CHAPTER 9 - UH, HELLO?
“You
sick, sick little man” Mandy squealed
She looked
down at AJ in disgust.
“Wake up”
she moaned, kicking his side
He didn’t
budge.
“Uh, AJ,
wake up” she said again, kicking harder this time, so him
body actually jumped
“Oh man”
she moaned, another drunk to deal with, as if Stone Cold wasn’t
enough
~ In Florida ~
“Nice
here huh?” Brian remarked as the Taxi drove along the palm
tree lined roads
“It’s
just like Kentucky only with more fake palm trees” Taymar
shrugged
Brian sunk
down in his seat, this didn’t seem like such a wonderful
idea now.
~ In Kentucky
~
“Down,
no, don’t do that, Thomas, down, kids no, wait STOP!”
Kevin screamed
The children
stopped dead in their tracks.
“I’ll
give you fifty bucks if you sit down and watch TV for the rest of
the day” he announced in a businessman tone
They looked up
at him in wonder.
“Can you
buy me a pony?” Briar questioned, her large blue eyes
looking up at Kevin
“Shit,
why not” Kevin shrugged
“Shit”
Felicia laughed “shit, shit, shit”
“No, don’t
say that” Kevin announced stiffly
“Shit!”
Felicia grinned
“Fuck”
Kevin muttered
“Fuck”
Felicia growled coping Kevin
He shook his
head and flopped down into the chair,
“I want a
motorcycle” Thomas declared
“You
gonna be good?”
He nodded
enthusiastically.
“Then
sure, why the hell not”
“HELL”
Felicia shouted
~ In Florida ~
“Nickolas,
you did it again” Cindy stomped
“Did
what?” Nick moaned, like a small child been told off
“You left
the god damn toilet seat up, for god sakes”
Nick muttered
something in response.
“God, you
can be so useless sometimes” she nagged
“I'm
going to the beach” Nick announced opening the front door
Before Cindy
could retaliate, he was gone.
~*~*~
Meghan bit
down on her lips as she pulled her hair up into a ponytail and
sighed. She was sick of the church, sick of most things,
and now this snuffle person was pissing her off.
She’d
decided not to go to church today, instead she would forget about
Father Howie, and set her sights for the first man she spotted
worth a treat. She nodded her approval to herself grabbed
her beach bag and headed off.
~*~*~
“So, what
about going to the beach, I mean, its just there” Brian
smiled as he looked out the window of the hotel room that cost
him at least 2 weeks paychecks
“Fine,
whatever” Taymar sighed
Brian smiled
to himself. He’d seen her packing her bags, she’d
put in the modest one piece that she seemed to wear these days.
He’d taken it out and replaced it with the sexy 2 piece she’d
hidden at the bottom of her draw.
Taymar
rummaged through her suitcase and looked down agitated.
“I'm sure
I packed it” she muttered, questioning her memory
“Packed
what darling?” Brian chirped
“My
swimsuit it doesn’t seem to be here”
“Sure, it
is” Brian smiled as he went directly to the spot he’d
put the bikini.
“Here it
is” he announced victoriously, flinging it in the air
“Not that
one, I didn’t pack that one”
She spent
another 10 minutes looking before coming to the conclusion the 2
piece was the only one there.
“I guess
you’ll be going by yourself then” she said
matter-of-factly
“Why?”
Brian moaned, he hadn’t counted on that
“Because
I don’t have a swimsuit”
“This one”
Brian reminded holding the bikini up
“I'm not
wearing that”
“Go on,
its okay, I don’t mind all the fella’s looking”
Brian smiled
“I doubt
it fits”
“10 bucks
says it does”
Taymar looked
at Brian quizzically.
“If it
doesn’t, I'm not wearing it” she announced
Brian nodded.
She grabbed it
from him and slinked into the bathroom as Brian smiled to
himself. He was going to get some this weekend!
~ In Kentucky

Jessandra
stepped off the plane and looked around.
“Ah,
Kentucky, I remember you, the state of my youth” she smiled,
breathing deeply
“Where to
miss?” the taxi driver questioned as she stepped in
“Fifth
Street”
The older
balding man nodded, then drove away.
~*~*~
“You
wanna go somewhere?” The old man sniffed loudly as Rachel
looked at the grubby cab in horror”
“God”
she muttered under her breath as she hopped cautiously in,
careful not to crease her Armani skirt “Fifth street”
she announced closing the door. The cab sped off, slamming
her into the back of the dirty back seat.
~*~*~
“Where do
you want it?” the horseman inquired chewing on a piece of
straw
“Just
there, behind the fence” Kevin shrugged
“My pony,
I love it, I love it” Briar cried extatically
“Yeah,
now you gotta be good”
“HIIIIIIIIIIIII”
Thomas laughed as he sped passed the house on his new four-wheel
motorbike
Fifth Street,
a once quite little road, was now home to a motorbike hoon and a
14-hand high horse.
The first taxi
pulled up behind the horse float and Jessandra stepped out.
She paid the man quickly, and walked around the right side of the
float.
The second
Taxi pulled up behind the first, Rachel practically jumped out
and wiped herself off in disgust. She paid the man,
straightened her skirt and went around the left side of the float
Kevin looked
up as two grils approached on either side of the float. His
eyes widened.
“Rachel?
Jess?” he gulped
The two girls
turned to look at each other, before turning back to Kevin.
“Uh,
Hello?” Kevin muttered
