Daddy Issues

13|Conor

I lie awake with Conor's arm around me. Why couldn't I magically age over night?

A kiss on my shoulder makes me turn to Conor. "Morning." He says smiling. That god damm smile!

"Hi." I say yawning. "Did you sleep okay?" He asks and I shake my head no. "Shouldn't have forgotten your blankly." He says and I roll my eyes. "It was a accident." I say and he smiles.

My phone starts to ring and I pick it up. It's Josh. I press my finger to Conor's lips.

"Hi Josh." I say answering the phone. "I'm gonna pick you up. Do you wanna get breakfast with me and Phoebe?" He asks and I smile. "Sure. I'll get ready now." I say. "Okay, I'll pick you up in about an hour." He says and I smile.

I end the phone and climb out of bed. I put my shorts and sweatshirt back on. I rush out of Conor's room and into Josh's room.

I untuck the comforter and just leave it looking a mess.

I have a quick shower and then get dressed. I put on black sweatpants and a black crop top. Gotta be comfy for the drive home later.

I french plait my hair and then pack up my stuff, I even have time to remake Josh's bed.

I haven't slept in his bed one time this weekend. What if he can tell? I'm gonna have a funeral.

"Hey man, didn't know you were up." I hear Josh say to Conor and I grab my phone.

"Everyone's raving about your team skills last night." Josh says and my eyes widen. "Oh the beer pong. Yeah she's fucking amazing at it." Conor says putting his arm around me. Is he sure he doesn't want to die?

"I'm sorry we ditched last night." Phoebe says to me. "No it's fine. Other then the fact I had to run home." I say glaring up at Conor.

"What time you leaving?" Josh asks ans I shrug. "I can't waste time. I have to go home and help Hunter with the Spanish homework. Plus I think mom wants to put up the Christmas decs this weekend. So if she hasn't put them up, I'll be shocked." I say and he nods.

"Well we can get some breakfast and then we can come back and help you with your stuff." Phoebe suggests and I nod.

When we got back from breakfast Conor and Asher were already on the xbox.

Phoebe and I watch the rain from the apartment window. "It doesn't look to safe out there." Josh says whilst putting a hand on Phoebe's shoulder. "I'll be fine, I'm a skilled driver." I say and Josh rolls his eyes.

"It's only gonna get worse." Asher fills in and I sigh. "I better get on the road. Sooner I get on the road, sooner I get home." I say and grab my stuff from Josh's room.

"I'll put it in the car. Say goodbye to everyone." Josh says before kissing Phoebe's cheek and rushing down to the Jeep.

Phoebe was the first to throw her arms around me. "Thank you for coming." She says and I smile. "That's okay." I say and give her another minute before pulling away.

"It was nice to meet you little Johnson." Asher says and I roll my eyes at him. "Tell Toby I said bye." I say and he shrugs. "If I feel like it." Asher says ans I scoff and wrap my arms around Conor.

"Promise me something." He says and I pull away and look up at him. "When you're 18, come back to me." He says and my eyes widen and my jaw drops to the floor. "What? You're pretty cool India." He says and my cheeks immediately flare up.

He kisses my cheek and then I take a step back. Phoebe and Asher look at each other and then between us. "What do you want? 3 months?" Conor asks. "Hell yeah I want three months bitch." Asher says patting Conor's back.

"Don't say anything to Josh?" I ask and she nods. "Only because I'd rather not go to your funeral." She says and Josh walks in.

"Come on." He says and I say an overall goodbye and walk beside Josh to the Jeep.

"I'm sorry about last night. I didn't mean it like that. I meant it like the childish comeback. It slipped out and I just didn't mean it in a horrible sense." I say and he nods. "I know." He says stopping at the doors.

"Be careful. Let me know when you get home." He says and I nod and hug him.

I run to my car and when I get there, I head home.

****
On the way home I spent my time on the phone to Lily telling her about the whole Conor thing because wow. Then when Hunter rang I ended up spiling to him too.

When I pulled into my drive, he was already sat there in his car.

I end the call and get out of the car and Hunter rushes over to me. "And then what?" He asks helping me take my suitcase from the boot.

"He asked me to promise to find him again when I turnt 18." I say and Hunter scrunches us his face. "What?" I ask and he shrugs. "I was just thinking about the age gap." He says and I roll my eyes.

"How was he?" Hunter asks as I unlock my front door and head inside. "A solid 9." I say leaving my suitcase by the door. "A 9?" He asks and I nod.

"He kept pulling away and telling me it was wrong and that we should stop. I mean that's not gonna make me feel good is it?" I ask and he nods. "True." Hunter says as we head into the kitchen.

"But other than that, best makeout sesh I've ever had." I say and Hunter scoffs. "You haven't made out with me yet." He says and I roll my eyes. "Not gonna happen bud." I say and he groans. "Worth a try." He teases.

"So homework?" I say and Hunter smiles and peels out a piece of paper in the pack of his jeans pocket.

"That's it? Are you serious?" I ask and he nods. "Oh god." I say finding a pain and sitting down with him.

****
"Sweetheart, your back." Mom says coming into the kitchen. "And we have company." She says and I nod. "Hunter, this is my mom, mom this is Hunter." I say.

"It's nice to meet you Mrs Johnson." Hunter says and both me and mom tense up. "Just call me Kim." She says smiling at Hunter who nods.

"We're doing homework." I say and she nods. "Ooo Spanish." She says looking over my shoulder.

"How's Josh and Phoebe?" She asks and I nod. "They're good. Phoebe was sad you couldn't come down for dinner. She's happy with her present though." I say and mom nods. "Good im glad." She says kissing my cheek.

"I'll head upstairs, don't stay up too late." Mom says and I nod. "But before I go, are you working tomorrow?" Mom asks. "I am." I say pointing to Hunter's answer.

"Okay well we're gonna put up the Christmas decorations once you get home. You're more than welcome to join us Hunter." Mom says. "Thanks Kim." Hunter says and she smiles and kisses both our cheeks before heading upstairs.

"Your moms a milf." Hunter says and I roll my eyes. "Shut up." I say and point back to the Spanish work that we've taken like 3 breaks from since he got here.

"I can't focus. Speak spanish to me." He says and I furrow an eyebrow. "Just do it." He says and I read out the homework answers to him.

"Are you actually going to wait for Conor?" Hunter asks as I sip on my water. "Technically he's waiting for me." I say and he rolls his eyes. "You know what I mean." He says and I shrug.

"Probably not. He's insanely hot and gives me the vibe that he sleeps around. So no. If I were to wait, I guarantee the day I'd turn 18 I'd drive to Seattle and he'd have another girlfriend he's madly in love with." I say and he nods. "That's a good point." Hunter says and I yawn.

"Any girls waiting for you?" I ask and he scoffs. "All of them." He says and I roll my eyes at his cockiness. "What? Come on Johnny look at me." He says.

I pretend to look from the bigger picture. "Oh I definitely see it now. Yeah wow. You're sexy." I say and Hunter grins.

"Wanna make out?" Hunter asks playfully whilst taking his jacket off. "Oh my god yes." I say grabbing the rim of my tank top and his eyes widen.

"Im joking." I say picking my pen up. "Wow Johnny, you don't play with a guys feelings like that." He says and I pat his shoulder.

"Next time." I say and he smiles. "Seriously?" He asks and I laugh. "No." I say and he pouts.
