Taking a nap isn't quite that easy
Who: Jessup Greene, Abelinda Green and [OPEN!]
Where: Barber Shop
When: May 17th, Afternoon
Status: Incomplete
Summary: Jessup is seriously trying to sneak off and take a nap. Abelinda decides to put him to work.
Jessup stepped out onto the wooden planks outside of the barber shop. Tilting his hat back, he stretched his arms up over his head, his joints popping and muscles aching from the labor he'd already completed that day.
Taking in a deep breath, he glanced around, nodding his head to a few men as they passed and tipping his hat to the ladies. He wondered when his mother would get here. She'd been gone an awful long time. He turned his head, looking into the glass of the shop. Not noticing his wife a smile pulled up the corners of his lips. He could take a siesta and she'd never know. Until she came lookin for him of course.
Going back into the shop, he grabbed one of the wooden chairs inside and carted it out the back door. Putting it down he sat, leaning it back until the top of the chair rested against the outside wall. Propping his booted feet up on one of the rain barrels, he shifted his hat once again over his face and laced his fingers to lay them on his stomach.
The warmth of the day, even though there were clouds banking, warmed Jessup’s knee making the stiffness of the morning and changing weather a little more bearable. He knew that rain was moving in, and he hated that he knew it. Damn horse.
Settling down it didn’t take him all that long to start on his after lunch siesta. Abelinda was probably still cleaning up from where they’d had their lunch, maybe feeding little Francis. Jessup thought he’d have a little while to sleep, to rest a little while before his wife put him back to work.
