CHAPTER 4:THE MELODRAMTIC-DRAMATICNESS

"It's not like we haven't done it before..."

Marissa stared out the door ,gaping at where Teresa and everything she knew where just

sitting.She rubbed the back of her hand against her eyes,wiping of the thin layer of sweat

that had appered there after just a few minutes of standing outside."What just happened?

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?"Marissa said to the heat of the day.Regaining her composure

the blond stepped back into her home and shut the door with a smooth gesture.She looked

at the sleeping figure just a few feet away from her.She looks so much like him.Marissa

decided right at that moment,that until Ryan or Teresa came back,she would do as much as

possible for the toddler.

Samara opened her eyes a crack and saw colors she had only seen on

Teletubbies.Oranges,pinks,blues,and every other taste of magic she could think of.The

cloudiness lifting from her thoughts,she relized that she was looking at a very very pretty

sunset."Mame?Mame where are you?"Samara whispered.She decided she better find

her,because she might be getting into trouble,and every little girl has to take care of her

Mame.

"Please!I'll have the money by next week Sal,just give me time!"Teresa cried.

"Not good enough baby,you said that last week .How can I trust that I will get paid?...I know,I can take my stuff now."

Horror registered in Teresa's eyes when she saw that Sal was undoing his pants

"Now we can do this the easy way,or we can do this the hard way.You choose."

"Sal,please.My baby..."

Sal grinned at this and winked at the two-year-old sitting in the playpen.

"She has to learn sooner or later"

"Maaaaame!Where are you?I gotta go!"Sammy looked quizically at the blonde lady

standing in a big kitchen searching through a big yellow book."Whore' you?Wher's my

Mame?Is she with you?She likes blond ladies."Marissa turned around startled at the little

girls' presence.Think fast Atwood."Hi Sammy,um...would you like something to eat ,drink?"Sammy's eyes got

big,showing off Ryan in her more and more."Can we have icecream?"Marissa nervously

patted the child's head,"I think you should probably have something real to eat

first.k?"Sammy turned to the side and stared at Marissa with eyebrows raised,"Mommy

always let's me eat icecream.All the time.Everyday."

Samara sat at the breakfast island,surrounded by bagels and oddly enough avacodos.Samara

had her eyes on something else.Her hands were coated in strawberry icecream,she had it all

over her face,her chest,even in her eyelashes.Scooping up another bite with a rather large

spoon,Sammy looked at amused Marissa.Smiling through all the sugar she said "Mame

also lets me watch cartoons all day.no baths either.And splash in puddles.and and...never

take naps no no no.Mame hates naps.She thinks they are tonto." Marissa picked up a

dishtowel and attempted to get the mess off of the toddler but it was no help."Well,some of

those maybe,but you have to take a bath."Samara looked around her,slapped her hands

together ,looked at Marissa and said "Well maybe a bath every once in a while Mame lets

me do.But only sometimes."Marissa laughed picked up the little girl and the deal was

struck.
