Bush's baby boy

Yesterday morning I went to the courts and did my jump rope, then went into work to get some stuff done. More specifically, I was doing that file that Wendy gave to me on Friday which seems to be somewhat urgent. Again, it was someone's file given to me because they were going on leave.

To my surprise I got a lot of it done. I went to lunch at about 1pm at that Pepper place, then returned to do a bit more, until I got a phone call from Shuing asking if we wanted to work on his car a bit. Malay had talked about it the previous night, but Shuing seemed kinda vague on it so I didn't really press it.

But I said I could go, and called Malay and he said he'd pick me up. I finished up and had a look at Katie's room a bit. She seems like a messy person. When I ask myself why do I like her, I actually find it a little hard to explain, if I'm forced to give an answer that goes beyond looks. Maybe I'm just excited that someone good looking is interested in me? But then again, I kinda like the way she tentatively talks sometimes, the way she can be shy but then laugh genuinely. She also has amazing eyes.

Anyway, I waited across the street for Malay and he picked me up and we went to my place so I could get changed. In the meantime he went to Thai's place, but my mom wanted me to get some bread and ginger so I told him to meet me at Shuing's while I went to get it. I drove to get the bread and ginger, dropped it home and then went to Shuing's.

G and Shuing came out with a bucket and the usual tools. We started washing his car and then Malay arrived. After washing his car, we decided to test out the spray can of paint he got last time. We tested it on a small area first, and it seemed to work pretty well, and so we ended up doing the whole front bumper plus some of the sides. I couldn't believe it. It was like he got a new bumper, wow.

After that Shuing invited to his usual Saturday soccer, and so we drove to the field that he normally plays on. After a bit of talk, Malay left because he was meeting some friends in the city. G and I kicked the ball around while the game went on. Shuing urged us to play, and while I was tempted, I could really picture myself hurting my knee and ending my basketball comeback on a soccer field, so I persisted in my refusal.

G and I played a 'game' to see who could be the first to juggle the ball five times. We both got pretty close a lot, but I ended up doing it first, hehe. We spent the remainder of the time watching the game. I didn't like one of the guys on Shuing's team who didn't play any defence at all but kept calling for the ball, and then later on left the game because of a soft injury. What a wuss.

G and I left before the game finished, because our legs got tired, lol. I drove him home and then went home myself. I went to rent a movie and got Horsemen of the Apocalypse, watched it at home and thought it was ok. It seemed more like a B class movie that tried to get that chick's career going, but too bad she can't speak English. I heard she's quite arrogant too.

Before I went to sleep, a crazy thought occurred to me: what if I had done something to Katie's room which indicated someone had been in there? I mean, her friend would get to work before me and see that I went in on the weekend. Put that together with her things being touched, and you have a pretty good case. I decided to pay the office a visit the next day.

So today I went to the courts and shot around a bit. I did two sets of intensive running around the court. I then drove to the office and made sure that nothing in Katie's room had been touched. It hadn't. I left and went to fill my car up with petrol.

I also went to the casino, and felt a bit guilty doing it because I knew I was visiting Bush in the hospital today. Nevertheless, the allure of reducing my debt was too much. I went in and lost the first spin, but won on the second and after a few more spins I left with a $130 gain.

I drove to Parra, and because of the casino visit, I was late. My plan had been to do everything I had done PLUS visit the medical centre for a blood test, but I didn't have time for that. I met up with Kylie and Shady at the Suzuki car dealership, and immediately went for a test drive in a brand new mini 4WD with Kylie at the wheel. She was sooooo excited!

I wondered how she could afford this as she was going to be out of a job soon, but then she soon told me that there was no way she could afford this and had no intention of buying it brand new, but just wanted to see what it was like to drive to help her decide in buying a second hand one.

Shady and I checked out other cars, and we were both madly in love with the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. It is sooooooo masculine! I loved the seats, far out. But at $74,000, I don't think I'll ever be able to see myself in one.

After that we went to the shopping centre to get some lunch (I had Indian food again, I seem to have this craving for it). We talked about what present to get for Bush and also a bit about our jobs.

We ended up getting Bush this gift pack from a glamour photo place, which I thought was a really good idea. We had a bit of a walk around after that, before I drove us to the hospital.

Surprisingly we found a car space right outside the hospital, which was good cause I was about to drive into the private car park. We made our way through the hospital and found Bush's room. Her brother was in there with her, and she had the baby on the bed as she was cleaning it. The baby was soooo adorable! He had a lot more hair than I'd imagine he would have.

Kylie and Shady had a go at holding the baby, but I could tell Bush was kinda protective of it so I didn't ask if she wasn't going to invite. We all went down because the nurse asked us to, so we spent most of our time downstairs in this lobby/waiting area and chatted.

I didn't talk much, but I was a bit shocked by how much Bush had changed physically. Apart from her feet swelling up, I noticed how her face now had that bit of extra fat that mothers just seem to have. It was pretty unbelievable.

Throughout the entire visit, I just kept thinking about Katie. How excited would I be if she gave birth to our baby? Would she be a good mother? Would she want to bear my children? Would I be able to support her throughout? There were so many questions, and it all made me query about how serious I should be about this thing.

Was she as serious as I was? Did I know what I was getting myself into?

We left when Bush wanted to feed her baby, and I drove Kylie and Shady back to their cars. I went home and had a nap earlier, trying to think of what I could say during tomorrow's lunch to keep things light and keep them entertained.
