"Hey Step-mom"
"Yeah Honey" She gives me a big smile.
"Can you go with the others as I talk with my father?" She looks at my father and he nods
his head. My Step-mom walks to the others. All the women and guys are happy. Ross is alone. Where did Rosa go? Suddenly, Hunter Azul Ann-Marie, and Ross walk away. They are no longer in my sight. The crowd is too big. I can no longer see that well because it is getting dark quickly. It is now about 8 p. m.
"How have you been?" I decide to be a good son right now.
"I have been good and you?" Ah, where did the 'and you' come from.
"Good" He responds "Did you have anything to tell me?" He seems so innocent.
"Why are you here?"
"Just to visit you" He smiles again. What is he doing? He needs to stop this smiling. It is making me feel like a bad guy.
"Then why did the girls say that you all arrived about a week or 5 days ago?" I ask my father but before he answers Mi-Ran comes running towards me. She shakes her hand telling me to come down to her height so that she tells me something.
"If dad tells you that I and Ma-Rin lied about coming here about a week ago," Mi-Ran whispers in my ear, "Do not believe him. He is the liar. Also, Unni is very pretty" Mi-Ran runs back to one of Gwen's arms. Gwen looks back at my father and her eyes open wide. Her facial expression is one of someone scared. Is it because of my father?
"What did Mi-Ran tell you?"
"Is it a lie that you arrived 5 days ago?"
"We arrived a day ago to go to the botan-" He stops himself.
"Botanic?" I ask trying not to saying 'garden' so I see what he says.
"Yeah um..." He stutters. "I mean...no another one"
"Mhm"
"We just came here to see you and Gw-" Gwen? "-waiting..."
"How did you know her name?"
"You follow her on Instagram"
"How did you know that I have an Instagram?"
"How would I not?" Well played old man once again.
"Then...why did the girls say you made them go up to Gwen?"
"Like, I told you, we came here for you so I thought that knew where you were. It wouldn't look right if I asked a stranger where my son is therefore asked the girls if they could go up to her to see if she knew where you were. Faster than we knew it, you were right there at the same place...that leads me to ask you..." Why is he talking so much? So annoying "Who is this Gwen gi- I mean woman. Is she your girlfriend or something because you seem to like looking at her?" If he knows more about her it could be dangerous. I do not want her to get hurt or to be involved with my family.
