Tiffany's Poem: Whispers from the past Part 4

Ben's house Miss Parker's room Mane

Closing the door Miss Parker flashes a smile at Debbie "so what say you to trying on some of that stuff we bought?"

Debbie was just about to answer when Jarod bounded into the room. Looking at his face, Debbie squeaked "Maybe later." And left the room as soon as she could. But stands just outside to hear the conversion. Smirking at him Miss Parker starts to hang up the cloths that Debbie and her bought.

"How long," questions Jarod, knowing what he was asking Miss Parker just shrugs her shoulders at him. Not getting a raise out of him she tries a different tactic.

"For a while," she says. Watching his every expressive face, she tries very hard not to laugh at him for his gullibility, but fails. Laughing so hard that tears are coming down her face.

"A short while Jarod," shouts Debbie as she goes downstairs to join the others. Within minutes everyone could hear the shouting match between Miss Parker and Jarod.

"Wow," says Debbie "Are they always like that."

"No," informs Broots "Sometimes their worse." Hearing Miss Parker bouncing down the steps followed very closely by Jarod. Miss Parker walks into the family room. Flops down again in the oversized chair. Jarod sits directly in front of her. He glares at her while she smirks at him.

"Well," he hisses.

"Well what," she dismisses. Growling Jarod clutches the air in front of him.

"You're doing this deliberately," Jarod accuses.

"Yep," agrees Miss Parker stunning Jarod "Welcome to *my world* genius."
