limpet and stayed there. I
can't even begin to put into words how amazing it feels to awaken like this, I
kissed her brow before easing her off of me so I could return to my own room
and get ready for the day. Lord knows what kind of mood she's going to be in
after last night's theatrics. I got a few mumbles before she settled back into
sleep like a little kitten whose claws were sheathed it made me smile. Yep, I'm
definitely keeping her, and her loony toons father as
well.
I’d made up my mind about that, there's no way I could see separating those
two, it seemed almost cruel somehow, I'd just have to buy a mouth cage for the
chief to keep his lips clamped shut so he couldn't start any trouble. We'd have
to go back to Lexington though to get their affairs in order, pack up the house
and do whatever they wanted with it, I doubt chief would want to sell so we'll
have to figure something out. Either way they were coming here to stay, if I
had to lie my ass off to convince them it's what Phil
would've wanted, I'm not above that either.
"Where's the town drunk still sleeping it off?"
I must be crazy to think I wanted to subject myself to this for the rest of my
life.
"Can you be nicer when you speak of my future wife?"
"Future...since when? Nobody said anything to me, exactly what went on up
those stairs last night boy?"
I ignored him and kept heading towards the kitchen, looks like the whole family
was gone for which I was grateful, I needed some down time.
I set about making coffee while Rumpelstiltskin did
his impression of crazy behind me.
"Would you stop your grumbling? Nothing happened, I just decided that Sam
is going to be my wife, and you're both coming here to live with me."
"Boy your light bulb went out? Who says I wanna live with you
two? Good merciful heavens, Miss. Priss plus you and the damn dog, what I'm
paying penance for pass sins or something? Oh no, you're on your own there son,
I'm going back home where I can finally have some peace and quiet, I haven't
had any since that girl came home at one week old, she's been hell on wheels
ever since then."
"You're coming and that's final."
"Why do I have to come?"
"Because flower would want you to."
"Because flower would want you to." He mocked me.
" What am I her pet monkey? I get to say where I spend my golden years and
it ain't in this mausoleum with Heathcliff and Kate."
"Read the classics do you? It doesn't matter what you say, you're
staying."
" Way to manhandle the invalid." Now he's sulking.
" Invalid my ass, just shut it. You on any kind
of punishment?"
He looked at me bewildered.
"Not that I know of why, what did she say I did now?"
His feathers were getting ruffled.
"Nothing, I was just wondering if there was any reason why you shouldn't
have French toast."
"You want me to come here and live with not one but now two bullies? No sir uh uh , show me to the nearest
exit, it's time for me to go. Tell her I said it was nice knowing her,
I'll be sure and put her crap in the mail and send it to her."
"How you gonna do that, you can't get up the stairs to her room"
"Shit, I forgot about that, oh well, you have enough money around here,
take the girl out and buy her some new denims that ought to do it."
"Chief, put a sock in it will ya, now tell me how to go about this
marriage thing."
He took so long to answer I finally turned from the stove to look
at him. He was staring up at the ceiling, probably asking for guidance again.
"What?"
"Boy, you don't have the sense God gave a duck, now here's what you do,
you go down to your video store and ask them if they have anything showing how
to tame a wild filly, or anything from the animal kingdom, barring that head to
the nearest reservation and ask the local Shaman how to go about it, cause
you're gonna need all the help you can get."
I was tempted to throw the bowl of egg mix at his head, I really was.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Well, marriage is like a type of taming right? So you need to know how
