Crystal: Ready Sylvia?
Sylvia: You bet giggling
The girls put rubber snakes in Dina’s bed. Fake blood everywhere and a big fake rat that looked real and when you came near it it would squeal. They put fake ants on the cournters and all over the house spiders and worms to make Dina squeal and leave running. Dina finished cleaning in the laundry room and making dinner when she came into the living room to see the girls sitting coloring. She asked if they would like a small snack prior to dinner and neither wanted anything. Dina when into her room to get some things for the kitchen. She had her own set of messuring utensils she liked they were her grandmothers and took them everywhere. Walking into her room she was startled by all she saw. But she didn’t jump or scream. Dina know the children were tryin got scare her away. But she was a tom boy till her teens and her favorites were snakes and rats. Dina picked up the rat by it’s tail and walked out into the living room with it
Dina; Girls why did you put this rat and all those snakes in my room? I am not one who is easily scared. I love these things. I have been a tom boy until I was 15 and used similar to scare my teachers. Laughing
Just then the door opens and in walks Michael from work. They didn’t see him immediately but Michael’s eyes caught the rat and a sense of dread went through him. Dina knew they were being mischievious so she didn’t want them to get into trouble and said that she was showing them something for show and tell at school of what children did when she was little. The relief on Michaels face brought soft smiles to both his and her faces. His girls looked on like what went wrong? Making them more determined to get rid of this Dina Santos.
Michael; Babies. Have a good day today?? Smiling kissing them.
Sylvia; Yes daddy
Crystal; We sure did daddy. Kissing his check. I love you…
Michael: I love you too baby girl. Dinner smells so good huh??
Sylvia; Yes daddy It sure does.
Michael; Don’t forget I am going bowling with my friends tomorrow night okay girl. You much be good for Dina okay?
Crystal; we will daddy. Promise.
The girls behaved all day seemingly as if that was the only little prank they were going to pull on the babysitter or housekeeper Dina as their father says but they were not through yet. The girls were merely waiting for the right time to strike. They watched her closely all day. Sylvia noticed she was admiring a fabrige egg on her dresser and then fluttered around her room cleaning up making her own bed and taking things to the laundry area. Both knew that Dina would not be in her room the rest of night until bedtime. They needed to be careful this was their fathers bowling night. The first in many months and they wanted him to see his friends too. Crystal missed Charlie who use to bounce her on his knee but he doesn’t come over anymore which made her sad and Slyvia loved Tim who always brought her Skittles and they would play hide and seek. So it was important they didn’t ruin daddy’s night.
AT STAN’S BRUNSWICK BOWL….
Charlie: MICHAEL!! MY MAIN MAN!! HOW THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?? READY TO KNOCK THEM ON THEIR ASSES??!! He said joyfully.
Michael: You know it Char!! I’m a bit rusty though let’s see if I can recover my groove eh? Laughing.
Tim: Hey man! You’re on!! Set em up and we’ll knock em down!! Laughing
Charlie: So, how are the little ones? How are you doing?
Michael: I’m okay he says sadly. I miss my baby my Angel but..I got my princesses to think of you know? They can be hard on the housekeepers I have hired in the past. So far, this Dina Santos has lasted far longer. Maybe this time they are finally out of their pranks. Shaking his head with wry smile on his face.
Tim: Dina Santos? Hmmm…is she hot?? Smiling
Charlie: Maybe she can be for you too Michael. You aren’t celebit or a monk it’s time you get some action for yourself. Winking
Michael: Come on guys!! Smiling wider then he meant to. She isn’t there for me. She’s there for my girls. Picking up his bowling ball to hide the gleam in his eyes.
Charlie; HA!! So YOU do have the hots for her too??!! Michael!!! Buddy!! That’s a good thing. Angel would not want you to become a fidgety old man alone and grumpy!! Come on and live a little. If the girls really like her as you say then maybe??
Tim: Ol’ Charlie’s right and you know it. It’s time Michael. No one will replace Angel. She was the love of your life and we get that but you need this for you too. Smiling.
Michael: His smile faded, looking up. I know but..she wouldn’t be interested in me. An instant family. Not many will go for that. I… sighs…I’m just not ready yet okay. Turning to bowl and hide the tears in his eyes. It’s true he does like Dina but thinks she will not want him or an instant family. Little did he know that Dina had already fallen in love with him and loves his daughters very much.
Tim: Michael man. We’re sorry we just want to see you happy again. And you know that would be Angel’s wish for you too. He said more seriously.
Michael: I know you guys mean well. But can we just..drop it and bowl huh? Winking at them
Charlie: Okay Michael but you know you need to consider it!! By the way!! I’m still going to beat your ass laughing.
Michael: Bet me!! Laughing at Charlie.
The three laugh like old times and Michael really had a great time and forgot all his worries of his life for just a brief moment. Back at the house though, things were not as well as it seemed. The girls were about to play their prank.
Crystal: Let’s do it Sylvia! Giggling.
Sylvia: giggling..Let’s
Crystal: Dina!! Dina! Can you help us a minute?? Calling from another room
Dina: Sure. One sec. She walked out of the kitchen not seeing the skateboard and went flying down on it.
Dina hit the floor hard with a THUMP!! As she tried to stand she noticed her ankle was a bit sore but not bad. Dina stands up and starts to walk forward when a face full of flour hits her and chocolate syrup from overhead. She can hear the girls giggling from their room.
The front door opens as Dina is trying to walk away to the bathroom to clean up. She is limping a bit on her ankle.
Michael: Girls; Dina. I’m ho….his smile just disappeared instantly as he saw the mess and saw Dina limping away. He comes over to her and immediately helps her. I’m so sorry about this Dina. I will deal with my girls. Michael’s voice turns sad. But he too was fighting how his body was reacting to being so close to her. He was tingling all over and an overwhelming desire to kiss her grabbed him.He was trembling but fought it.
Dina; I’m okay Michael Ill clean up the mess. Just want to change clothes first okay? Please don’t worry you had a long day go relax dinner’s in the over keeping warm for you. I’ll get it in a moment.
Michael; No Dina. I will get my dinner and cleam up. You just rest you ankle for tonight. smiling it will be okay.Helping her to her room.
Michael walks into the girls rooms who both are faking they wre in bed. Both of you now come here. Michael says sadly.
Crystal: Yes daddy. She says softly.
Sylvia; Hello Daddy. She replies
Michael; Why do you do these things? Dina is here to help us. Why must you try to hurt her or scare her? Please girls no more of this. You are breaking my heart. Would your mommy like what you are doing? He says sadly to his daughters.
Crystal; No daddy. Looking down we’re sorry.
Sylvia; We won’t do it again. Looking down.
Michael; I hope you are telling me the truth. He kisses their chees and stands. I love you both very much. Leaving the room.
