Chapter Five - Dad's New Girlfriend I have to admit the week started well. FINALLY, the promotion to Manager. It's a small step toward my dream of one day becoming a celebrity chef. The next day, Dad invited me over to his house to celebrate my promotion. When I got there, though, it seemed like no one was home. I used the spare key to let myself in to use the bathroom. It was a little surprising to hear soft jazz coming from Dad's stereo...he was always more of a rock 'n roll guy. The jazz mystery was solved the second I walked out of the bathroom and saw Dad whispering with his new girlfriend, Bella. When Dad finally noticed me, he seemed confused. "Mira, sweetie...what are you...?" "Um, the celebration breakfast? The one YOU told ME to come over for?" "Oh, Mira...oh gosh, I'm sorry...I..." "Dad, come on. I mean, you're still in your pajamas! It's the middle of the morning!" I'd had it. I'd had it with Dad's flaky behavior. I'd had it with his strange new girlfriend. So I left. There was something about Dad's girlfriend Bella I didn't like...something so familiar, yet eerie...I just couldn't figure her out. As I walked away from Dad's house, it seemed Bella was already helping him forget our argument. Ugh. Dad called later that day, but I was done. I am done. "Dad I don't know what happened to you. That woman...that Bella...she's done something to you. I can't believe you don't see it!" "Dad...no more. I can't take it. Maria can't take it. No more of you and your weird behavior, and especially no more Bella! And he hung up on me. My own father hung up on me. As it turns out, the week did end well, after all. Jupiter had been acting strange for awhile, and this week we found out why. World, meet Draco... ...and his sister, Erindana. Now Maria and I certainly have our hands full, but the two little ones are fuzzy bundles of love. Even with the distractions of Draco and Erindana, I couldn't shake my irritation with Dad. But there was more...I had this constant feeling someone, somewhere, was watching me. ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ |
