Those Lips

Brandon's POV

I tried to call Kaia and tell her the good news, but she didn't pick up. Actually, she declined my call. I expected to get a call back, there never was one. Dad told me he'd be back in the morning. I don't know why I would believe him. He has never kept his promises in the past. I guess it's a good think she didn't pick up. Less disappointment for her. I love my dad, and all, but he can't keep promises or commitments...

***flashback***

"Hey dad?" I had just gotten home from my first day of 2nd grade, and I wanted a snack. I walked up the stairs into the living room. I guess he didn't hear me come in or say his name because there was a bleach blonde girl, that wasn't my mom, with no clothes on, on top of my dad. She didn't even stop when I walked in. She just kept going. Moaning. Screaming, and then I screamed.

"Holy fuck!" She yelled and tried to cover her boobs. "You didn't tell me you had kids! I suppose you have a wife, too, then!"

"Marie, come on, come back. Don't lie. You love the sex. You don't care where it comes from."

"You're right, unless there is proof that I was here. You better shit that kid up, and then maybe I'll come back."

"Fine with me, baby."

"Brandon, you can't tell mommy, okay?"

"Okay..."

"Thank you. I'll be back in a couple hours. If mommy asks. I got called into work.

He's never been there everyday. He didn't watch us grow up. He was too busy watching his weed grow, or doing any drugs he could get his hands on.

***flashback***

"Hey, dad?"

"Busy."

"With what?"

"Stuff. Go away."

"Okay..."

20 minutes later.

"Police! Open up!" And then there is a loud bang, and dad is gone in a matter of seconds. Even before the police are in the front door.

***end flashback***

Once again, left alone by my unavailable father. I guess I should be used to it by now, but for some reason I think it will get better.
