It’s only a matter of minutes before Boomer thunders into the ladies room bellowing like a bull “Baby\u2026hurry up and finish yer bidnezz girl\u2026times a wasting and I can’t wait for you to meet the boys!” <\/span><\/p>\n

I shudder, and say nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBaby\u2026I know yer in here woman\u2026come out come out where ever you are\u201d Boomer continues, \u201cLook\u2026me n the boys got places to go n things to do\u2026get a move on it girlie!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I still make no move.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boomer roars, \u201cGET THE FUCK OUT HERE GIRL ER I\u2019M COMIN IN!\u201d and I am once again reminded how he got his nickname. I hear a woman further down the row of stalls whimper and I understand that she doesn\u2019t know I\u2019m here or that he\u2019s after me.<\/span><\/p>\n

*sigh* <\/span><\/p>\n

I guess I really don\u2019t\u2019 have a choice. I stand up and open the door. Boomer envelopes me in a bear hug and I remember Suzie\u2019s comments about his teeth and breath. My stomach roils and I can\u2019t tell weather it\u2019s fear, a reaction to his body odor, more hangover or something of all of the above. <\/span><\/p>\n

And again I think \u201cwhat the fuck where you thinking Baby? How the hell did ya let yerself get talked into this?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Boomer drags me by the arm out the door of the restroom and through the airport. I am surprised to find the mustang still sitting at the curb in a no parking zone and BarnYard in a heated \u201cdiscussion\u201d with 4 armed airport security. I glance up at the mountain in the back seat and think that then again, maybe I\u2019m not so surprised.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boomer ushers me into the front passenger seat, completely ignoring the airport security and jumps up onto the trunk of the car swinging his legs over to rest in the seat beside Robert.<\/span>

I scrunch down wishing that by some act of god the taramac will open up and absorb me as BarnYard just pulls away from the curb leaving the security guards standing there mid-citation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGreat\u201d I mutter, \u201cI\u2019m not even here for an hour and I\u2019m gonna get shot leaving the airport!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I hear a rumble from the backseat and realize that it\u2019s laughter coming from the behemoth sitting behind me. \u201cThat\u2019s showin them\u201d hollers Boomer as we head out to the parkway Boomer\u2019s hair flapping like a hound dogs ears.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
