KATIE'S GAME [ part 1 ] The girl was an innocent. Even at the age of eleven, her being was beginning to have an effect on boys and girls. The boys were in awe and the girls were envious. This made for a lonely existence and this is why she began spending time with her favorite uncle. He was always there with a kind word, some sensitive advice, or sometimes he would say or do something that would make her laugh. Jim ,on the other hand, would have liked any one who laugh at his jokes but he would look at Katie with nothing less than love. The games began because he was ticklish and Katie and althoughloved to tease him. One day she was watching him. Jim was totally engrossed in a movie and she wanted his attention. She queitly slipped her shoes off her stocking feet and snuck up behind him. Her long brown hair almost to her waist and she decided to use it as her weapon of choice. She took a few strands and holding them close to the edge, stroked Jim's neck with them. Katie did not know this man could fly but that is what he did a split second after she had touch his neck. She began to laugh and laugh hard and although the intial look of anger made her try and control it, she knew there was no way that was going to happen. Uncle Jim looked at Katie falling to the floor in a hopeless pile of giggles. He started toward her with an evil smile and a cartoonish laugh. "You shouldn't hhave done that young lady" and he started toward her. Katie never had a chance. She was young, atheletic, and could move like a cat nomally but if you pick a fight with muscular thirty year old who could not move as fast, you'd better not give up your advantage by trying to run in stocking feet on a wood floor with a serve case of the giggles. Katie would need to have wanted to get away and if truth be told she didnt. She had taken no more than a step when an arm reach around the slender waist and held her tightly while he returned to the chair. Jim looked the bundle in his arms. Her long hair flowed over her red checked shirt and the shirt was untucking itself from the knee length blue skirt she usually wore with it. Katie was also wearing knee high blue socks but her shoes were MIA. She looked up at him and she was beaming. "Now what are you going to do?" and without the slightest hesitation tried to tickle his neck again. That move was the beginning because as he pinned her arms to her sides and her legs with his legs and just held her, he knew they both felt warm and loved. He also knew this was a start and not the end. |
