Short Preview:
…Julie found herself asking, “Is your vacation over?”
Ashleigh looked up and in a serious tone answered, “If you could shower and get ready. I need to get going.”
“Yes Ma’am.”
Ashleigh spotting Julie’s disappointed body language, “We’ll talk on the way. I really need to get to work.”
“Yes Ma’am.”…
…Julie was unsure of how to ask the follow up question. She was grateful Ashleigh explained.
“There was no way Bob ever allowed anyone the opportunity to hurt me.”
In a very serious tone Ashleigh stated, “The bouncers would have killed anyone who touched me.”
This made Julie smile. Julie correctly assumed Ashleigh was flirty all her life. She imagined Ashleigh as a young girl melting the hearts of the toughest of men.
She asked, “Bouncers of the club? Or the bodyguards of the musicians?”
Ashleigh stopped and looked up at her, “I never thought about that.”
Julie smiled.
“Most likely both.”
Ashleigh smiled, “Thinking about it. I believe some of the musicians I met would have kicked someone’s ass too.”
Julie asked, “Like who?”
Ashleigh touched Julie, “You know I never name names. It would have most likely have been any number of the country singers. Like you guys say down here. They would have Defended my honor.”
Julie respected this, “Yes Ma’am.”
“Musicians from all types of music were good to me.”
She became serious, “There were others I just knew to stay away from. I have to say. Looking back on it. The wives and girlfriends who were on tour seemed to mother me.”…
…Ashleigh on purpose changed subjects, “Your Mom confirmed you’ll be getting your drivers license over the summer.”
“First I’ll need to take a written test to get my permit. Here in Florida they make you keep a permit for a year. During the year I’ll need to drive fifty hours of behind-the-wheel experience with ten of them being at night. After the year is when I’m able take my drivers test. ”
Ashleigh answered, “That’s cool.”
Julie asked, “Y’all want to teach me how to drive manual?”
“I’ll teach you when you get the permit.”
“Yes Ma’am.”
“I hope Y’all will walk Nikita?”
The word walk caused Nikita to poke her nose up front.
Julie pet her, “You are such a good girl.”
Nikita loved the attention…
…Belinda mentioned, “Every pitcher has a bad game. When you went to shortstop you calmed everyone down.”
Mindy-Lynn added, “You made some great plays.”
Julie smiled then held back tears, “It wasn’t enough.”
Belinda trying to be positive stated, “We have next year.”
Mindy-Lynn said, “If you dwell on the last game how are Y’all able to play well in the next game?”
“It ain’t fair using my own words against me.”
The girls giggled and then became somber again.
Belinda said, “I’m looking forward to playing with U’s next year.”
Mindy-Lynn glared at Julie
Julie answered, “I’ll be there.”
The two girls smiled.
Belinda said with determination in her voice, “We’s better kick Boca Raton’s ass next year.”
Both Julie and Mindy-Lynn smiled at the way she pronounced Boca Raton. It amazed the locals on how often people from the rest of the country butchered the name of this town.
This encourage Julie, “We will. We’ll win it all next year.”
This excited Mindy-Lynn, “There’s the Julie we’all know.”
They heard the first warning bell…
…For one of the few times when people spotted Ms. Ashleigh they turned and headed in the opposite direction. Ashleigh pretended she never noticed.
This disappointed Nikita a great deal. One of the reasons she liked Work Territory is all of the people who greeted her. Nikita sensed Woman with the Funny Smells. This human: gave her treats, greeted her, gave her water, made noises at her, took her for walks, and took her out to make markings.
She sensed a new female human near Woman with Many Smells.
When Ashleigh passed the long wall of the hallway and was in the open area she spotted Brittany standing alongside of the Haley’s desk.
Haley briefly looked at the letter inside of an envelope, she handed it back to Brittany, and suggested, “This is customer service. Have it go to Sally.”
This is when Brittany spotted Ashleigh.
Haley followed Brittany’s look.
Ashleigh spotted Haley whisper something to Brittany. Brittany stood for a second. She was fascinated to see Nikita. She focused. Brittany: turned, opened the glass doors to the office, and went to her desk. Ashleigh noticed a mail cart next to Brittany’s desk…
…Brittany felt better if she handled Ms. Ashleigh and Mr. Bob’s mail. One of the reasons she felt this way was Mr. Bob being the author Mr. Heart. She would do everything in her power to make sure no one discovered Mr. Bob was Mr. Heart. She took this seriously because Mr. Bob asked her too.
She felt people sticking posted notes on Ms. Ashleigh’s monitor was a disaster waiting to happen. She was happy to collect them, type them out, and place the notes in plastic sealed bags. She wanted to stop people from putting posted notes on her monitor but she was unsure if she should or not.
She looked up when she heard Ashleigh say, “Go to your spot.”
Ashleigh nodded her head.
Brittany returned in kind.
Nikita went running to her spot.
Brittany felt it was a very beautiful dog, a dog breed she never was in contact with before; she wondered if it was wise to have a dog like this in Florida. She understood the love an owner could have for a pet. She could tell Nikita was in great shape and was well taken care off. She worried about the heat of summer. She knew the dog could easily overheat.
She was studying the dog.
Nikita lifted her head and sniffed this human female. She sensed this human spent a lot of time with many different animals. Other animals marked her as friendly. Nikita sensed this female human cared about her. She sat up. It was difficult for Nikita to stay at her spot.
Brittany looked through the glass. She observed Haley and Ms. Ashleigh having an intense conversation. She could tell Ashleigh was paying attention to Nikita and herself.
Brittany was unable to help herself, “Nikita?”
Nikita was unsure of what she said.
“Come?”
This she understood and ran over to Friendly Female. Nikita was unable to understand the noises Friendly Female were making but she felt so comfortable with her she laid on her back. She wanted this woman to pet her belly…
