuccinos as I know that Dylan loves his coffee after his shower. I forgot to make him one once, and my life wasn't worth living for the rest of the day!!!

Today is the afternoon teas for the most people we have ever served and Dylan wanted to make sure that Harry and his team are ready for the challenge.

John told me that Harry and Liam were already in the kitchen preparing.....that's 45 minutes earlier than normal..... good lads!!

John and Henry are going to 'smarten up' the function room for Arlo's charity dinner dance tomorrow night.

A knock on the door....it was Leo with 2 suit covers over his arm.

He gave one each to John and Henry and told them these are their staff uniforms for tomorrow night or whenever they need them.

I thought that was a bit strange as Harry and Luke lent them their spare uniforms?

Leo saw the quizzed look on my face and smiled saying "well they are staff, but why only temporary as we need somebody like them permanently"

I looked into Leo's eyes and knew what he was thinking straight away.

John stripped to his boxers and they both tried on their new uniforms. Dylan was just coming out of the shower, with a towel wrapped around his waist, saw them looking really smart in their uniform, cat whistled at them, telling them they "look good"

Both John and Henry smiled at each other.......

Leo then asked the lads if they could come to the office after breakfast?

Henry writing now if that's ok?

As me and John was walking to breakfast we were both a bit nervous about why Leo wanted to see us? It was either good or bad news!!

We had breakfast of a Herb omelette with fried tomatoes!!

Apparently the lads decided that it wasn't fair on Jason if he has to have a healthy breakfast and they don't!! Therefore what ever he was having they would have as well. They really do care about him and each other.....they are such a close "knitted family"

Well the time has now come for us to see Leo........

We went to reception and Billy asked us to wait. We sat on the reception sofas and thought the worse.

Probably 10 minutes passed when we saw the office door open and Leo asks us to come in.

He apologised for keeping us waiting but he had an important telephone call.

We sat down at the conference table and Leo then told us that unfortunately he can't offer us a temporary contract with the hotel!!

Fuck....we're really fucked now!!

I imagine the conversation goes something along the line of. "I'm really sorry to tell you guys unfortunately the hotel can't offer you a temporary job. However it is with great pleasure to be able to offer you both permanent jobs at the hotel as part of our new maintenance and facilities team"

Henry here again!!

When Leo told us that, I looked at John and he looked at me...

Well we are now fucked, big time..

Leo then said "I appreciate how you are probably feeling at the moment and I'm sorry about that but I just can't give you a temporary works contract. The reasons being is I don't like them as I think their as bad as zero hours contract. So..... what I want to do is offer you both permanent full time contracts. The hotel is in badly need of a maintenance, repair and refurbishment team. This includes a few more building projects that are in the pipeline. I've seen your CV's and seen your qualifications and I'm happy that you are perfectly qualified to do what I require. I also am aware of your present situation so we have a choice now. As we found out last night about the water problem in the kitchen if you wouldn't have been on site to fix it, I could see that we would have had to cancel the afternoon teas and probably the dinner dance saturday as well. Both totally unacceptable.

Therefore my offer to you 2 today is a permanent full time contract on the salary offered but I'm willing to let you move into one of the new staff flats that you built at a rate of £400 per month which includes all meals and bills. I also appreciate that you need time to make up your minds as its a big decision on your careers and where you live. Do you want to work, jobbing for other builders like Bob the builder, try and boost up your own self employment building company or work full time for this hotel... big decisions so think about it and if you can give me an answer by Monday I would appreciate it"

Me and john listened to what Leo was saying without interrupting him. We were amazed at what he was offering us to be honest. We both looked at each other.......

Leo stood up and shook our hands.

Leo told us that our line manager is Tony so go and see him if you need any supplies or work stuff.....

We went to the function room to see what we need to tidy it up a bit.

Tony was already their moving some tables around.....he smiled when he saw us and asked us what we needed for today....

John was a bit concerned about doing any painting today where the guests could touch.

I suggested that we help Tony get the function room up and ready for tomorrow's charity dinner dance.

We spent about an hour moving tables and chairs around when Tony asked us how our meeting went with Leo?

It was obvious that Tony already knew as he said "I know it's a big decision for you 2 but trust me when I say Leo was serious about what he said. I know that your more than capable of doing the jobs and all the lads here think your good lads.

Just then Harry and Alex came in with the tea trolley.....

