Living With A Rock Star Dad, chapter 35
I looked up to see a girl around my age maybe a bit older, wearing tight blue jeans a pink top that said "I <3 Shopping". She had blue eye shadow on and she has long blonde hair that stopped at her butt.
Oh my god. I didn't expect that.
"Hey there Emma, right this is Stella," Jason said as he went up to her and gave her a hug, and then pointed at me. I stood up so that I could shake her hand or something but she had something different in mind.
She looked at me and then she ran up to me and gave me a huge hug.
"It's so nice to meet you. I've heard dad talk about you but, you can never trust a man really can you?" She said as if it was a question.
"Err I suppose not," I said wondering if she was genuinely this nice. I looked over at Charlie and saw that she was most probably thinking the same thing.
"Oh and by the way this is my best friend Charlie. She's here to help and we have to look after her because her parents are working late," I said before and question were asked. Emma let go of me and then ran up to Charlie.
"It's so nice to meet you Charlie," she said and then she let go of her and turned to her dad.
"Sorry I'm so late. The bus came late and I couldn't find my necklace." I looked around her neck and saw a silver heard hanging there. It was really beautiful.
"It's ok," Mom said as she also went up to her and gave her a little squeeze.
"Right ready for measuring?" A woman came over to us. NO was all that was going through my mind. I don't really want to get measured thanks but there you go. Guess I'm stuck.
"Ok last but not least Stella your go honey," Tessa said. (The woman that was measuring us)
I walked u[ to her and she had a smile on her face.
"Ok then...waist...27....breasts...wow, ok I wont say that out loud in case you wont forgive me... .height... and we're done," Tessa said as she removed the measuring tape from the side of my leg.
"That's it?" I asked confused.
"Yeah I don't measure every single part of the body. You don't actually need them all to make a dress," She said as she smiled and walked over to the counter.
"Wooh can we please seethe dresses now I am dying to find out," Emma pleaded Jason.
"No its going to be a surprise for you and Stella," I looked over at Charlie and she looked even more worried than me.
A picture of an orange cake came into my head.
"But, what happens if we end up looking like a cake or something and we cant tell you because it will be to late?" Emma asked...wait...didn't I just think that.
"No you wont! I've tried to base the dress on both of your tastes" Mom said.
Oh great. Now I have a picture of a purple dress with pink flowers splated on it with a huge pink hat that says 'shopping'.
"Sorry, but, is it possible to mix our two tastes into one dress?" I asked a little worried now of what the dress might end up looking like. Emma nodded and looked at mom and Jason weird. Charlie then stood up to see what my mom's reaction would be.
"Look both of you. The dress is gorgeous. The guys (She means Tre, Billie and Dad) came over to have a look at the design before they went to pick you up from school and they fell in love... does that ease your pain of not knowing?" Mom asked. I nodded but I was still scared deep down.
"Fair enough...if guys like it that much it must be a good thing," Emma said as she sat down and began to file her nails.
There's something about Emma that makes me think I might just be able to get on with her. She isn't a Mariah twin, she doesn't act like a dumb arse, and, it doesn't look like she cares that much of what people think of her.
Awesome!
"Right...Stella and Emma you go back with Jason and Charlie I will take you home ok?" Mom said. We all nodded our heads and I gave Charlie a hug.
"She doesn't seem that bad," Charlie said.
"I know...she better not disapprove my Green Day posters though! Dad will not be happy," Charlie laughed and we said good bye again and we both went into different cars.
Jason's Car
"Hey Jason can we listen to this please...I haven't listened to it in ages," I said passing him Nimrod. Hey come on! It haven't listened to them in ages and I have to warm up ready for the concert on Saturday!
"Of course," He said as he put the CD in the CD player. Billie Joe's voice blasted out the words for Nice Guy's Finish Last and I felt happy once more. It's a great feeling.
"Stella I need to ask you something before I make a right idiot of my self ok," Emma said as she came to face me.
"Ok," I said wondering what she was meaning.
"How do you spell Billie Joe?" She asked turning a bit red. I laughed a little but understood why she was asking.
"It's. B.i.l.l.i.e. J.o.e...and his name is not William Joseph he finds that quite annoying" I said remembering one of Joey's friends calling him William. He didn't speak the poor child for a whole month.
