"Necesitamos estar dispuesto a permitir nuestra guía de la intuición nosotros y entonces estar dispuesto a seguir esa guía directamente y bravamente."
"We need to be willing to let our intuition guide us and then be willing to follow that guidance directly and fearlessly."
They finally made it through the week and Friday morning they were packing to leave. Psymon made fun of Alyssa as she left for school then she pulled the shorty card again and Denise drove away as they began to fight.
"Your sister is so hot," Dane said.
"What?"
"I said do guys ever get along?"
Psymon laughed, "Ehh….no."
The second Denise came back home Tom came out and threw his son the keys to the truck, " Let's get going"
Psymon finally got his basic license back in February fourteenth on his birthday. Dane got his license a whole month earlier on his birthday. So Tom let Psymon drive the F250 while he gave him directions and Dane sat in the back of the quad cab. Soon enough they were off for a four hour drive to the hotel, The Golden Gates View Spa & Hotel, on Mount Summit in Okanagan Valley.
Dane kept complaining his butt was numb as they kept loosing their radio station signals. "Alright, Psymon, pull into this gas station, I'll ask where this damn hotel is," Tom said. Psymon pulled in and shut the truck off as he saw his mom park right next to him. All of them exited their vehicles.
"Well?," his mom asked, "Where is this place? It's probably some dirty hotel anyway, they probably just gave it a good name to sound good. There's no way they would give a room in one of the resorts on the mountain."
"No doubt," Tom said as he gave Melissa ten dollars to get herself and the boys some food from the convenient store that was a part of the gas station. "So how many beds do you think we'll get?" Dane asked as they walked inside.
"I don't know, we'll probably be crammed into one little room with two beds, if that. I wish Angel could've come," Psymon.
"That dog is way too hyper for a trip like this," Melissa said grabbing a pepsi from the fridge.
Soon Denise rushed in and got their attention, "Hey guys! Guess what! Our hotel is a five star hotel on the mountain itself!"
The guys high fived, "Alright!"
Dane put his arm around Melissa, "This trip is bitchin'."
She pinched his sleeve and pushed his arm off her with a smile, "Good things come to good people."
Dane gave Psymon a weird look. He just shrugged.
They finally arrived to the front doors of the hotel. People in uniform parked their vehicles and took their luggage and Psymon's equipment, including his bike. They got to theirs room and found out they all had to stay in one room. They opened the door and almost fainted. Two beds, a complete living room set with big screen TV, a full kitchen, a bathroom with dual sinks a jacuzzi tub and standing shower, and last but not least a bar.
"We're gunna have fun," Tom laughed.
"Well who gets the beds?" Melissa asked.
"I get one since we wouldn't even be here without me," Psymon said, "And mom and dad get the other one."
Melissa put her hands on her hips, "I don't think that's fair."
"Well nobody cares what you think."
She had a mad face while taking his hat holding in the air. "Damn it, I hate when guys do that," he said jumping for it. Melissa kept laughing at him as did Dane.
Denise finally cut in grabbing the hat from Melissa, "Come on stop playing around, let's get unpacked. And Melissa, be careful what you do, one day Psymon may just out grow you."
Melissa only laughed, "Right." Psymon cringed, she sounded just like her sister right there.
The following morning Tom saw they had snowboarding and skiing courses as he, his wife, and daughter went there for the day and Psymon and Dane went to the practice grounds. As Psymon was replacing his pegs a stocky man came up to them.
Psymon turned his head up then stood, "Hey Mr. Stockton."
Ron Stockton shook his hand, "Ready for tomorrow?"
"Yea jut getting some last minute practice in sir." Psymon tried to be polite as possible seeing how this is the man was his primary sponsor.
"That's good, listen, one of the competitions is a one jump course and its going around that your gunna take gold. So practice doing as many tricks in one jump as possible, don't want to disappoint the crowd now," Mr. Stockton then walked away with his hands in his suit pockets.
Dane put a hand on his Psymon's bony shoulder, "You gunna be ok man?"
"I think so."
That night Psymon sat out on the balcony clutching his silver cross necklace. The view of the mountain at night was spectacular. Lights of all colors cascaded across the landscape along with life flowing throughout the buildings below. "Beautiful isn't it?"
Psymon turned around seeing Melissa standing next to him in her robe and slippers. "Yea," he said dully.
"Don't be too nervous. What we think, we become. Words by Buddha. If you think you can do it, you can, make it yours."
Psymon stood up and looked up into her eyes. "Thanks," he cracked. She giggled.
"Yea laugh now."
"You voice really cracks when your stressed, more then usual," she told him.
They both made their way inside and went back to sleep.
