Chapter 51

I’m not really mad at him just a little piqued I’d guess that you’d call it and I hit him a few times in his shoulder.

We both go. “Ow….”

My poor abused knuckles are hurting too much for hitting him now after all the adrenaline has worn off and everything.

“Damn Hunter those bony knuckles of yours sting.”

“Sting? You went ow.”

Alex sort of smiles at me in his little half smile. “You really don’t have the weight to put behind them.”

I laugh. “Nooo kidding you’re like hitting a tank.”

“Yeah well you’re knuckles are bony as hell.”

“You’re just lucky I’m not wearing rings.”

“You’d have trashed any rings you had awhile ago honey with the way you treat your hands.”

I look at my bandaged hands. He’s right actually about that. I have a habit of punching things to feel pain other than the pain that’s going on with me given whatever’s going on at the time.

Not a great habit and kind of like cutting but not either but definitely proof of how fucked up I can be.

Wait…honey, he called me honey.

“You just called me honey…”

“Yeah…” He draws it out kind of cutely like he’s being careful that I might not like it. “I’ve uhm said it before Hunter.”

“Yeah I know but it still catches me by surprise y’know?”

“Really? Hunter we’re together.”

“I know Alex it’s just this is still like some sort of whirlwind movie thing. I’m still sort of breathless from the things that have happened since we met.”

“I know but sometimes it happens like that.”

“Really, I mean I’m no stranger to people hooking up and stuff just being what it is y’know but this…us seems like it just kind of poof happened.”

“Well so what if we did? It could be karma.”

“Karma?”

“Yeah given what you’ve been through and what I’ve been through we’re kind of due y’know.”

I shrug. “I’ve never been up on that kind of thing really it’s too much like justifying things happening.”

“Okay but it wasn’t just fast you know.”

“Seems fast sometimes, it’s kind of scary Alex.”

“Well it’s not Hunter when you think about it, it took me seventeen years and a lot of shit to find you.”

“Okay, okay when you put it that way it’s not as fast but it’s sort of got that…scary kind of meant to be thing.”

“Scary meant to be thing?”

“Yeah, that whole destiny stuff just sort of seems a little out there for me.”

“Too bad.”

“Too bad?”

“Heck yeah it’s called karma, I deserve you.”

I snicker and look at him. “You…you just remember that you said that okay mister?”

He pulls over to the side of the street and kisses me deeply, like really deeply and breaks it taking some of my breath with it and there’s that not quite on his face but in his eyes smile there.

“I’ll remember that all the way to when we’re sitting in our back yard rocking on the porch swing.”

“Yard, our…porch swing?”

He gives me a smaller kiss but turns up the radio as it’s playing some old rock tune and he takes me by the hand and pulls me/helps me out of the car through the driver’s side making me laugh.

“Alex what are we…”

He takes me into his arms and starts to dance with me there in the street…there’s not a lot of traffic thankfully but the people there out on the street are all staring at us.

“Hunter I could live to be a hundred and six and have dementia and not remember my name and I will remember how much that I love you.”

“Alex…..”

I sigh and it’s crazy and kind of one of those embarrassing things but I settle my head on his shoulder and dance with him and just take the moment.

And I swear something gets that night of the supper test yay ow inside as he softly sings along with the guy on the radio.

Girl, you're lookin' fine tonight
And every guy has got you in his sight
What you're doin' with a clown like me
Is surely one of life's little mysteries

So tonight I'll ask the stars above:
How did I ever win your love?
What did I do; What did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way?

Well, I'm the guy who never learned to dance
Never even got one second glance
Across the crowded room was close enough
I could look but I could never touch

So tonight I'll ask the stars above:
How did I ever win your love?
What did I do; What did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way?

Don't anyone wake me if it's just a dream
'Cuz she's the best thing that ever happened to me
All you fellows, you can look all you like
But this girl you see, she's leaving here
With me tonight

There's just one more thing I need to know
If this is love, why does it scare me so?
Must be something only you can see
'Cuz girl, I feel it when you look at me

So tonight I'll ask the stars above:
How did I ever win your love?
What did I do; What did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way?

Okay his voice goes in and out a little bit and he’s I guess what you’d call pitchy? But this was just what I needed after stuff with his mom’s grave and my dad’s grave and the whole day even. My Boyfriend singing Angel eyes by that Jeff Healy guy to me.

It even really is helping to get me sort of centered in that whole bit with my surgery coming up.

God, so fast.

But at the same time…I get this stuff fixed, and I can start actually getting on with my life…I was never meant really to be Will and that’s a lot of me that’s kind of not wasted years but it definitely has me wanting to be like the other girls and to be with Alex like other girls and to not have to hide anymore who I am.

Not that I’m hiding-hiding but it’s not like I can bee carefree with stuff around people yet.

We stop dancing at least a minute or two after that next song had started but we were still slow dancing to the other one that he sang to me mostly I thing because I got all lost in thought and he just kept going until I stopped.

I smile at him. “Alex, can we go home? I really just want to veg and snuggle up with you and maybe make a little love?”

“Sure…but are you sure you want to be…with me? I mean with the surgery and stuff?”

“Uh…yes.” I grin because it was such a derp question. “It might be awhile before I can y’know.”

“Still you don’t have to; I love you Hunter I can wait.”

“So you…don’t want to…?” I say it questioningly but in that playful way.

“That’s not what I said?” he pulls me hard and tight against him and holds me close and kisses me and he’s hug walking me around the car to my door.

