“Two People, One Heart”
Kitty, had Locked up .. And was in her room, she had gone through her normal ritual…
She took a long hot bath…, Put on one of Matt’s Favorite Night Gown…. Thin Lace
With a scoop neck….and thin string straps…with a lace robe to match. Then , sat in front of the vanity
Pulling out the hair pins… thinking about how much she missed him… and that usually he pulls them out
And brushes her hair when he’s there. As the pins came out one by one the copper curls, bounces off her shoulders… as she brushed them out , she took notice to the slight, tinge of white starting at the corners of her temples…. Thoughts.. Began to run through her mind….. Going back to many years before..
When she sat at that very table…. It no longer the same woman looking back at her through this mirror
Where a younger girls once sat. And for how much Longer would Matt still see the Same Young Girl
He loved all those years ago. After all, a lot has happened.. To that girl/woman in the mirror…
And how long will she still appeal to him? She could see slight lines around the corners of her eyes.
And if she could see them he certainly could. She stood up looking at herself full length….
No longer do I see that thin slender Young Girl…he once could so easily put his hands around….
As these thoughts run through her mind .. She crossed the room… poured herself a drink…
Peered out the window looking down Front St. in the very direction… she knew Buck would be bringing him Home…. Then.. Turned… lit the Lantern… as she done for so many years… pulled back the coverlet
Climbed into the big brass bed… and said to herself …“Cowboy, That Light will always be on for you ,as is the one in my heart!”
About, an Hour or so later … Buck brought matt down Front St…His Eyes went directly for the second floor of the Long branch Dodge was quiet… Hank was at Moss’ An agreed to take care of Buck.. So Matt …go on his way after being on the trail…. Marshal, Hank said Have a nice night. Thanks Hank.
Matt, made his way up the back stairs … unlocking the door.. letting himself in to the rooms He and kitty have called Home for many years….being as quiet as possible… placing his Stetson and Gun belt on it’s
Usual peg… and Boots in their regular place.. Matt slipped into the water room , cleaned up and removed
His clothes.. Sitting on the side of the bed… for a brief moment… taking in the sight of ..the woman who
Held his Heart!….Sleeping In his mind like an Angel…slight Smile, Amber-Copper curl falling over her shoulders….Creamy skin… he couldn’t resist… slipped into the bed and bend into kiss her tenderly
First on the tip of her Nose then her lips… When she started to stir… he brushed her hair away…
In a Deep Sultry Voice: “Hello Cowboy”…. Welcome Home… Hello Beautiful… Glad I’m Home
Matt slid his arm under Kitty’s body… pulling her to him… I missed doing this! And Kissed her a Passionate Kiss!….As he let up.. Kitty ..smiled and said …well now is That a Fact? Yes Ma’am.. That’s a fact! At that moment Kitty , then threw her body up over his.. Pulled his face to hers and said Not as Much as I missed doing This Cowboy! And She planted a Passionate kiss of her own on him.. As well as wrapping herself around him… causing his body to react in arousal….. He pulled apart for a brief second..
Woman!…. Yes? She smiled at him…. I do believe you have on way to many clothes…. Letting out a Hugh laugh… Kitty said: Well let see what we can do about that ?.. And both of them began peeling off her layers…. Then they were Flesh to Flesh!…. Body Heat to Body Heat! Heart Pounding….Craving one another…Needing What they Know they can only find in one another’s Arm…? True Intimacy! As One!
The Sun , Just barely was coming up when Matt started to stir…Ummm, Cowboy?… Can’t you sleep in ?
You Just got in a little while ago. Anyone even know your back yet? Matt rolled over, Yeah, Hank
He put Buck up for me when I got in. Yeah, But Matt You have to sleep …? Rolling her into his chest,
Kissing her forhead … You did seem to worry about that last night… Oh! She Just laughed.. And You put up a real fight to … I seem to remember? Shaking his head playfully… Never! Look Honey, Let me
Go do morning rounds… write my report.. Then I’ll come back and we’ll go to breakfast? That will give you time to wake up? I am Up. Yeah till I walk out the door. So, don’t ,then? She started laughing.
Staying here can be more fun then rounds and reports.? I’m Sure. But kit. I have to go. Oh alright!
Matt was in his office writing up his report, and he could hear Festus approaching.. Just by the jingle of the spurs.. Along the boardwalk.. And the humming … then, he could hear the interruption of the humming by Doc… “Now where are you headed in such a hurry?…. Doc started to Needle well, if you need to know I’m a headed to Matthew’s office to give him these here Poster’s that came in …Anything new is there?
