I held onto Janessa's small hand as we walked around the garden looking for Ronnie. We walked to the orchard, but i stopped when i heard 2 female voices talking and quiet loudly I'd say. I hid behind a tree and tried to hear their conversation.
"She's irritating!" One huffs out.
The other snickers. "She's just like her snobby mom. You know what they say, the apple never falls far from the tree."
The dirty blonde nods. "Yeah, but soon I'll be living in that house."
"Why is that?" The brunette says.
The blonde smirks. "I banged her brother last night and let me tell you." She then mouths 'Big ass dick'.
I gag and cover Janessa's ears. I then grab her hand again and emerge from the tree. I make sure they can hear my foot steps so I stomp. They both looked scared, but quickly pull on the fakest smiles I've ever seen and that's saying a lot.
"Hi Miss Moore. It's such a pleasure to see you. I'm Juila." The dirty blonde says sticking out her hand to shake mines.
I wrinkle my nose looking down at her mud covered hand another reason i don't want to shake it is because she was obviously talking shit about me. "Okay."
The pale brunette then steps up. "Veronica. Gosh you are just even more gorgeous up close."
I nod. "Thanks. Do you guys know where Ronnie is?"
Veronica steps up right away. "By the rose bushes Ma'm."
I nod. "Thank you."
I pick up Janessa and walk away without looking back i can hear them then resume to talking about my brother. Ew. We approach the rose bushes from yesterday and i see Ronnie stand there writing something in a small, leather, notebook. I smile and skip up to him.
"Lunch time, daddy!" Janessa chirps.
Ronnie stuffs the notebook in his pocket then smiles at us. "I'm just going to clean up then I'll meet you at the table."
I nod. "Okay, we'll be by the pool."
We walk back and sit at the edge of the pool. I roll up the ends of Janessa's pants and let her get in in the shallowest part of the pool. She runs around splashing her hands and kicking her feet. We play with the beach balls while her dad comes.
Ronnie walks towards us. I can't help but check him out. He's obviously very fit and through that light grey shirt you can see his abs and muscular arms. He sweeps Janessa up making her squeal. He's such a great dad then it came to me.
He probably has a girl at home. Janessa's mom or his girlfriend. I felt my heart sink into my chest and without knowing it i felt my eyes getting water. I quickly blinked them away and smiled at the two.
"Janessa helped me cook today." I say and the young girl nods.
Ronnie smiles and looks at his daughter. "Looks like I'll have a little helper at home from now on."
"Your wife doesn't cook?" I ask trying to find out if he's single.
He shakes his head no. "No, just me and Nessa."
I get the feeling of relief and grin. "Oh well let's eat now."
