Me- dad, I'm home!
I shouted but I got no response and
that's when I saw the note on the fridge.
Last minute meeting. I'm really sorry
princessa. I'll make it up to you. I'll see
you this evening. Dad.
He even drew a heart next to the word
dad. I smiled as I read the note. He
spends most of his time with me but
when he has a meeting at work and has
to leave, he feels bad despite my
attempts at making it known to him that
its fine.
My dad is a business tycoon with loads
of businesses which means we are rich
but I don't care about the money. I only
care about my dad and making sure he
is fine. He is the one person I love more
than anything in this world except my
best friend Roseline. I don't have a
boyfriend because I don't want to have one. I wanna concentrate on myself, my
dad and my best friend. A lot of guys
have asked me on dates but I turn them
down.
I sent my dad a text saying its fine and
that I will see him tonight. I went on to
make lasagna for both for us.
I dished out the meal just as my dad
entered the kitchen.
Me- hey dad.
Dad- hey princessa.
Me- I made lasagna.
Dad- sounds delicious.
Me- come on and have a seat.
We ate in comfortable silence until my
dad broke it.
Dad- hey princessa.
Me- yeah.
Dad- have I told you how much I love
you?
Me- what do you want dad? I know you
love me but what's up?
Dad- my biggest business partner wants
to have dinner with us and he's bringing
his son.
Me- here?! And when?
Dad- no, we're going to Sotto Voce.
Tomorrow.
Me- ok. I just need to explain to Rose
why I have to cancel our shopping trip.
Dad- thank you so much princessa. I
love you so much.
Me- I love you too. I have to go to bed
so I will see you tomorrow.
Dad- sleep tight.
Me- you too.
We both went to bed.
________________________________
I woke up to my dad calling me to wake
up.
Dad- wake up princessa. I made
breakfast.
Me- coming dad.
I got up and took a shower before I went
to my walk-in closet. I took out a white
sleeveless dress with black heels. I
straightened my thick blonde hair and
applied lip gloss before going
downstairs.
Me- hey dad.
Dad- hey. You look beautiful.
Me- thanks.
Dad- will Rose pick you up for school?
Me- yeah, this week is her turn.
We both have cars but we rotate so that
every week one person drives, also
known as carpooling.
Dad- ok. I have to go to work so
remember to be home early so we can
go and meet my business partner.
Me- don't worry dad. I've got your back.
Dad- thanks. See you soon.
Me- see you later. Love you.
Dad- love you too.
As soon as dad left, I had my breakfast
and grabbed my bag before heading to
the porch to wait for Jenny. She finally
arrived and I hopped in.
Me- hey.
Jenny- hi Kristabel.
Me- how are you doing
Jenny- great, actually, except for my
parent's constant arguing. How are you?
Me- great. Jenny I'm really sorry but I
have to cancel shopping.
Jenny- why?
Me- I have to go to this dinner with my
dad's business partner and his son.
Jenny- its fine. I understand.
Me- shopping tomorrow?
Jenny- definitely.
After that we got down and headed to
our lockers before heading to class
together. We have class together. The
lessons were really boring and soon I
found myself sitting at the cafeteria
waiting for Rose. She had to go do
something.
Jenny- aaaahhh!!
Jenny came screaming in my ear.
Me- ok sweetie. I know you wanna tell
me something but I'm gonna need you
to use your words.
Jenny- ok Carol told me that Vince told
her that Ivy told him that Bruce told her
that Caleb told him that Emerald told
him that Carmen told her that there is a
hot guy starting high school here
tomorrow.
Me- then it must be true.
Jenny- maybe you could hook up.
Me- no no no. We've talked about this.
No dating for me. My mom and dad
dated and when she got pregnant, she
gave birth to me, she left. I can't handle
another person leaving. That's why I
don't get attached to people.
Jenny- When are you going to realize its
ok to love someone or its ok to get
attached to someone?
Me- Never, now let's go to the rest of
our classes.
Rose- Ok.
