"What is going on?" Baby asked as she walked into the reception room for the truck drivers. They looked at her and smiled. "We need to wait for the receptionist, she's having a break." One of them answered, Baby turned and went back outside and sat down on the bench. She could have known that she needs to wait now, even though she prefers to go back home and have an early night. "Oh damn!" She said to herself realizing she can't have an early night as she needs to go to the dance school. She was told to come because of something going on this evening.
Baby gave up on her dream to be a professional dancer years ago and instead she did her second wish which is truck driving. Maybe weird for a girl of eighteen years old to have such a dream but Baby loves to be free. She loves to work hard without anyone looking constantly at her, dancing was her passion because it made her feel free but she became crazy on how her coach and other people were constantly looking at her. Her brother Miles and Baby started to dance when Baby was three years old. As soon as she became seven both got discovered and this person wanted to train them personally. By the time Baby became fourteen they won several championships, they danced everything and were really good at it. But then Miles got a girlfriend and their coach wanted them to take the big step which means the world championships and further on. They already got a lot of attention and for Baby it was becoming too much. She couldn't handle the attention people were giving her, she wanted to do what she wanted but people never let her, her life was already controlled. Miles came less often to the trainings because of the girl and on a day she remembers like it happened yesterday, her coach came to her to tell her the bad news.
"Baby, it sucks to say this but Miles told me he is going to stop dancing." George said. "I could have known it, it's all because of this Lisa." Baby said in an anger tone. "He said he was going to study in Europe and Lisa was going with him." George said and Baby looked at him in disbelief. "Right, it's my brother I would have known it when he would go to Europe, its bullshit George. What else you have for me?" Baby asked. "Well I was thinking that maybe we could find you a new partner if you still want to go further in dancing." George said.
Baby snapped out of her memory when the guys were coming out of the reception. "You can go now, the receptionist is back." One of them said as he looked at Baby. Baby gave a sigh and stood up but then she stood frozen and looked through the window inside the reception. Her mouth fell open as she saw the guy walking in. She could hear them talking. "Well if that isn't the entertainment staff. Listen wise-ass you're always late, god knows why but I must report it to the boss now. A whole week of coming too late every day is not a good thing to do Johnny Castle." It was the manager who was having a go at this Johnny and Baby was only looking at Johnny and never saw someone so gorgeous before. "You're on duty on the reach truck for one more hour. Don't fuck it up Johnny or you're out. Go and do your job." The guy said and Johnny looked at the ground, giving a sigh and walking away quick. Baby looked after him and was wondering why she never saw Johnny before, she comes here like four times a day. She went inside the reception and gave her papers to the receptionist. "You need an empty one?" She asked. "Yeah, for Monday." Baby said while her thoughts were still with this Johnny. "Here you go." She said and Baby signed the paper. She walked to her truck and stepped in. She looked at the time and started the truck. She was in a hurry now, she drove her truck to the place where they take off the container she has been loading. Baby looked at the reach trucker and saw it was Johnny who was looking a bit angry, she wondered why he is angry when he drove away with the container. He didn't looked at her and she gave a sigh, she drove to the other side where she would be getting an empty one. This waiting always takes a bit longer because there were also other trucks that got to be unloaded. Baby was drumming with her fingers on the steering wheel when Johnny came to her, she only pointed which one she needed and he took the empty container. She drove forward so he could put the container on the chassis and pressed the horn. She drove away to the parking that lays next to the train haven.
She parked her truck and organized her papers and prepared already the ones for Monday. She stepped out and locked the twist locks so the container couldn't drop off the chassis. She locked the truck and went to her car. "Hey Baby! Going already?" Peter asked, one of her colleagues. Baby turned around and smiled a bit at him, he smiled back. "Done already Peter?" Baby asked. "Yeah, finally." Peter said with a sigh. "I need to go now actually." Baby said. "Why so?" Peter asked curiously. "I'm expected in the dance school in about an hour or so and I need a shower." Baby said and walked to her car. Peter looked after her and shook his head, he really likes Baby but she's way too young for him and besides he's married but Baby and Peter have developed a good friendship. "Why the dance school?" Peter asked and Baby turned again. "I don't know, maybe to dance?" Baby said with a sigh. "I thought you stopped doing that years ago." Peter said as he walked to Baby now. "Yeah I did, but I sometimes still miss it. I didn't choose this place though, it was my father who told me to be there at eight. I have no idea what will be happening." Baby said as she opened the door of her car. "Please tell me Monday everything, it really made me curious." Peter said with a smile. Baby smiled at him and stepped it, Peter waved at her as she drove away. Baby drove back home with the window open as it is really warm outside and the music loud. At home it was silent, no one was there,
