Someone Older

Chapter 2

The man, he was handsome and tall. He had blue ocean eyes. He was pretty masculine.
I looked at my father who was talking with his friends.
But then he hung up.

"We are going to have a little party today, hopefully Annie doesn't mind that" Dad said. Annie was my Mom. She doesn't like when dad drinks or parties.
I guess dad and his friends planned to have a hangover at our house.
For me it's fine, because they are fun, especially Mickle...he is dad's best friend. He has been there since I was born. Mickle can curse when he is drunk.
Mom doesn't usually let me stay with them because they are stupid when they get drunk but I think for me they are fun. Dad has a bit of a teenage attitude, no matter how old he is now.

"I don't think she will, if you buy her flowers or something" I said while smiling. Usually I don't show any emotions but time to time i do. Mom loves when dad buys her stuff even if it's roses but she loves it.

"Hmm.. your sister will want that then." He said while chuckling but that brought my smile down because it's always her...he didn't even think if I wanted. And I'm not trying to be picky about what I get or not but it's just hurts and kind of a jealousy.
I guess my dad saw my smile drop.

"River..you too. If your sister get something than you will too. Don't worry." He said with a smile.

"Sure" I said with a calm voice.

He smiled. We got out food and we started to eat.

"You have homework?" He asked me, but I was distracted trying to find the man that I saw a while ago. I guess he left.

"River?" My dad did with a louder voice that snapped me out of my thoughts.

"No I don't"

"Okay" He answered. I knew he believed me because I never got a bad mark or I have never gotten yelled by a teacher for not doing homework or something like that.
The cafe actually itself was really gorgeous. I loved this place since I was little. My parents would take me here at any events. Still do but with Aurora.
This place hold most of my memories with Mom and dad because usually they were busy. Now these days because of my sister they are home, which is okay because I can spend my time with them after my sister falls asleep, well rarely.
The cafe had paintings which show history, and history itself was my favourite.
It had plants, and calm music. Beautiful wooden chairs and tables.

After we ate, we thanked the waiters and went to the car.
Dad went into the store and bought Mom roses, me and my sister chocolate. And himself some beer. And we drove home

"Dad..? Can I ask something." I looked at him while fidgeting with my phone.

"Mhm" he noded his head.

"Is it weird for my age people to date somebody that's over the age of 20? I know it's weird but I want to know." I asked him. I knew the answer but I wanted to know his point of view of that topic.
I saw his eyes widen.

"Uhh..well for me its weird and disgusting. Because your age people are minors as for them, they are adults but, if nobody notices and the parents allow and are fine with that, I guess in that case it's fine." He says without taking his eyes of the road. He said it calmly

"If I dated a guy who was older that 20, would you let me. Please don't think this is serious, I'm just wondering father" I said adding the last words I'm just wondering so he wouldn't think I'm weird.

He was quiet for a while.
"See hunny, if it's just playing around and I would see that he would be just playing with you, it's a no for me, but if i actually noticed true love in there, maybe I would, but don't think now that I would actually accept it. I'm just saying that now. You max age is 18 to date." He smiled as he said that. I nodded.

Him and Mom are actually 5 years a part. And they met when Mom was 17 and he was 22. My no gave birth to me when she was 19 and they got married at the age of 20. And both of them had their first love that wasn't each other.
Mickle was my mom's first love and that's how my mom met my dad.
Mickle isn't good in relationship, because he only like to joke around.
He still is good friends with my Mom although sometimes I giggle when my dad shows some jealousy signs.
As for dads first love was, a lady who I hate, so does Mom. It's because when I was little and we lived in NY she always was trying to flirt with him. But as we moved, she stayed in NY.

"Okay"

Dad pulled in the driveway and we got our of the car.
We walked in, and the house was sparkling clean. I guessed that already before I walked in because Mom liked cleaning.
I grabbed my chocolate bar and went to my room.
I took my school clothes off and put my home clothes on. I usually put on baggy clothes because I hated how skinny I was, and my family trees aren't the skinny type. Mom is middle, she is a bit overweight but dad loves it. On the other hand dad ir muscular, and has abs.
I respect my dad, because he take a woman by her personality not her looks. Because Mom has always been overweight but dad didn't really care about that.
I'm skinny because of my eating. I don't eat a lot. I still do eat but less than I should. But it also may come from my fathers side, because his Mom is very skinny but she fits it. She has long dark red hair with a model face, well she used to be a model but quit after she started studying biology. She is a doctor now.

I take from her I guess.
