SILENT NIGHT

ANOTHER DAY WAS OVER AND CAME A NEW DAY.  THE FOLLOWING DAY WE COMPLETED THE WORK IN THE FIELD AND CLEANED UP HOME. TEES BROTHER HAD SOME ERRANDS TO RAN, SO IT WAS JUST TEE AND I. NIGHT CAME PRETTY FAST. SINCE AT TEES HOME THERE WAS NO ELECTRICITY HE TOLD ME TO ACCOMPANY HIM TO KATES HOME SO THAT I WOULD CHARGE MY LAPTOP THERE. I REALLY DID NOT WANT TO MEET THIS KATE BUT I WAS ALSO CURIOUS SO WE WENT.
THEY HAD A PRETTY NICE HOME, WELL TAKEN CARE OF. WE MET KATE JUST OUTSIDE THE COMPOUND AND SHE WAS PREGNANT, TEE INTRODUCED ME AS HIS COUSIN AND I SAID HI TO HER SHE MADE A JOKE THAT TEE WAS THE FATHER OF HER CHILD AND HE RAN AWAY ONCE HE FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS PREGNANT. EVERYONE LAUGHED APART FROM ME. I DIDNT FIND IT FUNNY AND I HATED HER AT FIRST SIGHT. SHE WAS SO JUMPY AND TALKATIVE, I FOUND HER UNBEARABLE. SO TEE WENT AHEAD TO CHARGE THE LAPTOP SINCE HE KNEW HIS WAY AROUND THE HOUSE AND HE WAS WELCOME ANYTIME.
HE HAD PROMISED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE A GOOD TIME, BECAUSE GRANDPA WAS AROUND AND HE GAVE THE BEST STORIES, ABOUT THE PAST. I LOVED OLD PEOPLES STORIES. I WAS NO LONGER IN THE MOOD ONCE WE GOT THERE. MY MOODS JUST SHIFTED AND I STAYED SILENT, THE WHOLE TIME WE SPENT THERE, LIKE I LITERALLY DID NOT UTTER A SINGLE WORD NOT EVEN A SMILE OR A LAUGH. AND WE WERE THERE FOR ONE AND A HALF HOURS. EVERYONE CHATTED AWAY AND THEY WERE ALL LAUGHING, FROM MY OBSERVATIONS THEY REALLY LIKED TEE, BUT I WAS NOT SURPRISED, EVERYONE LIKED HIM, HE WAS A FRIENDLY PERSON. TEE TRIED TO MAKE ME TALK BY SUBTLE CONVERSATION, I HAD TO ANSWER WHERE I AM FROM AND HOW TEE AND I WERE RELATED. BUT APART FROM THAT, I DID NOT TALK. GRANDPA TRIED MAKING A CONVERSATION WITH ME BUT I COULD NOT HAVE IT SO HE SOON  JUST GAVE UP.
IT WAS TIME FOR US TO GO, WE BID THEM GOODBYE AND LEFT, THE AIR HAD A CALMNESS TO IT, THE STARS WERE BRIGHT AND IT WAS A BEAUTIFULL SILENT NIGHT.
"BABE ARE YOU OKAY?" TEE ASKED ME
"YES AM OKAY" I KNEW HE WOULD ASK THAT BECAUSE OF HOW SILENT I WAS
"ARE YOU SURE BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN SO QUIET EVER SINCE WE GOT TO KATES PLACE"
"BABE I'M JUST QUIET THERE IS NOTHING WRONG REALLY" I KNEW HE WAS NOT GOING TO GIVE UP SOON
"I KNOW YOU DONT LIKE THEM BUT THAT IS JUST WHO THEY ARE, TRY AND BEAR WITH THEM."
"IT'S OKAY I UNDERSTAND AND I HATE THAT KATE" HE SMILED
"I KNEW IT"
"DID YOU WANT ME TO LOVE HER?"
"I WOULD HAVE BEEN HURT IF YOU LIKED HER"
SO WE LAUGHED
"BABE CAN WE NOW STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS, ITS A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT, THE STARS ARE SHINING, THE MOON IS OUT, WE ARE IN THE COUNTRY, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS," I TOLD HIM, HE PULLED ME CLOSER TO HIM AND TOLD ME
"NO, I DONT, WHY DONT YOU TELL ME"
SO I KISSED HIM AND WE KISSED FOR A WHILE
"NOW WE HAVE TO GET BACK HOME IT'S LATE," I TOLD HIM AFTER PULLING MYSELF AWAY
"SERIOUSLY, YOU JUST SAID ITS A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT, WHY CAN'T WE STAY HERE A LITTLE BIT LONGER?"
"WE WOULD IF THERE WAS A BED," I TOLD HIM
"WELL THERE IS A TREE THAT SHOULD COUNT FOR SOMETHING" HAHAHA VERY FUNNY, WE LAUGHED AND WALKED BACK HOME. IT WAS A SILENT NIGHT.
