Chapter 16: Dinner Dash
Alright, so the rest of the weekend went by like a full flash! I went back on Monday and spent my French class with my girlfriend Mia (I'm still getting giggity saying it!) After class she told me in the car.
"Mom and Dad said that they would like to meet you tonight." Despite what people would probably think. I was actually excited….
"Really?!" I said, "When and where?!"
"7:00 at this place called The Oriental Garden."
"I'll see you there!" She gave me a quick kiss and walked out to her house. I got inside my house and just chilled for the rest of the afternoon, ate food, played games, hung out with Debbie, annoyed Jenny, etc. When the time came, I put on my cleanest clothes and more deodorant and tried to walk out the door all low profile, until….
"Hey where are you going?" I spun on my heels to see Jenny leaning against the kitchen door frame looking at me confused.
"Out." I said casually, then grinned. "I've got a date tonight!" She gave me a look that just said 'ya right!'
"With that Mia chick?"
"Yup!" I said happily, but I could tell she can see right through me,
"What, is her mom coming with you as a chaperone?!" She laughed. I just walked right out of the door ignoring her rude remarks…up until I closed the door behind me,
"Yes actually, her dad too." I whispered to myself as I walked to the car, while driving to this place, I was really trying hard not to ponder much on what should be happening during this dinner, it was just meeting her parents, it's not like I'm gonna meet some weed dealer on the darknet!
I pulled up to the restaurant, it actually looked really nice from the outside, it was right next to this hotel and a car dealership, but it was still an attractive building, I walked inside and immediately was smacked with the smell of Chinese food. Now personally, I love Chinese food. It reminds me of those days when my dad brought it home whenever we had people over, I miss those days…. Anyway, I walked around the waiting area and heard my name being called,
"Andy!" I turned around and saw Mia waving me over, I was expecting a hug, but she didn't give one. "I'm glad you could make it!"
"Hey, no problem!" I said, "I wouldn't want to let you down." she gave me a subtle brow-flick,
"Wanna meet some people?"
"Sure!" There were two people with her, one was a man who was opening himself right up and the other was someone who was facing away.
"This is my dad, dad this is Andy!" Mia introduced us, I shook the man's hand,
"Good to meetcha' Andy!" He said in his gruff but confident voice.
"You too sir." I said with the same confidence, he waved his hand,
"Please, call me Harold." He was around six feet, lean but stocky, and was balding but had a solid, thick mustache, and was wearing a light blue uniform-shirt with a black tie and a police badge. He looked like he could get very angry, but his smile had a warm, fatherly vibe, but there was just something about him that seemed so familiar, I just couldn't place it though….
"And this is my mom." Mia said, the woman turned to face me, oh boy she was different, she was also quite tall, and had curvature (very much like Mia) but unlike Mia and her dad, she seemed very….cold. If looks could kill, I would be vaporized right there.
"Hello." she said in a low voice, I cleared my throat and nodded,
"Nice to meet you ma'am." I said, mildly replicating her tone, we all engaged looks for a few seconds, to be perfectly honest it was very awkward, thank god for the waiter to bring us to our table, the rest of the restaurant was actually very nice, it was very bright with lots of red and polish, it felt as if it tried a little too hard to be super fancy, but I kinda fell for it too. We sat down at our round table, I was across from Harold and Mia to my left and Helen to my right.
"It's good to meet you Andy, I truly mean that, Mia has told me so much about you!" Harold said, I could tell Helen gave him a confused look,
"You have?" she asked Mia, who was taking a quick sip of her water to avoid this mini conflict.
"I think I told you too." Mia said, Helen was thinking for a second, then our waitress came to our table.
"Welcome to the Oriental Garden, my name is-"
"AAAHHHH!" Her introduction was cut short by a small but definite shriek from Mia, while I stared wide eyed, I recognized her, she was a girl named Annie who was in her class who...uh...let's just say she did some...questionable things last year, more on that later…
"Annie?!" Mia and I said together,
"Hey guys, it's been a while!" she said friendly, Helen and Harold were both completely confused,
"What are you doing here?!" I half-yelled,
"I'm here to work and continue my schooling and graduate and move on to college, very much like you two!" she smiled,
"But I thought they locked you up in the coo-coo hut!" Said Mia, her parents stared crazily at her, she took and deep breath,
"For your information, it was a mental rehabilitation center. I needed a little help with some personal stuff." they both kinda gave her a stink eye, "So anyway…. what would you all like to drink?"
