Mr. Man
Welcome back and it’s good to see ya.
I hope all y’all slept as well as Curtis and Carol did last night.
If I remember correctly, Carol had offered to meet Curtis at the Java Hut
And I think she said something about six, six-thirty.
It’s about that time now, so let’s take a look.
Yes friends … there they are.
It’s just a little past six and it looks like they are both on track.

Curtis saw Carol first, and his heart might have skipped a beat,
but he was quick to remind himself of some words he spoke the night before.
They were kind of simple, but to the point.
*** Settle down and don’t it up ***
You could say Carol was trying to remind herself of something as well.
She glanced down and let out a light laugh as they drew closer.
If anyone had been watching, they could tell those two were happy …
But I seriously doubt they would have guessed what Carol was thinking.
*** Good Lord girl, if he says your name,
Don't start taking your clothes off in the middle of town ***

Well it wasn’t that long and those two had made it
right up close and cozy with each other.
They were both just smiling and honestly glad to see each other.
I’m not too sure they were completely aware of where they were standing at that point.
But two young people in love ... You can’t do nothing with ‘em.
Curtis
"Good morning Carol Anne,
You look great …
Did you sleep well?”
Oops … There it is!
Y’all may want to look away, because he said her name,
And I don’t know if she is going to start with her shoes.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50251915248_878a5d9e2c_k.jpg
Aww … That ain’t that bad.
I think it’s kind of cute.
Believe it or not Carol was the first one to recognize
the fact that they might be in danger of impeding traffic or worse.
Carol
”Whew … Good Morning Mr. Man.
Haha … Are we really standing in the middle of the road?”
Curtis
”Yeah, it kind of looks like we are,
But that was nice I would stand here all day for more if needs be.
You worried about anything?”
Carol
”Well maybe …
I’m not, exactly sure when they started counting,
But Astrid has money on 68 hours …
And I’m not planning on buying her a new pair of shoes on a technicality.
We probably need to get out of the street anyway.
Let’s go to the Hut.”

Just when things were starting to look kind of sweet and peachy,
Carol turned and headed for the curb.
Curtis on the other hand, caught a whiff of that dang shampoo.
Bad timing one could say.
He froze, and a dark cloud of doubt threatened to press its way in.
Carol made it the curb and noticed Curtis wasn’t with her.
She turned and could tell he was thinking about something,
almost like he wasn’t even there.
She got nervous for a second, not understanding exactly what was going on.
but then in a sweet steady voice, she threw Curtis a line.
Carol
”Are you just going to stand there all day,
Or are you just enjoying the view.”
Somehow it worked.
Curtis shook it off, and moved to catch up with her.
Curtis
”I got to say … It’s a nice view.
You take good care of yourself, and it shows.”
But friends, what Curtis was really thinking,
might just have been a tad bit more important.
The sound of her voice had made a break in the clouds.
and at that point Curtis noticed something.
He and Susan had been together, but not like Carol.
And Susan was with Curtis because as part of the Challenge,
She had to be with him.
Carol was there …
Because she wanted to be with Curtis.