He breaks the kiss and I do a little nibble-pull on his lip as he does and that gets me the sexy eyebrow. Y’know that guy kind of ‘Oh really’ look.

He does those kind of things really well y’know.

Dammit I have a sexy boyfriend.

I’m suddenly smiling too and from ear to ear as he get’s my door. He looks at me. “What?”

“What?”

“You’re grinning like crazy.”

“I was just thinking about a movie we watched.”

“Oh?”

“Yeah…Sixteen candles, I can so feel like I’m Molly Ringwald right now.” I bite my lip. “I guess that makes you Jake.”

He gives me that little cute half smile before leaning in and right before he kisses me he says and waggles his eyebrows at me.

“Wott’s happenin Hawtstuff.” In that voice or at least his attempt at it and I burst out laughing and he kissed me hard and deep until that kiss surprised feeling settles and turns into a still kissing sigh….

“Let’s get some take out and go home.” He says.

“You read my mind.” I say smiling up at him.

He closes the door and gets back into the car and we drive and he turns the car stereo up and we’re listening to one of those old rock station but one of those digital ones where it romantic easy listening and stuff.

I can help but to hum to some of them and then we’re sort of badly singing along to stuff like. “Hard habit to break.” and “These eyes.”

It’s…

It this sort of silly stuff you do as teenagers I think or maybe that stuff you do like in a happy relationship?

It’s a lot of fun though all the way to KFC.

I smile at him. “You know me so well.”

He slips his hands in both front pockets and does this sort of guy wander thing inside. “I do, you know this stuff’s bad for you right?”

“Don’t care I’ve only ever had it with you. Besides it’s almost a prescription. I need the fat to put on some weight.”

“Really, well in that case we better get gravy too.”

I skip up the steps just ahead of him. “And the mashed potatoes!”

“Right because they’re so nummy.”

“You haven’t eaten what I’ve eaten babe. Besides we pull off the skin and eat that and he crunchy bits then we dip the chicken in mashed potatoes and then pour some gravy over it all.”

He gets this cute rich boy uhm…no look. “Ew Hunter just ew.”

We get inside and we order some food the big bucket of chicken and a smaller one for April and Adam mashed potatoes, the biscuits, mashed potatoes and extra gravy all on his card. You know? It turns out that neither Alex or myself like any of the other sides that much.

We hate some of the same things. I kind of like that.

He grab our stuff and head home and once we get there I put the stuff on the counter then kiss him.

“Let’s go to bed.”

“We bought food.”

“Hmm…sex or food, or food then sex.” I say grinning at him tilting my head.

“I think I want to work up an appetite.” He scoops me up and over his shoulder and I’m laughing.

“Alex!”

He tosses me gently onto our bed and I smile up at him and he pulls out of the shirt he’s wearing showing off all that muscle. Oh yeah, see a guy pulls off his shirt his ab’s stretch out and his arms and chest gets all muscle bunched up and stuff. It’s so the guy version of that lift girls get with their breasts when they do the whole arms over their head thing.

And it’s a very, very nice thing for me now that I’m totally allowed to appreciate it.

I sit up and get on my knees and start with his belt and undoing his button…zipper… It's making him blush.

Yeah we deserve this.

Happy, normal, me…it’s just around the corner.

Karma

Jemima Tychonaut's picture

A genuine sweet dream after everything that has happened to the pair of them sounds just what the doctor ordered. The start of things to come... sounds kinda possibly good, possibly ominous!

And yeah, fast food is full of all sorts of rubbish but as long as you don't live solely on it there is a reason why it exists... because sometimes you need it. :-)

Great to see another chapter of this story again Bailey.



"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

It's a bit of both Jemima.

But yeah well deserved after the family stuff at the graveyard and all. KFC's sort of fast food and not it's sort of there in the middle but a nice non having to cook guilty pleasure.
*Great Big Hugs*

no fair, Bailey!

I'm trying to hold on to the idea that I only like girls, and you send me that vid?

love ya, big brother.

damn

now you have me wanting some KFC. she so deserves some normal.
great job, thanks

KFC is a decent go-to, way better than what she knew.

It's rare for me to get it since I have to do a serious commute but there are fond memories there too. Plus Hunter's not really eaten a lot of fast food or restaurant food and this so far is her favorite.

Though she likes salads because of the same reason. There's actually a lot she's still new to after her old life.

*Hugs and Howls.*

KFC and Skinny Bitches...

We were actually spoiled, having a KFC less than a block away (which unfortunately closed down last November). And yeah, as fast food goes, it's probably healthier than a lot of what's out there, especially if you avoid some things (like the Double Down, which frightens me)...

Like she said, though, Hunter could use a bit of fatty foods, as well as food with lots of the nutrients the body needs. She didn't get much of either before meeting Alex.

Sex or food, or food then sex.

Elsbeth's picture

Always a difficult choice (ok not really) Strawberries & chocolate before and after (or during) is nice :) Sweet story as always.

*hugs*

Is fearr Gaeilge briste, ná Béarla clíste.

Broken Irish is better than clever English.

Sex then food, she doesn't thing feeling loagey is...

sexy or romantic. Though she might change her mind about strawberries and chocolate though she's never had it that way before.

Crazy things

Jamie Lee's picture

Pulling over to the side of the road and getting out to dance to a song on the radio may seem crazy to Hunter, but love causes that to happen.

Bed or food? Perhaps Alex is right, build up an appetite first. Both need the release after their day, a very emotional day for both.

Others have feelings too.

It is odd

At least for me, I find myself appreciating the male form more after hormones, I still like pretty woman.
