So, That's Your Dad? (Freddie Mercury) | Under Construction

Chapter Eight: Shitting In The Toaster

Joe allowed me to drive. I did so and I'm surprised I did a good job. Although I was terrified to drive, I just went by the speed limit and eventually figured out my way home. I thought I was going to hurt someone or even start driving on the sidewalk. But no, we got to our location safely. I stop right before the gate and looked straight at Joe. I'm nervous now, more than I have ever been. I haven't had to do this in four years since Britney and I met. He knew that I was about to say something.

      "Ok. You're about to be shocked. You cannot tell anyone about this, no one. Ok?" I lectured. "Ok I wont tell anyone. What are you living with criminals?" He joked. I sighed. "Close enough. My dad has gotten three DUI's, I'm not saying they're criminals but you're going to be just as shocked." I explained rambling. "Ok just get to the point." He said. "My family isn't the average family." I told him. He nodded. I turned over and rolled down my window. I pressed the button on the intercom. "Yes?" I heard Bill the security guy's voice. "It's me Bill." I stated. "That car looks very shitty." Both joe and I laughed at the comment. "I know. Can you let us in now?" I asked. Seconds later the gate opened.

I slowly move us to the driveway and parked behind my dad's car. "Are you ready to meet my parents?" I wanted to be sure of. "Tiff you're asking me that like I'm your boyfriend." He chuckled. "Well they don't like my boyfriend. So I don't know how they're going to feel about you." I said. After we both got out of the car and we made it to our front door. I'm nervous. But I have to do this, I shouldn't have to be afraid. I open the door and Joe admires my entire house. "This place is beautiful." He complimented. "Thank you. It's just my house to me."I said and giggled. All of a sudden I heard a loud bang and the sound of a cat squealing. I knew that it wasn't a dramatic sound affect. No! One of the cats is hurt!

I see Joe who fell flat on his face and Goliath laying under his feet. I picked up the cat and made sure that he was ok. Joe got up. "I'm really sorry, I didn't see the cat." He apologized frantically. I laughed and continued to pet the cat. "It's alright, he didn't get hurt. Also that cats run around the house all the time." I said as Goliath purred in my arms. Two more of the cats ran in and I picked both of them up  as well. "We have a lot of cats." I said as I began to walk and Joe followed me. "This is Goliath, Delilah and Tiffany 2." I informed him. He grabbed Tiffany and they seemed to get along instantly.

After admiring the cats we suddenly heard a loud swarm of footsteps coming from upstairs. "What the hell was that noise!?" I hear my dad yell as he comes running down the stairs fixing his pants. He glared at Joe as soon as he saw both of us. He snatched Tiffany out of his Joe's arms. "Tiffany are you ok?" He wondered. "Dad I'm fine." I said confused on which one he was talking to. "Not you the other one!" He yelled and hugged the cat. Joe and I looked over at each other and he was in pure shock.

He could not believe who was standing in front of him. Yes I understand that my dad is loved all around the world. But I don't know why one is in shock by him, i see him everyday. That's the only parent I've had and the only one I have called dad in my entire fifteen years of being in this world. I sighed. "Dad. This is my new friend Joe. I wanted you to meet him." I said. He all of a sudden shifted. He changed so suddenly almost like a light switch. "Hi there I'm  Freddie. Tiffany's dad." He introduced himself holding out his hand for Joe. Joe just giggled and ran his fingers through his red hair.

      "I know who you are, and oh my gosh. It's such an honor to meet you Mr. Mercury." Joe went on as he shook Freddie's hand. "Oh please call me Freddie. Typically I don't want boys in the house, but I approve." My dad said then looked straight at me. I smirked and shook my head. I put down the two cats I was holding and grabbed Joe's arm. "Ok dad it was nice talking to you I'm going to show Joe the house!" I yelled and dragged Joe away. We rushed upstairs and he was also amazed by that as well. "Come on, I want to show you something!" I said eagerly and dragged him to the location I wanted to desperately show him.
