Chapter 3- Parents Day
"Mom we have to go to parents day it's time for parents day" Opening the door to the bathroom.
It was parent's day. The day when parent's go and meet there kids teachers and see what they are leaning. Ginger was so excited, to show Manny all the new and exciting things she was learning at middle grounds.
"Hold on I have to look cute" Manny said shutting the bathroom door.
"So you can look cute for Missy's dad" Ginger said
"No. I told you I'm not going to marry Missy's dad. I just have to meet him before you can go to there house" Manny exclaimed
Missy's dad was all Ginger talked about lately. "You should see him he's so nice" Ginger would exclaim "He's a photographer and he takes really pretty pictures of Missy" "He has a wonderful smile" I think the only thing that Ginger didn't tell Manny was his blood type.
"Mom hurry up" Ginger said pounding on the bathroom door
"I just have to touch up sweet heart hold on" Manny yelled back
Manny looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was in braided pigtails. She was wearing a black skirt that was a little over her knees and her shirt said "Sexy" In pink. Manny opened the door and looked at Ginger.
"Appropriate enough for you school" Manny asked
"It doesn't matter Missy's dad will be taking it off tonight" Ginger said with a grin
"You are a bad child." Manny said "Don't kid like that you understand me"
"I'm sorry mom" Ginger said putting her head down
"So I look that hot in this outfit?" Manny asked with a smile
Manny hated to see Ginger frown. It made her feel like she did something wrong. And that made her feel like a bad mother. And she knew if she was a bad mom Emma would take Ginger away like she did when Ginger was three.
"I'm so happy to have you here Mrs. Santos" Mrs. Freeman Gingers teacher said
"It's Ms. Santos" Manny said
"That's what I said"
"No you I heard you say Mrs."
"Anyway…I am so happy to have Ginger in my class. She's very smart and energetic and just very nice to the other kids."
"Mom" Ginger said pulling on Manny's arm "Missy and her dad are here"
"Hold on Ginger" Manny whispered
"That's great I am so happy that she knows how to react with other kids given that she's an only child"
"No she's great. Very outspoken which I like. Very open minded."
"Mom" Ginger whispered
"Well I have to go to the bathroom so yeah I'll talk to you later Mrs. Freeman" Manny said walking away.
"Now close your eyes" Ginger said
"Ginger I don't want to close my eyes." Manny said
"Just do it mom" Ginger said "I want to surprise you"
Manny just looked at Ginger.
"Please?" She pleaded
"Ok" Manny said she covered her eyes with one hand and gave the other to Ginger to lead her.
They walked out of the school and onto the school playground.
"Now I'm going to lead you to the swing and you keep your eyes closed" Ginger demanded "Don't say anything either"
"Ok" Manny whispered she sat on the swing and waited.
2 minuets later.
"Finally you're here" Ginger said
"It was hard to talk my dad into closing his eyes." Missy said "Dad sit down in the swing and don't say a thing. And keep your eyes closed"
"Now we are going to tell you guys three things about each other so you can get a feel of who you the other person is before even seeing each other. " Ginger said
"This is Ginger's mom dad. She's really nice and pretty"
"This is Missy's dad mom. He's a photographer and he's hot" Ginger said
"Ginger's mom is smart and talented"
"Missy's dad is nice and cooks"
"Ginger's mom can make you feel good when your sad"
"Missy's dad can give good back rubs and keeps the house clean"
"Now stand up" Missy said
Manny and Ginger's dad both stood up.
"Mom turn left" Ginger said
"Dad turn right."
Now they were facing each other.
"Keep your eyes closed" Missy hissed
"Now hold hands" They giggled together
Manny and Missy's dad held hands. His hands felt so warm and they were strong. It made Manny want to melt.
"Now open your eyes"
They opened there eyes.
"Manny?"
"Craig?"
