Story PT 4

"Alright Rylan time for a bath and then bed." It was hard for Emmalynn to keep her mind on what she was doing. All she thought about was how she was going to make a great dinner for Andrew tomorrow. Finally she finished bathing Rylan and put him to bed. After he fell asleep she went about planning and preparing dinner. Then she decided that she would make a spiral ham, smashed potatoes, and green bean casserole. She pulled out the ham to thaw and put the green bean casserole together and put it in the refrigerator until tomorrow. As she was closing the fridge door the phone rang. "Who in the world could it be this late?" she said to herself and she walked over to the phone. "Hello."
"Hey Emm."
"Andrew, why are you calling this late?"
"Because I can't sleep. I can't stop thinking about you. I haven't seen you since the party and that was three weeks ago. I want to see you ."
"Oh Andrew. I want to see you too that's why I invited you for dinner tomorrow."
"I know baby but I am too anxious yo wait that long."
"It will be here before you know it. I would invite you over now but I am scared. I'm not sure I am ready yet."
"Emm, I told you I am going at your pace. I will not do anything you don't want me to. I love you and I would never hurt you."
"Thanks Andrew. I know this is hard on you as well."
"Well I think I will try and get some sleep. Night."
"Night. Be sure to be here tomorrow by six."
"Ok...and Emm... I do love you!"
"I love you too." That night Emmalynn could hardly sleep. She was so scared that dinner wouldn't go well. Soon enough it was morning and Emmalynn had to get Rylan ready for school and she had to get ready for work. Finally they were out the door and off for the day. Emmalynn decided that since she was the owner of the daycare she would take off early just this one day. She wanted to tidy up the house a bit before Andrew got there. To Emmalynn the day was going by so slowly but finally 2:30pm was here and Rylan was out of school. On the way home Emmalynn got a phone call from Andrew. "Hey Emm...I know you told me to be at your house around six but I was wondering if I could come a little earlier?"
"Sure, what time were you thinking?"
"Actually...Now!"
"Well Rylan and I are on the way home now. I wanted to tidy up a bit."
"I don't care how your house looks. I want to spend some time with Rylan. I know it's not easy not to have a father around."
"Ok... sure come on over. But I am going to clean with you there."
"Yes ma'am. I will be there in 20 minutes."
