A Secret Life? [2]

A secret life?
Chapter two!

''I'm home,'' said Paris, making her way in the living room. ''Miss me?'' she said, throwing her body all over dad.
''Ew!'' I muttered to myself, rolling my eyes.
''Missed you very much actually,'' said dad, returning the kisses. ''How was work?''
''Hum, it was okay, I'd rather be here with you though'' said Paris, pouring herself some WKD' from the fridge.
''Can I have some'' I said, getting up running to the kitchen.
''No!'' snapped Paris.
''Dad lets me have a sip sometimes'' I argued.
''Well,-'' started Paris.

''Not today please Silver,'' said dad firmly, sticking up for Paris once again. ''How about you and Em go upstairs and do your homework?'' suggested dad.
I stormed out the kitchen, and took a bowl of grapes and went upstairs. Emerald followed me, and shut the door.

''You OK Sis?' she asked me, sitting on her bed.
''Yea, guess so-'' I said, looking out the window, munching on my grapes.
''I guess you really hate Paris eh?'' asked Emerald, taking a grape. I nodded.

Just then I and Emerald heard ''making out'' noise from downstairs. We heard Paris screeching, and laughing and dad laughing too.
''What they doing?'' asked Emerald, moving closer to the door.
''Sounds like there making out'' I said bitterly.
''Ew, how can dad do that?'' asked Emerald quietly.
''Do what?'' I asked, confused.
''Make out with Paris!'' she snapped.
''The question is, how can dad even have another girlfriend!'' I snapped back. As soon as I said that, I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I ran back away from the door, and sat on the windowsill and Emerald dived on her bed. Our door knocked, and I rolled my eyes.

''Come in,'' said Emerald. ''Oh Hi Dad.'' Dad stood at the door smiling at us both.
''Oh grapes!'' he said, dropping some in his hand. Emerald laughed. Dad looked at me and kissed me on the head, knowing I wasn't in the mood.
''Me and Paris are going out-,'' he started. ''Would you be OK to look after Em?''
''And If I said No?'' I asked, playing hard to get.
''Oh don't be like that Silver'' said dad, nudging me on the shoulder.
''Be like what? Im asking a question'' I snapped. Dad sighed and said, ''Well?''
''Fine'' I said, jumping of the windowsill out the room, to get a drink from downstairs.

As I made my way downstairs, I saw Paris in the living room, walking up and down on the phone. I usually wouldn't care, but I was curious of her conversation.

''Just you listen, I'll come and see you soon, I promise'' she was saying.
''No don't be like that-'' she carried on, replying. There was a long pause and she was frantically walking up and down the room.
''I don't have the time!'' she snapped in a whisper.
''You don't seem to understand- OK,OK-''she carried on whispering.. There was another long pause and I couldn't help but be as silent as possible to hear what she was saying.

''I'll come and see you tonight, and I'll see what I can find'' said Paris in a whisper.
''Hello?-Hi?'' and she looked at her mobile phone and dropped it in her handbag. The person on the phone obviously cut the phone on her. She signed and sat on the sofa, opening her makeup back, applying her makeup to look more plastic (if that's even possible).

I was just about to carry on walking but dad came down the stairs.
''Out the way please'' he said, pretending to play kick me.
''Sorry dad,'' I said. ''So where you and Paris going tonight?'' I asked him, getting up of the stairs.
''Starlight Bar in town'' he said.
''Oh, the busy bar!'' I laughed. He laughed and nodded his head. I walked into the kitchen and fetched my water, as dad made his way to Paris.

''Looking dazzling as always darling'' he said to Paris looking at her up and down.
''Why thank you, and I bet you know how dazzling you look too'' she commented back giving him a kiss.
Paris phone was ringing again, and I saw her look at it and look at dad, from the kitchen. I wondered who exactly was ringing her, but I had a feeling it was the same person who rang her five seconds ago.
''Are you going to answer that?'' laughed dad, putting his man spray on.
''Erm, Nah, it's not important,'' said Paris standing up. ''Right then, lets hit the road''!

Dad kissed me goodbye, and shouted upstairs ''bye'' to Emerald. Paris just looked at me and walked past, and said ''bye'' t Emerald too. I rolled my eyes and stared at her hard, wanting her to accidentally leave her phone or something, though I knew that was impossible.
''Erm what time will you be back?'' I asked them, making my way out the kitchen.
''Not sure'' snapped Paris, opening the front door.
''Aint got a time, so if it gets late, make sure you get to bed- school tomorrow.'' said dad, and the walked out the door, holding each other, and made their way to the taxi rank. Well that was them gone! Now to spread the news to Emerald!

I ran upstairs to Emerald, who was sitting in the ''tub'' by the windowsill. The ''tub'' was our mothers, the only thing we really had of hers to keep in our room, reading her book. She laughed at my face. ''What's up with you,?'' she asked. ''Looks like you've just seen a ghost or something.''

I explained what I witnessed to my sister, and she got up and listened with all her interested.
''Who was on the phone?'' she asked me, concerned.
''I have no clue'' I told her.
''But she promised she'd see the person soon...'' I told Em.
''And what else did she say?'' she asked me.
''Something about her doesn't have the time, and the person on the phone doesn't seem to understand'' I told Emerald, remembering every word Paris said. Emerald looked confused, and waited for me to carry on.
''And- then she said she'd see the person TONIGHT, and see what she can find'' I said, finishing of my information.
Emerald's face lit up and she looked more shocked then I did. We both took a few minutes to think again and then I came up with my idea.

''We are going to start our own adventure!'' I told Emerald, grabbing a notebook.
''No wait- we can't do that!'' said EM, snatching the notebook of me.
''Why?'' I asked, snatching the notebook back of her.
''She properly was talking to her friend or something, I don't know- and its properly something not even that big!'' suggested Emerald. I looked in her face, and she turned all red. I knew she was chatting rubbish, she was just scared of the sort of adventure we would have.
''OK,'' she finally said. ''I really would love to investigate what an earth PPP was on about, but how?''

We sat back in the tub, and made loads of different plans and suggestions. And we knew this was a adventure that would never be forgotten!
