She's Still Out There
Chapter Two
Liz and Maria entered the Crashdown with the door making a little 'ding' noise.
"What did you order?" Maria asked.
"A burger and chicken nuggets for Casey," the approached the counter and sat at the stools.
"Nothing for you?"
"I can't keep anything down,"
"Hey Liz!" one of the waitresses, Sophie, greeted as she came to the counter. "What brings you two here?"
"Hey Sophie, I ordered an Asteroid Burger and E.T. nuggets,"
"Right, order 646. The burger is still cooking, I'll tell you when its ready. I'll be back in a few I've got to serve some food." Sophie walked back to the kitchen.
"When are you going to tell him?" Maria asked for the millionth time.
"When I'm ready, stop bugging me about it,"
Ding
The two turned slightly in their stools to see Kyle Valenti enter the restaurant, pushing a triplet stroller.
"Hey Kyle," Maria said. He approached the two.
"Hey, what are you two doing here?"
"Picking up dinner," Liz explained. "You?"
"Just taking the kids for a walk,"
Kyle had three children, Lucy, Milo and Noel. Their mother never told Kyle that she was pregnant. Seven months she just showed up on his doorstep with the triplets. After inviting her in he left the living room to get a drink for her and when he returned she was gone.
"They are so cute!" Maria exclaimed. "Milo looks just like you."
"I know," Kyle said.
"How are you doing with them Kyle?" Liz asked.
"Uh pretty good I guess…I haven't had a good night sleep in seven months but I'm good,"
"That's good,"
"Here you go Liz," Sophie placed the Styrofoam packages on the counter in front of Liz and Maria.
"Thanks Sophie," Liz placed the money on the table. "Kyle, wanna bring the kids over?"
"No thanks, I gotta head home soon and feed them,"
"Okay, we'll see you later," Liz and Maria took the food and walked out. "Oh excuse me." Maria said as they almost bumped into a woman entering the store. She had long auburn hair and dark sunglasses covering her eyes. Liz looked at her momentarily, as if there was something familiar about the woman but kept walking.
The woman walked up to the counter, sitting on a stool next to Kyle. She looked over at the two children in the stroller and one in Kyle's arms. "You have beautiful children." She said.
"Huh? Oh thanks," Kyle replied.
"You and your wife must be proud,"
"I don't have a wife…their mother left me…"
"I'm sorry," she replied.
"Not your fault," he finally looked up at the woman, seeing something familiar in her face. "Uh…how long have you lived in Roswell?"
"I just got off a bus ten minutes ago, I've never been here before,"
"Would you like me to show you around?"
She smiled. "That'd be great. By the way I'm Nicky."
"Kyle,"
"Nice to meet you,"
"You too, how about I buy you some dinner before I show you around,"
"You don't have to,"
"Are you two gonna order anything?" Sophie asked.
"Yes, we'll have two Asteroid Burgers," Kyle told.
"Coming right up," Sophie left.
Kyle and Nicky began to talk. Her plan was going well. All she had to do was wedge into their lives once again and take back what was hers.
