stands there nervously sorry i didn’t mean to be so late
don’t apologize just stand there.
he looks you up and down
and tell me where you have been
im a very handsome 19 year old black man I was at work. it's my first day there
Marcus doesn’t believe you at all and he crosses his arms over his chest as he looks at you
Your first day would have ended hours ago, why are you just getting home now?
I walk inside my room and take off my shoes
he follows you into your room
don’t think you can just come home late without any consequences
I'm an extremely cute 16 year old boy sorry dad, I lost track of time...
he looks at you up and down and shakes his head
don’t give me that bullshit I said 10 o clock and it’s almost midnight
come here
Marcus’s wife (my mom comes downstairs and tells him that I was at the store getting dinner ingredients*
Marcus looks at your mother and then at you
is that true?
my eyes widen what? but I’m not even-
he grabs your arm firmly
don’t try and give me an excuse, i don’t want to hear it. you’re grounded and you’re going to get a spanking for being late.
Marcus sees that I’m his daughter not son
Marcus looks up surprised
oh my apologies I thought you were my son
he looks at you up and down
still why are you late
I told you… I say reluctantly there was a party at school and I wanted to go
Marcus grabs your arm as soon as you walk through the door
did I say you could go to the party? no you didn’t
I say as I pull you towards the couch
you’re in big trouble
sighs heavily Sorry father, I didn’t realize it was so late…
you always say that “i didn’t realize it was so late” you always make excuses and every time its the same thing
you’ve been grounded for two weeks already but im giving you one more chance
sit on my lap
I look up at him and smirk I told you i was going to a party.. and I’m back before my curfew
that doesn’t change the fact that you snuck out.
I grab your arm and pull you into the living room
come sit down
