"Hey, Edward." Greeted my dad putting his bag next to the door. "Guess who I just saw when I was at the gas station?"
"Who?" Please don't let it be Chief Swan!
"Oh, Chief Swan." He answered with a disapproving look. "What's this I hear about a crazy party?"
"Well, while you and mom were gone we kinda threw a tiny party." I explained trying to make it sound not so bad.
"A little party? From what Mr. Swan said alcohol was flowing like a river." Stated Carlisle crossing his arms over his chest.
"We didn't provide any of it, I swear." Please don't strike me with lightening God.
"So, everybody brought their own?" He asked not believing my story.
"Yes." I lied again trying to look him in the eyes.
"You're telling me if I go downstairs to the whine seller every bottle of wine will be there?" He asked raising his eyebrows. Damn! I knew there was something we forgot to lock.
"I think so." I hopped. We hadn't even checked to see if there was anything missing.
"Okay, let's go look." He replied as I followed him closet behind the stairs and downstairs to my father's very expensive whine collection. We're talking about thousands of dollars on alcohol. We when entered the seller everything looked in place. Thank you, God! "It looks like everything is here."
"Yep, it does." I replied as he walked around the small room.
"Well, as long as nothing got broke and everything is back to normal I won't tell mom." He smiled. "Now the reason why I asked you to say home. I need to ask you a favor."
"Sure, dad. What do you need?" I asked just glad we were off the hock.
"I think mom might be having an affair." Confessed Carlisle. I tried to hide the look of shock on my face.
"What? How can I help you with that?" I demanded. Mom cheating on dad? I couldn't believe it.
"Well, out of the three children she is closest to you. I just want you to keep an eye on her." He replied looking a little sad.
"What makes you think she's having an affair?" I asked look down at my feet.
"She been distant lately and she's gone all the time. It's not like her to just take off for the weekend." He explained. I could tell he was hurt. Who could blame him? His wife of 18 years might be cheating on him.
"I'll keep an eye on her for you dad." I said he walked back upstairs to the main floor.
"Thanks. I've just been really busy with work and I should have seen this coming. I wasn't giving her the attention she deserved." He remarked going into the kitchen and getting a can of Pepsi out of the refrigerator.
"It's not your fault dad. Really, marriage is for better or worse. I know you'll work it out whether she's cheating or not." I comforted. That got me to thinking. Was I being a hypocrite for telling my dad that just cause mom might have cheated that the relationship was over but a few hours ago I was joking with my brothers about their cheating habits. I guess things change when it's your dad you're talking to.
"I hope you're right, Edward. Wait a minute is ladies man Edward Cullen giving me a grown man advice on his relationship with his wife?" Laughed dad, but the happiness didn't reach his eyes.
"I guess I am. It's kinda weird isn't it?" I asked smiling as he snipped his soda.
"Just a little." Chuckled Carlisle. "Hey, you want to order Chinese and we watch some baseball on the flat screen?"
"I don't know." I hesitated.
"Never mind. I'm sure you're busy. It's Saturday after all." Remarked my dad. I could tell he was lonely.
"Actually. I'm not busy. Yeah, let's order from Chinese." I lied. I had actually called Axell and we had planned to sneak into the 5:00p.m showing of Transformers 2 and do it, but I could call her and were could go to at ten o'clock showing.
"You sure. If you have a lady waiting for you?" He asked making sure.
"No, I'll call her and we can go to the 10 o'clock showing." I reassured him.
"Edward's going on a date? Who's the lucky lady?" He asked with a proud smile. If only he knew, we were planning to get it on it the movie theater.
"Yes. I can go on a date can't I? And her name is Axell. She just moved here a couple weeks ago." I explained.
"Well, good for you. It's about time you get a girlfriend like Emmett and Jasper. I'm so proud of them. It takes real commitment to stay in a dedicated relationship." Explained my dad. If only he knew, they are sleeping around with other girls. And for the first time in my life, I actually felt a little guilt. Or maybe that was just my stomach growling, because I hadn't eaten anything all day.
"Yeah, Rose and Alice are good for them." I replied. "Well, I better go call Axell and change the time."
"Sure." Replied dad going into the living room. I walked upstairs and got my phone off the charger and dialed Axell's cell phone number. She picked up after only a few rings.
"Hey, Eddie." She answered.
"Please don't call me that." I chuckled.
"Well, you didn't seem to mind it last night." She defended.
"Well, I had some other things on my mind." I explained thinking back to last night. Damn was that great sex!
"You could say that again." I chuckled. "The reason I'm calling is to move the time of our get together." I hated to use to the word date.
"Oh. I was so looking forward to doing it in a dark theater. You know it'll be my first time to do it in a public place." She replied sexily.
"Really… well in that case." I chuckled. "But in all seriousness can we move the time to the 10:15 showing?"
"Yeah that sounds great. If it anything like last night I know I will have an amazing time." She giggled.
"I can't wait." I laughed hanging up the phone. If tonight is anything like last night, I don't know if I can wait until 10:15. I walked into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I really did need a shower. I chuckled at myself in the mirror as I closed the bathroom door behind me. I cannot wait till 10:15 tonight!
