Right ok, I know it's been a long time since I updated, but I was waiting for DaleJr8 to come back, but sadly I still haven't heard from him. But today I received an email from Chantelle aka lilwhitegurl89 that was filled with so many compliments that it gave me a boost to get this chapter out. So today, I locked myself in my room, with my laptop and 'The Lizzie McGuire Movie' playing on my tv hoping it would give me some inspiration, and it must have worked, because I got this chapter finished!!
DaleJr8 did actually write some of this chapter a while ago, so I've sort of just filled in the gaps, I hope its ok, enjoy!!

Chapter Four
The two teens arrived at Chloe's house shortly after school had finished. Chloe fumbled in her pocket, trying to retrieve her key. She was nervous inside, this was the first time she was fetching a boy home. True they were only studying but what would happen? Even worse, what would her dad say?
"Something wrong?" Jake asked, as he watched the girl feel around in her pockets.
"I can't find my.....ah wait got it!" Chloe said as she pulled her key out from her jean pocket. She let out a nervous laugh as she put the key into the lock.
The door swung open and the two walked in.
Chloe shouted out "Dad, I'm home!"
"Hey Clo" Gordo yelled back using her nickname, "I'm in the kitchen."
"Come on," Chloe said to Jake, signalling him to follow her.
As the two came into the kitchen, they saw Gordo standing behind the counter slicing some vegetables.
"Hey dad, this is Jake. Jake this is my dad," Chloe said introducing the two. 'Please don't embarrass me, please, please, please.'
Gordo looked up when he heard his daughter speak. As he raised his head, he came face to face with a boy who stood as tall as him, 'oh no, its starting. My baby girl's fetched a boy home'. Gordo put on a brave smile, wiped his hands and shook the young boy's hand, "hello there Jake."
Jake took hold of the mans hand and gave it a good shake, "Nice to meet you Sir."
"Sir? Come on Jake, I'm not that old am I? My name is David." Replied Gordo.
"Well its nice to meet you, David."
"So Dad, Jake and I are gonna study for a while, is that ok?"
"Yeah sure, would your new friend like to stay for dinner? I'm making my famous lasagne."
Chloe looked up at Jake for an answer. Jake looked at David, then looked down at Chloe for a moment before saying, "I'd like that."
"Ok then, why don't you give your parents a quick call, see if it's ok first?" Gordo suggested.
"The phone's right over there in the corner," Chloe instructed pointing over into the far corner of the kitchen.
When Jake was out of ear shot, Chloe turned to her dad, "dad, promise me something? Try not to embarrass me tonight, please?"
"Parents don't embarrass their children on purpose, Chloe. It's too easy to do it by accident."
Jake picked up the phone and quickly dialed his home number. It seemed odd, calling his own house. After three rings his mom answered. "Hello?"
"It's me, mom."
"Jake? Where are you? You're late getting home. Is something wrong?" She was nearly panicking now.
"Relax, mom. I'm studying with a friend from school. I'm calling because they've invited me to stay for dinner. Is that okay?"
"Sure. I guess. But let me talk to an adult to confirm."
"Mom, would I lie?"
"Jake, do I need to remind you about the R rated movie during study hall? You're lucky you didn't get banned from the theater."
"Mom! It was just a horror movie, and it was a year ago. Sheesh!"
"Parents never forget, Jake. Anyway, put an adult on." Jake walked the phone over to Gordo and handed it to him. "My mom wants to make sure it's ok for me to stay."
Gordo took the phone from the young mans hand and raised it to his ear, "Hello?"
"Hi, are you sure its ok if he stays?"
'Gosh that voice, it sounds familiar, where have I heard it before?' Gordo thought to himself before he heard the voice on the other end of the line speak out again.
"Hello, is anyone there?"
"Oh yeah, sorry," Gordo apologized before letting out a nervous chuckle.
"So its ok if he stays?"
"Yeah, sure," confirmed Gordo.
"Ok then, tell him I'll see him when he gets home, goodbye."
"Bye." Gordo pressed the off button on the cordless and placed it down on the counter. He looked up to the two teens, "she said its ok, why don't you two go start studying and I'll give you a shout when dinner's done, ok?"
"Ok, come on Jake, we'll go upstairs," said Chloe turning and heading out of the kitchen.
Carrying both his and Chloe's book bag, Jake followed Chloe to the foot of the staircase.
As they started climbing the stairs to Chloe's bedroom, they heard a loud shout which sounded somewhat like a worried father's cry coming from the kitchen, "keep that bedroom door open Chloe!!"
"Dinner's ready!" Gordo shouted up the stairs to his daughter and her guest.
"Coming Dad!"
Chloe and Jake made their way downstairs and walked into the dining room and sat opposite each other at the table. Gordo was sat between the two at the head of the table.
"All this looks delicious David," offered Jake.
"Yeah dad, you out did yourself," Chloe complemented.
"Well, this is a special occasion, my little girl has fetched a boy home for the first time and..."
"Dad!!!" Chloe interrupted, she chanced a glance at Jake, he had a smile on his face that was directed at her, 'oh god he's never gonna want to see me again'.
"What?!?!" Gordo asked somewhat amused by his daughter's reaction. "I'm a parent, its part of my job description to embarrass my kid! Come on, everyone eat up before its gets cold."
Chloe kept her head down low as the rest of dinner went by quietly.
"Well that was great David, I really enjoyed it," Jake looked at his watch, "but I think it's about time I headed home."
"I'll walk you out," Chloe said as she stood up from the table.
"It was good to meet you Jake, I hope we see you around here again soon." Gordo said shaking the young mans hand.
"Good to meet you too, I'll be seeing you again." Jake replied as he picked up his bag and stepped out of the frond door, Chloe walked out behind him and shut the door before her Dad could follow.
Chloe stood there fiddling with her hands, "I sorry about my Dad, he's always embarrassing me like that."
Jake smiled, "my Mom is just the same, though, I've never brought a girl home yet, so I guess I've got some more to come."
Chloe laughed.
"I better go before it gets any darker, thanks for helping me with my maths Chloe." He leant forward and placed a sweet kiss on her cheek, just like the day before. He stepped back so he could see her face, "goodnight Chloe."
Ok, so there it was, did you like it? Yes? No? Maybe? Please review and let me know.
Just the other week, I enlisted the help of 'JersyPrincess' for this story. Basically, I don't expect her to write anything, but I just like having someone there to bounce ideas off of, so hopefully I'll have the next chapter up sooner, in fact, I've already made a start on it
Thanks to everyone who read my other story 'Lizzie's 21st', and if you haven't already read it, then please check it out.
Thanks for reading, please review!
