CHAPTER 22
Tylo loved her niece and nephew; they were the kids that she would not have. Marlene was a great cook and dinner was great as usual. They had gone in the kitchen to do the dishes and catch up.
"So girlfriend, I heard you have a new neighbor. I also heard Gary say it seemed like he was a single dad."
"Yeah, he is good looking to boot. Yet he's cold one minute, hot the next. I really need to keep my distance from him."
"Oh come on the old Tylo would have had him eating out of her hands."
"The old Tylo would not have looked at a single dad."
"So, what's the deal?"
"There is none, he has a seven year old daughter, whose mother died two years ago. I don't think her father knows what he wants."
"Are you sure?"
"Okay, he asked me to watch her because his job takes him out of town. Then he has this elderly lady watch her the next time, only his daughter wanted me to watch her. So I helped out and when he came home he went off on me. Bottom line accused me of using his daughter to get to him."
"Really, talk about arrogance."
"Oh it gets better, he then has to go back out of town and he doesn't have anyone to watch his daughter. So the shithead that he is has to humble himself to ask me to watch her."
"Did you?"
"After I made him gravel a little, then I did but told him it was because of his daughter not him."
"Making of a good love/hate relationship."
"Which I don't need right now."
"You need something girlfriend!" Marlene gave Tylo a big hug.
They finished the dishes, joined Gary and the kids. When she got together with her brother and his family, she forgot about her problems. Before long she had the kids tucked in and ready for bed herself.
Frank did not hear or see Tylo's Camry in the driveway all night, when he looked at the kitchen clock it was well after two am. Tylo must be spending her last night with him before his wife gets back.
Tylo stayed over at Gary's house and went to work from there. Marlene had given her a care package to take home, which was homemade lasagna. She thought she would share it with Frank since he was still trying to recouparate.
Tylo put the lasagna on the table and went to see Frank. She rang the doorbell and Veronica answered.
"Hey, sweetie, Can you ask you Dad if I can come in for a minute?"
"Dad, Tylo wants to know if it's ok to come in?" Veronica shouted.
"Yeah." Frank yelled back.
"Dad's in the kitchen hobbling."
Tylo walked into to the kitchen to find Frank up against the counter. "How's the leg?"
"I'll survive."
"Never doubted it. I have a pan of lasagna left over from yesterday and wanted to know if you and Veronica would like to share it with me?"
"Was it too much for you and your date to eat or did you never get around to it? Couldn't leave the evidence for his wife to see right?" Frank answered.
Tylo felt the sting of his remark, so he thought she nothing better than a slut said, "That was uncalled for?"
"Was it? You play the ugly duckling so well except with him. For him you're a swan."
She was trying not to lose it, she was so mad that she knew the tears were coming said, "That was a very hurtful to say."
"Truth always hurts." He replied.
She started to walk towards the door then turned around and said, "Just for the record, five years ago I suffered a major setback in my life, just as I was getting back on track two years ago I suffered another one. He was there for both of them, the person we were referring to as coming back was the Tylo he knew before the first setback, and the lasagna was from his wife who was present at the dinner."
By the time she finished she was crying so hard she couldn't see straight, but turned to walk out when Veronica stopped her. "Not now sweetie." Tylo told her as she walked out the door.
Veronica looked at Frank and said, "Dad why did you make Tylo cry?"
Frank replied, "It's adult thing between Tylo and me." He knew he had royally screwed things up.
