Chapter 25 Liar
15th January 1965.
"Welcome back Baby!" Lisa hugged me tight.
"Hi Lisa!" I replied. I've just got back from Italy. Jayne was bobbing in her pram, she's 8 months old.
"Come to dinner with me!" Lisa urged.
"Why?"
"I have something to tell you!"
"Again?"
"Yes, Again!"
7pm
I walked into the restaurant smoothing down my cotton dress.
"Hello, I'm here with my sister Lisa Houseman." I said to the person at the podium.
"Follow me Ma'am."
I followed him to where Lisa was nervously sitting on a velvet seat. She looked nervous because she was picking her cuticles.
"Hey Baby."
The night went off smoothly, a hour and a bit later she confessed.
"Baby, can I move in with you?"
"Why?"
"I need too, I lost my job and we can't survive on Daniel's salary. And I'm going to lose my house"
"Lisa? How irresponsible? How are you going to afford the wedding?"
"Could you pay for some?"
"Lisa, I'm tight as it is you know that! "
"I'm sorry Baby, but I'm begging!"
"Lisa, no!"
"But I'm pregnant!"
"What!?"
"I'm sorry."
"Lisa! You have a 8 month old daughter, your pregnant again, lost your job and house and asking me to pay for your wedding!"
I put down two twenty dollar notes and walked out.
"Baby come back!"
"No Lisa! Your on your own! "
How could I forgive her?
