~*~ Piano Lessons ~*~

 

“Hello.” Elton cheerfully answers his cel seeing his Baby’s number.

 

“Hi . . . whach’ doing?” Marshall nervously asks.

 

Nothing  important . . . . looking over the mail from England.” Elton says.

 

“I need a favor.” Marshall tries to nonchalantly ask.

 

“It doesn’t have to be today but soon they have to be somewhere near us and able to work around her school schedule and I guess mine if she has to travel money isn’t a problem if they have to travel I prefer that they come to us it would be easier . . .” Marshall spews in one continues breath.

 

“Baby you need to slow down because I have the faintness idea what you’re talking about.” Elton interrupts.

 

“I need a piano teacher and I thought you could help cause I don’t know where to fuckin’ start . . . . what do I look for . . . . is the one we have gonna be good enough for teaching.” Marshall spews.

 

“Please One thing at a time . . . you need a piano teacher because?” Elton curiously asks.

 

“You know Hailie is taking lessons in that after school program thing but she says the class is for babies. She wants real lessons. What are real lessons?” Marshall spews.

 

“Princess already knows how to play.” Elton cheerfully comments.

 

“That’s what I thought too . . . but she wants to be better. You have to help me! Find us a teacher a good one.” Marshall pitifully pleads.

 

“I’m on my way.” Elton excitedly says.

 

“What? . . . Here? Elton! Noooooo!” Marshall says, listening to him on the other end talking to someone.

 

“Elton Noooooo!” Marshall yells into the phone.

 

“Why Not? My Princess wants piano lesson and not bragging on myself or anything but I can play and actually pretty good at it.” Elton playfully says.

 

“Where you gonna find time for these lessons?” Marshall nervously asks.

 

“Princess and I will work out something.” Elton cheerfully says.

 

Nooooooo . . . find us a teacher.” Marshall firmly states.

 

“NO!” Elton firmly states.

 

“Sweetheart listen to me. You don’t have the time . . . your schedule is already over booked. Joshua will have a fuckin’ cow!” Marshall firmly states.

 

“Fuck Joshua! . . .” Elton agitatedly states, nothing in the world could/will ever stand in his way when his family needs him.

 

“I prefer that you didn’t.” Marshall quickly adds with a laugh.

 

“Figure of speech! I’ll be there tomorrow and if you’re a good boy I’ll give you some private lessons before Princess gets home from school.” Elton

 

“Really.” Marshall excitedly moans.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Marshall curled up on the large over stuffed sofa, kinda watching television and sketching Hailie and Elton playing on the piano. It’s been almost an hour and it’s actually starting to sound like Circle Of Life, Marshall never letting on that he actually knows the proper name of the song, calling it the Lion King song and loving the expressions his Baby Girl gets when having to correct him on the proper name.

 

“Alright You Two I can’t take the same song over and over anymore.” Marshall playfully spews, walking over to them and playfully scooting Hailie in between them on the bench.

 

Marshall begins to play Can You Feel The Love Tonight, anstonshishing Hailie and Elton who didn’t even know he could play.

 

“That Was Great Daddy!” Hailie jubilantly cheers as Elton tries desperately to get his breathing back to normal, totally blown away.

 

“Is it one of yours?” Hailie excitedly asks, looking over at Uncle EJ.

 

“When did you . . .” Elton tries to calmly ask.

 

“I guess hanging out with you . . . I’ve picked up a few things.” Marshall nervously says.

 

“What’s it called after Circle of Life I wanna lean that one can I please?” Hailie rattles in one continuousness breath and both men laugh.

 

“It’s called Can You Feel The Love Tonight . . . yes we can.” Elton nervously says.

 

“Alright I’m done being Great!” Marshall playfully spews standing, and Hailie and Elton both laugh.

 

Elton quickly plays a few bars of Beethoven as he is walking back over to the sofa.

 

“That’s showing off!” Marshall jokingly states flopping back on the sofa.

 

Several moments go by with Hailie and Elton going back to learning Circle of Life, and Marshall agitatedly flipping through the large selection of television channels, having to sensor himself several times at how annoying television can be theses days.

 

Aunt B comes into the room and listens to them play for several moments, before announcing even though Miss Hailie has company it is still bed time, and with several growls she kisses Elton and Marshall good night, and leaves the room still growling, that it’s not normal for a ten year old to have to go to bed at eleven o’clock.

 

“We’ll be up in a minute.” Marshall sincerely announces as she is leaving, Elton holding in emotional thoughts of how much she is just like her father.
