My Best Friend's Dad

Chapter 3

I woke up the next morning. I got out of my warm covers and walked to my bathroom. I flossed, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, and showered.

I went to my bedroom and dressed "Nice". I basically never care what I wear.

I put on a pair of jean shorts, white Vans, and a white tank top. I wore a simple gold necklace and grabbed my brown leather cross body.

I walked into my kitchen and made some cereal. My mum had already gone to work.

I texted Liz.

"Hey is it alright if I come over now?"

She replied ten minutes later.

"Yeah, the surprise isn't here yet though. Just walk in. I'll be taking a shower. XOXO"

I sent her "Okay" and left my house.

I parked my car in their circle driveway. I then rang their doorbell.

"Baby, fancy seeing you here. Would you be a doll and tell Lou that I have a meeting that I am late for?" Mrs. Tomlinson asked me.

"Yes ma'am." I smiled.

"Okay thanks dear." She walked past me and to her car. She looked like a slu- a very revealing woman. And she was going to a meeting?

I stepped into the house and closed the door behind me. This house was like a maze. I had no idea where to turn.

"Mr. Tomlinson?" I asked, looking around at their huge house.

This time I yelled a bit louder, "Mr. Tomlin -"a pair of hands grabbed my waist.

I jumped and turned around.

"Yes, love?" he asked. It was him. He was wearing a suit as usual. I exhaled.

"You dressed nice. Where is Tiffany?" he asked looking around.

"Your wife said she was going to a meeting she was late for." I said quietly. I was nervous just talking to him.

He walked closer to me, causing me to hit my back against the wall behind me. "Speak louder, love."  He whispered into my ear.

I coughed, "She was late to a meeting." I blinked.

He backed away from me. He cursed under his breath and slammed his hand onto a nearby table, causing me to flinch.

He looked toward me. "Sorry, Baby. It's just..." He looked as though whatever I said about a meeting truly upset him.

"Yes?" I almost begged him to continue.

"Nothing." he rubbed his forehead. "So why are you all dressed up?" He looked me up and down giving me chills.

"Uh, Liz said she had a surprise for me." I kicked me left foot with my right.

"She's in the shower now. Come up to my office. I wouldn't want you to be alone. These halls become very confusing at times." he said putting his hands in front of him, asking me to walk ahead of him.

The whole way up the stairs I could feel his eyes on me; his dreamy blue, green eyes that seemed to capture your every thought.

"It is just to your left." I turned into his room. There was a desk and a typewriter on the center of it.

"It's very simple in here." I said, walking further into the room.

"I like simple."  He said right behind me.
