From Underneath the Floorboard But first, Coffee
It was no surprise to her that the kitchen was just as grand as the rest of the house. The person that built this house must have enjoyed cooking. Kat never really got the hang of cooking. She could make food obviously but she was more of an expert at take out. She got a cup of coffee pouring and grabbed the keys to go grab the box of pop tarts out of the car.You’re the mother of the dang year Kat. It is a miracle your kids still have teeth and their health. She started up the walk way and saw the curtain on the kitchen window fall back into place.“Well so much for a quiet cup of coffee if that’s Jude.” She took a deep breath and walked up the stairs, skipping every other step.“Sorry, all we’ve got for breakfast this morning is some good ol’ fashion suga

Beep beep. Beep beep. Beep beep. 4am. He always slept through his alarm, or storms, hell a freight train could drive straight through the room and he wouldn’t budge. So the alarm he set was to wake her up so she could in turn wake him up. She use to roll over in the morning naked and wake him up how most men dream of starting their day. But, thing have been different this past year. Who knows maybe he really was having an affair. In any case, that was all history now. I wonder how he would react if I gave him the same kind of wake up this morning. It was still dark out being that it was early morning and fall. Fuck it Kat you are married to this man; you do love him. Take off your damn clothes and go wake up your husband. She dropped her shorts to the ground and pulled off her shirt. She gently clim

“Let’s worry about unpacking the car tomorrow only grab what you need tonight. I made sure the new beds were delivered a couple days ago. The house came with the previous owner’s bedroom furniture. I figured you would want to see it before I tossed them. So we at least have a place to sleep until the movers arrive tomorrow with our stuff. I will grab Jude, you and Ray get inside.” Ray shuffled in the back seat grabbing her overnight bag and flinging Kats into the front seat. “Thank you Ray of sun..” Kat was cut off by Ray jumping out of the back and running up to the front door. She stood at the front door, her hands in her pockets, making slight jumping movements to keep warm. “Ray of sunshine, indeed.” Kat whispered sarcastically. Turning the car off she was met with the bitter cold and ran just as Ray had to the front door. Her hands were instantly cold so she fumbled with the keys and dropped them.

As far as dream locations go, upstate New York was not at the top of Kat’s list. She had always hoped she would find her forever home somewhere warm. Preferably with a coast line of white sand and blue water. But, she was just grateful she would finally be able to call somewhere home. Robert paid the movers and climbed into the passenger seat. He had offered to fly the family as he always did. He had always argued saying, “It is so much easier to fly.” To have the offer quickly denied by Kat. She loved to drive. She found peace in leaving miles in the rearview. She was also a sucker for road side attractions. Robert use to love them too. He would laugh at her need for a t-shirt from every stop. Of course, she needed a shirt from Roswell, New Mexico. No duh, she had to have one with a photo of the biggest ball of yarn.&

Kat must have fallen asleep because she was startled by the same Ahem, from scrawny kid. She stared at him for a minute contemplating telling him to get the hell out of her room. But it wasn’t her room, well not any more. It was one of the many rentals that she had briefly called home over the years. She hung family pictures up with removable hooks verses nails. She got use to painting over walls with primer for the first few moves but, learned quickly it was just easier to leave the walls blank. For such a well-paid Doctor, the family never had a forever home. She had lived in lavish, luxury apartments in Austin, cozy town homes in San Francisco, beach front homes in Florida, a mountain retreat in Colorado. You name it the good Doctor has probably rented it. But, none of them where a place she knew her grandchildren would see. She longed for that for her children one day. &

Some people hated the smell of gasoline not Kat she had always loved the smell. The smell reminded her of Sundays in the garage with her dad working on that old Chevy Cheville. That hot rod would eventually be turned into scrap metal in some no name junk yard. It would be sold for parts, completely gutted by some tweaker looking to make enough to buy a bag of short lived euphoria. That car on the other hand gave Kat and her father something to talk about other than the divorce. They would pump gasoline into that thing once a month to see if any of the tinkering her father had done over the week would somehow bring it back to life. Kats father every weekend would tell her, “Kitten your gonna have the hottest sports car in your senior class, the boys and girls will envy you.” He would throw her the smile that she was sure her mother had fallen in love with. His teeth always looked so white in contrast to
