The Guy I Met At CVS

Chapter 13

"Ladies and motherfuckin gentlebitchezzzzzzzzz!'' she started to laugh and couldn't hold it in. "Okay I was trying to be serious but I can't. I'm too damnnn happy. Mark and I made up. He came over tonight and we talked and...." she trailed off before she could say the intimate things they did and immediately changed it to "and he invited me over for dinner tomorrow night which is a good sign." she smiled brightly then it started to fade. 'I dunno how I'm gonna tell him I'm leaving in a couple of weeks to go back to school though. I kinda don't wanna leave cause I know he's gonna pull some Mark bullshit and say that maybe we should breakup and all that crap cause I'm probably gonna meet someone and he doesn't want to hold me back. Mark's so obtuse sometimes. I'm gonna tell him on my birthday! yup yup yup. Birthday in T-Minus 10 days. Best birthday ever August 10th, can't touch that. Leo All Day Errrrrrr Day!!! All my leos shout it out who runs shit!!" she giggled "Lol. He tried to reprimand a sista for the way I drive. I drive like a boss. Flawless to the core. People wish they could drive as graceful as me. Anyways I gotta hit the hay because bitch's is going to Mark's manana for dinna like the bad bitch that I am. I have to work in the morning though which sucks so sorry to cut this so short. Molly Mallz Out Babes!!" she said throwing up two peace signs and sticking out her tongue before closing her laptop

Mark headed straight for the bathroom to shower before he got in bed. It helped him think. He knew his friends were right but he hated to admit it. His daughter was a lot like her mother strong-willed, blunt and too wise for her young age. 

He made a promise to himself that night that from now on that he would do what was best for him and Brilynne. Then he dressed and went to bed. 

***********************************************************************************

In the morning he walked out to the kitchen to find his friends sitting at the table eating breakfast while Brilynne got ready for school.

"Good morning." Mark said as he came to sit at the table

"Sup." Greg said with a head nod

"Goodmorning." Chris said smiling

"Hey" was all Luke could manage. He was still slightly peeved about the night before but he didn't want to push his friend. He picked up his bowl and slurped up his cereal quickly. "I gotta get going. I'll see you guys later. Tell Brilynne I said have a good day at school." he said as he put his bowl in the sink and was out the door before anyone could say anything

"He's still mad at me I see."

"He's not mad at you, just annoyed. He doesn't want you to ruin your chances with Molly. None of us do."

"Well I'm back with her."

"But for how long?" Greg snapped and Mark was about to respond when Brilynne entered the room. 

"You ready to go princess?"

"Yes daddy."

"Okay let me go grab my keys and we'll walk."

"No it's fine. I'll give her a ride, she's on my way." Greg said "Is that okay with you bug?"

"Duhh Uncle Greg! I'll see you later daddy." she said running up to him and kissing his forehead before leaving with Greg. That left Chris and Mark at the table.
