A Baby For Kydd

•••

Wednesday seemed so far away. And Kydd was dying of anticipation of her date. She layed down in bed working on her history homework. When she heard a familiar voice downstairs.
She got up.

" DADDY!! "
The tall man, in the military uniform turned around just as Kydd jumped up into his arms. So what if she was sixteen soon to be seventeen in a couple of months.
She was still a daddy's little girl.
" Hey princess! "
As they celebrated their father's return. Kydd compilated if she's should ask about Wednesday after school. Finally after it was just her mom and dad alone in the kitchen she asked.
" Hey mom, dad.. "
Her parents looked at her.
" So, today I got asked out by a guy. Wednesday after school."
She said it fast hoping they would have heard it wrong and just say yes.
" A boy? "
Her father's voice was shocked.
" Sweetie, you've only been at this school for three days how well do you know this guy? Don't tell me you lied to me about Saturday?! "
" Mom! No. And well it's true I just met him but please mom. "
Her mother looked at her. And then looked at her father.
" What do you think dear? "
Her father took a deep breath.
" I think it's time for me to clean my gun. "
Both of her parents laughed.
" Oh my God! "
Her mother snapped.
" Watch your mouth young lady! "
" Sorry, mom.. So can I go? "
After a brief moment.
" Yes, where do we need to drop you off? "
Kydd bit her lip a bit.
" Well the thing is he's was going to drive us after school. And then bring me home. "
Her parents gave each other looks before her dad spoke.
" I want his full name and phone number. And you wear your seatbelt. No texting and driving. No alcohol either.
Do you understand young lady? "
She shook her head and hugged them both.
The easy part was over now to the hard part what to wear.

Tuesday went by so slowly.
She Just wished it would hurry up and be Wednesday after school.
But here she was in math class texting Cobain.
They hadn't stopped texting since Monday morning.
He was so cute. Always telling her goodnight or good morning. They would talk a bit on the phone. Unless he was at work.
She learned he worked at a auto shop. Where he fixed cars. And that he wanted to be a professional race car driver. He had a 2013 Chevy Camaro. In his favorite color, white.
During gym on Tuesday they walked and talked during PE. It was hot, and Kydd felt less than sexy. But Cobain assured her she was always beautiful. It made her blush and he smiled.
" I think it's adorable when you blush. "
Kydd laughed a bit.
As they passed Taylor she could see her face. She was pouting with her arms crossed across her chest. And scoffed loudly as they walked away.

Kydd felt horrible for liking Cobain. But she couldn't help it. He was so sweet and cute. As she got to know him more she convinced herself that it must have been Taylor's fault that they broke up. She could be a little demanding and rude at times.

" Wait.. "
They both stopped walking.
" What's wrong? "
He leaned forward Her.
" You have an eyelash..right here.. "
He touched her face softly.
" Make a wish and blow.. "
Before she could make a wish.
Taylor yelled towards them.
" Bitch! Fucking Asshole! "
And she stormed off crying.

That night as she got ready for bed Kydd thought to herself. Could Taylor really been that mad? It's not she stole him away. She clearly hates him. And he didn't say anything mean about her. Why was she so angry.
She thought about it a bit more but decided not to worry to much she was way to excited about tomorrow afternoon. She put on her music and drifted off to sleep. Only a couple more hours and she would be on her very first date with Cobain. Well her first date ever.

" MOM! "
Kydd yelled from her bedroom.
" MOM!! MO-! "
Her mother appeared at the door.
" What?! "
Kydd turned and pointed to her forehead.
" Look! "
Rigjt there on the right side of her forehead was a huge pimple.
" How can I go on my date with this tagging along. "
Her mother started laughing.
" Honey. One it isn't that big. Two if he truly cares about you he won't notice it. But put this on it. "
Her mother popped it and put toothpaste and a bandaid on it.
" Mom! I can't go to school like this! "
Her mom patted her head.
" Keep it on and at lunch wash your entire face with this."
She handed her a tube of soap for acne.
" You'll be fine. Remember the rules. Have fun be safe and get ready for school. You have a big today."
