I was lonely, so I adopted Andy.
They said once you're 18 you can legally adopt a child. At first I thought I was gonna be a mother that I never got to experienced trope.
But then I heard that there was this 17 years old girl that never got adopted. And she's... Perfect.
It never felt like I'm a parent. In fact Andy felt like... She's a friend I wished I had. She always stick with me. At school... And obviously she lives at my house with my parents who accepted her.
And what happens when there's a person who have the same maturity of yours... Get along with you so well... And you're gay?...
...
I started to noticed something.
One time, I heard a commotion at the classroom. I got inside, squeezing myself to see what was happening.
"That's weird." One of my classmate said who's Alexis.
"What do you mean?" She asked... It was casual, but something about it send chill down to my bone...
"Marrying Jane? Didn't she adopted you?" Alexis said flustered...
Then Andy walked towards him, then she grabbed the flower from Alexis hand, throwing it on the floor. "That's why it's a joke. Are you a child? Can't take a joke seriously?..." She replied... With that wicked smirk.
Two days passed, Valentine was over, but then Alexis gave me a flower after school, and he ran, as if he's afraid he would bump into someone. I stood there... Confused.
Then out of nowhere, Andy grabbed the flower from behind me. "Seriously..." She looked at it, judging it with her own eyes...
Then out of nowhere, she was about to throw it on the trash!
"Hey! Don't..."
She paused, her eyes looked straight at me...
"Do you want a flower so bad you'd accept it from someone like him?" Her voice was sharp...
"What... I—"
"—I'll buy you one... A bigger one."
"Huh."
...
Yep... There was so many.. many weird things. And honestly, Andy herself is really a trouble maker. And my mom would joke about how she's supposed to be my 'responsibilty' since I was the one who adopted her.
And that always pissed me off. But. Andy is even more worse to take it.
I remember that dinner night.
"Honestly... Jane is slowly becoming a real mom whenever she scold Andy." Dad joked. Andy's carefree attitude suddenly faded...
"No. I never once see her that way." She said, her eyes watching me...
And just like that... The dinner night was awkward...
...
With all of that signs... I'm not surprised she'd say stuff like now.
"I like you."
Honestly... I would've said it first. She just beat me out of it.
"And I know... It's not a great thing. Since you're supposed to be a parent to me, even though our relationship was never like that."
But I know that this is wrong...
I stood up... "I... Gotta go..." I turned my gaze away, her eyes is too risky to be seen. I might mess everything up.
Yet... I felt her sadness thick around the air... And panic rushed through my spine.
"I—"
"—forget I said anything, it's probably just a phase." Her arm wrapped around my shoulders, her own weight dragging me down."I usually say goodbye to it every week." She joked with a goofy side grin...
I scowled. But honestly... I felt relief, that it didn't ended up in the worst case scenario... And that is losing her.
...A month Later...
"Probably my longest phase yet, longer than my emo phase."
How did I ended up here?...
I'm strangled by her in her own bed. Both my hands above my head as she gripped it with her one hand... And I couldn't fucking move it...
"Andy Robert, you're grounded." I said... Glaring. She leaned close... Rubbing the edge of her lips against mine. Then I felt her lips smirked.
"Oh no... At least I'd still have you here... All week."
So this is the roleplay she wanted? The one she begged me for, because she said she never had her own childhood.
