This is a story based on Dirty Dancing mixed with a little from Road House and a bit from Gilmore Girls with a cowboy theme and some of my own mind, though some bits (especially most horses) come from my real life (past and present). So I do not own anything that is related to the movies/series except for that from my own mind and life.
I do hope you enjoy the story and leave a review if you feel like writing one.
P.S.: My English is still not the best since I'm not native in English so please bare with me on some mistakes I made.
Thanks and enjoy.
Chapter 6
A couple of days went by, Baby and Penny got almost the whole resort covered.
"I need to talk with Max about the idea of having a computer corner for the guests." Penny said.
"Yeah, let's do it together. We might be a lot more convincing that way." Baby said, Penny hugged her.
"What must I do without you?" Baby asked.
"When is the wedding?" Penny asked sarcastically, they both laughed.
"Let's go and see if we can have a meeting with Max tomorrow." Baby said.
They locked the office and walked to Max's office. Baby knocked on the door.
"Enter." It was Max. Baby and Penny went inside, they saw Max standing next to a younger guy.
"Hey girls, how is business going?" Max asked with a smile.
"We are almost done." Penny said.
"We actually came to ask if you have time for a meeting tomorrow." Baby said.
"A meeting? What for Baby?" Max asked.
"Think it's better to explain in a meeting." Baby said with a smile now.
"Alright, come here after lunch." Max said.
The girls nodded and walked to the door again. Baby looked behind her and saw the younger guy biting his lip while he was watching her. Baby rolled her eyes and the girls quickly walked to their cabin.
"Have you seen how that guy was looking at you?" Penny asked as they sat down with a drink, Penny opened her laptop and checked her e-mail.
"Yeah, he is a bit creepy. Who is he?" Baby asked.
"No idea, but my guess is that we will find that out soon." Penny said smiling at Baby.
"How's the training with the barrel run?" Penny asked.
"It's great, I love it. Tomorrow Johnny will let me do a proper run, but slow so I can get use to the turns and such." Baby said.
Baby smiled while taking her phone and scrolled through her Facebook page. Penny watches Baby and thought about her conversation with Johnny two days ago. It was bothering her, she never told Baby from whom she got pregnant, but she had no idea how Baby would react to this news. Penny gave a little sigh, Baby looks at her and smiled.
"What's the matter Pen?" Baby asked.
"Baby." Penny said.
"Yeah?" Baby said, now curiously looking at Penny.
"You know, I never told you from whom I got pregnant." Penny said.
"Is that important?" Baby asked.
"Maybe in a way, for the last few days it's bothering me a bit that I haven't told you earlier." Penny said.
"Well, tell me then." Baby said, now smiling and waiting for Penny to tell her.
"It was from Johnny." Penny said.
Penny held her breath, Baby's mouth went open and then close again. Like she wanted to say something, but had no clue what.
"Does he know?" Baby asked after a minute or so.
"Yeah, after your first training, when you were taking care of Nibbit, we talked." Penny said.
"You're not angry that I haven't told you before?" Penny asked.
"Penny." Baby said and went to sit next to Penny, hugging her.
"I had no clue about Johnny before this job, you never really told me anything about him before either. How can I be angry? I'm not even dating him or so, he's just my trainer and he is becoming my friend, and hopefully your friend again as well." Baby said, Penny let out a very deep sigh.
"How did he actually respond to it?" Baby asked curious.
"He was, I don't know, he said if he had known it was from him he would have stayed with me. But I can't imagine he would have been happy if he did, it's better this way." Penny said, Baby kissed her cheek and they both giggled a bit.
"So you don't regret the abortion?" Baby asked.
"No, not one moment." Penny said.
"I'm actually just thankful I was there and you were walking by. You're my guardian angel Baby." Penny said.
"And you're my lucky charm." Baby said. Penny laid her head on Baby's shoulder and looked at her laptop again.
