The Greatest Gift of All
Chapter 10
Girls Just Want To Have Fun
"So, Lucy, did you get any sleep last night?" Sarah asked her sister-in- law. The bride and four bridesmaids were out pampering themselves Christmas Eve morning with manicures and massages.
"Me! Yeah, I slept like a baby," Lucy told her.
"Yep, she slept like a baby alright. . .a baby with colic," Mary told the others.
"You were up all night crying," Patti-Mary asked.
"Pretty close," Mary answered. "She was tossing and turning all night though."
"It might have been funny if she hadn't kept me up all night," Ruthie added.
"I was not up all night. Don't listen to them. I got a little sleep. . .an hour or two. . .maybe. I would have gotten more except that Mary was snoring."
"That is true," Ruthie agreed. "Mary was having a little party in my bed." She imitated Mary's snoring.
"So, not funny, Ruthie," Mary told her.
"No, it wasn't. Between Lucy tossing and turning and you snoring, I got even less sleep then the two of you."
"You could have went down and slept on the couch," Sarah told her.
"Now you tell me! Where were you when I needed you?"
"In bed with Matt; and Matt doesn't snore. Although he does breathe hard; sometimes I wonder if he's dreaming about running a 30 mile marathon."
"Hey, Patti-Mary, I've been meaning to ask you something," Lucy said.
"Yeah, what's that? You want me to tell you some embarrassing stories about my brother?" she smiled.
"I was going to ask you if you have a boyfriend, but hey, you got any good stories to tell?" Lucy perked up.
Patti-Mary laughed. "Yeah, I do, but I promised Kevin I wouldn't. I think he thought you might ask."
"So, do you have a boyfriend?" Mary repeated Lucy's question.
"Yes, actually, I do. It's not serious or anything, but he's sweet. He's a guy I know from school." Patti-Mary was attending college in San Francisco. "If it ever becomes serious, I may bring him by Glen Oak and let Kevin torture him for awhile that way I know if he really loves me or not. I figure if he doesn't dump me after being tortured by Kevin then he probably the one." She reasoned.
"Good point," Ruthie smiled. "I know what it's like to be tortured by Kevin. I'd dump Lucy if I could."
"Kevin can get in that police officer mode even when he's not at work, can't he?"
"Oh, yeah. He's done it with me before," Ruthie nodded.
"What about you, Mary?" Patti-Mary asked. "You have a boyfriend?"
"Nah, not at the moment," she said quickly.
"I know the perfect guy for you," Patti-Mary smiled slyly.
"Oh, really? Someone you know from school?" Mary asked with interest.
"Nope!"
"Dare I ask then?"
"I was thinking about my brother, you know, Ben, the guy you used to date."
"Uh, no, I don't think so," Mary said hesitantly.
"Are you sure?"
"I thought Ben had a girlfriend."
"No, he dumped her a few week's ago. I don't think he ever got over you. You really ought to think about giving him another chance, Mary."
Mary quietly studied her newly manicured fingernails and didn't answer. The others dropped the subject of Ben, but Mary continued to think about him. * Did he really dump his girlfriend because he never got over me? Could he still be in love with me after all this time? *
