"Why don't you invite this Valese girl over tomorrow? It'll be nice to finally
meet her," my dad said as he drove us home. I don't even know how he
got his license, and to be truthfully honest, I don't want to know either.
He drives like a maniac. At least he's trying not to wrap the car around a
pole. "I don't know. She's just a friend Dad. It's not like we're an item or
anything," I told him straight forward.
He took a peek through the rear view mirror, which I didn't notice until he spoke: "Then why are you blushing?" I looked down at my legs. Why did my father had to be so observant? I'm not fooling anyone. I do like her. Maybe even more than I feel comfortable to admit to myself. Perhaps I should include her in tomorrow's events, but do I feel comfortable enough to introduce her to my family yet?
We arrived home after a while. If I had ditched the car and
flew, I would've been here ages ago. But no... If Dad drove, everybody
goes back home by car. As one big happy family!
After a hot shower, I made my way towards my room. I sat down on my
bed, took out my phone and dialled her number.
Goten: Hi Valese, it's me Goten.
Valese: Oh hey, Goten. I was just thinking about you. Is everything okay?
Goten: Unfortunately no, it's about tomorrow.
Valese: Are you cancelling on me, Goten?
Goten: I'm sorry. The Martial Arts Tournament is tomorrow and my Dad
wants me to participate.
Valese: I was so excited about our date.
Goten: I can always try and get myself out of it, if you'd prefer.
Valese: No, don't do that. You should obey your father's wishes. May I
come?
Goten: Off course, but there will be a lot of fighting. Are you sure that
you are up for it?
Valese: Yes, absolutely. You will be there after all.
Goten: Well, okay then. It's settled. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning at
ten.
Valese: I can't wait. See you tomorrow, Goten. Nighty night.
Goten: Goodnight, Valese.
Wow, I thought as I lay my head down into my pillow. I never saw that
one coming. Can she truly be the one? Or will me introducing her, be the
biggest mistake of my life? Sure, I like her, an awfully lot, but the
question remains... is it enough? Agh... what's with all these mixed emotions. With that question stuck in my head I fell asleep.
