Chapter 7

Tony stopped by Ellen's motel and went to the door to pick her up. She opened
the door and rushed into his arms. He was really surprise but didn't say
anything and just stood there holding her while she was sobbing.

"Ellen, shall we go get something to eat. I am just about starved."

"Sounds good, I just had a few snacks on the plane but nothing to fill me up."

Tony and Ellen stopped at a little Italian restaurant and placed their orders.
"Tony, I bet you are wondering what the voice from your past wants. I will just
start at the beginning and fill you in."

"Yes, I am dying of curiosity. There is no hurry because we have all night. I
must say you really look good. It seems like it has been a century since we
split. Ellen, I am going to be up front with you. I had very strong feeling for
you but that is all in the past and I still want to keep you as a friend. When
my ex and I split, I more or less just drifted with no real purpose. Just
recently, I have met someone and I am beginning to have very strong feelings . I
don't think we can have what we had before."

"Tony, that is not the reason that I am here. I am so happy for you. I hope that
I can meet your new love. I bet she is a real doll."

"Ellen, prepare yourself. My new `friend is not a she but a he."

"Tony, Your private life is yours and yours alone. As long as you are happy and
no one is being forced, then I say go for it. What does Martha think about all
of this?"

"Martha, feels the same as you do. She says she now has two sons, to care for.
Ellen. I cut you off before you had a chance to explain why you are here."

"Tony, I don't even know where to begin. Right now, my life is all messed up. I
lost Auntie about 6 months ago. My parents moved to Mexico and wanted me to go
and live with them. I love both of them dearly and would do nothing to hurt
them. I am 28 and need to have a life of my own. They also need their freedom.
So I told them, No but thanks!"

"I agree with you 100%. I still have Martha living with me and I will continue
do allow her to stay. She would be completely lost if I tried to move her into a
condo. I lost Dad about 1 ½ years ago. He left me his business and the little
7-11 that he and mom started out with. Yes, I still have it. I just couldn't get
rid of it."

"Tony, I have stalled long enough. I am 3 months pregnant. After Auntie died, I
started playing around. I met this guy who turned out to be a complete jerk. You
and I can really pick losers, Can't we? Anyway we started going to bed together.
He just wanted a free ride in the bed and I let him. He just used me for his own
pleasure and he was not all that good in bed. That is a whole different story
and I won't bother you with details."
"Ellen, I am so glad for you. You will make a marvelous mother."

"Tony, when I told him about being pregnant, he just about flipped. He called me
every name in the book and even hit me several times. Then he told me that he
was married and had no intentions of getting a divorce and that I was just a
common whore which he used to get his jollies. I never had any feelings for him
and only went to bed with him because the first time we were at a party and I
had a little too much to drink. He got me to go to bed with him and after that I
was expected to be there for him when ever he wanted me. He just used me and
didn't care about my feelings. I tried to resist but he would beat me and
threatened to kill me. I discovered that if I let him have his way with me that
life was a lot easier. He did pay my rent and gave me a car to drive. He would
just use me and a few minutes later he was gone."

"Will you tell me his name and where he lives and I will see to it that he would
be punished by the law or me.?"

"No, Tony, I don't want you to become involved. He gave me some money to have an
abortion and that is what I am going to do. There is no way that I want to have
his baby. I know that I could never love it and I don't want him to even know
where I am. I want you to help me find a place somewhere so that I can go into
hiding and never see him again."

"Ellen, I am sure that we can find a couple to take your child and would give it
a good home. Abortions are very drastic and very final. You must remember that ½
of the baby is yours. I would like to see you reconsider and think about
different ways of handling this situation. You would need counseling before and
afterwards. I am willing to get it for you now and see if we could find an
alternative."

"Why would you do all of this for me?"

"Ellen, at one time you were my life. I still have feelings for you even though
they may not be romantic but they are still there. You are a very sweet and dear
person and I won't let you throw your life away. I value your friendship way to
much to let it just slip away from me, again. I know there must be another way
out! Are you willing to let me try?"

"I don't know. What happens if we can't find a workable solution? What then?"

"We can cross those bridges when we come to them. Until we are in a corner with
no way out, then we will explore all our avenues. OK?"

"I will give you one week and then I am gone. One thing for sure I will not have
a late term abortion. I am getting very close to the cut off date as far as I
concerned" said Ellen.

"Fair enough. Ellen, I would like for you to go home with me and say hello to
Martha and my friend. I have a four bedroom house so we can put you up. Shall we
go and stop by your motel and get your things?" Ellen just shook her head yes
and started crying again.