Harry had a big smile on his face, he asked how our meeting with Leo went as he overheard him asking us and he then said "as your still here that means he hasn't sacked you?"

(Don't get me wrong Harry, we liked you then and love you to bits now, but we knew you were 'fishing')

John looked at me and replied "no Harry he didn't sack us but gave us a proposal to think about"

Harry smiled and gave us both a hug saying "it's great working here and living in!"

When Harry left, John looked at me "no flys on Harry...he seems to know everything that happens here?"

Tony laughted "Everybody loves Harry, including the times when he opens his mouth before engaging his brain and saying some stupid silly things. But he does seem to have a 6th sense of things..."

Henry here......

We continued helping Tony when the afternoon teas were just starting.

Within an hour it was noticed that it was extremely busy, even though their were time slots for the diners. The bar was busy and John noticed that poor old Alex was struggling to keep up with the demand for tea and coffee. He couldn't find Tony so he went to reception and spoke to leo saying he will get changed into uniform and give a hand in the restaurant. Leo agreed.

Within 5 minutes John was in full uniform and offering his services to Harry and his team.

Harry gave him a hug and thanked him.

John, being John, has an eye for detail, being a builder and that and didn't like seeing empty cups and saucers etc on display at the bottom of the tea trolley being used to fill the diners with tea and coffee. He got a sheet, folded it and laid it over the trolley so it covered the bottom half of the trolley. I must confess the trolley looked 100 times better. When he was clearing the used tables as he could now hide the used plates etc.

John spend the rest of the afternoon helping out with the diners where I was still getting the function room ready.

I was missing working with John!!

Thank you Henry for your writing..

The afternoon teas went very well, and thanks to John for stepping in at the last moment to help out in the restaurant.

At evening meal we noticed that Harry was missing. Luke said he was having a shower as he left the flat.

He went to go and get him......

Our meal was being served when Billy comes rushing in from reception telling me that Lukes phoned...its Harry.......

Liam shot up the table as I did and we both rushed to Harry's flat.

In fact everybody rushed to Harry's flat.......

The flat door was open and Luke was in the bathroom, cuddling a naked Harry........who was on the floor.

Liam took charge and got a crying Luke out of the way.......

Harry was breathing but not conscious.......

Liam noticed that Luke had a bit of blood on his hands and noticed some blood on the bathroom floor.....

Within a minute or 2 Harry started waking up and muttering "fucking soap!" He wasn't making himself clear at this point....

The next minute a couple of paramedics arrived.....

They told us all to leave when they examined him. Luke explained about Harry's past brain injury.

They hooked Harry up to numerous amounts of machinery, blood pressure, heart, a little gadget on his finger.....

I told the lads now patiently waiting outside to disappear as Harry was coming around and seems OK. They disappeared but I noticed a few of them were upset, especially Henry who was crying, being consoled by John.

Harry was now awake and laughing!! Yes he was laughing!!!

Luke started laughing as well, and so did the paramedics!!

I went up to them and Harry, inbetween laughing, said "hi dad, I'm OK don't worry, bloody soap!!"

The paramedics told us that Harry is ok...everything's OK with him, it was just a stupid accident!

The paramedics were adamant that it wasn't anything to do with his previous brain injury and the blood from his head was caused by a small cut that didn't require stitches or anything more than a plaster!

They left and Luke managed to get a pair of shorts on Harry.

Harry then stood up and told us his hungry and wants his evening meal as its chicken and chips!!

He then put a tee shirt on and his sliders and told to hurry up and get to the dining room before the others eat all the chicken!!!

Wot the fuck!!

It could only happen to Harry!!

We got down to the dining room and all the lads were really concerned about him.

Harry laughted and told them "I'm OK, really, just feel a bit stupid to be honest! I was in the shower washing my hair when I accidentally got some in my eyes....I couldn't bloody see and when I went to grab the shower hose to clear my eyes I banged the front of my head on the shower door and then fell over banging the back of my head on the floor!! When I woke up I saw 2 strange faces asking me if I was OK!!"

The lads cheered and came and either patted him on the back or ruffled his hair! Calling him clumsy or stupid.

When Liam called him a "stupid boy!" Harry immediately said "don't tell him pike"

Most of the lads knew exactly what TV series this came from but some didn't have a clue what he was talking about!!

Henry looked relieved that Harry was ok and looked pleased when Harry went and sat next to him.

Connor and Martin was looking happy and I wondered why?

