I said hi to his mom which worked the night shift at the local wallmart at 10pm. her dad got laidnoff but went to sleep and he was out when he slept. ...fter we ate we plyed some xbox and down came kiana at 9:00 she was in her pajamas and had a light tanktop on her she smiled said hi and sat down next to me her grothers eyes were glued to the sony plasma screen and i made small talk with kiana after awhile her mom came down grabed her purse and was out the door. her dad was asleep as it was now. His eyelids, heavy with post-coital satisfaction, dropped, his breathing becoming deeper.'Damn it.''What?' he asked, his eyes barely opening.'I need the bathroom.''It's over there,' he replied, his eyes still closed, pointing towards the door on the other side of the room.'I know where it is,' she said, easing herself onto one elbow. 'I'm not one of your side-bitches, who's too stupid to remember.' The corners of his mouth creased. She sighed, sliding out from under the sheet and his eyes. With the heads up that Kitty had given me I asked for a hundred dollars deposit against their bar bill that evening. Not one person hesitated to fork it over. I had watched a lot of very happy people leave that first night.A little while after closing I let my staff go home. They had put in a full day and were beat. Kitty had to stay and help me clean up because I was her ride home. Kitty went into each of the forty booths to collect the glasses and wipe down the tables and benches. I took care. We seemed to be working some things out. I had an internship job set up for the summer and the tentative plan was that I would pick up Jo and our daughter after it ended and move them in with me. Things weren't real solid though. It is hard to have that kind of discussion over the phone. I could sense some distance from Jo when we spoke. It was not real obvious, more a feeling that she was being reserve. I attributed it to the tenseness of the situation. I had never even dreamed that she might.
