Lyndsey, your high school child's friend
by: Unknown
"Hi girls, come on in." you say ushering the girls through the doorway. You were fairly certain you were being paranoid but ever since you had taken that money you couldn't help it.
"Can I get you something to eat, drink?"
"No thanks." your daughter said.
"Oh I'd love something thanks." said Lyndsey
"Well I'm going to go grab a shower then." said your daughter. They were both on a sports team and looked it. Both now fresh from practice you admitted they were both girls you would have fancied in high school and both girls who would have beat you up in high school.
Your daughter went upstairs while you lead Lyndsey into the kitchen to whip something up for her.
"Liz was telling me her Mum is taking her away to Ibiza this summer." said Lyndsey.
"Yeah I'd heard." you said glumly. Your wife had always been more successful than you and when you had split up she had taken most of what you had. That was why you had taken the money and knowing that you weren't the same whimpy kid from highschool you quickly said. "Yeah but that's nothing compared to where I'm taking her for new year." you said with a twinkle. You might not have been able to impress someone like Lyndsey in High school but you bet you could now.
"Where's that McDonalds." she said laughing.
"No. I haven't quite decided yet. maybe Rome or Venice. Maybe both." you said smugly.
"And how are you going to afford that?" she asks.
"I have my ways." you say slyly.
"What like robbing people?"
You cough "what are you on about?"
"You've got no money and yet your promising to take your daughter to Rome for New Year?"
"Grown ups have ways Lyndsey."
"And youre a grown up now?"
"Yes I am young lady and you will not speak to me in that tone?" you say glaring at her.
"Won't I? You know it's funny, Dan! If Lyndsey wants anything she has to go to her Mum but all of a sudden she's been coming to school in new kit, talking about you promising her a car for her Birthday and now taking her away on Holiday. Funny considering what's happening in the news recently isn't it. The first national bank loosing all that money. Where do you work again Dan?"
You froze, she didn't know anything you were sure of it.
"Are you implying I took that money?"
"No I'm not implying anything." she said. "I'm saying your a piss poor father and your an even worse thief." she said through a smile.
