Ken sighs to himself as he sits in his chair sipping a beer as he stares at the tv. It was a Sunday and he was enjoying his time watching tv. It was one relief he had and not worrying about his daughter. Though he could hear noise coming down the stairs as he looked up seeing Oliver, his daughters boyfriend enter the room giving him a nervous smile. "Oh uhm, hi Mr. Miller." He says looking at Ken as he gives a grunt and a nod. Ken didn't like his daughter's boyfriend too much but it was worse when he had to get her pregnant.
Oliver was always pretty nervous around his girlfriend's dad as it seemed like he hated him. Though as he looked at the tv he saw the game as he looked at the score. "Oh so the Kangaroos are up. Aren't you a fan of them or something." He asks moving more into the room staring at the tv much to Ken's annoyance. "Yes I am, you know this Oliver now what do you want?" He asks clearly annoyed by Oliver ruining his viewing experience.
Oliver's eyes widen scared by how Mr. Miller was acting as he rubbed his neck nervously. "Well uh I didn't need anything, just Layla suggested I start hanging out with you a bit..." He says as he looks up to see Mr. Miller looking at him with a stare. "No." Ken says as he looks away from Oliver his gaze going back to the game as Oliver rubs the back of his neck moving over to the next room.
Oliver enters the kitchen as he quickly moves around the corner reaching for his phone as he calls Layla. He really needed to talk to her about how her dad hated him.
Though during this Layla was out with her mom Tara doing some baby shopping. They were both enjoying it since unlike her husband Tara was excited to get a grandchild. Though as they chatted suddenly Layla felt her phone buzzing. "Oh one second mom." She says reaching taking it out as she see's her boyfriends contact. "Oh that isn't really a good sign." She says as Tara raises a eyebrow. "Why is your boyfriend calling you not a good sign..." She says as Layla becomes a bit embarrassed, "Well I may have told him to try to hang out with dad."
As Tara heard this she rubbed her head, "Sweetie, you told your boyfriend, who your father doesn't like by the way, to try to hang out with your father while hes watching football?" She asks to be met by a sheepily nod by Layla as she answers the call. "Oh hey babe... whats going on?" She asks hoping it wasn't what she thought it was.
"Babe I tried to hang out with your dad but he didn't want to hang out with me. And I think hes really pissed with me, how much longer till you are home!" He asks in a panic
"Well I mean me and my mom have about another 5 minutes of shopping plus a 15 minute ride home. Plus I mean it can't be that bad, I've endured his annoyance." She replies glancing at her mom giving her a stare.
"Yeah well you are his daughter, so it can't be that bad. But me, I'm your boyfriend who he despises. So uh please get back soon before I end up missing." He says before glancing out of the kitchen seeing Ken distracted by the tv.
"Oh come on sweetie, if he only got to know the real you he would love you! Just got to get close to him." Layla replies as Tara reaches grabbing her phone and putting Oliver on speaker.
"Oliver, this is Tara. Ken as much as I love him is pretty stubborn and can't see pass his ways. You will have to indulge him by seeing him from another perspective. Have you heard about a new pharmacy drug being tested?" She asks glancing at Layla as her eyes widen.
"No mom, don't you dare get him to use that!" Layla says going over trying to grab her phone.
"Huh? What are you talking about Mrs. Miller?" Oliver asks confused as he hears fighting over the phone.
Tara moves back keeping the phone out of Layla's reach as she stares at her. "Layla young lady don't you attack your mother. Don't you want your father to get to know your boyfriend. This is probably the fastest way!" She says as Layla sighs nodding. Tara smiles as she goes back to talking, "Well Oliver there's a drug being tested for recreational use. It is able to swap bodies between two people using it. It is like a pill with two color halfs. One person swallows one half, one swallows the other and boom they swap. So what I am suggesting is you swap with one of us." She says confidently.
"Wait what? Swap bodies with one of you but who?" He asks a bit nervous.
Tara smiles as she exclaims, "Well you should swap with..."