Leo then asked if anybody has free time tonight if they wouldn't mind helping Connor and Martin help move their stuff into flat 12 one of the new flats?

A big cheer went up and many hands went up into the air saying they will help them!!!

Part 1959

As most of the lads were helping Connor and Martin move into their new flat, Leo came up to see me in my flat.

He told me about the offer that he made to John and Henry and asked if they have seen me about it?

We were drinking our cappuccinos when their was a knock at the door. It was John and Henry.

Dylan invited them in and they sat on the sofa.

He made them a coffee and made an excuse to leave.......

Leo said he will go as well but Henry asked him to stay.....

They both looked a bit embarrassed and kept looking at each other....

In the end it was Henry who spoke.

"Thank you for the offer of work here and for the offer of one of the new staff flats. We have both thought really carefully about Leo's offer, but feel we should be doing more as we don't want to seem to be taking the piss. Working 8-4 Monday to Friday doesn't seem right to us when all the others work anytime day and evening and weekends. We would both feel better if we could do other things as well. Like today John helped out the afternoon teas and tomorrow night we're both working at the dinner dance...John helping with the waitering and me on the bar?"

Both me and Leo listened without interrupting......

When he finished talking I asked John how he felt about all this?

John looked at Henry before saying "as Henry said if we are to be able to join the team and feel part of the team here we just have to help them out."

Leo smiled... "You will be part of the team regardless of the hours or jobs that you do, as everybody has different functions in the hotel"

"Yes, said Henry, we know that, but look at Ian.. not only does he deal with the gardens in the day he works at night....same as Tony, he works in the day and looks after the bar in the evenings and works practically every day including weekends...God knows how many hours them 2 work each week. And the kitchen staff work split shifts and weekends as well. And here's us, working 8-4 Monday to Friday, no evenings, no weekends and live in one of the new flats for the same rent as them! Hardly fair that is, is it?"

I must confess that stumped both me and Leo!! They did have a valid point.

Part 1960

Both me and Leo were impressed with what the lads were saying...

"Yes, said Leo, I can understand where your coming from but you have been employed for a specific reason. But I will make you a deal...if we need any help on the evenings and weekends and you are willing, we will pay you for the extra work that you do. So have you now made your mind up about my offer yet?"

John looked at Henry and Henry looked back......it was Henry that said "yes please Leo and Jason, we would like too take you up on your offer, work here full time and live in"

Leo shook both their hands, as did I. They both looked pleased and relieved. Henry told us he has to give a month's notice on his flat. Leo told them that they can move into their new flat as of tomorrow and he won't charge them rent for the next 4 weeks.

Now, I thought the lads had got one up on Leo for a moment, until Leo produced 2 x staff contracts, a occupancy rental agreement and 2 key cards for the flat door!!

Good old Leo read the situation perfectly as he does!!

I think these 2 will be a valuable asset to the hotel.

I then went to see how Connor and Martin was getting on moving into their new staff flat......

When I got their I saw Harry, Luke, Liam and Arlo just leaving....all of Connor and Martins stuff were now in and they were sorting out what goes where. They both were extremely happy and Martin offered me a cappuccino straight away.

As we were drinking our cappuccinos their was a knock on the door. Martin went to answer it....it was Dylan with a 'goody' box for them of bread, milk, tins of food etc etc.

Then Billy arrived with a box full of cleaning stuff for them like washing up liquid, toilet rolls, polish, washing machine stuff etc.

The lads certainly look after each other without any doubt.

Billy asked me if I could go and have a word with Arlo, as he is worried about his charity dinner dance tomorrow night.....

I went to Arlo's flat...he was their with Brandon who was, it seemed, trying to 'console' him?

Brandon told me that Arlo is "shitting" himself that tomorrow is going to be a failure and it all goes wrong.

We managed to calm Arlo down and told him that everything is organised and he is too stop worrying. All the lads are helping out and you have me and Leo watching over things.....

The next morning......

Breakfast......

Harry comes down like a bull in a China shop, shouting and swearing at everybody and threatening to kill "the person who nicked 'teddy'" (thats the teddy that the WI gave me when he was in hospital)

Luke was trying to calm him down but Harry wasn't having any of that and pushed Luke away.

Sean, like a fucking idiot told Harry "that he's kid*apped 'teddy' and holding him to ransom!!"

It was obvious that Sean was joking and making light of the situation.

Harry flew across the room, knocking Alex and Tom flying and punched Sean full in the face!! As Sean fell to the floor, Harry jumped on him and punched him in the face again.

