"Sounds good to me."<br/><br/>Travis replied to Pam with a smile. He thought it would fun to meet the girls at her school and tell them what goes into being a musician. It was a lot of hard work, not just parties all the time.<br/><br/>"Me too."<br/><br/>Alexis said with a smile as well. She wouldn't mind meeting her cousin's students either. She could tell Travis was eager about the idea and that made her love him more. She thought he'd make a great dad someday. He was great around kids.<br/><br/>"And you're welcome."<br/><br/>Alexis replied about the copy. It would be no problem. Nor would it trouble her much to pay for her cousin's airfare to California. Even if she'd rather just Pam would come and not Pete. She did not like him at all. She'd rather give him a one way ticket to the Death Valley desert without a water bottle, instead.<br/><br/>Alexis nodded her head that Pam didn't want to burden her. She knew it wouldn't be but she also knew that Pete would probably not let Pam even go. He was far too controlling. And it made her sad and angry for Pam. Her cousin was such a nice person, she deserved to be married a man who treated her with respect. Not be married to that asshole.<br/><br/>"Okay, well, just let me know."<br/><br/>Travis laughed at Pam's comment about her puppy.<br/><br/>"Yeah, I wouldn't enjoy that."<br/><br/>Travis scratched the puppy behind the ears one last time. Alexis looked at Pamela, a little sadly.<br/><br/>"Yeah, I know."<br/><br/>Grandma was a stubborn woman. Things had to be the way she wanted and she didn't like change. It was frustrating but also something to truly be respected. Alexis should have told her how much she had respected that. She just thought Grandma Maude would be alive forever. She touched Pam's hand and said.<br/><br/>"I loved her too....I should have told her that more often."<br/><br/>Now, she'd never have another chance to tell her again. Travis gave Alexis a sad smile. He knew his girlfriend was hurting.<br/><br/>"Good night."<br/><br/>The couple told Pam, they were both tired themselves. After Pam and her puppy left, Alexis and Travis changed into their nightclothes and laid in her bed. Travis had his arms wrapped around her. Alexis had her head resting on Travis' chest.<br/><br/>"You okay?"<br/><br/>"Yes, no....I don't know. It doesn't feel real yet. It feels like she's out shopping and then she's going to come in any minute and yell that we shouldn't be sharing a room because we aren't married yet. And that you need a hair cut."<br/><br/>Alexis replied sadly. Travis gave her a sad smile. And kissed the top of her head.<br/><br/>"Yeah, it does. She hated my mohawk."<br/><br/>Travis replied, he had only met Grandma Maude a few times but he remembered how vocal she was with her opinion. If she didn't like something, she let you know. Alexis nodded her head.<br/><br/>"Yeah, she did...."<br/><br/>"Try to get some sleep."<br/><br/>Travis said and Alexis replied she'd try. But sleep didn't come as easily as she hoped it would.
