Chapter 6
Jay, Johnny, and Ava talked for a while, but eventually Jay said, "I think
I'll go get some shut eye. I have to open the shop tomorrow morning."
Jay hung up and walked out of the room as he winked at Johnny.
"So," Johnny said into the phone, "how's L.A.?"
"It's fine," said Ava, "I'm not looking forward to working, but it's only
for two weeks."
"Ava," said Johnny, "there is something I've been meaning to talk to you
about."
"What?" said Ava.
"Um," said Johnny nervously, "nothing, it's nothing."
"Ok," said Ava. "How's Derrick?"
"Fine," said Johnny, "he's going to invite Martha over tomorrow."
"Good," said Ava, "give all the kids my love."
"Kay," said Johnny.
"Night," said Ava and then she hung up.
In L.A., Ava hung up the phone and smiled.
"I know that look," said Susannah. "Somebody's in love."
"I'm not in love," said Ava. "That was Johnny, we were just talking about
the kids."
"Whatever," said Susannah.
"What?" Said Ava. "I just needed to know what was going on."
"Ava," said Susannah with a sigh, "I'm your best friend, and I've been watching you and Johnny for awhile. There is something there, and I think that if you don't explore it, you'll be sorry when it's to late." They sat in silence for awhile, then Susannah said, "Please just at least admit it
that you still have feelings for him."
"All right," said Ava, "I do have feelings for him, but this is not the right time. I mean, what if it didn't work, what would that do to Derrick?
And besides, we don't even know if Johnny feels the same way."
"He does," said Susannah, "and Derrick will be fine."
"Let's just enjoy our two weeks, and go down this road when we come to it."
"Fine with me," said Susannah.
Back at the house, Johnny was still gazing at the picture of Ava. 'Even the sound of her voice makes me miss 'us',' thought Johnny. 'I think that Jay is right, this is definitely the right time to talk to Ava, but I could never ever live with myself if it didn't work. Derrick would take it way
to hard.'
Johnny got up and put Ava's picture on its shelf. 'Maybe someday,' thought Johnny.
