Mary Kendall, A Ghost Story
Something Good
Jamie is still reading when Lia returns home from hunting. She scurries into the house, meowing loudly for help. He hurries to find what is wrong and sees the fleas jumping about on Lia and takes her right upstairs for a bath. Jamie is soaked and has a few scratches once he is done, but Lia is rid of the fleas. He takes another shower and gets ready for the party. The invitation says it is a pool party.
I didn't know they have a pool. It will be freezing. This must be a joke or some sort of Hidden Springs test. He showers and puts his bathing suit on under his warm clothing.

Jamie places several calls to help get the wedding set up confirming deliveries and arranging to use the park for the wedding. He then calls the oracle explaining about Mary's situation. The oracle is intrigued hearing Mary’s story. "I've never heard of such a thing. I would be interested to meet Mary and Damien and examine their souls and speak to the Fates. You do know there is a price to pay Jamison?"
"Yes, Layla I know. I know.” Jamie tells her as he rolls his eyes and groans. “What is your price this time?"
"I will inform you when I get there. I should be there in two days, maybe three. Be ready."

Jamie blanches as she hangs up on him. She could demand anything from my first born child to my mortal soul.

Jamie greets Nicholas when he arrives at the party. He entertains him with a funny story about riding his motorcycle over the gorge on his way to Hidden Springs.
"I'm amazed you survived. You must have some great riding skills on your motorcycle."
Nicholas reminds everyone to change into their swimsuits.

Jamie changes and spots Bekka across the room looking incredibly beautiful and alluring in her swimsuit. He turns to go across the room and is stopped by Nicholas before he can get any closer to her.

Jamie convinces Nicholas to prepare a salad for the guests and hurries over to Rebecca, but gets intercepted by Liam. He listens to Liam who is briefing him about the recent tests that he has made on Mary's ectoplasm. He doesn't understand the technical jargon, but the bottom line is Mary is unique and they already knew that. The results confirm the previous tests. He thanks Liam for the information and walks with him to the kitchen where the others are chatting.

He finally makes it over to Rebecca where she is chatting with Cassidy. He says hello and asks about the pool party in winter.
“Oh, we don’t have a pool.” Cassidy replies. "It’s a fun challenge to see how many will actually go outside and skate on the pond in their swimsuit. The longest time last winter was 23 minutes. Nicholas will announce the challenge shortly."
Bekka grins at Jamie. “Are you ready for the challenge?”
"Absolutely! Are you my competition?"
"I'm going to give it my best shot. I didn't participate last year." A shadow crosses her eyes as she remembers why.
Jamie watches her expressive face and wants to hold her and kiss the shadows out of her eyes. Instead, he makes her laugh telling her and Cassidy about Damien challenging him to build a snowman in just his towel for running around in the house in his towel in front of Mary and the other female ghosts. "I not only built the snowman but made angels too! I didn't know it but I was practicing for this event."
The girls laughed as he expected they would and he was happy to see Bekka's eyes light up and the shadow disappear.

Nicholas announces the challenge to skate on the pond is ready to start. Most of the guests hurry outside and begin skating and Nickolas starts timing. One by one they drop out and rush back inside shivering until Jamie and Bekka are the only two contenders left. Nicholas calls time at 30 minutes and they are co-winners. Their reward, fresh apple pie. Nickolas congratulates the both of them for managing to stay out longer than any of the others.

They enjoy their apple pie and Jamie invites Bekka to go with him to the tavern. “Damien and Mary are over there. They said it is a slow night and practically have the place to themselves. Would you like to go with me?”
“I’d love to go with you.”
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50799636677_a8f4959fbe_o.jpg
Jamie and Bekka arrive and watch Mary and Damien play foosball. Mary is enjoying the game and despite her enthusiasm for it Damien handily beats her at it game after game. “I definitely need to practice this more.”
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50799636637_4b10e825bf_o.jpg
Bekka and Jamie play pool and it is a close game, but Jamie wins. They laugh and cut up like lifelong friends as they tease each other about making or missing shots. Bekka feels comfortable with Jamie and realizes it is because he himself is such an easy going guy. He doesn’t impose any pressure on her and seems to enjoy being with her. She is delighted to spend time with him, getting to know him better.

They join Damien and Mary at one of the booths and Mary tells Bekka about the wedding tomorrow.
“Congratulations to both of you! That is very exciting news.”
“If you’d like to come, it will be at one pm at the little pond.”
“I’d love to come. I look forward to it. Is there anything I can do to help?" She volunteers her services.
“I can’t think of anything, but thank you for offering.”
They enjoy the rest of the evening until last call is announced and then go there separate ways.

Jamie follows Bekka as she rides home. He pulls up in the driveway as she climbs off her bike. He tells her how much he enjoyed the party with her company and again at the tavern. Jamie holds Bekka's hand as he walks her up the steps. With his thumb he unconsciously caresses her palm as he tells her he wants to spend more time with her if she will let him.
Bekka's hand feels tingly from his touch and the butterflies in her stomach are beating their wings in time with her heart. Jamie makes her feel things she never has before. It scares her, yet when she looks in his eyes and sees only his hope that she will say yes, she finds herself unable to tell him no.
"I would like that as well."
Jamie explains. "I will be busy in the morning doing whatever Damien and Mary need done. I know you said you would come to the wedding. Will you go out with me after the wedding? I’m going to stay at the local hotel for a couple of days to give them some privacy. Damien considered taking Mary to the resort here in town, but was afraid the Fates might get upset with her being away from the house for a couple of days."
She nods her head yes. "I would love to go out with you afterwards. That is really sweet of you to give them time alone in the house for a couple of days."
"They definitely cannot go on a honeymoon out of town which is a shame. The other ghosts will still be there, but I’ve asked them to stay out of the main house for a couple of days and hangout in the basement below the garage. They promised they would if I take them back to the festival one more time. You can join us for that trip to the festival if you like. They had fun the last time and only scared a few of the townspeople."
"That does sound like fun!" Bekka laughs with enjoyment. "Jamie, you really are a special guy. Not many guys would do what you are doing for your friend and for the ghosts too."
Jamie shrugs his shoulders. "It's no biggie. Damien would do it for me in a heartbeat. I will see you tomorrow at the wedding. It is not a formal affair since it is outdoors and will probably be snowing. Just a few people are coming for the ceremony."
Jamie hugs her to him as he breathes in her intoxicating scent. He closes his eyes briefly wanting to remember this moment. He lets her go and she enters the house locking the door behind her. He sits on his ride for a few moments not ready to leave wishing he still had her in his arms. He knows he can't rush her but he feels she is starting to relax around him. He knows it will take her a while to trust him. Her ex did quite a number on her and that won't be an easy hurdle for him. He puts his helmet on thinking about his Bekka and a future with her as he rides home.
