Not Your Typical Country Girl Chapter Thirty Three
Clay's POV
The chores this morning were not too fun. I was exhausted and the dia was just now starting. Everyone was soaked to the bone and it was chilly for a summer morning. Maybe winter won't be so bad. But, you can never tell with this Alabama weather. One dia it can be hot as blazes and the seguinte will feel like the middle of fall.
I saw Harmony in the celeiro and she was working happily por herself. I guess she was enjoying being able to work again.
"Clay, you're soaked," Harmony said as she spotted me outside.
All the sudden I seen a big bolt of lightenin' and I jumped inside the celeiro as Harmony laughed. I laughed at her as she jumped due to the thunder.
"If we hurry up with everything, maybe we can go muddin'," I said.
"That's all I have been thinking about," Finn said as everyone came into the celeiro to get away from the lightenin'.
"What is muddin'," Harmony asked confused.
"Wow," Lance mumbled to hisself.
"We load up the dirt bikes and four wheelers and head on the trails to the mud pit," I said.
"Oh," she said as she thought about it.
"It's really fun," Tucker said.
"I guess so," she said doubtful.
"Once we go, you will amor it," I said.
"We can't go as long as it is lightenin'," Dustin said.
"Well it should pass over soon," Lance said.
"We might as well go inside the house and wait this storm out," Finn stated.
"Yeah it might be a while," Tucker said, "but the good Lord knows we needed it!"
We waited for the rain to let up a little bit and then we all ran for the back deck.
"Okay y'all, wait right there," mom said as the screen door, "y'all have to come into the mud room one at a time and change."
Harmony went over to the porch balanço and sat down.
"Y'all can go first," Harmony said as she waved her hand away.
Once everyone had changed into their dry clothes, mom out us all to work. Harmony was helping mom cook lunch as the boys cleaned the house and did laundry. It wasn't fun but it was easy compared to what we normally do.
Mom and Harmony had cooked a great lunch. We all helped cleaned the mesa, tabela and the dishes. por the time we got done, the storm had passed and the sun was trying to peak through the clouds. Hopefully, we could get our chores done and go play in the mud!
por the time we got done it was too late to go. Sam was over for jantar and staying the weekend. Mom and dad had decided it was okay for Harmony to sleep on the sofá in my room.
Since we had an extra girl in the house I figured it would be a good idea to go get my chuveiro before dinner. Once everyone would be done with jantar there would be a line for showers and hot water.
I got in and stood there for a few minutes. This rainy dia had made me so tired. I hated working in rain, it made me feel terrible.
jantar was delicious as always. Mom and Sam had prepared fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, and rolls. It was so good. I'm pretty sure I had 3 helpings of everything.
"I'll help clean since you cooked," Harmony said quietly to Sam.
"It's alright, you've been working hard today," Sam said in her bubbly self.
"Not really," Harmony shrugged.
Harmony sure was being shy tonight. Normally, Harmony doesn't act shy around all of us but I guess with Sam that's a different story. Maybe she is intimidated por Sam.
"Lance, can I borrow a pair of shorts and a t shirt," Harmony asked.
"I don't care," he said.
"Okay cool," she said as she disappeared.
I made my way to the living room to watch tv with dad. The Atlanta Braves were playing so I had to turn on the game.
"Hey boys, the game is on," dad yelled.
I watch as Dustin came in and say on the other end of the couch.
"Where are your other brothers," dad asked Dustin.
"They went to the antro, den to play video games," Dustin said.
Mom and Sam got done cleaning the cozinha and came to watch the game with us.
"Where did Harmony go," she asked as the game went on a commercial.
"I don't know," dad said.
"I think I hear the chuveiro running," I stated.
The game came back on and the power went out.
"Well dang," I grumbled.
"I'll get a flashlight and take it to Harmony," mom said.
"Well, I'm heading to bed. Goodnight y'all," dad said.
"Night dad," I said.
"Night Mr. Bryce," Sam said.
My eyes were slowly adjusting as the darkness lasted.
"Man, I was doing great that game," Lance said as he voice got louder.
"I know, me too! I was 8-0," Finn said.
"Finn that's nothing," I said messing with him, "that's horrible!"
"How? I didn't die at all," he said trying to defend hisself.
"I'm kidding," I said, "that's pretty good."
"You better be," he said.
"Whatcha gonna do about? It's dark," I said laughing.
"Whatever," Finn mumbled.
"I'm heading to her; goodnight kids," I said.
"Night," Lance said laughing.
I made my way to my bedroom in the dark. I can easily get to my bedroom with my eyes closed. I could see a light coming from my room. It had to be mom fixing Harmony some blankets or something on the couch. But it was just Harmony.
"Are you sure this is alright," she asked unsure.
"Yeah, it's no problem," I said, "just don't wake me up with your snoring!"
"I don't snore," she stated, "don't let YOUR snoring wake ME up!"
"Okay, I'll try," I said laughing.
"Hey where did you get that Navy shirt," Harmony asked, "that camisa is comfy!"
"I got it when I signed up," I stated.
"Signed up for what," she asked curiously.
"I joined the Navy; you know it's a branch in the military," I said.
"Cool," Harmony said as she got ready for bed, "well they make comfy shirts!"
I don't think she really understands what I am meaning. I just don't have the coração to tell her right now.
"Goodnight," She said as covered up.
"Night, amor you," I said.
Harmony looked over at me with wide eyes.
"What's wrong," I asked confused.
"No one has ever said that to me before," she said as her cheeks turned red.
"No one at all," I asked.
"No," she said, "is it something that is said a lot or something?"
"Yeah I guess it is. You mean your parents never said that to you," I asked.
"No. I haven't ever met my dad and I don't remember much from living with my mom," she said as she stared at the ceiling, "I was 4 when I moved to the orphanage."
"I'm sorry. What happened to your mom," I asked.
"She was a druggy and died of an overdose," I said.
"Oh, I'm really sorry," I said.
"It's okay. I don't remember much," she said as a laugh slipped, "I was locked in a closet most of the time."
"That's awful. I'm sorry," I said, "I don't understand how a parent could do that to her child."
"It's fine, don't worry about it. It's not a big deal," Harmony said, "but goodnight."
I couldn't believe what she had just told me. Harmony had actually opened up to one of us. She was being herself and didn't have her guard up. I was almost in shock when she turned her flashlight out. I'm really happy she felt comfortable around me to tell me that.
