"Celia, we need to talk" Marlin said into one end of the phone. I could hear him talking from the kitchen. I felt bad for eaves dropping, but I felt it was juicy news. Besides, nothing ever interesting happened it seemed.
"What do you mean about what! The kiss!" He sounded annoyed.
"You caught me off guard!...of course I liked it…….no I'm not mad……ok, ok, see you soon…bye" Marlin hung up. I could hear him walking to the door. I quickly dove in front of the T.V and turned it on. I pretended I was interested in the program.
"Why are you watching a fishing show?" Marlin asked as he grabbed his coat.
"Uhh…" I mumbled. "Nothing else worth watching" I quickly said.
"Can you milk Bessie I…Uhh…I'm busy" he finished. And I knew exactly what he was busy for! Celia. For some reason, I didn't want him going.
"Oh but Bessie likes you better!" I said jumping up off the floor. I stood in front of door. Marlin rolled his eyes.
"Bridget, She is very found of you. Please I don't need this right now!" Marlin said. I didn't like his tone at all!
"Fine I'll milk her but can I come with you after. Since your going to Vesta's I might as well…" I suddenly stopped. "Oh crap"
"How do you know I'm going there?" Marlin said putting his hands on his hips.
"I, eaves dropped on your conversation on the phone with Celia…" I said quickly. Marlin looked at me and shook his head. He pushed me aside and walked out the door. I grabbed my coat and headed to the barn.
Bessie stood silently as I milked her. She swayed her tail back and forth. Kind how of how my feelings were, Back and forth. Celia likes Marlin and now I think I do to! You always want what you can't have. I defiantly can't have him now! Celia has known him longer and likes him! But maybe he likes me…that's crazy talk. He just walked out on me! But maybe he…Maybe I'm…
Suddenly, I was whipping milk from my eyes. I had accidentally sprayed it at me instead of in the bucket. I put the bucket on a shelf by the fodder deposit and whipped my face with a cloth. Just then I saw Marlin in the window walking towards the house…crying!
