Before I am Famous

Daylene wakes Saturday morning to a knock at the front door. She puts on her robe and answers the door.
It is Sandy, Jason’s mom.

“Hi, Daylene. I know this is surprise but I wanted to come down and get to know ya. You know when Jason is away for the weekend.”

“Sure come in,” Daylene says and lets her in. Sandy sits her suitcase down and sits in the kitchen.

“I hope I didn’t wake you. Jason told me you are a singer.”

“No, I was already awake. You want some coffee?” Daylene asks while getting the pot ready.

“Sure, I ‘ll take some.”

After the coffee was done, Daylene sits down across from her mother-in-law. They smile at each other.

“Uh,” Daylene coughs, ” It is a good thing you came down this weekend cuz I have off tonight. See, the club has been holdin a talent contest and tonight are the finals. Someone is gonna get a 5,000 dollar prize. Maybe if you want later you can come along with me and listen to them. That way you can see where I work and where Jason and me met at.”

“Sure sounds good. Look I don’t normally bother Jason too much. You know he jsut called me and said he was getting married in 2 weeks. I just came down this weekend because I just wanted to get to know you. Please don’t think I overprotective or anything.”

“Well I am glad you are here. I want to get to know you too. Thanks again for the necklace to wear.”

The woman spend their day shopping for Jason for Christmas. Sandy treats her to supper at Red Lobster. Then the women come back and get ready for the club. They leave shortly before 8 and Daylene drives them to the club. The place is filling quickly and they find a table close to the stage.

“Hey Joe is working tonight. I want ya to meet him.” Daylene says and they go the bar.

“Hey there sweetheart,” Joe says and kisses her on the cheek, ” You come here on a Saturday night when you got off?”

“This here is Sandy, my mother-in-law I wanted her to come see this place. Sandy this is a good friend of mine and the bartnder, Joe.” The two shake hands.

“You’ve a got great daughter-in-law ain’t no one like her.” He makes them screwdrivers. Daylene reaches for her wallet. “You know sweetie, no charge for you or your lovely mother-in-law.”

“Thanks.”

They sit down at the table. “He seems very friendly. He likes you a lot.”

“We used to be together. I think he loved me but I did not love him so that’s why we are still friends,” Daylene tells her.
