3. Angelica watched as her nieces and nephews played in the back yard of her parents' home with Jerrie; he was trying to teach them the ins and outs of softball.
A soft noise brought her out of her thoughts and she smiled at her mother.
"Are you alright?" Claudia asked, going to Angelica; sitting beside her at the kitchen table.
Angelica smiled and nodded; looking out again. "Yeah, just watching Daddy playing." she said. "Thinking of going out for a swim."
Claudia nodded. "That new swimsuit you bought is upstairs." she said. "I'm sure Daddy would like seeing you prance around in it."
Angelica giggled and blushed lightly. "I'm not good at teasing, though." she said. "I need a lot of practice."
She stood, her smile growing. "But, I think I can do something, if you don't mind still."
Claudia shook her head. "Go ahead, I don't wanna get in the way of his family's traditions. He's told me before he's missed it." she said.
Angelica smiled and left the kitchen; going upstairs to the guest bedroom.
She changed quickly into the tiny lavender bikini and admired herself in the mirror for a minute.
Satisfied she went to the linen closet and grabbed a towel before going back downstairs.
Claudia passed her as she went through the kitchen; ushering the four little ones through the house, having bribed them out with a trip to the park.
With a quick check of her hair; Angelica stepped out onto the back porch, trying to seem like she didn't see Jerrie sitting in the swing, feeling his eyes on her as she strode out to the pool.
