The Girl. Page 14

  Sebastian stood wiping sweat off, as another person said, “Hey you cannot break look at this load man!”

  Looking into the full truck Sebastian replied, “Gosh mastermind, think I don’t know or have eyes, because I am not breaking buddy get your facts straight”.

  The person jumps off the ramp, got in Sebastian’s face and said, “I don’t think I like you’re your attitude”, and Sebastian very sober faced said, “Do something about it”.

  The supervisor hollered, “Is there a problem?” Sebastian gave the person before him a dirty look literally growling.

  “No sir”, getting back to work with Sebastian, that got a break an hour later and sat on a crate eating an apple, yawns a few times. Back at the Wiley home, everyone was having fun playing a game laughing, as they even ordered a pizza.

  Until, Seth comes rushing into the back door now with blood all on him and was holding his nose everyone looked, as he hurried by the sink.

  Paul Gene said, “Hey rebel”.

  Disgusted, Brenda shook her head and said, “Oh lord not your nose again Seth!” Now Paul Gene yelled, “HEY THERE CHAMP”.

  Turning around with his nose all bloody Paul Gene said, “Yep Seth looks pretty bad”.

  “Man, I think it’s broke again for the third time in my life, young life too”. “Pause the game y’all while I check on the fighter” said Paul Gene that went over by Seth. Leaning over in his chair, Saul told Shane, “Man it’s not even bar night”, and Shane just smiled, as he did feel better.

  “Yep Seth boy it is broken”, as he was checking Seth’s nose.

  Brenda rose her eyebrows and Paul Gene added, “Heck Seth what did you do”.

  “Oh man my nose is going to be disfigured”, touching his bloody nose.

  Brenda was upset, as Paul Gene shook his head and a bit mad.

  This makes how many times with Seth.

  “I swear when I work the bar from now on I am wearing a mask”, and his two brothers laughed. “Oh come on maw, let’s take Seth down to the hospital”, said Paul Gene grabbing his keys off the counter.

  “Okay let me grab my purse,” and she went hurrying to get it and cracking his knuckles, Saul asked, “How’d that happen little bro?”

  Seth was holding his nose and said, “Me and Missy, were at the arcade room and some jerks started, so I fought them of course”.

  “Hey little buddy, how do they look?” With a silly grin and Seth said, “I do not know Shane, because they didn’t get up while we were still there”.

  Shane smiled saying, “Woo-wee, you are a champion”, as Saul laughed too. “Funny y’all, just make jokes about it”.

  Saul along with Shane was cracking up laughing, making comments, “Tough guy”. “Those fist should be illegal”, Shane pushing Saul added, “No outlaw”, as the busted up in tears laughing so hard.

  “Ha-ha real funny y’all”, wiping his face with the towel.

  His brothers are really laughing and Ella just held her smiles back taking a sip of her ginger ale, feeling nauseated again.

  Getting aggravated, Seth pointed at his brothers saying, “Know what, one time I will take you both on and show y’all I really am a rebel”.

  His brothers now giving a high five to each other laughing like crazy.

  Waving his hand at his brothers Seth said, “Fools, I ready showed you Shane so why you laughing”,

  “Huh?”

  Putting his hands up to his face acting scared, Saul said, “Darn Shane we just got called on”. “Yep sure did, shoot I am kind of scared”.

  Both laughing very hard pretending to bite on their fingers nervously, as Seth just waved his hand at them again and held his bloody nose with his other.

  Ella just sat quietly munching on a saltine cracker, as she was very nauseated. Brenda and Paul Gene comes into the kitchen, Brenda said, “Come on Seth boy”, digging through her purse mumbling, “Where is the insurance card?”

  Seth was making faces at his brothers who were quiet now and noticing Seth sticking his tongue out at his brothers, Brenda said, “Seth what’s wrong with you, don’t tease your brothers”.

  Nodding, Paul Gene added, “Yep boy want to get your nose smashed by them”, acting all innocent, because their parents entered the kitchen.

  Walking out the back door, Paul Gene said, “Come on tough guy, let’s roll”, as Seth was going out, he turned around throwing his bloody towel at them and said,

  “Get a good look at blood, because that will be the two of you from me”.

  They laughed harder than they were already, and Ella giggled.

