The Perfect Catch

Chapter 6

After finally making it back home, I plug my phone in to charge before I have to leave for the game. I go back downstairs and goes into the kitchen, I look into the fridge for something to eat. Josh always picks on me for eating so much, but that doesn't stop me. I'm a growing girl, I have got to eat. I pull out a bowl of fruit and eats a couple pieces as I walk around the house to find my dad. He is no where to be found. I look out the window and sees his car in the driveway, so he is home. I go upstairs to his room and knocks on the door before poking my head in. 

"Hey dad?",  I call. I walk in his room,but I don't see him in here. I sigh and put my hands on my hips. Huh, where is he?

I turn to leave, but sees something under the bed. I go over there and reaches under and pulls out the box. I look at the box in my hands, turning it over and shaking it to figure out whats inside. I carefully open the box and looks inside. 

"Oh my gosh!", I squeal and jump up and down. I take everything out and looks through it. My parents are the best, how could they not have told me yet? I hear a knock at the door and someone clear their throat and I gulp as I turn around. 

"Oh hi, daddy", I smile innocently at him as I try to hide the box.

He shakes his head as he watches me, "Sweetie, you aren't five anymore, that face is no longer cute". My mouth drops open and he laughs at my expression. " I'm just kidding, sweetheart. I see you found the surprise that I was going to share tonight at dinner". 

I smile sheepishly and nod, "Yeah I'm sorry, I was looking for you and found this".

He shrugs and looks at the box then at me, "Its okay, it was getting hard to keep it a secret, so I'm glad someone knows, but I need youth keep it a secret for me".

"Of course I can!", I smile and kisses his cheek, "Thanks dad!"

I put the box away and turns to leave, then stops at the door, "Oh yeah we are leaving for the game soon, just be ready".

He smiles and nods, "Yes ma'am". I smile and walk back to my room. I plop down on my bed and closes my eyes as I relax. My bed is so soft, its definitely m best friend, but don't tell Hunter that, he will get jealous. I laugh to myself at my train of thought. I grab my phone and notice that I have 5 unread messages from Hunter.

Hunter:

Hey, where are you?

Becs, you still riding with me?

Yo, Becs! Lets go!

Okay fine I'm leaving in 5 seconds.

I'm leaving, you better have a good excuse for not answering me :|

I shake my head at his obvious concern for my well being.

Me:

Sorry my phone died, thanks for leaving me. I had to walk home. :(

Hunter:

Oh well, you needed to walk. Especially with all the food you eat. (; Jk with ya Becs. You are beautiful 

I roll my eyes at his reply. 

Me:

Ha Ha very funny. You are one to talk :p Dad and I are leaving soon to come watch you play. I'll see you at the field

Hunter:

Can't wait, love ya

I smile as I read his text and reply with "I love you too". I toss my phone aside and get up out of bed. I go into the bathroom to fix my hair and touch up my small amount of make-up. Feeling satisfied with my appearance, I grab my black jacket and head downstairs to wait for my dad to leave.
