The Gang

[04]

I woke up from where I was and look around the room. I guess I fell asleep in my bed at my parents house. I got up once I felt the urge to pee. I went to the bathroom then I decided to go downstairs for something else to eat. Yes I am fat, and I am proud.

I went downstairs thinking about the lasagna again, and wondering should I take some back home. Before I could get close to the kitchen I heard my dad on the phone.

"Look I'm sorry, but I told you to stop calling me."

...

"I know what I did was wrong, but hey that was 15 years ago."

...

"You told me to leave, and I did."

...

"Might not."

...

"Well who fault is that."

I watch as he hung up the phone sighing hard to his self. He leaned his head on the wall and started playing with his fingers. I started to feel uneasy because it sound like dad was talking to another woman. Was he cheating on mom? What happen 15 years ago?

So many things was running through my mind and I needed answers. How could dad cheat on mom like that. I thought he love mom and our little family. Maybe he wasn't cheating. Maybe it was an old girlfriend calling back for him. Dad did tell her to stop calling and to leave him alone.

"What are you doing?"

I jumped once I heard a voice from behind me. I turned and saw mom staring at me weirdly and then looking over to dad. She walk on into the kitchen turning the light on drawing his attention to her.

"Why are y'all down here and what are you up too?"

Dad look surprised and then he look over to me. I really cant look him in his face right now because of what I just heard. Who was that woman on the phone.

"Hellooooo," Mom said as she stared at us.

"I just came down for something to eat on, and then I saw dad on the phone."

His eyes widen some before looking over to mom. They stared at each other for awhile like they was reading each other mind.

"Well I was talking to Risha."

Mom tilt her head to the side before looking over at me, "Oh ok well lets get back in the bed."

"Wait who is Risha?" I said as I stop mom staring dad down.

After a long silent pause I started to grow irritated with them. I don't like secrets and they know that.

"Mom who is Risha?"

"Someone you don't need to know about."

"But mom-"

"No, now leave it alone."

"Mom I don't like secrets."

"Theresa I don't like repeating myself."

I drop my head and turned around. I guess dad wasn't cheating, but I wanna know who is Risha, and why she is someone I don't need to know.

...

I slowly pulled up to Hibbet Sports, trying to look through the window. I guess that was him that I saw walk by. I went and park my car in a closer parking spot and rushed in.

The door chime and everyone look up. Once he saw me he smirk making the butterflies in my stomach wake up.

I walk over to him smiling once he notice what I had on. He lick his lips before putting everything down and turning back to me.
