California Kisses

California Kisses - Chapter 3

This home was anything but ordinary.  It was placed on a beautiful landscape overlooking the ocean with so much nature all around it.  The home was only 2 storeys high but it was so wide that it was difficult to see the end of it.  It was all basically glass giving it a beautiful view, (well hopefully most of the time when it's not raining like heck,) and had a large deck coming out into the beach, and might I add - a private beach!

"So... this is your house?" I asked.

"Well it sure is! And now yours too, I'll give you the keys when we get inside and then it will be all official!" She replied with a smile crossing her whole face.

The problem here was that I might have been actually starting to like this women.  Well sure she did take my dad away from me and might only be an issue but it wasn't like she was ever rude to me.  I could tell that she was really starting to put an effort into this relationship, especially since id be staying with her for about a year.  

She slides open the back door and then a rat comes running towards us. 

"Oh my God, what is that?!" I scream.

"Oh don't be afraid," she said in the calmest voice, "that's only Maya, my little pup! She is very energetic as you can probably tell and she won't bit."

I exhale with relief.  That was no dog  was seeing, anything but a dog.

"She's all wet from the rain, she must've just gone outside.  That's probably why she startled you so suddenly!" she said. "Your father must be home, or that might've been Stacy."

I completely froze at this point.  Stacy? Who was this Stacy!  If this was her daughter I think I would blow up into  thousand pieces.  Having a 'sister' here in California was not part of the deal.  This was a chance for me and my father to bond -- alone.  Plus, I was probably going to hate her anyways, isn't that what always ends up happening in these types of situations? 

Just then, footsteps were heard walking down the stairs.   stood there, completely silent wishing that it was only my father, no more surprises or disappointments but I was wrong.  'Little Miss Perfect' had arrived welcoming me with a snobby smile.

"Okay, so this is Stacy my daughter, she's 16 just like you and this is Ashley, Andrew's daughter." Sophie said as she looked back and forth from me to Stacy.

"Hey, it is nice to m..."

"Okay, okay, I get that you want to be sweet and all.  But I have much more important things to do." She said looking at me and then turned to face her mother, " I am going over to Alex's house for the night."

"Ok sweetie," said Sophie, " be safe and be sure to use a condom!" she yelled as Stacy shut the door behind her.

Oh my gosh, did I seriously just witness that.  For a quick second I actually thought that this woman was normal but now here she is basically telling her daughter to have sex with some Alex dude.  If I did anything like that, no wait, if I even spent the night with a boy, my mother would kick me out of the house...literally. I guess there were no rules here.  Plus, this Stacy was just such a bitch.   She was your typical bully in high school, you know, long blonde hair, hazel eyes with a button nose.  This girl looked the part perfectly. 

"Anyways," Sophie said interrupting my thoughts, "I'll take you to your rooms"

Wait did she just say 'rooms', as in plural, as in more than one room!? Maybe this situation wasn't so impossible after all.
