Zoe, Her Father, and The Guys, chapter 4
We reached the Coffee shop, only to find Tre, ordering. I watched him and he came out with some drink.
"Hey dad," I said as I walked up and hugged him.
"Hey girl," he replied, putting an arm around my shoulders.
"Hey dad, can I have the house phone number?" I asked sweetly.
"First, yes you may. Second, why?" he questioned.
"I made some friends. He wants to call me," I simply explained.
"He?" Tre asked, with a devilish smile.
"We are just friends. He and his buds are right over there," I said, pointing and signaling for them to come over.
The obeyed and walked over.
"Dad, this is Aaron, Zac, Andy, Pete, and..." I started.
"And Little Joey," Dad cut off.
"Tre.," he said, embarrassed.
"Come on Joe. Have a sense of humor. Your dad is coming over tonight and we always talk about you or Jakob. Get over it," dad remarked.
"So dad, can you give them the number? Joey should know it though," I asked again.
"Sure. Get your cells out," dad advised.
Aaron was the first one with his out.
"555-8548," Dad said.
"Dad, while we're out, can I look at a cell phone?" I asked.
"No need to. I already got you one," he said as he pulled out a Verison Wireless Picture Phone.
"Oh Dad. Thank You," I said, hugging him, then taking the phone.
"So what did you buy?" he asked, looking down at my bags.
"Stuff. Now I need a computer," I laughed.
"We'll see for your birthday. It is only a month away," he said.
"Dad, when we get done, can I take them to the house and hang out?" I asked as sweetly as I could.
"Sure, but if I find out that one beer is taken, you will be in big trouble. All of you," he replied, as he pointed to each of us. "Especially you Joey," he continued.
"Thanks. Bye Dad," I said before I headed out.
"Bye," he said, taking a sip of his coffee.
I headed to the last store I wanted to go to, Nirvana.
I looked around with the guys.
Joey just laughed when I bought my shirt that I found.
It was a Green Day shirt with the photo that was on front of Rolling Stone Magazine.
Then, on the back, it had the guys and tour dates.
"What is so funny?" I asked with a giggle.
"It's just that your dad is Tre Cool. You can see him and the guys anytime. You don't need a shirt to see them," he said in a mile wide smile.
"Zoe, you ready to go?" Aaron asked as he snaked an arm around my waist.
"Yeah. Let's get going to my house. Tre will be home later," I answered.
"Okay. Come on guys," Aaron said as he motioned for the guys to follow him and me.
We arrived at the house.
I unlocked the door with the key Tre had given me earlier.
"Here we are," I said, stepping into the house.
"Whoa. You lucked out," Zac said, in shock.
"Yeah, I have a dad who is rich. He can cheer me up. He is a real jokester. That is my only worry," I replied, heading into the kitchen to get us something to drink.
"Why does that worry you?" Andy asked, taking a diet Pepsi from my hand.
Before I answered, I playfully and lightly shoved him as I smiled.
"Because it scares me that he won't be serious when I need him to be. Then, he gets drunk. That really, really scares me," I returned.
"Drunk people? Those scare you?" Joey asked in amazement.
"Yeah. You're probably used to it but I will never get used to it. My step dad always beat me and my mom. That's why," I explained shortly.
"Zoe, Tre would never beat you. And if he does, we will all defend you. I promise," Aaron assured. He made me smile.
I smiled then kissed him softly on the cheek. He then smiled at me.
I returned to looking at the guys. Andy was sad. I could tell by his eyes.
"Andy, what's wrong? You're sad. I can read your eyes," I asked.
"Nothing. I'll tell you later," he whispered in my ear.
I winked at him.
"So, wanna play truth or dare?" I asked, changing the subject.
They guys agreed and Aaron went first.
"Dare," Andy returned.
"I dare you to passionately kiss Zoe. You can't enjoy it either," Aaron dared, and joked.
Andy turned and looked at me and I looked at him.
He cupped my jawline in his hands and our lips clashed.
We immediately tangled our tongues and we did this for about a minute. To be honest, I really enjoyed it.
"Hey dad," I said as I walked up and hugged him.
"Hey girl," he replied, putting an arm around my shoulders.
"Hey dad, can I have the house phone number?" I asked sweetly.
