Chapter 21 Little Deer

• I couldn’t sleep. After dropping Sera off I had headed straight for home. The flight from south Dakota to Oklahoma was brutal, and by the time we touched down in Tulsa I was ready to kiss the earth. I hated flying all most as much as I hated Kay right now. It’s crazy how love balances on that knife thin edge between feelings. Love or Hate. Two sides to the same coin. I shook my head as I walked onto the dark grey asphalt. I needed to clear my head of her so that I can use this time to fix things. When she comes home I want her to see how far I am willing to go for her. Far enough to cut off my parents and allow her to spend half a year with her lover. The latter was already in motion and now I needed to focus on my parents. It was time to set some boundaries and give them an ultimatum. I want Kay to stay in my life forever. I would be damned if they made me choose them over her. It would always be her.
• I strolled over to the valet and picked up my familiar black Mercedes. The dealer I had gotten my rental from in Dallas had only had one in a dull brown color. It had sufficed but nothing compared to the beauty of mine in its jet-black glory. I tossed the valet a $100 tip and climbed in. The leather interior made the whole car smell of cedar, and I could just barely make out the light smell of vanilla hanging in the air. I put the key in the ignition and brought the car to life. It purred as I rolled out of the garage and onto the highway. It would be a short drive to my parents house from here.
• “Call mom.” I commanded into the silence.
