Chapter 33

After school, I picked up Rose with the girls.
"Hey Melissa, do you think that dad and Suzan are going to get married?" Rose asked.
"Uh...I'm not sure.." I told her.
"Suzan's nice. I wouldn't mind if they got married. But only until mom comes back." Rose added.
I bit my lip as the girls looked up at me alarmed. Rose is so lucky. She doesn't have anything to worry or care about.
After a few minutes, we got to my dad's house. "Dad! I'm home!" I screamed as we entered the house.
"Hi Melissa. I see that you brought some friends." my dad said.
"Yup, we're Melissa's friends. Is their a problem with us being here?" Layla asked.
"No, no. There's no problem. You girls can feel welcome. However, Suzan is over." my dad informed.
"Oh, who's Suzan?" Emma asked.
"Suzan is a very good friend." my dad answered.
We all went to the kitchen, seeing Suzan there getting out some kitchen supplies and ingredients.
"Hello, are you Suzan?" Lauren asked.
"Yes, I'm Suzan. Are you all Melissa's friends?" Suzan asked.
The girls nodded their heads.
"So, are you and Mr. Jones close enough to.... have a kid together?" Stella asked out of the blue. My eyes shot open, looking at Suzan for her reaction. Suzan almost dropped her pot.
"Why would you ask a silly question like that?" Suzan asked. Suzan did a fake laugh after that.
"No reason... just wondering. Because I could see some chemistry between you two." Stella said. I gave her a look, signaling for her to stop.
"Suzan, sorry for Stella's behavior. Somtimes Stella is a little... crazy." Bonnie said.
After that, we ate dinner with food that Suzan cooked. Suzan is actually a really good cook. We all even finished our plates.
"Okay.. how about you girls go up Melissa's room? And Melissa can give you girls some drinks." Suzan suggested.
I nodded in agreement. "What do you girls want?" I asked.
"I want lemonade with a lemon slice and an umbrella on the cup." Stella ordered.
"Okay, coke it is." I said.
The girls laughed.
We all got our drinks and then we headed upstairs to my room.
"Stella, I think you were pushing it a little." Lauren blurted.
"Hey, I can't help it. I watch a lot of goosip girl." 
"I think it's time for me to talk to my dad and Suzan. I'm going to go downstairs." I said.
I left my room, and walked downstairs, only to see dad and Suzan already talking in the kitchen. I decided to not go in the kitchen, and instead eavesdrop on their conversation.
"I don't know if this can work. What about Melissa and Rose? They are my priority." my dad said.
"Why can't we all be just one happy family? Do you seriously want to waste 6 years of our lives for nothing?" Suzan argued.
My dad remained silent.
That's when I decided to join their conversation. "Why does it matter? You won't tell me or anybody else what's going on anyways." I spat as I walked into the kitchen.
"Melissa, did you eavesdrop on us?" my dad asked.
"That doesn't matter. Dad, you been lying to me. I want you to tell me right now what is really going on. I even know about the adoptation." 
"Melissa, it's very complicated."
"No, I don't care how complicated it is. You left me when I was just a little kid, I think I know what complicated is." I protested.
My dad sighed.  "You remember when I cheated on your mother and she got mad?"
I nodded.
"The woman she found me cheating with was.. Suzan. But that was when I was drunk. And eventually, Suzan became pregnant, with my baby." my dad admitted.
"But I was too young at the time to have a baby. So we gave our baby to an orphanage. But your dad and I reunited a little later after your father divorced your mother. We started talking about what would have happened if we kept the baby." Suzan explained.
"And I felt lonely without you and Rose, since your mother didn't allow me to see you or Rose." my dad added.
"So we decided to hire a detective to find our daughter." Suzan continued.
"It took years for the detective to find our daughter. But after the detective finally found our daughter, Suzan gave her a visit, asking her if she wanted to live with us. And she said yes." my dad said.
"So she's gonna live with us?" I asked.
"That's up to you. What do you want?" Suzan asked.
