we can do.”
Chapter Twenty One – Cody
He had been at the boy’s home for six years. Not once had he been asked about until now. Today another orphan Wallace had said something about his mother, who he didn’t even know, and he had laid him out flat. One hit and he had taken him down. That’s when that man and lady had asked about him.
The man seemed nice enough. He had a cowboy hat which was cool. He sat and asked him all sorts of questions about his life and he didn’t have much to tell him really. He asked why he hit Wallace and he hadn’t hesitated.
“He was talking about my mother, I don’t even know who she is but you don’t talk about a person's family, it just ain't right.” He had wiped his nose on the sleeve of his shirt and the lady had given him a tissue.
He wasn’t sure about her yet.
She looked like one of those women he saw singing on TV. She was really pretty, but she only talked about clothes and shoes, what sizes he wore. The only time she said anything worth hearing was about his favorite foods. They had visited him every week for a month now and today they had walked in and asked him if he wanted to come live with them. He just looked at them wondering if they were for real.
“You sure about that? I mean, don’t you want a baby or some cute girl or something? Boys, like me we don’t ever get asked.” He scrunched up his face as the lady wiped the chocolate from his cheek from their lunch together.
The man and lady looked at each other and smiled, the man touched her hand. They sure did like to hug and stuff, they even hugged him sometimes which he liked, kind.
“Yes, Cody, we are sure.” Parker smiled at him
“Well, can I bring my own stuff?”
“You can bring anything you want. We live on a ranch.”
This time the lady told him. She must be the boss.
“Really! Oh man, you got horses and stuff?” He sat up. This could be cool after all.
The man, smiled down at him and ruffled his hair.
“We have both, and we have a place there where you can learn how to ride them. Plus, you will have a room all to yourself, to decorate any way you want it.”
Cody, looked at them both. It must be his lucky day. “OK, if you want me then I’ll go with you."
He shrugged. The man and the woman hugged him again and the three of them walked down to the office. It’s funny how things happen, just last week he was hoping and praying something good would happen for his birthday and now he was getting his own room. He watched the lady smooth down her skirt. She was going to make him wash behind his ears and eat veggies, but he could deal with that.
“I’ve never had my own room before, is it… you know near yours? Just in case you need my help with anything?”
Jasmine smiled at Parker over his head. “Yes it is Cody, and we will be right next door whenever you may need us too.”
Cody smiled and stopped in the hallway for a second. He rubbed his right hand off on his worn jeans and offered it to the lady who smiled and the three of them walked towards their future, together.
