Gripping his head, “A good hour at least in this lane”, mumbled Sebastian
Seth rolled his eyes at Sebastian who added, “Well half standing, the other half between the
conveyor and floor”.
The young cashier Tara replied, “No, he did not ruin anything”.
Staring at each other endless, as Sebastian stood feeling very sick to his stomach.
Holding two coloring books up, “Hey Sebastian should I get the coloring book with the farm
animals or kittens?” Seth asked trying to decide.
Sebastian remarked, “Get the kittens definitely”, as he looked at Shane smirking.
Seth went to set the other coloring book down and Sebastian grabbed it up saying, “Aw I’ll get
this one for Ashley”.
“That’s really nice brother”.
“Well it has bothered me about Saul too”, said Sebastian grabbing a few candy bars for Ashley.
“Yeah it must, because didn’t you just buy Ashley that new baby doll”.
“Yeah, I did huh, well she’s my niece I love her”.
Smiling Seth patted Sebastian’s back, as Shane and Tara sure stared at each other.
Tara reached Shane a little piece of paper whispering, “Here it is my phone number”.
Seth was grinning now and Sebastian sure eye rolled, as this was nauseating.
Smiling at her Shane said, “Little darling talk a bit closer, because I seriously on this end can’t
hear you”.
Standing up on her toes, leaned a little over the counter and whispered out, “Open the piece of
paper Shane”.
Seth smirked, as Sebastian rubbed his hurting head once again mumbling, “I’m gonna hurl”.
“Woe be careful little darling leaning over that death trap, because it can be a juggler”, said
Shane putting his hand against his back.
Smiling at each other Shane asked, “Little darling can I be frank with you”.
She nodded her head and he asked, “How old are you?”
“I just turned eighteen”.
“Aw nice, perfect”.
Sebastian started pushing him now saying, “Come on we’ve been here all afternoon”.
Shane told Tara, “I am gonna hurt him”, as she giggled.
Then Sebastian who was not soft spoken said, “Come on maw needs this stuff and bet worried
thinking we got kidnapped!”
Completely dazed, Shane once again did not hear him and Sebastian really yelled,
“NOW SHANE!”
That said, “Okay, bye Tara”, that with a smile replied, “Bye Shane, call me”.
Shane looked dumbfounded and confused again since he could not hear her voice, as it was
extremely low.
Sebastian was pulling at Shane and Seth stepped in saying, “I read her lips brother, she told you
call her and bye Shane”.
Smiling brightly with a glow, he said, “Aw little darling, I sure will”, and was staring at her.
“Thanks Seth helping me out, because I feel sick and Shane went deaf and dumber about an
hour ago”.
Still staring at Tara, but not for long, as Sebastian was physically moving him to the door and
out finally.
Walking to the truck, Seth was crunching on cheese crackers from a box that he even threw in
for his brother to pay along with the dominoes, because Shane was distracted.
Crunching, Seth asked, “Hey what just happened in the store?”
“An alley cat terrorized a mouse”, replied Sebastian looking at Shane smiling.
With his eyes big, Seth excitedly said, “Oh how awful a big old cat picking on a little defenseless
mouse gee their tiny”.
Sebastian smirked still leading Shane all the way to the truck and Seth crunching on a mouth
full of crackers asked, “Hey what happened to Shane’s flannel, because it's all tore in the back?”
Snarling Sebastian looks at Shane and replied, “Your brother Morris got into a cat fight over a
mouse against a jealous conveyor”.
Grabbing a handful of crackers from the box, Seth said, “Gee Sebastian you don’t feel good,
because you’re talking delirious”.
While Seth just crunched more and Sebastian said, “Little buddy, I never in twenty two years
experienced head pains like I’ve got now”.
They got into the black truck, Shane was dazed and Sebastian drove his truck.
It sure had been a grocery store adventure and nightmare for Sebastian.
Soon as they made it back home, Sebastian hurried getting the bottle of aspirin out of the
kitchen cabinet and took a few. Then set the coloring book down and candy he bought on the
counter top and said, “Maw make sure Ashley gets this?”
“Oh of course, how sweet, you’re always buying that child stuff, what a very loving uncle”, as he
just smirked hurrying off quickly to his room.
