Staceygirl- LOL, everyone is picking who they want Kylah to date. Thanks for your review.
Wakingbear- Yes, and I hope you read how it all continues.
Strangexbutxtrue- I forgive you for lack of review, LOL. Just be patient the story will all happen in time.
Lia06- You'll have to wait and see who Kylah dates. I wish your computer liked me more.
Meadow567- Well, you'll have to just wait anyway. I hope you enjoy this chappie.
B- I am so glad you liked the angel thing. I cracked up while writing it.
Killerkeanegirl- I didn't mean to make you conflicted, but as long as you're having fun, it's all good. No, you can't be Kylah, I'm sorry. LOL And I didn't mean for Craig to be uncle-like. And I do enjoy your reviews. Don't hit yourself too hard, you might bruise!
Emador- Mac is such a cute flirt and so fun to write. I hope you enjoy this chappie.
Note- The story I included about how Harrington got the nickname Bah is true. I read in an interview he gave that his brother Joe was only 10 months older than him and when learning to talk called him Bah for baby and the nickname stuck.
Also, missed some of my favorite reviewer's last chappie. Hope to hear from you soon. Those of you reviewing, BIG HUGS! Peace and Love.
My phone started ringing as I jumped out of the shower. I ran to answer it, barely getting a towel around myself.
"Hello?" I said.
"Kylah, where are you?" I heard Bah asking on the other end of the phone.
"I'm running a little late. I am so sorry, I fell asleep and woke up and just jumped out of the shower. I'll meet you guys as fast as I can." I said.
"She just got out of the shower." I heard Bah telling some others.
"What is she wearing?" I heard Buzz asked. "Is she naked?"
"Kylah is naked!" Verchota yelled so loud I heard it from down the hall.
"Yeah what are you wearing?" Bah asked me.
"Well if you must know, I have a towel wrapped around me." I sighed.
"She's in a towel!" Bah told the others.
"I'll give her one hundred dollars to walk out her door and drop that towel!" Mac yelled into the phone.
"The way y'all act, I'm beginning to think you're all virgins!" I said.
"Nah, just Pav and Rammer!" Bah said.
"I am not!" I heard Ramsey complain in the background.
"I'll be down to meet you as soon as I get dressed!" I said.
"Okay." Bah said and hung up.
I ran into my room to get dressed. I already had my clothes laid out. I had barely gotten my shirt pulled over my head when I heard pounding on my door.
"You still in that towel?" Verchota yelled.
"No!" I yelled back.
"SHE'S NAKED!" Buzz yelled. "Open the door!"
"I'm gonna buy you boys some Playboys!" I yelled back while pulling on my jeans.
"Save your money and open the door!" Mac yelled. "Live entertainment is better anyways!"
I laughed and shook my head. I pulled on my shoes and opened the door.
"Couldn't you boys wait a few more minutes?" I giggled.
"We still gotta stop by and gather up the boys from Boston." Ramsey said.
Verchota threw an arm around me. "My date is ready, we can go!"
I pulled away and hugged Buzz. "Buzzy is my date tonight."
"I am?" Buzz smiled. I winked at him. "Right, she's my date…do I need to kick Bah out of the room after the movie?"
I giggled. "Nah, then my other stand-by date would get jealous!" I giggled, winking at Mac.
We walked down the hall to find the boys from Boston. Pav knocked on the door of both rooms that the four Boston boys were sharing. Rizzo opened the door.
"Guess it's time to go." Rizzo said. "OC will be out in a minute, had to fix his hair."
Silk and Jimmy Craig walked out of the other room, joining the large group that was getting ready to go see Rocky II.
Finally OC walked out into the hallway. "Hey everyone, are we ready…." OC trailed off talking when he saw me standing with the boys. "Isn't Rocky a guy's movie?"
"Isn't taking so long to do your hair a girl's habit?" I asked and rolled my eyes.
"OC, let's just go and have fun. We all want Kylah to come with us." Silk said.
"I've changed my mind. I have some stuff I need to do around here." OC said.
"Jack, don't…." Rizzo started.
"Save it Rizzo. I'm not going." OC said and walked back into his room.
"Maybe I should stay here, so all you boys can go together." I said.
"Don't even start that. We want you to go." Bah said.
"OC is just being a baby, ignore him." Silk said.
"He gets mad when he can't have his own way." Jimmy said.
"Well let's go. Rocky and Adrian await!" Baker said.
"How far is this theater?" I asked as we started walking towards the exit.
"It's only a few blocks from the U. We go all the time." Mac said.
"Which is why we're walking rather than piling 10 people in Janny's car!" Christian said.
"There were never 10 people in my car…" Janny said. "It was 8."
