It was just another hot weekend, the winds just didn't help much and when it's that hot out there is really not that much going on, so I was looking forward to a boring Saturday night even as the phone rang.
I said, "Hello" but didn't get an answer.
I listened to see if maybe it was an obscene phone call but I couldn't get that lucky lol. I said again,
"Hello, if you want to talk you got to say something."
I waited and again, nothing; but there was something going happening on the other end of that phone so I shut up and listened for a moment. I could hear a light humming on the other end.
The sounds of someone happy, humming a song?
Yes, a radio playing soft, sensual music and the humming kind of matching the music. And another thing I could hear was water, moving water? Splashing? I wasn't sure who it was or what they wanted as I was trying to put together what was going on.
I must have really been into it as I jumped like a teenager at a Friday the 13th movie when I heard your voice.
"I want you. 201 China Grove Ave."
I didn't recognize it but as fast as it was said you were gone. I sat there for a minute still trying to figure this out. But not for long.
I went down stairs and fired up my bike and rode to 201 China Grove. It was only about 15 minutes from where I live, but with the thoughts of what I heard, those 15 minutes were long ones.
I have been on this street a few times doing work on some of the houses, painting, building decks for the back yards,
so I have seen a lot of them on the street but I didn't remember having seen that address, it just didn't register with me.
When I made that final turn on China Grove I started looking for the address. As I came to the end of the street there was a lone mailbox... 201 was all it said.
Now I know why it never sounded familiar as my jobs were
further up the street and this one at the very end. I just had never come down this far. Also the property was surrounded buy trees.
I mean TREES. The Black Forest in Germany would be impressed with the ones that covered this property. They were like a fence.
I pulled my bike in the drive and rode the ΒΌ mile up it till I came to the house, nice, big, well lit. I was walking to the door when I heard the same music I had heard on the phone. It was coming from the back yard. I walked around the house till it come into view.
That's what I heard.
