Let My Love Open the Door to Your Heart

I'm at work when Ken came in. I smile at him as I take him to the shampoo area.

"Just a trim?" I ask.
"Yeah."

I wash his hair and take him to the chair and start cutting his hair.

"You're taking a half day today right?" He asks.
"Yes," I said.
"Are you picking Mike up?"
"The teacher will call me if it seems like he needs it or not."
"If he doesn't need it want to come with me to get the Tattoo?"
"Where is it?"
"I'm going to the HH in Orlando."
"That sounds great."

He moves his head making me hit him lighting.

"Stop it," I told him.
"What are you planning?" he asks.
"There is a Cinnabon close to that."
"You bee there?"
"When Mike had his surgery Ryan found it and we went there for an hour. They don't like Hospitals."
"Do you like hospitals?"
"They don't bug me like most people "
"That's interesting."

I nod my head and he smiles at me.

"You are going to go there aren't you?" He asks.
"Yes. They are great."
"I see where Mike might have gotten his thoughts about cookies."

I rolled my eyes and finish his hair.

"How much longer do you have?" Ken asks.
"Thirty minutes."
"Have you ever had Jimmy Johns?"
"What's that?"
"It's a new sponsor."
"Is it food?"
"Yes."
"Take it you want to try it out?"
"Yeah it's fast and won't fill you up."

I nod my head and smile at him.

"I figure when I'm done and you have Mike then we can go get dinner for your birthday," Ken said.
"You already got me a present."
"I know."

I nod my head and Ken smiles at me.

"I got you an other one tonight."

I rolled my eyes and he smiles at me then walk to the front. I clean my station before I get the other client that was spouse to come in. I finish his hair before checking out and walking to my car and see Mike's teacher said he's doing great and doesn't need to be picked up. I smile and drive to the address Ken text me. I park next to Ken. I get out and see Ken waiting at his truck. He kisses my head and takes me in. We order our food then sit down.

"So it's a Sandwich shop?" I ask.
"Yep," He said.
"Is it Organic?"

He looks at me and smiles at me.

"You are never going to let that down are you?" He asks.
"You just threw it out there," I said.
"I think that is a very important thing about that place."
"Only to a few people think that is important."
"It is important to Ryan too."

I laugh and shake my head at him. He smiles at me and kiss my lips. I smile at him.

"You didn't have any plans for your birthday did you?" He asks.
"No. Jade called me and told me happy birthday. Blake did it but he was an ass about that."
"Why?"
"He called me at Midnight. And didn't like that I just hang up on him after he said Happy birthday."

Ken kisses the top of my forehead.

"He's your annoying brother right?" Ken said.
"Yeah, he is. I just don't always remember it."

He laughs then kisses my forehead seeing me pout.

"What did you get me?" I ask.
"It's a present. You have to open it."
"Where is it?"
"I give you it after dinner."

I pout at him. He smiles at me then get up. I get up and fallow him to the Tattoo shop. He takes me to the shop before I could get Cinnabon making me pout at him. One of the workers came and leads us to his station. The talk about the tattoo while I start texting Lindsey, and I pout when ever Ken looks at me. He kisses my head when they are done.

"You need 15 minutes right?" Ken asks.
"Yeah."
"We will be back."
"Got it."

I get up and take Ken to Cinnabon.

"How much of your decision to come was to get this?" Ken asks.
"3/4," I said.

He looks at me. I kiss his lips. He smiles at me.

"Dose this place mean anything?" He asks.
"Cinnamon rolls has always been my favorite treat," I said hoping to drop it.
"I was at the hospital already when Ryan told me that to get you a Cinnamon bun when Mike got his tonsils out."
"My grandpa would always take me before a race to get one. It was mainly the only time I got time alone with him. Jade took me here when he knew I needed time away from my mom and dad. Ryan knows that it makes me feel better."

Ken kisses my forehead.

"You have food for brother bonding time and each brother got different food," Ken said.
"I guess I do."

I kiss his lips. He smiles at me. I order just one center of the roll and a drink. We walk back talking while I eat. We go and sit down again.

