Lula's Secrets continues.
It wasn't long before Reid and his daughter developed a close relationship. She talked with him every day on the phone and e-mailed him nearly every day. She thought it was neat when he was in a hotel room working on a case. Of course he couldn't talk about the case but that was okay.
Lula could often for long periods of time without having sex. When she was on Tv, her co-stars thought she was very weird. Most of them were out having sex all the time. She didn't really care that much for it. Her deceased boyfriend wanted it all the time when he was alive and after nearly 3 years of this, Lula was tired of it. There was such a thing as too much sex. If her deceased boyfriend wasn't so sex crazed when he was alive, she wouldn't have believed it.
"Well, you know Emily, it's been rumored that Lula is a lesbian." Said Joanne Prentriss to her daughter. The two women were sitting on the front porch watching the sun set.
"You've got to be kidding me." Said Emily staring at her mother.
"I've never seen her with a man. Several men have asked her out and she turns them down. Of course she has a child which she told me was conceived the natural way so…
"Mom, the type of men that are around here, I would turn them down as well…
"Well, who knows, it's really none of my business."
Lula knew who had started the rumor about her. Stewart Parks. She had turned him down for a date and he was angry about it. She knew he was the one who posted the blog about her but she couldn't prove it. Didn't really matter. People came to the Island to see her not Stewart Parks.
She was very careful about who she exposed her daughter to having seen what happened when parents weren't careful about who they hung out with. One couple's 12 year old daughter was raped by a convicted sex offender/murderer who had escaped from prison and had been hanging around the set. He was a good liar and had gotten in by lying about himself and who he was. He made Lula very uncomfortable while she was on the set. The story made world headlines. The man escaped and went to Europe. He was arrested in England and soon would be heading back to the States.
Lula knew both the parents. They were decent people who had no common sense and weren't careful. Another time the couple had hired a convicted felon to do maintenance in their home and the felon had stolen money and jewelry and then fled.
Others were train wrecks and just being around them pulled you down. Lula didn't get on the train or into the train wrecks.
Lula home schooled her daughter. Having known what happened to Hannah's father, she was determined that this was not going to happen to her daughter. It was getting more and more difficult as Hannah was about as intelligent as she was. Thankfully there was a gifted school in Sarasota which started at age 7.
IQ of 189. Lula was floored. Reid thought this was great that someone else was more intelligent than he was. Lula was concerned about what to do with her as she got older. She wanted to make sure that she was socialized property (something Reid wasn't). There wasn't much guidance out there on what to do. Reid gave her the number of the host family he lived with and she called them. Lula didn't tell anyone about her daughter's IQ. It was best not to. People in the island thought her daughter was a very strange unusual child..
Reid and Lula were basically on the same page (both of them could go for long periods of time without having sex). It was safer if they resumed their relationship. Reid had told his co-workers about his daughter and their relationship. Emily was surprised and so was her mom when Emily told her.
