"Why didn't you tell me before?" I closed my eyes and pushed my head back into the headrest in frustration.
"It's not your house, honey." My mom's eyes didn't move from her steady gaze on the roadway. "Your father has known him forever. Longer than he has known me. It wouldn't be right of him not to offer to let him stay."
"But you could have told me so I know what I'm coming home to! Instead of as we're coming home."
"You still would be coming home even if you knew, Marie."
"You don't get it, Mom."
"What I get Marie is that you have to remember you're not in a dorm anymore. You're living at home this summer with your family. You're going to follow the rules and you're not going to give me, your father, or our guest any attitude or dispresect." Her eyes darted quickly to me and then back. "Is that clear?"
My response was barely audible. Summer vacation was supposed to be my reward for a busy two semesters of hard work. It was supposed to be lounging by the pool, seeing my girlfriends...it wasn't supposed to be sharing a room with my little sister and sharing the house with some guy I haven't even met before.
"I said is that clear, Marie? I'm not trying to be a bitch, I know it's rough coming back home after doing your own thing for the last eight months, but this is the way it has to be."
"Ok, Mom."
"I'm glad to have you home, even if it's only for a few months. We all missed you, especially Kelsey." Kelsey was my little sister, a sassy yet sweet girl who practically idolized me. I had missed her, too. She would be in school during the day for another month or so. I was counting on that precious quiet time.
"I missed you guys too." I looked out the window and saw the familiar building, the roads that led to our house. She had waited till we were about five minutes away to tell me about our houseguest. I shook away my disgust and prepared myself to re-enter family life and to meet this long lost friend of my father's.

I'm looking for a male to play the friend of the father. I'd like to keep all of the family members (mom, dad, sister) as NPCs at this time. I have certain ideas in mind about how I would like this to go, but I would like to collaborate and thus I haven't written a lengthy and detailed introduction. I would like there to be a romantic and/or sexual relationship that evolves between the two characters. Whether the affair will last only the summer or go beyond is up to us. If you're interested in writing with me, please send me a PM. You have a lot of room to create a character, please send me your ideas. Please do not post here.