Brenda asking, “Shane, Seth, is your brother sick?”
Seth replied, “I don’t know maw, but where is Sammy, because I got her book”.
Pointing to the living room and he rushed off, as she looked at Shane sitting down by the kitchen
table.
Glowing in the chair actually, Brenda went unloading the things from the grocery store.
Putting the cans into the cupboard. “Wonder what happened, because it took almost two hours”,
mumbled Brenda.
What happened was, Shane did find his true love and his paw told him the truth.
Instantly would know it from the first glance and love at first site.
Later that evening after dinner, Shane showered then rushed out of the house all smiles and
Brenda kept going to check on Sebastian in his bedroom where he was a sleep in his bed with a
wet washcloth on his head.
Giving a big smile looking at Seth, coloring books with his little girl Samantha.
Brenda mumbled, “Sundays can sure be nice around here, but not for Sebastian or Shane
either”.
Samantha asked, “Nana want to crayon with us”, as she colored on the book.
Raising her hand up meaning in a minute she stood there mumbling, “One boy barely ate his
dinner, my other boy never comes out to dinner”.
Samantha said, “Come on Nana, me daddy’s waiting too”. Seth winked at his little girl that
giggled putting her tiny hand by her mouth and both kept coloring, as she still giggled at her
daddy.
Sebastian lay in his bed with the wet washcloth covering his face and there was tapping on his
door, as it was low and continued.
He removed the cloth angrily, “Aw heck, what man!” Growling.
She stood near the door wearing her long pink princess nightgown that Sebastian had actually
bought her for Christmas and matching slippers.
He motioned his hand saying, “Come here”, she strutted across the room over by him and
quietly said, “I woke you, sorry”.
“Ah, you never have to be sorry to me little girl”, as she smiled with her bright blue eyes big and
he asked, “I see you got the coloring book huh”.
She nodded her head of long golden curls standing at his bedside and he asked, “Happy with it?”
Excitedly, “Oh my yes!” Eyes huge.
“Aw I’m glad”, said Sebastian smiling at her and she said, “I made you a thanks picture” and he
said, “Wow, you did?”
“Oh yes”.
“Well can I see it?”
Crawled up onto the bed, as he scooted back and she showed Sebastian that got excited saying,
“Cool, it’s a big heart?”
She swung her head of long locks and said, “Mr. Cow gave this to the horses, been nice to him”.
Sebastian raised his light eyebrows and said, “Oh I see, those horses are the nice guys”.
“You are like the horses, uncle Sebastian always be nice to me", and he seemed to get teary eyed.
Now hung her little head and he asked, “Aw hey Ashley girl, what’s wrong?” I love the picture,
I’ll cherish always”.
“Why Uncle Sebastian did I not get you, the nicest for my daddy?”
Sebastian got all choked up saying, “Woe, amazing, guess kids do say the strangest things”.
Swinging of long golden locks even faster she said, “You are best ever be!”
He just could not help it, as he wiped tears that rolled and she now asked, “No, do not be sad
face”.
Looking at her in tears he said, “I’m far from little girl, you make me my happiest”.
She smiled very big and reached over hugging him saying, “I love you my best uncle.”
Sebastian held her tightly saying, “I love you to little princess, forever!”
Little Ashley gave Sebastian the picture that she colored for him, as he thanked her again and
then walked her to the door, guiding her out, he said, “Goodnight sweetie”, and kissed the top of
her head.
Ashley went to walk away with Sebastian standing by his door watching her go down the hallway
slowly he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Fast as lightning she runs back to him and he knelt down, as she hugged him saying, “I love
you bunches”.
Holding little Ashley tightly, Sebastian replied, “Aw, sweet girl I love you very much, you’re my
world”, and her blue eyes become big she asked, “You do?” Nodding he replied, “With all my
heart”, she smiled.
Pushing his curls aside from his ear whispering, “Will you read me a story book?”
At once, Sebastian stood up holding Ashley in his arms and walked into her bedroom and
walked over to the bed, gently setting Ashley down she crawled under the pink blanket and he
reached down a book off the shelf asking, “This one?” She giggles out, “Good book”.
