My dad called on my birthday. I ignored him but then he called my mobile (I don't even know how he got the number) and I told him I'd talk to him when he talks to Cai. He sort of mumbled and I hung up.

I'm 18 now.

He just gets more and more charming.

You and Cai seem to be getting close recently. Why don't you ask him if he'd like to come around for dinner sometime, if you think he'd feel comfortable like that. I know I've not made a real effort to reach out to him, but I'd like to change that, especially as the two of you are friends.

[daniel_marlow]

I know, right?

I'll ask him. Thanks, Mum, you are great. He's really wonderful. I'd love it if you two got along.

Occasionally I feel guilty for robbing you of a stable two-parent household, but then I speak to him and all of that disappears.

He's always seemed a sweet boy.

[daniel_marlow]

...ew no. You're all I need. He's a jerk.

He really is. I feel bad for not getting to know him sooner.

Hah! Wow. What a guy.

[lightningseed.insanejournal.com]

I can't believe I had two exams on your birthday. Such bullshit. And on a Saturday. Can barely think.

Y'all right?

[daniel_marlow]

I am so not interested if he's not going to show the same interest to you. I know he's only trying to talk to me to make himself feel better anyway. And I don't think it's my job to do that for him.

Hey, also, my mum says you should come over for dinner sometime if you want to. She wants to get to know you now that we're spending more time together.

[daniel_marlow]

Sucks. When are your other ones.

Yeah, just stressed and my dad sucks.

Re: Screened

[itsajesusthing.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, that sounds like a bit of alright! I'm all done with exams, so whenever!

[lightningseed.insanejournal.com]

My last one's PE and it's today.

Yay! I'll tell her! It'll be like family dinner again. I miss that a lot.

[daniel_marlow]

Cool. Are you worried about it?

I'm all finished, though my maths one was a doozy. Went okay though.

Re: Screened

[itsajesusthing.insanejournal.com]

Well, you should both come over to my place for tea with my lot, too! If your mum wants, that is.

[lightningseed.insanejournal.com]

I think it'll be okay. Pretty sure I've memorised all the things.

I'll ask her! She should known Nonnie and Dom. It's been just us for a few years and as much as I love her, it's just so nice to know I have more family to spend time with.

I mean other than our dad. Augh.

[daniel_marlow]

Of course it will, you're brilliant.

[lightningseed.insanejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm meeting Rachel first, since we're doing it together.

[daniel_marlow]

Uhm. Do you want to go out for cake or something after? You can say no, I won't be upset.

[lightningseed.insanejournal.com]

Shit yeah.

[daniel_marlow]

Really? You don't mind going somewhere with me?

[lightningseed.insanejournal.com]

What? No?

[daniel_marlow]

I'm just making sure because I'm a crazy person.

[lightningseed.insanejournal.com]

Okay nerd.

[daniel_marlow]

Heh. Yeah.
