The Evil in Kansas
• Part 5
• Spring came along, the only time in Kansas where the season was actually pretty. After winter, with it's iced over, dead tree branches, and day after day of gray skies, finally spring would come. It was a welcome change
• With it came spring break for the kids and this year something else new was coming. Keith my online boyfriend was going to come for two weeks. This would be our first time meeting in person. We never had even shared current pictures of each other! So along with their excitement for being out of school for a week and meeting Keith, I was extremely excited too.
• When I got my tax refund I managed to score some pretty cheap tickets to Arizona and we would fly back for a couple days for him to meet my family and friends that I'd left behind in Phoenix. So we had a lot of fun stuff to look forward to.
• My boss Allen, at The Branding Iron 2, had given me a week off so that this could be accomplished. I'd saved every penny and dime for spending money along the way but it wasn't much after paying the bills.
• The trip had gone well, the only hiccup had been the morning of our flight to Arizona we'd almost missed it due to the fact Keith and I had gotten severely drunk the night before. Fortunately Id had adjoining rooms for me and the kids. Becky, who had driven us (due to my car, “Jim Bob", only wanting to run when he wanted to!), had kept an eye on them for me.
• We returned back to Phillipsburg around 2am and I don't think Keith was expecting the house that he saw. Where I thought it was old country and charming, I'm sure he thought it was run down and elapadated.
• We unloaded all of our crap out of Becky's car outside my back porch and into the house we went. Keith said nothing if he was surprised in the appearance of it. Maybe he thought it was charming too. I never knew.
• He offered to take his suitcase upstairs to the master bedroom, once we were settled.
• The kids and I exchanged glances. If we slept up there, it would be the first time for any of us.
• "Nobody sleeps upstairs", Ian told him. I had occasionally but it was only when I was drinking and passed out.
• "Why not?” he asked, looking at me with his brows raised. That ticked me off, as I'd told him of most of the occurrences, and the kids fear of being alone in their rooms. He knew damned well why.
• "Our house has ghosts in it", Ivy chimed. Keith chuckled about it and said, "Oh there's nothing wrong with being upstairs, I'm sure! You guys are just fooling me!”, he laughed.
• I had told him several times about incidents in the house where hed seemed to actually believe me and have sympathy for me. Maybe now I was seeing a...
