I do not own Dirty Dancing.
Chapter Nineteen
POV Lisa
Blackmail
"Bingo! Bingo! Bingo! That's right, it's Thursday night at Kellerman's! That's Bingo night!"
Together, my family walked towards the dining hall. My Parents were blissfully unaware that Baby had been disappearing for hours at a time, and didn't even question all the so called events she was going to. Because she was the good one. Personally, I had my doubts about the excuses she'd made.
Baby didn't give a rat's ass about art classes, and Chess, and things like that. Mom and Dad believed it because they wanted to, but the fact that she was using those as excuses meant she was lying, which was even more out of character for her than if she'd actually been doing what she said. But no, I was certain that Baby was doing something else. Something she didn't want us knowing about.
As Mom and Dad enter the dining room, a handsome Waiter stopped me. He threw a smile at me, "Hey. How about a dance later?"
Coyly, I smile at him, "Could be. Who knows?" The Waiter walks down the steps to continue with whatever he had been doing before me. I turn to enter the dining room, and a hand closed the door on me. Still smiling from the Waiter, I turn to see who it is.
It was just as I thought. Baby had come to tell me she wasn't going to be able to make it. And when she did, I was going to tell our Parents that she'd been running off for hours at a time without telling them. "Lisa," She says, "You've just got to do something for me!"
My smile fell as I gave her my answer, "I don't 'Just gotta do,' anything," God, what was she going to do? Her face was made up with eyeshadow, and lipstick, things she never wore. And I mean never.
Baby continued to smile, "Just tell Mommy and Daddy I've got a terrible headache, and I'm in bed, and check on me once. Okay?" Baby ran down the steps to wherever she's going, not even waiting for an answer. "Bye!" She called.
And it dawned on me what she'd really been doing when she asked me to lie for her. She was blackmailing me. I can't tell our Parents about her, not with all the lying she'd done for me. She would make certain to take me down with her.
And I was not going to let that happen.
*laughs deviously* I know. Short chapter. The rest is coming. This is the beginning of a character plot in this story that I have with Lisa. I wonder, what could I possibly do with her?
