Chapter 10
Misty and the crew
Angie is sitting on the couch in the basement listening to music. when she hears a knock on the door. She sees Misty and two moving vans parked on the side of the street. Angie smiles and says, “Misty there’s going to be only like twenty people here. This is just a little private party nothing more. I looks like your doing a show for a hundred guest.” Misty smiles and says, “Angie come on. You know people always brings more than you expected. Anyway I’m paying for this so just sit back and relax.” Angie nods and says, “feels weird not doing anything.” Misty hands her a mic and says, “Here coordinate”. Angie takes it then attaches the radio to her belt then the ear piece in her ear. Misty is walking people with sound equipment down to the basement.
Angie walks around showing people where to put decorations and equipment. Angie walks up to misty and says, “Why the equipment I already have a sound system here.” Misty nods and says, “It’s just a amp for the sound table” Angie nods and goes back to coordinated. Misty then looks at her phone after there done and says, “What time do we show up tomorrow.” Angie says, “I told him it starts at four so I’m expecting the guest at four thirty.” Misty nods and says, “OK well be here at three. what time is the woman of honor showing up?” Angie replies, “Beth is suppose to call me when they leave. it’s a four hour drive so they should b here around four. But I told Beth if they show up before four to call. So I can give Kit a mundane task to do.” Misty nods and waves her crew on and says, “OK good luck.”
Angie gets a conscience
Mike walks from his floor to the living room as the last of the crew are leaving. Curious to see what it looks like Mike walks down the basement.
There’s streamers hanging from the ceiling. Towards where the front of the house would be where the sitting area is is a table with a sound board and other stereo equipment Mike blinks and says, “Damn Angie when you go you go all out.” Angie smiles and points to the table and says, “I just needed the sound table nothing else.” He looks at some large stage speakers and says, “I hope people don’t like hearing.” Angie laughs and walks over to him holding her side and says, “that’s encase we get more than expected and is very loud.” She shrugs and says, “Misty plans for every possible situation.” She points to a first ad kit and says, “I have to admit I should of already had one down here.”
Mike nods and asks, “Are you nervous?” Angie shrugs and says, “I never thought I’d be asking her this. Yes when we where little I dreamed of me and her fooling around when we where alone but I never thought I’d be asking her to marry me.” Mike sighs and says, “Honestly at one time I would of sworn I’d be proposing to you. So this is a bit weird for me. I mean your asking my sister to marry you.”
Angie smiles and looks into his eyes and says, “Do you ever miss what we had?” Mike nods and says, “Yes”. Then they lean in and begin kissing. Angie feels a sickness in her stomach before pulling back. Right as Mike reaching his arms around her.
Angie takes a second and says, “I don’t know what happened but I started feeling like I was going to puck and I was sad at the same time.” She stands there with a worried look for a second. Mike laughs and says, “that's called a conscience Angie. you feel bad for kissing someone other than Kit. But if it makes you feel better she does fuck her boss.” Angie nods and says, “We agreed a while back what we where aloud to fuck the opposite sex. just now I feel bad.” Mike kisses her cheek and says, “If it makes you feel better you can call her and ask” He’s joking but Angie does think about it, before deciding against it. She shakes her head and says, “I think I better finish up here. Kit will be here tomorrow.”
Mike walks turns to go back upstairs but stops and says, “Angie what if she says no?” Angie sighs and says, “I’m expecting her to. Hell I’ve cheated on her broken up with her multiple times. Almost gave her a break down from someone trying to kill me that was intending to her. Honestly I think I’m a little crazy” Mike laughs and as he’s walking up the stairs says, “Angie that was determined a while back but honestly you belong as a Mathews we’re all a little nuts.” He stops for a second then says, “except Chase and Sarah something ephedrine with them. there normal”. Angie laughs and says, “It was that chemical spill a few years ago they didn’t get the water cleaned up all the way.” Mike laughs and opens the door saying, “Yeah that's it. We’re alley bunch of chemical mutants”
Chase’s date
Chase pulls up to Heather’s house right as the sun is going down. He’s expecting to see her brother walk out again but sees her in a yellow sundress. He can’t keep his eyes off the way they make her breast look bigger, he’s resisting the urge to comment about it as she walks in and asks how she looks. but instead he nods and says, “You look amazing.” She smiles and says, “Thanks. I was worried that his was just another coffee date and I was to dressed up” Chase laughs and says, “No I’m taking you to see a movie then if you don’t mind I have reservations at Le Repas” Heather nods and says, “Yeah there a great steak house just no idea why they named themselves the meal in french”
There going down the road and Chase shrugs saying, “I’ve heard the owner has a great since of humor. Maybe of just wanted to use it as a joke” Heather nods and says, “Or wanted it to sound fancy and googled something he’d think no one would know.” Chase nods and says, “Well I though it was Latin so I guess he fools some.” Heather sighs and says, “I guess being a middle school teacher helps me” Chase laughs and says, “Oh that’s what you do. I’ve been wanting to ask but didn't want to sound rude” She smiles and says, “Yep I teach thirty or so seventh grade boys and girls health and science”
Chase smiles and says, “Health huh? I bet teaching them puberty is fun” Heather groans and says, “Yeah lots. I always get a few snickers when I say gonads” Chase smiles and says, “Yeah I never knew what was so funny about that. But we’re here”.
After they see the movie they leave for the restaurant. Chase asks, “So did you like it?” Heather nervously smiles and says, “I feel a sleep on your shoulder” Chase smiles and replies, “I thought you where just getting comfortable but yeah who’d thought a movie about about a moose that works in the tropics and takes a break every few minutes to do a monologue would be bad” Heather gets the sarcasm and says, “The reviewers gave it a great rating” Chase frowns and says, “Honestly I think they pay people to give those ratings or it’s just one person acting like all of those giving the same rating because I tried rating one and never could find my post” Heather smiles and says, “Sorry” Chase smiles and says, “No I enjoyed it”
They pull into a small restaurant with windows everywhere and a roof that goes down in an angle. In the middle of the parking lot is a sign that says, “Le Repas”
Chase finds a parking place behind a blue pickup, then gets out to open Heather’s door. Before holding hands and walking inside.
Inside there taken right to there seat as soon as they walk in. Heather smiles and says, “Last time I was here I had to wait an hour. This is nice.” Chase looks at the dirty looks there getting from people waiting, and says, “Yeah that’s why I reserve a table they guarantee they’ll honor it to or your money back and a free desert.”
Later that night Chase and her are standing on the pouch holding hands saying goodbye. Heather smiles and says, “I had fun despite the movie being bad. The food was amazing.” Chase nods and says, “Yeah. want to do this again sometime?” Heather smiles and says, “Yes. this time lets go see an action movie.” Chase smiles and says, “Want to see the new superhero movie?” Heather nods and says, “The one with the heroes no one ever heard and know everyone’s geniuses on? Or the other?” Chase smiles and says, “How about the Truth Team?” Heather smiles and says, “Sounds great. See you next week” Chase smiles and says, “Yep” and watches her go inside before heading back to his car.
