Chapter40#

Amy sat at home with Maxine and Lauren.

Lauren was reading.

Maxine was filling out papers.

Amy was on the phone.

"No Stu sweetie you're not picking me up"Amy argued.

"because it is bad luck to see the bride."

"yes"

"I love you too see you tomorrow"

"Mom?"Lauren said glancing at Amy.

"yeah?"

"tomorrow....will you and Stu ignore me?"

"no why?"

"well I can still talk to you right?"

"of course"

"Ok"

"why would you need to know something like that?"

"because you are getting married won't you be busy?"

"no"

"ok then can you help me with this book report"

"Sure what is it?"Amy asked getting down on the floor with Lauren.

"A book on true love"

"OK"

"this man and his friend are in love but the girl is getting married even though she does not love the man she is engaged to and...."

"OK Lauren ask grandma"Amy said leaving the room.

"what is wrong with her?"Lauren asked clueless.

"Oh she is ok"Maxine said setting her papers aside.

Amy walked into the kitchen and got a drink of water.

The phone started to ring and Amy picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Amy this is Donna"

"Hi Donna whats up?"

"I can't seem to reach Kyle"

"where is he?"

"He went with Lily and Lila camping there is no phone number"

"well knowing Kyle maybe he didn't think of leaving a number"

"I was just wondering if you had a number"

"No but why do you need it"

"I found a bridal shop who has Lily's dress I need her size"

"well try Kyle's cell"

"He has it turned off"

"Oh well judging by the situation I'd say he is busy"

"doing what?"

"Who knows its Kyle"

"OK well if he calls you let me know"

"Ok bye"

"Bye see you tomorrow"

"yep"

Amy hung up the phone and finished drinking her water.

The phone rang again and Amy answered it once more.

"Hello?"

"hi is Lauren there??"

"sure who is this??"

"Lila"

"ok hang on"

"LAUREN!!PHONE"Amy yelled.

"Hey mom who is it?"Lauren asked taking the phone.

"It's Lila tell her to tell Lily to call Donna and don't stay on to long"

"ok"

Amy walked into the living room where Maxine was still sitting.

"who called?"

"first Donna then Lila"

"Oh thats nice"

"Yeah"

"Amy are you having second thoughts about Stu?"

"yeah but every bride does"

"well yeah but not every bride is in love...with somebody else"

"I'm not"

"Amy"

"I'M NOT!!"

Amy stood up and stormed upstairs.

"Goodnight gramma"Lauren said heaidng upstairs.

"night Lauren"

"Guess what"

"what?"

"Lila's dog ate a bat"

"cool"

Lily had finished tucking Lila in for the second time.

"Now go to sleep we have a wedding to go to tomorrow"

"Who is getting married?"

"Lauren's mom"

"neat"

"can Lauren be in your wedding too?"Lila asked sweetly

"sure"

"who all is in you and daddy's weeding?"

"well Donna is the maid of honor you and Lauren are bridesmaids"

"And I don't know who Daddy is having in the wedding"

"cool"

"yeah now go to sleep for real"

"ok"

"Remember if you need me in the night I'll be across the hall and Daddy is upstairs by the bathroom"

"OK"

"night"

"night"

Lily gave Lila a quick kiss on the forehead then left leaving the door half open.

"Well It's late I should go to bed"Lily said flopping down on the couch.

"what time is it?"Kyle asked.

"I don't know my watch stopped"

"oh"

"Donna has tried to call us"

"so?"

"she could not get through"

"there are no phones here thats why"

"No she could not get through cause you turned off your cellphone and she does not have my number"

"so?"

"well she needed my dress size"

"so?"

"If she does not get my dress size I won't have a wedding dress"

"Sorry next time I'll leave my cell on"

"And as soon as we get back I'll give her my number"

"ok"

"goodnight"

"goodnight"

Lily went to her room across from Lila's.

Kyle stayed up a bit longer then went upstairs to his room.
