When I got us to our dad’s house, Hannah was awake and very excited. She hasn’t seen my dad in over two weeks and she gets depressed easily with everything going on with him and mum.
My dad was waiting inside, and opened the door as soon as I pulled in the driveway. Hannah hopped out and ran to him. He swiftly lifted her in his arms and spun her around.
I grabbed our bags and walked inside. I gave my dad a huge hug and smiled at him.
“Well, ladies, looks like we’ve got a few things to do before you,” he pointed at Hannah, “Go to bed. And before you,” he pointed at me, “Go to any parties.”
I laughed and asked “What exactly do you have planned?”
“Well, it is your 18th, so it’s very big.”
“It’s only big because once I’m eighteen I’m legal and can drink.”
“Right, exactly! You should be excited!”
“I am, but it really isn’t that big of a deal.” He rolled his eyes and we went into the back room. I sat down in my big blue bean bag. I sank into it and sighed happily.
My dad left and came back with 3 bags and 2 boxes wrapped in ‘Happy Birthday’ wrapping paper.
“Really, Dad, why do you do this to me?” I laughed. He just rolled his eyes.
“Just open them.” I did as I was told. I opened the bags first. In the first bag, there were two beanies, a grey and a navy blue, a pair of aviators, and two outfits. The first outfit was a pair of peach skinnies, a grey long sleeve t-shirt, a peach scarf, and a pair of grey pumps. The second outfit was a pair of white short-shorts, a short sleeve grey V-neck, grey flip-flop sandals, and an orange, brown, grey, white and black, plaid scarf.
The second had two outfits as well. The first was a pair of zebra print SUPRAS, black sweat pants that come below the knee, with ‘DANCE’ printed on the side of the right leg, and a white t-back white tank top with ‘OUT OF CONTROL’ printed on the front in black letters. The second was a pair of green Hollister sweat pants, a pink tank, and a pair of brown UGGs.
The third bag had one outfit in it, and a purse. The outfit was a pair of blue jean skinnies, a floral tank top that was brown, peach, and white, a peach blazer, brown flats, and a pair of little flower earrings. The purse was a large brown bag that would be easier to use when carrying my things, since I have a lot.
“Thank you.” I said not able to stop smiling.
“There’s more.” I rolled my eyes and moved to the two boxes.
The first box had a lot of small things. It had necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, nail polish, sunglasses, beanies, and some lotion and perfume.
The second box had more private things, which was a little embarrassing for my dad to buy. I felt my cheeks heat up when I saw the bras and underwear. Wow!
“Yeah, so about the embarrassment, but your mum told me to buy you it because she had something much bigger planned. Oh, and it’s all from Victoria’s Secret, where you buy all of that kind of things.”
I smiled and placed the things to the side.
“Thanks.” I gave him a big hug.
“Let’s eat, and then you can go to that party!”
We got up and had tacos. After we ate our dinner we had some cake and they sang Happy Birthday. I gave my dad one last hug and turned to Hannah.
“Hannah Banana, are you alright?” she simply nodded. “I’ll be back tomorrow night, ok?”
