Chapter 7
It had been nearly three weeks since Kelly had seen Randy last at the hospital. On one side she didn't care what happened to him as he wasn't grateful for how she basically saved his life, but on another side she hoped he was ok. She continued what she normally did during the week. Take Matthew to school, she went to her job at the bakery. She was trying to save up to get into college as she wanted to be a doctor, but knew with the costs of college and her money she had there was no chance of that happening.
She was at home one morning while Matthew was at school cleaning the lounge room when there was a knock at the door. She stopped what she was doing and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and walked over to answer the door.
She got the shock of her life when she saw Randy standing there with his hands in his pockets. "Randy!" She gasped. "Hey." He said quietly. "How do you know I live here?" She asked. "I know things, can I come in?" He asked. "Oh….yeah." She answered and stepped out of the way as he nodded and walked in.
"Nice place." He said looking around her apartment. Kelly sighed as she knew he was joking. Her apartment was a dump. Even though she kept her house tidy, the cheap furniture made it look trashy. He gave her a quick glance and realized that she was embarrassed. "Anyway…" He started making her look up. "I'm sorry for what happened at the hospital." He said to her. She shrugged and looked away, like he really meant it she thought. "I was wondering if I could take you out to dinner for a thank you for saving my life." He asked. She raised her eyebrows at him, was he being serious? He didn't show any expression on his face so she couldn't tell. "I don't know…." She hesitated. "Come on…it's a dinner outing I know you'll like it." He said. Kelly opened her mouth in disgust and started to marched off into her room when Randy grabbed her arm. "Hey what's wrong?" He joked. "Leave me alone!" She yelled. "Kelly, calm down." He chuckled and let her go. "You have some nerve, still teasing me about my weight!" She yelled. "What? I'm asking you out to dinner I thought you may like it, I'm not teasing you about your weight." He explained. "Oh well I'm so sorry Randy but every time you see me, it's all fat, fat, fat to me. I don't know if it's true or not, but I think that's all you see of me." She said. Randy sighed and started to walk away; he turned around and saw she had tears in her eyes. "Look here is the address, come at 8 o' clock tomorrow night if you want too." He said and put a piece of paper on the couch and walked out the door.
Kelly walked over and picked the piece of paper up. She screwed it up and went to throw it in the bin when she stopped. She sighed and put it back on the table and got her bag off the kitchen table and walked out to do her grocery shopping.
