A few days had passed. Kelsey, Brittany and Angela were having a great time. Kelsey had programmed John's number into her cell phone. Kelsey, Brittany and Angela were getting ready for the day. Kelsey's cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi baby." Zack said.
"Hi."
"What you guys doing?"
"Getting ready to go back over to Disneyland." "What are you doing?"
"Sitting here thinking about how much I miss my girls."
"Aw that's sweet."
"Can I talk to Angela?"
"Yeah." "Hold on." "Angela come here someone wants to talk to you." Angela climbed up on Kelsey's lap. Kelsey put the phone to Angela's ear. "Say hello Angela."
"Hello?" Angela said.
"Hi sweetheart." Zack said.
"Daddy." She said smiling. "Hi daddy."
"Hi."
"Me miss you."
"I miss you to." "Are you having fun?"
"Yeah." "Daddy me see Mickey Mouse."
"You saw Mickey Mouse?"
"Yeah."
"That's great." "Daddy loves you and I'll see you in a few days."
"Love you daddy."
"Put mommy back on, ok?"
"Ok." "Here mommy." Kelsey took the phone.
"I think she was glad to talk to you." Kelsey said.
"I miss you." Zack said.
"I miss you to."
"Well I know you guys probably want to get to where you're going." "I love you."
"I love you to."
"Bye."
"Bye." They hung up.
"So he finally called huh?" Brittany said rolling her eyes. "Imagine that." "It only took him three days."
"Britt, don't start."
Later that night Kelsey put Angela to bed.
"Brittany do you mind staying here with Angela while I go to the pool?"
"Not at all." "Go have a good time."
"Thanks."
Kelsey changed into her bikini and went down to the pool. She'd been there for about ten minutes. She looked over and saw John.
"Hi." She said.
"Hi." "How's the water?
"Great." He got in the pool and swam over to her.
"Having fun on you on your vacation?"
"Yeah." "Did you have a match tonight?"
"Yeah."
"Did you win?"
"Yeah."
"Cool."
"I jammed my shoulder on the ring post though." "It's a little stiff." "That's why I decided to go for a swim."
"Which shoulder is it?"
"My left one." She got behind him and started rubbing his shoulder.
"Right here?"
"Yeah." "That feels good." "So how long have you been a waitress?"
"Six years."
"You hate it huh?"
"It was never supposed to be a permeate thing." "After I graduated high school I decided to take the year off." "When I was nineteen I got the job at the diner so I could go to college." "I was working and saving." "A year later I met Zack." "A year after that we got an apartment together." "He lost his job shortly after." "I had to spend some of my savings to support us." "The year after that I got pregnant with Angela." "Now I'm supporting all three of us." "The savings is gone."
"Wait." "So it's been four years since he last had a job?"
"Yeah."
"So he stays home with Angela?"
"Well he stays home." "My mom watches Angela while I work."
"Does he help with Angela at all?"
"When he wants to."
"That's not right." "It seems to me that you do everything and he does nothing."
"He loves us that's all that matters."
"If he really loved you he would support and help you."
"I know him." "He loves me and Angela."
"What did he used to do?"
"He was a mechanic and he's good with his hands." "He can fix anything."
"He should learn how to treat his girlfriend better." "You seem good with your hands to." He said looking back it her and smirking as she continued to rub his shoulder.
"Stop that." She said smiling.
"What I don't see any boyfriends around." He turned around to face her.
"You know John if I didn't know any better I'd say you liked me."
"What if I do?"
"Then I'd be flattered."
"I don't see how any man in his right mind wouldn't be attracted to you."
"Really?"
"Sure." "You're beautiful and I can tell you're a great mother that will do anything for her daughter." "I don't know that guy, Zack but just from what you've told me you deserve much better." "A man who would appreciate you and know how lucky he was to have you." "You deserve to be treated like the amazing person you are."
"That's sweet but you barely know me."
"I know enough and I know I shouldn't do this, but I can't help it." He put his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him. She knew what he was going to do. She knew she should stop him but she didn't want him to stop. He slowly drifted closer to her face. She closed her eyes. Just as there lips were about to touch her cell phone rang. She swam to the edge of the pool to get it.
"Hello?" She said. "Ok." "I'll be right there." She hung up. "I'm sorry John." "I have to go." She said getting out of the pool.
"Is everything ok?"
"Yeah." "Angela had a nightmare and she's asking for me." "See you later."
"Bye."