By the time I got their Connor, John and Henry was trying to pull Harry off of Sean!! ......

Jesus wept....Harry is bloody strong when he's worked up and even though the lads had hold of his arms and was dragging him off Sean, Harry started kicking Sean in the chest and legs.

In the end it took Connor, John, Henry and Tony to hold Harry down on the floor. Harry was shouting that he's going to kill him if he's harmed teddy in any way and still was struggling to get free.

I knelt down beside him and told him that Sean was joking and he hasn't got 'teddy'......

Harry burst onto more tears screaming "where is he then? Where's Teddy!"

I looked around the table at all the lads and all of them denied knowing about about teddy.

Wot the fuck is happening? Where's "teddy"?

Part 1963.

Harry was still struggling on the floor and crying.....

Luke told us that 'teddy' means the world to Harry, he sleeps with it in our bed and it's a great comforter for him when he has one of his headaches.

Liam told the lads to let go of him, he's needs comfort and reassurance not being pinned on the floor....

The lads let him up but Harry just crawled into a ball and sobbed.

Sean sat next to him and hugged him saying he was really joking and of course he hasn't got anything to do with 'teddys' disappearance. Harry was now sat with his legs up to his face and his head in his hands.

I asked him when he last had 'teddy'?......

He said he remembers having him when he was sitting on the sofa with Luke watching TV....

Luke told us that was right...and just before they went to bed he took some rubbish out to the skip outside.

Henry asked what happened next....

"I took the rubbish out, left the door open, so I could get back in. I dumped the rubbish, came back and Harry was in the shower. I cleaned the kitchen up a bit and heard Harry come out of the shower and go into the bedroom. I turned the lights off and had a quick shower myself. When I got in the bedroom, Harry was already asleep?

Harry got up this morning and after a bit he noticed that 'teddy' was missing. That's when he came down here, fuming and swearing and threatening to kill whoever has 'teddy'

I once again asked who's got 'teddy' as teddy is just that a teddy bear?

They were adamant that nobody has him...

This has gone too far now and I told the lads 'who's ever got him tell me now or if I find out that somebody took him, even as a joke, then that person can pack his bags and fuck off and don't come back"

Harry pleaded for the return of 'teddy".....

All of a sudden I heard Ian say "oh shit" and left the staff dining room

Part 1964

Harry was distraught.......

'Teddy' means so much to him and is his Comforter. Teddy is always their for him in his hour of need....

I was fucking fuming.....

I was also serious about sacking and chucking out the shit that nicked 'teddy' whoever it was. Even as a joke you don't do things like that to somebody who nearly died on the operating table...

Yea ok, I know I'm a bit biased with regards to Harry, but I gave whoever it was the chance to come forward. To see Harry crying and pleading for 'teddy' was a horrible, emotional sight......

I looked around the lads....not one of them would have done this to Harry or anybody else for that matter. They were such a 'close knitted family'. The lads that were here when Harry collapsed and was admitted to hospital for a life saving operation were in tears. Everybody visited him, supported him, encouraged him, told him they loved him, held his hand, cried.

I saw a few of the lads now in tears as well.

Then, guess who comes strutting into the staff dining room with 'teddy'?

I'll give you a clue....black, 4 paws and a tail!!

He marched up to harry with 'teddy' in his mouth, climbed up onto his lap, curled up into a ball and used 'teddy' as a pillow before meowing and closing his eyes!!

I saw the look on Harry's face...

Fuck me, cat for Dinner tonight!

Harry's going to kill Smudge with his bare hands!!

Before anybody could react Harry took 'teddy', pushed smudge off, stood up and walked out of the dining room clutching 'teddy' to his chest.

The lads all looked at each other and then at me...nobody said anything and then we all looked at smudge who was now laying on the floor meowing and purring!!

Ian came back, very red faced, saw Smudge and stupidly asked him where 'teddy' was!!! (Sorry Ian but you did ask him!)

Luke told him that Smudge brought 'teddy' to Harry who now has him and then disappeared.

Luke said he's going to his flat to make sure Harry is OK.

Ian picked Smudge up by the scruff of his neck and walked out with him.

The lads then looked and me and I apologised to them for what I said.

Part 1965

The way Ian grabbed Smudge by scruff of his neck I knew Smudge was in deep trouble......

I told Ian to calm down and think before he does anything stupid with Smudge.

