Chapter 31: It's Party Time!

Its was late and I was worried about Dad, he hasn't been back yet, I was in the living room catching up on Vampire Diaries, but my thoughts were on dad. It was just past 11o'clock,  I was starting to drift to sleep and dad still wasn't back, I decided to go upstairs to bed.

After a while I started to hear strange nosies from downstairs,  they woke me up, I sat up and looked around.

I heard the door close, then lock, I looked at the time; 12:08am. I tip toed around the hall and slowly opened dad's door

'Daaad!' I whispered

I looked at his bed and there was no one there, just an messy empty bed. So much for not a date, I thought.

I slowly tip toe downstairs, knowing who it.

I saw a dark figure tip toeing

'Dad I know its you!' I said crossing my arms

'Urr.. morning!' He said looking down at his watch

'Oh hello!' I said, the lights turned on 'Dad, its 20 past 12 in the morning, why did you take so long?' I questioned him

'I know,  I know I'm sorry!'

'I was waiting, I ate and made ice cream sundaes for us for when you would be back, but I started falling asleep and went to bed' I said, walking closer to him

'Oh, I'm sorry, sweetheart' he said hugging me

'So have was the 'business dinner'?' I asked him as he releases me, I caught a whiff of something

'Urr.. good...good, yeah, very' he said smiling' he said

'Good!' I smiled, still not believing it was a work related dinner, I mean as a builder, what do you need to go dinner for? What you going to talk about,  you just build houses and stuff like that. Right? Plus, especially men, just men, men going to dinner, bit odd. (Not saying women aren't builders, its just where dad works its just men as far as I know.)

He and dad walked up to bed, at the top of the stairs we both went our separate ways, I went left, he went right.

I walked in to my room and closed the door, I remembered that I forgot to ask dad about the party, Bels forced me to go to, anyway what bettet time when dad is feeling a bit guilty?

I rushed out of my room and knocked on dad's door in case I walk in and hes going changed.

'Come in!' He said

I opened the door and stood in the doorway, with a bit of my body and all of my face peeking through.

'Urr.. dad, Me and Bels and some of my other friends, we got invited to a party this Friday. ..' I started

'You mean, technically tomorrow?' He pointed out

'...yes, urr.. yeah,  urr... can I go?' I asked looking up at him

'Yes!'he said not even thinking about it

'Really? You're not even going to ask where it is? What time it starts? Who's the host? What time I'm planning on coming back?  And all your usual questions?' I asked surprised

'Nope! I trust you know the host well, I trust it will be at a house? And I trust that you will come home at a reasonable time, or not, I can't really say much!' He said to me, then chuckled to him self

'Oh, thanks dad! I won't do anything stupid, I won't let you down! 'I smiled before closing the door

'Night pumpkin!' He said before the door closed properly
