Smart Ass

Chapter 4 ~ Love At First Sight

"Goal!!!"

I shouted as i scored against my dad playing fifa with him on his ps3...i wonder what fifa actually means. Most people think its weird i can play fifa as a girl, others just think its awesome.

My dad's a video game person, he plays games alot, he's taught me from when i could say 'da-da' to play video games. Grandma calls it his childish part he refuses to drop.

Grandma had gone to bed early today...she took some drugs which would make her sleep for like the next 12 hours undisturbed...i seriously need those drugs.

"Oh princess, i let you win"

"Sure dad...whatever makes you sleep at night" I said as i jumped over the couch and walked to the kitchen to get myself a drink.

"Hey! I want a rematch...where are you going?"

"To get a drink...winning makes me thirsty" I said in a mocking tone. There were very few times i beat my dad at his games especially football so i have to REALLY enjoy this victory and rub it in his face.

"You mean when people let you win..."

"Are we really still on this? I won!" I said sticking out my tongue at him. "Fair and square...so accept defeat!"

"Well, I--"

Dad was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Who's that?"

"Well, I can't see through the door dad..." I said giggling as I walked to the door. We were not expecting anyone this evening. Oh maybe Vanessa left something here.

"Oh...maybe its kevin!" Dad said with his eyes lighting up. Since dad and kevin played video games two nights ago and went to get some burgers yesterday afternoon they had become bff's. Which is just hundred levels weird! Well...so is my dad and kevin. *hypothetical sigh*

Pls don't be kevin.

Pls don't be kevin.

Pls don't be kevin.

I said in my mind closing my eyes as I opened the door.

"Hey uhm...Jennifer right?" I heard a faintly familiar voice say.

And i opened my eyes...oh yeah, the downstairs neighbour looking all pretty with her blonde hair in a messy pony tail and a blue dress i think I'm jealous of and she had this mouth watering pie in her hands. If she made that pie i need her recipe ASAP. Gosh i don't even remember her name.

"Oh hi! I've been expecting you!" No i wasn't. I completely forgot she existed. I turned as I felt my dad's presence behind me.

"Princess who's--" He stopped as he saw uhm...whats her name again??

"Charles" she gasped and dropped the pie but someone caught it. Thats when i noticed she had a kid with her which couldn't be more than eight.

Wait. What's with the silence and tension. I looked up at my dad and he was just staring at her.

"Christine! Oh my God...you look different" He said, side stepping me observing her.

He finally snapped out of his trance and dragged her in for a hug. A hug that probably lasted a lifetime.

"Uuuhh...dad?" I said so he'd come back to reality.

"Oh where are my manners? Come in."

She and the kid came in and dad shut the door and they were still staring at each other all googly eyed.

I fake coughed loud enough for them to hear.

"Oh...princess this is Christine" Dad said as he turned to me and he turned back to her and looked downwards to the child. "And i take it this is your son"
