Chapter Ten

“What do you want to do tomorrow,” Irish asked, tilting his head to the side, smiling handsomely.

“I’m not sure, but I could really use a shower right now,” and I grinned at him. I was trying to reference our shower in San Francisco, but he didn’t give me the right response.

Looking serious he said, “No really, Jurnee, what do you want to do tomorrow? It’s your birthday.”

Tomorrow was Tuesday, June 10th? I stared at him trying to account for the last several days. He was right…tomorrow was my birthday. I sat back in my chair, pulling a cigarette from my pack. Irish stood up and fished his lighter from his pants. We smiled at each other, remembering our first day out here on the patio.

“Well, I don’t really know,” I said. “Don’t you have to work?”

He sat back down after he lit my cigarette and leaned all the way back in his chair. “We could get up early, go downtown, get licenses, drive to Vegas, and get married,” he said grinning.

I shook my head. “You’re crazy, but you know that already, right?” I stared at the sky, trying to separate myself from his piercing stare and that silly grin.

“I think your mom would be a little upset if we did that Irish, don’t you agree?” He didn’t answer. I looked and he was holding up his phone, scrolling through numbers.

He looked at me. “I could ask her,” and he flipped his phone open.

I felt my eyebrows pinch together and my mouth fly open. “You’d better not, Irish,” and I sat straight up in my chair.

He stood up. I could hear it ringing. I took a deep breath hoping that he was messing with me. With his back to me I heard him say, “Hey Mom,” and he turned around and smiled at me. I froze. He wouldn’t tell his mom something like that over the phone, I assured myself. I felt the heat rising in my body.

Irish looked away from me and continued talking. “I wanted to call you first, and give you some good news.” He looked into the sky. “Remember I told you all about Jurnee?” and he began rocking back and forth, still looking at the sky. “Yeah, John’s sister,” he said. “Well she asked me to marry her.” My mouth fell open. I didn’t even feel myself stand up. “Yes, I know, it surprised me too,” he said, looking at the ground. “Well, I said yes, Mom, and we were thinking about going to Vegas tomorrow.” He turned and looked at me with a serious expression.

I have no idea what my face looked like. I was speechless. “I know that she is, Mom, I’d bet my heart on it.” We stared at each other.

“No, we’d come straight home tomorrow night; Dad mentioned I have to get up to San Francisco and sign papers on the house. This will be a quick trip” and he winked at me, smiling. What the hell was he doing? I was silently screaming inside.
