and two slightly smaller rooms, plus one additional bathroom.
“So
Conner, what room do you think you would like?”
“I
think I will take the one across from you, if that’s OK. That way
if I get scared I can get to you fast,” Conner said.
“That’ll
work,” Kate said, ruffling her son’s hair.
Back
downstairs, Kate ordered a genuine NY style pizza to be delivered.
Her and Conner sat and ate the pizza while watching a movie on her laptop
using her mobile phone’s hot spot since they didn’t have cable
internet set up yet.
After
Conner went to bed Kate spent a couple hours unpacking her suitcases. She
figured she could work on Conner’s stuff tomorrow. Kate went into
the bathroom to change and started brushing out her hair. Staring
into the mirror she let her mind drift back through the day. She was
still a little hot under the collar. Who did he think he was?
Apparently the premier guitarist in a top rock band. Kate made a
mental note to actually Google them. She didn’t really pay
attention outside the country music world.
“Tank.
Ready for some dinner?”
“Woof!”
“OK
Buddy,” Brett said as he filled Tank’s food dish. “So, I saw
that you really liked that little boy,” He said softly to his
amazing dog. “Thank you for being such a good dog.” Brett gave
him some loving pats.
“Woo
oo ooo!” Tank woofed, as if to say ‘no problem’.
Brett
left Tank to finish his food and made his way to his study slash man
cave slash music room. He poured two fingers of whiskey and made his
way over to a comfy couch where his song writing guitar laid along
with his notebook of songs. He hummed and strummed his way through
his feelings and his day. The words five foot nothin’ and spitfire
wandered through his head. Thank goodness his balls were still
intact was another thought that crossed his mind.
His
mind switched gears to the boy. He was very well behaved. He wasn’t
surprised that Tank took to him. He loved kids. Maybe that was why
he chose Tank. He was fantastic with Joe and Pauline’s kids. Almost
like Tank was an extension of the feelings and premonitions that he
had all the time.
Good! Keep it coming sis.
