Chapter 5: Bessy's Happy?

After "tutoring" Abby, Ashlynn thought it would've been a great idea to "tutor" Otis.

"So, your name's Otis right?" asked Ashlynn.

"Yeah." said Otis.

"You're kind of handsome by the way." said Ashlynn. "But I've got a husband."

Otis laughed.

"Anyways, jumping to the point!" said Ashlynn. "Have you ever been with the girl you wanted to be with?"

"Well, in 2006, I met a girl I thought I was going to spend my life with, but she left. And now, I've never asked this girl out." said Otis. "So, no."

"I know a girl who'd be perfect for you." said Ashlynn. "I just don't know if she likes you yet." she lied.

"Oh." said Otis. "Who is it?"

"Abby." said Ashlynn.

"Abby!" said Otis with excitement.

"Again, I don't know if she likes you." Ashlynn lied once again.

"Oh." said Otis.

It was good to know SOMEONE was helping, but they were doing it secretly.

After the "tutoring", Bessy walked in smiling. She'd not smiled as much before and suprisingly, it wasn't criticism this time.

"You're extremely proud aren't you?" asked Ashlynn.

"Yes." said Bessy. "You know, you also gave me a better reason to smile than to criticize. And I admit, I feel better now than I ever have."

"Maybe in the future, I'll matchmake you." said Ashlynn.

That accidentally upset her. She had a husband and two sons that she probably lost forever. She missed them so much.