  Waving his hand back at them, Seth even flicked his middle finger behind his parents back. His two brothers cracked up laughing and Shane even fell off his chair.

  After a few minutes of laughing in tears, Saul with Ella and Shane sat there talking and playing cards.

  Doorbell ringing, Shane said, “I got it, just finish the game”.

  Therefore, he went opening the front door where there was an older woman with gray hair standing there holding a baby girl a few months old.

  The little baby had dark curly hair, in locks actually wearing a pink sleeper when Shane asked, “Can I help you?”

  Looking up and down the porch, “Is this the right house?”

  Shane glanced around and said, “Woe lady, you lost me here, who are you looking for?” “The Wiley’s”.

  “Well yep this is the house, what do you need with um?”

  Suddenly, she reached the little baby out to Shane jumping back fast, putting his hands up

  saying, “Now just hold up lady, I never go in without my raincoat”.

  Insisting, she kept the baby held out to Shane that said, “Aw keep the baby away from me”. Kept his hands up and added, “Look, no way I got a kid, or would want to ever in life”. Looked at Shane that put his hand to his chin and added, “Aw, been thinking about getting one of those vasectomies”.

  The woman was very persistent and kept holding the baby out dangling her practically. Hand still up he said, “Just turn right around lady, because wrong Wiley’s you got here”.

  Sadly she said, “Please, Seth Wiley does he live here?”

  Putting his one hand near his ear, “Come again which brother?”

  “Seth Wiley”.

  Raising his black eyebrows high, Shane remarked, “Huh, that’s funny lady, I thought you told me a sixteen-year-old is her daddy”.

  The woman smiled and Shane added, “Heck by the looks of that kid”, paused counting on his fingers and smiled saying, “Woo-wee fifteen- years-old, hilarious lady, now just go with your lies”.

  She was not about to go no place and he mumbled, “Gee this chick looks like my ninth grade teacher, she was meaner than a snake”.

  The stubborn woman reached the infant closer, when he said, “Look Miss Kovach, I’ll never tell a sole you been here trying to blame my innocent baby brother”.

  “Who is Miss Kovach?”

  He slapped his forehead saying, “A boot camp teacher”.

  She was stubborn holding the baby close by him and the baby started crying, quickly he blocked his ears raising his voice loudly,

  “Go blame another brother teacher”.

  The woman set a diaper bag down and the baby cried harder, squinting his face holding his ears tight from the screaming baby Shane yelled, “OUR NAME IS TACKETT!”

  “Take the child boy”. Gripping his ears from the screaming baby, he replied, “Nah, I don’t want to teacher”. “I’m not leaving until you take Seth Wiley’s daughter, by the way I was never a teacher”. Shane was holding his ears tightly blocked and did not hear a word she said, as he was humming.

  Becoming annoyed, rose her voice saying, “Take Seth’s child!”

  Instantly, Shane took his hands off from his ears putting them by his mouth saying, “Aw hush lady somebody’s gonna hear a kid is a child’s daddy, holy-cow what a scandal”. “I will leave her right on this porch” and the baby was screaming. Squinting hi
s face again from the squeals of the baby he said, “Aw have mercy on my ears, hush that munchkin up, because I am getting sharp head pains”.

  Boxing his ears hard from the screaming baby and shaking her head at him said, “Her blood father will calm her”.

  Pulling on his red ear lobes, Shane replied, “Ah doubt it, poor boy can’t even make toast, heck how he can tend to a balling lullaby kid”. The woman kept the infant close to Shane that held his ears mumbling, “I miss Kansas definitely now, don’t like munchkin world”.

  She looked at him strange, as he was tapping his boot heels together.

  Repeatedly.

  Getting mad at Shane Wiley she said, “Seth Wiley will learn with his child”.

  “Nope sorry lady, hope you find the real Wiley’s, goodbye for at least seventeen-years”. Then pointed at her and said, “Aw please don’t follow me either down that yellow gravel road”. In a flash, Shane rushed back inside shutting the door fast and was leaning against the front door tightly, even locked it securely. The woman banged on the door constantly, as Shane leaned with all his might against the other end and Saul comes walking through and heard the banging, gives a funny look at the door. Pointing at the front door, “Shane who is pounding on the door?” Looking at his brother

  sweating fretfully, Shane replied, “Glinda the Tupperware lady, just won’t take no for an answer that maw has cupboards loaded”. Shaking his head at his dimwitted brother, he said, “Okay”. Becomes upset the woman yelled, “Fine I’ll just leave her here”.

