Cherry Ann

Chapter 5.3 Sleepover

When I got home I ran to my room to pack a few things. I had everything I could possibly need at my house but there were a few personal trinkets I wanted to take. Like pictures of my parents and jewelry. As well as my phone and charger. I took all my stuff for gymnastics, dance and everything else I needed for my after school activities. I hadn't gone to any of them since I met Tack. I needed to start going again. Where was Tack? I opened my mind and called to him.

'Tack where are you?' I was getting mad.

'Cherry everything is ok but I will be a little bit longer. Will you be okay where you are in now?'

'What is going on?'

'I will have to explain later. It is nothing to worry about my love.'

'Okay fine. I will just go to my dance class I will keep my mind open for you, tell me when you are done so I can come home.'

'I am sorry my love. I will make it up to you tonight.'

'How?' I smiled in my thoughts.

'We will think of something we have all weekend for me to make it up to you.' I could feel the smile in his voice. 'Have fun at dance love.'

'Okay I will be done in about two hours. I love you.'

'That should work out just perfectly. I love you as well.'

I grabbed my bag and since I was going to be gone for a while I locked up the house. When I got to my car I pulled out my phone. My mother had left me a message. I dialed my voice mail.

"Cherry I talked with Mrs. Resort everything is all set be sure you pack warm clothes and lock up the house good. Mrs. Resort said that there is not very good reception at the cabin and really no power so I will call you Monday and see how it went. We love you and we will talk to you soon." The message ended. I wonder what Tack's Mother had said.

I got to dance about 5 minutes before Class started I changed quickly and got to my spot on the bar.

"You are late and you missed the last the last class." Miss Rousseau scolded.

"I am sorry ma'am I have had a few things come up."

"I do not want to hear excuses. Let's begin." She turned away from me.

I have been in dance for years I was good but I hadn't really worked out in a few weeks so my feet hurt. I hadn't practiced at home either. It didn't go unnoticed. I was so glad when the class was over. I wanted to go home. To my home and be with Tack. As if he herd my thought, he answered.

'Are you ready to come home my love?'

'Yes!'

'Okay drive east love you will be home soon. Are you hungry?'

'Starving.'

'What would you like waiting for you.'

'I'm kind of craving meat so maybe a steak or a burger.'

'Okay.' he laughed. 'I will see you in just a few minutes.

I left the dance studio and drove east. Close to the end of town I saw the fog. I drove thru this time with no hesitation. I was home. Tack was waiting for me and I ran into his arms.

"I missed you so much." I almost cried.

He bent down and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around him and deepened the kiss. I didn't want to let him go I pulled myself closer to him and wrapped my arms tightly around his waist. I buried my face into his chest. He wrapped his arms around me. We stood on the front porch for a long time. Finally Talk spoke.
