"Johnny what took you so long?" Penny said as Johnny walked up to her.

"Sorry I got caught up." He told her giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"It's a great party. Guess this means it's going to be a great year." Penny said as she pulled Johnny onto the dance floor.

Penny wrapped her arms around Johnny as they both started moving to the beat. "I got a problem." Johnny said as he dipped Penny.

"I'm afraid to ask." Penny said as she was pulled back up to Johnny.

"Baby is here." He told her.

Penny stopped dancing and looked Johnny straight in the face. "What are you going to do?"

Johnny pulled Penny outside. He leaned against the railing of the old porch. "I have no idea."

"Have you seen her yet?" Penny asked.

Johnny sighed. "Yes."

"What happened?" Penny questioned Johnny carefully.

Johnny turned to look out at the moon. A thousand thoughts were running through his head. "She was standing on my door step when I got to my cabin."

"What did she say when she seen you." Penny knew that Johnny still cared a lot about Baby.

"We just talked. I told her I would meet her tomorrow some time." He said as he looked at Penny.

Penny decided not to say anything back when she seen Billy walking toward them with three beers.

"Hey guys. Wanna beer?" He offered holding them in the air.

Johnny took one from Billy's hands before he dropped it. "Thanks cuz."

"Penny?" He offered her one next.

"No thanks Billy." She replied.

"Hey you guys seen Baby?" He asked them both. "She is here this season."

"Yeah, I saw her." Johnny replied as he popped the top off his beer.

"That gonna mess things up for you?" Billy nudged Johnny in the side smirking. "She looks good don't she Johnny."

"Yeah, she does." Johnny responded quickly.

"Well, I hate to run but Lisa is floating around here somewhere and I am dying to find her." With a quick wave Billy was gone.

Penny took a step closer to Johnny. "What does this mean?"

"Penny, I don't know. Damn it!" Johnny said as he hit the side of the railing with is fist.

"You gotta be careful. Stay away from her." Penny told him as she reached out to check his fist.

"I don't know if I can Penny." Johnny took a quick sip of his beer. "What am I gonna do?"

Penny could see the confusion in his eyes. "So she came and found you right?"

"Yeah, I arrived home to find her on my door steps. Oh it was so good to see her Penny, so good. When I hugged her it triggered everything inside of me again." Johnny looked down at his feet. "You know it has been two years since we talked. I never thought I would see her again."

"And now here she is huh?" Penny wished she could make this conversation easier for Johnny.

"Yeah, here she is." Johnny chugged the rest of his beer. "I am so nervous around her like a little kid. All I want to do is wrap my arms around her and kiss the hell out of her."

"Johnny you can't jeopardize your job." Penny said again just this time sternly. "Don't get me wrong I love Baby to death but Max is really cracking down on us getting involved with the guests."

"Just her being back here has my head spinning. I have never met anyone like Baby." Johnny said leaning back against the railing again.

"What if Max finds out Baby was at you cabin?" Penny said worried.

"My ass is grass." Johnny sighed.

"Just use your head Johnny that is all I am trying to say." Penny told him.

"I just don't know what to do?" Johnny sighed again.

"You still care about Baby?" Penny asked as Johnny's expression changed.

Max had really cracked down on the staff. They were not to socialize with the guests in any other way than professionally. If a staff member got involved with a guest they would be fired on the spot. Max was gracious for giving Johnny his job back but he told him he had one more time to screw up and he would be gone for good.

"You know I do." He answered.

Penny just shook her head. "Well, you do what you think is right. Just watch out for the consequences. You know Neil is watching you like a hawk."

"I know, I know. He is looking for any reason to have me fired. I have never been more confused in my life."

"I am behind you on what ever you decide." Penny said as she hugged Johnny tightly.

Johnny held on close to Penny. She was a great friend to him. He thanked God for her everyday.

"She just does something to me when I am around her." He said breaking the embrace.

"I know I could see it in you especially when you and she danced the final dance that year. I think you love her." Penny told him with a little smirk.

"I don't know Penny, I really don't know. I just can't get fired. I need this job." He said sounding frustrated again.

"We all do!" Penny agreed. "Why didn't you keep in contact with her?"

"Penny," Johnny continued. "It was hard being away from her, really hard. I just couldn't bring myself to talk to her and not be able to touch her or even see her."

"Do you love her?" This time Penny flat out asked him.

Love, Johnny had never spoken those words to anyone before. He knew what love was but he had never been in love. Could he be in love with Baby? Was Baby the one he could fall in love with? "I don't know, maybe."

"Listen to your heart ok." Penny said looking Johnny dead in the eyes.

"I better get back to the cabin." Johnny said as he chunked his beer bottle over the railing and into the lake.

"Just be careful Johnny." She told him as she patted his arm.

"Thanks for listening to me and helping me." Johnny said as he kissed her hand.

"Don't think I was much help. If you see Baby tell her I can't wait to see her." Penny said straight faced as she pulled her hand to walk away. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Could he love Baby? . He wasn't sure. His mind was totally confused. He recalled the time him and Baby first made love and how she told him "I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life, the way I feel when I'm with you." Those words cut through him every time he thought about them. He had never felt the way he felt for Baby before her. Knowing she was here could he just not see her?