"May we have some wine please?" Helen asked, Harold nodded,
"Sure!"
"I'll take a Shirley Temple." I said,
"Make that two!" Mia said quickly, I looked at her, "I've always wanted to try one." she said, shrugging.
"Alrighty!" said Annie scribbling, "I'll be right back!" Then she walked off, Mia and I both saw the crazed look that her parents gave us after she left.
"Don't ask." Mia and I said simultaneously, they both shrugged, then Harold spoke up again,
"So Andy, tell us about yourself!" he said proudly, I looked at Mia who was smiling while nodding, then to Helen who was just simply staring at me, I guess I had no other choice…
"Well…" I cleared my throat, "I've known Mia for almost eight years now, we've been in and out of classes together and we've gotten pretty close and are happy to be friends." Mia nodded to what I was saying,
"Well, that's sweet!" Harold said, Helen then jumped onto more,
"I believe he asked about you, not about your friendship." Helen said very condescending,
"Ok…" I said cautiously, I felt like I was getting interrogated, "I'm not really that exciting, I'm a guy who likes driving cars, playing video games every now and then, hanging out with friends, and I'm a big lover of random things, I guess.
"Are you a church goer, Andy?" Asked Helen.
"Not really, no…" I said, because that was the truth, my dad and I didn't really go all that much. As I said that, I swear I heard Helen whisper under her breath.
"Of course not."
"So, what about your family?" Harold asked, I hesitated, I looked at Mia's worried face as she reached for my hand under the table.
"Umm…. I don't really have much of my family left." Boy, everyone's face dropped instantly as I said that. But Harold's was the most notable, he seemed to be thinking about something.
"What happened?" Asked Helen, I took in a deep breath,
"My father passed about a month ago…" she nodded with her eyes closed
"My condolences." she said in what sounded like a more sympathetic tone. I then felt my hand being squeezed
"Me too, Andy." Mia said, hers felt much more sincere, then Harold slammed his hand down on the table.
"Wait!" he said to accompany the slam, then pointed, "Are you James' son?"
"That is my dad's name, yes." His face instantly brightened,
"Holy cow!" he exclaimed, "After all these years, I finally met ya!" Mia and I were confused,
"Uhhhh...You know my dad?" I asked,
"Are you kidding?!" He said, "We were best buds back in high school!" I shook my head in surprise.
"Oh...cool, I didn't know that…" that was the truth, dad didn't really tell me about his high school life all that much, he's shared small stories here and there, but apart from that, his life has been pretty much a big untold story to me… I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm shitting on him, I really don't mean to, he was the best dad I could have wished for, but he seemed so protective of his past that I haven't really thought too much about it until he was gone… anyway, Harold was pretty much equally as confused as I was…
"Oh really, he never talked about me?"
"No...he never really went on about that past stuff…" Harold nodded, it seemed like he knew something more than me.
"Your dad was a good guy, he was a good friend, he was smart, tactical, logical, and always had a bit of social charm, I assume he was a good dad too?" I nodded,
"He's the best dad I've ever had, but I've only had one, so it's really quite obvious right?" Harold and Mia laughed; Helen stayed quiet.
"Yup…" he continued, "However that being said, he had a bit of a shady reputation." I raised an eyebrow, "He wasn't a criminal or anything, but sometimes he'd try to get his way out of some sticky situations by using a rather sharp tongue… I was with him when he said some of this stuff, it wasn't very pretty..." I checked reactions, Mia looked worried, Helen seemed concentrated, I had no idea how to react, I mean who would? I just felt awkward,
"Harold, can I speak to you in private please?" Helen asked, Harold nodded, and they both got up and walked over to the other room out of sight, I just sat there patiently with my hands on my face.
"Are you ok, Andy?" Mia asked, grabbing my arm, I took a deep breath,
"I'm not too sure…"
"What's wrong?
"I just didn't expect to talk about my dad…it kinda got to me…" She showed concern,
"Oh, I'm sorry…"
"It's alright, I guess I'm still grieving…" she tilted me to face her,
"Andy, please don't be so hard on yourself, you have absolutely every right to be sad, your dad passed away, I can't even start to imagine how you feel…" The amount of sincerity in her voice and eyes was almost hypnotizing, "It's okay if you're still grieving, I want to help you get through it…" for the first time in a good month or so, I felt like I was gonna cry, I tried to hold in, but the look in her eyes was too much to hold back, I started tearing up, "Oh Andy!" she wrapped her arms around me, I hugged her back silently sobbing, her arms were so warm and comforting that I couldn't help myself anymore.
