Matt Brown: A Year of Short Stories

Fourteen: Bear and Matt Find Happiness

This is for perrynorine

It was actually a clear and sunny day in Hoonah, Alaska. The Brown boys are in town for a hauling job. They had a couple of hours before they had to leave. Bam, Gabe, and Noah were going to meet their girlfriends at the local cafe. Matt and Bear followed slowly behind their brothers. They didn't say anything, but they were kind of jealous of their brothers because they had falling in love. As all the boys walked into the cafe, they were met by their girlfriends, except for Matt and Bear. They sat at a table by themselves. They order two cups of coffee for themselves. Once their coffee came, they sat at their table quietly and watched their brothers with their love of their lives. Matt really wanted to find a woman who would love and care for him. He also wanted a woman who laughed and smiles at his jokes. Bear really also wanted to find a girl who is extreme and awesome as he is. Bear looked at Matt and found it odd that Matt wasn't his talkative self. He thought to himself that Matt must have a lot on his mind in order not to talk. The local cafe is very busy today, all of the tables are filled. Both of the guys are in their own little world when they hear a woman voice talking to them. They both look up and find two young ladies standing beside their table, asking if they could sit with them because the other tables are full. The guys say yes and make room for the girls. The guys tell the girls their names. So the girls introduce themselves as Norine and Katie. They all talk for awhile about different things. Matt takes a liking to Katie right away and Bear is drawn to Norine also. About 30 minutes later, Bam, Gabe, and Noah come walking up to their table and tell them that it is time to go. Matt and Bear ask Norine and Katie for their numbers, so they can call them when they are in town the next time. The girls agree and give the boys their numbers and tell them that they will see them around sometime. They say their goodbyes and leave for the dock.
