A Jedidiah and Octavius story
After returning to the New York's Museum of Natural History
Chapter 10 of 11
I pull away, and take Octavius's left hand in my right hand... My boys surround us, and I say, "Boys! Chill! He ain't gonna hurt me! We's dating, so just go back to whatcha was doing." My boys at first just look at me like I was crazy, then they shrug and go back to what they was doing. I say, "I don't understand, my boys usually ain't like this.. I'll have a talk with 'em tommorow night." Octavius nods and says, "We've got a long night ahead of us, huh?" I say, "Yeah we sure do, my love, but it ain't nothing we can't handle, right?" He nods and says, "Right." I kiss him, and he kisses me back. When we depart, I say, "Would ya like ta check out the railroad?" He says, "The what?" I say, "Railroad, guess we both got lots of different things in our times... Anyways a railroad is made up of wood and metal, and trains go across 'em." He says, "What's a train?" I say, "It's something that carries many people from place ta place, and it runs on coal."
