you sure?”
“I’m telling you; that’s my mom’s laugh.”
I could see the shadows of two people running towards us. The giggles were getting louder as they came closer. As I got up, they both fell on the sand, laughing and kissing each other.
“Mom? Dad?” I said.
“Huh?” my dad said.
“Julia?” my mom asked.
“Yes! I knew it was you guys. What are you doing?”
“What are you doing here? We thought you were on a date?” my dad said.
“I am on a date! What the hell are the two of you doing besides embarrassing the hell out of me?!”
As I walked closer to them, my dad looked at my mom as he hovered over her, and they both started laughing. “I’m sorry, but we were going for a walk,” my dad spoke.
“Are the two of you drunk?” I asked.
“Maybe just a little.” My mom giggled.
Jake got up and walked over to me. “Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Black.” He waved.
“Oh, hi, Jake,” my dad said as he got off of my mom and helped her up.
I wanted to die. I was so humiliated. “So what are the two of you doing?” my dad asked casually.
“We were talking!” I said with gritted teeth.
“Okay. Well, I guess we should go now.” My mom laughed. “We’re sorry to interrupt your talk.”
My dad smacked my mom on the ass as she started to run back in the direction from which they came. She laughed as he started to chase her. I stood there, shaking my head in disgust at my parents’ behavior. Of all the times they had to take a walk on the beach, it had to be when I was on a date.
“I’m so sorry,” I said as I turned and faced Jake.
“Don’t be.” He smiled as he brushed my hair from my face. “I love your parents. They’re so cool. You have nothing to be sorry for.”
He pulled me into a warm embrace and held me tightly. “Can I ask you something?”
“Sure.”
“Will you go out with me again?”
I looked up at him and smiled. “I would love to go out with you again. But let’s go somewhere where we won’t run into my parents.”
“You got it. I’ll go anywhere you want to.” He smiled as he brought his lips to mine.
We talked for a couple of more hours, made out, and then he took me home. I had the best night of my life, and I couldn’t wait to see him again.
Chapter 13
I got up early because I couldn’t sleep. Jake and our date consumed my mind, plus we were texting back and forth pretty much all night. I went into the kitchen and made a pot of coffee. As I was preparing a hangover cocktail, my parents walked into the kitchen. Both of them looked like shit and really hung over.
“Why are you up so early?” I said in a loud tone.
“Why are you being so loud?” my dad whispered.
“Good morning, sweetheart. We heard all this racket down here and we wanted to see what was going on,” my mom said.
“Both of you sit! Now!” I commanded as I pointed at the table.
They looked at each other, walked over to the table, and sat down. I set two glasses on the table and poured the cocktail into each one. I slid a glass over to my mom, then I slid a glass over to my dad.
“DRINK.”
“But,” my dad started.
“No buts. Now drink it up.”
My parents’ looked at each other as they picked up their glasses. “Gee, I can’t imagine where she gets her attitude from,” my dad said to my mom.
She made a face at him as she held up her glass. “Cheers!”
I walked over to the coffee pot and poured three cups of coffee as I began my speech.
“We need to discuss the events of last night and how you embarrassed me. What were you thinking? Not only were you behaving like lovesick teenagers, you were drunk on top of it. Do you know how that looked in front of Jake? Do you have any idea how humiliated I was and how I had to apologize for your erratic behavior? Who’s the adult here? Because I know it’s neither one of you,” I said as I waved my finger at them.
“Princess, don’t you think you’re overreacting just a little bit?” my dad said.
“No, I