  Pointing back towards the door, “Hey wait, what did Glinda the Tupperware lady just say?” Laughing Shane remarked, “Huh, imagine that, guess she is gonna leave bowls with those slippers anyway”, and he was nervous.

  Waving his hand Saul walked away mumbling, “Looks like he’s getting ear infections, because their blood red”.

  Walking through the house heading toward the kitchen, Saul hollered back, “Hey Shane, get rid of that crazy Tupperware lady”.

  “Aw sure thing brother”.

  “I mean it Shane”.

  “All right, heard you loud and clear”, leaning against the door.

  Suddenly, the banging stopped and Shane wiped off his forehead mumbling, “Whew thank god, because that witch gave me a work out”.

  Therefore, he went back into the kitchen and sat down finishing the card game with his brother and Ella.

  Shane was softly mumbling, “Gee munchkin babies are exhausting too”.

  They sat playing cards, as a baby started to cry heavily, Saul looked at Ella that said, “It’s not coming from me, I have months to go”.

  The baby screamed loudly when Saul looked over at sweating and beat red Shane that was really shuffling those cards nervously, as cards were even falling to the floor

  Grinning at his frantic looking brother, Saul asked, “Hey Shane there was no Tupperware lady, huh?” Ella looked at him burning up in fright.

  “Oh there was an old lady really trying to sell something”, bent down reaching to pick cards up off the floor. The baby kept screaming and Ella got up from her chair in a hurry rushing through the house following the cries to the front door and opening it, putting her hands by her face she yelled, “Saul!”

  Shane just sat by the table when Saul rushed away and shuffling cards Shane said, “Woe Seth you’re in deep waters with maw and paw, I tried to get rid of the screaming evidence”.

  He sat dealing the cards out on the table and said, “Aw heck, I tried to get rid of the good witch who loves waving a kid not a wand”.

  Sat there stunned shuffling cards and mumbling, “Woo-wee, she was no good witch, mean as a snake not monkeys”. Chuckling added, “The whole story got mixed up”.

  On the front porch, stood Ella with Saul looking down at the baby in a carrier and there was a diaper bag at the side of the carrier with a letter.

  Saul bent picking the letter up, as he gave the curly haired baby a grin, Ella stood there stunned and he reads it aloud.

  Here is Dana Adam’s, and Seth Wiley’s daughter Samantha Faye Wiley.

  Seth never knew of the baby for Dana refused his knowing and did not want to burden him. Dana been institutionalized for substance addiction, which has been an ongoing battle. The innocent child needs a good home along with stable environment.

  I hope with her blood father Seth Wiley.

  Sincerely Dana’s Grandma Helen Adam’s, PS. Love Sammy!

  Putting her hand by her mouth, “Gee, that’s what happened to Dana”, said Ella looking at Seth’s daughter.

  Saul stood speechless looking down at the baby blowing raspberries.

  “Oh my, Dana went off to have her and Seth’s kid, it was bad like I figured”. Saul was at a loss for words, but did say, “We better get the toddler in”. Holding her growing stomach, Ella replied, “You lift the carrier it’s too heavy in my condition”. Rolling his eyes, Saul bend down by the baby that was smiling and said, “Aw, she’s a cute little one”.

  Lifting the carrier with his youngest brothers child added, “Wonder what paw and maw are going to say about this?” Ella now shrugged her shoulders and he said, “Shoot Seth too, he is just sixteen, a kid”. Setting the carrier down on the burgundy sofa Ella was quiet and Saul smiled at his niece. Looking at the baby Saul added, “Shoot Seth can’t even make toast or tend to himself how’s he gonna tend to a kid”.

  “Guess this is bad”, said Ella touching her stomach.

  The baby started to cry again and Saul raised his pale eyebrows, Ella said, “Hey check the bag for a bottle”. Pulling out a bottle squinting from the screaming baby, Saul reached it to Ella fast and she bent down to the carrier lifting the baby out saying, “Oh come here sweet little girl”. Saul stood with Shane that comes into the living room now both looking on in shock and suddenly the kitchen sounded loud.

