When they entered the bar, Karen two people in the bar that she wanted to see the least at that moment. Kai, and her father. Kai looked up, but then looked away. Her father was a different story.
"Karen!" Her father said, quite loudly mind you. He was slightly drunk. "You're late…hic… who's your boyfriend.
"He's not my/her boyfriend!" both Kai and Karen said, Kai suddenly looking up. Karen turned around and stared at him.
"Well… I just assumed that… you wouldn't…" he stuttered.
"What, is he not good enough for me?" she asked hotly. Why the heck am I defending him? Why do I feel like he needs to be defended? She turned to glance quickly at Tyson. He looked slightly put down, and he wasn't talking. He was awfully quiet… and shy… Maybe he did need defending. Stop that! She thought.
"Well hic daughter…. Work tomorrow! Lot's and lots…. And…" he went off into a random mumble about grapes, and how harvesting was important and whatnot. The bartender looked around the room, seeing only Kai and her father, then turned to Karen.
"You can go if you want to Karen. Looks like I've got everything covered here."
She sighed, relieved to leave. "Thanks. Come on Tyson, let's go."
Tyson looked surprised. "What? Y-you want me to go with you? I mean, you don't mind?"
Oh crud, she thought, realizing her mistake. "Uh…uh, yeah… I'll urm… walk you home!"
"I'll join you!" Kai added quickly, pulling out his wallet to leave money on the table for his drink.
Okay, Tyson said. His mood seemed to lighten and his shoulders straightened a bit. "Well, let's get going."
The trio left the bar to Karen's father's maniacal laughter. Right before the door shut, Karen heard her father say, "Them two's gunna fight if she don't choose one soon, barkeep… BARKEEP? Where's me alcohol…."
The smartest thing he's ever said… and he's drunk…
