How it crumbles

Meeting the parents

As we started back from the football field, Mike was holding the ball and was walking in front of me and Bailey.

"You've never played lacrosse?" I asked her shocked.

"Never a day in my life." She said smiling at me.

"Its the greatest sport ever!" I shouted. Mike only being a few steps ahead agreed by throwing his hands up.

"DAMN RIGHT!" He yelled and I laughed.

"Mike did you grab any of our money?" I asked him

"Pizza or burgers?" He asked me and I looked at Bailey.

"Pizza?" She smiled and looked

"Of course." I say. She giggled and looked at Mike.

"Hey Mike, Would you go ahead and place the order for a pizza? I want to stop at my house and get a change of clothes." She asked innocently.

"Uhm, yeah sure, Cmon Jon come with me." Mike said.

"No! I need him...To walk me... What if Derrick comes after me?" She said nervously.

"Uhm... Sure. Ill meet you there" I told him and Bailey ripped my arm in the opposite direction. Once we got out of ear shot of Mike, She stopped in front of me and looked at me.

"What?"I asked her confused. She stepped closer and placed her lips upon mine. We held for a few seconds before she pulled away and sighing.

"Oh my god..." She sighed with a smile. I blushed at her.

"W-what..was that for?" I managed to say.

"It was... for me..." She said confidently then looked at me.

"Theres something I want to show you." l looked at her and nodded before she nearly ripped my arm off pulling me towards her house which wasn't far from where we were.

"Bailey I don't think it's ok for me to come in. I mean you did just spend the night with me... Your parents wont like me either." I said in hopes I wouldn't have to go in.

"Please.. I just want to introduce you." She looked at me. Pouting.

"Fine... Only because your adorable." I blushed at my own comment but then as I was about to say something she kissed me. I closed my eyes and kissed back. She pulled away tugging on my bottom lip gently.

"Ready?" She asked and I nodded and she pulled me inside and her parents were standing in the doorway to the stairs. She stopped and looked at them.

"Hello Mom... Daddy" A large man stood and he stepped towards me. I froze before he stuck his hand out and said

"Hey how are you. Im Chris, Bailey's father nice to meet you."

He said it in a welcoming tone. So I shook his hand and introduced myself.

"Jon. Im a friend of Baileys." she looked at me and hit me in the ribs and I smiled the fakest smile ever while tensing up from the pain. I let a soft sigh and her dad looked at me.

"You OK Jon?" He asked politely.

"Yeah I'll be ok." I looked at Bailey and whispered to her.

"You were Gunna get changed?" She nodded and scooted past her parents.

"Excuse me daddy." She slipped by him and they need at me.

"Wanna sit in the living room?" They offered.

"Yeah that's fine." They brought me to living room and sat me down.

"He hit her didn't he.." Her father asked. I was surprised and I nodded.

"I fought him... Barely" I smiled and we all laughed. She came down a few moments later and smiled at me with a dark blue backpack.

"Ready?" She asked I nodded shook Mr. Hearts hand again and we headed out the door.

"See that wasn't so bad was it?" She asked concerned.

"No actually it wasn't. Let's go eat." I say she kissed my cheek and asked for a piggy back ride.

She hopped on my back and we headed towards the pizza shop.