Sebastian went sitting down on the rocking chair next to the bed reading the book Ashley
gigged, but soon starts to yawn.
Her room beautifully decorated, with everything pink and had many dolls with stuffed animals
on two big wooden shelves.
Sebastian continued reading to Ashley that closed her eyes and he smiled saying, “Sleep tight,
little girl”.
Right when Sebastian stood up ready to leave, Ella walked into the room, as they both look at
each other and she said, “Sebastian”, that walked over silently giving her the book and walked
out of the room.
“You are so good to Ashley, reading a book”, mumbled Ella then glanced down and gasped out,
looking at a book about a princess in search of her knight-in-shining armor.
Ella lifted her head up as tears rolled she quietly said, “Sebastian?” That was in his bedroom
sitting on the bed crying heavily with the colored picture firmly in his hand.
Later after pulling himself together hung his special picture up above his dresser.
Meanwhile.
The feverish looking boy had headed back to the super market where it was closing time and
Tara grabbed her sweater telling her boss, “See you tomorrow,” and walked outside giggling
looking at Shane leaning against his red king cab truck with his arms folded and leg crossed and
she smiled, he gave her a wink.
Dressed very nice also in black jeans wearing a red button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to
the elbows and his black steel toe boots.
Tara walked up to him, she was adorable very small, and an extremely tiny built frame and had
to be only four foot two actually.
She had the palest natural blonde hair lay onto her petite shoulders and the bluest eyes just like
the sky and was nervous, as she got closer to him and he said, “I told you dinner little darling”.
“Okay Shane”, replied Tara nervously.
Dazed and confused, Shane was mumbling, “Aw, wish I could hear a word this pretty little thing
says”.
Shane opened the truck door for her and she got in as he added,
“Shoot she is quiet like a mouse”.
His now sick brothers words exactly.
Seated in the truck and Shane looked at her asking, “Well where to girl?”
With her head down some, as she was shy and asked, “You like tacos Shane?”
Gave a big grin and looked relieved because she was sitting right next to him and he could finally
hear the little mouse squeak.
Driving said, “Ah honestly girl about those tacos”.
“Yes Shane honest”.
“No not at all, I like real food not a snack”.
Giggling, as he really grinned because he heard more squeaking.
Looked over at him with a bright smile asked, “What do you like Shane?”
“Well strictly meat, potatoes and got to have gravy smothering it all with cornbread on the side”.
She smiled as he added, “Aw don’t forget soup beans either”.
“You mean Pinto beans”, said Tara as he winked.
“Got to have the works little darling”.
“Why don’t you cook for us”.
Shane really grinned, because it seems the tiny mouse wanted to squeak.
“Yeah Tara I’d like that, but you have to tell me how to get to your place”, and Tara told Shane
where she lived.
Ten minutes later, pulled into the parking garage at an apartment building and Shane shut the
truck off, as she looked at him staring back.
Putting his arm on the back of the seat he asked, “Hey little darling can I kiss you right now?”
Looking serious at him, “I’d like that Shane”, and Shane reached over putting his one arm
around her tightly as his arm almost buried her.
She smiled cuddled way down under what felt like to her a giants arm.
She whispered quieter then she already was, “Let’s go in Shane”.
“Aw you bet girl”, grinning.
Furthermore, that evening Shane was a complete gentlemen with high respect for Tara that
made them dinner, as she had left overs. They sat eating meatloaf with mashed potatoes and she
made a salad with biscuits. He told her the meal was great and they sat talking getting to know
each other and shared a kiss a few times in between talking.
After three weeks of nonstop dates, Tara lost her virginity to Shane that was swept up by the
moment.
He definitely went into the storm first time ever without his raincoat and it took Shane a long
struggle reaching the finish line with Tara’s first time.
Seems a mother is always right.
Shane with Tara became a couple and very much in love from first site, Tara fit right in with the
Wiley’s and she stuck to Shane like glue.
Shane was sure attached to Tara also, as he did not let her come in the bar though.
He knew how rough it gets and a fight always breaks out by the end of every night.
The bar was a punching palace more than a bar most nights.
Shane and Tara sure seemed right for each other a perfect match.