Liam was dealing with Sean...he had a cut lip and a no doubt a black eye later!!!

Sean was really upset, not with Harry punching him but for what he said that caused the punch in the first place.

Arlo was now upset saying "I knew something was going to go wrong" obviously he was referring to his charity dinner dance tonight.

It was Billy that told him "Arlo this is nothing to do with tonight and will not affect your charity do. I guarantee that, as we are all for it and will make it work"

Everybody agreed and cheered saying how much they are looking forward to it.....

Sean said he has to go and see Harry and make sure he is OK. I told him it might be wise to wait a bit, but he was adamant that he goes now....

This is Sean's account:-

Hello.....Sean writing this part...

I felt stupid and ashamed of what I said to Harry.....

It was supposed to be a harmless joke and a laught....obviously Harry didn't see it like that and I don't blame him for reacting like he did. I deserved it if I'm honest.

I should have known better as I was their when Harry originally collapsed and we were told that he might not survive. I was one of many of the lads that visited him held his hand and prayed for him. I was also their when the WI gave him "teddy".

I felt like shit and even though Jason told me to wait before going to see Harry and apologise again, I just had to go their and then. Not only is Harry a work colleague but I consider him a friend as well.

I went to his flat....stood outside his front door for a couple of minutes, taking deep breaths, before knocking. Luke answered the door.. before he could say anything I pleaded with him to let me see Harry.

He let me in and I saw Harry laying on the sofa just in a pair of shorts. He was cuddling 'teddy'

I again apologised to him and Harry then apologised for hitting me.

He stood up and gave me a hug....Harry, you didn't realise at the time, what that simple hug meant to me......

He then told me..."We have a lot of work to do tonight, and owe it to Arlo to make this dinner great. So you better be on your best behaviour or I'll punch you again!". He then laughted and hugged me again. Thanks Harry...

The guys will work hard to make the charity event a success I'm sure. Harry now realises the guys wouldn't upset him by stealing teddy

I'm pleased that Harry and Sean has made up.

Arlo is so worried about his charity bash tonight....he didn't know but his dad and Aidens mum and dad are coming to the dinner dance tonight. They are staying at Arlo's mums house as the hotel is full!!!

All of the lads are really excited and looking forward to helping out.

Dylan has all the kitchen staff and helpers in at 4pm to prepare the meals and John and Henry have volunteered to meet and greet the guests with Scott and Peter showing the guests to their tables. When the guests are all seated Henry is helping out at the bar and John is helping to serve the meals on the tables.

Every person has a job to do and it was all done by them volunteering for whichever role they fancied doing!

Tony, Ian, Sam and Joe are 'security' and general helpers, helping where ever needed.

Darren is the official photographer. He is going to visit all the tables and ask to take photos and then sell them too them to raise more money for Arlos charity.

I have asked all staff to report in full uniform at 6pm for a briefing session.

You always hear about young up to no good, always late for work. But these guys are the complete opposite. There are a credit to the you ger generation and to you and the hotel. They are one big family and we love them all

Part 1967

Leo called for me, Harry, Luke, and Ian to reception.

Leo took us into the office....

He turned on the cctv security cameras on the big screen.

He turned the footage back to last night.......

We could clearly see Luke empty a bin in the big bin outside. Leo had cameras put their to monitor after the arson attack we had.....

He fast forwarded the footage.....

We then saw Smudge jump up onto the bin and disappear in it.....

We were then shocked to see Smudge then jump down from the bin with 'teddy' in his mouth!!!

10 minutes later we see Smudge enter the hotel with 'teddy' still in his mouth and head for the staff dining room.....

Oh my god!!......

Smudge didn't nick 'teddy' he found it in the bin and was returning it to Harry!!!

Ian said "oh fuck,....Smudge"

Luke admitted he didn't look in the bin before emptying it.

Apparently 'teddy' was on the arm of the sofa with the bin underneath.

Harry said "oh, 'teddy' must have fallen in the bin!"

Harry started crying saying he pushed Smudge away and told him he hates him.

Ian told us that he's put Smudge in his travel basket as punishment and was going to get rid off him....

That made Harry cry more and Luke pleading for Harry to forgive him, as he was the one that accidentally throw 'teddy' in the bin....

Harry then said to Ian that "I've got to see Smudge and apologise to him and give him a cuddle"

Both Harry and Ian went to ians flat to see Smudge.

When they left the office, Luke burst into tears.....

