PT.3
As they were getting ready for the Charity Ball… Kitty
noticed a change in Matt demeanor….
“Cowboy?... what is it?,.. you
look to be a million miles away…” as
he turned , his eyes fixated on the vision standing before him….Cowboy?...what is it?... Ahhhh, Kitty You Look ….
Lost for words,.. and fiddling with his tie… She glided across the room,.. “Here Let me do that? “ I
take it you approve Marshal? As she tied his tie,.. he slipped his hands
around her waist. “ Oh, You Bet I do!”…. leaning
into kiss her. “ Kitty… do I have to wear this mask?”...
“Oh Matt it’s just for a bit… then you don’t have to worry about it…” I told John we’d meet him down at the
Lobby …or the Ball room… We should get going?
Kitty did one last check in the full length mirror… before they
left….
John was waiting for them in the Hotel lobby,… “Ahhh, There you are … Kitty,.. Kissing
her on both cheeks...Matt?... shaking his hand. This should be a promising night? Shall we? Matt and John each offered Kitty an Arm,
as they entered the Ballroom…. This of course drew much attention….
Kitty was wearing a very form fitted ,..elegant Red Velvet Gown,,,… off
the shoulders and cut to expose just enough cleavage ,… with a Ruby and Diamond
necklace around her neck matching earrings.
Her hair Coiffed up into a twist in the back curls on top with light
whisps of curls framing her face….. Matt
wore a Black Tuxedo, tailored shirt, with a Red String Tie… and dress cowboy
boots Kitty had brought him while they were shopping….and of course he .. wore
a Black Dress Cowboy Hat! She felt she
had to let him keep some of his creature comforts. As they mingled around John Chapman
introduced them to all his Medical associates.
Then, Matt asked Kitty …”Honey
…Punch?” Yes Please...that would
be lovely…”Matt went for Drinks,…
John asked Kitty to Dance when the Music started. Across the room standing at
the refreshment table, he could feel eyes on him.. he really didn’t feel
comfortable with these mask at all.
Then suddenly he felt a hand on his back…..Unsure ..for a moment… he
knew by the touch it wasn’t Kitty… then a soft voice said …” Hello “…Matt turned and standing before him was a small rather
thin woman,.. Golden Blonde hair,,.. he couldn’t see her eyes, because of the
Mask she was wearing…. But something about her ….? Ma’am? Can I help you …get you a drink?... she
just smiled. Care to Dance , Big Man? … Matt just stood , Knowing something ..about
this woman was…..” Oh come’on’ I won’t
bite… it’s just a dance….” Taking
the glasses from his hands.. and leading him out to the floor. Matt wasn’t sure what to say ….Dancing wasn’t
really his thing. And before he knew it
she had her head lying on his chest.
He quickly looked around the room for Kitty.. then asked.. “Miss
ummm…? I’m sorry I don’t even know your
name? I’m Ma… without lifting her
head she said… Oh, Your Matt Dillon!... I
know who you are…. Now pushing back from her… How do you know who I am? Before
she could answer… he looked up ..to see Kitty standing only about a foot away
from them .With a raised Brow, and a
smirk… “Hello”, I don’t mean to interrupt but … Oh, Kitty …I ,I .. ummm ,..now
holding the masked Blonde haired woman at arms
length… …”Well Cowboy, I thought you’d be getting hungry,. .and John
says they’re ready to serve Supper”….still staring at the two… quickly moving beside Kitty,.. Maybe we ‘d better find our table? Placing his hand at the small of Kitty’s
back.. leading her away… Kit, I know how that looked… But,…… But What
? Who is she Matt? With a sideway
smile,… I don’t know. But he couldn’t help feel uneasy that she
knew him…..
As they were ready sit to Supper, John was worried he could
find his friend… but the three sat down to supper …. The Supper was an
exquisite French Meal… They started with an appetizer “ Apricot Chambord Brie”, this was
Roasted Apricots, Apples, Toasted Pecans and Rasberries..wrapped in a
Pastry-Brie Cheese, with a Chambord glaze….. this was followed by a Potato and
garlic soup with herbs,.. the the Main course… Duck Breast with Frisee’ Salad
and Port vinagarette’ and a Chocolate
Sorbet. Then for Dessert,.. they were
presented with an assortment of Cakes and Pastries….
“So John,… Who is this
Mystery person you wanted us to meet?...” Kitty asked with a teasing smile.
I’m sorry I thought she’d be here by now
… something must have kept her? Ohhh a
She huh? Kitty just winked. Well
if you gentlemen will excuse me for just a moment .. ?... I’ll be right back.
Both men rose as Kitty left the table.
While Kitty refreshed herself ,… John and Matt sat talking about what
John was doing with his practice in New
Orleans… then John looked up… “Well now
there you are?” Please Dear Sit,.. I’ll get a waiter.. and get you a plate.. Matt was in Shock. Before him stood the masked Blonde Woman from
the dance floor. As John walked away,…. “ Hello ..Again”!… Ma’am.. Matt nodded. She now wasn’t wearing a mask. And he could help but feel he knew her? Matt now had an uneasy feel in his
stomach,.. and Kitty was going to return…..
