Nobody Compares

Chapter 22- Camping

Suddenly a western, country looking couple ran toward us. "Neil! Pipsy!" Did she mean Niall and I? My name sure as hell wasn't Pipsy. "How are ya'll doing?" It was like we were in Texas, but we couldn't be.

"Hello, I'm Niall." He emphansized his name to show that was the pronounciation. "And this is Piper." 

"Oh welcome to ... er .... welcome dears! My name is Judy, this is Tom, and we own the cabin you guys are staying in. We'll drive ya'll down!" Niall and I exchanged glances, worriedly. Casinia nodded us toward the truck, so we went. When me and Niall piled into the tiny back, Niall practicly held his knees to his chest. I chuckled lightly. "So how long ya'll been dating?" 

"Actually we're not dating," Niall said with a chuckle. I thought I heard him mumble 'yet' but it couldn't be possible. He was Niall. I was Piper. It wasn't right. I mean yeah we did kiss, but he probably did it in spite of my birthday. No, not probably, he did. 

"Oh, I could er sworn ya'll were."

"Nope," Niall whispered popping the 'p'.

"So you both are singers?" Tom asked. It was the first time the quiet man spoke. He looked elderly. Maybe in his 60's. Judy looked like she could be his 40 year old daughter - or his wife who looked young. I guessed it was his wife since they were oddly close. 

"Yep, he's in a band, and I sing alone." I wonder how the couple felt. They were housing two famous singers in a cabin in a lonely wooded forest. I supposed the couple felt intrigued. These western people seemed to never meet famous people. I hate to boast about being famous, but I was famous. I was known all around the globe for godsake. They had superstars in their hands.

"The cabin is small, but you guys will be alone in the forest. It's safe, and comfortable, so don't worry." A crazy chainsaw murderer living in the words jumped into my minds, but I dismissed it.

We arrived to small path in the woods. I thought we stopped at a stop sign but it was no where near. Tom and Judy got out, and put their seats down. I tried climbing out gracefully, but climbing out a pickup truck into a muddy forest isn't to easy. 

"It's just down here some. Don't mind the vines. I think it's a nice touch, donch you?" I grimaced at her lack of pronounciation. Worse of all, to her my name was still Pipsy, and Niall's name was Neil. 

We finally reached this small cabin in the middle of the forest. It was a log cabin, and had a homey look to it. I liked it. 

Niall and Tom were the brave ones, touring the tourist to the house in front of me and Judy. I knew Judy had trouble hearing but I could hear Tom talk to Niall perfectly. "There's a clear pond back there 'bout 10 yards. In case you need some there are Trojans in the drawer in the bedroom. Judy and I don't need it any more since she got her tubes tied." We were in what looked like the driveway of the clearing, and Judy and I passed Niall. Tom was in deep discussion on how to use and why you should use condoms. I turned to Niall and sent a silly face. He had a beat red face, and was deeply embarressed. 

"Don't worry sir, I use prtection everytime," I heard Niall say as I approached the porch.

"That's good. You're a handsome youngin. Probably sexually active with the females today, right? Don't worry its nutin to be ashamed of. Being sexually active is perfectly fine, son."

I turned and pretending to die of laughter. Luckily Tom didn't see me making fun of his 'sex' talk. Poor Niall. He just met this man, and this is what happened. "Here is a credit card. You buy everything you need. Don't worry about the cost."

"Thank you Judy. For everything."

"Its okay darling! You and that Neil boy have fun, you hear? Me and Tom gotta go, see you later." Her and Tom got into the car after putting our suitcases on the porch. Niall carried them all in, and I followed.