Fair do's to Harry needing to apologise to Smudge. Accidents will happen. It does, however, show just how fragile Harry really is. Handle carefully, although you do that already

Part 1968.

I must explain to the lads at 6pm tonight, at the briefing meeting, what actually happened to 'Teddy'

I must also apologise again for saying what I said....I feel guilty as hell now as deep down I knew nobody would have 'nicked' teddy.

Aiden came to see me.....he's not happy with sitting at reception tonight as he wants to be 'involved more'.....

I explained to him that due to his leg he can't really do much? Aiden wasn't having any of that and pleaded with me that their must be something more he can do?

He put on his puppy look face and I knew he was being serious and wanted to help Arlo make a success of it tonight.

I caved in.....I suggested that perhaps he could go table to table and sell the raffle tickets for the prizes....

Aiden smiled and then said "that's a good idea, I'll make them feel so guilty about me being on crutches they will buy more tickets!"

I couldn't help but smile at that! And that with his Irish charm, I'm sure he will sell lots of tickets!!

I went upstairs to see John and Henry to make sure they were OK and to thank them for helping tonight.

I knocked on their flat door for it to be opened by John in just a pair of shorts....he invited me in and offered me a cappuccino....I sat down on their sofa and Henry came out of the bathroom, drying his hair. He was stark bollock naked!!

He made no effort to cover himself up and just continued to dry his hair and then his body.....

John returned with 3 cappuccinos and we all sat drinking them....

Henry didn't give a damn he was sitting their naked with just a towel covering his cock and balls!!

They were more than happy to volunteer tonight and help out.

Their was a knock on their door..it was Connor and Martin. They came to see if they were OK? I thought that was nice of them and then noticed that they were dressed in just shorts and sliders?

It seems like this is the standard dress for the lads living in?

Again, Henry made no effort to cover himself up!!!

Henry asked them if they wanted a coffee...he then stood up and walked naked to the kitchen!! He returned holding 2 cups of coffee with his 'tackle' on full display!!

John smiled at me and said "don't worry he's always naked!! From a young age his parents took him to nudist camps!! They were naturists!

Connor and Martin looked at him then at me and laughted. Connor saying "a naturist? Too fucking brave for me that!!"

Part 1969

Our evening meal was served at 5pm.

6pm.....

All the staff were assembled and god, I have never seen so many staff all at the same time dressed in full staff uniform, apart of course Aiden who was wearing shorts.

Arlo looked good in his dinner suit and bow tie!!

Arlo and Billy reminded everybody of their jobs tonight and everybody shouted "YES...LETS DO THIS!"

All staff went to their appointment posts and I asked Arlo and Aiden to follow me......we went to the office.

As we got their, Arlo's and Aidens mums and dad's were waiting for them!!!

The lads reaction to seeing their parents were priceless....it was hugs all round.

I went and got Brandon and Josh who were also suprised.....both sets of parents hugged them as well...

Arlos Dad told him "he wouldn't have missed this fund raiser for all the tea in China"..(and b4 you ask Dylan has heard that phrase b4!!)

Aidens dad said "Is grá linn tú, a bhúachaillí".

I later found out that was gaelic for "love you boys"

Aiden showed their parents to their table......

The guests started arriving and was met and greeted by John and Henry and seated at their designated table by Scott and Peter.

The bar was getting busy and the food smelling absolutely delicious.

All guests seated....here we go!!

Arlo got up on stage and took the microphone......

Part 1970.

Arlo took the microphone. The background music stopped.....

Arlo took a deep breath....

"Thank you all for attending tonight's charity fund raiser. First of all I would like to thank the hotel as they have given me the use of the hotel free of charge and is only charging me cost price for the meal. And all the staff including the chefs have all volunteered and donated their time tonight!"

A big cheer went up with lots of clapping and shouts off well done.

Arlo then said "you will notice a lad on crutches hopping around, that's my cousin Aiden. He's going table to table to hopefully encourage you to buy raffle tickets for the great prizes we have. And another lad, Darren will be going round with his camera and can take whatever photograph of you and your table. For a fixed fee of course but all profits going to my charity. So enjoy the disco, the meal and the live band for you to dance too"

Arlo got a big cheer and a standing ovation.

The function room was buzzing and the beer and wine flowing....the bar was extremely busy...thank god Henry was helping.....

Within 30 minutes of the function starting the bar sold over 120 bottles of wine....the bar had already taken over £3,500!!