  Hanging up his keys on the hook, Paul Gene said, “Okay Seth boy, remember what I told you think twice block your nose, please for the third time telling you, use those karate moves”. Seth had his nose all wrapped up in a bandage and replied, “Yes paw, but I don’t like using my moves, I want to fight fair”.

  “Well that way gets your nose broken lately”.

  Paul Gene winked and Brenda went hanging her purse up in the laundry room when Seth went walking through the dining room right into the living room.

  Saw Ella rocking a baby that was a sleep and asked, “Woe Ella, have the kid all ready?” Saul and Shane smirked at Seth, as the baby cried out again.

  Right away Seth grabbed his ears saying, “Screeching”, and Saul with Shane grin at the same time.

  Holding his ears still Seth said, “Yep that’s a crying baby, I better buy ear plugs”. Saul looked at Seth and said, “Better get use to the screeching noise daddy -O”, walking away waving his hand back at Seth that froze.

  Pointing Shane mumbled, “See what you get from sneaking back off to Kansas”, and Seth asked, “Huh, we never lived there fool, it’s Kentucky”.

  Swinging his arm out, “Aw the story did get mixed up, because they told the wrong state”, said Shane scratching his head.

  Seth looked at dazed and confused Shane and said, “Heck, I’ll never be a drop out, because ruined for life over it”, as he looked serious at his brother.

  Ella tried to calm the baby down walking around the living room swaying the baby in her arms. Seth took his eyes off his poor brother and onto the baby.

  His hands tremble nervously and Seth asked, “What did Saul say Shane about that kid?” Waving his long finger in Seth’s face, “Nah I’ll do the asking here, how’d you make a kid”, and Seth remarked, “Why did I ask him, who is dumb as a rock”.

  Ella giggled quietly, rocking the baby on the wooden rocking chair that put the baby to sleep. Seth got all excited now saying, “What kid, shoot I haven’t yet with Missy”.

  Pointing at the baby, Shane remarked, “Ah, you better not either from the looks of that blubbering lullaby dancer”.

  Seth rubbed his head of
long dark curls and Shane added, “You know boy your whole life is trapped, heck tied down with years of screeching, never ending”, as Seth looked ready to cry.

  Putting his hand against his forehead “Lord almost forgot about all the wants”, remarked Shane and Seth was looking at the baby, as Shane rave on.

  Then patting Seth on the back, Shane said, “Have fun hearing screaming all night, better buy a few packs of ear plugs little daddy”.

  Shane walked away leaving Seth behind in shock and Ella just looked down at the precious baby. However, they could still hear Shane, “Heck should have gone to the corner store spent a

  quarter, because now he has to spend more on those darn ear plugs”.

  Seth stood silently along with Ella rocking the baby and listening to Shane carrying on saying. “See how reasonable twenty-five cents is compare to a fortune in the long run with clothes”. “Aw heck dolls, prissy dresses not to mention stuck up ballerina classes”.

  “Which being a lullaby kid, she’ll be a good dancer”. Shane was rambling on, as they heard his door shut finally and Seth was standing there looking at the baby along with Ella smiling down at her.

  Suddenly, Shane opened his door back up and said, “Aw man don’t forget dealing with naughty boys chasing her, the money you’ll spend on aspirin in the long run”.

  Upset, Seth yelled, “STOP SHANE!” Looking at the baby asked, “Hey Ella is it true, my kid?” “Yes Seth and Dana’s the mother”. Running out of the living room fast and Ella heard Seth’s door slam, she had tears now and felt bad, as she held his baby girl tightly.

  Paul Gene with Brenda comes walking into the living room and she was asking, “What’s this

  entire door slamming?”

  Noticing the infant Paul Gene said, “A baby here”.

  Brenda put her hand by her mouth mumbling, “That guy was right at the market”, as

  she played nervously with her locket, Paul Gene asked, “Hey who’s kid?”

  Brenda knew it had to be their lost grandchild, because why else would a baby be there. Rocking the sleeping baby, Ella replied, “I shouldn’t be the one to tell you both”, and Saul comes back in the living room.
