”I smiled at the future Contessa Maria Louisa Francesca de San Finzione.“No.” I told her as I stood. “I thought you handled it like a Contessa...”That got a smile back before she left to go meet Stavro and I went to go spend some time with the little people that everything the past couple days had been for.Troy, Julie, and Helen got back Monday night. The three of us had a lovely reunion and Helen listened to Ramirez and Ortega give her lectures about responsibility while Maria alternated between. Norman didn't move until the sun was far up in the morning sky. He awoke to a sore neck plus the smell of bacon and coffee and a knock at his bedroom door.In response to his "Who is it?" Fran swept into the room pushing a covered breakfast cart. She placed the cart by his bed and pulled a chair up to the other side. She raised the cover and displayed two settings for breakfast. She announced, "Breakfast is served. I'm going to eat with you this morning if it's okay with you." Sure. But why?". Just then Ally came up and saw me talking to her behind the dugout. "Sam, who the fuck is this?" I forgot how sexy Ally was, she was wearing tight spandex shorts, Nike free runs with high white baseball socks with blue stripes at the top (our school colors) and a tight, sleeveless, female version of my baseball jersey with her hair down. But this other girl was crazy sexy as well, she was wearing extremely short jean shorts, the same free runs as Ally ironically, a belly showing tight green. I think she figured that out because she blushed a little when she caught me."I can't eat when someone is staring at me," she said with an embarrassed giggle."Sorry," I said, my face heating as I suddenly focused on my cereal."Just don't be so obvious about it, all right?"I smiled shyly, feeling like my mother had caught my hand in the cookie jar. I didn't want to scare Gina off; I wanted her to hang out with me."So where did you get such a great tan?" I asked her."It's because my mother is.
