Chapter 2
“You’re not going to stop before I say it, are you?”
“Nope,” James replied with the most mischievous voice. It was like he suddenly became a teenager again.
They rode in silence for about 20 seconds or so, when James started bugging Tom again. “So? Who’s the better one?”
“Oh, grow up dad. You’ve got 29 years of experience on me, of course you’re a better rider. Now can you stop? You don’t have to always be the best, you know.”
“I know. I was just messing with you. Testing you. Pushing all the buttons to see how you react. After all, I need to know you inside out to trust you completely.”
“I’m your son for fuck’s sake. Don’t you think it’s obvious you can trust me?” Tom got visibly upset and was now borderline shouting.
“Well, you did want to shoot me still yesterday.”
“I had a job you crazy man!”
“Alright, calm down. I should’ve known you share my temper, and I should know I can trust you as my son. It’s just I never had a real partner before. I never needed to trust anyone but myself. I’m somewhat afraid, that’s all,” James pulled the cigarette pack out of his pocket and lit one for himself.
“Same here, but that doesn’t mean we need to act like chipmunks to one another.” Tom then pointed at the cigarette pack in James’ hand who threw it to him. Tom also lighted one up.
"Crazy"

What a difference a day makes! Pushing buttons can be fun (and very telling). Now, you know, I'm going to be reading your next few chapters and picturing these two as chipmunks!
Hahhahah :D I never told you how hairy they were :p Maybe as hairy as chipmunks :p....
;)
can't believe you already are that far into the next chapter!!
Time flies when you're having fun :P
Hello you, I would like to do your partner. We developed. I've been following you, did you?
Hey! ^^
What do you mean, partner?
You've already posted for today's prompt but, I just love giving you these!
Today your prompts are being delivered by a young, spindly legged Gerenuk who has recently moved to the town of Freewrite. (We handed him the bag, told him it was tradition that each new resident upheld, then went to luau!)
is "uau" in "luau" silent, just like "ueue" in "queue" is? :P
"Lou-ow" (Which probably came from when Lou injured himself while dancing by the fire after tossing back a few drinks) 😂
I never understood tossing back drinks... I prefer drinking mine... :p
