Chapter 34

I should say that Caroline was totally off balance with Tim’s hug.

His reputation most likely played a part in her response but Tim was acting totally different.

Carl looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

“Would you like to go out for a burger Saturday night” Tim asked Caroline who opened her mouth to say something but stood there looking at him.

Finally she broke into a smile and said yes, before Tim took her hand and walked off a bit with her and started talking to her.

She looked around at us and then they seemed to have broken the ice and were talking like old friends.

Carl walked past Tammy who still was studying my wife and he walked up to me, leaned over and whispered in my ear

“Wow, what did you tell him to get that to happen. He is different person now it seems” he said. “Oh not much, just tried to impart some wisdom into him. Plus got him to open up and realize how he acts is why he really doesn’t get along with a lot of people “ I said.

“Oh by the way, you might be able to play with him at times. He is very confused about what he is and he is trying to learn” I whispered and Carl nodded and smiled

I looked at Tammy and Steve talking a bit with my wife saying things at time.

It sounded like they were making the story up as they went and it sounded legit to me.

I was worried that more people would show up and make things hard to handle so I called my wife over

“Marie. Here are the keys as I tossed her my set. Can you go start the truck so we can get ready to leave. We do have to get to Atlanta.” I told her.

She looked at the keys in her hand and noticed it was the set that will roll down the windows and remote start the truck.as she hit the button for the windows.

She nodded at me then looked at Tammy.and said “You ever seen the inside of a semi truck. Come on and I will show you”

Ice breaker as Tammy smiled and started to follow her to the truck asking questions about where we go.

Carol looked at me and smiled. I saw her mouth “good move” as we watched Tammy climb in and my wife followed her.

“Cool Bunk beds in here” we heard Tammy say as she explored the inside of the truck.

A few moments later we heard the air horn so we knew the kid was being a kid.

I heard the truck start up so I knew they were about done inside.

We watched as Tammy got out a moment later with a soda bottle in her hand and then my wife followed her but paused on the steps just like she had done to Steve and Tim.

I saw Tammy look between my wife’s legs as she got down from the truck and came back to where Carol, Carl and I was standing.

My wife stood close to Steve again but this time the three of them were talking as my wife handed Steve the soda

“Tammy said you might be thirsty” with a slight wink.

Steve smiled and told both of them thanks before hugging Tammy and then Marie.

Tammy looked at Carol and the other truck before asking

“I guess that’s your truck. Is it the same as theirs” “Yeah but inside of mine is more Girly than theirs. I know Marie tries but he is stubborn and should be locked up” Carol said which got laughs from everyone.

Carol pulled out her keys and handed them to Tammy and said.

“Marie take her and help her start the truck. Make sure is not in gear please” and Tammy seemed to bounce to the truck with my wife in tow.

We heard it start up and soon Tammy was back with a huge smile.

“That was cool” she exclaimed.

Tim and Caroline came back holding hands and smiling and joined us and I decided that we needed to get going.

I was able to defuse a few things but I knew my luck would run out soon.

We all shook hands, gave hugs and stuff like that before my wife looked at Tammy.

“Is it alright if I give Steve a kiss before we leave. I only get to talk to him on the computer and you can see him everyday.” She asked Tammy who said yes.
