One or Two Things I Know for Sure
Chapter 20 Date
You aren't happy about this, nope, not in the least bit.
She is too young, she shouldn't be out that late, and well… hell she's your first born and you thought you still had time to protect her.
You tell this to your wife to try and change her mind about letting this happen (you won't admit that you begged, because that didn't happen).
She just rolls her eyes, like she does every time you think you are being perfectly reasonable and she just doesn't get it.
You then proceed to moan and complain. Something that is entertaining Leah to no end, while Maddy is sitting next to you trying to comfort you about this (she tells you that the first time is the hardest and it will be easier from next time, you glare at her and Leah starts to laugh so hard she actually falls from the sofa).
When the doorbell rings you are up before your wife can stop you, she was busy trying to convince your only son that you shouldn't draw on walls (you will need to thank Caleb for this later).
So you answer the door and you glare, hopping that it will scare the vermin away before they leave and you won't have to worry about him anymore.
You are sure he is tempted, because he chokes on his spit when you send him a very nasty glance as he raises his hand to shake yours.
"Daddy!" You hear your daughter say, following her stamping her foot.
You should feel ashamed of yourself, but it's too hard to admit you have to let her go already.
"I didn't do anything" you defend yourself and you know she doesn't believe you.
"We talked about this" she tells you, hands on her hips. She looks almost grown up, when did that happen?!
More importantly, how can you make it stop?
"I never said I agreed"
She sighs and looks at Allison, your wife arches a brow your way and you finally step away from the doorframe. You are sure you hear the boy take in a deep breath of relief.
"This is Collin" she announces, reaching for the boys hand and wrapping her fingers around his.
You wish you could have a private talk with the boy, but your wife is suddenly at your side with her arm wrapped around yours.
"Nice to meet you Collin" Allison says, smiling.
"Speak for yourself" you tell her and she ever so lovingly sinks her nails in your arm.
"We'll be back by eleven" your daughter tells you, picking up her jacket and bag.
"Eight" you pronounce and your oldest just rolls her eyes.
She takes a step away from the boy, who is playing with his car keys. You don't like the way he is looking at your daughter. Like she is the most beautiful thing he ever laid eyes on, and he wants her all for himself.
Your daughter kisses your cheek and tells you that you are over-exaggerating; you tell her you are holding yourself back actually. You now understand what fathers were so scared of when you were a teenager.
When the front door closes behind your daughter you feel like climbing into your car and following then, not in a way spies do it so they don't know you are there. You want them to see you and for the boys to just give up.
Your car keys however are hidden and you again sit back on your sofa and start counting down the seconds till eleven.
"You knew first date's had to come around sometime. She's already 15" your wife tells you, but you can somehow since that deep down she is as happy about all this as you are.
"She was three yesterday" you mumble.
"Shouldn't have gone to sleep then" she tells you, kissing your lightly before getting up. "Just think, you still have to go through with all this for Maddy and Leah"
"Don't you even joke about that!"
