Complicated Love
Chapter 5: Meet Officer…
Penny made her way back to the front door of the Daycare as the officer stepped in. "Daddy must of sent you, didn't he?" Penny said looking somewhat annoyed. 'He always does this' she thought rolling her eyes and turning them back to the man.
He looked at her confused. Wasn't she expecting him or someone else. Did she even want him there. Clearly he was missing something so he spoke up, "Yes your father sent me but guessing from the way your looking. This isn't what you were hoping for. But I can leave, I mean its not to late for somebody else to come in my place if that was what you were wanting," he said politely.
Penny was astounded by his generosity and kindness even due to her nature initially to him. Shaking her mind clearly she said to him, "No" smiling she continued and said, "The kids will love you. But you were right about one thing. Is it too much that girl ask to see her father every now and then besides at holiday dinners? (Penny said saddened and looking down to the floor)"
Hugging her he said, "Aw, I wouldn't trip off the boss, your father. Hey, he even deprives me of attention by giving me a little bit too much," he smiled. Seeing that she eased up from her earlier reaction to him he asked, "So what am I suppose to do? Just preach to them about my job, tell them about one of my stories that dealt with a case? I'm up for anything right about now."
Once again pleased with his attitude she began not to care that her father had broken his word again. "Well, if you can give me like 10 minutes to get organized you can present to the kids whatever you are comfortable with about sharing. As long as you realize you are talking to kids who age range from 5 years old and younger. Be my guest to just into the playroom right now if you want and get a feel of the environment," she said to him as she did one of the similar actions her father would of done by patting him on his back.
He smirked about the similarities they shared as he stepped into the play area and something automatically caught his interest. It was her. The daughter of the woman who he had met yesterday in the park. Walking over to the little girl he noticed she was seated at a table with a baggie full of cookies that had steamed up the bag. They must have still been warm.
"Hi, remember me?" he asked stepping up to her.
She wrapped him up in a hug and choosing to avoid his question just for now. "You're here and that's all that matters now. Here, I brought you these cookies," Sarah said handing them to him.
He took them with open hands and puzzled as to how she knew, "Did you know I was coming? I mean how would you know, I just found out for myself I was gong to be presenting here. But thank you for bringing them"
Sarah smiled as she replied, "I knew me and mom would eventually see you again. And I brought the cookies as bait to make you come, and see it worked. Now you're here and you can help mommy! Of course I remember you, mommy does too."
He smiled with the fact that she was thinking of him as he was about her. But it faded when he said, "So your father didn't seem to pleased to seem me. Nor did you mother seem overwhelmed to see him as well. Can you explain that to me?" he questioned.
Sarah was about to answer when her Aunt came over.
Penny walked over to the two and said, "So you've met my niece, Sarah. Entertaining the guest with your moms delicious cookies I see. Seems someone is trying to impress somebody" Penny smiled then turned to the officer and said, "Well if your ready I'll like to announce you to the class."
He nodded his head yes but turned to Sarah and said, "I'll come back to talk to you later."
He saw her little face light up and that made his day as he was now standing in front of the class with Penny. She stepped in front of him to get the attention of the class.
Clearing her throat loudly the children silenced quickly and Penny continued, "Class I'd like you to meet our guest speaker. Officer Jason Welles" …..
