Johnny's point of view:
Johnny laid in his bed. His window was open and the hot summer air was flowing in. He was laying there in his tight black pants.
Sweat from the hot air had drenched his hair. As he laid there all he could think of was Baby. How beautiful she still was. Her eyes, smile, the way she looked at him. Hell there wasn't anything he didn't love about her. She hadn't changed much over the years. Except her hair was straight and long now. He had turned the radio on. Johnny was listening to the music, as he thought about Baby.
Then that song Love Man came on . It was the song I had first danced to with her. The first time I had really laid eyes on her. I thought maybe she was the same girl, I saw dancing with Neil earlier that night. Just After I got a good look at her I realized she was. It was like I was reliving it all over again. It was like I was back there in 1963.
I wondered what she was doing up here at the staff quarters. She was one of those little rich girls. A daddy's girl I am sure. Baby was standing across the room talking to Billy. I broke away from dancing with Penny. I danced my way with a few people, over their way. I jumped over to Billy and bumped into him. Of course on purpose. Asking what Baby was doing there. I did not know why the hell she was there. Why would a little rich girl be up here with the likes of us. Baby was not used to being around people like me. If her parents knew they would freak the hell out. We would all be fired for sure. Billy stood there for a second with a big smile on his face. It was almost like he wanted me to be jealous. Then Billy said to me in a excited voice, She is here with me.
Billy was proud to say she came with him. Billy was proud he finally was the one with the pretty girl. Billy had always been jealous that I had all the pretty women. He smiled like he thought he had one up on me for once. I laughed as I thought of what Baby's reply was. I remembered that silly thing she said, " I carried a watermelon". I guessed that she didn't know what else to say. I went back to dancing with Penny.
After the song Love man started, I went over to Baby. I motioned with my finger for her to come out to dance. She hesitated for a second. I grabbed her hand and led her to the dance floor. Baby looked back at Billy. Billy just shrugged his shoulders. Baby was so nervous i could just tell. I don't think she had really ever danced before .
I wanted to see what the little rich girl could do. She couldn't dance worth a crap. I started to show her the moves. She kinda got it. She seemed to be enjoying herself. After the song ended, I twirled her around and walked off. Baby walked off and talked to Billy. Soon she was gone. After she left Billy asked me if i was interested in her. I said no. I wasn't at that time. I told Billy, I just wanted to see what the little rich girl could do. I did think she was cute though. Billy told me that he had found Baby wandering around. He figured why not bring her here. I told him not to do it again. It was to much of a risk. If anyone found out we would all be up a creek without a paddle.
The song finished. I laid there in the hot summer air. Soon I was remembering another memory. This one was about the second time I had seen Baby. The night Baby seen Penny crying in Neil's apartment. Baby rushed back to tell someone about Penny. She found Billy and told him. I was dancing with a guest. Billy pulled me aside and told me what Baby had said. we rushed to get Penny. I hoped that Neil had not found her. Neil was a big asshole back then. He would have fired Penny on the spot. Neil had already asked were Penny was earlier.
I asked Billy what Baby was doing here. There was that little rich girl tagging along. The last thing I needed Was her tagging along. If we were seen with Baby there would be hell to pay. Billy told me, it was just in case Neil came back. Baby asked, what was wrong with Penny. Billy told her Penny was knocked up. Baby thought it was mine. Baby asked, what was I going to do about it. Dam that pissed me off. How could she just assume that. She tired to cover saying she didn't realize. It made me mad back then that people would just assume the worst about me. Now her was some little rich Daddy's girl judging me. It ran all over me.
When we got to Neil's apartment, I went to Penny. I picked her up and carried her to the little staff studio. I told Penny it was OK. "Johnny was here now". I was not going to let anything happen to her. That was when Penny told Baby, it was Robbie who knocked her up. I remember thinking she was going to run and tell Neil. That we would all get fired. Penny needed the money for the abortion. I had no way of coming up with it. Baby came through for us. She tried to get it from Robbie, but he refused. So Baby went to her Dad. She didn't tell Neil. I wasn't happy that she would fill in for Penny. Baby had to or we would lose the gig at the Sheldrake. We would also lose the rest of this year's pay. I teased her about going to the father for the money. If she hadn't done it, we would have never fallen in love. Everything that summer happened for a reason. I met Baby and I don't regret anything that happened. I was just glad to have her back in my life. I remembered how bad she had gotten on my nerves. When i first was teaching her to dance. When I gave her attitude she gave it right back. I did not know why she was helping us. She didn't get anything but, dance lessons out of it.
I realized i kinda liked her, when we went to the lake practice the lifts. We were in the water. It was so cold. That was the first time I looked in to her eyes. I seen a beautiful person that day. I wanted to kiss her but, I held myself back. I needed this job and if I got with her someone would find out. I would be fired. I needed this job lined up for next year. Plus I was not good enough for her anyway. I think she wanted me to kiss her too. I just blew off the feelings and took her back to the studio. I had never met anyone like Baby. She was willing to give up her vacation to help us. I still did not know why. I do think that she just cared about the well being of people. She wanted to save the world. make peoples lives better. I had never met such a selfless person until i met her.
