The Docks…..
Jesse just stared at the woman standing in front of him. He could not believe that she had come back after the way they left things. He had not seen her in over a year and was completely baffled by her standing there.
"Why are you here?" Jesse asked in an angered voice.
"I just could not stay away. I mean look at you, your smile, your body, and of course that hair." The woman moved closer to him and gently touched his face.
He quickly turned away. He could not stand her touch and all he could think about was why had she really come back.
"Seriously Kylie, what the hell are you doing here?" Jesse demanded.
"What, I can't just stop in a say hi to an old friend?" Kylie flashed him a teasing smile.
"No, you always have an ulterior motive. So what is it?" Jesse refused to give in to her again.
At that moment he heard a small sound and looked towards the stairs leading away from the docks. Kylie saw this and a malicious smile crossed her face.
"I bet you are wondering what that was, aren't you?" Kylie loved to play games with him, it was so easy.
"Kylie quit it what is going on?" Jesse's jaw became tense as he continued to talk.
Kylie suddenly walked up the stairs. Jesse figured that she was leaving and a sigh of relief escaped his mouth. Kylie returned about two minutes later carrying something in her arms.
"What are you trying to do now?" Jesse felt tension return to his body.
As Kylie came closer Jesse could finally see what she held in her arms and compassion swept across his face.
"Jesse meet your daughter, Kayla." Kylie announced.
Ice Cream Parlor………..
Maxie and Georgie were eating ice cream and talking about boys, relationships, and hard times. Maxie had tears in her eyes and the ice cream was not working.
"Georgie, I think I am going to go back to the apartment and think some things through." Maxie wanted to sort out a few things.
"Are you going to be o.k.?" Georgie was really worried about her sister. She knew how much Maxie cared for Jesse and having him walk out had hurt her so much.
"Yeah, I just want to be alone right now." Maxie really just wanted to be alone with her thoughts.
"O.K. I will see you later." With that Georgie got up and headed home.
Maxie decided to take the long way home and went to the docks. As she was about to walk down the stairs she stopped. She saw Jesse on the docks with some girl and that girl was touching his face. She turned around and headed back to the apartment, heartbroken and tears running down her face.
