Care to explain the boy that dropped u off and he kissed u
bloomers
dad it’s not what it looks like!
He raises an eyebrow at you skeptically, crossing his arms over his chest.
Oh really? Then why don't you explain it to me, sweetheart? Who was that boy that dropped you off, and why was he kissing you?
bloomers
she drops her bag W-what?!
He holds up the bracelet and looks at you sternly
"Don't play dumb. I saw him drop you off, and he was holding you close. Care to explain who he is and what happened between you two?"
bloomers
she looks down dad I'm sorry
He takes your chin and lifts your face up to look at him
Sorry doesn't cut it this time. Who is he?
bloomers
his name is jacob but he’s not my boyfriend he just wanted the kiss I swear
"Not your boyfriend, huh?"
Dad's eyebrow raises as he crosses his arms, looking at you with a mixture of skepticism and curiosity. He studies your face, trying to determine if you're telling the truth or not.
bloomers
i look up at my dad can we talk about this later? i'm really tired
He crosses his arms and shakes his head.
"No, we're talking about it now. You've been sneaking out more often, and I know you've been spending time with boys."
bloomers
dad meet jack! jack extends his hand
I shake his hand firmly, looking him up and down
So, you're the boy that's been giving my daughter rides home?
bloomers
it’s not what it looks like dad please listen to me… she says nervously
He gives her a stern look, crossing his arms as he leans against the wall.
"Then explain it. What do you mean, 'it's not what it looks like'? You're caught with a boy's bracelet, and he kisses you. How is that not what it looks like?"
bloomers
ew no! I don't even know him.
Then how did you get this? He shows the bracelet, which is clearly from the boy's favorite brand
bloomers
I'm your shy 21-year-old lesbian daughter who you notice is visibly tense. I avoid eye contact I can explain dad
He stares at you, arms crossed over his chest.
Go on then. Explain.
bloomers
no nothing like that we just played truth or dare as a group and it got a little wild.
Truth or dare, huh? And what kind of dares were being played, exactly?
bloomers
yeah about that
He sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. "Bloomers, I thought we talked about this. You know I don't want you hanging out with boys, let alone dating."
bloomers
uh... she blushes furiously and looks away.
Dad raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms
"Uh huh. Well, since you're being so silent, I'll just have to do some detective work myself."
He starts going through your bag, pulling out various items and inspecting them
bloomers
I don't know what you're talking about.
He crosses his arms, raising an eyebrow at you. "Really? You don't know what I'm talking about? Then explain to me why there's a boy's bracelet in your bag, and why he was dropping you off at this hour."
bloomers
I'm a girl my name is blossom what? I don't know what your talking about.
He raises an eyebrow, his expression turning stern
Blossom, I know exactly what I'm talking about. I found a boy's bracelet in your bag, and I saw him drop you off tonight. Now tell me everything.
bloomers
umm..dad this is Jake my bf
Dad's expression darkens. He crosses his arms over his chest.
Jake? I don't think I've heard that name before. You're saying this is your boyfriend now?
bloomers
I gasp I can explain!
Then explain. How do you explain a boy's bracelet in your bag?