"Thank you, Mia,…." I said,
"Everything's gonna be ok, Andy…" she said.
"I love you so much…."
"I love you too…" To be honest, I have no idea how long we've been sitting there hugging, and frankly I don't give a shit, I don't care if I was crying like a baby, I needed to let it out. Mia wiped the tears off me and gave me a reassuring smile, I even smiled back.
"Thank you Mia...again." I whispered.
"No Andy." She leaned in and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "You don't need to thank me, I owed you that one for all the times I've been crying in front of you." We chuckled. "I hope we go on that road trip; I think it could probably help both of us…"
"I agree, time with you would be amazing." We both turned at a squeaking noise and saw Annie standing there blankly.
"Can we help you?" I asked, Annie closed her mouth and put the drinks down and just left, not saying a single word. Mia and I looked at each other stunned, "Wow, that was the least nosey she's ever been…"
"Yeah, she's pretty bossy… especially after you left."
"What do you mean?"
"She was extra pushy with me, no matter what I did, she always seemed to comment about it, it was so humiliating!"
"Are you serious?" I asked pissed off,
"When I wrote on your locker, she walked past me calling me a simp, I don't even know what that means!"
"I'll tell you later…" Plus it makes no sense why she used it. But anyway, her parents finally returned.
"Sorry about that guys, we were just having a little word in private." Said Harold while Helen nodded, Mia and I glanced at each other giving the same questioning look, but we both shrugged it off, then as if on cue, Annie returned,
"Ok, are you guys ready to order?" she asked, we ordered a bunch of food, Kung pao Chicken, Lo-mein, Scallion pancakes, Chicken fried rice, all sorts of things, I didn't mind I was hungry, when she left, Harold spoke up again,
"Mia, can you come with more for a sec, I gotta discuss something with you." she seemed worried, "Don't worry, you're not in trouble or anything, it's just private."
"Ok, sure." she said, they got up and left, leaving me alone with Helen, who was now staring right at me,
"So…" she started, I glanced over to her, "Now I want you to be honest with me." she was very firm,
"Oh...kay?" I asked feeling spotlighted,
"What do you really see in Mia?"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't play stupid with me, I know you know more than you're saying!" I was thrown back,
"Well, what do you want me to say?" I asked defensively, "That I see her as some sort of demon or something?"
"Mia doesn't invite boys over with no explanation, I've taught her better than that." she said, "Do you see my daughter as an object for intercourse?"
"What?!" I yelled, "NO!" I then facepalmed, "Is this because of my dad?"
"He's one of the reasons, your dad was quite an... interesting person." I looked back up,
"What's that supposed to mean?" I said lowly,
"Well let's just say that he was a very forward and blunt man, you honestly surprised me when you were polite." She was starting to piss me off,
"Wow." I said,
"Excuse me?"
"Oh nothing, I just had no idea that you were gonna be this rude." I said back smugly,
"Oh, I'm sorry, who gave you the right to talk back to me young man?" I chuckled,
"Mmm, ok, you're one to talk." I can tell she was getting triggered,
"What did you just say to me?!"
"Well seeing how you're offended by me saying the same stuff you're saying back to me, I just thought it was a little funny." I smiled; she was fuming!
"Now you listen to me, smart mouth!" she snapped, "You're the one with MY daughter, so therefore you will listen to ME!" I scoffed
"Yes mistress!" I mocked,
"Good lord son, has your mother taught you nothing!" All my mockery was drained and then instantly filled with rage.
"What did you just say to me?" I said low and threatening, I reached for a fork and leaned forward. "Don't you dare speak of my mother again!" I yelled, just as I said that we've heard pretty much the entire restaurant go silent, as I turned around and as I feared, a lot of people were staring at us. I put the fork down and Helen sat up straight, eventually people looked back towards their own tables. And soon after Mia and Harold returned,
"Is everything ok guys?" Mia asked, I nodded but I didn't look at Helen, not even after she said that straight to my face. I could tell that Mia was getting concerned, so she rubbed my knee comfortingly,
"She insulted me to my face." I whispered to her, she went from surprised to mad at her quickly, but before she could say anything…
"Alrighty!" we looked up to see Annie and another waiter pushing two carts full of food, "We've got everything for ya, what would you all like tonight?" We all looked at each other and Harold called out,
"We'll take it all!"
