CHAPTER 3"Oh no!", Johnny wailed as Violet Black's form approached his cabin. "What is it?", asked Baby, rolling over. "We've got company." "Figures." "Hello, is anyone home?" "Maybe if we're really quiet she'll go away", Johnny said, looking hopeful. "Come on get dressed", Baby sighed. A minute later and Johnny answered the door.
"Well hello there, handsome.", swaggered Violet. "Miss Black, is there something in particular I can do for you, or did you just get lost on the way back to your own cabin. Which by the way is where you should be headed. I'm sure your husband wouldn't be pleased to see you over here." A little miffed Violet said "Let's have dinner, you and I. I'll tell you everything you need to know about my husband then." With that, she started to walk away. Suddenly, she whipped around and said, "Pick me up about seven."
"Ahhh", Johnny groaned. "Miss Black wait", he called after her. "Yes darling", she replied. "I must respectfully decline your dinner offer", he said trying not to say what was really on his mind. "Nonsense", snorted Violet, "Seven, and don't be late." This woman just doesn't take a hint, thought Johnny. Well, there was no way he was going to pick her up under any circumstances.
"You were right! I can't believe you were right!" "I told you they definitely broke up", bragged Lela. "So let me get this straight", Donna said, "you went over there, asked him about Baby, and without any warning whatsoever he spilled the whole story!" "You got it", bragged Lela, once again. "Hey guys", said two other girls from Baby's sorority, "what's the story on Baby?" This was Lela's big moment. Everyone turned to her excitedly. Taking a deep breath, she began her story.
"The night before Baby and Mike broke up, Baby got a call from her old boyfriend Johnny. Apparently he wanted her to come visit. When she told this to Mike he said that he didn't approve and that he wouldn't let her go. So she dumped him saying that she never really fell out of love with the Johnny guy anyway. Mike was going to apologize, but Baby left with her family early that morning and he didn't get a chance."
Everyone stared at Lela blankly. Finally Donna broke the silence. "That is so sad", she said. "Oh I don't know", said Lela, "I'd like to see this Johnny guy for myself." "Then why don't we?!"
Johnny and Baby approached Violet's cabin. It was seven o'clock on the dot so Johnny hoped Violet was ready to go. He wanted this evening to be over as soon as possible. As far as he was concerned he had better things to do with his time than indulge a middle aged woman about what life might be like if she weren't married. Not to mention he was honestly really tired. Between giving lessons and practicing for the dance competition he hadn't had a moment off his feet.
They rang the doorbell. Violet answered by calling, "come on in darling. I'll be out in a minute." Baby gave Johnny that now-I-know-why-you-wanted-me-here look. About five minutes later Violet came strutting out. "I'm ready to go now", she called. As soon as she came into the main room her face contorted in a look that was not distinguishable between envy or just plain hatred. "So Johnny", she said in her iciest tone, "I see you've brought a chaperone. Now that was thoughtful, but I really don't think it will be necessary." Then she turned to Baby. "You can go on home dear. However much he's paying you isn't nearly enough."
Johnny and Baby shrugged as they made their way toward the front door. They weren't at all surprised at Violet's behavior. Nor were they surprised to hear her call, "I'd be very careful if I were you Johnny Castle. I have friends in high places all over the country. Next time you looking for work and can't get it, you remember Violet Black!" Johnny turned around to face Violet's cabin. "Yeah", he called. "Friends, I bet you do. There's two things that have been in every hotel room I the country. The Bible and Violet Black." Just for good measure Baby added, "Just FYI there are those of us who don't have to pay our escorts."
