Magic In The Air Ch 21

“Let’s go. Kids you are going to be late.” Bette yelled from the kitchen. 

“I’m ready.” Will walked out of his bedroom. 

“Callie, Ashley is gonna be here any minute.” Bette yelled again.

“Chill out I’m coming.” Callie ran down the stairs with her book bag on her back and Jack on her hip. 

HONK. HONK.

“See.” Bette said. 

“Mom relax we are not gonna be late.” Callie said. 

“Come on Jack let sissy go to school so Momma T won’t be mad.” Bette reached for him and he went willingly. 

“Come on Jack.” Callie ran out the door. 

“Callie!” Bette called. Callie turned and looked at her. Bette gave her the Mama look. Callie smiled and ran to the car where Ashley was waiting. 

“Finally.” Ashley said teasingly. Will climbed into the back seat of her Porsche SUV. Callie made a face at her. Ashley laughed. 

Callie got in and they pulled off. 

Shane walked into the kitchen yawning.

“Late night?” Bette smiled.

“uh oh Yeah.” Shane sat at the bar. 

“What was her name?” Bette asked. 

“Um I don’t oh wait Megan maybe.” Shane reached for the coffee cup Bette sat in front of her. 

“Can you would pick Will up from school and take him to soccer?” Bette asked. Shane nodded yes. 

“Go beach.” Jack said.

“Not today buddy. We’ve got a lot of stuff to do today.” Bette said. 

“I can take him today if you want.” Shane said. 

“No he’ll be fine at the Gallery with me today. Tina wants you to come by her office at some point this morning.” Bette said. 

***********

“You wanted to see me?” Callie said walking into Tina’s office.

“You wanna tell me why you and Ashley never made it to third period?” Tina asked leaning back in her chair. 

“Do you want to know the truth or do you want an answer that will keep me out of trouble?” Callie said knowing good and well she was in trouble either way. 

Tina looked at Callie wondering if Callie really just asked her that.