"Made your girl happy?" He asks Ken.
"Yeah. She came for the food not me."

The guy laughs. He starts doing his job. I move so I'm closer to Ken before start texting Mathilde while looking at Ken making sure he got his smile.

"You mention that Blake and Jade called you, has Ryan?" He asks.
"No, he text me when I got to work. He will call me when Mike is down," I said.
"OK."

I laugh and kiss his nose. My phone rings making me look and see it's Adam's Sister telling me happy birthday from her and her mom. I smile and start texting her and Mathilde.

"Bells," he said.
"Yeah?" I ask.
"Take a picture please?"

I grab his phone and get up and take a picture of them then show Ken.

"Thanks," he said.
"No problem."

He smiles at me. I look at the time and see I got to go to get Mike.

"I got to go," I said.
"Pick up Mike?" He asks.
"Yeah."

I kiss his lips. He smiles at me then wave. I go and pick Mike up on time then drive home. I grab my phone and see Ken said about an hour ago he's coming so I got half an hour while I go to the kitchen.

"Thirsty?" I ask Mike.
"Yeah mommy."

I get us each a cup of water. I pick him up and kiss his head.

"Ken is going to come over," I said.
"Stay for dinner too?"
"Yes. We are going to go out to eat."
"Where?"
"Don't know."
"Should be McDonald's."
"I don't think so."

He smiles at me. My phone rings so I grab it and see it's my Mom.

"Hey," I said.
"Hey Jezebel. Happy birthday," she said.
"Hey mom. Thanks."
"How is Mike?"
"He's good."
"That's good. Are you going to stay here or at Blake's?"
"Actually we are going to stay at a hotel."
"Why?"
"Because we are mom."
"Lindsey informed us that Ken is coming?"
"Yeah, I figure that you and dad need to meet him as my boyfriend before the season starts."
"So at your brother's wedding?"
"No before it. Mike and me are going to come in on the Monday and leave on Monday." I said.
"And Ken?"
"He got the last plane on the Wednesday. He is going back first thing Sunday."
"That's good. Give us some alone time with you and Mike."
"Yes Mom."
"What are you doing for your birthday?"
"Going out with Ken and Mike for dinner."
"Are you getting ready?"
"Yeah we are heading out in ten minutes."
"OK. Have fun."
"Thanks mom. Bye."
"Your dad wants to talk to you."
"OK."

There is a knock on the door. I go over and see its Ken. He smiles at me.

"Mom your phone is yelling," Mike yells.

I run to my phone and pick it up.

"Sorry," I said.
"Happy birthday," my dad said.
"Thanks dad."
"My baby is 19."
"Yeah."

I bit my lips sensing an edge on his voice. Ken came and starts talking to Mike.

"You got a cinnamon roll yet?" He asks.
"Yeah, got it at lunch."
"That's good. Mike's good?"
"Yeah. He's great."
"Good. You good?"
"Yeah, I'm good."
"Happy?"
"Yeah."
"That's good. I love you."
"Love you to dad."
"I let you go eat before Mike gets upset."
"Dad you sure there is nothing else?"
"We have a lot to talk about when you get here."
"OK. Bye daddy."
"Bye princess."

I hang up and sigh. I look over at Ken and Mike. They both smile at me.

"Where do you want to eat?" Ken asks.
"MacDonald's," Mike said.
"How about your mom chooses?"

I smile then kiss his check.

"I don't care," I said thinking about my dad's voice at on the phone.
"What do you want?" Ken asks.

I shrugged my shoulders not wanting to be picky knowing he won't let me pay since he never let's me pay when we go out together.

"She likes Pwawns," Mike said.

Ken looks at him and smiles.

"Your right she dose. Let's find a place that servers those," Ken said.

He gets on his phone and start looking.

"Pick a place good for you," I told him.
"I call the place."

I nod my head and see he is in a nice button up and black jeans. I get Mike and carry him upstairs and go to his room. I grab his nice pants and button up. I get those on him.

