Part 26

When Shawnie walked in Skeet was laying down on the couch while Drea was laying down beside him. Shawnie sat down in the chair and said "Skeet I have something to tell you."
Skeet looked at her and sat up and said "What is it?"
"Well Josh will be staying here for a while. I just wanted to make sure it is fine with you. He will help with the bills and I will set him up in one of the spare bedrooms."
"Yeah that is fine with me, but why is he staying here." he asked her.
"It's a long story that I will tell you later when everyone is settled." she said.
"Okay whatever." he said and layed back down.
Shawnie got up and said "I am going to fix dinner what do you two want."
Drea got up and said "I will help you. I think we can figure something out."
Shawnie and Drea walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigator.   Shawnie grabbed the box of pasta and told Drea "Grab that package of hamburger and I will make a pasta casserole. "
"Okay what else do you need?" Drea said as she grabbed the package.
"I will need tomatoes so I can make the sauce. I can get them though. You can start the hamburger." she said to Drea.
Drea did as she was told. Shawnie started cooking the sauce. Shawnie handed the pasta to Drea, she started to pour the box in when Skeet walked in and said "Blondie, the phone is for you."
Shawnie looked up and said "Okay just a sec." She walked over and grabbed the headset and put it on and said "Hello."
Shawnie listen to what the caller had to say and then she said "Okay I will be there. Thank you for calling."
She hung up and took the headset off and sat it back on the counter. She didn't say anything she just went back to her sauce. Drea and Skeet was staring at her. Shawnie ignorned them and focused on her sauce. Skeet finally had enough and said "Who was that?"
"It was no one. " she said.
"Shanwie come on I was the one who answered the phone."
"It was Uncle Steven. He is working on something for me." she said.
"What is he working on? Shawnie tell me." he said.
Shawnie gleared at him and said "I will tell you later okay."
He finally got the hint and said "Okay don't get your panties in a wad, I was just wondering."
"Why don't you take over this Drea me and Skeet have to talk?" she said.
Drea took the spoon and said "Okay."
Shawnie grabbed Skeet by the sleeve and said "Come here."
Skeet followed her. She took him to the pool area. When she pushed him through the door she pushed him up against the wall and put her finger in chest and said "Don't you ever do that to me again? When I tell you that I will tell you later don't start asking me questions like that."
"I was just asking because you had a scared look on your face. I was worried about you." he said to her.
"I have something go on in my life that I don't want anyone to know about, but now everyone will know." she yelled at him.
"Don't yell at me. I am not the one that you are mad at. Why don't you tell me what the hell is going on?" he yelled back.
"I was raped, is that what you wanted to hear." she yelled.
Skeet looked at her and said "By who?"
"None of your business." she said.
"Tell me Shawie or I will call Steven and ask him." he said.
"You don't have the guts and also Steven won't tell you." she said.
"I will find out. I will hurt that asshole when I do." he said.
Shawnie looked away and said "You will not touch him. That is why I didn't tell you before this. I don't want anyone to touch him I can take care of myself."
"No you can't Shawn. Tell me who it was?" he yelled.
"Nate Williams. There are you happy now." she yelled.
Skeet looked at her and said "What?"
"You will not touch him because I will kick your ass if you do. Promise me that you will not touch him." she said to him.
Skeet started pacing.   Shawnie could tell that he was planning something.   She grabbed his shirt and stopped him and said "You will not touch him Skeet. You leave him alone. Do you hear me Skeet? I mean it you will not touch him."
"I won't touch him. I will just put the fear of god in him." he said with out a smile.
Shawnie looked up and said "You have to leave him alone until we get this worked out. Uncle Steven is going to try and procacute him for it. He could go to prison for it. If you or Josh go near him it will ruin the case. You both have to let it go until this whole thing is over okay."
He looked down at her and said "Yeah you are right. I won't touch him yet. I will have a little talk with him though. I won't even bring up anything. I just want to talk to him again. Wait a minute Nate was the one that call this morning wasn't it."
Shawnie shook her head yes.
"I will call him and ask him to come over while Josh and you go out for a drive or a movie or something. I don't want you or Drea here." Skeet said.
"No he is not going to come here. I don't want him here. You are not going to bring him here." she said raising her voice.
"Okay I will meet him somewhere. Josh will come with me I know he will. You and Drea stay here." he said.
"Skeet god damm it. That is not leaving him alone. You are just going to mess this case up. I want you to stay put and leave him alone. God I knew I shouldn't have told you." she yelled.
Skeet looked at her and he could see the hurt in her eyes and said "Okay I won't touch him. I do want to talk to him though. We used to be friends so what is the harm in that."
"It will mess up the case. You have to leave him alone." she said.
He leaned down and gave her a hug and said "You have my word I won't contact him. I promise you."
She thanked him and they went back into the kitchen. Drea had the sauce done and everything else. Shawnie started making the casserole. When she was putting it into the oven Josh was walking in with boxes. Shawnie smiled and said "Here I will show you to your room."
Josh followed her upstairs. Shawnie walked past her room to a room across from hers. She opened the door and said "Here it is? You can start getting settled. I will have Skeet help you with the boxes."   Shawnie turned to walk out, Josh grabbed her arm and said "Why don't you help me unpack?"
"You get all of your boxes in here and I will be glad to help you." she said with a smile.
She walked out of the room with Josh following her. Shawnie didn't have to ask Skeet to help with the boxes because he was walking in the house with boxes in his arms. Drea was in the kitchen watching the casserole.   Shawnie didn't know what to do so she sat down at the island and grabbed her magazine and started reading it. There was silence in the house. Drea waited for her and Shawnie to be alone before she said "Shawnie I need to ask you something?"
"Sure go ahead what is it?" Shawnie said with out looking up.
