4:69 Excitable Boy

Andy looked over at the boy that Shelby had brought home. It was prom night and the two were going together.

Andy knew the two of them had been dating for awhile. He had met the boy several times, but this time things were different. He remembered the things that happened at prom.

“You rented the limo for tonight?”

“Yes, sir.”

“You are taking her to dinner before the dance?”

“Yes, sir.”

“The dance is at the school in the gym?”

“Yes, sir.”

“You bought the condoms for after the dance?”

“Yes, sir…I mean no, sir. I have no plans for needing those tonight.”

Andy couldn’t help laughing. “You two have a good time.”

He watched the two of them leave and sighed. His little girl wasn’t so little any more. She would be graduating in a couple weeks. he knew that Philip had enlisted in the military and would be leaving the week after graduation. He also knew that him and Shelby were planning to get married. He didn’t know the time frame or the details, but was sure they would tell him when they had it figured out.

He looked over at Nakusa when she slipped her hand into his.

“I will never leave to go to a dance with a boy. They are yucky.”