They did actually make it to the Java Hut.
Marcy was working the counter that morning
and they did get a little something to drink.
The meet-up at the Java Hut had really just been Carol’s idea to put the two of them together.
It was early on a Tuesday, and dead as a doornail.
They talked to Marcy as they drank, but decided
they might as well head back towards Carol’s house when they were done.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50251914658_17bebbd75e_k.jpg
They ran into Peter Winterly outside the Corporate Headquarters,
But he was running short on the clock and couldn’t chat long.
Carol made sure to ask him to do her a favor.
Carol
”When you talk to Adele,
Please tell her I am doing okay, and I am having a good time.
She’ll know what it means … And Thanks.”
Peter
”Glad to do that for you Carol.
I’m also glad y’all seem to be having a good time.
Don’t be surprised if both of you get an invite to dinner sometime,
but right now, I have got to go.
Y’all have a great day.”
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50252572481_0ffd7f341f_k.jpg
It wasn't long after that and they were back at Carol’s house.
Curtis wanted to stick around but didn’t know if he should.
Carol on the other hand wasn’t having it any other way,
and it wasn’t long until they wandered on around back.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50251913888_3db0266ea4_k.jpg
They chit-chatted like they had the first night they met for a long time.
At one point in the afternoon …
Well past lunch and neither one of them thinking about eating,
Carol asked Curtis about his plans.
Carol
”Now that the book tour is over, and I assume all that mess is behind you,
Have you thought about what you want to do?
I mean are you going to try to write some books …
Romance novels, you were good at it?”
Curtis
”Well, don’t be getting your hopes up.
Those romance novels were fairytales, and not the real deal.
No … I am done writing for a while.
Thinking about finding something to do outside.”
Carol
”You know … I was talking to Mayor Vanderburg the other day.
And it seems like BlackSand Industries is putting
Meadow Beach up for sale.
I also have been up to Redwood Lookout,
and saw what you and Susan did with the place.
Would you be interested in maybe doing the same type job at Meadow Beach?”
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50252571831_254b237c2e_k.jpg
Curtis
”Look, I’m gonna have to give credit where it's due.
I was more grunt labor on that project,
and Susan handled most of the design.
She also dealt with the contractors when it came to stuff we couldn’t do ourselves.”
Carol
”You’re a good man Curtis and giving credit is appreciated I am sure,
But I’ve seen your place too, and that certainly doesn’t have anything to do with Susan.
You need to take a little credit yourself sometimes.
You don’t have to overdo it, but you do good work.”
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50252571621_086615de8c_k.jpg
Curtis
”Wait, whoa … You have been by my house?
When did that happen?”
Carol started giggling,
Which started Curtis laughing.
Carol
”I don’t know, maybe I am like any woman,
or any resident of Hidden Springs for that matter,
and just nosy.
Oh that’s too easy and I am not going to start lying to you.
I have to admit I kind of thought about stealing the bills out of your mailbox
in hopes someone would come repossess your motorcycle.”
Y’all are gonna have to give me a minute to stop laughing,
and I am pretty sure Carol Anne and Curtis need it as well.
Curtis
”Dang girl …
You are bad, and I thought I was.”
Carol
” Oh no Curtis, I am sweet like an angel,
And you can ask anyone.
It was all that motorcycle’s fault.
It was just evil!”
Curtis
”I know Carol,
and you are kind of special.
I trust you.
Are you really sure you trust me?”
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50252752807_70799075d6_k.jpg
At that point, Carol reached over and pulled him close.
Her cheeks were still a bit blushed from laughing,
and they were both breathing a little heavy from the fun they had been having.
Carol
”Mr. Man …
You had me on the beach when you first said my name.
You and me, everything else …
It was all going to happen.
Curtis … I may have had my doubts,
I thought I may have messed up.
But I don’t have to trust you now.
I know, and I think you do too.”
Curtis
”Carol Anne … It isn’t something I know
I feel it like nothing else.”
Carol
”If that’s true and what you feel …
Let’s not mess around.
Come live with me …
I mean go home today, pack your ,
and I am not planning on going anywhere,
but will give you a key before you leave.”
Curtis
”You’re serious aren’t you?
In any other circumstance in my life,
I would think that you and I were both bat crazy.
But I don’t even have to think about it.
Things changed for me yesterday.
I made my choice then and it is as simple as that.”
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50252752592_a3e709a05e_k.jpg
Carol eased back just the slightest bit.
Her face was still full of joy but her tone took on
a bit of the no-nonsense roll.
Carol
”There’s just one thing …
I’m not putting a cot in my basement.
If you are coming here, you are sleeping in my bed
and with me … No one else ever!”
Curtis
”I understand, and I can do that.
I’m glad you’ll have me.
Wait ... You have a basement?”
Carol
”Oh yeah … There are a lot of things in
that house you haven’t seen yet.
and a few more things we haven’t done yet.
Come on, I’ll show you around.”
Cutris
”Hey, when you say things I haven’t seen
And things we haven’t done in your basement …
That’s throwing off this serious whips and chains vibe,
and I may be open to some things,
but I ain’t going in there without a safe word.
Nuh-uh … Ain’t happening!”
Again those two started cracking up.
You know … The pair may just turn out to be a fun addition to our story.
I got to say I like them … Anyway back to it.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50252752402_b2a59af65b_k.jpg
Carol
”Nah Curtis … All you really have to do is say my name.
You do it kind of formal like
but with a little warm butter and brown sugar on top.
You got me Mr. Man, now come on.”
Curtis
“Well I can’t say I disagree with your taste in condiments,
and I’m coming …
Carol Anne.”
Well friends … I’m going to give those two a bit of privacy.
I appreciate you hanging in there with us while we managed to get
Curtis Stevens all nestled down in a nice place with a sweet woman.
Don’t fear none, because there’s little fingers leading out everywhere
Even if you ain’t quite seen them yet.
In the meantime … The Thread name is getting changed to
"Curtis and Carol … Update:"
Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate your time.
We'll be back with ya ...
To Be Continued ...
