13. Lassoes and Lollipops...

The tent went up just before eleven and the men began to take breaks from the hot morning sun. All four sides of the barn were up and sweaty bodies wandered into to the tent for ice cold cups of unsweetened tea and too sweet lemonade. Cookies and baked goods were on the table when Molly herself came over to speak with Pecola.

“Mrs. Johnson,” she said timidly.

“Please, call me Pecola,” she told Molly.

“That is an unusual name,” she said to break the ice.

“It is a literary character,” she said trying to gauge Molly. It was an odd predicament to be in, but this new life was also odd. It was also odd that Chad Johnson had shown up to lend a hand at the barn raising as well. However, that peculiar kettle of fish was something Billy Joe was keeping his eye on; Pecola had hers on Molly.

“You mean like from a book or something?” Molly wanted to know.

“Yes, a pretty famous one by Toni Morrison,” Pecola answered and waited.

She waited some more.

She watched the strawberry blond stare at her, trying to rationalize something in her head. Finally, what she wanted to say came out of her mouth. It did not surprise Pecola in the least, but it surprised Molly.

“Is that a black writer and a black book?” Molly said, throwing her hand over her mouth. “Oh, dear God. I sound like some backwoods hick showing my ignorance.”

“It is a logical question, and actually, you are correct,” she said with a smile. Billy Joe had wandered into the tent, looking about for her. “Excuse me, Molly, I need to get that man of mine something to whet that whistle of his,” she said as she sidestepped the woman.

Molly touched her arm. “What do you call him in public?” She asked.

Pecola’s brows were furrowed. “In public?”

“Yeah, if you call him William for your sexy time, what do you call him in public?” She truly wanted to know.

“I call him the same thing you and everyone else does, I call him Billy Joe,” she told her as she turned to walk away.

Avery was quickly at her side. “You know three people have called him William already?”

“Oh yeah?”

“He is not happy,” she told her.

“I will take care of that,” she said with a smile. Lemonade in hand, she marched up to him, handing her hunky hubby first the cup, then a kiss.

“Why are people calling me William?” was the first thing out of his mouth after kissing his new bride.

“Because Joanna is still in lust with you and I can’t wait until she tries to use that name on you so you can squash her like a bug,” she said with no expression on her face.

“Ruthless, aren’t you?” he said to her.

“When it comes to other bees flying around my man, you damn straight,” she told him.

“Your man?” He asked with an amused smirk on his handsome face.

“My man!” she said with a nod of her head. Billy Joe showed off more of those beautiful teeth.
