Addie was sitting in Donna's kitchen, it was amazing how Donna's parents were always fighting and yet house was still peaceful, but maybe that was because Bob has slept in the vista cruiser. Even kicked out of his house, Bob was still polite to Addie. Has much as Bob was awkward and tacky, she wished her step-dad would take a page from Bobs book.
At her house this morning her step-dad suggested that her mom quit her job as surgical nurse, to be around the home more.; this because her mother was late getting home last night, and dinner was late. God forbid the man's dinner was 5 minutes late, or he ate a sandwich like Addie did almost every night to avoid him. Addie's mom had basically left her father to raise Addie and as she pursued her career; now Gregory just excepted her mom to drop everything for his perfect house. Breakfast ended in screams and shattered plates, and now Addie was sitting here.
Addie sighed and looked up at Donna was fiddling with the straw in her soda, even with a dad like Bob, having your dad kicked out of the house wasn't easy. She poked Donna in the arm, perhaps a change of subject.
" so how was your date with Eric last night?"
"okay, I guess" donna was still staring down at her drink.
" you guess?"
Donna looked up and locked eyes with Addie " I kinda ,told Eric I loved him"
Addie rolled her eyes " And he didn't say it back? Donna" Addie grabbed her friends hand.
" No worse..."
"Worse? I'm sorry but what worse than that?
Donna lips curled bitterly " he said he loved cake,"
Addie covered her mouth trying to keep from laughing " Cake? He loves cake"
"Stop laughing it's not funny"
"no not at all, I mean if he'd said he loved muffins, totally funny."
" shut up"
" Donna, maybe he just really loves cake" Addie laughed " I'm sure we can find you some caked themed clothes"
"I scared him"
Addie took a deep breathe composing herself " that's a real possibility,, or he just really likes cake"
Donna glared and pointed clock on the oven " you going to be late for the circle"
Addie jumped up from the chair, and smoothed down her sweater as she went to the door. " you coming?"
" haha... and sit with cake boy? No.. plus I told Jackie I'd help with her with math"
" suit youself, help jackie with math.. I'd rather taunt cake boy"
