to be able to chat with Josephina through FaceTime when I go back to San Diego and I can’t do that if you don’t have Wi-Fi,” I inform her, still standing my ground. “I called and made an appointment to have it set up.”
Still holding her stance, she looks doubtfully at me, then down at Josephina who has made her way over to our side. Right as Kasey is about to say something, Josephina quickly speaks up by asking. “What is FaceTime ?” her curious little mind taking over as she studies the technician awaiting orders. From the look on her face, I can see the little gears in her head coming up with all kinds of justifications.
Crouching down so I’m eye level with Josephina, I explain, “I’ll show you what it is if your mommy lets this man install the Internet,” I tell her, earning me a grumble from Kasey. I know exactly what I’m doing and I’m pretty sure it’s going to work.
Josephina’s eyes light up as she looks up to Kasey. “Please mommy?” her pleading blue eyes begging her as she tugs at her arm. Her lip is now pouting, making me chuckle when I also look at her.
She looks torn as she looks between Josephina and me. “Joseph, I don’t have a computer or device that requires it and I can’t afford the Internet. It would just be an extra bill for something I won’t use,” she argues.
Standing up to speak with her, I take a deep breath. “Kasey, you don’t have to worry about paying for it. I made sure to put the bill in my name. They have my credit card information on file so I’ll get the bill directly. You don’t have to worry about anything,” I inform her, my eyes now pleading with her. She looks back up at me and I quickly add, “I already thought about the other things you mentioned and I’ve come prepared,” I say holding up the large bag I have in my hand.
Her lips go flat and she looks skeptical. I know I’m close to bringing her walls down, so I continue trying Josephina’s approach and simply beg. “Please? It would really mean a lot to me to be able to chat with Josephina every day,” I say pouting my lips for good measure, which only earns me another grumble.
I see her sigh as she shakes her head at me while smiling. “Fine, you win.” She accepts her defeat as she looks back down at Josephina giving her a nod, making Josephina jump up as she pumps her fist in the air. Kasey and I both laugh at her reaction.
Looking over to the technician, she asks him, “What do you need from me?”
Turning my attention over to the technician, I see him smiling with satisfaction.
“I need to know where your cable outlets are, ma’am,” he tells her.
She looks at me doubtfully, before rolling her eyes, as she begins to walk towards the living area.
The technician takes one look at me before saying, “Good way to break her down man,” he says pointing his chin at an eager looking Josephina standing next to him, waiting for him to make his next move. He walks away as she follows him, curious to see what he’s going to do. He looks down at her following him and chuckles.
Yeah, I know I played dirty to make her cave, but I would do anything possible to keep in touch with them. Going straight to the couch I start pulling out the new iPad mini I bought for Josephina and a MacBook Pro for Kasey. I lay them out on the coffee table, since the X-box I had purchased the other day is still in the bag. I’ll set it up for them in a couple of minutes. Josephina has soon returned to my side, curious at all the new gadgets I’ve brought. I quickly begin explaining how to use the iPad mini to her and within minutes, she’s maneuvering her way within the apps with an excited smile on her face.
Half an hour later the technician is leaving and I’ve already set up everything for them to start playing with their new toys, including the X-box, to the small flat screen that Kasey has.
