Tough Love Part 21; Part 1
Hey guys!! Thanx for the votes SO FAR! Keep on readingâ?¦â?¦and once again, happy birthday Randy! As you can see, I started typing this exactly a week ago, but guess what today is? (Other than TATUMâ??S 48th birthday). Katherineâ??s and Joeâ??s 62nd wedding anniversary, if Iâ??m not mistaken. I woke up, thinking about! Iâ??ma try my best with this partâ??this is probably WHY I procrastinated becose I was afraid! Well, here it gooeesss!! _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Chapter 21 Part 1 Asking Shaun for Something.... I was still trying to figure out who would I ask to go to the masquerade, business ball with. I know I checked Foster off my list. I donâ??t know where Tiger lives, but I wouldnâ??t want to ask him because Clarence would think we had hooked up. Michael and I are just friends. And Donovan Cooper might be mooching off with his new girlfriend, Jay Benson. Iâ??m not sure if heâ??s dating, but knowing him, he can pull it off. Who would I want to go to the ball with?! I asked myself. Then I knew and remembered. I remember that dude at the restaurant that Sunday. I forgot his name, but I remember that he was magnificently beautiful, and he could compete with Michael when it came to looks, because when I think of him, he reminds me of Michael. I remember his face, and I remember calling him a mannequin, but I also remember being so scared, so I canâ??t remember his name. THEN, I remember that I might have seen the same guy two Tuesdays ago in the grocery storeâ??s parking lot. Just thinking of him gave me thuds in my heart. If he wasnâ??t acting SO vindictive, I know I would have wanted to kiss him. I just wanna know his nameâ?¦. â??Yâ??know, I should have had you baked the cake before we were on our way.â? My dad said, looking over at me. â??Instead of at night, you know. But you are my random daughter.â? â??I just hope she enjoys this cake.â? I said. â??She should.â? Today was Sunday, and I was supposed to meet Shaun again. She is about 5â??7, light-skinned, and pretty. To me though, she is no beauty compared to my mother. Shaun is nice, but I donâ??t want her interfering with my personal life. Dad told me Shaun decided to have lunch with us (we donâ??t regularly eat lunch AT lunchtime) but she fixed the lunch, so I guess weâ??re even. Dad told me to wear something nice, but I purposefully wore a robe over my clothes, and I had pajama pants on. I already had to be someone elseâ??s daughter, so I donâ??t plan on doing it again. â??You could wear something nicer.â? Michael said. â??Please stay!â? I said. â??I donâ??t want to be left in a room with them by myself!â? â??Iâ??m sorry, Lyric. Mother really wants to spend some of her Sunday with me. You already get me long enough.â? Well, I really couldnâ??t twist his arm any longer. â??Fine, okay.â? I said, obviously defeated. â??But Iâ??ll come back a-sap.â? He promised me. â??And please change your clothes.â? I laughed with him, â??No. Iâ??ll make a late entrance.â? â??Late entrance my foot.â? Clarence said as he walked into the Manâ??s Room. â??Change your clothes, girl.â? â??I donâ??t know what to wear.â? â??Something other than that!â? So I was down here in the kitchen, hand stuck in a bag of Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles chips when â??Miss Perfect Shaunieâ? walked in the room. â??Hi, Lyric. Would you help me carry the potato salad in?â? â??I already got it.â? My dad said with a smile. Gosh, heâ??s such a suck up when it comes to women. He sorta does that to get on their good side. â??Thank you, Allen.â? ALLEN?! Who calls him â??Allenâ??!! â??Allen?â? I asked. â??Oh, your father said I could call him that.â? â??But it takes away the fact that heâ??s â??Clarenceâ?? to us.â? â??Uh, the last I know, Iâ??m â??Dadâ?? to you.â? â??Oh, youâ??ve heard me call you Clarence before.â? Which is true! He only looked at me, then at Shaun. They laughed. â??Whatâ??s wrong?â? I said; acting the innocent the part. â??Nothing.â? Then he patted me on the back. We were going to sit out back, but there were many flies out back, so we sat at the table. I wasnâ??t going to let Shaun stick me in the middle, so I eased my way into my own seat. As she sat down, I told her I like her cream-green jacket over her white shirt. â??Thank you, honey.â? She said, smiling down at it. So I sat there as I let the two of them talk. After I didnâ??t say anything after a while, Shaun looked at my red and stripe blue halter top. â??Thanks.â? â??And your hair is very interesting! Why is it like that?â? â??Huh?â? â??Why is your hair in that style?â? â??Because, for special reasons. I didnâ??t know how I wanted it, and I always had trouble with it when it got nappy, so it got short, and I got more serious with the perminator. I donâ??t know if I like it, but luckily, it grows back.â? â??Oh, I understand.â? â??But my hair is only silky like yours when itâ??s done right. It isnâ??t done right, right now, because I was thrown in a pull, then cake got in my hair, so I had to wash it twice, and Iâ??m sure that effected my hair some.â? â??Sometimes, I wanna rock an afro, too.â? â??Iâ??m sure you do.â? I said smiling. â??Say what, how about, on my treat, Iâ??ll get your hair done for that ball.â? â??I donâ??t know if someone will wanna go with me!â? â??Iâ??m sure someone would!!â? â??Like who?â? â??Your father told me you could go with Michael.â? â??Yeah, but it donâ??t want to fall back on something thatâ??s convenient. I can always count on him.â? â??You donâ??t have any other friends at school?â? After waiting a few moments, I decided to answer, â??Yeah, but Iâ??m afraid to.â? â??What, those guys at your school are snobby?â? â??Some are mean, Dad.â? I said, with a little annoyance in my tone. â??I can scare some of them.â? â??No,â? I said laughing, shaking my head. â??And I canâ??t ask any guys from my job. Not even the youngsters.â? â??Why?â? â??They are older than you!â? â??How old?â? I chirped in. â??Too old!â? â??Really!â? I tried urging him on. â??Well, like there is this guy, Cooper. Heâ??s over twenty.â? â??Cooper? Whatâ??s his name? His first name?â? â??Canâ?? tell you. Wish I could remember, too!â? â??Oh.â? After we finish eating, I brought the cake out behind Shaun while my father had his hands over her eyes. When I barely had the dang plate on the table, my father popped up, and said â??Thank you, honey!â? then he kissed her on the cheek. â??For me?â? I knew she really meant it when she said that, though itâ??s such a cliché line. â??Yes.â? I said. â??For what?â? â??For helping me with my present.â? She looked at me, then my dad. She got up a little and kissed my dad on the cheek, and then mine. â??Thanks, hons.â? She said, before slicing a piece for herself, and greedily dug into it. â??I love red velvet!â? â??I can tell.â? I said, smiling. Looking at Shaunâ??s excitement, it made me sad because I missed how my dad was around MY mom. The moment I sat the cake down, and he moved his hands to say surprise, he woulda kissed her, and they wouldnâ??t have cared. Thatâ??s the kinda love I wouldnâ??t mine, but then I have to find someone to go to the ball with. If only I could get up the nerve and try to ask SOMEONE! Then a thought came to me, maybe if I asked Shaun for some help, she could help meâ?¦. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- I know, probably not the BEST part. And at first, Shaun was going to be Demetria McKinley from â??House of Payneâ? but then I thought about Thandie (Newton), and knew both of them had that â??Shaunâ? personality or look, so for now at least, Thandie is Shaun in the story. Have a wonderful November becus this year is going by fast!!! Luv Aariyan.
