This chapter is a little short, I didn't think of many details, or subplots for the chapter. But it's a major shift in the storyline, I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 11: Coming Clean
Franklin and Tracy drove up to Michael's house. They pulled into his driveway, and put the car in park. "Well, babe are you ready?" Franklin asked Tracy, Tracy took a deep breath and exhaled. "Yes, let's do this. Will you come in there with me?" Tracy asked. "Sure baby." Franklin said softly. They both got out of the car and walked up ti the door. Tracy walked inside with Franklin behind her. They heard Amanda and Michael talking in the kitchen. They grabbed each other's hand as they walked back to the kitchen. Michael was sitting there drinking coffee with Amanda. He heard Tracy's footsteps , as she and Franklin walked into the kitchen. Michael turned around, and looked at her, he noticed Franklin and Tracy holding hands. He was speechless at the moment, he didn't know what to say. Tracy looked at him nervously "Dad, I believe you already know Franklin." Franklin looked up a Michael and said "Hey Mike." Michael looked at Franklin and was still stunned in silence. "Dad I know this is a shock, but we wanted to come clean. Me and Franklin are in love." Michael took a drink of his coffee. And lit a cigarette, usually he goes outside to smoke when Amanda's home, but he didn't care at the moment.
"How long has this been going on?" Michael finally asked. "About 4 days." Franklin replied. "So that's why you were late the other night?" Michael asked Tracy. "Yes dad, we didn't want you to find out, but Franklin wanted me to come clean." Michael took a drag off his cigarette, and took another sil of coffee. "It's about time you found somebody that wasn't worthless." Michael told Tracy. She breathed a sigh of relief. "So you're not mad about this?" Tracy asked Michael. "I figured it would happen eventually, you kids are the same age. And I k ow how boys think." Michael finished his cigarette and put it out. Franklin looked Michael in the eyes for the first time since they showed up there. "So you're ok with this?" he asked Michael. "Frank, if I could have my pick of someone for my daughter, it'd be you. I seen what you could do. I wouldn't have to worry about her."
Tracy smiled and looked at her dad "Well we got more news." Tracy told him, he looked at her and asked "What?" "He asked me to move in with him, and I said yes." Michael sighed and smiled. He looked at them both and finally said. "It's about time, you took some initiative, and got out of my house." He said half sarcastically. "I'll have the maid pack your things." Michael told Tracy, he looked at Franklin "Take care of her kid, she's precious cargo." Michael told him "Oh I know it, you got it." Franklin replied. Michael invited franklin and Tracy to drink coffee with them, they talked and laughed for an hour. Finally Michael brought up a new movie that needs a female role.
"So Trace, I got a movie coming up in the studio, it's called "The Purple Violet" it's a cheesy romantic comedy, but a part opened up for the leading female role. I'll give you the part if you want it." Tracy's eyes lit up "Yes daddy, I'll take it!" she said excitingly. "Good, drop by the studio in a few days, we'll iron out the details. The 4 then drank some coffee, and carried on. Outside the house, the black car drove by it slowed down, and spotted Franklin's car. The man on the passenger side took a picture of it and drove on up the street.
