Ensconce Transformers Prime AU (Book 2) (Wattys 2017)

Chapter Twenty Nine

The two just stared at each other blankly for a few minutes. They weren't sure how to react other than to keep blushing. Miko grinned happily and pulled the two back into the house. She closed the door as the two continued to stare. She giggled and sat them at the table then went to finish breakfast.

"I'm so going to play match maker." She muttered and grinned. She finished and looked over at them. They were just staring at each other.

"Well say something!" She yelled and the two jumped then looked at her as they blinked a couple times.

"Oh... um... I... why am I here?" Andi muttered and looked around. Bulkhead blinked a couple times as if coming out of a daze. Miko rolled her eyes and put food in front of them. She sat down and waited as the two tried to think.

"Sooo Andi what do you do for a living?" She asked since Bulkhead wasn't talking at all.

"What? Oh..." she muttered and looked at the young woman. "I... um... I work as a nurse in-"

"That's awesome!" Miko interrupted. "Dad worked for the military and now he works on a special team. He's really good at whatever he does." She boasted.

"Oh I can tell." Andi said as she looked at him then blushed deeply. Was that out loud? Bulkhead blushed even more if possible and couldn't seem to find any words. Miko's smile slowly grew bigger and more mischievous. She knew how to play her cards.

"So dad." She said and looked at him. He blinked in surprise and gave her a look. He was embarrassed enough and didn't need help.

"D-don't you have school today?" He stuttered and stared at Andi. They couldn't seem to look away from each other. Miko smiled mischievously and set her elbows on the table then her chin in her hands.

"Nope. It's Saturday." She grinned as she watched the two.

Bulkhead didn't respond and didn't know why they kept staring at each other. It wasn't even awkward. Almost natural. Andi finally broke the spell as she stared at her plate of food. Bulkhead blinked a couple times then slowly ate.

Miko frowned and thought about what they could do. She had set Andis file on the counter so the two wouldn't be distracted. Andi couldn't think straight and slowly ate. She couldn't seem to focus on what she was supposed to be doing.

"Sooo... do you have a boyfriend?" Miko asked as she smirked. Andi blushed deeply and stared at her. What was wrong with this child?

"Miko!" Bulkhead said and looked at her in disbelief. "Can't you see your making the beautiful woman uncomfortable?" He blurted out then blushed again. Miko snickered and mentally high fived herself. Andi couldn't believe this was happening.

"You're doing just fine dad." She smirked and wiggled her eyebrows.

"D-don't you have homework?" He asked and looked at her. She scrunched up her face in thought.

"Maybe." She shrugged and he gave her a look as he silently begged her to go do it. "Ugh fine." She muttered and smiled mischievously as she kissed his cheek then walked off. Bulkhead stared at his hands as he continued to blush.

"I'm so sorry..." he mumbled and got up then took the dishes to the kitchen. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable... I don't even know you..." he mumbled. Andi shook her head and followed after him.

"Don't be." She said as she smiled slightly and looked at him. He stared at her and smiled a little.

The two spoke for a full hour on different things. Getting to know each other better. Miko found them sitting on the couch when she came back in. She grabbed the file on the counter and put it on the coffee table as she sat by her dad.