I remembered just then. When I had really realized, I wanted to be with her. Before that I just blew my feelings off. I told myself it would never happen. What could she ever see in a guy like me. She needed a man who could give her everything. I could never offer her that. Plus I knew she was going to college and in the peace core. That it would make things more complex. I just hoped after the dance at the Sheldrake, I could get her out of my mind. We went to the Sheldrake that night. We did the dance. She did good and I told her that. Even though she did not do the lift. I think she was scared still to do it. The drive back was pretty quit. Other than talking about the dance we preformed. I did peek back for a second while she changing. I looked only for a sec. She was so dam beautiful. I just wanted to kiss her then. Well more than just that.
When we returned from the Sheldrake, Billy told us something was wrong with Penny. We rushed off to see. The botched abortion left Penny near death. Baby risked everything that night. To get her Dad to save Penny. Baby knew her father would not like the situation. She went any way. Jake had saved Penny that night. Jake was so mad at Baby. Well more upset than anything. That Baby would be around people like us. Jake thought Baby was to good to be around the likes of us. Even though Jake told her to stay away from us. Baby came to my room that night. That is when she told me she had feelings for me. I tried to resit her at first but, I gave in.
That was when we first made love. I knew it was her first time. I made sure to be to be gentle, treat her with respect, and treat her body like the most remarkable treasure you could ever have. I knew then I loved her. It was different than anyone else I had been with. All she wanted was to be with me. Not to use me for cheap meaningless sex. From there on out Baby would sneak out to see me. Well every chance she got. We couldn't stand being away from each other. Then there was the whole mess that led up to that last dance. I don't want to think about all that bullshit now. Just the dance it was the first time anyone at Kellermans seen us together as a couple. We were together without having to sneak around. We were finally free. It made us dance like it was our last. I went back for her after the whole stolen wallet thing. I had to could not bare to be without her. I was going to do my kind of dancing. I did not give a shit what anyone had to say. I walked Baby on stage. I made a short speech about how great Baby was and what she had done for me. Her father looked mad but, that is a whole different story. One I don't like to think about. The rest is history.
Soon Johnny was asleep. He had fallen asleep thinking back to 1963. The best year of his life. The summer he met the most remarkable woman. The woman who finally stole his heart. He could be open with her, honest, show her the real him. He wasn't like that with any other women . Everyone thought he was a bad boy. That he had no real feelings. Pretty much that he was a man whore. He used women for money. Really it was the other way around. They were skanky and slut like women who were rich. They thought they could buy him. Well they did for awhile. Well until he met baby. She was the first woman that did not want him for just sex. She was different. She was unlike anyone else. That made him love her even more.
That summer changed them both and for the better. The next summer would tear them apart. Leave them with out each other for four years. Now they had another chance. Tomorrow they would go back to the place where it all began. There were a lot of good memories there. Also there were bad ones that both of them did not want to think about.
Johnny knew that if anything was going to make them see why they needed each other. It was Kellermans. That no matter what happened. They could always find a way to make it back to each other. That had to be the place for sure. Hopefully it would be and they could make a new memories. Maybe even block out that summer of 1964. The one that tore them apart.
Soon it was morning, Johnny awoke. He went and took a shower and got dressed. He grabbed his records and a few suitcases. He put his things in the car and drove off to Baby's apartment. He was in a hurry to get there. He missed Baby so much. He could not wait to see her. Even though it had only been one night it felt like a life time.
About twenty minutes later he arrived at Baby's apartment. He knocked on the door. Alisa answered, Alisa told him, to come in. Alisa said, Baby was taken a shower but, she should be ready soon. Alisa asked Johnny, to help her get all the bags by the door. Baby had told her, to make sure they did not leave any bags or suitcases behind. Alisa made sure everything was there. Alisa would hate it if she left something important behind. Alisa would not like Baby to get upset with her. After all she was lucky Baby had helped her out in the first place.
Johnny helped Alisa get their things and take them to the car. When they went back in, Johnny helped Alisa make breakfast. Alisa asked Johnny, what Kellermans was like. The last time Baby and her were there, it was before the season started. There were not many people there. Plus the stayed at Lisa and Neil's house. They spent most of their time there.
Johnny told her a little bit. Alisa was excited to go.
Soon Baby came out to the kitchen and sat down. They all ate breakfast. Baby told Johnny, she thought about him all night. Johnny said, he did as well. Baby said, I could not stop thinking about the summer of 1963 last night. Johnny looked at her in surprise. Johnny said, funny thing I was thinking about it too. It was like they were the same person. It had to be a good sign. That they were both thinking about that summer last night. It shocked them both, they were thinking about it at the same time. Johnny knew in his heart it had to mean something. Baby thought it had to prove they were soul mates. Baby said, It was the most amazing summer of my life. Johnny replied with a smile from ear to ear. That smile made Baby's body melt down to her toes. Baby smiled back and gave him a short kiss. Then Johnny looked at her and said, Mine too. More than you will ever know. Johnny knew it was getting time for them to leave.
Johnny: Well we better be on our way. We have to get Alisa to your parents soon. We need to make it to Kellermans before five.
