Front Porch Tales
Bette Porter stood on her front porch of her house slowly sipping her coffee watching as the rising sun slowly changed the morning sky from dusky grey to orange. She could see Mr. Robinson, her next door neighbor who owned a hardware store, getting himself ready to start his new day at his shop. She has known him for her entire life.
“Good morning, Mr. Robinson.”
“Morning Bette. It’s a lovely day isn’t it?”
“Yeah, it is. You’re up early today.”
“I have to open the shop early. They’re going to deliver the new machine today.”
“Oh, ok. You have a nice day Mr. Robinson.”
“I will and you too Bette. I have to go now. I’ll see you tonight.”
“Ok, see you later.”
This has been Bette’s routine since her wife passed away 7 years ago, she would sit in front of her porch until it was time to wake Angelica and get her ready for school. She works as the deputy sheriff in the small town of Spencerville.
“Angelica, sweetie wake up it’s already 7, you don’t want to be late for school.”
“5 more minutes mommy.”
“Angelica Julie Porter, if you’re not awake before I finish counting to ten, I’m going to ask Mrs. Robinson to send you to school.”
“No mommy, please no!” Angelica giggles and quickly runs to the bathroom and starts getting ready for school. She hates it everytime Mrs. Robinson has to send her to school, that old lady would talk non stop about her childhood till they reach the school.
Since Bette was promoted as the Deputy Sheriff she has been busy and Angelica has to stay with Mr. and Mrs. Robinson until Bette’s shift is over. Particularly the evenings seemed even more hectic for Bette. There was always so much to do, paying the bills, shopping, cleaning. She has to make everything perfect for her and Angelica. When Julie was still alive, she always made sure that everything was done by the time she got home. She feels lonely sometimes and she also hasn’t dated anyone since Julie died. Her best friend Tim did introduce her to a couple of his friends but she hasn’t been interested in anyone.
“Mommy, I forgot to give you this. It’s a note from Ms. Tina.” Angelica gives Bette the note.
“Do you know what it’s all about? You’re not in trouble at school are you, Angel?” Bette says while reading the note.
“No” Angelica shrugs
“Here it says that she needs to see me after school, are you doing ok in class?”
Angelica shrugged “uh, huh”.
“Ok, I’ll see your teacher after school.” Bette answered.
After breakfast, and making sure that Angelica was ready to go Bette helped her with her backpack and lead her to the front door.
