The Caring and The Daring {A Patrick Verona Story}

Chapter 6 - Party Time

Tonight is the night of the party that everyone can't even believe is happening. Bogey's party. And of course, Bianca and Kat's dad is still being a bit difficult. I mean I get it. But he takes overprotective to a whole other level.

"People expect me to be there!" I rolled my eyes a tad from Bianca's dramatic tone. I'm so thankful I'm an only child.

"If Skye's not going, you're not going." Bianca looked to me, smiling. Well that's where she has you for the first time in a while because I'm actually going. Which still surprises me because I don't normally do parties.

"She is daddy." He looked at me, surprised. Right? I mean I get it. I'm usually not the go crazy child. And he knows that.

"You are?" I smiled a tad, trying to send me a look that screamed, don't worry. But he's a dad. He's just looking out for her.

"Yup. I got asked yesterday to go. So, why not?" Bianca and Chastity jumped up and down, giving me big hugs. I just grinned. I guess if they're happy, then sure. Kat looked at me, giving me a sorry look, then walked into the kitchen. I told Patrick to come to this house. I swear I'm never at my own. With mom working nights, it's always lonely.

But surprisingly, I talked Kat into coming anyway. I told her she didn't have to come with anybody. And she was actually fine with it. Even Bianca was surprised. I looked at their dad, seeing a look on his face that clearly was a look that meant, oh no.

"It's starting."I couldn't help but smile a little in humor. He was about ready to bust.

"It's just a party daddy!" Bianca is always so cherry. I don't get how. If I could channel that kind of energy, that would be amazing.

"I want you to wear the belly." Come again?? The belly?? What the hell is that....? Maybe I don't want to know.

"Daddy no.." And from Bianca's face, I could tell it was probably something absolutely humiliating.

"Not all night. Just around the living room for a minute so you can understand the full weight of your decisions." I looked behind them at Kat. She was trying so hard not to laugh, while Bianca held out her arms, a look on her face that said kill me now. I completely zoned out of the rest of the conversation for the most part.

He gave us a list of all sorts of things not to do. Of course. I went to the door, not being able to wait to leave. I opened it, seeing Patrick standing there. Finally!

"9:30 right?" I smiled as he grinned ear from ear. He seemed genuinely happy. Maybe I don't have anything to worry about after all.

"Yup." He looked over my shoulder a tad with a funny look on his face as I laughed a little.

"I know I'm a little early." And that's okay because I'm beyond ready to escape this house. Too much is happening and i don't suddenly want to be dragged into it.

"Honestly, you couldn't have come at a better time." I walked out, heading towards his truck in a rush before someone could stop me. But poor Patrick was just all confused from how Bianca looked. It was hilarious.

"Who knocked up her?" I looked back, seeing him looking at Bianca still, and I couldn't help but laugh even more.

"Don't even ask about that." He grinned.

We got to Bogey's party and people were everywhere. And Bogey was going around telling people not to touch anything, basically freaking out. Yup. He had no clue about this. No surprise there.  Patrick and I headed upstairs, seeing as there was more room up there. I can handle that. Trust me.

"Kiss me!" I turned around, to see this girl basically attach herself to him with my eyes wide as Patrick seemed so annoyed but also didn't even know what to freakin do. But this guy finally came walking by as he shoved her to him, a sigh of relief leaving Patrick's mouth.
