Chapter 10
Hours later, the plane landed and everyone got off. Jessice headed to get her bags and then off to find her dad. She stayed in the seating area and waited. She saw mom instead. Michelle made her way over.
"Where's dad?" Jessica asked.
"He's watching the grandkids." Michelle answered.
Jessica grabbed her bags and followed her mom out of the airport and to the car. Jessica put her bags in the backseat.
"So when't the appointment." Jessica asked.
"Tomorrow afternoon." Michelle answered.
"Okay." Jessica said.
Michelle drove away from the airport and headed home.
"So what's really wrong?" Michelle asked.
"It's nothing, mom." Jessica answered.
"I'll find out later." Michelle said.
"I know." Jessica replied.
"Anyway, what do you want for dinner." Michelle asked.
"Anything is fine." Jessica answered.
Michelle knew something was bothering her daughter and just knew Jessica would tell Dusty.
Michelle parked the car and hout later and both women got out. Jessica grabbed her bags and followed her mom into the house. Jessica took her bags up to her room. She then headed back downstairs and heard voices in the kitchen. So Jessica headed to the kitchen and saw both parents and the gradkids. Jessica walked in and everyone saw her.
"Hi." Jessica said.
Dusty got up and headed towards his daughter and hugged her. Jessica hugged back. When her dad finally let her go, Jessica just looked at him.
"So what's wrong?" Dusty asked.
"I'm scared." Jessica answered.
"Don't be, we won't let anything happen to you." Dusty said.
"But it still scares me." Jessica replied.
"I know but it will be okay." Dusty said.
"So what else is new." Michelle asked.
"Not much besides working with Cody after I get my back taken care of." Jessica answered.
"So what do you want for dinner." Michelle asked.
"Anything is fine. I haven't eaten since breakfast." Jessica answered.
Michelle picked up the phone and ordered pizza. It was the easiest thing since the kids were there.
"Why don't you go get a shower before dinner." Dusty said.
"Good idea." Jessica replied.
Jessica left the kitchen and headed back upstairs to her room. She got what she needed and headed to her bathroom.
Half an hour later, Jessica was finished with her shower. She went to get dressed when her cell rang.
"Hello."
"How are you."
"I'm fine Randy."
"That's good."
"You can't possibly miss me already."
"Yes I can."
"Randy, you need to find a hobby."
"I'd have one if you were here."
"You really need something to keep you busy while I'm gone."
"Anyway what were you doing before I called."
"Took a shower and was about to get dressed."
"You in a towel, I like that thought."
"Get you mind out of the gutter, Randy."
"Alright, I'll let you finish getting dressed. So I'll call later."
"Alright."
They hung up and soon after Jessica finished getting dressed and then left her room. She headed back downstairs and to the kitchen.
"Feel better." Dusty asked.
"Much better." Jessica answered.
"Are you sure about working with the guys." Dusty asked.
"You know as well as I do that you do or go where they tell you." Jessica answered.
"I know." Dusty said.
"Just be thankful they have me working with Cody." Jessica replied.
"Oh I am but I'm not happy about you working with Randy." Dusty said.
"Don't worry about it so much." Jessica replied.
"I can't help it with you." Dusty said.
"Cody's the same." Jessica replied.
"Has Randy tried anything." Dusty asked.
"Not yet." Jessica answered.
"That's good." Dusty said.
"What's wrong with Randy?" Jessica asked.
"I don't like the way they have him going." Dusty answered.
"There's something else." Jessica said.
"I don't mind the storyline but I just don't want anything happening to you." Dusty replied.
"Dad let me make my own mistakes." Jessica said.
"What are you saying?" Dusty asked.
"I'm saying that if I date Randy, you need to let me make that mistake ever if it's not." Jessica answered.
"It's a fair request so if he breaks your heart, you'll still have us." Dusty said.
"I know and I love you for it." Jessica replied.
"Anyway dinner will be here any minute so help get the kids ready." Michelle said.
Michelle left the kitchen and Jessica helped her dad with the grand kids. Not to long later, the pizza arrived. Everyone sat down to eat.
