Daughter of the Guitarist

Chapter 25

My alarm went off at six as usual; I turned it off and got in the shower. After twenty minutes I shut off the water and stood in the mirror wrapped in a towel not sure how to do my hair; I decided to scrunch it so it was curly. I put on my make up and went to my closet, not sure what to wear today. I put on a blue jean mini skirt, a hot pink lace tank top with a white V-neck shirt over it, and my black and white Circa skate shoes. I grabbed my bag and went downstairs to smoke.

Dad smiled when he saw me. "Cute outfit, sweetie."

"Thank you," I said sitting across from him and lighting my cigarette.

"How's Victoria?" Dad asked.

"Good," I answered, "she went out with Matt yesterday and has another date with him Saturday."

"Matt told me," dad said, "He said he may ask her to be his girlfriend."

"I hope he does."

"I do too."

I smiled, "I think they would be good together."

Dad nodded, "Are you ready?"

"Yeah," I said standing up and going inside. I sprayed on some perfume and we left.

"Have a good day," dad said kissing my cheek.

"You too, dad," I said climbing out and shutting the door.

Algebra did not hold my attention for long. We graded our tests from yesterday; I made a ninety, I only missed two out of twenty.

Victoria was already in her seat when I walked in. She turned to me.

"Oh my god, girl," she said smiling, "Matt is so sweet."

"So, I'm guessing you guys had fun?"

"Hell yeah," she said, "Matt is a good kisser."

"Dude, way TMI," I said cringing.

"Sorry, chick." Victoria said smiling.

"I don't care to know how good of a kisser my uncle is." I said smiling back. "I don't look at him that way, dude. What did you guys talk about?"

"A lot of shit," She said, "he said he's liked me since the first day he met me, cause I was so chill."

"That's cool," I said, "I hope he asks you to be with him soon."

"I do, too, dude."

Class was called to order, we had a substitute. He was cool; we had a paper on Romeo and Juliet due Friday morning. I started my outline and almost finished it when the bell rang. I was not looking forward to biology.

Mr. Mason had us working as partners and we had to label and draw different cells without using our books.

When the bell rang I went to lunch. Victoria was already sitting at our usual lunch table. I got a soda and a piece of pizza, and sat across from her smiling.

"Hey what's up?" She asked smiling back at me.

"Nothing much," I said. "What all did Matt have to say?"

"He said he was scared to ask me out," Victoria said, "cause he didn't know what I would say."

"That's sweet, dude." I said, "Matt is a great guy, I hope you guys get together soon."

She nodded, "Me too."

"Just please don't hurt him."

"I won't," she said, "I like him a lot."

"That's good," I said, "I'm glad."

French was boring and so was athletics; I finished my outline for my paper. When the bell rang dad picked me up.

"Who's all there?" I asked nervously and putting on my seatbelt.

"Brian and Matt." Dad answered smiling to calm me down.

"Okay."

When we pulled up I went to my room to do my homework and work on my paper. I went outside to smoke a cigarette; my paper was almost done. I just had to proof read and rewrite the final draft.

Matt was outside so I joined him. "How was your day?" He asked smiling at me.

"It was good," I answered, "I have a paper due Friday in English and I'm almost done with it."

"What all do you have left to do on it?"

"Proof read and write my final draft." I said shrugging.

"That's good," Matt said smiling, "just get it done."

"I will uncle Matt."

My phone went off, I had a text from Victoria.

Victoria: Whatcha doing?

Me: Sitting on the porch smoking a cigarette...you?

Victoria: Nothing my mom is out of town til Friday

Me: Do you want me to ask if you can come over?

Victoria: I'm not here alone my step dad is here

Me: If u change your mind let me know you're always welcome here you know that

Victoria: I know ;)

I put out my cigarette and went inside. Brian greeted me with a hug and a kiss. He picked me up and spun me around before setting me on my feet again. I never got tired of his greetings; he made me happy. I felt truly wanted and safe. No man had ever made me feel the way he did.

I had only dated one other guy, he was in the home with me. We dated for a year and a half, when he got adopted we broke up. I never heard from him again after that.

Brian was different, he made me feel truly loved. "What's on ur mind?" He asked.

"Nothing really." I answered honestly wrapping my arms around him again. He made me feel so short next to him; I barely went to his chest. My head was at least three inches below his shoulder.

Brian sighed, "Are you okay?"

I nodded, "I'm fine, why?"

"Just asking, baby."

I wrapped my arms around his neck and stood on my toes to kiss him. He bent down so I was standing flat on my feet. He pulled away and smiled at me.

Dad walked in, "You have a doctors appointment at ten."

"Why?" I asked confused.

"Just a check up."

"Who's taking me?" I asked.

"Probably me," dad answered, "your mom has a palates class."

I nodded, "Am I going to school?"

"No," he said, "you're just gonna stay home afterwards."

"Sweet," I said, "that's was up."

"We're going to put you on birth control," dad said, "so be ready."

"Ugh," I said, "I have to get a pap smear, I hate those."

"Are you a virgin?" Dad asked.

"I'd rather not talk about that, dad." I answered smiling and shrugging. "Not with you at least."

"I understand, honey." Dad said smiling and walking away.

"Does anybody know about us?" Brian asked looking in my eyes.

I shook my head, "No, baby."

"Are you sure?" He asked.

I nodded and wrapped my arms around his neck. He pressed his lips to mine making my heart race. His kisses always did that to me. My heart either started racing or skipping beats.

Brian hugged me once more and left. I ate dinner and went to bed.
