Chapter 16

"So, how's it going with Tara?" Jack asked, flinging his beach towel on the back rest.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, come on, Crash, everyone knows that there was always something between the two of you."

"Whether there is or not, it's for me and Tara to know and you to find out." Bobby smirked.

"No problem, Tara will tell Sue, Sue will tell me, I'll laugh at you."

"Would Tara tell Sue?"

"Have you never been around women, they tell each other everything."

"Dang."

"Soo, you do want me to find out through Sue, or would you rather just tell me now?"

Bobby weighed his options, "What exactly do you want to know?"

"Well, have you, well, let's say…kissed?" Jack asked with a mischievous twinkle in his eye.

Bobby mock glared at his best friend, "Uh-huh…"

"And…"

"And what?"

"How was it?"

"Good."

"That's it? Good? That's all your going to give me?" Jack sighed, "Oh well, not a problem, I mean, Sue will tell me all the juicy details, and she'll probably exaggerate just to annoy you."

"Fine! It was amazing! Perfect, better than perfect!"

Jack smiled broadly, "That's what I'm talking about."

"You're a dead man." Bobby warned, although the smile he wore betrayed the threat.

Chloe ran up to them, "Jack! You want to see the kitty's Daddy gave me and Mommy?"

Jack glanced a questioning look at Bobby. He mouthed, Cats? To Chloe he said, "Sure, Chlo', where are they?"

"Daddy said we could keep them inside."

Indoor cats? Jack mouthed to Bobby. Chloe dashed off towards the house and in less than a few seconds the door slammed shut and Jack and Bobby followed, even though Bobby stayed in the living room with Tara. Chloe grabbed Sue's hand and pulled her along, too.

"Be quiet, Bird!" Tara lightly pushed the kitten away with her foot and continued eating.

"Mommy! Don't push Bird! What did she ever do to you?" Chloe said.

"Nothing, sugar, she was just getting annoying."

Sue shrugged, "I didn't hear a thing."

"Thank you!" Chloe exclaimed, then tilted her head, thinking.

Jack and Bobby watched the conversation unfold with amusement.

Tara glared at Sue, "Thanks for the help."

"I get it!" Chloe exclaimed out of nowhere, gaining a laugh from the adults.

Tara cleared her throat, "You know there's a really great beach less than an hour away, if we wanted to go tomorrow, the weather is supposed to be great."

"Can Michael come?"

"Maybe another time, sweetie."

"Well, can I go to their house instead, you old people will just be boring."

"Chloe, mind your manners, we have guests," Bobby warned sternly.

"Sorry, Daddy," Chloe muttered, sheepishly pushing her food around on the plate with her fork.

"Are you sure you don't want to come? Us old people can be real fun sometimes." Sue offered.

"No offence, but I'd rather play with kids my age."

Raising her eyebrows Tara looked at Bobby. He nodded. Tara said, "It's alright with me and Bobby if you go, but I want to talk to his mom before I promise you can go."

"Yes! Thanks Mommy!" She put down her fork, "Can I go? I'm full."

"Sure, can you feed the cats before you go play?" Bobby said.

"Okay!" She jumped up out of her chair, grabbed her dishes and ran off, calling the kittens to follow, which they did with unmistakable glee.
