My First Ever Love

Ch-12, Drunk Dad

We both wait for him for about two hours and it has started raining now, but he has not shown up and I had to sleep, tomorrow being a school day.

"Mom, call dad once." I told her getting worried. "I tried but its switched off" she said at the verge of tears. I hugged her assuring everything is fine.

Suddenly, we heard a knock on the door. I made my way and opened the door, I was beyond shocked to see dad drunk and was supported by...Aiden? They both were wet. I let them in.

I had too many questions in my head. I was gonna ask him but was interrupted by my mom sobbing and trying to get a hold of dad. I let Aiden lay dad on the couch as I hold my mom.

"Aiden...what happened to dad?" I asked tearing up a little. I have never seen dad drunk and it is more than shocking. My mom went to dad and stroked his head.

"I was on my way back to home when I saw your dad crossing a busy road so, I helped him out. I looked in his bag for the address." He said.

I sighed, knowing dad didn't injure himself. "Thanks"

"No problem" he says.

My mom was now by my side thanking Aiden for helping my dad. "Why don't you wait, it's raining outside" my mom says wiping her tears, he denies at first but after few attempts, he agrees.

"Sweety, get a towel for him while I take your dad to our room" she said while helping dad.

I nodded. "Wait here. I'll be back in a minute" I tell him and go to my room to get the towel. I come down and hand him the towel. There's an awkward silence while he dried his hair.

I don't like him but seeing he has a heart to save a stranger who unfortunately was my dad, I feel really touched. If I was on good terms with him, I would've hugged him so tight...he would've left breathless. So instead I thanked him again.

"You can stop saying that," he said. I just shrugged and said, "I would've stopped saying if I could but, I'm really happy that you brought him home safely. I've never seen him drunk in my life" I say thinking about times he was sad and angry. He had never come home drunk which make me worried now.

He must have noticed my frown cause he ask, "everything okay?" I snap out of my reverie "huh?"

"I asked, are you okay?" He repeated. "Oh...yeah um...I was just thinking what might have happened to him." I avert my eyes but my perverted eyes land on his abs. His t-shirt being wet, I have full access to his abs. I feel my cheeks burning so, I try to take my eyes off his six packs. To break the silence I say, "Your shirt is wet."

"I know, I'll be heading home now" he says. I look out the window to see its raining heavily so I ask, "are you sure? The weather seems pretty bad you know... you will end up catching a cold."

He looks out the window and sighs.

"Um...you can take your shirt off. I'll give you my dad's t-shirt or something." I said hesitantly.

"You know...you can just tell me if you want to see me naked" he said smirking.

Here comes his remark. Gosh! And I thought he was not that bad.

"Ugh!! Can't you keep your remarks with you?" I asked annoyed.

"Sweety, you there?" Mom asks from the stairs. "Yeah momma," I reply. She comes down towards me and Aiden. "Aiden right?" My mom asks unsure. "Yes ma'am" he replies to which mom says, "please, call me Susan."

"Aiden dear, it's raining heavily and your clothes are wet. Why don't you change your clothes, I'll give you one of Kia's dad's clothes for now and you can stay here in our guest room?" My mom asks.

He thinks for a moment and agrees.

"I'll bring you clothes. You can inform Mary you know, she will worry." mom says and goes to her room. "I asked you" I say "why didn't you tell her what you told me about showing your body?"

"Well...she is your mom. She won't have such intentions." He smirks. "You mean, I have such intentions? Ugh! You think so highly of yourself. Well I'm sorry to break but I'm not interested in you or your body" I say in a 'duh' tone.

He changed his clothes and mom cooked him something to eat. After eating he was shown to our guest room.

~~~~~~~~~

I was sleeping peacefully, when I felt someone poking me in the cheeks. I groaned and pulled up my blanket. "Oh..so you aren't a morning person...I see" the person who poke me spoke. The sound was very familiar. I groaned again and open my eyes to see Aiden leaning on me.

"Aaah! What the heck are you doing here?" I asked him. "No need to yell. You mom went out and she told me to wake you up as you've already missed the first period of school" he says in a calm tone.

My eyes pop out widening when I heard I missed my class. "Why didn't anyone wake me earlier. Oh no I cannot miss school. What to do? What to do?" I started rambling as I pulled myself out of my comfy bed.

"Its not a big deal. You can still attend the remaining classes." He said and I nodded.

"Get out of my room. I need to change" I tell him. He shrugs and says, "okay...carry on." Not the right time dude.

I sigh and push him out of my room. I quickly shower and wear a black jeans and a random shirt. I put a little foundation and lip gloss and run down after packing my belongings and wearing my sneakers.

I saw Aiden in the couch sitting idle. "Hey! Aren't you going home or school?" I ask him. He looks at me and say, "waiting for you. Come now let's go to school." He said as he got up from the couch.

"Oh no...I didn't sign the consent form" I say remembering what the teacher said. You can give it to them tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last date." Aiden told me and I sighed in relief.

We reached the school and split our ways. I went to my class and asked permission to enter.

"You're late" said Mr. Parker, my psychology teacher. "I'm sorry sir" I said hanging my head low. "Come in. Since its your first time, I'll let it go" he says and I nod getting in and taking a seat at the end with Daniel.

"Hey! What happened? Why so late?" Daniel whispered. "I'll tell you later" I whispered back and concentrated on class.

It was lunchtime now. Everyone were already seated except Aiden and his group. As soon as I sit down Carrie asks me, "where were you? Do you even know the time?"

"I slept late yesterday, so I woke up late." I shrugged. I didn't want to tell them about my dad's condition yesterday. It's not that I don't trust them, but what if they take some wrong idea of it an-

"Kia, you okay? You spaced out" Julie ask me. I nod and start eating my food.

I was wondering what caused dad to drink too much. He hates the smell of alcohol.

For now, I left the thought and concentrated on what my friends were talking about. They were talking about the trip.

The bell rang indicating the end of recess. I got up and threw my leftover and joined my friends who were walking towards their lockers.

~~~~~~~

Me, Carrie and Julie were in our second last class when there was an announcement for us regarding the trip.

"All those who have brought their consent form filled, please submit it to Mr. Scott. Those who don't have it signed and submitted by tomorrow, they will not be allowed to go" Blared from the speakers.

Everyone got up excitedly while I sat there. "Kia, come on let's submit our forms" Carrie told me smiling widely. I shook my head and told them, "I was not able to get it signed yesterday." Carrie and Julie looked at me sadly but soon recovered. "Don't worry, you can submit it tomorrow. If you want we will submit ours with you tomorrow." Julie said assuredly.

I shook my head again, "no no you go and submit, I'll bring it by tomorrow." "Okay then, we'll be back in a minute" they said and walked out of class.
