Chapter Six

Lela and Donna sat alone in their cabin. By now it was well past midnight. Due to their tipsy state it had taken them longer than usual to get back to the resort and then back to the cabin. Now that both of them had showered and brushed their teeth they started talking. "I had no idea that Baby could dance", Lela said between yawns.

"Apparently there are a lot of things we didn't know about Baby", said Donna, who was much more keen on thinking things through. "Now that she's here she seems like a whole different person than she was at college. She seems so happy. Maybe we were wrong to assume she and Mike were meant to be. She's definitely head over heels for Johnny. But is it true love, or is just that he's the first boy she ever kissed and she's a little clingy?"
Mike was growing restless. Why hadn't Baby called him or showed up at his door to say how sorry she was? Was hadn't Lela called from the middle of a party saying that Baby would be over in about three hours because she had finally realized that leaving him was the biggest mistake of her life? Finally these questions got the better of him. He called Kellerman's and asked to talk to Lela Walker and Donna Smith.
Now even though it was well past noon Lela and Donna were both a little hung over. So they had been sleeping when they were paged by the main lodge to come and take a phone call. They weren't at all happy about it to say the least. "Hello", they answered the phone sounding more than a little annoyed.

"What's the news?" came a loud reply from the other end of the connection.
"Mike?" they both asked at the same time.  "When is Baby coming back?" he asked impatiently, making it very clear he had no time for pleasantries. "Whenever her vacations over I guess," said Lela.

"Well then when is she going to call?"

"To say what", asked Lela, once again totally missing the point and that breaking up wit me was a foolish and rash decision."
Donna rolled her eyes. She found herself wondering, could Mike be any more conceited? "Look", Donna stepped in, "Baby seems happy, and as her friends we would never jeopardize that."

 "What are you talking about?" Mike was really angry now. "When you left you even said she was better off with me!"

 "That was before we got here. I've never seen her like this. She's relaxed, confidant, brave. Did you know that she dances? I don't mean she does a little Mambo here and there. We're talking lifts and all. She's wonderful!" That was all Mike needed to hear. He hung up and jumped in old junker car. He was going to Kellerman's.

"Is Mike seriously coming all the way here?", asked Lela, wide eyed.
"Looks like. Maybe we should tell Baby to be expecting a not-so- pleasant visitor in the next three to four hours." Donna's face looked as glum as Lela felt. "Gee", Lela sighed, "I really hate having to ruin Baby's vacation like that." "Yeah", me too, but what other option have we got? She'd be better off hearing it from us first." Slowly, knowing what bad news they were having to deliver they headed down toward Baby's cabin.
Knock, knock, knock, came the sound from the door. Baby peeked out the window. She could her two friends standing outside. They were who she was hoping they would be. With a g stepped outside. "I don't want to hear it", she said immediately.

 "We're not here about last night, but there's something we need to tell you." Donna looked at Baby hoping they'd get the chance to tell her what bad weather was coming.

"Although you guys were really impressive on the dance floor, and off the dance floor, I'm sure," said Lela. Donna and Baby both shot her glances that could kill. From that moment on she kept her mouth shut.
"Mike's coming here?" Baby stared at Donna. "Why?"

"Well our original reason for coming here was to convince you that the two of you were the perfect couple. But when we saw you with that Johnny guy we both thought. Boy, were we wrong. Anyway so he called us this morning to ask when you going to get home, as though you would be that easily swayed. We told him that now that we were here we just wanted you to be happy. With the way he went off we're figuring he's on his way right now."

"When did you talk to him?" asked Baby. "About three hours ago," said Donna.
"Why didn't you talk to me then?" she cried exasperated. "Well we were on our way over here when these really hot guys came up to us and asked us to get some coffee with them. Then we ended up hanging out by the lake for a while. I guess it was longer than we thought."
Just then the parking lot filled up with steam as a junker with the paint flying off and radiator steaming pulled in. "Oh my god!" Baby looked up, "he's here."
