The Stepsister

Chapter III

After lunch with the girls, I went to my last class and then went home.

It was peaceful when I got home. My dad hadn't arrived from work yet, so I decided to get started with my homework before I get distracted with whatever is on TV.

My afternoon so far has been boring... So I decided to go out, maybe buy some new clothes or something like that, I also had to go do the groceries, because we were missing some stuff at the house.

I went to my black volvo and started my ride to the supermarket, dad had left money for the groceries.

As I arrived at the shop, I parked my car, got my bag, and made my way to the establishment. I was walking through the snacks aisle when I heard a familiar voice "I know it's too soon for you to meet her yet, because let's be honest we've only had like five dates, but I'm anxious for the day you'll get to meet my little one,  she's very nice and I'm very proud of my girl!"  Yeah....I think that's my father's voice... I don't want to be nosy, but I'd sure like to know who he's talking to about me.... Stopp Lauren, your father deserves his privacy!

So I went on with the shopping until I'd checked all the items in my groceries list and made my way to the cashier. That's when I noticed the employer, I knew that face, and I was not happy to see it...

"Hey Lauren, nice to see you here!" he said, smiling at me

"Hello, Keaton." I answered politely

"Again, I'm so very sorry about what happened this morning. If there's any way I could make it up to you, maybe buy you some coffee?"  he asked with a small smirk on his face. Dude, not gonna happen...

"I already told you that it was OK, and there's no need to make it up to me,"  I said smiling, I had to be nice, he DID apologise...

"You sure, cause I'd love to take you out for some coffee"  he proposed hopefully

"Keaton, I appreciate your offer, but I'm not up for dating, sorry." After my mom died, I haven't dated anyone, I just can't...

"Oh, okay..."  he said with a sad face "That'll be 150$"

"Here you go, have a nice day."  I smiled at him before I made my way out of the shop

As I was driving home, I couldn't stop thinking about my father. Who was he talking to?  Was it a woman?  Of course, it was a women, he said that they had been to five dates... Wait!  Five dates?? How come he only told me about one, that was last night? That doesn't matter, because he has had FIVE fucking dates, finally, the man deserves to be happy...
But wait, who is she, I have to meet her! 

A dog running in the middle of the road made me get out of my thoughts and back to reality.

After almost running over a dog I made my home safely and the only thing in my mind was I have to meet this lady!
*
A week passed by and I still didn't know who was the woman at the supermarket, but my father had opened up to me and said he was dating someone from his work, I didn't necessarily grew fond of this lady, because my dad is the boss at work.

After my mom passed away, my dad rename the computer and electronics company to Morgado&Jauregui I'll sure be mad if this woman comes and changes that, but I don't want to make assumptions, so I'll wait until my dad decides to invite her for a "family dinner".

"Dad, when am I going to meet this lovely woman that you have been talking about, non stop, for over a week now?" 

"Honey, it's way to soon for that, I have to make sure she is the right one, then I'll arrange a meeting" he answered, smiling softly at me

This is so frustrating, I want to know who is she... "Can you at least tell me her name?" I maid my puppy eyes at him, he could not say no to that face...
"Ugh...Fine, her name is... Cabello and that's all you get to know, now go to your room because tomorrow it's a school day!" he said sternly

"I thought you'd give me her first name" I pouted "see you tomorrow, I love you" I said, giving him a kiss before going to my room.

Cabello.... Where did I heard that before....
