Jim's P.O.V.
I'm glad that trip is over, now I might actually get to have a normal night's rest. The boys and Billie are tryin' to decide who gets what room I figure as long as I get one I'll be glad. The sooner they pick the sooner Frank, Jesse, Cole and Bob will be gone and I can talk to Billie 'bout what happened the other day. I think she's been avoidin' me for the few times we've been able to talk. I can help think 'bout how she kissed me or how she had said, "But maybe I feel the same." That girl drives me crazy she's tellin' you she loves you one minute and avoidin' you the next. It would be better if I could talk to Jesse or Bob 'bout this but I think Jesse would kill me if I told him I was in love with his sister and Bob just doesn't approve of the thing at all. I think they might have a point. I mean I've known her since we were kids it would be weird for all of us.
After the boys had dealt with the room thing they left for town I think they were going to take Billie with them but she said she didn't want to get called a paid lady again. I pretended that I had gone to sleep until after they had gone. I almost had until I heard a knock on my door.
"Jimmy can I come in."
" Yeah sure." I said I was bein' too lazy to go open the door. Billie came in.
"I thought you were avoidin' me." I said with a smile.
"No, I just need some time to think." She said as she sat down beside me.
"Think 'bout what?"
"Bout us, bout what happened, bout how I'm goin' to tell my brothers."
" So by the sounds of the last one I'm takin' that were not goin' to pretend like it never happened." I said she shook her head.
" I meant what I said Jimmy I like you a lot," she said lookin' straight in my eyes. "Did you?"
" Billie Sophia James, I've never felt this way bout anyone." Couldn't believe she doubted me.
"Good," she said as she lay down next to me.
" So how are we goin' to tell our brothers."
" I'm not sure, but I don't think Jesse and Cole are goin' to be happy 'bout this."
"That Billie I can guarantee you."
" I wish they would just understand."
"But they won't and I would bet that Jesse won't like it either."
"Yeah well my brother is really anti-love lately so he don't like anythin' "
I laughed. It was true Jesse was really moody lately and I personally blame Zee Mimms.
"God the out side must really be gettin' to me cause I could sleep." Billie said with a yawn. I nodded I had been pretty tired myself.
"I think it's more the fact we've been sleepin' every where but in a bed the last couple days."
"Yeah it might be that too." She said the next thing I knew she had fallen asleep. Now I was in a real predicament I didn't want to wake her, I couldn't go no where else and I could very well sleep there or Jesse and Cole would have my head. I guess with all the worryin' made me fall asleep too cause the next thing I knew Cole was yellin' at me to wake up cause he was goin' to kill me if I had done anythin'.
