Chapter 2- God Is A Dj.
I've spent the last 2 days shopping with Evita and Anita. I've barely spent anytime around my dad, which isn't unusual. He sleeps during the day and goes to work at night. No big deal, I'm used to not seeing him. Can't miss what you never had right?
I had just gotten back from a jog when I my phone started ringing.
"Hello?"
"You're out of breath...oh God; did I call you during sex?"
I laughed. "No, I was just running."
"Oh, okay, good...you know that's a mother's greatest fear."
"So you've told me."
"So how's things been?"
"Okay, dad's working as normal; I did get to go see him up at work though."
"Oh really? His boss is a great guy, him and your dad have been friends for a while...I met him when I was pregnant for you."
I was quiet for a while...that's weird...are we thinking about the same person. "His boss couldn't be more than 27, if you met him then, that means he would have been 4..."
My mom was quiet, which was weird, my mom is never quiet. It was nearly a minute before she spoke again.
"Oh, um...we must be talking about a different guy..."
There was something in the way she said it. Like she was trying to cover up a mistake she made, I wasn't to sure.
We spoke for a short time, and then hung up. I got up and walked down the stairs into the kitchen. Evita was making dinner for the three of us. My dad never ate with us. I was used to it.
"Evita, how long has dad worked for Mr. Konstantin?"
She jumped at the sound of my voice. Then turned and smiled at me. "Well, he used to work for Mr. Konstantin's father."
"What happened to his dad?"
"He died." Her answer was quick, like she didn't want to go any deeper into the conversation.
"Why does he keep such weird hours?"
She stopped what she was doing and turned around. "Why are you asking so many questions?"
"I'm just curious."
I don't know why Mr. Konstantin has weird hours, okay? This is how it's always been."
"So, you don't wonder why he would be keeping a schedule only a vampire would like?"
"No, I don't." She crossed her arms and just stared at me. "Look, Josef Konstantin is a very special kind of man. He's hard to please, and demands the best. Even with his reputation of being a hard ass, he's always treated your father with respect. Don't go nosing around in things and possibly ruin it for him okay? Just mind your business and we'll all be happy. I know how your curiosity can get the best of you. But for our sakes, just forget about it."
I nodded, trying to figure out why I asking questions could possibly hurt the family.
"Will you go get Anita and tell her dinner will be ready soon?"
I nodded again and ran up to Anita's room. I knocked on her door.
"Come in."
I stepped in; she was laid out on her bed reading a book. I walked over and pulled the book out of her hand and read the cover.
"Vampire: In Legend and Fact...Anita you can't honestly believe in this shit."
She tore the book back out of my hands. "I don't, they just interest me that all..."
"Evita said dinner will be ready soon."
She nodded and went back to her book. Why is it that I'm suddenly noticing how weird my family is?
-Midnight-
I was still up, I couldn't sleep, which is unusual for me. I had just gotten into the movie I had put on when my phone started ringing.
"Hello?"
"Did I wake you up?"
"No, I haven't gotten to sleep yet."
"Oh good, will you do me a favor?"
I sighed. "Yea dad, what do you need?"
"I left a folder at in my office that I need, would it be too much to ask for you to bring it up to me? I can't really leave right now."
"Yea I'll bring it to you, is it in your desk?"
He explained where the folder was, I got it and I told him I would be up within the hour.
"One more thing Toni..."
"Yea?"
"Don't open it..."
"Wasn't planning to."
"Good."
We hung up and I just sat there. I had no plans to open it and read what was inside. But now that he made it clear that he didn't want me to read it, I wanted to open it.
This sucks.
-Dad's Office.-
I stepped out of the office and Bethany was sitting behind her desk just like last time.
"Oh Antoinette, here to see your dad?"
I smiled at her. "Please, call me Toni...and yes, can you buzz him for me?"
"Actually no, he's in a meeting with someone right now..."
"You're kidding right? He asked me to bring this to him." I lifted the folder so she could see it.
"Oh, that's for Mr. Konstantin, you can bring it back there to him."
"Can you do it?"
She gave me a weird look. "Why?"
"I really don't want to be alone with him."
She laughed. "Why, does he scare you or something?"
I bit my lip. "No, he just looks at me like he's wondering what I would taste like."
Her eyes grew serious for a second, and then quickly flashed back to her normal perky blue."
"Oh, just go back there, he doesn't bite."
I sighed and walked past her desk towards the end of the hall. I knocked and he soon answered.
"Well hello Toni."
I gave him a small smile. "Here."
He looked down at the folder I thrusted at him. He took it then looked back up at me.
"Thank you, your father can be forgetful sometimes."
"Most people are forgetful when they're working in the middle of the night."
He gave me one of his dazzling smiles. "He's used to it."
"I don't see how anyone could be used to it."
"You'd be surprised."
He smirked at me again. "Would you stop doing that?"
"What?" He asked with feigned innocence.
"Looking at me like I would be good with a nice white wine, it's a little more than disturbing."
He laughed at me. "No, I'm more of a red wine type of guy."
I glared at him. "Just because my dad works for you doesn't allow you to mock me."
He laughed again. "It's not my fault; you just make it so easy."
I bit my lip, if he would have been anyone else I would have come back with some form of vulgar comment. But I had to remember he was my dad's boss.
I straightened to my full height of 5'3 spoke to him in a calm tone.
"Goodnight Josef."
He smirked. "Goodnight Antoinette."
I glared at him and he shut the door. I could hear his laughing through the door.
I didn't find him to interesting anymore. Now I found in irritating.