Baby: OK Johnny. Let me grab my purse and I will be ready.
Johnny: OK sweetie. I will meet you at the car.
Baby: OK I will be there in just a minute.
Alisa: Do you want me to wait on you?
Baby: No I will meet you at the car.
Alisa and Johnny told Baby, not to be to long. Baby said, she would just be a minute or two. Johnny and Alisa went out to the car. Baby stood there. In her room for a minute. Baby was thinking how this summer was either going to be perfect or a disaster. Hopefully it would all work out. Johnny was Baby's heart and soul. Baby knew it just had to work out.
After the talk her and Jamie had about Baby's dreams for the future. She knew she would have to talk to Johnny about them. Baby hoped he had the same ones. If he didn't she would have to walk away for good this time. Baby knew that would kill her. She would not have a choice. She wasn't giving up those dreams. She would not want any regrets later on. Or hate Johnny later because, she gave up her dreams. Baby spoke to herself: I will just have to see about this. I hope it doesn't end bad. I need to get out there. They will wonder what is wrong with me. I will worry about this when I find out how he feels. No sense worrying over things you don't know the answers to any way. Be positive Baby. He will want the same dreams. I know he will. He just has to. Baby walked out of her bedroom into the living room. She walked out the front door and locked it. It was time to go. She couldn't put it off another minute. As she made her way to car she took a deep breath. She was ready for the next chapter to begin. To see where life would take her now.
When Baby made it to the car. She had a sort of sad look on her face. Johnny asked if every thing was OK. Baby said, Yes, it could not be better. Johnny knew something was on her mind but, he didn't know what. Johnny figured after they dropped off Alisa. He could get it out of her. Baby sat there with a million thoughts running through her mind.
So they all got into the car and drove to Baby's parents house. When they arrived Johnny and Baby talked to Baby's parents a few minutes. Everyone said they would see each other there. Everyone got into there cars and hit the road. It was a long four hour drive to Kellermans. It was worth it to Baby and Johnny. Well everyone else loved it there to. Plus Baby's parents loved to see their grandchildren. Alisa needed to take her mind off her problems too.
Johnny and Baby were finally alone. Johnny asked Baby what was on her mind. Baby told him, she would tell him when the time was right. Johnny wanted to know but, he didn't want to push. He could tell by look on Baby's face. She was not going to tell him now any way. He was sure she would when, she felt it was time. She could never keep anything from him for long. Johnny could still tell after four years, when something was wrong with her. Baby was not being her normal self today. Johnny could not figure out why. He still would wait and hope she would open up to him. They had a long drive surley in four hours she would tell him. Baby sat there just lost in her thoughts. Replaying Jamie and her convertsation over and over. Johnny still just dropped the subjec. He did not want to upset Baby. He had a feeling he would if kept bothering her about it.
Besides they were getting alone good. He didn't want to start an disagreement first thing. To set a better mood. Johnny flipped on the radio. Baby asked him, if he was mad at her. For not telling him what was on her mind. He said, I am sure I will find out soon. Its OK. He smiled at her and put her hand in his. Baby knew then he was not mad. She smiled back at him. They rest of way there, they just listened to radio and talked about old times. Baby wondered what was going to happen, when she told Johnny everything. Everything that kept replaying in her mind. It stayed on her mind a lot since that talk with Jamie. Baby was scared of how things would end up. she didn't mention it to Johnny. She would tell him when the right words to say came to her. More or less how to tell him with out sounding like a bitch. She didn't want him to take things the wrong way. She would tell him after she really thought long and hard about it.
Johnny kept wondering what was going on in that pretty little mind of hers. He was going to find out as soon as they got settled at Kellermans.
There it is the sign to Kellermans, Johnny said with a sweet look on his face. The one that always made Baby's heart melt. Not long now just a few more minutes, Johnny said.
Baby replied, Time to go back where it all began. You ready Johnny. Maybe things will work out this time. They say the third times a charm. Johnny looked at Baby with glow in his eyes. He winked at her and said, It sure is. I hope your ready for the time of our lives. Baby leaned over and kissed him and said, the most amazing thing in my life, was the day i met you. Johnny said, me too, I love you Baby more than you will ever know. Baby looked at him and smiled and told him, she did as well.
Baby and Johnny pulled into Neil and Lisa's drive way. Neil had built them a house inside of the resort. Baby had to show Johnny where it was. Johnny had not been back to Kellermans since 1964. Neil sure had fixed up the place since 1964. It didn't look that different though. Johnny thought as he looked around. He still held Kellermans close in heart. It was the place were he met his true love. How could he not.
Johnny and Baby made their way to the door. They knocked on the door and Neil answered. He led them into the living room were Lisa and the kids were. It was a beautiful summer. Hopefully it would stay that way. After they all caught up for awhile. Neil took Johnny and Baby to the nice cabin he had keep for them. It was a very nice cabin. Nicer than the one Johnny stayed in. When he was there before. Baby and Johnny brought there stuff into the cabin and unpacked. They had to meet with Neil soon. To see why he wanted Johnny to come and help him out so bad. That would give Baby time to see Lisa and the kids. To ask Lisa a little sisterly advice.
