Wedding Day Bonus by RodG Flash Fiction contest entry |
"You gonna dance at the reception?" Davy asked. "Nah," I said. "No girlfriend coming?" I scowled at the carrot-topped step-brother I'd just acquired. All the time Dad had been romancing his mom I'd been back East. But even boarding schools have summer vacations. "Too bad. I get the second dance with Mom. We've been practicing the box-step." I groaned. I'd seen the woman twice since my return. "Let's play catch. I stashed a football in Dad's trunk." Davy gawked. "We're all dressed up. I get messed up, Mom will kill me, and your father won't be happy." I grinned devilishly. Five minutes later, as he raced to catch a spiral pass, he tripped and turned an ankle. Carrying him piggy-back toward the church, I asked, "What will you call him?" "Who?" "The man rushing toward us." "Hi, Dad. I'm okay and Bro here is really strong."