"Was Johnny your first?" Baby asked curiously after a moment.
It came into her head and made her really curious, Penny lifted her head up and looked at Baby. Then she started to giggle.
"I take that as a yes." Baby said and they both giggled now.
"How was he?" Baby asked.
"You ask a lot of questions." Penny said.
"You made me curious." Baby said.
"I don't know, it's a long time ago and back then I guess I found him good but I had no experience so I can't really tell." Penny said, Baby giggled again.
"Stop it Baby." Penny said, Baby started to laugh now.
"Baby!" Penny said.
It only made Baby laugh harder. Penny watches Baby and rolled her eyes, but she was smiling anyway, glad that Baby wasn't angry. She laid her laptop aside.
"Shall we go to the gazebo?" Penny asked.
"What do you want to do there?" Baby asked.
"Dance. Let's dance again, I know that you want to. I'm missing it a bit." Penny said.
"Let's go!" Baby said.
She was standing up and walked to the door. Penny stood up as well and followed Baby outside. They stood against the railing from the gazebo, watching the guests dance. Baby's eyes have caught Johnny, who was entertaining the guests. Max and the guy were walking around the gazebo, watching the guests too and talking softly. Max spotted Baby and Penny and walked to them.
"Hey girls, enjoying the free time?" Max asked, the girls looked at him.
"Yes, very much." Baby answered with a smile.
"I want you two to meet my grandson Neil." Max said and laid his hand on Neil's shoulder. Neil smiles at the girls.
"Hello, I'm Baby. Well, not really Baby but it's how everyone calls me." Baby said and stuck her hand out, Neil shook her hand and smiled.
"I'm Penny." Penny said.
"Nice to meet you ladies. So, Max here told me you two are the IT team?" Neil asked with a curious smile.
"Yeah, we're not totally finished yet but at least people can go on the internet already." Baby said.
"Great, I'm glad my grandfather listened to me." Neil said.
A guy came to Penny and asked her for a dance, Penny smiled and walked with him to the dance floor to dance.
"Neil, I need to arrange something. I will see you at dinner." Max said and walked away.
It was silent for some moments, Baby was looking at the dancing people again. Johnny saw baby from the corner of his eye, then he spotted Neil and his mood dropped. Neil watched the people too, then he spotted Johnny.
"I see that Johnny is back." Neil said.
His hands went to his hips. Baby watched Neil and saw the transformation, she saw that Neil somehow feels threaten by Johnny, she wondered why.
"He's taking care of the horses here." Baby said.
"Oh, so Max has asked him back then." Neil said a bit agitated.
"What's the matter?" Baby asked curiously, being a bit bluntly as well since she didn't know Neil at all and just had met him today.
"Nothing, just watch out with him." Neil said and walked away.
Baby was confused as she looked after Neil, who nearly ran to the main building, Baby shook her head and looked at the dancing people again but instead of seeing people, she looked straight at Johnny. He had his hands in his pockets.
"Hey." Baby said.
"Hey. You wanna dance?" Johnny asked, trying to smile.
"Sure." Baby said and walked with him to the dance floor. They danced the basics of the Mambo, since the music has changed.
"I saw Neil being here." Johnny said, Baby watched his face.
"Yeah, Max just introduced Pen and me to him." Baby said.
"What's the matter?" She asked.
"The little wimp made my life miserable four years ago." Johnny said in an hateful tone.
"You think he will be making your life miserable again?" Baby asked as they turned. Penny was watching them as she still was dancing with the guy.
"Yeah, he is a little bastard." Johnny said.
Baby only watched him. Johnny didn't look at her, as if he was trying to hide his frustrations from Baby. She smiled and moved closer to him, it made him react by looking at her now. Baby was still smiling, Johnny took a deep breath but he turned with her. Baby saw his frustrations disappear, Baby's hand went from his shoulder to his neck slowly. She saw him obviously enjoying this moment and it made her wonder, she didn't really had a good close look at Johnny's reactions towards her but now she did and she begins to think that Penny is right all along about him. The music stopped and Baby stopped dancing.
