Patrick's pov:
"Thanks for walking me" she turns around as soon as we get to her house. "Of course" I say. She kisses me. "Text me later" she says. "I will" I let go of her hand.
She walks into her house. "Bye" she says. "Bye" I smile. She closes the door. I walk back to my house.
"Oh, hi sweetie" I smile as I see tallula sat on the couch. "Hi" she says. "When did you get home?" I ask. "A minute ago" she says.
I sit next to her. She smiles at me. "Listen honey, your mom is in town" I say. "How do you know?" She asks. "She came here this morning" I say. She smiles.
"To see me?" She asks happily. "Yeah" I say. "Can you tell her to come over then?" She asks. "Yeah.. but baby, don't get your hopes up please.. she always does this and you're always so disappointed" I say. She rolls her eyes.
"I'll call her" I say, leaving the room. I sigh, grabbing my phone. I call her. She tells me she's on her way over. I start cooking something for us all to eat.
She arrives. I'm sat on the chair opposite in the living room, watching them as they catch up. They're sat on the couch next to eachother.
If jillian says ONE thing that will hurt that girls feelings, I might actually kill her. She always finds a way to bring her down whenever she comes here.
"What do you think of ellen?" Jill asks. "I really like her.. but daddy has only been on one date with her, you know?" She saus. She looks at me. "Ah" Jill says, only now realising its not serious between us.
"But you do like her?" Jill asks. "Yes, she's really nice.. and she makes daddy happy" she smiles at me. I smile back at her.
"Do you like ellen better than me?" She asks. Tallula giggles. I just roll my eyes. She's so manipulative. "No, of course not" tal says.
"The dinner will be ready soon.. why don't we move to the table" I stand up. "Okay" they stand up.
"Come here" I mouth to her. She walks over. Jillian goes into the dining room. "Are you okay?" I ask. "Yes, it's going well" she says.
"Tell me if she does anything that upsets you" I say. "I will dad, but you don't have to worry, I can defend myself.. she's being nice anyway" she shrugs.
"Are you okay with her talking about Ellen?" She asks. "Yeah, she's just trying to wind me up" I say. "Ignore it" she says. "Can you help me put the dinner out?" I ask. She nods. We go into the kitchen.
We sit at the table. "Has tallula told you what she got in school the other day?" I ask. Jill shakes her head. "A boyfriend?" Her eyes light up. Tal looks down.
"No Jill, she won an award.. she came second in the spelling bee" I say. "Second?" She asks, giving me a look of disapproval, that tal definitely saw.
"Its competitive.. I'm very proud of her" I kiss the side of her head. She smiles at me.
"Can we talk about something else? How did you and ellen start dating?" Jillian asks. I hear tal sigh. "I invited her out with some friends and we ended up drinking quite a bit.. one thing led to another" I say. She's jealous. I can see it in her eyes.
"You brought her back here? With tal here?" She asks. "Its not like I could send tal over to your house, is it?" I strike back at her.
"You're fucking a random woman when your daughter is sleeping in the next room, and you're blaming it on me? I'm not the bad guy here" she says.
"Don't talk about Ellen like that, my personal life has absolutely nothing to do with you, and my daughter likes her.. as she's already said! If she tells me she feels uncomfortable by it then I wouldn't bring her here again" I stand up.
"Our daughter, patrick! She's mine too" she stands up. "Then act like it!" I yell.
We look at her as we see tallula walk out of the room crying. I sigh. "Get the fuck out of my house" I say to jillian before walking after tallula.
I knock on her bedroom door. I open it slowly and walk in. "Hey, I'm sorry" I sit next to her. She's crying quietly into her hands. I hug her tight. She cries into my shoulder, hugging me back.
"I hate her" she cries. "Its okay baby" I whisper, rubbing her back gently. I hug her tighter.
She finally calms down and I slowly pull away from her. "Do you want to finish your dinner?" I ask. "Can you invite ellen over?" She wipes her tears, smiling slightly. I smile.
"Of course" I say. We go back to the kitchen. I call ellen. She's over in ten minutes.
I open the door after I hear the doorbell. Me and tal were sat on the couch watching tv.
"Hi" she smiles at me. "Hi" I say. I smile as she kisses me softly. "Where's tallula?" She asks. "Couch" I say. She walks in.
"Hey" she sits next to her. "Hi" tallula smiles at her. "Sooo.. your mom's a bitch" she says. Tallula giggles. I smile, walking into the kitchen so they can talk in private.