"OK go down to Ken. I’m going to do my makeup," I told Mike.
"OK mommy."

I kiss his forehead. I go to my room and get in a dress then fix my makeup and hair. I go down stairs and see Ken talking to Mike putting his shoes on.

"You don't ride with uncle Wyan no more?" Mike asks.
"Yeah. I ride a ssuskie," Ken said.
"Why?"
"I couldn't work with the team anymore."
"Uncle wyan?"
"Not him, not Marvin, or Jade. The other people who you don't know."
"Who is on the team with you?"
"Ricky owns the team. My team mate is Broc Tickle."
"I don't like him."

I smile as I lean over and kiss Mikes's forehead. Ken stands up and picks Mike up. I go to the closet and get my coat. I walk out and see Ken looking at me.

"You look great," he said.
"Thanks."

We go out to my car and he gets Mike in. We talk about why Mike doesn't like Broc Tickle which boils down to Mike thinks his last name is fake and a bad first name. We go inside and the host looks at Mike then Ken.

"Sorry Sir but kids of his age are not allowed," the host said.
"I called and said I was bringing a tollder."
"Must have gotten a new person."

Ken picks Mike up and starts walking to the door.

"Will you be back?" He asks.
"No, I'm going to a place that will let me have a kid at the table that has more manners then you," Ken said.

I smile as I walk out with Ken.

"There is always Red Lobster," I said.
"Yeah. Maybe."

I kiss his cheek and he smiles. I grab my phone and find a seafood restaurant. I told Ken how to get to it. We go inside and the hostess smiles at us.

"What can I do for you?" She asks.
"Table for three," Ken said.
"Got it. Does he need a high chair or a booster?"
"He might be able to do either," I said.
"Ok. I will go set the table up with both. Give me few minutes."
"Thank you."

We sit down and Ken hands me Mike.

"Can I get prawns?" Mike asks.
"Most likely," I said.
"Good."

Ken sits down and next to me. I look at him and kiss his lips lightly.

"Thank you for handling that,” I told him.

He nods his head then looks at Mike.

"You oK?" Ken asks.
"My dad seemed wired."
"Is that a bad thing?"
"I don't know."

The girl came up and led us to a table.

"Here you guys go," she said.
"Thanks."

She smiles at us. We have a nice dinner with the three of us before Ken drives to my house. I get Mike out and carry him upstairs. I take his clothes off and put his pj's on with little help from Mike who is fighting to stay awake.

"Love you babe," I said as I tuck him in.
"Love you mommy."

I smile and kiss his head. I walk down stairs and see Ken on the couch. I go over and sit down next to him.

"Thank you for dinner," I said.
"No problem. You want your present?" He asks.
"Fine."

He laughs and hands me a box. I open it and see it's a travel coffee cup with a quote from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the galaxy. I smile and hug Ken.

"Thank you. I love it." I said.
"There more."

I look at him and see there is another cup with the sperm whale and some of it's quote. He turns it around and I see the rest of it.

"Aw I love it," I said.
"Thanks."

I kiss his lips before sitting the cups down. My phone rings. I grab it and see it is Ryan.

"Hey Ryan," I said.
"Hey. Happy birthday," Ryan said.
"Thanks. Is dad OK?"
"Yeah. He really wants to make things better with you."
"Oh OK."
"What did you do today?"
"Went out to dinner with Mike and Ken."
"Had fun?"
"Yeah it's a good birthday."
"What did he get you?"
"Coffee cups. They have lines from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Some of my favorite lines."
"That's good. He's still there?"
"Yeah."
"I call you tow row and talk more."
"OK bye Ryan."
"Bye Jezebel."

I hang up and smile at Ken.

"Told you," I said.
"Yes you did. Why haven't you worn anything like this before?"
"Ryan would flip if he saw me in this. Over protective big brother that he is."
"You look really good in it."

I laugh and kiss his lips.

"Can we watch the movie?" I asks.
"Yes."

I smile and put Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy in the sit down next to Ken and cuddle up to him.
