CHAPTER 4
When we were finally over our kissing frenzy I hopped of his lap and sat on the bed beside him, I curled into his arms which were wrapped around me and stretched up as high as I could and whispered in his ear "You know how you don't have a mum? Well surprisingly enough I don't have a dad. So I was wondering if when I go home tonight your dad could come in and meet my mum."
He turned to me and his eyes were questioning, "But wouldn't that then make us brother and sister?"
I hadn't thought of that, "But we wouldn't really be related, so its fine!" I objected
He waited a minute and finally replied "you know what? I think that's a wonderful idea, let's go down and tell dad now." He said as he grabbed my hand.
I usually felt relaxed around strangers but because of my idea I wasn't sure if Edward would approve, he seemed nice enough but I had a feeling that he could be mean.
Brendan sat down on the couch and I followed. We sat for a few minutes o enjoy yet another kiss before Brendan called for his dad. I stiffened next to Brendan and he just grasped my hand even tighter.
"Yes Brendan?" Edward asked from around the kitchen.
"Dad, Aleisha and I have come up with an idea, why don't you come listen to it?"
Slowly but not slowly enough for me Edward sat down next to me. I cleared my throat thinking that I would be the one explaining everything, but Brendan beat me to it.
"Well Dad, you know how mum left when I was young? Well" he paused and again I thought I would be doing the talking but he continued "Aleisha is in the same situation with her dad, and we were just thinking that you well… would like to meet her." explained Brendan.
Edward paused for a minute and then finally replied "Hmm… well I haven't really had much of a social life these past ten years. So I suppose I could do with a new friend."
I sighed and felt that I needed to thank him for this; Mum hadn't had much of a social life either. "Thanks Edward, Mum is in a similar- well exactly the same position as you and I would love for her to have a new friend!"
Things for mum would finally clear up in her life and she would finally have a new beginning. I was so happy that even thought I was in front of Brendan's father, I just couldn't resist the urge to give Brendan a big sloppy kiss, and so I did. After a minute of that, Edward cleared his throat and I had totally forgotten that he was there. "Oops" I stuttered and tried to cover my blush with my hair. But Edward just giggled and complimented me on my blush.
