Dirty Little Secrets

“Spill.” She whispers as my dad backs out the long driveway and unlocks the gate to get out.

“I know you and Bryan aren’t just innocently staying at that beach house not doing anything, he is way too hot for you not to touch and I see the way he looks at you.” She whispers as my dad glances in the rearview mirror straining to hear our conversation.

“Mom!” I whisper loudly, she smirks. “Well were just taking it slow right now, he’s hiding something from me.”

“What is it?” she asks.

“I'm not sure, he just told me he can't tell me, I think he’s being forced to date Lauren and doesn’t even want to.” My mother shrieks.

“Is everything okay back there girls?” my father asks craning his neck to look back at us.

“We’re great baby.” Mom says in her perky voice reassuring him.

“It’s probably a business thing.” She whispers this time her voice serious.

“What?” I ask totally confused.

“Jessie love, Bryan’s step father is about to go bankrupt.” This time I shriek.

“Okay ladies what is going on,” dad says looking annoying. “Your back there whispering and screaming while I'm driving.” He says gripping the steering wheel. My mother kicks his seat; he puts his middle finger in the rearview mirror so she can see it. I laugh super hard tears rolling down my face. Im happy to see them getting along and acting like teenagers together, even though it’s very odd its better than arguing.

“We’re sorry daddy.” I mutter in my cutest voice possible.

“I suppose its okay.” He smiles back at me not being able to resist my cuteness either. My mother and I high five each other, then do out handshake we’ve had since I was little. However, her words still linger in my brain, bankrupt.

Before I can respond we pull into a glitzy car dealership, I instantly forget about Bryan’s situation and get excited. Finally! After so many years of trying I am getting my car! Since forever I have wanted a hot pink BMW so bad! I had gotten my friend to help me pick the interior too, and then I failed my drivers test and stupid religion class so it didn’t happen, my parents were pretty mad. We all jump out the car and walk into the building.

“What’s up Billy?” My dad says shaking hands with the owner, my father knows everyone.

“Wow look at you two!” Billy says looking at my mother and I “Look like twins almost.” He says giving us hugs. “I remember when you were a baby and now you’re going to college and getting a car! Wow time flies.” He says smiling at me, wrinkles at his eyes. I smile back never knowing what to say when people say stuff like that.

“Is she ready?” my dad asks looking at his watch making his time sensitive issue obvious.

“Of course! Just how she wants it!” he says walk through the all glass building, there a bunch of cars in the building they all look nice, which makes me more anxious. He stops at a car covered in a large sheet.

“Go pull it off sweetie!” my mom says jumping and cheering, as usual causing a scene, a lot of people stare at us. I pull of the sheet to reveal a glittery pink BMW even better than what I wanted! The whole inside of the car is pink. I scream and jump up and down with my mother, my dad smiles, glancing at my mothers boobs as she bounces.

“Here are the keys,” he says passing they keys, they are all glittery pink and there is a pink monkey on the keychain and my initials diamond encrusted on a key charm. I keep screaming, Billy opens the industrial door so I can drive the car out.
