| Chapter Thirteen |
| Once inside I found everyone in the living room. They all looked up as we walked in. "Kayla is going to bed, but she wanted to say bye first." All the guys were waving and saying, "Good night Kayla", as we walked up the stairs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ JC patted Justin on the back. "Dude, she is stunning. You better sweep her up before someone else does." Justin looked at his best friend. "I know man! But, that's my best friend. I gotta go easy. This is the first time we've seen each other in 2 years. I'm not sure how she would react." They all looked at Justin in amazement. Justin was always confident when it came to women, but this girl was different, and they knew it. Lance stood up. "Well, good luck man. But we gotta go. I have to drop off all these rejects." And with that all the guys left, except Trace (who lived with Justin), and Justin was still wondering what he was gonna do. He turned to Trace. "Dude, what do you think? You've known both of us for years. Why am I feeling all this now?" Trace patted Justin on the shoulder as he stood up. "I don't know man. I'm not gonna be able to help you on this one. But JC is right. You better not wait too long if you really like her." And with that, Trace was gone. That was the point! He really did care. 'What is happening to me! She has got me all messed up inside.' But for some reason, he liked it. Maybe a shower would help him clear his head. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I looked down at my daughter as she splashed in the tub. "Momma, I like it here. Let's just stay." I smiled, "Hunny, we can't stay. I've got school and wouldn't you miss Grammy?" I could tell her mind was working, and she quickly had an answer. "Grammy could come too!" I laughed and pulled her out of the tub. "Come on Monkey, it's bedtime." I got her dressed and she immediately jumped into the bed. I leaned down and kissed her on the nose. "I'm gonna be down the hall if you need me. I love you baby." She popped her head from underneath the covers as I shut the door, "I love you too Momma." 'I wonder where Justin is', I thought. Then I saw the light in his bedroom, and the door what open. So instead of knocking I just walked on in. |
