"When is dad getting home?" Manny called to her mom from the living room.
"He should be here just in time for dinner, around 7:30. When are Derrick and his mom going to be over?"
"I'm not sure let me go check." Manny ran up her stairs and opened her window.
"Derrick!"
"What?" He shouted out of his bedroom.
"My mom wants to know when you're going to be here!"
"Hold on…MOM! When are we going over to Manny's?!" Derrick shouted down to his mother's bedroom.
"What time will the food be ready?!" She called back and Derrick looked at Manny through the window.
"Around 7:30" She called over to Derrick.
"Okay, that's when we'll be there."
"K, luv ya babe, see you at dinner." Manny called and shut her window. She ran down to the kitchen and told her mom. "I have to get ready, that only gives me an hour to get ready."
"Aren't you already dressed sweety? You look great like that." Her mom recalled.
"Ew, mom that's not even funny. I look I was born in the 70's."
"Excuse me…I was born in the 70's."
"My point exactly." She giggled.
Manny ran upstairs and looked through her closet. Mmmkay, daddy's going to be here…what would be appropriate but sexy? She thought to herself.
She pulled out a skirt that wasn't too short and was wavy. It was of course pink…baby pink and with slits up the sides. Then she pulled out a matching low cut shirt that revealed most of her cleavage but was long sleeve.
That's good! She encouraged herself.
Then she rushed over to her mirror and began to style her hair. Applied some make up and ran down the stairs. 15 minutes until dinner would be served.
"Daddy!" She smiled and ran to her father.
"How's my little girl?" He said smiling back.
"I'm not so little anymore."
"I know…I can tell." He said in a hurt voice.
"Dad it's only been a week. Anyway how was your trip?"
"It was great." He said putting down some bags on the couch. "How was your first day?" And just as Manny was going to answer her mom came in.
"Wait until dinner. Her and Derrick will tell us all about it!"
"Oh…he's coming over again?" Her dad said in an unhappy tone.
"Yes daddy. So be nice okay?"
"Well, I just know you can do better than the little-"
"Well! How bout you go get some nice clothes Eric?" Her mother jumped in and stopped them from arguing. He walked up stairs muttering under his breath.
"Mom, please tell him to be nice to Derrick."
"I will, don't worry sweety."
Ding Ding"Oh their here. Go set the table. I'll answer the door." Her mom ordered.
They all settled themselves at the table.
"So! How was school kids?" Derricks mother Lisa asked.
"It was fun." Manny lied.
"Yeah, the teachers were cool." Derrick also answered.
"Did you see any of your old friends Manny? Did you two make any new ones?" It was Manny's mom Judy's turn to ask.
"Yeah…loads." Derrick replied.
"I believe she directed that question to my daughter." Manny's father grunted.
"It was to both of them Eric." Judy tried to sound polite.
"Um…well I saw a bunch of old friends." Manny answered and stomped on Derrick's foot to prevent him from saying anything back. "Actually I met this real nice girl Desiree at the school. She's new."
"Oh really? What is she like?" Lisa questioned.
"Um, she's real nice. She's actually in grade 10."
"Oh, how did you meet her?" Judy asked.
"She's in our homeroom."
"Oh so you two have first period together?" Lisa asked.
"Yeah we sit right-" Derrick was cut off almost immediately by Eric, Manny's dad.
"I thought you both were juniors this year? Why is this girl Desiree in your class Manny?"
"Um...yeah," Manny gave Derrick a small glance. "Well the school is doing something new this year."
"What is it?" Her dad asked again.
"Well our teacher told us-" Derrick was again cut off.
"Manny?" Her dad gave Derrick an ice-cold look.
"Dad!" Manny was upset about what an ass her dad was being.
"No it's okay." Derrick pulled her back into her seat. "I would be upset too if my daughter was getting older and no longer needing her daddy." He smiled.
There was silence at the table and Eric looked absolutely furious.
"Derrick." Manny hissed.
"Well I don't see why she would instead run to a little boy that probably can't wipe his ownass!" Eric roared.
"Eric!" This time it was Judy's turn to hiss.
"Well I guess it's time for us to leave." Lisa calmly got out of her seat.
"No Lisa, Derrick…please stay." Judy whined.
"No it's okay I lost my appetite. Old men tend to slobber." Derrick got out of his chair. Him and his mother descended the dinning room.
"Oh my gosh…this has been a disaster!" Manny sighed loudly and ran up stairs.
"Manny!" Both men yelled. But Derrick was the one who followed her up stairs. Judy was holding Eric back.
"I am so sorry Lisa." Judy apologized. "And so is Eric."
"No I am not. Your son is not even near good enough for my daughter!"
"Judy, I will see you later. And you know what? You should send your husband away more often! He is way below your standards!" And with that Lisa exited the house.
While that happened>
"Manny I'm so sorry." Derrick pleaded.
"Well saying that to me isn't going to do anything Derrick! I told you to keep your temper. I told you to be nice. But no, you couldn't resist."
"Uh-what? Did you hear what he said about me? And how he kept cutting me off?!" Derrick retorted.
"Derrick! He's my dad. Of course he's not going to like you."
"Yeah, well. I just lost my temper. I'm sorry." They were in her room sitting on the bed. He gently kissed her lips and she pushed him away.
"Oh so now you do think I'm not good enough?" Derrick said angrily.
"What?! No! I am just really upset right now."
"I can make it better." He smirked.
"Oh really?" She smiled.
"Watch me." He grinned and started to kiss her. Small pecks then he pushed his tongue into her mouth. They were lying on the bed just kissing with him on top. But just then the door swung open. Manny bolt up and Derrick rolled onto the side.
"Dad…" Manny gasped.
"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!" Eric shouted.
Derrick quickly got off the bed. "I'll see you later." He said rushing out the door.
"DAD!" Manny shouted. Derrick heard them yelling at each other the whole way to his house. But they soon stopped by the time he reached his room.
"Derrick." He heard a small whisper from the window.
"What?" He whispered back across his bed room window.
"Let me go over." Manny was leaning over her window.
"Hold on." Derrick shut the door to his room and turned up his music. "Okay."
Manny crouched out of her room and walked across her roof. She remembered during the summer doing this every night.
"Be careful!" He whispered harshly.
"I know…I know." She jumped the small crack dividing their houses. And she climbed into his bedroom.
