"So you just left and didn't say anything about seeing him again." Amanda asked Baby as she placed her plate in the sink.
"I had no idea what to say." Baby replied back to her.
"You should have asked him out." Amanda said with a huge grin on her face.
"Amanda, come on now," Baby started, "We are too different people now. There was so much I didn't know about him and he didn't know about me."
"Well, news flash, you haven't seen each other in nine years!" Amanda gave Baby the evil eye.
"He has such a handsome son." Baby told her with the picture of Jonathon popping up in her mind.
"Like his daddy no doubt." Amanda poured them both more tea. "Think you might see him again?"
"There was no indication that we will; probably not if I had to guess." Baby rose to her feet and headed into the living room.
"He is weighing heavy on your mind isn't he?" Amanda asked her as she motioned for Baby to take a seat on the couch.
Baby sat down and leaned back on the sofa. "Yes he is. I have spent nine years trying to forget about him and now I can't even stop thinking about him for two minutes."
"You are still in love with him." Amanda said forward.
"I know I still have feelings for him." Baby admitted.
"Like I said you still love him. Baby, I can see it in your eyes." Amanda told her dear friend.
Baby knew that Amanda was right. She has never stopped loving Johnny. "I know."
"Question is, what are you going to do about it?" Amanda asked.
"What can I do?" Baby said sipping on her tea.
"Go see him."
"I can't do that. Amanda he probably has gotten over me years ago." Baby hoped she was lying to herself.
"There is another show tonight right?" Amanda asked Baby.
"Yeah."
"Then there you go." Amanda said with ideas popping in her head.
"What? Just show up there?" Baby hoped that was not what Amanda meant.
"Why not? Chase after what you want." Amanda told her.
"That's crazy!" Baby told her. "Totally crazy!"
Amanda walked over to find her phonebook.
"Besides it will probably be late when he leaves." Baby replied.
Baby watches Amanda thumb through the phone book and pick up the phone. "Who are you calling?"
With a wink to Baby, Amanda waited for the person on the other end. "Yes, I am sorry to bother you but can you tell me what time the play will be over?" Amanda waits for her answer. "Good, well them can I get a message to someone backstage?"
Baby's eyes blinked open wide. "Amanda what are you doing?"
"Johnny Castle. I need to get a message to him."
"Amanda!"
"Yes, will you tell him to come to 764 Carlton Place Apartment 389 after the show please? Thanks." Amanda hung up the phone and grinned mischievously at Baby.
"Amanda! Have you lost your mind?" Baby said as she realized what Amanda was up too.
"Show will be over at 10 p.m. so he should be at your place no later than 11." Amanda told her.
"I can't believe you just did that!" Baby was beside herself.
"Hey, if I wasn't your best friend I wouldn't have done that." Amanda replied back.
"He won't know who lives there." Baby told Amanda.
"Yeah, but soon he will find out." Amanda looked at her watch. "Its 8:30 now. You better get going so you can get ready."
"I am going to kill you." Baby pointed her finger at her.
"Yeah, well do it after you meet Johnny." Amanda smirked.
"He might not even come." Baby told her.
"He will be too curious not too."
"I am crazy for letting you do this to me." Baby just shook her head.
"Yeah, but you love me. Now get going." Amanda insisted nearly pushing Baby out the door.
As Baby drove home she wondered what had she let Amanda get her into. What would she even say when she opened to the door and seen him standing there? She could always not go home, but, that was silly. Johnny will probably think she was insane for calling and leaving her address for him. Even though she wasn't the one who called, it was still bad enough.
It was about nine when Baby reached her apartment. Her nerves were starting to get worse now. She couldn't just sit around and wait. She had to keep herself busy or she would totally freak out. She needed to work on her article about the upcoming governor election. Even though she really didn't want to it was the only way to keep her mind occupied.
It seemed like Baby looked up at the clock about every fifteen minutes or so. She would try so hard not to but her eyes would somehow find their way to the clock. It was almost 10 o'clock now. She put her article and everything back in her briefcase. She looked around her apartment to make sure it looked neat and tidy. Then there was a knock at the door.
Baby's heart jumped to her throat. But, wait its only 10 o'clock surly that can't be Johnny this early. She took a glance in the mirror and headed for the door. With a deep breath Baby opened the door.
