I mean, anything could have..." I'll be fine, Brandon," she tried to put his mind at ease. "They're taking good care of me, and the medicine is starti...g to work. Celeste tells me that you're not sleeping, though. You'd better take care of yourself, because we need you healthy – or would you rather be in a hospital, like me?" I'll try," he weakly promised before changing the subject. "You look worried yourself. Something on your mind?"The light in Tracy's eyes dimmed, as the weak smile. She said take these just in case something happens tonight between you and her it was a small box of condoms he said thanks mom but were not ready for that yet. As I opened the door I saw a note on the table that read if Mark does spend the night you guys can sleep in my bed love mom. I smiled and whispered thanks mom to myself. As Mark opened the front door to let him self in I asked him to lock all doors. He went to all the doors to make sure they were locked. As he walked by me I grabbed his. And a wonderful day it was -- sunny and warm but not too hot or humid. We splashed around in the water awhile, played beach volleyball, grilled hot dogs for lunch and dozed in the shade. Matt fit right in, and I think my little sister was developing a crush on him. About mid-afternoon, another car crunched into the parking lot. Out came a family of five, including a lovely young woman wearing a two-piece that was not exactly skimpy but didn’t leave much to the imagination. Her long black hair. Delia, Cherry, Henna, Mali, Easy, Neon, Jessica, Baby Doll, Lady and Star. Its like dealing with 10 year-olds. Theyre all fun, dont get me wrong but they switch off days because they also strip every once in a while. Its pretty hectic on weekends but we make it work. Alright, and did you tell Delia happy birthday? Yep. 24 and counting, I smiled. And how old are you? 69? Liam chuckled. I picked up my towel then hit him in the face. Liam grabbed the end of the towel and gave me a look. We played.
