"Where's your mom?" Alex asked as she colored in her kids menu at the table.
"Truthfully? I don't know. My dad said she'll be back late tonight though so I believe him, besides, she usually does this at home too."
"And you're okay with that?"
"Yeah, my mom yells at me too much anyways, sometimes I wish she never comes back, but then my dad tries to cook and I start to miss her."
Alex laughed, "So you only like your mom for her cooking skills?"
"Nope. She's pretty too." This time Marissa laughed as well.
"Your bill sir." The waiter set the little black book on the table.
"Thanks." Jimmy said reaching out for the bill.
"Split it?" Stacey asked.
"No, it's not necessary."
"Sure it is," Stacey said looking at the bill and pulling some cash out of her purse and handing it to Jimmy who knew no matter how much he insisted she wouldn't take it back. He just smiled and nodded his thanks. "Come on Alex it's time to get you back to the camp and asleep."
"You too sweetie." Jimmy said looking at his daughter, "Where's Kaitlin?" Jimmy asked Stacey noticing for the first time that Alex's half sister was not with them.
"Oh god, I wish I knew." Stacey laughed before turning away from Jimmy and Marissa and heading towards their own.
"Did you have fun sweetie?" Stacey asked her daughter.
"Yep."
"Well that's good." Stacey picked her daughter up and put her in the seat, "So you really like Marissa, huh?" But before Alex could answer she was asleep in the backseat waiting for tomorrow.
The coolest cellphone ever made is...?
