Unexpected Reunion

Reunited

         When I finally got back to the hotel Katie was in my room and she was not happy. 

"What the hell Saint! You go out for coffee, say you're going to be 45 minutes and 4 hours later you walk in the door.  And with no coffee, what the hell!" I threw my purse down on the bed.

"Look I'm sorry mom.  Something happened and it took me a little longer than expected to get home."

She crossed her arms and sat down on the bed.

"What happened? And don't call me mom." I sat down next to her before I told her.

"Well, I was in line, and I met this girl who was also in line, and we got to talking." She just shrugged her shoulders.

"That doesn't seem too bad."  I placed my hand on her shoulder before I continued.

"Hold on, I wasn't done yet. After we were talking for a few minutes, I heard some gunshots and we both dropped down to the ground."  I risked taking a peek at Katie and she was fuming. She jumped up off the bed.

"What the hell do you mean gunshots?" 

"I mean what I said.  There were gunshots and big guys that were armed.  Oh, and then she took me to her fiancé's giant house because she wanted me to meet him, but he wasn't home yet."

She sat back down and took a few deep breaths. "Saint, I am so sorry.  You have to be a very unlucky person to deal with the stuff you get stuck dealing with."  Then she hugged me.

"Please tell me that you are ok?"  I hugged her back.

"Yes, I am ok.  I made plans to go to this club with her tonight and you were invited."

She pulled back and looked at me for a second before she gave me her answer. "No, I think I will go to my parent's house and visit them and play with my baby.  I don't think that you should go either.  I mean you were shot at today!"

"Listen I wasn't the one that got shot at and I am fine."  She got up and crossed her arms again.

"Then call Shane and tell him what happened."  I jumped up off the bed.

"No! Shane does not need to be burdened with this.  Especially since I am fine!  And you better not tell him, you hear me!"  She took a deep breath.

"Fine, I will not tell him.  But I think that you should."  

"The first time I see him in person I will tell him. But are you sure that you don't want to go to the club with me?"

"Yeah, I'm sure, you go and have fun.  And please be freaking careful!" I nodded my head.

"I will, let me text her real quick that I'm going, and you can dress me up for the night."

After I texted Ava that I will meet her at the club at 8, Katie got me all dressed up and ready to have some fun.  I needed to blow off some steam.  After Katie left to go to her parents, my phone started ringing. 

 "Shane, hey, how are you?"

"I'm good, I just wanted to check in with you to see how everything was going down there?"

"Everything is good.  I was just getting ready to head out the door.  I met this new girl, and we are going to a club tonight."

"Well, I wish I was there.  I don't want some hunky guy snatching you up!"  That made me laugh.

"Don't worry, I don't think that will happen."

"Ok, well I love you.  I hope you have fun tonight call me in the morning."
