CHAPTER 3
Frank had returned home and resumed taking Veronica to school. By Thursday, Tylo was anxious for the weekend to arrive. She was so deep in thought, that she didn't notice Veronica and her father at the mailbox.
"Hi Tylo!" She said.
Tylo said, "Hi".
While Tylo was waiting to get her mail, Veronica said, "Saturday is my birthday and I'm having a party! Want to come?"
Tylo was caught by surprise, as was Frank by the way he turned and looked at her. This was not a position she wanted to be put in. Tylo said, "I would love to come, but I already have plans for Saturday."
Veronica looked sad when she said, "Ok."
She hated lying to her, but Frank's eyes told her, as much as he would honor his daughter's request, he wasn't happy that she asked it the first place. He retrieved his mail and moved aside so Tylo could get hers.
Tylo stepped in closer to put her key in the mailbox when Frank got close enough to whisper in her ear, "Thank you."
Frank being that close sent shivers down her spine and he left her to recover from their closer encounter.
Tylo went shopping on her lunch break Friday to get Veronica a present. Not really knowing what she liked or disliked, she opted for a gift card. This would allow Veronica to pick what she would like to have.
On Saturday Tylo realized that she didn't know what time the party started and ended so she would know how long to "stay away". She decided to go and ask Frank at the same time she would give Veronica her card.
She pulled up her hair, put on glasses, and dressed in a bulky warm-up suit that concealed her body and went over to Frank's house. She rang the doorbell but was not prepared when he answered the door in very casual attire. He was truly an Adonis.
She was at a loss for words and started to stammer, "Uh, I want to um find out what time the party was?"
Frank was use to having women become flabbergasted in front of him. He found it particularly amusing with this one and raises his eyebrow.
Tylo read his body language and became irate saying, "I do not (stressing the word) intend to attend the party. It's so I know how long to be out."
Frank smiled and said, "One to four."
He had a killer smile to go along with his body, Tylo thought. Before she could respond Veronica came up behind her father.
"Dad, come on we need to start decorating for the party! Hi Tylo."
"We will start in just a minute." Frank said.
"Hi Veronica, I came over to give you this and wish you a Happy Birthday." She said as she handed Veronica the card.
"Thank you." She said as she ran back in the house.
"Well, I better let you get back to decorating." Tylo turned and walked back to her house.
A wave of sadness came over Tylo as she walked back, she would never have the opportunity to be part of a child's life.
Tylo had been 'shopping' all day at five she decided the coast should be clear to return home.
Everyone had left, except for Monica, Alex, Jake, and Cody who had stuck around. Frank was walking them out when he heard the car before he saw it. As he looked towards the end of the street, he saw a baby blue convertible corvette turn on his street. This is the first time he had seen this car and wondered who it belonged too. Just then he heard a garage door open, he turned to find that it was Tylo's.
As Tylo slowed down, she saw that there still was a few cars parked by Frank's townhouse and that he was at the end of the driveway talking to some people. As she got closer, she noticed it was the same crew that helped him move in.
As the car passed by and turned into Tylo's drive, he could clearly see Tylo was behind the wheel. She drove it right into the garage and closed the door. It wasn't until then that Frank noticed the Camry she usually drove was parked on the side.