Doc kidded.. trying not to laugh. Well, if ur gonna be a busy body… bout’ it ..ur gonna have to hold ur tatters till Matthew see’s um’ Doc, shaking his head, opening the door to the office… I can’t believe, I can’t believe it? Matt , Not looking up… What are you two going on about now? Nothing Matt..
Just the usual… Matthew, I brung them new posters fur ya. An.. ur mail is in the desk…Thanks Festus
Doc Sat at the table…reading the newspaper…Festus?…did you make the coffee?….sure did.. he replied
Well, Never mind then…. I‘ll wait… Fur what Doc? Doc, turned to Matt, … He don’t get it… and then laughed. Matt how about Breakfast? Matt stopped…sorry Doc, Kitty beat you to it… Oh? Yeah, I promised when I’m through here…I promised her Breakfast. Oh, so your tossing me over.. For the beautiful Redhead huh? Matt gave him a funny Smirk.. then said : What do you think? Hey Doc…
You know your welcome to join us. Festus just stood there…looking at both of them.. out of the corner of his eye. And I guess your looking for an invite too huh? Doc spurted out. Well, If ur a offering Doc.. Sure!….Rubbing his Mustache… mumbled … Unbelievable!
The foursome, were having Breakfast at Delmonico’s… when Matt mentioned to the group.. That his letter
Was about the railroad project that… was going to finally start. The same one that He dealt with in Washington ,D.C. when he and Kitty.. Attended the President’s Gala Ball. He mentioned that , Gen. William Jackson Palmer, had went to Europe and raised funds for the construction.. And that it was going to help, with the progress of Business in the West. Doc, Commented to them all that he had been reading the articles in the Newspaper, about the General… and was wondering … how this was going to effect Dodge City? Kitty, suggested that it would help in fright and shipping.. Especially from foreign countries making cost cheaper and quicker. This General Palmer, was heading the Railroad…Transcontinental R.R. (Union Pacific)
Matt, Kitty asked. With this project being much larger then they planned ,when you discussed it at the meeting, in Washington, D.C. Will it have much effect on the families in Dodge?… or on Dodge itself?
Remember… The problems it caused then? And There are so many more families in Dodge now.
Kitty, Nothings happening yet… there are still more sit downs to be had. The general, lawyer’s, and Railroad official’s will all be here before that happens. Matt, Doc added.. I agree with Kitty.. You know the trouble.. That can happen.
That reminds me.. Kitty said, I received a Letter… From Lucy Hays… Festus , looked at Kitty and
Smiled , that be the pretty fancy one Miz Kitty? Lucy Hays , ? Doc repeated. Then Matt ..added
Oh, Yes… The First lady.. Lucy Hays. Doc drops his fork…pulls on his ear….OHHHHH! That Lucy Hays…. Just the First Lady Lucy Hays!… Oh Doc Cut that out!.. Kitty said slapping at his arm.
Doc continued to tease her… Does that now make you our own Town Royalty? That’s enough…
Matt,… Walk me back to the Long Branch?… Ok, Kitty…getting up following Kitty.. Matt turns to Doc
See what you started…You had to put her in a Mood!
Approaching the Long Branch… Maryellen and Hilda were coming up to the front in a carriage….
Miss Kitty… Miss Kitty…. Good Morning Girls…. Both girls stared at Matt .. And watched the way
He kept a hand at the small of Kitty’s back. Good Morning Ladies.. Matt said Tipping his Hat.
Both in tandum said … Goood Morning! Maaarshal! Matt, this is Miss Maryellen Barlow, she lives just outside of Dodge… and This is Miss Hilda Lemp , she watched matt’s reaction…. Girls, this is Marshal
Matt Dillon. Hilda , without thinking said, Yes I know. Kitty, smirked… Oh? Oh, I mean, I figured he was Your Matt.. Oh, I mean… Kitty Stopped her.. Hilda! We know what you mean. Matt’s face was turning slightly red. Matt, Thought for a moment then said Barlow?… Jed Barlow…is your Father?
Yes Marshal.. He is. Your little Maryellen… My you’ve grown. Yes Sir I have….
Well, We have a date with the dress maker. Miss Kitty Can we stop by Later? Yes, Of course.. I’d like that.
Doc, Had some trips to make ..visiting families…He decided to stop and visit The Willets Family
He had kept his promise to Momma Mabel, to always stop in on her to have coffee and share stories
And she would stop in town when she could and they would have lunch. He like having someone
To talk medicine with… and he felt that ..sometimes he learn from her as well.
Matt had to make some runs out to the Local Rancher’s and farmer’s and let them know about the new
Information on the railroad plans… of course there would be a town meeting at an appropriate time .
But, Matt didn’t want there to be any surprises ….or rumor’s …. He made sure this time Tom Kennedy
From The Cattlemen’s association went with him.. So there would be no misunderstandings.
