"This is the surprise... SUPRISE!" They yell in unisis.
*Back to Juliana's P.O.V*
"Wha-what is she doing here dad", still puzzled why she would be here. In our house. It must be some one special cause he looks happier than usual.
"She's my girlfriend. Say hi to her. She won't bite "
Dad has had many girlfriends after mom why was this one special and in our house? All these thoughts running through my mind and soon I get lost before Dad pulls me out my thought.
What's dinner he asks."Oh ahhh baked chicken, wedges, and Mac and cheese."
"Sounds good she" says,"smells even better."
I just look at her still wondering why she is so special..."I helped!!"
"She is soo cute"
I watch her approach Lia. I don't know something is up with her. Just can't put my finger on what it is."Yeah I know right." I grab her into my arms before she can touch her and giver her a tight hug.
I laugh at how she thought she was gonna come into here and touch my baby...Still not sure what to do with herself we all stood there in silence. I haven't put Lia down yet. I don't want that lady touching my baby. I DONT EVEN KNOW HER NAME ANS SHE IS TRYING TO TOUCH HER. I need to calm down I don't know why I was getting so upset about her injusy have a bad feeling.
"So whose ready for dinner" I finally break the silence.
"Meee" Lia says
"How can I help" she says.
I just give her a glare already knowing my face is showing how I feel about her.... I calm myself not trying to show what ticks me off about her."You can just sit on the couch." I say maybe a little to harshly.
"I'll bring it to you, Hey little chef want to help serve your dish""Oooh yes yes yes yes yes" she squeals
She really is adorable.From the kitchen I get a better look at her. She was kinda pretty.. I guess. She has grayish kinda greenish color eyes. Olive skin. She must be some kind of mix like alittle white gave her her long kinda straight hair but she must be some kind of Spanish cause she has wavy hair and she is kinda thick and has an accent I've never heard before. She has a nice face but she had wrinkles like my father but she is young like him. That's what it must be. I knew I could tell something is up with her. Know I know she won't last long around us just like the others maybe a few months not weeks. But I won't allow her around Lia she is like my father. I already don't like her.
"Thank you Juliana *how did she know my name... I never told her* and thank you to you to little chef it's really yummy
"Thanks Lia and Julia its really good"
"Welcome dad"
"Welcome daddy"I let Lia watch TV in our room till it was 8:30 so she could get a good rest for school tomorrow.
While she is zoned out like a Zombie to the TV I listen to their conversation in the living room area."I don't think she likes me likes me Victor"
"Lori baby she is just very protective over Lia she is like her mother and you are a new woman in her life"
"I guess so... Let me get up out of here its getting late. I'll send you later babes."
"Bye"
I hear them exchange a couple sloppy kisses before she walks out the door.