"I'm going for a walk, care to join me?" Baby asked silently.
Johnny gave her a half smile now and a nod. They walked away, Penny smiling at them. Vivian made little eyes as she was staring at them the whole time. Billy walked around the gazebo, watching the people and taking care of the music, he had seen the whole scene between Baby and Johnny as well. He looked at where Penny was, she caught his glare and his grin. Penny shook her head and stopped dancing, she walked to him.
"I think it is going to happen. Shall we spy on them? I want to win this bet." Billy whispered, Penny chuckled a bit while shaking her head.
"You're crazy, but yeah I am curious as well. Let's go." She whispered, they walked away.
Johnny and Baby walked to the lake slowly, Johnny had his hands in his pockets.
"You're feeling calm now?" Baby asked.
"A little bit." Johnny whispered, he glanced at Baby for a bit.
"Let's have a look at the horses." Baby whispered.
They walked towards the stables in silence, Baby felt a little awkward. She didn't know what to talk about. They arrived at the stables after some time, it was already getting darker outside. They stood still and faced each other. They started to talk at the same time, then stopped. They did it again, Johnny chuckled a little.
"You go first." Baby said. Johnny looked down for a moment.
"I don't know how to say it." Johnny said.
"Say what?" Baby asked.
"You're putting my world upside down Baby." He whispered as he looks up at her again.
"In a bad way or a good way?" Baby asked after a moment, he saw her smiling.
"In a good way, I don't know how to deal with these feelings." Johnny whispered.
"You don't deal with feelings, you let them happen or you ignore them." Baby said.
On that moment Johnny leaned forward and gave Baby a quick but soft kiss. Baby was a bit astonished but not scared. Billy and Penny were hiding behind a tree.
"Yes, I win." Billy whispered.
"Damn it." Penny whispered.
"Look at them Billy, they're so cute." Penny whispered again.
Billy chuckled a bit. Baby smiled a little.
"I did not expected that." She whispered.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't." Johnny whispered and wanted to step back.
"I liked it, it was spontaneous. I like that." Baby whispered.
Her cheeks flushed a shade redder. Johnny kept looking at her, but then he stepped closer again and kissed her again. This time a little longer than a second, Baby kissed him back. After, what seems like ages, Johnny stopped the kiss and took a deep breath. Baby was amazed. She looked in his eyes, his amazing blue eyes seemed to have gotten a little darker but that could have been because it is getting darker. She watched how he bit his lip a little, which was really sexy.
"You may do that more often." Baby whispered, he gave her a half smile now.
"Let's go to the staff quarters for dinner and after for a dance, what you think?" Johnny asked.
"Sounds lovely, may Penny and Billy join us?" Baby asked.
"Yeah, why you ask?" Johnny asked a bit surprised.
"Because they're spying on us." Baby said a little louder on purpose.
Baby looked at the tree and saw two heads looking at her and Johnny. She chuckled and shook her head.
"They are weird these days." Johnny said but chuckled.
"I like weirdness." Baby whispered and Johnny chuckled again.
"They are lovely. I hope you and Pen get to be friends again. I mean, good friends." Baby whispered.
Johnny laid his arm around Baby's shoulder, she crossed her arms and they walk slowly to the tree.
"I would love that to happen, and besides, I have no choice, Penny is plastered to you." He said in a teasing tone, Baby giggled as she looked at him for a second, he smiled at her.
"Come on you two. Dinner time." Baby said as they were near the tree. Penny and Billy showed themselves.
"How did you know we were here?" Billy asked.
"I have an obsolete hearing." Baby teased him, Penny giggled.
"I'm joking, but I did heard noises behind me when Johnny and I were walking towards here. I had a peek and saw you two quickly hiding." Baby said and winked.
"Let's go." Johnny said.
