Tuesday 3:30pm

"Iben and Chris broke up yesterday." Leah says next to me In the car

"Was about time" Emilie says focusing on the road and getting me home

"I've seen his jumper on 5 new girls already. And it's been a day" Leah says "guy does not wait around."

"Why did they break up?" I ask her

"Drugs or something." Leah shrugs

"Just drugs?" Emilie asks "maybe it was also the cheating and the treating women like shit part too" she scoffs

"Drugs? People do drugs in Norway? I thought it was just Australia" I snicker

"All countries have teenagers that do drugs. Drugs are everywhere." Emilie says "so uncle Ollies leaving tomorrow for a business trip?"

"Yep." I sigh

"For how long? Maybe we could stay with you some days. So you don't get too lonely." Leah asks

"Wednesday morning till next Monday morning. He said he'll be calling me every night. But yea you guys can come over I guess that would be nice" I say

The girls pull into my driveway and decided that they wanted to come in for a bit.

My dad wasn't home from the office yet. We went into the kitchen and see that there was a freshly baked cake with chocolate icing.

Thank you Theaaaa

We cut ourselves big, fat slices of cake each and sit around the kitchen bench eating and gossiping for half an hour when my dad finally comes through the door.

"Hello. Eating off your uncle's food again girls? He laughs "does your dad not feed you?" My dad jokes

"He does but your housekeeper makes bomb chocolate cake." Leah says eating a big chunk off her fork.

"Well let me get out of this suit and join you guys for cake. Someone cut me a big slice please" he says while listening his tie and walking to his room.

I cut him a big slice.

"Uncle Ollie so happy that your here now. He sulked for 16 years. He's now the happiest I've seen him." Leah says smiling

"Besides forgetting to pick you up from school, how has he been doing as a new parent?" Emilie asks

"Not bad honestly. But he gets annoying sometimes, like I'd be gone for 5 minutes and he'd come looking for me. Does he not have a girlfriend?" I ask

"Oh he's had plenty, just none he's wanted to keep around. Your cool with having a girlfriend?" Emilie asks

"I don't see why I wouldn't be. As long as she's nice to me." I say laughing

My dad comes back into the kitchen and starts to eat the slice I cut him.

"Emilie, Leah, feel free to use my house while I'm gone and check up on my daughter a lot please." He says scoffing down the cake

"Oh we where planning on taking over your castle" Leah says mischievously

"Just no parties at my house please. I don't want any teenage boys in here." He instructs

"We'll miss you unc ollie" Leah says hanging onto my dads waist

I learnt that my dad had always been the 'cool' uncle as he was the youngest and was still young when they where born so all his nieces and nephews liked him the most.

Wednesday 7:15am

I see a letter on the kitchen counter with my name on it. It was from my dad, even though we had said formal goodbyes last night he still left a note before he caught his early flight to London.
