I'm going home this fucking Saturday and who told me this information you say ? Lawrence fucking Jackson and get this he tricks me and bill into going to the a festival in town when I should be taking her on a cruise or ah pizza date or somethin I dunno who gives arats ass what I think any how

- Dal

I can't decide bill sighed plopping down on the floor all those snacks cece makes and you have nothing ? This is serious quince you know MIlestone's food tastes like  old pants why are you going anyways i thought you hated it there last time Tom- I know .. I know I just feel lousy leaving Dal like I did the summers almost over and he'll be gone soon  my god you two sure act like it's the end of the world  just go visit him you think cece's really gonna let an 18 yr old impressionable  young girl travel all the way to Oklahoma with her boyfriend  yeah right

Worth the try cece loves him that's an understatement great then you both go get outta this hot oven but what about you ? Been there regret that my cousin Tim got me in so much shit all for some soda pop send my regards he smiled patting my head I'll miss you you'll be back one day you and that other crazy kid and maybe soon a even smaller one see ya Q see ya billionaire  throwing in a couple snacks from cece

Where's my goddamn bag Lawrence !! Can you go one day without taring my ears off you seen my bag ? Yeah it's in uh the closet upstairs thanks you got a appointment or somethin ? milestone doesn't start until tonight he called out fat bastard have a good time and how the fuck am I supposed to do that ? I huffed tossing my clothes and toiletries In my army bag eh can I come in ? Depends got any more bad news ? Ah no look will ya just sit down a minute don't you have a date or uh a musty disco party to go to ?

I understand your anger but don't take it out on bill ok and who the hell should I take it out on then ?!! I don't know look Dal I don't want you to go either I kind of like having your mean ass around he chuckled ruffling my hair oh so you like me now ? Don't get a big head good to know I have fans I smiled turning back to my bag I um- I'm not good with these kind of things but I do understand what your feeling If its another story about m- it's not when me and your old man were about five we lived in Virginia and we hang near Virginia Beach we met this girl and we both liked her but you see she had the hots for both of us I knew I had no chance with her she liked bad guys like your father for instance no offense

Anyways bills were starting pile and landlord gave us week to pack up our shit and leave I was devastated your father on the other hand got all his things and left in the night didn't see him again until ma's funeral he sighed whispering the last part that why  you two haven't spoken in years ? I hated your  pops for a long I used to blame him for  making us move away making ma and pop upset but it got better after a while they broke up and your pops moved back I visited her all the time maybe you can do that with Bill think she 'd want to ? Boy do you need some glasses ? Course she would the girls got that look in her eyes she loves you

I don't know man what if she hates it ? Then come back go on a boat date or somethin or boogie or whatever you like to call it he joked wiggling his hips like a Jeanie until I finally cracked a smile yeah I guess your right I still got it have fun today it'll work out he smiled patting my back oh and tell bill I said hi he called out closing my door I shook my head zipping my bag had to admit although he's been a royal pain in the ass I'll miss him though and broiling hot Florida and will's sweaty cab with his broken fan that won't crank and bill my bill I sighed folding my last pair of Hawaiian shorts please don't hate me babe all set ? Yeah the last of it good that's good listen um have a good time

He smiled glumly at the floor hey now don't get all mushy on me I'll be back before you know it maybe even sooner don't push it I will admit it'll be pretty quite round here you should take up dancing again me ? Nah hips are to wide I don't groove like I used to I don't know man that little genie dance ya did back there lol sseemed like something to me ha that's basic stuff should've seen me back then boy I used to move I believe you well be seeing you old man I smiled patting his shoulder you two you rascal he chuckled pulling me in a hug you  kids have fun

But not to much fun later Lawrence this was really it the end of the line never thought I could fathom missing such a place almost as much as I miss livin in Tulsa but not nearly enough is that my favorite boy in the whole wide world ? A sweet voice spoke from a distance bill who's askin ? I smirked spinning around to the warm taxi your favorite taxi driver hey will I chuckled slipping in pecking bill's cheek sweets she smiled stroking my cheek now where is it shall I be taking you few ? Milestone mick heard of it ? Haven't been in years little bit of a drive I know I can be a bore fest are you kidding your the best cabbie in Florida aw shucks guys your making me blush well you guys are the best passengers I've ever had

And I mean that you think I like driving these other wackos round ? They don't pay me nearly enough he chuckled dabbing his face with his famous red bandanna you ok ? Yeah why ? Your quitter than usual and there's normally something wrong when your like this There isn't i  swallowed hard feeling beads of sweat  starting to form well if you say so she smiled nuzzling under my arm thank god I gasped as if I've been holding my breath all night you  should sleep and wake up in Mexico or Vegas somewhere I love you both but that's a hard pass sleep she smiled looking in my eyes I thought for a mil a second and then bam I was out like a light

You've bewitched him Will chuckled resting his wrinkled fingers along the steering wheel dabbing his neck again with his Red bandanna ha I wouldn't say that I'm serious never seen anything like it folks ought a take some notes from you  guys thanks will I smiled so Uh how long you think he has before he hasn't said But I'm guessing soon ah I'm sorry kid don't worry about it bound to happen anyhow just never expected so soon that tears it he huffed throwing his hands in the air you guys don't deserve this it ain't right it's really alright Will honest no way you guys deserve more than Mick's like what ? I smiled stifling my laugh once I noticed how frustrating this was for him

I  dunno kid I'm just ramblin I thought about a romantic evening dinner kind of thing but I don't know how to put together one of those he frowned starting up the engine again do it punk you won't Dal murmured making himself more comfortable in my arms wonder what he dreams about n-no you can't have her I smiled a little to myself pecking his cheak today's supposed to be fun but I fear I won't be able to enjoy it due to this sudden ache in my chest
