Let My Love Open the Door to Your Heart

I'm watching the first Moto looking up the races knowing Ryan really wants Mike to come to a Race and Mike wants to go to them all. I hear Mike yelp making me look at the TV and see Ryan down. Mike came up and sits on my lap. I hold on to him for the rest of the race.

"Is Uncle Wyan ok?" He asks.
"Yes he is."

I grab my phone and text Lindsay telling her to get Ryan to call me as soon as it's fine. I kiss his forehead.

"You typed him?" He asks.
"Yes I did."

My phone rings and I see its Ryan.

"Hey," I said.
"Everything ok?" He asks.
"How are you?"
"I'm fine Princess."
"Great. Now talk to Mike."
"Ok."

I put it on speaker and hand it to Mike. Mike talks to him for a while making sure Ryan is ok and know he needs to win or at least beat James Stewart. Mike hangs up and hand it to me and watch the end of the 250 race. We watch the second 450 Moto and Mike pouts at me making me smile at him.

"What's wrong?" I ask.
"Woczen cheating," He said.
"Why do you say that?"
"Uncle Wyan better than him. He wins and not Uncle Wyan."

I laugh at him kind of wishing I got that on video. I get up and start making dinner. My phone rings making me look and see its Ken.

"Hey," I said smiling.
"Hey sweetheart," Ken said.
"Good races," I told him.
"Thanks. What you doing?"
"Making dinner."

Mike came and looks at me.

"Uncle Wyan?" He asks.
"No. It's one of my friends."
"Food?"

I nod my head and he runs back to the living room.

"You should come to next week race," Ken said.
"Why?"
"Father's day."

I sigh not wanting to deal with the questions I know I can't avoid much longer.

"You don't want to see your father?" He asks.
"I need to come up with answers that are not really lies about Mike's father."
"That's true."

We talk while I finish up dinner. I go and get Mike to the table and we eat dinner together. I put on X-games that I taped. Mike runs in and starts looking through things. I grab my lap top and figure that I can to go to Tennessee since it's close and might not have to miss work at all if I can get a plane late on Friday. I grab my phone and text Ryan asking him to call me when he's got a few minutes to spare. I start looking at hotel not knowing if staying with Ryan is a good idea because of Mike sleeping habits. My phone rings in a few minutes. I look and see its Ryan. I get up and go to the kitchen.

"Hello," I said.
"Hey what you want to talk about?" Ryan asks.
"I'm thinking coming to Tenseness."
"That sounds great I get you tickets. Want to take the Moto home with me and Lindsay?"
"No. I'm looking at Hotel's."
"Why? You can stay in the motor home with us."
"Ryan I have a 2 year old who doesn't always sleep well. You don't need that before the race."
"You’re staying in the motor home. I don’t want you alone."
"Doesn't dad normal stay in a hotel room?"
"Yeah."
"I stay in the same hotel as him."
"No you won't. You’re staying with me and Lindsay."

I sigh knowing he's not going to let me fight out of this.

"Ok I'm look for flights then."
"Sounds good. Thursday is always open."
"I'm trying to not cancel for work to save those days when Mike is sick."
"Fine. Lindsay will pick you up."
"How are you doing after your race?"
"I'm fine. Ken is doing really well."
"Ok. Want to hear what Mike told me?"
"What?"
"He's cheating."
"Why does he say that?"
"You are better than him and he wins so he is cheating."

Ryan laughs a little making me smile.

"That's cute. Did you get it on video?" Ryan asks.
"No. Wish I did."
"I do to. I want to get him a bike."
"Ryan we been through this."
"We can take him to Ricky's ranch."
"No."
"Jeanie misses you. They not are going to be rude to you. They understand what happen."
"I haven't talked in them so long it's wired."
"I give you her number and so you can talk to her."
"Urg I hate you."
"We got a weekend off. It will be fun."
"He hasn't had his surgery yet."
"Blake rode most of his life without it."
"I know but I'm just worried."
"You are a mom your spouse to."
"Thanks Ryan."
"I want one of your chocolate chip cookies."
"I gave Lindsay the receipt I use and told her how I do it."
"Yeah it's not the same."
"You want me to send you them to California?"
"Yes I want you to send them to me. Maybe the dough and then I can have it fresh."

I hear yelling in the background. I rolled my eyes knowing he's in the haul so he's around Jade and Lindsay most likely.

"Hey," Jade said.
"Hey Jade," I said.
"You should send me cookie dough."
"I don't get it. It's the same stuff that Mom cooks pretty much."
"There is a difference and no one makes cookies like you."
"Thanks Jade."
"No problem come on Ryan gets it all the time. I saw those Kirby cookies you made last week."
"Don't tell Ryan."
"Ok Fine be that way. See you later."
"I'm hanging up."
"Ok Bye Sissy."
"Bye."

I hang up and walk out and get Mike in bed. I go downstairs and grab my computer and find the plane tickets.
