This is a slightly shorter chapter, but I hope you enjoy anyway! Thank you again for your reviews/favourites/follows. Always puts a smile on my face!
I am aware that the so-called latest fashion trends mean that you wear your jeans several sizes too big so that your underwear shows. Please don't be embarrassed but you look ridiculous and so do your friends. I realise that you are just following the latest trends because you aren't original in your choices so let's come to a negotiation: You may come to the door with your clothes showing and your pants too big and I will not comment. However, to make certain that your clothes do not accidentally slide off, I will take my staple gun and fasten your jeans snugly in place to you waist.
Aaron came home from work late one Friday evening and immediately noticed the stillness of his house. As he threw his keys into the bowl in the hall he furrowed his eyebrows.
"Emily?" He called, but was issued with no response.
He walked into the living room and saw his youngest daughter Emma colouring in on the sofa and humming to herself as she lightly kicked her legs against the seat.
Aaron sat opposite her and tried to think if he had forgotten something that was happening today and if so, how prepared for Emily's wrath he should be. Before he could ask Emma, the doorbell rang and a light went on in his head as he remembered exactly was tonight was.
Aaron groaned as Emma looked up at him and giggled; "It's date night isn't it?" he asked Emma.
Emma continued to giggle before replying; "Yep!"
Aaron quickly got up and opened the front door as Emma ran past him and up the stairs, coming face to face with a boy whose hair fell over his eyes and whose clothes were far too baggy. Aaron could only wonder how this was practical. He had chains hanging from his neck and trousers and he looked up at Aaron, he brushed the hair out of his face and tilted his head.
"Sup dude" the boy said as Aaron stared him out. Sup dude? What kind of moron was he that couldn't say a simple hello?
"You must be Sophia's date... come on in" Aaron said through his teeth as he stepped aside and let the boy in.
As he walked through the front door, Emily and Sophia came downstairs.
"Daddy, I didn't realise you were home!" Sophia said happily as she kissed her dad on the cheek. "Mom, dad, this is Jax."
"With an 'X'" he added as Emily raised her eyebrows and Aaron furrowed his in disgust.
"With an X..." Aaron repeated under his breath. "Did you misplace your belt tonight Jax, your trousers seem to be hanging a little low"
Sophia cowered her face in embarrassment as Jax laughed awkwardly; "No Papa Shore, it's the style" he said.
Papa Shore? This kid sounded high.
"Well let me assure you, I do have a staple gun in the shed that I would gladly use to help keep your trousers in place... unless of course you can asure me that they won't mysteriously fall down this evening."
Jax gulped as he quickly pulled his pants up a little higher.
"See, that looks much better!" Aaron said cheerfully as he reached for his wallet. "Here's some money Soph" he said handing his daughter the notes as she snatched it out of his hand. "Maybe buy Jax some proper pants..." he whispered to her and she shot him a death glare.
"Dad I swear if you keep this up no one is ever going to want to date me." Sophia said through her teeth.
"And that would be a bad thing?" Aaron teased as Sophia swivelled on her foot and dragged Jax out the door.
"What a loser" Aaron commented.
"Yeah I don't know how to defend this one, he called you Papa Shore" Emily said as she went into the kitchen.
Aaron heard giggling coming from upstairs so he made his way up to see what his three girls were up to. He followed the giggling to the office at the end of the hall and saw Emma and Annabelle standing beside Charlotte as she did something on the computer.
He crept in so they couldn't see him and realised they were watching a video of something.
"What you watching?" he said, causing all three girls to jump and scream.
"Uh... nothing..." Annabelle and Charlotte said at the same time.
"Girls..." Aaron said, giving them a warning glare.
Charlotte sighed; "Fine... we were watching Sophia's date as he came up the drive but when he got out of the car, his pants fell down and we got it on video..." Charlotte explained as she showed her dad the video.
Aaron struggled to hold in his laughter as he watched Jax stumble around outside the house trying to pull his pants back up, even falling over once.
"We hacked into Sophia's Facebook and were going to send it to all her friends but we got busted..." Annabelle explained.
Aaron looked at the girls for a second. He knew they should delete that video immediately, but what was the harm in having a little bit of fun?
"You know... I'm going to leave this room, and I'm going to pretend that I was never in here, or that I ever saw you and what you were doing... that's all." Aaron said as he backed out of the room, leaving the three girls with the biggest smirks on their faces.
The following morning at breakfast, Aaron heard Sophia laughing with the twins about the video and asking them to show her how they so easily hacked into her Facebook as messed up as it was. They really were little evil masterminds, and Aaron was more than happy to be none the wiser on this occasion.
Don't forget to review:)
