Dads

Unexpected

About a week later Emily and Chester went out for the third time, they went to see a movie. Even though Emily told Chester she wanted to pay as well he didn't let her. They had a good time and after they saw the film they went to a club and drank something. Around 11 pm Chester brought her home and went home himself. Emily went upstairs and made ready to go to bed but heard noises come from her fathers bedroom. At first she thought he was just snoring but then she heard a bit of a moan.
"My gosh.... dad..." Emily said and tried to ignore it, she lay down in bed but could not fall asleep because of the sounds, she got up and opened her father's bedroom door and turned on the lights
"Dad, be quiet, I'm trying to sleep!!" She said mad. Andy looked a bit shocked and quickly covered himself after getting of his partner
"Emily!..... this is not what it looks like."
"You promised me you would not be with an other woman!"
"I.....ehm..." Andy started but didn't know what to say. Emily then saw a head appear behind Andy, but it wasn't a woman.
"W-what's going on?" Emily asked, completely lost. Andy looked down.
"I tried to tell you before.... that.... I have a boyfriend."
"You're gay?"
"No.... I'm bisexual....."
"Why didn't you just tell me?!"
"...Let's talk about it in the morning."
"Do you really think I can sleep now?"
"Emily, please..."
"I'll be downstairs if you want to explain this to me."
"Emily!" Andy called but Emily already left and went downstairs. She grabbed a drink and sat on the couch, still shocked. A few minutes later andy and the other man came down. Andy sat down next to his daughter.
"Emily, I'm sorry you have to find out like this." He said.
"Why didn't you just tell me?"
"I wanted to.. but you were upset because I talked about your mother so I didn't think it would've been a good idea to tell you then."
"You had more then enough time to tell me after that."
"I know.... and again, I'm sorry."
There was a little silence.
"This might be a bit weird right now, but ik introduce myself. I'm Mikael, Mikael Jones, nice to meet you." Mikael said
"Nice to meet you too,  Michael"
"No, Mikael, the 'i' is short, like in Mitchell"
Emily nodded. "I recognize you.... weren't you two having dinner last week when I was out with chester?"
"Yes"
"So you are not his boss, I hope"
"No, we did meet at the company, but I don't work there." Mikael said.
"How long have you two been together?"
"I think... almost two months"
Emily looked at andy. "Seriously, dad, you have a boyfriend for almost two months and you didn't care to tell me?"
"I wanted to.... but can we do this tomorrow? It's late"
"Okay... but I want to be able to sleep, okay" Emily said.
"Yes, yes, of course. Good night, sweetheart."
"Night, dad. Night, Mikael." Emily said and walked upstairs.
"Night" Mikael said and he and Andy went back to bed too.

The next day Emily sat at the kitchen table, trying to eat her breakfast and making her lunch for school. When she put her plate on the counter Andy and Mikael came in.
"Morning." Andy said.
"Morning." Emily said a bit awkward.
"Morning." Mikael said too and they sat at the table while Emily went upstairs to make ready for school.
"I don't think she'll like me very much." Mikael said to Andy.
"Maybe at first, but I hope she will like you."
"me too."
"Maybe you can come over next week so you can properly meet her."
"Is that a good idea?"
"I don't know, I'll talk about it with her tonight."
Mikael nodded and they had breakfast. They made ready for work and the three of them got in the car. They dropped Emily of at school, then Andy dropped Mikael of before going to work himself. Emily walked to class and sat down in her usual spot to the side, a bit to the front. Even though she tried to pay attention she couldn't focus, and this time it wasn't because she was staring at her hot teacher but still because of last night. Her Teacher, Liam Sandson, was the hottest teacher in school. dark hair, blue eyes, a little bit of a beard and a smile that made a lot of girls almost faint. He was 'devilishly handsome' like he sometimes jokingly said. A lot of girls, and even some boys, got low marks for Math because they just drooled over their teacher and didn't pay attention to what he was saying. 
"Emily, could you solve this problem on the board?" He asked. Emily got up and walked to the board, quickly solved it and went back to her seat.
"That's correct." The teacher said and Emily was soon zoned out again. When the bell rang everyone packed their stuff but the teacher walked to Emily.
"Are you okay, Emily?" He asked. Emily looked up at him.
"Hm? oh, yes, I'm fine, Mr. Sandson." Emily said, quickly packing her bag.
"Are you sure? Usually you pay attention and you raise your hand with almost every question I ask, you only looked at your books today." Mr. Sandson said and sat down next to her.
"It's nothing, jsut... a little sick I think." Emily said.
"Okay, if there is something you can always come to me, you know that, right?"
"Yes, I do. Thank you, but i need to go to my next class." Emily said and quickly walked out. she walked to her next class and went to Chester, but she was a little late.
"Emily, why are you late?"
"Eh.. I... I had to stay a bit longer after math, Mr. Sandson wanted to talk to me." She said and a couple of girls giggled.
"Okay, sit down." The teacher said and Emily sat down next to Chester and grabbed her books. Again she tried to pay attention but it didn't work and Chester noticed this as well.
"Emily, are you okay?" He asked.
"I'm fine, Chess." She just said.
"No, you're not." Chester said, luckily the bell soon rang and they walked out. they sat down on a bench.
"Em, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, really."
"There is something, I can see it."
Emily was silent for a little. "Fine, yes there is something. But i don't want to talk about it."
"Why not?"
"I just don't, Chess."
"Is it about your mother?"
"No."
"Me?"
"No."
"Your dad?"
"...Yes"
"Did he hit you or something?"
"No, of course not!"
"Did he do something else to you?"
"No"
"Then what is it?"
".....Yesterday, after you brought me home, I walked in on him.... having sex."
"What? I thought you said he would never go to an other woman."
"I know, and it wasn't an other woman..." Emily said softly, Chester's eyes widened slightly.
"He was having sex with a man?"
"Yep.... apparently he has a boyfriend for almost two months."
"You're kidding, right?"
"No, I'm not."
"That's..... shocking to find out in that way."
"It was indeed. But please don't tell anyone." 
"Of course not, I would never tell anyone anything like that."
"Thanks."
"No problem."

