27. Gill's Dad Is A DILF

I woke up, rubbing the tiredness out of my eyes. I looked over at the clock and it read 7:34 am. "Are you serious?" I muttered, falling back onto the pillow. "I can't even sleep late on the weekends." I groaned before deciding it was pointless to lay there. I got up and walked towards the door, pulling it open. The intoxicating aroma of French toast filled my nose as I stood there with the door open. Mom must've stayed home. I thought to myself. I reached over and grabbed the sweater off the chair, tugging it around my shoulders. It gets cold in the mornings, hence my socks and sweater. I shut the bedroom door and started towards the stairs.

My mom's bedroom is right near the stairs. I found it odd that her door was closed if she was awake. I just shrugged it off and continued downwards. Rounding the corner and letting my hand glide across the newel post, I paused on seeing someone standing at the stove who definitely was not my mother. It was a man, and he was shirtless. Well, there's nothing more awkward than your mother having a one-night stand in your house, but it's even creepier for her date to fix breakfast instead of just lighting out of here. I moved across the living room to the kitchen and stopped on the opposing side of the island. "Ahem." I said, clearing my throat. The person jumped and turned around to face me. He looked like he was close to my mom's age at least. He had a beard, a bit taller. His body was in great shape for an older man. As my eyes wandered back up to his, I realized there was a familiarity there.

"Good morning, princess." He said. I wrinkled my brow. "Umm...who are you?" I asked. At this point, I was pretty disgusted with myself even, but princess? Yuck. He offered a bright smile. "You don't remember me, do you?" He questioned, moving the plate of finished toast to where I was standing. I folded my arms. "Should I?" I asked. "Considering we look so much alike. I would have figured you'd answered the million-dollar question by now." He said. That was when it hit me. "Dad?" "Took you long enough." He said, his smile never faltering. "Oh my god, you're my dad!" I squealed, moving around the island. I suddenly found myself overcome with girlish tendencies. I wrapped my arms around him, squeezing him tightly and he returned the affection. "I-I-god, I don't even know where to start..." I said. "Well, I'm going to be here for a while, so we'll have time to cover the basics." "Oh my god, really?"

"Listen, maybe we could, grab a coffee some time." Scott said. Jade just raised a brow. "Scott...this was not a—like we're—we're not going to continue doing this." "Well, if you're interested, you know where to find me." He said. "I'll see you later." She said, leaning forward and kissing him on the cheek. There was a cab waiting downstairs from his apartment, curbside. Scott watched as she walked down the steps and got into the cab. It sped away. "No more dates from the club." He grumbled to himself.

While riding home in the cab, Jade checked her text messages. Nothing from anyone. She opened a new message window for Gill.

J: Coming home, last night fucking sucked. I need to shower & then I'll bring the money.

She pressed 'Send' and just held her phone in her lap. Her head was pounding. "Late night?" The driver asked. "You have no idea." Jade said, reaching up and rubbing her fingers against her temple. The driver made no additional comments and the droning noise of his ticking turn signal hummed on.

Once home, Jade rushed upstairs to check on her father, who was asleep in bed still. There was nothing she needed to do for him; he'd been good taking his pain meds and cleaning the wounds himself. She hopped into the shower, hoping to scrub off last night's one night stand. Javi was still heavy on her mind. It seemed like he refused to leave, taunting her and laughing at her inability to forget him. She rubbed the scrubbie against the flesh on her arm nearly rubbing it raw as she seemed to get lost in her thoughts. Sleeping with Scott changed nothing, she was still in love with Javier.
