"Tony, wake up, you're gonna be late!" Michelle smiled and started kissing him hard and passionatly. He kissed her back, and she broke away laughing. "See, you are awake" She laughed, and he pulled her in for another kiss. When they broke away she said, "you really have to get up, it's your interview today y'know, and i wont let you spoil this" he smiled at her. "i won't"
Michelle, who was already dressed, made her way to the kitchen. She no longer needed the crutches, but Tony could se she had problems putting any weight on her foot, but she wouldn't acept any help from him at that point, "it wasn't like she was invalide or something" . Tony smiled to himself. And the thought about how close he was to ruining his marrige, with the cutest, most beautifull, caring, loving wife to be found. He was going to make this right, he was going to get this job! To prove to her that he was good enjof, that he could do it!
Half an hour later he was ready to leave. Michelle wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. "Be youself, ok? You can do it i know!" He huged her, and kissed her one last time before leaving the house. Michelle sat down on the coach, now, she was the one alone, waiting. Damn bored. She picked up her computer, but then she heard the phone. She answered it, to hear her niece Nadine in the other end. Nadine was Dannys oldest child, and she was 15years old, and she lived in napanee with her mother, and younger sister Tamile, and lately, also her mothers boyfriend in, witch acording to Nadine was " a fucking bitch".
Now she was calling to hear if she could live with Tony and Michelle in the hollliday. Michelle laughed as she heard the excitement in the girls vioce, when she told her that could work out. Since it was while Michelle was still off sick from work. And also, Michelle wouldn't have to be home by herself all day if Tony got the job.
After talking to their mother, Michelle aranged to pick them up at the airport. When she hung up, she sat down to work, not getting to much done, wondering how Tony was doing.. Shouldn't he be home soon? An hour later, Tony walked through the door. And Michelle was up on her feet the second she heard him, and forgot about her injured foot, causing her to almoust fall over. Tony walked inside, and smiled when he saw the look on his wifes face.. "What happened, what did they say?" Tony laughed.. "Easy there, i think i should have time to tell you all about it before i'm leaving for work next week." He smiled, and Michelle threw her arms around him and kissed him.
They broke apart, and Tony took his jacket and shoes of, and led her into the living room. Tony sat down, and Michelle sat down beside him, kissing him once more. She rested her head against his shoulder, and said. " I'm so proud of you" He smiled, and held her tight. He did it, he got a job, and he made her proud of him. He looked at her, she was resting against his body, with eyes closed, and a huge smile on her face. This was the way it was supose to be!
She opened her eyes, and saw him loking at her. "Nadine called, she and Tamile are comming over next week, is that okay?" He smiled, "Yeah, then you won't have to be here all by yourself while i'm working..." They both smiled as he said that, "working..." that word had never been more beautifull...
Michelle started working on another song... At the same time as she was seriously thinking about getting her last one published. She started typing, but quickly shut down the computer when Tony entered the room. "Hey, what was that", he said, and sat down beside her and re opened her computer, he stopped on the place where it asked for a password he knew far to well. He smiled, "Gonna tell me what it is?" She nodded, "Fine, i'm thinking about writing another song, and record that, and you'll see it when it's finnsihed. She pushed the laptop down again, and kissed him. "And its about you!" She added, just to make him curious.
He laughed, and she moved her laptop from the bed, down to the floor, and settled in his arms... "You never really told me what happened during the inerview today, she said, and looked at him. "well, we talked, they asked about the conviction and stuff, and i told them everything. And they introdused me to one of the kids, a girl called Lessly, she does Karatee, and she is expected to be taken out to the Californian championship. And three years ago, she was so bad she couldn't even breathe for herself, and she had to stop all training, and now she is taking up where she left. And she will be one of my first students!" Michelle smiled, "Thats great, now you can really make a differense for those kids, and thats what you wanted right. And the fact that you were an ex-con didn't stop them from acepting you!"
That night he slept, knowing someone, trusted him. Michelle trusted him, and belived in him, those people at the school trusted and belived in him. Those kids were going to trust him, and belive that he could make a differense for them. And he would prove to everyone, that he was worth trusting.
