Chapter 60
Brian's View
Everyone is here now except Vince, Nick and Darlene.
Nick called and said they were running late cause Hannah couldn't find her
favorite hat. Nick was getting really impatient. I could tell, I think if
Hannah wasn't so young he would have choked her. Poor kid.
"Brian honey...someone is at the door. Can you go
get it for me please?" Tiffany asked.
"Of course sweetie," I smiled sweetly at her and then
walked into the house and to the door. I opened it and found a boy around
15 looking around nervously.
"Uh hello Mr. Littrell...my name is Vince," the boy
smiled up at me extending his hand for me to shake it.
"Oh hey Vince...it's nice to meet you," I said shaking
his hand. I examined him as I shook his hand. He was 5'6 maybe 5'7, blond
spiky hair, and blue eyes, he was tan and he seems to be quite muscular.
He must play football or some sport. I can see why Michelle likes him. He
is her type.
"It's nice to meet you too Mr. Littrell. It's a pleasure
meeting you. Michelle talks about you a lot."
"She does?"
"Yeah she does. She says you're very nice and funny,"
he smiled.
"That I am," I grinned. I like this kid. He seems
nice.
"So do you play sports at all?"
"Yeah football in the fall and soccer in the spring.
Sometimes I play baseball in the summer," he said looking around the
house.
"Wow, you must like sports."
"I do, Michelle told me that she's gonna come to a
lot of my games and cheer me on. I can't wait for that."
"Why is that?"
"So everyone will know what a wonderful girl I have
as a girlfriend," he smiled.
"That's very nice of you Vince," I said.
"Hey daddy...hi Vince," Michelle said coming into
the room and giving Vince a big smile.
"Hey Angel," I smiled.
"Hey bab...I mean Michelle," Vince corrected right
away. He was about to call her baby. I don't really like the sound of that.
Before I could say anything the door flew open and
in ran Nick and Darlene's kids. Alyssa and Ryan ran in giggling and laughing
at something. They said a short 'hi' and then ran in the back yard. Little
Hannah came running in after them holding her little yellow hat on her head.
She looked so cute. Michelle and Vince walked away and toward the
backyard.
"Hey wait for me!" she called trying to catch up to
them. Before she could go any further I picked her up and started to kiss
her cheeks.
"Uncle Brian! Stop it! It's tickles!" Hannah screeched
wiggling around in my arms. I laughed and put her down. She then ran off
in the back yard.
"Darlene! You can't be serious!" I heard Nick yell
from outside. Darlene walked into the house and turned to him.
"What's so bad about it? My parents are just coming
over for a couple of weeks," Darlene said.
"You know your parents hate me! Your father gives
me these evil looks all the time like he wants to kill me or something."
"That's not really a bad thing," I said. Nick and
Darlene turned to me.
"Hey Bri," Darlene smiled at me and then turned back
to Nick. "We'll talk about this later."
"Fine," Nick sighed and then turned to me and smiled.
"Hey Rok...sorry we took so long. Hannah doesn't go anywhere without her
hat."
"It's OK! We got all afternoon to have fun...you really
didn't miss anything yet," I said.
"OK good," Nick said walking toward the back yard.
Darlene looked at me and slightly smiled.
"Are you two in another fight?" I asked. She walked
over to me and looked after Nick.
"You can say that...my parents are coming down for
a few weeks to just visit and Nick wants me to tell them to just stay in
Colorado. He doesn't want them down here at all He says my parents hate him.
They don't HATE him...they just dislike him that's all."
"Why do they dislike him?" I asked curiously.
"The first time they met Nick they didn't seem to
like him much. I dunno why...I guess it's because he's wild and his personality
doesn't really strike my father as good."
"I'm wilder than Nick and Tiffany's parents loved
me. I have a good relationship with them."
"Yeah I know but my parents aren't really like that.
They're serious and not really into the humor stuff," she sighed. "I know
they don't mean to be mean to him. Nick just won't let it slide and just
face the fact that not everyone will like him. Whenever I mention my parents
he groans and starts to bash them. I don't like that at all."
"I wouldn't worry about it Darlene...at least not
right now. I'm sure everything will turn out fine. Things always turn out
fine in our relationships," I smiled at her. She lightly smiled at me and
sighed.
"I guess you're right...Let's go party for now," she
smiled.
"Sounds good to me!" I said taking her hand and leading
her into the backyard. Yet another conflict...it never ends. Whenever I think
everyone's happy another problem comes forth but I guess it's normal in
life.
