Summer Loving
Chapter
9
I
woke up the next day with mixed feelings. I swear Andy was about to
kiss me last night and I might have actually been lookin forward to
it. Except I needed to get these feelings out of me because I am
and always will be madly in love with Justin and now that I
actually might have a chance with Justin, I don't need someone
like Andy to mess things up.
I go down stairs to get a bowl of cereal to see Brittany in her
nightgown. Ew, she spent the night. I quickly slip into the hallway
to ease drop on her conversation on the phone. "I mean, I told
my mom I didn't need to go to college." I quickly assumed
she was talking to a friend or something. "He's loaded,
has a huge house right on the beach, and he's totally in love
with me." I heard her crackle from the other room talking
about my father. I knew it. "After he proposes, which he
definitely will, I'll be set for life." she added. I
honestly was in shock, like I figured this was going on the whole
time but hearing it from her was completely different. Footsteps
started to bang down the stairs. "Got to go, talk to you
later, kisses." Brittany said in the other room. She had the
vocabulary of a thirteen year old girl.
"Morning, sweeite." my dad said to her, kissing her on
the cheek. It was making me sick. "What are you up to
today?" he asked her. "Going shopping with the
girls." she said as I walked into the kitchen. "Good
morning, Val." my dad said to me. "Morning." I
answered back. "Val, good morning!" Brittany chimed. I
ignored her and went for a box of cereal. "Well, I'm going
to get ready for the day." Brittany said as she kissed my
father on the cheek and waltzed upstairs.
My father and I sat there quietly for a while. He was drinking his
coffee and flipping through the paper while I was inhaling some
cereal. "Dad, I have to tell you something." I said
nervouslly. He folded the paper up and looked at me.
"Brittany, was on the phone this morning and I overheard her
and she basiclly said that she's using you for your
money." I managed to tell him. I mean, he should know the
truth. He just stared at me for a while. "Valire, how
many times are you going to lie about these things? I know it's
hard but you have to accept that I love Brittany." I stood up
quickly in digust. "But, I heard it. They were her words not
mine!" I stampered. "Val, honestly, you need to stop
doing this. Stop making up lies, it's not going to change the
way I feel about her." he said. I was on the verge of tears.
"Dad, I can't believe you're starting to trust me over
her? I'm your daugher!" I shouted. "And she's my
girlfriend." he said back, "And you're going to have
to respect her and respect our relationship." It was almost
pointless to keep going, "Ahhh!" I screamed in fustration
while stomping up to my room.
As soon as I got up there and slammed my door I got a text from
Justin. It read, 'Sorry, can't hang out today, have to
cancel. But we need to hang out tomorrow! :)' Great, I'm
possibly in the worse mood ever and I thought he would be able to
change it but I guess not. I then sent a text to Jasmine, 'Want
to hang out today?' She quickly texted back, 'Sorry,
I'm busy. Another day though.' Really? I couldn't just
stay home alone today. I was a mess and needed someone to make me
feel better. I scrolled through my contacts and stopped at
Andy's name. No, no, no, I kept telling myself. But deep down I
wanted to text him. It's not that I liked liked him, right? He
was just a friend that listend to me one time. I finally decided to
text him if he was free today. He responded seconds later with,
'Yeah, wanna hang out?'
