Jenna stood at the sink doing dishes. "Sissy look." Toby yelled. Jenna turned around and smiled. "That's great Toby. Now see if you can spell my name." Jenna said. Toby was practicing his writing. He was only 4 but he was smart. She watched as he concentrated on each letter. She smiled Toby was a miniature version of her with the same eyes, hair and freckles. Everyone thought he was her son. "Jenna you here?" A voice called from the front door. "In the kitchen Helen." Jenna yelled. Helen walked in smiling. Helen was a god send to Jenna. She had taken her and Toby in when her parents died until Jenna turned 18. She was like a member of the family. She small petite woman with bright blue eyes and gray hair and a smile that would light up a room. "Hey Toby." Helen said. "Hey Helen. Look I'm writing stuff." He said holding up his paper. "That's great Toby. Good job." She said "Why don't you go watch cartoons for a while." Helen said. "Okay." Toby said and jumped down from the chair and ran to the living room. "Jenna you look tired. You know you need to let that catering business go. It's just too much work for one person trying to run both." Helen said sitting down at the table. Jenna poured them both some coffee and sat down too. "I'm going to eventually. But the moneys good right now and I'm saving a lot of money. I have to think about Toby's future. I want him to go to college." Jenna said. "You know you have seemed different every since you came back from that cruise." Helen said. Jenna looked away. "I don't know what you mean." She said. "Did something happen?" Helen asked. "No." Jenna said. Helen looked at her. There was something Jenna wasn't telling her. She had been back a month now and just didn't seem like herself. "I'm going to visit my sister a couple of days. I just wanted to let you know." Helen said. "Okay tell her I said Hi and be careful." She said giving Helen a hug. "Okay. I'll see you in a couple of days." Helen said. Jenna watched her leave. Helen was too sharp and knew something was up. Jenna sat down with a sigh. It had been a month. He hadn't called her yet, but then again she had his number she could have called him. Numerous times she had picked the phone up to call him and then hung up again. She didn't want to intrude on his life. She felt like she was just a one night stand to him and didn't want him to feel like he was obligated to keep in touch with her. She might not have much but she had her pride. She didn't want him feeling sorry for her. Not a day had went by that she didn't think about him and the wonderful night they shared. More often than not she cried herself to sleep thinking about him. She sighed and got up. She had to go to repair a computer in about an hour. She would take Toby with her. She had too much to do to dwell on Mark.
Mark sat in the bar staring into space. "Hey Mark wake up." Glen said. Mark looked at Glen. "Sorry." He mumbled. Glen was in town visiting for a couple of days. "Okay man spill it. You just ignored the last two babes that came over here flirting with you. What's wrong?" Glen said. Mark sighed and sipped his beer. "I met this girl on that cruise I went on." Mark said. "Ahh haa. I knew something was up. And?" Glen said. "We had sex." Mark said. "Okay I still don't see the problem." Glen said. Mark sighed again. "Oh God are you in love?" Glen asked. "Hell no." Mark snapped. "Okay don't get your shorts in a knot." Glen said. "Its just she was a virgin." Mark said. "Uhh oh. You got guilt going on, forget it man, if it hadn't been you it would have been someone else." Glen said. "What the hell ya mean by that?" Mark asked. "Uhh forget it Mark. I still don't see what's wrong?" Glen said. "She was a sweet little girl Glen. She told me she loved me and I just walked away. I hurt her." Mark said. Glen sighed. For someone who wasn't in love he sure was obsessing. "I gave her my number ya know if she wanted to call me or anything and I got hers. But she hasn't called. I keep thinking about calling her, but then I think I shouldn't. I mean if she hasn't called me maybe she's over it ya know moved on and calling her bringing all this back up wouldn't be a good idea." Mark said. "Mark she's got your number let her call you. If you call her and your not interested in a relationship you may be encouraging her and just hurt her worse in the long run." Glen said. "Yea that's what I was thinking." Mark said. Glen looked at his friend. He didn't think it was as simple as that, but he wasn't going to drag the point out. Mark was the kind of man that had to figure out stuff for his self. "So how's the bike shop going?" Glen asked. "Fine. Business is great. I got enough people working for me where I only have to work when I want to. I am retired ya know." Mark said grinning. "Vince says anytime you get bored you can come back." Glen said. "I'm going to do a few special matches and some appearances in the next couple of months but nothing permanent." Mark said. "Well if you get to bored just let Vince know." Glen said. Mark's mind wandered back to Jenna and how she was doing. He really wished she would call.
