looked away.
Without anything to say I walked to my room and slipped on my pajamas. Mitch and I? that’s ridiculous. I would never date someone as infuriating as him. With that thought In my head I fell asleep.
--
I hurried downstairs. Oh god I’m going to be late! Why didn’t I heard the alarm?! Maggie eyed me curiously as I went to the fridge and graved an orange.
“Why are you all flushed?” Maggie asked.
“I’m going to be late! God Emma is going to kill me, Mitch will be furious and Richard will be shaking his head!” I ran to the door. “Bye dad!”
It was a miracle I didn’t get a thicket on my way to the Gaynor’s mansion. When I got there Emma and Richard were getting out of the front door. I ran out and gasped for air, please don’t fire me! Please! “I’m sorry I’m late!”
Emma frowned. “Late? We called and told your father that you could come at nine.” she looked at her watch. “In fact you’re just in time.”
“We wont be here until twelve. Can you stay that long?” Richard asked.
“Midnight?” I felt my eyes widen.
“Is there a problem with that?” Richard lifted an eyebrow.
“No, its fine. I’ll just call home, have a good time.” I smiled and waved as they left. Oh god. I headed to the kitchen and grabbed the phone that was there. I dialed up my home’s phone.
“Hello?” dad’s voice sounded sleepy.
“Did I woke you up?”
“Keller? No. something wrong?”
“Just calling to tell you I wont be home until midnight. The Gaynor’s have some event and I need to stay longer. Don’t wait for me.”
“Midnight?! You wont be staying alone with a boy older than you that late, young lady!” my dad scolded.
“Dad its not like I’ve never-” I stopped myself just in time. No way I was going to remember my dad about my sex life before I went to a psycho, he might get a heart attack. “What I mean is that nothing will happen. The guy hates me.”
“Keller before-” shit.
“Dad, I’m sorry I ever did that but I swear it wont happen again.” I felt like the worst person on earth.
“Promise nothing will happen.” he demanded.
“Ed Adzharia I, Keller, your sweet and lovely daughter, promise you that nothing will happen between Mitch Gaynor and I. did I miss something?”
Dad laughed. “No need to be mean, Keller. But that’s fine.”
“Don’t stay up okay? Or I’ll call Maggie.” I warned.
“Fine. Be careful.”
“Yeah, yeah. I’m not fourteen anymore. Bye.” I hung up and chuckled. For once my dad was worrying again for me instead of keeping closed up and thinking about the past. “Why did you have to leave mom?”
As I turned around I had to grip the chair next to me in order not to fall flat on my face. Mitch was standing there leaning against the door, smirking. Holly damn, how much did he heard?
“What do you want for breakfast?” I asked a bit nervous.
Mitch kept smirking. “Omelets.”
I nodded and began to cook. I straightened up and stood very still. Mitch was pressing against me, I’m trapped between the stove and his body. I felt his hand on my waist. “What are you doing?” I frowned.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” he mumbled against my ear.
“Mitch move, I’m cooking.” my temper was rising.
“Don’t think so.” he bit my earlobe. “This is fun.”
“Don’t make me hurt you.”
Mitch chuckled and began to nibble my neck. That did it, I elbowed him and turned around. It was mean of me because that caught him of guard and he nearly stumbled backwards. I grabbed his arm to steady him, took the crutch and gave it to him. He was smiling.
“Don’t you dare touch me again, you hear that Gaynor?” I grabbed a plate and set it on the table.
“You did promise to that Ed you wouldn’t do anything with me.” he smirked and sat down. “Can I have some juice?”
I grabbed some from the fridge and filled a cup. “Here. And that Ed is my father, don’t make fun of him. Got it?”
His
