Chapter 7 - Meeting Father

When Alicia turned back around, she felt butterflies in her stomach and knocked on the door. It was her father who had answered, his expression seemed stale as his lips straightened, turning into a frown.

"Alicia? What's going on? Your 30 minutes late... "

"Yeah, I'm really sorry dad. It's just that I wanted to bring my friend Darren to the house. Darren, I'd like you to meet my dad, Chester."

Darren smiled at her father, without saying a word. He was a very charming man and usually he never had to say anything when meeting but sometimes he would. This was a different story. He was extremely nervous in the presence of Alicia's father. Would her father approve of him?

Alicia's step-father was a tall man with dark brown eyes and a built figure. He did have a belly somewhat, probably from having an occassional beer every other night. Everyone who knew him would call him Chester or just "Chest." It seemed like an odd name but Chester liked it. Chester shook his head in disbelief, glancing toward his daughter. He didn't even acknowledge Darren at this point and was incredibly frustrated with Alicia. She had been through so many things in her life but why is she making mistakes again? This was the exact thought that ran through Chester's mind. He motioned to his daughter, letting her in.

Her mother was upstairs asleep at this time. She usually wakes up very early for work and goes to bed by 8p.m every night. Alicia really wanted for her to meet Darren but she dare not wake her up. Anytime her mother awoke, she was grumpy from being awakened from her beauty sleep. Even dad didn't bother to wake her for anything, out of fear for how she would act toward him. He knew not to get on her bad side. If you have a happy wife - you have a happy life. Without that... well, you are just screwed.
