Masks
We Wear?
The sights of the city were Beautiful,… slowing their pace
to enjoy their walk… and the Beautiful changes that nature brings…. Leaning her
head on his arms as they strolled …”Cowboy,…
New Orleans… HUH? he said peering
down at her. I want to go to New Orleans…
... Matt , I haven’t been to Mother’s
…she stopped, closed her eyes taking a deep cleansing breath….. Mother’s Grave,… and Now… Father’s !
Ok, Honey if you want to go ,.. we can leave tomorrow….? Matt, this isn’t something you need to do… I
can,… turning her to face him,.. No!..
I’ll will be right there with you …By your side Kitty , you’ve been through….
Dropping her eyes,… Cowboy… This has been
hard on you too ,.. and I know your itchin’ to get back to Dodge? Kit,
another day or two isn’t gonna matter… I’m Staying!....
They returned to Planter House, and headed for the Dining
room ,… in the lobby they passed a group of woman,… the same group that were
outside Their room when Kitty had found Maryellen ,indisposed in her bed
waiting for Matt….. As they passed,… the
four woman made eye contact with Kitty,… Briefly smiled and Nodded. This, caught Matt attention. Then when getting closer…. One of the woman
, one of the older woman…. Leaned into Kitty,.. You stand your Ground Dear!,… there’s never a big enough bin for the
trash!.... Kitty, putting her hand up over , her face slightly,… smiling
,then said … Yes Ma’am you are so
right!... walking away,. Well cowboy how about we feed you?
Sounds good I could eat a horse….
I don’t doubt that ….she laughed … then, as they we’re being
seated….. Matt casually asked. So, are you going to tell me what that was
about? Now , dropping her eyes
and head… for a Moment…It’s nothing
really .. Those Ladies just happened to be outside our room ,in the hall… while
I was putting out THE TRASH!
Kit, why do I get the feeling ,
there’s more to this story?...OH, tilting her head to the side...I don’t know…? Come’on
..let’s order…? She said
hoping to divert the question
After Breakfast, they stopped at the front desk to let the
clerk they’d be checking out in the morning.. Phillip Dupre’ approached them,… Marshal?.. Miss Kitty….? I overheard what you just said,… I do hope
you early departure isn’t because of anything that happened here? Miss Kitty ,.. we have Appreciated having you here as our guest,.. for many
years now … and hope you will return in the future? Dear Mr. Dupre’ … this in no way will
effect future visits to Planter House.. you have been most Kind.. and attentive
to all my needs… as the headed for
the elevator,.. the older housekeeper who was pushing the bin that Kitty
deposited Maryellen into ,… approached,… nodding… Excuse me Ma’am ... if I could have a Moment? …then she stared up
at Matt,… then continued,.. In
Private Ma’am? Kitty smiled at
Matt,… Cowboy give us a Moment
ok?... walking off to the side,… What can I do for you? Beg your pardon Ma’am.. but I just wanted to
say ….. She wasn’t harmed in any way … you have no worry… But if I may speak
freely?... of course…Kitty said
. You did right,.. stood your ground,…
and Kitty place a hand on her arm…
Thank You… when I was a Little girl,.. My
Mother and Auntie’s use to say,… there’s
a right time and a wrong time for everything… And That !.. was the right time
for that!...smiling… this time Matt could overhear part of
their conversation….
Now in the elevator,… Kit
… I overheard a Bit of that.. Is there something you want to tell me … or I
should know? Kitty now adopted
Matt’s sheepish look,… and stood silent for a moment….
As they entered their room,… well, cowboy we have packing to do,… tossing his hat on the bed,… Nah! I think there is something you need
to tell me? He was now sitting on
the edge of the bed,… she cupped his
face in her hands… Cowboy , believe me
when I say … sometimes there are just Necessary
Evils!
Ki-tty? Oh, alright… the other morning…. When Jim
released me… I came back here to our room… Low and behold!... someone was
planning a surprise for you… “A very special surprise! “ one
that was never supposed to be known by me… well not at that time anyway? Who? He asked. Laughing and shaking her
head,.. Matt!... sometimes … Kit Who?
The name Maryellen ring a
bell? She was here in this room,.. OH
Yeah!.. in this very bed… and wearing ,two glasses of Champagne and not much else!
But, what does this
have to do with those woman,.. and the housekeeper? Now he was confused.
Oh, Matt that was just
about putting out THE TRASH…. She was barely making eye contact… KIT?
Please tell me you didn’t do anything… Matt ,I just disposed of … he
finished her sentence.. now knowing full well… with Kitty’s temper,… exactly
what Disposing of The Trash meant….
Disposing of Trash…????. Awwwww Kit!?
Cowboy,… No one, No where , No how,… is ever gonna come between… grabbing
her and pulling her close…. Honey ,no one
.. will ever come between us …”ILOVE YOU” you are the only … woman and all the
woman I want… for as long as you’ll have me…… leaning into press her lips to
his…. “Always and Forever Cowboy…”..knocking him back and onto the bed… to
land just a top him.
Well, I guess that explains why she didn’t want me and Jim to leave you
two alone?... enough about her… Kiss Me
Cowboy?