"Ok!" She and the waiter started placing every plate onto our table, it almost seemed neverending, "Okay, enjoy!" she waved with a smile that I would call...evil.
When I say this was everything, I legitimately mean it was everything. Eggrolls, dumplings, platters of chicken, pork and shrimp, noodles, Tofu, soup, it was madness! If only I could see the look on Jenny's face if her heart clogged up just looking at it all! We all passed our plates around getting pretty much a serving of everything, some people may have been more aggressive with each other's plates than I would have liked, but we all got our food in the end. Now I don't know about you, but I had a weird awkwardness thing where I purposefully try to pay attention to my eating while around people, I couldn't tell you why I do it at all, I just had a strange social anxiety about the things I did I guess, so I'm sitting there just chewing my noodles (that sounds weird) and we had a quiet couple minute of eating. Finally, Harold spoke up,
"So, Andy, what kinda video games do you play?" I looked at him, then at Mia, which is when I pretty much just snorted my drink through my nose, she had her cheeks full of food and looked very focused on hearing him, it was hilarious yet kind of adorable. Helen gave me a glare that every grandma would give when she sees poor table manners, but I ignored her and wiped myself clean.
"I don't play as much as I used to, now I just mostly focus on school...I kinda need to because of my…. break." I missed playing games, I just didn't think I had the time for them.
"I understand that." He was very reassuring, "When I was your age, I never got my butt off the couch!" he chuckled, "I still have that old Nintendo to this day, still works!"
"That's awesome!" I was now much happier, "I'm a huge retro fan!"
"Ahh, finally a kid with good taAA-" Helen gave him a look that just said, "If you don't shut the fuck up!" And that is promptly what he did, I was disappointed, but what else are you gonna do?
"So Andy, I must ask…" I turned my attention to Helen. "Mia tells me you're very much into the study of space." I nodded,
"Yes, I have been for a while, It always fascinated me." She gave me a nod,
"Therefore, I presume you must be...well acquainted in terms of education?" She's really trying to sound smart making me look dumb…
"I'd tend to say so...although I do have my ups and downs of certain subjects."
"I see...and what makes it any of your business to pursue the undiscovered?"
"Well...if we have the technology, why can't we explore our frontier?"
"Then what gives you the right to-"
"Mother!" I faced Mia; she was hiding half her face in a place of shrimp, and giving her the look of 10 daggers.
"Don't you dare talk back to me, young lady!" Mia then smiled a daggering smile at her and walked over to us and said through her grin.
"Mother, you're insulting him and embarrassing me...shut it."
"Can we just eat?" I Asked, "You know, the dinner? While it's still warm?" I looked at both of them to stop, Harold stayed awkwardly quiet. Mia sat back down, and we ate for the rest of the time in silence, until Annie came back and asked if we wanted dessert.
"Yes please!" I peered at the menu, "We'll take a full platter, Price is on me!" Annie nodded,
"Alrighty, I'll be back!" she marched off, I sat back grinning wide at the whole table, Mia gave me a similar smile while Helen and Harold gave me a surprised look.
"Well, now that you have been so...spontaneous with us, I must ask what your motive is?"
"What are you talking about?" I gave her another glare,
"Well, I think it's clear that it's in your nature to impress, you drive a loud fast car, you have this low voice, and it appears you have some thickness to your wallet, I would understand if you had the male instinct to express wealth as a compensation for..."
"STOP IT MOM!" Mia slammed down on the table, she then stood up, shaking her head and marched out the door, I looked over at Helen as she turned to me,
"How dare you teach my daughter bad manners like that; I knew she would fall for you bad boys."
"Helen, stop it!" Harold snapped finally; it was very much a police command.
"Well, now that YOU'RE getting involved." She threw her cloth onto the table with a slam,
"Andy…I'm sorry Helen is like this, I shouldn't have let her order that wi-"
"Don't apologize for her Harold." I stopped him, ``Don't take responsibility for what isn't your fault, Harold.' ' he looked at me, "Tell Mia that I still care for her, just don't let Helen hear."
"You got it kid; Mia tells a lot about you to me. She is very fond of you." I looked back at him,
"What does she say about me?"
"She says that you are sweet and treat her well."
"Well, I'm glad she told you the truth, you should go back to them, comfort her for me." I was happy that he said this, then Annie came back.
"Aww damn what did I miss?" she asked smirking
"Not much, can we have the checks?"
