Pineapple

Chapter Eight

Right now I'm at Lee's apartment debating whether to live with him or not.

Do I

Do I not

Hmm

"you know we could've gone to your house to fetch your clothes and grabbed a bite at McDonalds but no let's waste time prolonging the inevitable." Lee said jokingly but with a trace of annoyance at my indecisiveness.

"I'm sorry, it's just so hard for me to decide. I mean what if Dad gets mad at me and locks me in the house. What if I'm never allowed out of the house ever again." I say panicking even though most of those what if's won't happen.

"that is not gonna happen, I'll even go in with you if it will help make you feel better." he says trying to make me feel better.

"my dad will literally kill you if he finds out I'm staying with you." I say.

"we could just tell him you are staying at my house with my family there. It will make him feel better and he wouldn't suspect anything." he says.

"okay then but you getting in with me Lee and you not leaving my side what so ever." I say taking his hand.

Lee squeezes my hand and gives me a light kiss on my right cheek.

Cute mother fucker

"i already said I was getting in with you babe don't stress or else you'll age quickly, you don't wanna look like my mom in public now do you." he says jokingly.

"fuck you Lee." I say laughing

"soon pineapple." he says leaning in and kisses my neck.

Oh my goodness I'm gonna die.

"a real gentleman doesn't speak vulgar shit like that." I say in an English accent.

"who said I'm gentle." he asks me with hooded eyes.

"I walked right into that one, let's just go Lee." I pull him towards the door.

Lee let's out a booming laugh and I can't help but smile and shake my head.

"ladies first." he features for me to get into the elevator.

I get in and it takes us to the basement which is also the garage.

We get in the car and zoom, off we go.

I said zoom because we were going that fast.

But since we are both lovers of speed we didn't mind.

In no time we are outside of my parents house.

I open the gate with my remote and we drive in and park in the driveway.

"let's do this" I say and we both take of our seat belts and step out of the car.

Lee doesn't really open my door for me often.

I wonder why not.

Hes a gentleman I know but it wouldn't kill him.

Lee takes my hand and gives it a squeeze as a sign of assurance that everything will be okay.

I open the house door and I'm greeted by cold air of a house that is not a home.

I lead Lee upstairs to my bedroom and he sits on my bed while I walk into my closet to pack my clothes.

"your room is pretty boring for a teenage girl don't you think." I hear him ask.

He's probable walking around the room judging by the shuffling I can hear.

"I know, I don't really see this place as home. I think everything is temporary and it would be useless to decorate and leave soon." I say while digging through my closet.

"well you're such a ray of sunshine." he says sarcastically.

"I know right, just farthing rainbows everywhere." I add on.

We both pause to drink the conversation in and burst out into another round of laughter.

"okay I think I have everything I'll need for like a week." I say pulling a big blue suit case out of my closet.

"are you sure you're not planning on staying at my apartment permanently, not that I would mind." he asks and eyes settle on the giant suit case beside me.

"it's not that much really and I haven't packed my toiletries." I say rushing to my bathroom to pack necessary toiletries.

"and uhm babe don't forget to pack your cheerful side." he says Ina serious tone but i know he is trying not to laugh.

"I am always cheerful L, thank you." I say as I walk out of the bathroom.

"let's go" I say and drag him out with.

Lee carries my bags for me but on our way down I hear voices in my parents bedroom.

I tell Lee to carry on  without me and that I'll meet him in the car.

He gives me a quick peck on my lips and carries on as told.

That sounded so I own Lee and he listens to everything I say like.

I walk closer towards the voices and I hear muffled voices.

"she is our daughter and we should be more involved in her life Savanah." I hear my dads voice say.

"that's the thing John. Jennifer is your daughter not mine. When I married you I didn't sign up for her at all but it happened anyway right." my mom says.

"I thought we were going to leave her by my mom's house and carry on with our lives ad have kids of our own. John that's the life I wanted when I married you not her." she carries on.

"she was your sister Savanah, I cheated on her with you, stop acting as if you were the one cheated on." my dad says in a calm but stern voice.

"Sandra was your sister and when she was pregnant with Jessica you were there for me when I was stressed.  You helped me through it all, but through this blossoming friendship i fell in love with you slowly and I couldn't stop myself even if I knew I had a daughter on the way and a girlfriends who would soon be my wife. Savanah you made sense and you were understanding and supportive. I love that Savanah but where is she now. " my dad says softly nearly impossible for me to hear.

" John she is still here but..." before she can finish she is interrupted.

" no buts, I thought you married me because you loved me and excepted me and Sandra's baby as your own. That is the least you can do for Sandra after breaking her relationship with me." he says almost shouting at her.

"john you can't blame me for everything that happened." my mom says.

"well I just did." my dad says and I hear his feet approaching the door.

Before I can walk or run away the door is open and the man who opens it is frozen.

I feel Numb right now, I don't even know what to feel.

"Jessica I can explain." he starts but I cut him off before he can continue.

"just like you probably explained to my mother." I say glaring at him.

"Jessica darling..." he starts.

"no let me explain. Firstly don't you dare blame someone else for your wrong doings. secondly I'm going to be staying with Lee for a few days and you don't have a say in it. Goodbye John." I say with a lump on my throat but no tears in my eyes. He doesn't deserve my tears.

I rush down the stairs and I get in the car with Lee who seems like he is bored out of his mind from waiting this long.

Oh Lee.
