Chapter 9
"It's getting late, I guess I better get going." Hayden said as she gathered the cups and the tea pot. "Here, I'll take care of that." Andy said reaching to take them from her, and he stopped as their hands touched.
Hayden felt her pulse quicken at his touch, and for just a moment, they stood there.
Taking the cups, Andy too had felt the surge that past between them. Trying to think of something to say, he smiled "Do you think you could help Ephram more with the piano? He doesn't have a teacher any more, and I believe you could help him a lot. With what I saw you do tonight, I know you could help him."
Hayden thought for a moment, it had been a long time since she had tried to teach anyone. "I'd be honored." She said, smiling. She liked Ephram, she saw a lot of herself in him. "When do you want me to start?"
"When can you?"
"I have nothing else to do, so whenever Ephram wants to start."
"Tomorrow?" he said, the words out of his mouth before he thought.
Hayden smiled, "Tomorrow is fine, but I have one request."
"And that is?" Andy said.
"I want to teach him at my house."
Andy was silent, he had wanted her to come here, but how could he say no after asking for her help. "Alright." He said after a long moment, "So, we should work out payment."
"We'll worry about that later." Hayden was glad he had agreed to her terms, it would be less of a distraction for her there.
"Wait, I don't have anyone to watch Delia? If Ephram comes to your place after school, then where will she go?"
Andy had not thought about that, and with Nina out of town, he had no other place to send her.
"I'll take her. She'll be fine out there with us, then you can pick them both up when you get off work." Hayden said, Delia was no trouble, and she liked her.
"Are you sure about this? They can be a hand full sometimes." Andy said.
"I'm sure. Don't worry about them. I can handle it."
"Okay, then tomorrow they are all yours." The smile that came across his face made her smile.
"Okay." She said as he sat the cups down on the coffee table, and walked her to her car.
"If anything comes up, I will call and let you know." He said as her opened her car door for her.
Hayden smiled as she pulled a pen from her purse. "If you're going to call me, " she said, taking his hand in hers, writing her phone number on the palm of his hand, "you'll need this."
"Yeah, I guess that would help." He almost laughed. "Well, goodnight, Hayden."
"Good night." She said. Andy stood there as she drove away. Turning to go back into the house, he laughed, this was going to be interesting.
