I was irritatedly awakened by the incessant ringing of the telephone downstairs. I nudged my wife gently a futile effort on my part of waking her up to answer the phone. But alas she just turned her back to me and slept right thru the piercing sound.
"Damn it's 3 o'clock in the morning...." I cursed as I grabbed my watch from the side table.
Hobbling out of the room and gingerly making my way down the stairs I could feel the burning pain on my joints and back.
"Admit it Jack your no spring chicken anymore..." I told myself as the thought of turning 50 this weekend dawned on me.
Finally reaching the phone, it took of my self control not to lash out at the person at the other end of the line.
"Hello?"
"Uh...Hello....Jack?"
"Uh...yeah this Jack...cousin Vic?" I reconized the voice as belonging to my cousin Vic.
"Yeah...I'm so sorry to have disturbed you at this ungodly hour Jack but I have to ask you a favor. Me and Ana will be leaving for Europe in just a couple of hours and I was wondering if you could just keep an eye on Paige and house for us? I know it's quite such a short notice but I have no one to turn to....your the only family close enough to watch over her....." his voice sounded desperate.
"When are you leaving and why can't Ana stay behind?"
"Well we have been planning to bring Paige along but an apparent commitment at school prevents her from come along....please say yes Jack...."
"Ok...ok....what time is your flight later...."
He filled me in with their itenirary and I found out that they would be away for a week.
"Ok i'll be there at 7 in the morning...." then closed the reciever making way back to my bedroom.
