Chapter 6- It's a Small World

"Kevin, what do you mean we need to talk," inquired Lucy.

" Sweetheart…Baby…Lucy…there's something I need to tell you, but I don't think I should do it here," responded Kevin.

The two just look at each other for a few moments until an uncomfortable Shauna said something.

" Lucy, obviously this isn't a good time. You and Kevin talk and here's my number, we can get together for lunch another day this week. Alright?" said Shauna.

"Okay, that sounds good. I will call you later," said Lucy.

As Shauna walks away, her little boy runs up to Kevin yelling "Daddy?"

Annie is getting dinner ready while Ruthie, Nathan, and the Reverend sit in the living room having one of Eric's most infamous "talks".

"So Nathan, what kind of grades do you make?" Eric said.

"Well sir, I make straight A's in all of my classes. I want to go to Yale and you have to make very high grades to get into Yale so I study a lot." Nathan replied.

"Oh, I see. Well that's a very big goal, trying to get into Yale," Eric said.

"Yes I know. But I am a very hard worker." Nathan said.

Ruthie was just sitting there rolling her eyes. Wanting dinner to be ready. Please God, don't let him ask about his love life…she was thinking.

" Well Nathan I think there is only one more question I have for you." Eric said to Nathan.

"Yes sir?"

"Do you like my daughter?" Eric asked.

Ruthie could have almost died as her dad said the last word. She was absolutely mortified.

Nathan glanced nervously over to Ruthie, and she gave him a wimpy smile. He then turned back to the Rev.

" Why yes sir, I must say I like her a lot."

Ruthie was so relieved.

"Well then all I have to say is this…You treat her right and I won't have a problem with you. Got it?" said Eric.

"Of course sir."

Just then Annie came into the room and told them that dinner was ready.

They all got up and entered the dining room. Ruthie had no idea what she was getting herself into…

Alright well there will be another chapter next weekend! Hope yall enjoyed this chapter! && one more thing…. I 3 reviews!
