Clueless

Chapter Eight Part One.

*Ashley and Deidra in MM*
(Pronounced DEE-DRUH)

*Joy POV*

"Thanks for breakfast and dinner Ms.Marie" I said as we all sat at the table. "No problem Joll- Joy" she said. I could've sworn she was about to say my mom's name.
"Delano, are you going to meet up with her today? " Faith asked. Jay was still in the shower, so me and Faith saved him a plate of food. "Yeah, but I think I want to see her alone though, I wanted to talk to her strictly about Deidra" he said. I didn't believe it for one minute.
"Lono shut up, we coming whether you like it or not" I bit into a crispy piece of turkey bacon.
"I don't know what ya talking about but-"
"Mommm, no advice. Not yet" Faith said and Ms. Marie held up her hands. "Okay okay, can I at least know-"
"No" Faith says cutting her off. Ms. Maries always in somebody business, and always giving them (sometimes uneccessary) advice about it. But I think me and Faith got this covered.
"I'll tell you later mom, I promise" Delano said, kissing her cheek. "But we need to go, Joy has school, Faith has a modeling shoot, I have football practice, and Jay had work" Delano rose from the table and started to get ready. Ms. Marie already packed up my dinner like I asked her, so I went to put it in my tote. "Faith, can you-"
"Yes, at 4 right?" Faith said. Since I'm going to be dropped off at school and I don't have my car, I will need a pick up.
"Jay, where do you work?" Mr. Eric asked.
"I work front desk at a clinic. I'm going to school online to become a psychiatrist." Jay answered.
"Very nice. Come back sometime, so we could talk more" my dad said, shaking my boyfriend's hand.
"Take care, and drive safe on these roads" my mom told everyone. We said our good byes and drove off.

*Delano POV*

I'm sitting at the restaurant, waiting for Ashley. I begged and begged Faith and Joy not to come. They say they weren't and I was holding them to that.
Ashley was 10 minutes late, and she wasn't answering any of my calls.
"Would you like to order now? Or would you like to wait for your date" the waitress asked. From her body language and the way she's licking her lips, I could tell she was interested. "I would have a cup of water" I told her. She wasn't bad looking, a cute Asian girl with red hair and in her all black uniform. "Coming right up" she said and she swayed her hips away from me, knowing I'd watch.
I stretched and tried calling Ashley again.
"You have reached the voicemail box of-"
" Delano?" I saw Ashley arrive with Deidra in a full soccer uniform. "Mr. Delano!" She cheered and she gave me a hug. "Hey Dee, wow, I didn't know you were coming" I said, looking at Ashley, who had sunglasses and a red fitted dress on her. "Sorry I'm late, I asked Derrick to babysit her but he's... busy..." she said. I nodded and got up to pull out her chair for her to sit. She said thank you and the waitress came back with my water. "Thank you" I flashed my grin at her.
"Anything else you want?" She asked, paying no mind to Ashley.
"Um, yes, I would like a seafood medley" I said and she wrote it down. "And how about this little cutie here, this is your daughter?" She asked. "She looks just like you" and I saw Ashley smirk and it fell into a frown.
"Do you have chicken fingers?" She asked and the waitress said no. " would you like chicken with cheese and spaghetti?" She asked, describing a chicken Parm. Deidra nodded her head and the waitress wrote it down.
"Is that all sir?" She asked, still ignoring Ashley.
Ashley scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Ashley, what so you want?" I asked her politely. "Can you tell the waitress that I would like a shrimp and pasta?" She told me. The waitress rolled her eyes, and went back to place our orders.
"Mommy, can I color?" Deidra asked and Ashley went in her bag and gave her a coloring book and some crayons. "Would you like your headphones and ipod too?" Ashley asked and Deidra nodded. "Thank you mommy, and thank you Mr. Delano" she said and I asked her for what. "For taking mommy out, she always wanted to come here."
