Mutt Jones and the Mysterious girl 5
Sorry this took a really long time but here it is. if people are still interested.
I do not own any characters although i would like to.
Indiana Jones was busy grading one of his Archeology papers when his son walked into his office.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were suppose to be in class at this time." Indy checked his watch to make sure time had not gotten away from him. It had.
"Dad, class is over. It's been over for an hour." Mutt sat down at his father's desk. His eyes traveled over to the papers on his father's desk. He tried to see if the paper he worked on for a whole two hours was already graded.
"Then what are you doing here? You're suppose to be home already." Mutt was in enough trouble with the whole fight. Indy didn't wanted to punish the boy again, but it was his job as a father to do so.
"I know. Let me explain. I was about to leave when I wanted to see what I got on my paper." Mutt once again tried to peak at his father's desk. Indy looked his son straight in the eye and could already tell his son was lying.
"Mutt, I know that you're lying. I can tell because your eyes always look to the left." He had only known his son for about 6 months, but already he could tell if his son was lying or not.
He was caught. He didn't really care about his paper. He was really there to ask his father questions about girls. He was a little embarrassed to even think about asking his father, but whom else would he ask. He couldn't talk to his mother about this, she would just get all emotional and say something like 'my little boy Is growing up.' Ox wasn't here so that was out. It would have to be his father, the man who was suppose to be an expert on women. Mutt looked at his father and then took a deep breath.
"Okay I was gonna go home, but I have a question. Well it's not really a question. I need advice on something or someone." At first Indy thought that he had heard wrong, but then he knew he hadn't. His son was actually coming to him, Indiana Jones, for advice. Mutt saw the look in his father's eyes and just rolled his own.
"Dad, cool it. I just want to know about girls." Indy had completely forgotten all about the papers on his desk or the fact that he should of left 5 minutes ago. All that existed in the world was him and his son. Indy cleared his throat and looked at his son. Mutt looked serious as ever.
Mutt was starting to get impatient. His father was just staring at him as if he had just said something in a foreign language. He just had a few basic questions and that was all. It's not like he was asking for the secrets of the universe. "Dad can I just ask you a few questions?"
"Ah sure son. Let me first start by explaining to you something. When a man and a woman really love each other…"
"WHOA Dad I already know about that stuff. Believe me I do not need you to explain the birds and bees to me."
"Oh thank god. I was hoping that wasn't the question, but still… Wait a minute what do you mean that you 'already know about that stuff?' Because if I ever catch you…"
"Dad I meant that mom already told me about the birds and the bees. I do not know from experience. I promise." Mutt could not believe where this conversation was going.
"Oh okay. And it better stay that way until you're in your 30s. Now what do you want to need advice on or what question do you have?"
"Well see I kind of like this girl, but I don't really know that much about her. And I really don't know where to begin. I mean I have gone out with girls before, but there is something about this girl and I don't know what to do." Mutt had been waiting forever to get that out and now that he had he felt a little embarrassed.
"Are we talking about this Claire girl?" Mutt nodded his head and waited patiently for his father to continue. "Okay then just for right now get to know her. Ask her to a few dances or whatever you kids do for fun. Get a milkshake, listen to music so that you can get to know her. In other words be her friend first." Indy didn't want his son to do something he regretted. As a father he wanted his son to make the right decision and he did not want his son to do anything he himself would do.
"Are you speaking from experience dad?" Mutt really wanted to know how his father was such an expert at this. It was not like Marion was the only woman he ever dated. Loved, yes, but dated, no.
Indy thought long and hard about this question before answering "Yes. I only dated a few women and they were respectful dates. Your mother is the only woman I have ever loved." Indiana was not about to tell his son the truth. Of course some parts were true, Marion is the only woman he has ever loved. Mutt would probably never find out about his father's record, at least not from Indiana himself.
Indy finally looked at the clock and noticed that they had been there for about 30 minutes.
"We have to go kid your mother's going to be mad. Tonight is suppose to be lasagna night." Indy grabbed the ungraded papers from his desk and put them in his briefcase. As they walked out toward the parking lot he turned to Mutt who was walking the other way toward his bike, "Oh and Mutt, just let me tell you this if you take this girl out somewhere and she happens to fall asleep make sure you listen to what she is saying if she starts to talk in her sleep."
Mutt looked at his father with confusion. "Just believe me on this." Indy was about to get in his car when he turned to Mutt again.
"Hey how about going to the pool hall later and playing a few games?"
"Sure. But I have to warn you, pop, I'm going to win every game and winner gets a round of beers." Mutt said, hoping his father would fall for it.
"Okay. Winner gets a round of root beers if that's what you want. See you at home, Junior."
Mutt was left with his mouth hanging open. He walked toward his motorcycle thinking about the conversation him and his dad was going to have later today. 'What joy' he thought before riding for home.
