I was in love with your Daddy. It’s hard not to love a good man,” her mother said quietly.
“Henry Patterson is definitely a good man…” Millie told her mother.
Chapter 7
Henry returned to his position on the line the next day much to the delight of many of his co-workers and supervisors. Working on his parts, he looked up as Bill called his name.
“How can I help you Bill?”
Bill smiled. “I’m just glad that you’re back man. That all went down so fast. I can’t believe what you did to Schmidt.”
Henry didn’t look up. “I didn’t DO anything to him. I protected myself like a man.”
Bill paused. “Well I’m glad it all worked out for you.”
“Thanks for all your concern.” Henry pinned him with a look.
Looking away, Bill said, “So what really happened with the bad parts.”
“They’re still investigating,” Henry told him. “All they know is that it wasn’t me.”
Bill nodded. “That’s good.”
Henry went back to his work as Bill continued. “At least you got all of this cleared up before the girls next game.” Henry looked quizzical. “By the way, did you leave the party early? I didn’t see you again.”
“No, I stayed for a while.”
Bill frowned. “I never did see Honey. I guess she left early.”
Tired of the games, Henry looked up. “She left with me and I took her home.”
“What? Why would you take Honey home?” Bill questioned.
Looking him in the eye, Henry answered, “That night I took her home because she needed a ride. Last night I took her home because I’m courting her.”
Bill dropped his parts. “You’re courting Honey?”
Henry answered in a clear firm voice. “Yes.”
“You didn’t even know about her a couple of weeks ago!” Bill huffed.
“Look, I’m not about to have another incident here. If you have something to say to me, you know where I’ll be after 5 pm,” Henry told him with a look before resuming his work.
At 5:01 Henry stood in line to punch his timecard. His first day back had been a regular day for the most part. Looking around, he didn’t see Bill in line so Henry finished his business before heading to his car in the parking lot. He had to pick Millie up in thirty minutes to practice with her and he didn’t plan on being late.
Henry opened the door just as he heard his name called. He dropped his lunch bag inside and closed the door as Bill approached.
“What can I do for you Bill?” Henry asked impatiently.
“Why Honey?” Bill demanded.
Henry gave him a look. “You really don’t know?”
Bill angered. “You said you didn’t like girl ballplayers. You didn’t even want to go to the game.”
“Look Bill, I’m not about to explain myself.” Henry opened the car door. “You’ve never even talked to the girl.”
“You knew I was going to,” Bill accused.
Henry shrugged. “Not my place to wait for you.” He turned to Bill. “Listen Bill, I didn’t go after Honey on purpose, things just happened.”
Bill frowned. “I’m not just going to lie down and let you have her!”
Henry lifted a brow. “Pardon me?”
“You heard me.” Bill stepped closer and Henry looked him over. “I saw her first!”
Henry nodded. “Tell you what Bill, if you think you can get Honey…give it your best shot.”
Bill watched as Henry climbed into his car and started the ignition. Henry looked at his watch then at Bill before he rolled the window down.
“I’m about to pick her up. Would you like me to give her a message for you?” Henry asked then waited as Bill walked away angrily. He shook his head before leaving to pick up Millie.
Henry smiled as he pulled in front of her house and found her sitting on the porch. He exited the car and Millie watched his confident stride as he approached. He’d unbuttoned his work shirt and the sides hung open showing a snug, crisp white T-shirt stretched across his broad chest. He reached the stairs
