The Switch Up

Chapter 12

"Megan wake up" I heard from the outside of my door right away I knew it was Dad. I got up after minutes & minutes of tossing & turning. I'm actually really excited to have daughter - father time but I have no idea where were going dad says it's a surprise. I get dressed which wasn't easy I didn't know if we were going to a place that I needed to dress fancy or a place that we are doing physical activities. I winded up wear blue denim shorts and my Cameron Dallas sweatshirt that mom gave me for Christmas. I finished dressing & decided not to wear makeup because I wanted dad to see me as his little girl before I started wearing makeup instead of his young lady. I went to the kitchen hoping to see Linda making breakfast but their was nobody In the kitchen not even dad. "Dad!" I yelled out loud in the kitchen, he came down the stairs with his car keys in his hands & said, "Let's go." And we were off we stopped by The Lockhart to eat breakfast apparently it's the best breakfast place in town. Once we were there we ordered the Waffle & Chicken at first I was rebuffed to try it but dad said it was really good. So I tried it trusting in him to taste good but once I put it in my mouth I spit it out so fast it was repulsive, I don't even know how to describe it was like the chicken was savory & the syrup was too sweet for it the combination was awful. But dad really enjoyed it, instead I ordered the English muffin with eggs, bacon & sausage it was 100% way better than the Waffle & Chicken. Once we were finished our Breakfast we were off to someplace else he still didn't tell me where we were going. We pulled up to this average size parking lot & went inside we are at a bowling alley. I couldn't believe it dad hates bowling, "I though you hate bowling?" I ask him smiling. "I only hated it because I was terrible at it, but ever since I moved her I've been learning & I'm pretty good at it. I even sign up to be in a tournament today with you." He replies answering my question. I really wasn't ready for this but it'll be fun I always have fun bowling, I used to do it all the time with my friends before they moved. Dad had everything prepared he had our outfits which were jumpsuits with the word Daughter on mine & Father on his it was pretty cute. Then we had our matching bowling shoes that match our jumpsuits also our bowling balls which were blue, red, black & white. We practiced for about an hour, I was really rusty my ball was always going onto the sides but the more I got into it I was pretty good. Eventually the time passed by & it was time to start the tournament. Since this weeks team is Father & Daughter there was only the daughters competing against each other. I won out of my pool & I eventually made it to finals but lost I was only 5 points away from her. At first I was mad but then I realize I did really good it was my first time bowling in a very long time plus I made it to finals I was impressed. We toke an hour break before it was the dads turn we drank lemonade & ate pizza & dad was practicing some more than it was time. Dad was up he was versing a father who looked way older than him like not to be rude he looked like he was a grandfather he even had wrinkles. But when he swung his arm & let go of the bowling ball it was very force fulled & fast he got a spare. Then it was dad's turn it didn't go well he lost. That was it he didn't make it to the finals, I for sure though he would make it when he was practicing he mostly got strike's he was so good but when it came to the real deal he was terrible. We didn't stay to watch who won because what's the point. We left but we were not going home we went to the beauty salon. I got a manicure & pedicure while dad was getting a foot scrub, it was so relaxing & my finger & toenails were absolutely beautiful I had a French manicure with black tips to match every outfit. After that we got Chinese take out to bring back home for everyone. When we got back home I thanked dad for the fun I had today I actually really enjoyed it. Then I went to my room to change into my comfy clothes which was sweats & a tank top & texted Brooklyn saying, back from the day out with my dad. He didn't text back immediately like I thought he would I guess he went out as well. I walk to the kitchen only to find Donavon peeking at all the take out containers I asked laughing, "looking for something specific?" He didn't say anything back he just walked away I caught up to him & stood in front of him & said, "Ok, we need to talk I hate this awkwardness between us." "We don't need to talk it's not awkward between us." He says while going around me upstairs. I waited for everyone before beginning to eat because Linda believes a family that eats together stays together, to late for that. As usual I was sitting next to Donavan it was so awkward when I have to ask him to pass the salt or soy sauce how does he not think this is awkward he's just lying to avoid talking to me. "How was the bowling?" Linda asked. "It was a tournament & it was awesome but dad didn't do so well he didn't make it pass his first pool. But I on the other hand did amazing if I don't say so my self I was runner up out of all the daughters." I said while flipping my hair with my back hand. "Wow! Congratulations so you're a bowler?" She asks. "I supposed you could say that." I reply laughing. Then as usual the rest of everyone shared about their day I didn't pay much attention I just wanted to go back to my room & check if Brooklyn texted me back. After everyone was finished & went their own ways I ran to my room. I grabbed my phone that was on my bed & checked my texts & sure enough there was one text from that special someone it read, How was it? I replied back saying It was really fun we went bowling & got pampered lol. He said, That's good to hear & you're father got pampered? I replied, Well it was mostly me I got my nails done for the soccer game tomorrow & my dad just got a foot scrub you should try getting one. He replied back, Are you excited for tomorrow? I said, yeah I hope it's fun, so I can wear whatever I want you said? That's correct I'm bringing uniforms for you he replies. When are you picking me up? I ask. At noon, I'll pick you up but then we head to my house then leave. He says. I reply saying, Sounds good. Then we texted for about another hour until I fell asleep.
