Sometime later there was a knock at Diana's door and the dogs both alerted. She said " Jason would you get that please, I'm too comfy right here."
" Absolutely darling you stay there and rest."
Jason pulled the white t shirt back on that he had worn into the bedroom and then went to the living room when the dogs made low rumbling sounds again.
" Easy boys I'll see who it is in just a minute." Then he opened the door.
A woman in her later fifties with some rhinestones on what looked like denim jeans and a pink loose fitting too that had Diana's eyes but darker hair with a red streak stood there.
" Well who are you, you tall handsome drink of water." Loretta Lindsay said with a smile.
" Dr. Jason Bull, I'm in a relationship with Diana. And you are?"
" Why I'm just her mama. People around here call me Loretta or Mrs. Judge Lindsay most of the time. I brought Diana some chicken soup from over at the diner, Her father decided to just tell me now that she was feeling under the weather. I swear Hamilton doesn't think she would want her mama to make it better sometimes."
" She's resting right now. It may be the after effects of her flu shot but she wants to take it easy."
" Well then I guess I'll head back over to our spread then, You tell her if she needs me to call. But then I'm sure you're taking all kinds of the right care of her now aren't you. You're that doctor from New York who does trial whatever. Something that Diana would be interested in. I don't know how that girl will ever get a husband if she doesn't get more domestic." Her mother sighed.
" Well ma'am just so you know I'm quite fond of Diana just the way she is."
" You Northerners always do speak your mind, I'll check in on my daughter later." " How long are you here exactly Dr. Bull?" There was a little chill in her voice.
" At least for the weekend, It depends on how long Diana wants my company."
" I see." Then the heels of her candy apple red cowboy boots clicked out the door.
Jason sighed. How in the world had Diana come from that woman. They were nothing alike that he could see. He went back to the bedroom again.
" Who was at the door honey?" Diana asked softly.
" Your mother, she brought some soup. I put it in the refrigerator. I think she was a little surprised to find me here. Now that I have met her I can see that you two are nothing alike. I think she wanted me gone, she asked how long I was in town, I told her at least the weekend and it depended on how long you wanted my company."
Diana leaned up and ran her fingers down his chest. " Thank you darlin. I need some quiet until I feel better and with mama well she likes to inflate drama when there isn't any, I may have to have Daddy take her to shop in Austin to keep her distracted but that can wait until tommorrow."
Jason nodded. " Yes it can, why don't we both get some rest now so I don't think we'll have anymore guests tonight."
Long overdue update. More to come .
