Chapter 9- Another Woman?
-With Katherine
"Mom," Katherine started.
"Yes?" they were walking through the park. Birds singing all around.
"Why-" Katherine hesitated, "Can you tell me about dad?"
Alexis seemed startled, "Why the sudden subject?"
"Just..." Kathy sighed, "wondering..."
"He was... fun-loving, cheerful, and didn't have a care in the world," she was looking down. sadness in her eyes, "Maybe... a little too careless."
"What did he do?" Kathy asked anxiously.
Alexis sighed, "Nothing really, I'm the one who agreed..."
"Agreed to what?"
"Does it really matter?"
"No, not really." Katherine shrugged, "Let's drop that subject for now."
"Couldn't agree more." Alexis muttered, "Let's go home now sweetie. It's probably time for dinner."
"Okay, let's go."
-With Cassidy
Cassidy was still in Katherine's room unpacking when she looked out the window.
"Who's that?" Cassy asked herself.
Jaden was sitting on a bench outside talking to a lady with long dark blue hair, they were foot wrestling. the ladys hand was over his from across the table.
The lady stood up and walked over to his side and sat in his lap. She wrapped her arms around him and whispered something to him. Then someone opened the door to Katherine's bedroom.
"Kathy here's dinner." Roxy walked in.
Cassidy was startled, she jumped and gasped, "Roxy you startled me!"
"startled?" Roxy asked, "You never used 'big words' before."
"Ugh, someone at camp stuck on me."
"I see."
"Whose dad with?"
"Hmmph!" she crossed her arms, "He'll answer that question soon enough, but I'll tell you this- don't trust that little weasel!"
Cassidy chuckled, "Right. Okay! Thanks for the dinner."
After Cassidy was done eating she decided to go swim in the lake. She put her swimsuit on under a T-shirt and went to the lake. When she got there she saw the same girl that was with her father sun tanning next to the lake.
The lady looked up, "Oh! You must be Katherine!" she smiled, "Your father's told me so much about you."
Katherine forced a smile, "Yes I am, and you are?"
"Me?" she started, "I'm-"
"I see you two have met." Jaden cut in, "So..."
"She's just as you described honey," the lady stated.
'Honey?' Cassidy thought.
Cassy took off her shirt and jumped into the lake, splashing water all over the un-named lady. The lady gasped but restrained herself from exploding in front of Jaden who, for Cassidy's sake, wasn't paying attention just then.
-Later that day...
"Dad, who was that?" Cassidy and her dad were relaxing under the a tree by themselves.
"You don't know?" Cassidy shook her head.
"That was Blair, an old friend from duel academy."
"What's..." Cassy hesitated, "going on between the two of you?"
"Um, we're kinda... together?"
"When did this happen?"
"I kinda met up with her the day you left for camp..."
"I gotta go." Cassidy got up and ran back to the house.
"Katherine!" Jaden yelled after her, but it was no use. Jaden walked back to the house when a car pulled up.
"Did you tell her?" Blair asked.
"No,"
"You need to"
"I know, I will, soon..."
-In Katherine/Cassidy's room
Cassidy got inside and quickly picked up the phone.
"Hello?" a girl on the other end yawned.
"Hey Katherine! It's me Cassidy!"
"Oh Cass! Today was amazing!" Katherine started, "Mom's so sweet! I-"
"Kathy! You need to bring mom over here right now!"
"Why?! No! It hasn't even been a day, I just met her!"
"Dad's got a girlfriend!"
"What! That can't be true!"
"Well it is!"
"Well, you'll figure it out! It's nothing serious, I'm not going to go there this soon!"
"But-" Cassidy started but the line went dead, "Stubborn little-"
"Stubborn little- what?" Roxy appeared.
"Oh, nothing." Cassidy smiled innocently.
"Who were you talking to anyway?" Roxy cocked an eyebrow.
"A girl from camp." Cassy said in an annoyed tone.
"You look pissed," Roxy started, "You met Blair didn't you."
"How did you know?"
"She's a bitch, that's how I know."
"Eh, eh, eh, language Roxy, language."
"I'm 32, thank you very much."
They laughed.
"I'm going to bed." Cassidy stated.
"It's 7 o'clock." Roxy looked worried.
"Fine, a nap that I may not wake up from till tomorrow."
"Now, that's the Katherine I know, night girl."
"Night Roxy."
Roxana smiled and left the room.
What am I going to do about dad? Cassidy thought, Let's just hope they don't get too serious.
Well that was interesting... hope you liked it! The next chapter will be called... sorry, it's a secret. Actually, truth is I don't know what the next one is gonna be called.
