"Hey Dad, what's up?" I ask, dropping my bag on the floor and assessing my fathers current attire. He is wearing a blazer and trousers and is looking pretty formal for a random 6 o'clock chill in the kitchen. "Oooh, you look snazzy. Where're you going?"

he chuckles. "Woah Jess, slow down. um, first of all, I am good. I am great. fantastic. thanks for the compliment, hon, and, where I'm going is a matter that we shall discuss right now. how are you, my dear daughter?" I give him a weird look. "I'm good. what're we discussing?"

he clears his throat. "Well. In about 10 minutes," he says, checking his watch, "I am going on a date." he says, nervously watching me. I jump up. "Dad!" I yell. He winces. "This is so great!" I laugh, hugging him. "Who is she? Oh, Dad, I am so happy for you." he looks very taken aback. "Uh, wha- she's recently taken a position at the office across the road from work and we keep bumping into each other because we go to the same coffee shop at the same time and get the same coffee and well she's very nice I think you'll like her and Jess are you sure you're okay with this?"

"Dad, it's fine. Totally fine. I'm happy for you. What's her name?"

"Her name is Chelsea." he says as we hear a knock on the door. "That would be her." he says, looking nervous and straightening his jacket.

he motions for me to walk to the door with him. I stand slightly behind him as he opens it.

"Hi, Chelsea. It's nice to see you. You look stunning." He greets her. I smile, stepping forward to get a better look as she greets him. "oh hi, hi, Graham. you too. I mean, you don't look stunning- well, you do, but- you look nice too." She gets out. Her eyes flicker to me nervously. "This is my daughter, Jess." I smile at her. she extends her hand. "Hello, Jess. I'm Chelsea. it's nice to meet you." she smiles. She looks like Monica from FRIENDS. she's gorgeous. "Hi Chelsea. same to you." I shake her hand. "how old are you?" she questions softly as Dad goes to retrieve his phone. "17." I smile. "Wow." she breathes. "You're much older than I expected."

"Yeah, I was born when my Dad was young though." I laugh. "I hope you guys have a good time." I add as Dad appears again. She blushes and smiles gratefully. "Thank you."

I pat Dad on the back, pushing him forward a bit. "I approve. good luck." I say quietly in his ear. he grins at me. "Well, goodbye." I smile. "have a lovely night."

I pass the rest of the night by finishing the Christmas decorating that me and Dad had started earlier before I went to see the Brooks. When Dad comes home, late, I kiss him goodnight as he trudges into his room and I continue my blogging, talking to a girl from Switzerland. suddenly my phone screams Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles and I slide my thumb across the screen quickly so as to not wake Dad.

"Comprendo." I answer.

"what does that mean?"

"I don't know. it sounds cool though."

"of course. anyway, do you wanna come over?"

"Luke," I admonish. "I was over there not even 5 hours ago." I slip my uggs onto my feet and grab my keys, deciding not to walk seeing as it's 11:42pm.

"I know. But I miss you. And I'm cold. and lonely. please can you come over?"

"Clingy." I breathe mockingly.

"Fine, don't come."

"Fuck off! I'm basically there!" I say as I scrawl a note to Dad to let him know that I was probably not going to be home until tomorrow.

Luke scoffs. "Sure. You're probably still in bed."

"I am not, you twat."

"Twat is an ugly word."

"Suits an ugly boy."

"What is it with the insults?"

"How else am I supposed to express my love for you?" I grin as I get into my car.

"How about, 'I love you Luke.'"

"Oh and what else? you're the greatest person in the world?"

"Sure, that'd be good."

"What about, 'fuck me now Luke.'" I say lowly. He groans.

"Jess.."

"Hm?" I say innocently.

"Don't."

"Ooh, somebody's grumpy."

"Shut up." he says. I can hear the pained smile in his voice. I gasp, mockingly offended.

"Oh, Luke. Mm." I moan seductively. Revenge is a bitch.

"JESS. SERIOUSLY."

"Mmm, oh Luke, harder!" I laugh. There's silence on the other end. I quietly chuckle as I enter his house, the phone still glued to my ear as I throw a blanket over a sleeping Jai on the couch. "Where are you?" I whisper into the phone. "My room, genius." he whispers back. I hang up and walk into his room, chucking my shoes off onto the floor. I smile, seeing him all tucked in and smiling at me sleepily. "Come here." he sticks his hands my way and grabs the air like a baby. I walk forward into his arms. "Okay, but no funnies, right?" I say. he groans. "Jess, you can't just be really sexual to me and expect me to not make a move on you." I frown and slide into his bed. he grins and pulls his shirt off. "Luke!"

"What?"

"No!"

he laughs. "I'm just taking my shirt off. It's hot." but his words are lost on me as I drown in the glory of his toplessness.

And my own drool.

"So," he says, kissing my neck. "I missed you." I scoff and place my hands on his delicious chest and let him trail his lips up to mine. Before he can kiss me I duck my head. "I literally left for like 5 hours how can that be." I say. He moans. "God, I can't help it. I love you too much. Can we just get married and leave this place?" he whispers.

"and travel and kiss each other all the time, yes." I reply.

"and have little babies and grow up and learn things?"

"and go to see our favourite bands and become accomplished and grow old together,"

"please? I can't wait for all that, let's just begin now." He says. I bite my lip. "Yes, yes, yes all of that, yes. I love you so much." I smile and pause. "are you trying to seduce me?" I question. he grins. "No. Is it working?" i laugh and lower my lips to his. He kisses me back feverishly, and tries to put his hands all over me. I circle my fingers around his wrists. "Luke, stop. Not tonight." I whisper. he slips his hand under my shirt and I gently push him away as he sucks on my neck. "I'm serious Luke," I say, breathing heavily. his hands creep upwards and I slap them away. "LUKE. I told you, not tonight." I say. "But Jess..." he groans, tugging on my thin singlet. I slide out of bed, standing up and crossing my arms. "I'll seriously go sleep in another room," I say softly. "Oh, why not?" he says, sitting up. "Why don't you go and have some fun with Beau, huh? Seems you quite enjoy that." he says harshly, his words pushing his anger and frustration towards me. I lower my eyes so he can't see the hurt and shame and tears glistening there. "Th-that happened once and I didn't provoke it-" I say, my voice breaking. I make the mistake of looking up and meeting his eyes with mine as his soften. I quickly whip around and rush out of the room, out of the house and into the safety of my car. I lock the doors and put the car into drive as my eyes flicker to the front door of the house, swinging behind him as he stands there looking lost and watching me drive away.
