                                                                         PT.1
The Streets of Dodge, were extremely quiet, more so then usual… about all you could hear is the sound of a occasional coyote , howl….   It was August, and this was sometimes normal for this time of year in Kansas.
Matt, was doing rounds…But, they went fairly quick.. most of the shop owner closed up early…
Even The Long Branch was slow… That was normally Matt last stop… The doors were still open….

Sam,….looks like our streets folded-up out there?  Sure been quiet in here to Marshal. Sam said continuing to clean glasses.  Miss Kitty’s in the Office. Shall I call her ?… No, I go in… Matt walked through the door
Kitty was locking up the safe… Well, now.. back so soon Cowboy?   Yeah, Kit, it’s a ghost town out there.
Laughing, she continued to put things away…. Oh Matt!   How about a night cap?   Ok, but, under one condition?    Oh, ?..Conditions on night caps now huh?   Smiling at him.   Only when it’s with my favorite Gal? he said as he wrapped his arms around her waist.. and nibbled her neck.  Matt… Sam could come in.
Still nibbling…he mumbled…And?    Oh You!  Wait right here. As she pulled free.  Yes Ma’am
Right here, flashing her his boyish grin.
Kitty, walked out to the bar room , Sam?.. Yes Miss kitty? Sam, leave this till morning.. Go on lock up
All this can wait… your tired.   It so Hot.    OK, Miss Kitty. .I know you have an early morning and a long day.    Good Night Sam!,  Good Night Miss Kitty!

Kitty entered the office, looked around.. Matt wasn’t there.   Oh, that Man… Where on earth is he now?
Just shaking her head.    She grabbed a bottle of brandy from the shelf.. And went up the back stairs….
As she went into her rooms.. Still no sign of Matt… Taking a Deep Breath… and Jaws tight, ….
What am I going to do with this man?… I don’t know ,but, I starting to get a few damn  Idea’s!
She began undoing the cuffs on her sleeves, and suddenly…she felt her body spin ..and Matt catch her in his ARMS.  “ I’d be interested to hear some of those Idea’s Miss Russell.”   Matt Dillon!.. you scared me half to death!  He was laughing .   Your not funny.. she said still trying to yell at him.   Did I ever tell you your are so beautiful when your Mad?…. Really?.. Is that a Fact? …pulling her into a Kiss, yes, ma’am …That’s a Fact!   Still not giving in…she said I guess I’ll have to remember that for future reference?… awe now Honey?   Kissing her again… here let me help you out of this.. trying to unbutton her pearl buttons on her blouse.  After a minute.. He rolled his eyes.. he said, I’ll make you a deal…you do this while I do this…
And continued to Kiss her neck and ear…..  And you think this is gonna work do you?   I’m hopin’?
Ohhh, Matt!  Kit honey, do you suppose if I keep doing this..?  Yeah?  If I keep doin’ this ..maybe you’ll change your mind and not go tomorrow?   Cowboy, I have to go…this trip…this trip it’s business….
Besides, If I had done this ..would it have worked?…. Well Kit , you know I can’t say NO to the Law!?
Oh, but I can to my business?    Had to try didn’t I?  he said with a grin.   It won’t be long..I’ll be back before you know it.    How long? He asked.   Smiling…Long enough for you to miss me… Kit, seriously?
One and a half weeks, two at the most.   Oh Ok!   Well Com’ere Woman Tonight your all Mine!
Cowboy, don’t you know by now.. I’m your’s every night.. And always!   Suddenly, Matt looked up…
Kitty relieved herself of the remainder of her clothes…. He was still amazed that he couldn’t get enough of the Beautiful Redhead before Him….. Well, Cowboy?.. You goona stand there or you gonna Kiss Me?
Oh, I’m gonna do more then that!.. he said picking her up gently placing her in their bed..Tonight, he was going to show Kitty, just how much he was going to Miss Her…Over and Over and Over again!

The Hot August Sun streaked thru the Window just above the Long Branch ,slightly after dawn….
As it came thru and shined in…across the two people entwined together as one…. Kitty’s sultry Voice
“Good Morning Cowboy”…. Moving ever so slightly… yes it is and what a fantastic Night it was too!

Kit, I’m …Matt Please. Don’t?…it’s hard enough…I’ll be back before you know it. And besides you’ll be so busy.. you’ll hardly notice I’m not here? I’ll Notice!   Come ‘on Buy me Breakfast.  Before I go.

After Breakfast, Matt walked Kitty to the Depot, Festus, walked up Miz Kitty I put your Bags on board…
Thank You Festus. Don’t you worry none I’ll take good care of Matthew fur ya!  Matt Smirked, What am I a Child?…Kitty smiled. Thank You Festus I appreciate that.   All Aboard. .the conductor yelled.
Well, Cowboy, see you real soon, Matt leaned close…Look for it ok?  Furrowing her brow….What?
The Light, ….The Light she repeated.   Our Light Kit. …it will be on for you till you come home to me?
Her eyes filled with tears…  You bet I will …She blew him a Kiss from the Stairs.. Of the train… as it pulled away……
