“Hey you two ever gonna come inside?” Billy’s
dad yelled and broke the connection. Both of them started laughing and raced
ahead to the house, giggling like two school girls with their new found
secret.
“What’ is so funny?” he asked as Billy raced past him.
“Nothing Dad.. just nothing... this is the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!!”
The night moved quickly from that point on. Far too quickly as far as Mike and Billy
were concerned but they had a great deal of fun. There were numerous stories
about Billy told, how when he was only 5 he had sneaked into his parent’s
bedroom and got himself all dolled up in make up and lipstick and high
heeled shoes. The story wasn’t particularly amusing for Billy, at least
not until he felt Mike squeeze his hand while howling in laughter. Mike even
managed to cackle out that he knew that Billy would make a good wife
someday. Taylor had rolled on the floor with that one and then Mike’s dad
had dropped his bombshell, telling everyone how he always thought Mike would
be the better wife of the two boys.
Billy had laughed at that one even though he wasn’t too sure just what was meant. It
seemed like everyone was in on a big secret except for him and Mike.
It was a school night so the party broke up early. Everyone walked outside to see Mike
and his Dad off and just before they left, Mike managed to get Billy alone
out behind the new truck. There he put Billy’s head into his hands,
holding his cheeks and then he leaned forward and kissed Billy one more
time.
“You going to the game tomorrow night? Wifey?”
“Hehe... yeah hubby... I am... they got some cute guys playing this year...hehe”
“Yeah well you just keep your eyes on 85 or else....
that is... well..”
“Wouldn’t have it any other way Mike...”
“Really? I mean I know this
is rather sudden.... but.....”
“Been working up to this all our lives Mike... I am certain if you are.”
“Yeah.. I am
now.... wasn’t all week long but now I am... for sure.”
