Thanks for your reviews everyone, there is some bad language in this chapter and some drug usage, so be warned.
"Grace you are not to go to this party tonight" Alicia said as she put her coat on before going out with Peter and the younger girls.
"I know Mum, you already told me I wasn't allowed to go" Grace replied rolling her eyes, she wouldn't go out, but that didn't mean that she couldn't have some fun.
"Bye" Grace shouted as everyone got into the car, Peter had decided to drive, but it meant being followed by his security in another car. Grace watched them exit the driveway, go down the street and turn the corner before she got her phone out.
"Hi Conner, that's the house empty are you close by" Grace said
"Just round the corner babe" he replied, he put his car into drive and was soon in the driveway of the Highland Park Mansion
"Wow, this house is huge" he commented as he came into the hallway, but he didn't have time to say much more as Grace quickly met his mouth with hers.
Her parents knew nothing about Conner, Zach did, and he didn't like it, but she kept secrets for him from her parents and so did he.
…..
"Peter, I left my handbag in your house, can we nip back and get it?" Alicia asked
"You won't need it, I'll pay for everything tonight" Peter replied
"My cellphone is in it, and my makeup, can we just go back, also I have a bad feeling about Grace" Alicia replied. She didn't know why she had a bad feeling she just did, call it Mothers intuition.
"OK" Peter said as he turned at the nearest opportunity and head home.
Claudia knew her sister was up to something, she couldn't phone her, not from the same car as her parents, so a text would have to do, she just hoped her sister got it in time
Claudia – Mum and Dad are on their way home, Mum forgot her handbag
Grace was too caught up with Conner that she didn't see the text, her phone was downstairs and she and Conner were upstairs in her room.
….
"What is that heap of junk?" Peter said as he pointed to Conner's car in the driveway, He quickly got out of the car followed by Alicia.
"Girls, stay in the car" Alicia said to her younger daughters who were to stay firmly put. Claudia knew now that Grace didn't get her text
"What was that noise?" Grace said as she pulled away from Conner, they hadn't had sex yet, but they had been kissing and they had both found there selves topless
"Just the wind Babe" Conner said until she heard her Fathers voice
"Grace are you OK?" Peter shouted
"Oh shit, its my Dad" Grace replied as she tried to quickly put her top back on but it was too late. Alicia had opened the bedroom door.
….
Zach was in Becca's back garden, she had a fire going and some kids were sitting around it smoking pot. Zach and Becca were however making out on the other side of the garden.
"Do you want to take this upstairs" Becca asked
"Sure, but first, lets have a smoke" Zach said as he took out some weed and rolled a joint up.
"Sounds good, I always prefer to fuck when I'm high" Becca replied back laughing as she took the joint from Zach who now rolled one for himself.
What Zach did not notice though was the guy with the camera phone at the other side of the garden who had been clicking his camera away. In a matter of minutes the First Son of Illinois was all over Twitter, Facebook and Instagram with a joint in his hand.
…..
"Mr Gold" One of the young interns said as Eli picked him phone up, it was a Saturday night he was supposed to be spending it with his daughter
"Yes" Eli said sounding annoyed
"I have just sent you a photo from Twitter, Zach Florrick smoking a joint"
"Damn it" Eli shouted as he hung the phone up and immediately called Alicia
….
"You have 30 seconds to get your clothes on and get out of you room" Alicia shouted at her daughter as her phone started to ring
"What is it Eli?" Alicia replied angrily
"It's Zach, I have just forwarded you a photo that I was sent, its all over social media" Eli said as Alicia quickly took the phone away from her ear and looked at the photo.
"Eli, Zach isn't here, but I promise I will talk to him about it"
"What just talk to him, Alicia this will look really bad"
"I understand that, but the photo could be fake, Peter and I will deal with this when Zach gets home, right now I have a daughter to deal with" Alicia replied as Peter came up stairs, he had heard Alicia shout at Grace to get dressed, and realised that the bowling was probably not going to happen tonight so he had got the other girls out of the car.
"What is going on?" Peter asked as he came up the stairs.
"Your daughter is in there with a boy, and Eli just sent me this" Alicia said passing her phone to Peter.
"Grace, I believe your 30 seconds are up" Peter shouted through the door, either you come out now, or I'm coming in.
"Peter, can you let me deal with this?" Alicia asked
"She is my daughter too"
"I know, but it's delicate, look can you go phone Zach and tell him you are going to pick him up from Becca's. I don't want him driving home if there is truth to this photo" Alicia replied.
"Grace, I'm coming in" Alicia called, she opened the door to find just Grace in the room.
"Who was that boy and where is he?" Alicia asked
"You didn't expect him to hang about for Dad to kill him, he has gone" Grace said and it was then Alicia noticed the open door onto the Balcony that was attached to Graces room. Alicia walked to the balcony to see Peter get into his car, but the heap of junk parked next to it was gone.
"Who was he, and what the hell was he doing in here"
"His name is Conner, he goes to School with me, and we were just kissing"
"And if I hadn't walked in?" Alicia asked
"Mum, nothing would have happened, we have never had sex" Grace said
"I'm not sure I believe that nothing would have happened, you were topless Grace, your lucky it was me who walked in and not your father"
"You shouldn't have just walked in anyway, I'm 16 I deserve privacy"
"Exactly Grace, your 16, more importantly he is 16, and he should not have been in your bedroom."
"He is 17 actually"
"Oh well then, that make it OK" Alicia replied sarcastically. "Look, you can have a boyfriend, but you tell me about him and I meet him before I have to find him in your bedroom"
"OK, well now you know, and you have met him"
"Catching him topless in your bedroom and then sneaking out the window does not constitute meeting Young Lady"
"Sorry, but he is scared of you and Dad"
"Scared of us?" Alicia questioned
"Mum, your one of Chicago's best lawyers, and Dad, well he is the Governor, of course he is intimidated, that's why you haven't met him yet"
"How long have you two been dating?" Alicia asked
"6 months"
"What, 6 months, Grace you have been keeping him a secret for 6 months"
"Yeah"
"We really need to have a talk about this Grace, if I knew you had been dating we would have done this a long time ago"
"Mum, I'm Christian, I don't believe in sex before marriage, Conner and I just make out, that is all"
"It didn't look like just making out tonight"
"We just got carried away"
"That is what I am trying to say Grace, you got carried away, and if I hadn't walked in when I did well you…"
"Mum, seriously, we just make out, look we have done it before, we make out and never ever have we had sex. I know I was topless, but its never been more than that, can't you just trust me"
"I trust you Grace, but I'm trying to explain that Sex is something that you can not control at times, look, when you and Conner decide that its time, I want you to promise that you will come and talk to me, even if you are just thinking about it. And from now on, he does not go into your room, and you are not to go into his"
"OK, but I can still date him"
"I'm not going to stop you, but if you sneak around like that again you will be grounded"
"Fair enough" Grace replied
"Not sure what your Father is going to think of all this"
"Where is he?"
"Gone to pick your brother up, lets just say he is in more trouble than you are"