Baby is hungry and normally there's always someone who has made her dinner. She walked to the kitchen and saw the note on the fridge. 'Food is in the fridge, just warm it up. Take a quick shower and try to be there on time. Love, your parents' Baby opened the fridge and smiled when she saw the chicken and peas. She warmed it and went to look what she could wear but saw that even her parents has arranged that as well. She saw the dress and gave a deep sigh, it was her dancing dress she had on at her last competition. She actually didn't want to put it on but it seems she had no other choice. She heard the microwave beeping and went back downstairs to eat. After that she quickly took a shower and putted the dress on. When combing her hair she looked in the mirror, wondering why this dress still fits her and now really wondering what will going to happen. She will be dancing that seems to be a fact, but she doesn't understand what the occasion is for all this. Apart, of course, from her 19th birthday on Sunday. She told her parents she didn't want to do anything at all, not a single party or dinner or anything. She just wanted to rest and sleep and enjoy her day off. She looked at the time and quickly went to her car, she drove to the dancing school which was only five minutes away. She looked at the building when she arrived and parked her car in front of it. When she stepped out she looked at the building again and saw total darkness. Maybe they just are joking on her and she almost decided to go back home when she instantly heard music. She listened and waited for a bit, then she became curious and went to the door. Baby opened the door and went inside the dark corridor, she was just following the sound of the music. She opened the door and saw how people were talking and dancing, her parents came to her and smiled. "We know it's a bit early but we want to wish you a happy birthday already." Jake said and handed out a present to Baby. Baby looked at it and tried to smile, she really didn't want this. "Thanks, but why here and why such a party?" Baby asked as she looked at her father. "It was actually your mother's idea, she thought you would like it if we organized a party like you always had in the past." Jake explained. "Only this year not for children anymore." Marge added with a smile and went to Baby to hug her. "Thanks mum, dad but you really shouldn't have done it. I really didn't want a party." Baby said, Jake and Marge looked at each other and Baby waited. "Come on Baby please, try to enjoy it." Marge said in a begging tone.
Baby gave a sigh and looked at the present. "What is it?" Baby asked. "Open it." Jake said with a smile. Baby opened it and saw a few things, one was a card. Baby opened it and read it, her eyes went big. "Kellerman's resort? Are you crazy, how expensive must it have been?" Baby asked in a stupid tone. "Not as expensive as you think Baby. I have saved Max Kellerman's life and he invited us to come this summer." Jake said with a smile. "But I don't know if I get my vacation in these weeks dad." Baby said with a sigh. "It's arranged already Baby, I'm sorry when it's behind your back and that you don't like it that we control your life or anyone else tries to do that but we wanted to give you a relaxing holiday for once. You can use it." Marge said trying to choose her words carefully. Baby gave a sigh and looked at their hopeful faces and back at the card. "Is Miles coming with us too?" Baby asked. "He is coming the last week with Lisa, but they will have a different cabin." Jake said and Baby smiled a bit. Baby and Lisa is not a good combination to have in one room for a long period of time. "Alright then, thanks mum and dad. Looking forward to it." Baby said and hugged them again. "There's something else in the box as well." Jake said with a smile. Baby looked into it and her mouth dropped, she took a car key out of it and held it up in front of her face. "A BMW?" Baby asked stupidly and they nodded. "You are crazy." Baby said. "Remember Baby, we are rich and we gave your brother a car too. Although this one is more expensive than the one your brother got but don't tell him that." Jake said and Marge giggled a bit. Baby looked from Jake to Marge and back at the key. "Can I see it?" Baby asked. "Sure, we also will take your old car back home later so you can go back with your new car." Jake said and guided Baby outside, Marge following them. Baby pressed the button and the car beeped, she looked at it and her mouth dropped. It was a BMW X5 totally custom made and moderated with big alloy wheels, tinted windows, etc. "Oh my." Baby said as she walked to it, her parents smiled as they watched her walking around it. "I love it." Baby said as she stepped in to check the inside. She stepped out again and went to hug her parents again. "I'm glad you love it." Jake said with a smile. "Let's go inside and enjoy the evening." Marge said and they went back inside.
Miles was looking for his sister and smiled when he saw her coming in with her parents, he went to her and hugged her tightly. "Hey." Baby said with a smile as she looked at him. "Come let's dance." Miles said and went to the dance floor, people moved and they danced a bit. "So did you get a car finally?" Miles asked with a grin. "Yes." Baby said. "What you got?" He asked curiously now. "BMW X5 custom made." Baby answered in a teasing way and his mouth dropped. "That's not fair, I only got a Pontiac." Miles said and they both laughed. "I like your car Miles." Baby said. "Baby?" Miles asked. "Yes?" Baby asked. "Why don't you go and dance again? I know you miss it." Miles said and Baby gave a sigh. "I don't know, I don't really like the attention." Baby said silently. "That's something you can learn. You know, I started to dance again too but with Lisa and just as hobby." Miles said. "I don't know Miles, I love my job." Baby said and Miles smiled at her as they twirled around. "I've invited some friends if you don't mind." Miles said. "Why should I mind that? It's a surprise party isn't it?" Baby asked and stopped dancing, she walked to the bar to get something to drink and Miles shook his head and went to his girl.