Tony took her in his arms and soon she was calm and they were on their way.
"Ellen, would you mind telling Martha and my friend, Dave your story? I know
both of them have hearts of gold will do everything in their power to help you."
Again she just shook her head yes.

When Tony and Ellen arrived at the house, Martha was right there to greet them.
"Ellen, you are as beautiful as ever. Come here, Honey, I need a hug. It has
been a long time since I had one from you."

"Ellen, I would like to introduce you to my friend that I was telling you about.
This is Dave and Dave I would like to have you meet, Ellen. Dave, I have already
told Ellen that I am making eyes at you. So you can just relax because she knows
that we could become a couple in the near future."

"Oh, I don't know. I might like to court this lovely young lady." chuckled Dave.
"Just teasing Tony. Welcome, Ellen! May I have a big hug from you? We are
huggers around this place."

"Good, I need all the hugs I can get." Smiled Ellen.

"I have a fresh pot of coffee and I made a lemon cream pie this evening. So If
you want dessert lets head to the kitchen." Said Dave.

"You made it?" Asked Ellen with a surprise look on her face.

"He sure did. He is trying to take over my job. If he keeps this up, I won't be
able to get through a door. I just hope that he doesn't try to kick me out of
the kitchen all together. If he does, I will just kick his ass good and show him
who is boss." Laughed Martha.

After we had finished our dessert, we just sat around visiting. Ellen finally
had the nerve to tell Martha and Dave her story.

"Come here you poor child and let me hold you." Said Martha. "Just tell me where
to find him and I will go and cut his nuts off with a dull rusty knife."

"I will hold him while Martha does her job." Dave said agreeing with Martha.

"No, I don't want any of you to get involved. Tony has already offered his help
but I told him the same thing. Rumor has it that that the rotten son of a b----
is already under investigation for the rape of a 15 year old. I have already
given a written deposition along with 2 other girls. So his days are numbered
and his time will be spent behind bars. Not only is he facing forcible sex
charges but has a list of others as long as your arm. He has two wives that I
know about. I don't have any idea how many more. I think the law will do the job
for us."

"I have had enough doom and gloom. Let's change the subject and move on to
something else. Dave, I called a good friend of mine who has a very classic and
up-beat restaurant. It is one of the very best in the country. It has 3 rooms
that are used for private parties and is very,very expensive. He has an opening
for a private chief and would like to have you come tomorrow and prepare a lunch
for a small group of his friends. That is if you are interested. Of course,
Martha, Ellen and I will be in the group. The three of us will act as your
assistants, you know pealing potatoes. Chopping lettuce and etc. You can use
your own recipes or use theirs."

"You bet I am interested. I was thinking about looking for a job as a cook. I
will have to use their recipes. Mine are all in a hock-shop, I just hope that
they are still there. What time would he like for me to be there?"

"I will give him a call and make all the arrangements. After we finish, why
don't we go to the lake and spend the rest of week and week-end there. Dave, you
and I will get to "camp out" again. Remember, that is only a three bedroom
cabin."

"Maybe Ellen and I will do the camping. The last time you two went camping, look
at all the trouble you got into. If we put you in the cabin and lock all the
doors and nail the windows shut, we should be able to control the two of you."
Roared Martha.


"Something tells me that this is a story I would like to hear!" Reacted Ellen.

Dave and party arrived at the restaurant and they could not believe their eyes.
Here before them was a place only dreamed about or seen in the movies. Tony
introduced his party and the owner took them to the room where Dave would cook
his trial meal.

Dave spent about ½ hour going over menus with Martha and Ellen. Tony just sat on
the sidelines sipping his coffee. Soon the four of them went into motion
preparing the lunch that would determine Dave's acceptance or rejection of his
application for private chef.

Martha, Ellen and Tony were seated with the other guest. Lunch was served and
this was a meal fit for the Queen or President. Two young waiters served the
meal. When lunch was completed, the owner asked that the `chef' to come forward
and meet the guests.

Dave stepped into the dinning room and immediately every one stood and gave him
an ovation. "Dave, what I didn't tell you that this is a group of the top chefs
and restaurant owners in the area. I am happy to say that they have all given
their stamp of approval and I am prepared to offer you a contract, if you care
to accept then we can go to my office and complete the deal."

Martha, Ellen and Tony all started jumping up and down. Dave just stood there
ready to pass out. Finally, he was able to speak. "Thank you, Sir! I would like
to say that I accept. Thank you again." Then he had to sit down before he passed
out and fell on the floor.

"My pleasure, young man and please drop the Sir." the owner said embracing Dave.

"I will, Sir!" Dave and everyone in the room laughed.