'Sure," she handed me and Harold the slips and we gave her our cards then left, me and Harold talked more about games, and we got along great, he was very nice, and we had a lot in common. Then by the time Annie came back he got up
"Keep in touch Andy, you're welcome with her under my watch anytime." He got up and left as I smiled and waved as he went. I stayed for about five more minutes so they could leave before I got out to prevent another altercation. I got up and walked back to my car in silence. The drive home was as subtle as I entered the house, I walked into my room and sat on the bed leaning back, and let all the thoughts race at one, it was almost audible it was so much, until a knock came at the door.
"What?" I asked, sighing expecting to hear Jenny bug me again.
"Sweetie?" I was surprised yet relieved at the voice of Debbie,
"What is it Deb?"
"How was the date?" she came in, I rolled my eyes as I knew where she got that information,
"Man, Jen needs to stop snooping…"
"I know, but I love to hear what you're doing." I sat up.
"Well, her mom is a real piece of work, but her dad is cool."
"Yeah, Harry is cool, he and James were cool in general."
"I figured you knew him, have you met Helen?"
"I've met her like once or twice, she was ok, but she drank a lot, Me and Diane got a lot of drunk crap from her a few times."
"Well, she entirely insulted me throughout the meal…" She looked concerned
"She tended to be quite... Stubborn, but Harold cared about her and she cared about him so me and James stayed quiet. Do you want anything to help you relax sweetie?"
"No I'm good for now, can you leave me alone for the night?" I never got mad at Debbie; she was too nice to be mean to.
'Okay, let me know if you need anything." she kissed my cheek and left. I laid down for a bit, wondering what should happen now. I decided it would be best to relax for the rest of the night, so I hopped on my computer and booted up some good ol' games.
By about 11:00 or so, I got a new message from Mia. I instantly grabbed my phone like a crazed crush and opened it.
"Hey, I'm sorry about dinner. I hope you're doing ok." I texted back,
"It's ok, I'm doing alright...I'm just worried about you…" She always responds back within the first ten seconds, she said back.
"I'm ok, I want to make up for what happened…Can I send you something?"
"Yeah totally!" I sent it back to her, she then sent me a picture of her lying in bed with a sympathetic smile, but the blanket only covered her lower half, I got a great screenshot of her breasts and sexy stomach. I took a screenshot and was amazed.
"Did you get that saved?" She asked
"Yeah, I did!" I shot back to her, "You're so sexy!"
"OH, am I now?" She sent another picture of her covering her nips with her fingers and making a duck face. The tent in my blanket formed, I sent back a pic of me in bed with my blanket covering half my pecs,
"Two can play at that game!" I captioned and instantly she sent the sweaty face emoji
"I wanna lay with you!" Now she was getting me excited,
"Yeah? Well maybe I'll just let you!"
"You tease!" I sent back a 'lol' and then waited, until she shot me another pic, If I wasn't hard already, I was definitely now! She was laying on her stomach with her back bent enough to show those lovely lumps, her face was half hidden under the blanket and behind her I saw the plump bare ass cheek and her legs crossed up over it, her caption said it all…
"Show me the good stuff!" I took a deep breath, then pulled my blanket off and snapped a picture, now I am a complete noob at sexting or dick pics or anything along that sort of thing, so I was having second thoughts as soon as it went out...until she sent a pic of her lip biting face,
"Oh gosh…. you're so much bigger than I expected…" Wow, talk about a confidence boost! I was rushed and happy,
"Yeah babe, eight inches!"
"Oh wow!" Now, I might have gotten a little cocky because I wasn't thinking but said it anyway.
"Can I see what you have!"
"Sure thing!" With my heart racing, I opened her sent pic and nearly came myself...she had one gorgeous pussy, it was mostly bald with tiny hairs along the top, very pink, it was around the same color as her nipples, pink but not light pink, and her clit was more swollen and stood out more from...other pictures I've seen...and her lips were wide open, she looked very wet and it glistened against the camera flash, she was quite clearly aroused. I screenshotted it instantly,
"It's beautiful!" I was definitely saving that picture for later,
"Thank you, so are you!" she sent me a kissy face, I smiled, she then sent more rapidly, "Sorry baby, I gotta go...I'll see you tomorrow!" I sent back another goodnight text and went back to the pussy pic, what did I do? You can probably guess what I did, It was worth it, My first ever real P-pic, and I fell asleep a happy lad, knowing somewhere in that big head of mine that I was gonna have that vag to my access someday! Just need to get past Helen first….
