Is It Love, Oh, Could It Be?
Hunter of More than One Thing
I wake up and Beau asks what I want to do. I want to go back to sleep, but I can't say that. It's almost ten when I finally get up. Beau is just a giant ball of energy that never goes away. I tell him I have to go home to let Paisley out. He tells me to give him 10 minutes then we will go to my apartment. I check my phone, but its dead. Beau finally stays, "Let's go." and we get in his car. We get stuck in traffic and I keep turning the radio up. Beau switches in between stations and gets to the country station. "Wait!" I yell when he goes to turn it again, "I like this song." I wait a little and realize its one of my favorites. "Old Alabama" by Brad Paisley and Old Alabama. I sing the rest and all of the other songs. Beau looks impressed by how many songs I know. We finally get to my apartment and I see Paisley almost jump through the window to get to me. I run up to see her and take her out for a walk. I turn my phone on and plug my phone it. When I get back, I have 29 new messages, 23 missed calls, and 17 voicemails. All from Sidney. "He's getting to be kinda clingy." I say to Beau as we walk out the door with Paisley. I get down the stairs and see Hunter again. It's only him this time. "Hunter? Why are you here?" He never comes to visit unless I ask him for help. Hunter looks angry and sad. "Hunter. What's wrong?" He finally turns toward to look at us. "Dude. What is wrong?" But he's avoiding my question. Hunter keeps looking back and forth to me and Beau. "How long has he been here?" He points at Beau. "Oh my god, are you seriously still on this. Just go upstairs to my apartment and sit there until we get back." I have almost forgotten we had Paisley. I hive Hunter the keys and tell him not to break anything or touch anything. He still glares at Beau when he leaves. I don't care if Hunter likes Beau or not, I don't care if Hunter ever likes who I date. We get to the park and Beau seems a little afraid. "I don't like the way he looks at me. It scares me, but there's something about it. I don't know." So far, Beau is my choice between him and Said.