We walked out of the building and turned down the sidewalk, following the boys from Minnesota who knew the way.
"Where around here can I go to get my hunting license?" I asked.
"You go hunting?" Baker asked me.
"Sure. Daddy had me in the woods since before it was legal for me to be out there." I said.
"A girl who hunts!" Buzzy said and picked me up. "I'm marrying her!"
I laughed. "Buzzy, I can't breathe." He set me back down.
"That is so awesome. Do you ever go trap shooting?" Janny asked me.
"Yeah, last year my daddy bought me a Franchi for my birthday." I said.
"I'm in love!" Baker said, putting a hand over his heart.
I smiled and shook my head.
"We'll have to take the little woman hunting and see what she can do." Janny said.
"What do you hunt down in North Carolina?" Ramsey asked.
"Deer, rabbits, squirrels, coons, bears, and my dad likes trapping foxes." I said.
"You've hunted bears?" Baker said. "That's it. I'm marrying her."
"I said I was marrying her first!" Buzz said.
"Don't I get a say in this?" I joked.
"We've just never met a girl that hunts before. And hunts big game at that." Buzz said.
"Ignore them Kylah." Mac said. "They start in on hunting and won't shut up for hours!"
"Oh it's alright, Jake used………how much farther is the theater?" I finished.
"Around the next corner." Ramsey said.
Behind me I heard Silky start humming the Rocky theme. I snickered.
"By the way Kylah, we still have a drinking match to see who's the better drinker sometime." Verchota said.
"I hadn't forgotten. You just say when and where and I'll be there with Jack and Jim." I winked.
"Philip, I'm gonna laugh when she drinks you ass under the table." Bah said.
"I can out drink Verchota." Silk said.
"You could not." Verchota said.
"Wanna find out? I'm free tomorrow evening." Silk said.
"Fine bring your bottle of choice, I'll bring mine." Verchota said.
"Looks like tomorrow, we get to watch Silky and Philly get drunk as hell." Bah said.
"Not me, I have a meeting with Coach Patrick." I said. "But let me know how it turns out."
We bought our tickets and went into the theater. The boys wanted to sit in the back row. I ended up between Bah and Buzz.
"I don't think that actor is pretty enough to play Adrian." I told Bah.
"Yeah, she's too plain looking." He whispered back.
We watched the movie. Adrian pregnant and Rocky has to fight to provide for them. Of course it's a happy ending. Adrian and the baby are fine and Rocky wins.
When the movie was over we started the walk back to the U. Actually, Janny was busy pretending to be Rocky. Every pair of steps we passed, no matter how many steps there were, Janny ran up them and pumped his fists in the air.
"I say we leave him the next time he runs up steps." Ramsey said.
"Isn't one goofy talking, overgrown boxer enough?" I laughed.
"ADRIAN!" Bah yelled.
"Kylah, will you be my Adrian?" Verchota asked me.
"Ewww, that would require me having your kid." I said, with mock horror.
"I hope it looks like Kylah. If it looks like Verchota…poor kid!" Janny said.
"Hey!" Verchota pretended to pout.
We walked back into the dorm and the boys started scattering to their rooms. I started down the hall when I noticed Bah and Buzzy were still with me.
"Do you guys need something?" I asked them.
"Not really. Just walking you back to your room." Buzz said.
"It's a pretty safe hallway, I should be okay!" I laughed.
"What kind of gentlemen would we be then?" Bah joked.
"At least you're not treating me like I'm a horrible person. Or asking me to have your kids." I said.
"Philly is just like that. He flirts with all the pretty girls." Buzzy said. "The rule around the Gophers was 'Hide your sisters!'."
"So what else you have planned for the weekend?" I asked the boys.
"Not much. Relaxing mostly. Herb is working us hard." Bah said.
We arrived at my door. "Would you boys like to come in? Have a drink or something?"
"If you don't mind." Buzz shrugged.
"Not at all. I finally got everything in place. But I have to find a place around here that sells some southern food." I said as I turned on the lights.
"You're going to have a hard time finding a place that sells possum burgers!" Bah said.
"I'll have you know I have never eaten possum." I said with a laugh. "Have a seat."
The boys took a seat and I grabbed a few sodas out of the fridge.
"Are you homesick?" Bah asked.
"A little. I've never been out of the south for more than a few days here and there. But everyone, well except OC, has been so nice to me. And Coach Patrick has been good too." I said.
"We don't know what's up with OC." Buzz said.
"It's okay. Not everyone likes a woman in sports." I said. I assumed that was what was bothering OC.
"Can we hear another of your stories about your pappy running shine?" Bah asked.
I chuckled. "Well, pappy and Uncle Carl had a truck of shine and it was due in Sevierville across the Tennessee border……."