"Oh ok thanks for that...sorry it's just...I never thought I would be meeting them so I didn't really bother to look up what was true or not," Emma said making a mental note on how to spell Billie's name.
"It's ok... so do you like any Green Day song's?" I asked.
"Well...I do like Basket case and...Welcome to Paradise...and American Idiot is really cool but those are the ones I listen to the most. Sorry to say but one of my favourite bands are the Black Eyed Peas and Gwen Staffani," She said making sound as if it was a crime to like that kind of music.
"Hey Emma don't say sorry, you can like whatever you want to like I was just thinking about the shock you will have when you enter my room," Emma laughed and I went back to drumming to Hitchin' A Ride that just came on.
In The House
"Stella dad on the phone for you!" Mom shouted from down the stairs.
"k!" I shouted back and ran to the stairs to get the phone. I sat on the top of the stairs and put the phone next to my ear.
The Conversation
"Hey Dad."
"Hey there Hero...so is she ok?"
"Yeah she is. She isn't like me at all but we have the same interest in guys witch is funny and she thinks Frankito is cute and she doesn't like people who label other people so we will have no problems"
"That's a relief...hey haven't you got a trip tomorrow to some museum?"
"Yeah...it will be ok though. I'm Charlie's partner so we will probably swap food knowing us"
"Ha ha...wooh by the way you and Charlie are sleeping over mine tomorrow ready for the concert on Saturday. Emma isn't coming because her mum is coming down Saturday to make sure she's studying and that we are 'taking care of her'...she sounds way to over protective.
"Wow poor Emma... .well I cant wait until tomorrow now... yay! I haven't stayed over your house in ages!!"
"Ok ok keep your underwear on. Oh and also tomorrow everyone will be coming back to mine for a little party to get us warmed up for Saturday so that means that Frankito will be there so no hanky panky ok?"
"Dad shut up."
"Ok ok sorry sorry. Ok I better go now ok. See you Hero. Love you."
"Love you dad. Miss you"
"Kisses"
End Conversation.
I put the phone back in the holder and went into the kitchen.
"So you know the plans?" Jason asked as he put his paper down.
"Yeah," I answered and poured my self a glass of water.
As I was drinking there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it," I shouted as I put the glass down and ran towards the door.
I opened the door to find Frankito standing there with a goofy grin.
"Hey," He said. I waved and opened the door more to let him in.
"Mom Frankito is here ok," I said as I then went into the living room with Frankito following me.
"So how is she?" Frankito asked.
"She's cool. She isn't like us though she's her own person and its awesome. She's sleeping now though...she's kind of tired." I said pointing up stairs.
"Oh bless her," Frankito said. I laughed and then snuggled into Frankito's chest.
"Weeeeeeeeeeeee" I said as I snuggled more. I felt Frankito squirm as he laughed a little.
"That tickles!" He said as he then grabbed me and started to tickle me.
"Nooooo!" I shouted as I then fell off of the couch.
"Shit," I heard Frankito say. I rubbed the back of my head and sat up.
"Owe," I said. Frankito looked down at me and pointed at my nose.
"You're bleeding" he said as he then came down to face me. I put my hand on my nose and looked at my hand. It was covered in blood.
"Oh great," I said. Frankito laughed and then helped me up.
"Come on I'll take you to your mom," He led me into the kitchen to show my bleeding nose to my mom.
"Mom," I said as I entered. She looked at me and gasped.
"Stella...ok come on to the bathroom... and you Frankito," She said. Frankito shrugged and we all went upstairs to the bathroom.
"Ok hold this one your nose and I am going to check on dinner ok," Mom said as she then exited the room.
"How is it when ever we start to have fun...I get hurt?" I asked as I was facing the ceiling with a red tissue on my nose. Frankito laughed and gave me a new tissue.
"I don't know but stay still I don't want you to hurt your self even more" He said as he held my hand that was holding the tissue on my nose. I laughed a little and I then realised the pain that was throbbing in my nose.
At that moment the bathroom door opened.
"Oh there you are," I recognised the voice as Emma's.
"Hey," I said sounding a bit stupid because my nose was clogged up.
"Oh yeah ok so Frankie-boy this is Emma, Emma Frankie-boy," I heard Emma laugh and they both shook hands with one of Frankito's hands still on my nose.
"You looking forward to being a bridesmaid then?" Frankito asked taking the tissue off of my nose and tilting my head down.
