Revelations

chapter four

"Bye, everyone," I said as I left the house. Jo's Dad was giving me a lift home. He walked past me to open the passenger side, ushering me in, then he ran round to the drivers side. Getting in he checked the mirrors.

"Thanks for having me. It's been great for my first time."  I looked down feeling slightly embarrassed. He ruffled my hair and I giggled.

"It's been a real pleasure, hon. You have made quite an impression on my family. Please....call me Drako. I would love to have you round more often." I smiled at him.

"I'd like that a lot." As we drove home he asked all about my likes, school and my family, trying to make conversation with me,

It was nice to have an adult conversation with an adult other than my Mum or Dad. When we pulled up outside my house I said thank you again, we said our goodbyes and I got out.

Dad was on the doorstep, he waved and he took me into a warm embrace.

"Hey, pumpkin. How was your day?" I snuggled in close and giggled.

"Pretty amazing, Dad. I had the best day ever." He almost jumped for joy.

"Oh, baby, I'm so glad. I told you things would get better, didn't I? , You're my special girl no matter what. Get  in before you catch a cold."

I laughed, "Yes, Dad."

The house was warm, cosy how homes should be. It was just a box standard cottage on a private road.
It was nothing like Jo's, but it didn't have to be, it was just the three of us! Mum was on the couch watching soaps. She looked up and smiled.

"Hey you! I'm so happy for you, hon. Finally the break you need." I was gleaming, I was so happy.

"Yeah it was, Mum, Jo is great you'll love her. Right, I'm off to bed. Night Mum. Night Dad." I kissed them both as they said their good night's. Heading for the sanctuary that is my bedroom, I couldn't wait to slip into my king divan. I got undressed placing my uniform over the back of my chair. I slipped into bed And within minute's I was gone.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! My alarm was going off, no way! I'd just closed my eyes how could it be going off already, but as I looked over to the alarm clock sure enough it was 8:03am.

Where did the night go? Oh yeah! I remember I was dreaming again. I was at that same party. The one in my last dream. I was wearing a designer dress and the guy I came with was standing over by the bar.

I decided to walk over to him. I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around. Holy cow it was Leighton!

Throw it to the back of your mind Gracie, It's never gonna happen, my subconscious agreed.

"Yeah that's right Gracie, you don't stand a chance if he smiles out off pity." Yeah maybe that's right, but my heart felt differently. They say the heart wins over mind, or mind over matter. One of the two, I headed for a shower.

My mobile starts to ring just as I got out, I run out of the bathroom grabbing my dressing gown. "Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me" was playing louder and louder.

I picked it up and pressed the green button, "Hello?"

"Hey babe, my brother asked if you want a lift to school? It's on our way." It was Jo.

"Yeah sure give me fifteen I'll be ready."

I couldn't believe it, I was getting a lift from the hottest guys I'd ever seen. Well, except Leighton of course. I giggled to myself.

"OK cool. Meet you in fifteen." The phone went dead.

I finished getting myself dressed. Today I wore Jimmy Choo. I did love my perfumes.
