Chapter 5

Aub spent a blissful day with her father. Around dinner she chatted on the phone with her mother and sister. She was very eager to hang out with Maurice and could barely contain her excitement when the sun set. The clock in the hall chimed letting the house know it was eight pm. Dinner was set out for three in the diningroom.

Rolling over to look at his clock; Maurice practically fell off his couch, it was almost eight. Jumping to his feet he heads to his mirror and checks out his mohawk. Running his fingers through it he gives himself a grin. Running out of his house he rushes towards Brian's staircase. Taking the steps two at a time, he slips into Aub's room from under her bed. Looking around he is disappointed to see that she is not there. "I wonder where she is" he says.

Giving the room one last look he slips out into the hallway. Sneaking down the stairs the smell of hamburgers and french fries are in the air. Peeking around the corner he sees a table set for three.

Coming out of the laundry room, Aub is surprised to see Maurice. Getting an idea in her mind she sneaks up behind him. Using her fingers, she pokes him on both sides of his waist. He jumps in surprise a small squeak escaping his lips and lands on the floor. Brian walks in and a smile crosses his lips as he watches his daughter laugh at Maurice who can now only just grin up at her.

"Well Maurice glad to see you made it." Brian says.

Turning his head, Maurice grins at him. "Hey Bri, your daughter sure got me this time. I was gonna try and scare her or you," he admits.

Smiling sweetly at her father and Maurice she offers him a hand to help him up. "Well your just in time for dinner," Brian says. "I figured after the food fight in the dining hall, that it would still be trashed and may not look too appetizing there." All Maurice and Aub can do is laugh in response.

Sitting down they all dig into dinner. After everything is gone Aub is surprised to have noticed it was like an eating contest between Maurice and her father. Turning in his chair to look at Brian Maurice says, "hey Bri, thanks for the grub but me and Aub need to jet we're killing night hours."

Nodding his head in reply as he swallows the last of his hamburger. Grabbing Aub's hand Maurice pulls her to her feet. Keeping a hold of her hand he pulls her upstairs as Brian calls out "have fun and be back before dawn." Maurice easily lifts her bed with one hand and pulls her under it with him. As the fall he wraps his arms around her waist to keep her from plummeting down.

As they land on the ground Maurice is reluctant to let her go. Her body is warm against his. Smiling down at her with a silly grin he finally releases her from his arms. "Well babe, what would you like to do tonight?" "Anything and everything as long as you don't leave me behind."
