Kelly

Kelly’s cheeks hurt. There wasn’t anything she could do it about it, not that she wanted to. Plastered on her face was the smile that had been there since she left Danny at his van, a few hours ago. It was as if they hadn’t been apart for fifteen years, or that she made one of the biggest mistakes of her life when she walked away from him. Her own ego and stupidity ruled her teenage mind. She wasn’t thinking clearly and only wanted to get away from Gray, and Danny because he was the source of her humiliation. She had stupidly thought he was trying to embarrass her, to make her look stupid – she was an idiot. Her mother or Melody should’ve slapped her in the face, made her face reality. Throwing a fit, ignoring the boy she was in love with and subsequently leaving home was incredibly childish. To alter your life over something as stupid as being stood up for prom and being embarrassed in front of friends was incredibly stupid and selfish. If she had just spoken to Danny, her life could’ve been different.

Although, doing so wouldn’t have given her Kori, and she wouldn’t give her up for anything. Not even the massive check her in-laws wrote, suggesting she walk away without her daughter. She hadn’t told anyone, not even her parents or Melody, and didn’t really care if Alan knew whether his parents tried to buy her off. She wasn’t for sale. Not in the divorce and definitely not when it came to her daughter.

Music played in the background while she mixed the batter for her next batch of muffins. There were cupcakes baking in the oven now and a tray on the cooling rack waiting to be frosted. It was only after she frantically called her mother, did she agree to come in to help. Kelly didn’t tell her that she drank a bottle of wine the night before and barely slept, or that she spent the morning on the beach with Danny Weatherly, where had it not been for Kori, she’d still be. She wanted her mom to believe she was busy, that the first day was so overwhelmingly successful she couldn’t keep up. The look in her mom’s eye though told her otherwise. Did she know about her encounter with the sexy town doctor?

When he’d pulled her legs into his lap, she’d wanted to melt, to fall into him and have him hold her. Her heart raced. Her palms became sweaty. It was like they were back in high school, shyly flirting with one another, until he kissed her under the moonlight with the waves lapping at their bare feet. They say you never forget your first kiss, which she definitely agreed with, because sitting out there with him this morning reminded her of everything they’d shared.

As she poured batter into the muffin pan, her hips swayed slightly to the music. She couldn’t remember the last time she felt like dancing or even smiling for that matter.
