A month had passed. Kelsey was taking Angela to John's. He was going to watch Angela while Kelsey worked today. She knocked on the door. John answered it.
"Hi." He said.
"Hi."
"Come on in." They went in.
"Hi Ohn." Angela said.
"Hi." "Were gonna have fun today I bought puzzles and all kinds of fun stuff."
Kelsey bent down to Angela's level.
"Angela you be a good girl for John, ok?"
"Ok mommy."
"Give mommy hugs and kisses." Angela hugged Kelsey and kissed her cheek.
"Love you mommy."
"I love you to." She stood back up.
"She takes a nap at noon right?" John asked.
"Yeah." "I'll be here by eight o' clock."
"Ok."
"I gotta go."
"Don't worry I'll take good care of Angela."
"I know."
"Have a good day."
"I will." "Bye Angela."
"Bye mommy."
Kelsey was at work.
"So your lover's watching Angela today huh?" Brittany said smiling.
"John is not my lover, he is my friend, that's it."
"I know you've thought about it Kelsey."
"Thought about what?" Brittany got close to Kelsey's ear.
"This." "Oh yes, oh John, don't stop, oh yes." She whispered in a moaning voice.
"Cut it out." "I'm in a committed relationship."
"Yeah." "You know as well as I do, if there was no Zack, John would taking your clothes off faster then you could say take me."
"Shut up." She said smiling.
"See?" "You know I'm right."
"Well Brittany, there is a Zack, I love him and tomorrow will be our six year anniversary."
"I wonder if he'll remember that."
"He will."
Zack was walking down the street. He stopped in front of a run down pawnshop and went inside.
"Hey Zack." The man behind the counter said.
"Hey Mikey."
"What can I do for you?"
"Tomorrow's mine and Kelsey's anniversary." "I need a ring man."
"You're popping the question?"
"Yep." "I don't have a lot of money though."
"How much ya got?"
"Fifteen bucks."
"I'll tell you what." "You tune up my car for free and I'll give you the best ring I got for fifteen bucks."
"You got a deal."
John and Angela were sitting in the living room.
"Ohn I have a color book please?"
"I'll get you one." He went to her bag and got a coloring book. He went back over to her and sat it on the floor where she was.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Angel stood up and walked over to the remote. She picked up the remote and took it over to John.
"Here the mote."
"What's this for?" He took it.
"So you watch TV when I color." She sat back down on the floor.
"Is that what your daddy does?" "He watches TV while you color?"
"Yeah."
"Does he ever color with you?"
"Sometimes." "He busy lots."
"Doing what?"
"Watchin' portant shows."
"I'm gonna color with you." John sat on the floor.
"Ok." "Here pick one." She put the coloring book in front of him.
A few hours later Kelsey was on her break. She called John.
"Hello?" He said.
"Hi how's it going?"
"Great." "Angela got up from her nap about a half hour ago."
"Can I talk to her?"
"Yeah."
"Hi mommy." Angela said.
"Hi Angela." "Are you having fun?"
"Yeah." "I like it at Ohn's." "It fun."
"Good."
"We color and do puzzles and count numbers."
"Put John back on the phone."
"Ok."
"I'm back." John said.
"Well it seems like she's having fun." Kelsey said.
"She is." "I am to."
"I gotta go."
"Ok bye."
"Bye."
Kelsey got a text message at seven. It read.
Can I give Angela some dinner? She's hungry. – John
Yeah. – Kelsey
Kelsey showed up at eight. She knocked on the door. He answered it.
"Hi." He said.
"Hi."
"Come on in." She went in. "Angela fell asleep about ten minutes ago." "Are you hungry?" "I made extra for you."
"You didn't have to do that."
"It was no trouble." They went into the kitchen. "You like spaghetti right?"
"Yeah."
"Go ahead and sit down." "I just need to warm it up for a few minutes and you'll be eating in no time." She sat down. He put a plate on the microwave. Two minutes later he brought the plate over to her. "What would you like to drink?"
"A Coke if you have one."
"I do." He opened the fridge and got the Coke. He sat it next to her then he sat down acrossed from her.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." "How was work?"
"Busy." "I made a lot of tips though."
"That's good." Kelsey took a bite of her food.
"This is good."
"Thanks."
"Did you have any problems with Angela?"
"None at all." "We had fun."
"Are you sure you don't want any money for watching her?"
"Yes I'm sure." "I don't mind helping you out."
Kelsey finished eating her food. She went to pick up Angela.
"I'll get her." John whispered.
"Ok."
John picked up Angela. Kelsey got the rest of the things. John buckled Angela into in car seat. John went over to the driver's side.
"Thanks again." Kelsey said.
"No problem."
"See you later."
"Bye."
The next morning Kelsey was in the kitchen. Zack came down.
"Happy anniversary baby." He said.
"I knew you'd remember."
"Of course." "How could I forget the day I asked you to be my girlfriend?" They kissed.
Later that night Kelsey and Zack were sitting up in bed.
"I bought you a present." Zack said. "Close your eyes." She closed her eyes. She heard the nightstand door open and close. "Ok." "Open your eyes." She opened them and was looking down at a ring. "Kelsey, will you marry me?"
"Oh my god." "Yes." He put the ring on her finger. They kissed.
"I love you."
"I love you to."
