Oh No, What Now?
Chapter 5
Ring Ring
By body jerks and I can't help, but say a little prayer that it was only a dream. A very hot dream non-the less, that I wish I could go back to and finish or change it around so Judy doesn't interrupt. But I can't help wonder if this is my body telling me I need something or someone for that matter or I'm just reading way too many romance novels. Ring Ugh the phone, I reach over for the phone on my bedside table and say a simple "hello" into the receiver.
"Grace?" Oh man talk about deja vu its Judy.
"Yes it's me Aunt Judy, what can I help you with on this fine morning or afternoon." How long was I asleep?
"I was just wondering if your mom was home, I have a problem at the bookstore that I need her advice on, since I'm not quite sure how to go about it. Well I am sure to go about it, but I'm still not sure if it's the right decision or if I should choice a whole different way. But yet your mom did tell me to make my own choices and I should be doing that, and not run to her every time I have a problem that is as small as this one. So yeah just tell your mom that I'll stop by later on tonight to just chat. Thanks Gracie bye."
I hang up the phone and I sometimes wonder why she even calls here. I look at the clock to see how long I was sleeping and the red letters stare back at me reading 4:47 p.m. That can't be right! That means that mom and Rick will be home soon, and Eli has been back for sometime now. I quickly jump out of bed and run down stairs.
No one, hmm where is everyone? I swear I sleep for a few hours and I walk up and my dream came true an empty house with no sisters. I hear very faint music coming from the garage and knew it could only be one person. I skip over to the door, lord knows why I'm skipping, good thing know one was watching, I don't know if I could take that right now.
Reaching for the doorknob to Eli's room I hear another voice. And I know for a fact that it isn't a mans voice. I suddenly have this feeling in my gut that if I open this door, my world may never be the same. Suddenly I hear this strange woman laugh and I can't seem to place it, but it sounds familiar. My heart is racing at a mile a minute it seems. My hand feels like dead weight on the door. I want to open it, and see who this woman is, but at the same time I don't know if I could bear the truth that Eli is seeing someone behind my back.
I finally muster up enough courage and I open the door, hoping to like what is behind this door. As soon as I open up the door wide enough to see the woman inside, I swear my heart stopped right then and there, this can't be happening to me.
"Grace! Nice to see you again."
