Pass ports and plane tickets

Ennis was waiting around the phone, waiting for it to ring just sitting there looking at it he had finished most of his work and felt bad to leave Jack to the rest, but he couldn't miss this call, he had missed it once and that's was enough.

Waiting

Waiting

"Ennis, way your lookin at that phone your ganna burn a hole through it."

Jack had walked into the house and Ennis hadn't even noticed, concentrated on the phone as he was Jack wasn't surprised.

"Waitin for junior."

"Well, don't have to look at the phone all day, that's why it's a phone it makes a little sound when someone's callin, sounds like, well it sound like a god danm phone."

Ennis knew Jack was right he wasn't deaf he would hear it just fine; he got up and went to him and grabbed him up in his arms and hugged him.

"Jack you always know what to say."

"It's my job, babe" he said with a smile

Ennis grabbed him tighter grabbing his butt in his hands.

"Well if I wasn't waiting for a call I would do my job." He said with a sexy grin, the kind that always got Jack melting inside.

"Ennis! Don't get me all revved up if you can't do nothing about it."

Jack tried to pull away but Ennis held on tighter.

"Tonight." Ennis whispered and kissed Jack and then let him go.

"Well, well what's got you so horned up?"

"What? I can't tease you a bit Jack?"

"Not unless you mean it."

"I mean it."

With that he turned to go to the phone again, Jack on the other hand couldn't wait for bed time.

Back in Wyoming

Junior got home from school and set her book bag on the bench.

"Hey mama."

"Hey sweetheart, you want to come in the kitchen real quick please."

Junior headed down the hallway and she could smell the chicken roasting in the oven.

"What is it mama?"

"Umm your dad called this morning asking for you it sounded important."

"Oh yeah important?"

"Yes, so I guess you should call him, it's been a while, well it's been more then a while since you two talked."

"Mama."

"Yeah?"

Junior went on to tell her what happened between her and Ennis, all the things she said and how she felt. After she was done Alma looked at her in shock.

"You said all of that?"

Junior nodded her head

"Go pack a couple of bags, you'll have to miss the next three days of school but jenny can take care of that she'll get your missed work and you can do it when you get back, I will get your passport ready, your going to Colorado."

Apparently Alma felt that Junior needed time with her father, this must be why she hated him, or at least pretended to, she felt that a good couple of weeks would help her, Alma didn't like the fact that her daughter would be angry like that and hold such a grudge, she herself had found out that hatred never solved anything, she didn't have to like Ennis but she had to act civil with him for the sake of the girls and that of god. She wasn't going to contact him, better let it be a surprise.

That night Ennis never got a call from anyone, except from Jack who was calling from the bed room.

Back in Texas

"Bobby, get down here, your plane is leaving soon and you have to be on it."

Bobby ran down the stairs, at sixteen he was tall and built very handsome with dark brown hair he looked exactly like Jack except for the brown eyes he inherited from her.

At that moment she felt a longing, a longing for her daughter, Dorrin she looked at the picture on the table, jack had sent it this year in October, she had one for every year since kindergarten the girl looked back, beautiful long dark hair, good complexion, darker skin probably from working on a ranch all summer, and piercing blue eyes.

Jack.

Dorrin.

Her thoughts were disturbed when Bobby came thumping into the living room were she stood.

"Ready mama."

"Good let's get to it."
