Whisper

21

My cellphone ringing woke me.

I picked it up off the night table and looked at the time.

It was 7 am. Christmas Eve.

.

I got out of bed as I answered it.

"Hello."

.

"Will, me buddy."

.

"Bobby?"

.

Bobby laughed.

"Who else would it be? Hope I didn't wake you."

.

I laughed.

"No, I had to get up to answer the phone, anyway."

I looked over at Sheila, laying in the bed.

She was still sleeping.

.

"Good one," Bobby cracked.

"I know it is early my friend, but I thought you might want to know that she's all done, boy."

.

Now, I was fully awake.

"Are you serious?" I barked, excitedly.

.

"I am, my friend. She's all ready for the furniture and such."

.

Sheila was waking.

"Whose on the phone, my love?"

She sat up in bed.

.

"Bobby. They have the room finished."

.

She smiled.

"That's great my love."

She looked at the time.

"We should get ready. Grab some breakfast and get on the move."

.

I nodded.

"Thank you so much Bobby. We will be there as soon as we can."

.

"Well, we are going to get cleaned up. We haven't stopped much in the last few days.

We don't have to be at my parents until around 3, so we can help you set up the room if you want."

.

"Did the stuff arrive?"

.

Bobby laughed.

"It did, my friend. I don't know how you expect to get all that stuff in the room, but it is all here."

.

Sheila walked by and kissed me.

"I am showering. Care to join me?"

.

Bobby laughed.

"Go. We will meet you here, when you get home."

.

"Thanks Bobby. We won't be that long."

.

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do," Bobby joked.