After school they walked out and Emily already saw Andy was waiting for her. She said goodbye to Chester, who gave her a kiss before leaving. Emily sat down in the car and smiled a little awkward at her father. They went home and Andy made dinner. Most of dinner was silent but after a while Andy did try to start a conversation.
"Emily, I hope we can talk about what happened."
"Rather not, but fine."
"I'm sorry you had to see that and find out about Mikael that way, I really am, but do you think you could give him a second chance? give me a second chance?"
"I...I think I can, But you should understand I will be awkward around him at first."
"Of course. Is next Friday too soon for him to come over so we can all talk a bit?"
"No, I think that is fine."
"Okay, I'm glad you are willing to get to know him."
"He looks nice, and it wasn't his fault you two got caught, though it wasn't the brightest idea to do it at our place. He looks a bit like Devon."
"You think so? I don't think so."
"it's been a while since I saw Devon, so I don't really know."
"They don't look like each other."
"Speaking about Devon, he used to come here all the time, why isn't he coming anymore?"
"He is really busy with his work, but he already told me he will come next week, he wanted to see us again because we didn't see each other for a while and he wanted to catch up with us."
"Okay, nice."
"But we're not sure when, probably Thursday but not sure."
"I don't care, he can come any time."
"I'll tell him."
Emily smiled at him. "I'm gonna go to my room and do some homework, then I'm gonna go to bed, so I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yes, see you tomorrow." Andy said and Emily went to her room. she  did some homework before she went to bed and she soon fell asleep.

Next day at school Chester came to her during a break.
"Hey, Em." he said
"Hey, Chester, what's up?"
"Not much, though I can't go out with you tonight, sorry."
"Why not?"
"some trouble at home and my dad wants me to stay home."
"Oh, I understand. maybe some other time."
"Yes, of course, I'd love to." Chester said and smiled at her. 
"Can I know what's going on?"
"Ehm.... I don't like to talk about it, sorry."
"That's okay, you don't have to tell me."
Chester smiled a little sad at her. "I'll see you later then."
"Yes, see you later, Chess." Emily said and they kissed shortly before Chester left.

Next Thursday Emily was out a couple of hours earlier than usual and walked home. When she arrived a car just parked in front of the house. A man stepped out, his black hair neatly pulled back with hair wax, Emily smiled when seeing him.
"Hey, Devon!" Emily said.
"Hey, Emily. How are you? It has been a while since we spoke." Devon said and walked up to the front door with her. 
"I'm good, how about you? it has indeed."
"I'm okay, I just moved recently."
"You did?" Where do you live now?"
"A couple blocks away, I'll give you and your father the adres later on, okay?"
"Sounds good." Emily said and opened the front door and they went in.
"Do you want something to drink?"
"Yes, thanks."
"Coffee?"
"Yeah, coffee is fine."
Emily made some coffee ready and filled a glass with water for herself. They sat down on the couch and talked about anything and everything. Devon went to the toilet real quick and when he sat back down next to Emily he sat a little bit closer than before. they talked more until they heard the front door open and close. Andy came in.
"Hello, Devon." Andy said and smiled at him. Andy sat with them and talked with them. They had dinner together but Devon had to leave soon after that. They said goodbye and Devon left.
"When did he arrive?"
"When I did, about 1:30."
"He was early, did he know you were out early?"
"I always was on Thursdays, maybe he just came and didn't realize that I probably have a different timetable now."
"Perhaps...." Andy said, a little suspicious.
"Does it matter?"
"Not really." Andy said and then changed the subject. "Do you have any tests coming up?"
"Not yet, I do have a testweek in six weeks but it's a little early to study already."
"true, are you leaving tonight?"
"No, Chester can't go out, he has some trouble at home."
"Oh, doesn't sounds fun."
"I don't think so, no."
"Well, would you mind if Mikael comes over?"
"No, sure, I'd like o meet him properly."
Andy smiled and texted Mikael. soon the door bel rang and he came in. he gave Andy a little kiss and looked at Emily.
"Hi, sorry about Saturday, again." He said.
"It's okay now, it's nice to properly meet you, Mikael."
"Nice to meet you too, Emily." Mikael said and they went to the living room. they sat on the couch with a drink and talked about how Mikael's and Andy's relationship. Mikael told they met during a meeting between their two companies and complained about how boring it was together, they saw each other a lot more when the two companies worked together on a project and that they met up after work as well. soon they found out they were in love with each other and started dating but didn't want Emily to know yet because they were afraid she would hate them because of it.
"Bullshit, why would I hate you?" Emily asked
"I'm dating your dad." Mikael said.
"That's true, but actually I'm happy he is dating a man, you don't remind me of my mother, and I am happy about that"
Mikael smiled at her. "I'm glad you give me a chance."
Emily smiled back. "No problem"
They smiled and talked a lot more, then went to bed.
