Firefly
Chapter 6
“You’re back early,” Grandma told me. She sat in her usual spot, over the counter, knitting.
“Uh, he got food poisoning,” I explained, putting my wristlet down.
She chuckled. “I’ve had plenty of relationships that ended because of that.”
“Oh, I’m not totally breaking it off with him,” I explained. “We’re going out on another date.”
She tilted her head at me. “Why?”
I laughed awkwardly. “He couldn’t control getting food poisoning. I had to give him another chance.”
I saw the way she was looking at me. “You really like him.”
“I mean, he’s cute,” I told her, feeling my cheeks getting red and biting my lip, looking away from her.
“Of course he’s cute!” she exclaimed, “Or you wouldn’t want to see him again after something as embarrassing as that.”
“I didn’t care about him getting sick,” I clarified. “I work around people throwing up all the time.”
She dipped her chin at me. “Does he know about that?”
“Know about what?” Kayla asked from the couch, putting her book down.
“Where you work,” Grandma explained, still speaking to me.
“Why does that matter?” Anna piped in, now fully involved in the conversation.
“Kayla,” I sighed. “I was talking to GG. Not to you. Could you not intrude?”
“It’s a small house,” she informed me, “It’s not exactly easy to keep secrets.”
“Please,” I moaned, “Just go to your room.”
She rolled her eyes at me and skipped off into the other room, but she didn’t shut the door.
“Did you tell him?” Grandma demanded.
“No.”
She shrugged her body and rolled her eyes. “Lizzie!”
“It didn’t come up in conversation. What do you want me to do? Just out of the blue announce I’m a prostitute?”
“What’s a prostitute?” Kayla called from the floor of her bedroom.
“Kayla!” I called. I heard her giggling and her door shut.
“You know, Lizzie, you’re going to have to tell him eventually.”
I sighed, looking away from her. “I know, Grandma. I know.”

So um there's a chance I could be kicked out of my house on Monday. Legal issues and sh.t.
So, I will try not to let it disrupt my posting, but if I don't update for a few weeks after this upcoming Monday, it's because I'm not in a regular living situation, and I don't have direct access to either my writing or Witty. Just thought I should give you all a heads up (:
I still love feedback!
*I do not notify, please don't ask.*
