Chapter 7: Day 6

I made a number five with stick arms sticking out of it with arms wide open. Kyle smirked at the cover before opening it. "Five is your time to jump and jive."

He closed the card and told me, "Well, I did jump and jive a lot as a kid. I was the best dancer out of all the boys."

"Oh really?" I asked him.

"Really. In fact, I can try some now." Kyle grabbed the walking pole from his other side of the bed and walked a little bit. "Can I hold both of your hands? It's better than using the walking pole to get around."

"Sure," I reply as I stand up from my chair to give him both of my hands to hold.

When he does, he places the right hand he's holding at my waist and pulls me close to him. We just sway together as he says, "The only thing that would make this moment more perfect is if you had a curve hugging dress."

I shake my head in disapproval but a smile still slips out. "I see the lady agrees with me," Kyle answered.

"You have heard about the Me Too movement right?"

"Yes, but it doesn't stop me from wanting to jump and jive on my fifth birthday." He raised his brows as he said, "And now, is time for the finale." Kyle let's go of my left hand and with a surprising amount of forces spins me out with my right. We're still holding hands at arm's length before a bemused expression settles in. "Now, you're supposed to swing back to me."

I swing back towards him. Letting his arms wrap around me as my free hand finds his chest. I look up at Kyle and he looks down at me. "Permission to kiss my dance partner?"

"Permission denied," I replied. He scowls and I tweak his nose.

"You're still in my arms," Kyle replied.

"I know."


Chapter 8: Day 7

For Kyle's sixth birthday, I drew my interpretation of musical notes. I looked at pictures online and copied them from there. It took painstaking time to scatter those music notes around the number six as well as inside of the card. Not that Kyle cared.

"You definitely are a horrible drawer, Renata." I fished through my sweater pockets and threw a pen at him. It bounced off of his forehead. "What just happened?"

"I just threw a pen at you because I have nothing else to throw." Kyle picks up the pen and throws it at my forehead. "HEY!"

"Now, we're even. And you interrupted me. I didn't even read your message inside of the card, yet." As he opens the card and frowns at undoubtedly what he saw as unworthy depictions of musical notes, Nurse Ramsey opens the door.

She glanced at Kyle and I anxiously as she said, "I heard shouting. Is everything alright?"

"Yes, just a difference in opinion," replied Kyle as he silently reads the message inside the card to himself for a moment. "Now, butt out."

"Kyle!" I yell, making him look at me disapprovingly. I turn to the door and I'm about to apologize, but Nurse Ramsey already clicked the door shut. "She just wanted to see what was going on."

"Wrong; she wanted to snoop in." Kyle looked down at the message as he said aloud, "Six is the year of learning what school grades represent. Don't forget the most important grade is the one you put on yourself." Kyle smirked at me as he asks, "Now Renata, I'm the type of person who would give themselves an A without blinking an eye. How would you grade me?"

"I give you an F!" I replied as I got out of my chair and started heading towards the front door.

Before I'm able to completely shut the door Kyle yells out, "Oh teacher, what can I do for some extra credit!?"
