Chapter IV

Brad's dreams were surprisingly peaceful despite the confusion and feelings of self-anger he was harbouring. He dreamt of days spent on his Grandparents' property, where he had fished for bream in the dam and occasionally seen an eel or turtle during his childhood. He dreamt of the grassy knoll which overlooked the parklands on the border of the property, and remembered the days that he and his grandad sat there to eat a picnic lunch under the shade of the grand Moreton Bay Fig Tree. Its ancient trunk towered many metres into the air with thick branches dispersing in all directions. The tree looked almost prehistoric in its appearance, like a prop straight out of the set from Jurassic Park. Its dense green foliage was like an expansive umbrella, providing the grassy knoll with so much shade and protection from the hot midday sun. They had seen wild birds of the rainforest feasting on the abundant figs and complacent kangaroos munch away on the grass seed just metres away from them, and for Brad growing up, this was a Garden of Eden in every sense. His dreams were filled of happier times spent in this utopia, but the image of his Grandad, a father figure in his life who he respected more than anyone, was somewhat hazy in the dream. The man who had so often sat with him on the knoll or on the bank of the dam was replaced by a younger, attractive boy Brad guessed to be Gabriel. As they sat there in Brad's special place, they talked about life and what the future had in store, just the two of them, uninterrupted, unworried. The dream filled with images of the two boys locked together in each other's arms, Gabriel lying in the lush green grass with Brad on top of him, the two of them making out.

As Brad pressed his crotch into Gabriel who lay there looking so angelic and innocent, he felt Gabriel's luscious hands caressing his back and working their magic on his tired and aching muscles. He felt Gabriel nibbling on his ear, whispering sweet nothings that nobody else could hear. His secrets were spoken like the tranquil winds which teased the upper branches of the treetops and whistled over the valley, having a natural calming effect on Brad as he melted into the boy below him. And how beautiful this boy was. With a face far more remarkable than any of the frivolous women to appear in Browning's poetry, a body chiselled of flesh and bone, unable to be replicated in stone by any of Nathaniel Hawthorne's fabled great sculptors, and a smile that put even Da Vinci's "La Jaconde" to shame, Gabriel Coombes was nothing less than a Godsend - a blessing sent from the highest power in Brad's life, meant to accompany him on his journey through life. And Brad didn't even need to sacrifice a rib.

"I love you," Gabriel whispered, lying so placidly in Brad's garden.

"And I love you," Brad smiled back.
