When the dissmisal bell rang I nearly ran out of class. I have never packed up my stuff so quick before. I went outside and my dad was waiting for me just like he said.
"Hey babygirl."
"Hey dad." I said while getting in the car.
"Your heading to Mickey's house right?"
"Yep."
He handed me a stack of cash. "Just in cash you go out or something."
"Thanks."
He dropped me off and I went upstairs to Mickey's apartment.

Before I could even knock, the door swung open. Shuneal was standing there holding Mekhi. "What's good, Cherish?" he asked.

"Hey...hey Mekhi." I said touching Mekhi's cheek.
"Is that Cherish? Tell her gimme a minute." Mickey yelled from the bedroom.
"Come on in. You know Mickey's prolly getting all dressed up like she's going somewhere."
"Ready." Mickey said coming out looking all fancy.
"We're just going to the mall."
"I know I just felt like dressing up."
"Well let's roll."
She grabbed her keys before giving Shuneal and Mekhi a kiss. Sometimes I hated going anywhere in Mickey's car, but at least she had one. With Mickey's crazy driving we were at the mall in no time. I got there just in time for lunch and I texted Victor to let him know I was there.

"Alright, girl. Call me when y'all are done. Don't do anything stupid. I did and we all see how that turned out," Mickey said, walking me to the store's entrance as Victor approached.
"Okay, I got you, but we can't do too much during a lunch break."
"You'd be surprised... Hey, Victor," she said once he reached us. "Take care of my girl, please."

"I will." He said smiling. "Hey...you ready?"
"Yeah."
We walked side by side up stairs to the food court before ordering pasta from Sabarro. We found a table and sat down. I looked at Victor and he was smiling.
"What?" I asked.
"Sorry I'm just still shocked that you called me back and we're here."
"Well don't be. Let's talk, I think we need to get to know each other. So tell me about your family."
"I live with my parents...umm I have an older sister and a younger brother."
"Ahh the middle child. How's that?"
"It's cool I guess nothing special. What about you?" He asked.
"Wait before I say anything how old are you?"
"Eighteen. You?"
"Seventeen." I laughed. "Okay so I guess I'll start from the beginning. My mom is dead."
"I'm sorry."
"Its okay I was too young to really know her. My dad was in jail most of my life. I pretty much hopped from foster homes, but my social worker Staci has been like my rock through it all. Just recently me and my dad were reunited and I live with him now in this huge house."
"Wow so are you an only child?"
"Yep."
"So where do you go to school?"
"Morgan High."
"Wow I'm down the road at Chandler Vista High." He said confidently.
"You play any sports?"
"I played soccer until tenth grade. You?"
"No, I thought about track, but I'm not really sure."
"Do you drive or have a car?"
"Well I have my learners permit, I just have to take my test to get my provisionals. But I'm sure if I asked my dad would get me a car. What about you?"
"Yeah I have my liscense I've been driving since tenth grade. I have a silver 2010 Mercedes Benz."
"Wow stuntin."
"It was my gift when I turned sixteen."

"I think I'll ask my dad for an Aston Martin or something when I get my car."
"And he'll actually buy it for you?"
"My dad would buy me this city if I asked. He feels like he has a lot of making up to do, I guess."
"You don't think he does?"
"Not really. I mean, I could still be in foster home, but I'm not, so... we're good."

Victor took a look at his watch before continuing talking.
"You know today...well what little time we spent together was fun. Do you think we could do this again?" Victor asked.
"Yeah that would be cool. Just let me know the date and time and I'm down."
"How about dinner and a movie this Saturday?"
"Are you asking me on a date?" I asked while blusing.
"Only if you accept."
"Well I'll be ready. What time?"
"How about eight? And just text me your address."
"Okay sounds good."
Without even thinking I gave Victor a hug before getting up and waving him goodbye.

AS I was exiting the food court, I ran straight into Mickey.
"What the he- What are you doing, Mickey?"
"Watching you and ol' boy. We don't know him."
"How long were you watching us?"
"The whole time."

"You are crazy."
"And it's nothing wrong with it. So tell me what happened."
"We're going on a date Saturday."
"Where?"
"Dinner and a movie."
"Girl you have to get an outfit."
"I'm sure I have something at home."
"No a new outfit. Come on!" Mickey said dragging me into a store.

We found a cute Dereon outfit, since I wanted to keep it simple. I bought a pair of shoes, too.

Mickey was more excited than I was to get an outfit all picked out. We left the mall and I called my dad to pick me up from Mickey's.

"Call me tomorrow," Mickey said as she walked me to my dad's car. "Hey," she said to my dad as I climbed into the car.
"Hey, Mickey," he said.

"You have fun?" My dad asked as he drove off.
"Mhmm." I said trying to contain my smile.
"What has you smiling? Or should I say who?"
"No one."
"Go ahead and tell me."
"I met with Victor today."
"And?"
"We're going on a date Saturday, dinner and a movie."
"Oh really. Will I get to meet him?"
"Yes he'll be picking me up."
"And did you get his age?"
"Yes dad he's eighteen."

"Oh, okay."
When we pulled up to the house, I grabbed my bags and took them to my room. When I went back downstairs, Staci was there.

"Hey Staci what are you doing here?" I said as if I didn't know. She looked at my dad and smiled.
"Hey. You know I think its something I need to tell you." She said assuming I wasn't hip to her and my father being together.
"What's up?"
"Well you know how much I've been around lately right."
"Uh huh?"
"Well me and your father are together now."
"What!! That's so good." I said overly excited.
"He told you didn't he?" She asked.
I looked at my father and said "yeah."
"You said I could tell." Staci said hitting him in the chest.
He started laughing "Sorry I couldn't hold it in."

"Well, I guess she had to find out sooner or later." She turned to me. "How do you feel about that, Cherish?"

"Its cool ya'll are grown people so have fun."
"Well that went better than expected." Staci said.
"I told you." My dad chimed in.
"Oh shut up you told her already."

"I would've felt the same way if I was just finding out. It's cool."
"Well, I'm glad you feel that way. I wouldn't jeopardize our relationship for anything. If there's a ever a point when you feel like me and your dad's relationship is getting overwhelming, let me know."

"Okay. So what are you two up to tonight?" I asked.
"We were thinking we could all play soime cards." My dad said.
"Oh cool. By the way what's for dinner?"
"Whatever you want."
"Can we order pizza?"
"Well the chef can make it if you want."
"Nah I'd rather order."

"Okay. From where?"
"Papa Johns."
"Alright." He pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number. I thought he was calling Papa Johns but he actually called the chef to find the number and make the call. He told her to order two pizzas, one pepperoni and one cheese.