Part 1971

The Dj was playing, their was laughter and joking between the guests. A lovely atmosphere to be honest, with the drinks flowing well.

Aiden was hopping round selling raffle tickets for the prizes. Within an hour he had sold a book full of 1000 tickets at £10 for a strip of 5. Bloody hell he has sold £2,000 worth already!!

He hopped to reception and deposit the money into the safe and asked Simon if we had anymore raffle tickets? He didn't know but good old Leo did!! He handed Aiden another book of raffle tickets but a different colour to the other ones.

The meal was now being served:-

Appetizer:

A delicate salad with grilled asparagus and goat cheese.

Vegetarian Option: A flavorful mushroom and truffle risotto or a butternut squash and sage ravioli.

Main Course:

Roasted rack of lamb with rosemary and garlic, a filet mignon with a red wine reduction

Vegetarian Option: A hearty vegetable Wellington with a mushroom and truffle sauce

Sides:

Sautéed Brussels sprouts with bacon and maple syrup with roasted vegetables.

Dessert:

A chocolate lava cake with raspberry sauce

The staff was serving well, quickly and efficiently each table.

More wine bottles were appearing on the tables!! The bar was extremely busy!

Darren was still taking his photos and so far he reckons he has about 100 payments of £10. My god that's another £1,000!

Part 1972

The food being served smelt absolutely delicious!!!

I had to stop both Arlo and especially Aiden running around or in Aidens case hopping and made them sit down at their parents table for at least an hour.

I went into the kitchen to praise the lads for the quality of food that was being served. Dylan definitely had things all organised and the lads knew exactly what to do and when to do it!!

Dylan then told me that he has given all the lads tomorrow off apart from Harry and Martin. Him and Martin are doing breakfasts, and then him and Harry are doing the Sunday carvery and then him and Martin doing evening meal.....

Bloody hell Dylan!!!

John was cool, calm and collect doing his waitering...taking it all in his stride on his designated tables. He was smiling and chatty. He told me he was enjoying it and then in a LOUD voice said "the quality of food is outstanding and so far all the diners on my tables have said 'complements to the chef' on the wonderful food"

I could see all the kitchen staff, stop and listen to John and the smile at each other!!

Well done lads, throughly deserved!

I went back into the function room and could see the 8 piece band getting ready to play......at the moment it was just background music being played when the guests were eating.

I needed a drink and headed to the bar....it was quiet as the guests were eating.

Tony told me "thank god Henry was helping out in the bar. Everybody seemed to come at once at the same time as the staff came with orders!"

Henry smiled as he was emptying the glass cleaner machine and putting the clean glasses away.

Tony also told me that their nearly out of bottles of the house wine and he will have to put an order in first thing Monday.

Tony handed me a pile of cash notes and card receipts. I put them in the safe. Jesus their was a lot of cash and card receipts for one evening. Simon told me that that's the 5th time money has been deposited in the safe from the bar......

The staff were now clearing the tables after the guests had finished eating......

The band was now getting ready to play!!

Part 1973.

Now obviously most of the guests know how Arlo and his 'lads' raise money at shows etc......

It wasn't long before the guests were asking the waitresses etc if Arlo had his group of lads with him and whether he was going to put on a show??!!

Soon, one or two tables were chanting for Arlo and his **** **** lads to put on a show!!!!

Arlo had to take to the stage and explain that his 'group' wasn't here and he couldn't perform as his Mum and Aunt and Dad and Uncle were in the audience!!!

Their was a few "boos and cheers" and Arlo didn't know then what to say or do!!!

Harry being Harry saw that Arlo was now struggling so he joined him on the stage.....

Harry took the microphone and asked for hush!

"Ladies and I guess some gentlemen, you have been told Arlo doesn't have his performers with him and he doesn't obviously want to strip in front of his Mum and Aunt!!! But..if between you, you raise £3,000, that's £20 each I will get some of the hotel lads to perform down to their boxers!!!

Arlo looked at Harry, thinking his gone totally mad!!!

To that Harry took off his shirt in front of everybody!!!!

My god, people were now waving notes in the air.....!!!!

Harry then told the crowd "here's the deal....I'll get 6 lads to perform later IF the £3,000 is reached! If its not then we don't perform and their will be no refunds!

The crowd cheered .....

Leo grabbed 2 buckets and Aiden and John went collecting the money!!!

What the fuck have you done Harry!!!