"I don't know. Because we don't know what the dressed look like," Emma said answering as if he asked the both of us.
"I know. My mom likes to do stuff like that...OW." Frankito touched my nose with his hand to see if it was ok and...well...it wasn't!
"Oops. Sorry," Frankito said wetting a flannel.
"Well it is kinda exiting but still. I want to know. Anyway Frankito...do you rub off from your dad at all?" Emma asked. Frankito was going to answer but I butted I..
"He has his moments but you have to meet Ramona now she is like Tre Cool Junior," I said remembering a time where Ramona threw all of her mothers underwear out of the window and ran outside naked playing in them all.
That was funny!! And think people...Tre Cool or what?!
"Yeah that's true actually. I do have an awesome dad and I am proud," Emma laughed and grabbed her brush that was by the sink.
"Well see you around some other time Frankito," Emma said as she left the bathroom.
Frankito put the wet flannel over my nose and he sat me down on his lap on the toilet seat.
"She's kinda awesome actually," Frankito said.
"I know. I was so relieved to find out she wasn't a Mariah mini me." Frankito laughed and then I took the flannel off of my nose.
"I think my nose will live now. Just try and avoid touching it," I said throwing the flannel in the bath.
"Tee hee ok. So seeing as your room is occupied you wanna go outside?" Frankito asked as I got off of his lap.
"Yeah ok," I said with a wink. Frankito laughed and walked out of the bathroom leading me whilst putting his hands on my hips.
"Bye mom. I'll be back in soon," I shouted as I left the house grabbing my shoes on the way. I ran to the top of the drive and then sat on the floor and put my shoes on.
"Why couldn't you have put them on inside?" Frankito asked confused.
"Dunno. Why not?" I laughed as I put my purple Dr.Martins on. Frankito laughed and then grabbed my arms and helped me off of the floor.
"The hill," I shouted as u ran past my house and turned the corner where Frankito and I sat a couple of nights ago.
"What have you drank today?" Frankito asked laughing as he finally caught up with me.
"I don't know. I am just suddenly happy," Frankito laughed and plonked him self next to me.
"Well I'm happy practically every time I am around you," I said as I started to cool down. Frankito smiled and planted a soft kiss on my lips.
"And by the way. The prank you played on Mariah today was priceless," Frankito said trying to keep in his laugh. I giggled a little with the though of Mariah with black hair.
"I know. It was good. Hey we still have to glue Tre's but to his drumming seat n Saturday," I said remembering the children against the adults prank war!
"Aye I wont forget don't worry. We have to tell Charlie and Destiny then," Frankito said.
"Hm hm. I can't wait to see Tre's face when he realises he will have to walk off the stage with his stool still connected to his but," Frankito laughed.
"Wait... .he's my dad. He is going to kill me" Frankito said saying with shifty eyes.
"Na come on look at my dad. I dyed his hair blonde. He didn't seem to care... .that much" I said.
"True... wooh I cant wait now" Frankito said shaking his butt in the grass. I laughed and then looked at Frankito. We moved closer and soon Frankito had his tongue in my mouth and I had rested my hands behind his neck playing with his blonde hair.
"Excuse me but can I have Stella back. She needs to go shopping" I parted from Frankito so quick I think I might have jumped back a week.
"Hi mom," I said looking up feeling my face turning red.
"Hey come on we need to go shopping. Just me and you." I smiled and then got up.
"See you then." Frankito said as he gave me a hug and ran off obviously feeling embarrassed as well.
"Sorry about that. Don't be embarrassed I was exactly the same when I was younger," Mom said as she then walked off. I looked at her weirdly thinking how on earth she would be making out with a guy. Bleuch that's horrible!
"Wait why are we shopping?" I asked a little confused.
"For Frankito's birthday," Mom said as is I was stupid.
Shit yeah...what the hell am I going to get him?
"Don't worry. Tre Mike Billie and Joey are coming as well. They need to get something for him as well so we are meeting them. And I think Adie is coming as well but I'm not sure. Apparently she was sick this morning," Mom said hopping in the car.
Adie sick? That's strange...
Oh my god. I didn't expect that.
"Hey there Emma, right this is Stella," Jason said as he went up to her and gave her a hug, and then pointed at me. I stood up so that I could shake her hand or something but she had something different in mind.
