Chapter 9

The first day of summer was now here and Charlie along with her best friend Lakyn was planning how they would spend every available moment. Gideon was trying his very best to find his happy place and zone them out when Charlotte popped into Charlie’s room.

“Hey, Gideon, Skye wanted to know if we are going to have drills this afternoon.”

Gideon didn’t even look up from his prone position where he was hovering five feet above Charlie’s bed. “How exactly did he ask his question today?”

Charlotte laughed then she cleared her throat and repeated the question in Skye’s current favorite cartoon character.

“Say there, little lady, would you mind, I say, would you mind, asking Gideon if we, that is, if we are going to have drills today, little lady?”

Gideon actually chuckled at Charlotte’s impersonation. “Sheriff Woody?” he guessed.

“Nope! Foghorn Leghorn,” Charlotte corrected as Gideon floated down from the ceiling to stand beside her.

“Oh, that’s right! The big white rooster that’s always picking fights with that dog.”

“That’s the one; so are we having drills or not?”

Gideon nodded his head toward the two girls who were stretched out on Charlie’s bed with notebooks and pencils. “That depends on what they decide to do this afternoon. So far I have heard about a dozen plans for this afternoon alone and don’t get me started on the rest of the summer. I don’t remember her being this obsessed with mapping out her entire summer last year.”

Charlotte grinned and elbowed Gideon in the ribs. “That’s because she is growing up and will become a teenager soon. Teenage girls map out and plan everything down to the smallest detail. You want my advice? Invest in an IPod.”

Gideon frowned down at her. “What’s that? A I what?”

Charlotte laughed at his lost expression. “I was really kidding, but it’s a device that you stick in your ears that plays music.”

He nodded as the girls on the bed squealed in laughter. He could definitely see the appeal in such a thing. The crunch of gravel outside had everyone looking out of the window to see who had arrived. Devon’s truck was sitting in the driveway after the dust had cleared. Charlie jumped up from the bed.

“Devon’s home!” she said with a happy smile. Lakyn followed her downstairs as Devon came through the front door, being greeted by a very happy Sabrina.

“Whoa… Is that your step-dad? He is hot!” Lakyn whispered. Charlie looked at her friend like she had lost her mind.

“Ok, that was just weird and you can never say it again. He isn’t hot; he is just…Devon. I’m sure my mom thinks he is…and…yeah… That was weird, too… Can we change the subject, please?”

Lakyn laughed, but nodded her head. Charlie bounced down the rest of the stairs and beat the twins to their dad by a few steps. He swung her up into his arms, squeezing her tight.

“Hey, Charlie girl! You are getting big! Pretty soon you’re going to be as tall as your mama!” Charlie laughed as he put her down; then he noticed Lakyn.
