My Best Friend by Ancelli

phone, “I’ll talk to you next Sunday Grandpa.” She walked into his office. He was looking stunning in his black suit.
    He looked up from his computer and saw her . She was wearing a short black dress with red pumps. He got up, walked over to her, whispered i n her ear. “You look beautiful,” and kissed her.
    “Y ou don’t look too bad yourself.”
    “How’s your grandfather?”
    “He’s good, a re you ready to go?”
    “Yes,” she said walking out his office.
    “ I’ll go get Angel.” Angel was now one month old. She was dressed in a little yellow dress with two yellow and white bows and white sandals. He walked into the nursery and picked her up. “Wow, little one, you look precious.”
    They walked out of the house, set the alarm, and walked to the car. He opened the door for Kay and put Angel in her car seat, got in the driver’s seat, started his Lexus and drove off. He turned, and said, “I’m so blessed.”
    “No, we’ re bles sed.” She held his hand as he drove to the church.
    It was their first time visiting the Word of Life church. The deacon asked if there was anyone new in the congregation that day. Jason stood up and said , “Good morning, everyone. My name is Jason Anderson. This is my wife, Kay, and our daughter Angel. We are happy to be here today.”
    Everyone clapped and said welcome. Everyone sat back down, and when the congregation started singing, they joined in. The choir started singing one of her favorite’s hymns, “Amazing Grace.” Tears ran down her face as she remembered being in church with her parents.
    The sermon hit close to home. The pastor talked about love's secret ingredient. The pastor started his sermon by saying, “I would like to talk about love’s secret ingredient and read to you from. First Corinthian, Chapter Thirteen, Verse Five. Love is patient and kind. It is not jealous or boastful. It is not arrogant or rude. Love never insists on its way.” His sermon spoke about love with God, relationships, parents and children.
    The sermon was over, and the choir starting singing. The pastor called for anyone who needed prayer. When Church was over, the members of the congregation were all talking and introducing themselves. The ladies kept coming up saying that Angel was beautiful.
    Everyone said their goodbyes and got in their car. As he was driving away from the church, he turned to her. “That was nice. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to church. That was refreshing.”
    She turned away from him, and said, “Yes it was, and it brought back so many memories of my childhood with my parents.” She turned to him, “Thank you for loving me.”
    He took her hand and started rubbing it, turned for a second. “We have love’s secret ingredient.” She nodded and kissed his hand. They went to lunch and headed home.

 
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Eleven
     
    It was Monday morning. Kay had been up since three with Angel. Jason got up, went to the bathroom, and did his ritual, then got dressed. He was dressed in his business suit when he went into the baby’s room to say goodbye. When he entered, Kay was asleep sitting in the rocking chair, and Angel was smiling at the angels up on the ceiling. He kissed her and said, “Be good for Mommy.” He went over to kiss Kay.
    Her eyes opened. “Is it time for you to go to work already ? I didn’t make breakfast yet.” He kissed her.
    “I’ll get something on my way to work.” Sh e got up and hugged him goodbye.
    After he left, she made hers elf a bowl of cereal . When she was finished she s tarted cleaning the house and washing clothes. She never complained about housework. She enjoyed doing chores. She fed Angel, burped her, and put her dow n to sleep in her bassinet. After her chores s he went into Jason’s office to check her work email, and that’s when she got an idea. What if she worked from home a few days a week, maybe Tuesdays and Wednesdays and went into the office on busy days— Mondays,
