CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

Young Annabelle came into the house from school the following day going straight to her mother.

“Mom, you’ve got to do something about Billy,” Her daughter said.

“Why? What’s he doing?” Alison asked pouring her a glass of milk.

“Every time Stan comes near me, Billy is there to interrupt us.”

Alison sighed deeply.

“What does he think we’re going to do at school?” Annabelle asked.

“I’ll talk to him, honey.” Alison smiled. “Go upstairs and get out of your school clothes.”

“Okay, mom. Thanks,” she said before she walked away.

Alison watched her daughter go up the stairs knowing she was growing up. Too fast as far as Alison was concerned. She now watched Billy and Annabelle out in the front yard. Annabelle had her arm on Billy’s shoulder and they were whispering to each other. As they walked in the front door, they looked at her and stopped talking.

“Hi, Mom,” Billy said. “Can I get a glass of milk?”

“Sure, honey.” Alison watched as Annabelle looked everywhere but at Alison. She turned and followed her son out to the kitchen. Billy was just finishing the glass of milk when Alison walked into the kitchen. “Billy, I need to speak with you.”

“Sure, mom.”

“Your sister tells me that you’ve been bothering her and Stan.”

Billy glanced at Annabelle’s face before he turned around and washed out his glass. When he turned around he was blushing. “I’m sorry, mom.”

“Go upstairs and take off your school clothes. We’ll talk about this later.”

“Okay,” he said leaving the kitchen, but not before his face showed an apology to Annabelle.

“What are you doing?” Alison asked Annabelle.

“Nothing,” she said softly.

“What do you think your daughter is going to do at school?” Annabelle didn’t answer. “Then you get Billy involved in your little plan.”

Annabelle walked up to her and put her arm around Alison. “I’m sorry, Al. I just want to make her safe.”

“Annie is the most responsible person I know. She’s not going to do anything foolish and Stan looks very responsible too.”

“I know, Al.” Annabelle looked away. “Annie’s a beautiful girl and it’s going to be hard for Stan to resist her.”

“No that was only you with me.” Alison turned into Annabelle’s embrace and kissed her mouth. “Trust our daughter to do the right thing.” Alison lifted Annabelle’s chin. “Okay?”

“Okay, Al.”

Annabelle took Billy aside after dinner. “Billy, I was wrong to ask you to follow Annie. I’m sorry.”

“That’s okay, dad. I’ll keep an eye on her from a distance,” Billy said with a grin. “Mom, bawled you out, huh?”

Annabelle shuffled her feet. “Yeah,” she said chuckling as she walked away.

Alison invited Stan and Stanley for Sunday dinner the following weekend.

“Are you playing cupid, Alison?” Annabelle asked Sunday morning. “Don’t interfere.”

“I am not playing cupid or interfering. Your daughter likes Stan and I’m being a gracious parent.”

“Right. You came down on me for interfering and now you’re doing the same. Leave Bill and Stan alone.”

“There’s nothing wrong with them spending some time together. I’d want someone to do that for me.” Alison insisted.

“You are such a romantic,” Annabelle said pulling Alison in for a hug.
