"It's fine D. I don't need you to do that. I keep enough to pay for things I need." She states and I know right now is not the time to discuss it.
"Drop it off, and then tell him you got called into work, then you're staying with a friend."
"Like that will go over well."
"What are you talking about?"
She shakes her head. "Did you know Derrick and your dad are friends?"
Whoa! Change of direction.
"What?"
"I was cleaning, and I came across this old photo album. There's a few pictures of your dad and mine. Looks like going back to the 80's, maybe. I only knew it was your dad because it had Gordon Hansen written on the back of it. I asked Derrick about it. After he gave me an ear full for being a nosey brat .But then he told me that they were good friends. And your dad helped, with finalizing my adoption. It sounded like they still talk."
Great!
That might push back when I tell my folks about Mani. Especially, if I don't want them telling Derrick I have a feeling that would go over well. Not.
I roll down the window to tell Taylor we're ready to go. We take Mani back to her house so she can drop of the money.
What a slimeball, making his child pay for the bills. It's not like he doesn't have enough money coming in to take care of the bills.
I'm going to have to set up a separate account for Mani so she can have some of the money she earns. I have a feeling she's not going to let me help her with much.
She comes back out with the bag she left with on Saturday. She gets back in the car and sighs. "How did it go?"
"He didn't seem to care. "If you want to keep whoring around that's up to you. As long as you keep helping with the bills, I don't care what you do."" She mimics his world
