Part Time Star Full Time Dad Part-Time Star, Full-Time Dad 40 Innocent Flower

Dad had turned up and gotten himself cleaned up after. We were now waiting for the food to cook and Mary to turn up. Baby Chloe was in my room taking a nap with my clone.

"Kyle, come look at this. This is a clip from Theo's stream, just read the chat" Said Dad while I facepalm and he showed his

"Hahaha, Little Theo is all grown up. You got some 'special' fans here" Said Uncle Kyle while laughing historically and patting my back like he was proud

"I know, right? That girl, umm what's her face. .Ah, Coffee and d.i.c.k she cracks me up every time I see her name, look haha" Said, David

David then proceeds to show all of Coffee_N_D!K's obscene comments and donations.

Dad started bragging about my manga doing his best remembered every important detail with David chipping in whenever dad missed something.

Uncle Kyle had become interested, so I showed him my sketchbook and let him read it to catch up.

After catching up Uncle Kyle eyes had a very scary gleam that sent a small s.h.i.+ver down my spine.

"Theo, please tell me if you have any more pieces of work. Maybe something more attractive to adults and has more emotional depth" Said Uncle Kyle pa.s.sionately

"Huh, I know it's still early in the manga but did you not feel something from the backstory that each crew member has, what about Ussop announcing the end of his little crew it's built up perfectly or Nami being a thief for her village. It has everything you ask of and is just as attractive to adults" I said slightly insulted by the comment.

Uncle Kyle was taken back by my comment before taking a deep breath and replied "I'm sorry for indirectly insulting your work. I was just asking if you have any ideas to make a book that more inline with western society something familiar"

"Oh like mystery novels, science fiction and those deep thinking books," I said accepting his apology

"Yes, so do you?" Asked Uncle Kyle

"Well, actually no," I said causing Uncle Kyle's shoulders to fall in disappointment before I continued to say "But it doesn't mean I can't try to make one"

I began to talk to Uncle Kyle about the differences between a book and a manga/light novel. Of course, I argued that the only difference is writing style.

We argued back and forth before we came to a standstill with me asking why he seemed so desperate for me to write.

It seems that Uncle Kyle and Aunty Amy had thier own publis.h.i.+ng company. They have some authors signed to them but none of them has blown up yet and most of them are repet.i.tive.

After reading Sole Piece he saw that I had the creativity of a highly paid author, so in a way, he's putting hope on me to provide a story that will give his publis.h.i.+ng company some publicity.

I immediately had the clone that was watching over the kids to begin researching trending book themes.

I then remembered that I already have a novel in writing, called " A Thousand Days Of Lonesome Grinding" under the alias Flat_Moon which is just a stupid reference to flat earthers.

Dad, David and Uncle Kyle instantly searched for it and began to read. I went and checked on the food pa.s.sing Mom, Aunt Amy, Sam(Samantha) and Sophie who were whispering and throwing glances at me.

It was clear that they were talking about me and I can kinda guess it's about my embarra.s.sing childhood. The approving look my Mom is giving Sophie is alarming, to say the least.

After checking the food my phone rang. I see that it's from Mary and answer "Hey Mary"

"Hi, umm sorry Mr Hunt but I can't find your place," Said Mary

"Oh where you at right now?" I ask

"I'm at $%#u0026$%#%$" Said Mary

"Oh, you're just around the corner take the next left turn and just drive straight. I'll wait outside for you" I said

"Okay, Thank you," Said, Mary

I then patiently waited outside my gate until I heard the loud and terrifying roar of an engine with a weird clanking noise.

From around the corner, an old light blue Volkswagen Beetle could be seen with Mary driving it. It looked like she got it from the dump or maybe attacked on the way here.

I waved at her direction and see her respond with a nervous wave. She drove up to me, rolled down her window and said "Sorry if I kept you and the others waiting"

I was momentarily left in shock after seeing her wearing a modest yellow floral sundress that transformed her from enchanting seductress into a delicate young flower.

I shook my head and said "Nah don't worry about that we were still waiting on the food to cook through"

"Thank goodness," Said Mary in relief

She quickly parks her car and stepped out from the trainwreck that she rode in.

Once she stepped out I got a full view of my almost unrecognisable vixen of an agent that now looked as if innocent lamb.

She left her hair down just like our first meeting, no red stilettos or red lipstick, just a pair of white flats and a soft pink lipstick. The bright yellow dress enhanced her gorgeous brown skin and black hair.

She still had some cleavage but it didn't give the same look at me vibe that yesterdays interaction had.

Mary saw that I was checking her out as she gave a teasing chuckle "Hehe if you stare any longer I'll be embarra.s.sed"

I replied honestly "Well, I can't help it you look really beautiful"

Mary's face went red with my blunt and honest response as she looked away.

I grab her by the hand and dragged her towards the door. Before pus.h.i.+ng the door open I said "Try to not cause a commotion"

Mary just nods her head while looking down at my hand that was holding her hand.

I then guided her into the house and said "Everyone this is my agent Mary Wright"

"Hi I'm Mary Write and I just became Mr Hunts Agent," Said Mary with a nervous wave and an awkward smile

Mom was the first to respond as she grabbed Mary by the hands and said "I'm Theo's Mom. And you should just call Theo, Theo now that you've joined us for dinner you're a friend"

Mary gave me a wary look t I gave her a big thumbs up. I then look towards Sophie and see her eyes squinting and looking Mary up and down.

I look back to Mary and see the same look of hostility. They started at each other intently before they redirected their cold gaze towards me.

I did feel a slight chill at the combined devilish stare to which replied with a shrugging my shoulders with a happy smile.

After a few minutes, the food was finally ready. I had the clone watching the kids bring them down and then made two more clones to quickly set the table.

The food to say the least was something I was particularly happy with.

The food I cooked was as follows, Rose's favourite tuna pasta, spaghetti and meatb.a.l.l.s, 25 fat beef burgers, meat feast pizza, fruit kebab sticks, braised pork b.a.l.l.s in gravy and my personal favourite sweet and sour pork.

Oh and two large salad bowls.

The rectangular table was adjusted to fit all twelve people with it easy to adjust the size and the convenient chairs stoked in the cupboard.

Rose, Lily and Baby Chloe were sat at one end of the table with Rose and Chloe on a high chair lily sat in between them.

I sat on the side near Rose as she ate a bowl of tuna pasta and opposite me was Sophie struggling to feed the restless Chloe her baby food while simultaneously taking a bite of her burger. Lily was pigging out on the pizzas and, sweet and sour pork.

On my right was Mary she had fallen in love with braised pork b.a.l.l.s in gravy.

On a whole everyone enjoyed their meal and gave as many compliments as possible.

I was, of course, doing my own a.s.sessment on my cooking taking note of excessive seasoning or lack of certain taste.

After an hour of feasting, everyone could be seen lent back in their seat with one hand over their now bloated stomachs while groaning.

"Urgh, I can't move" Said Sophie tiredly

"Same," said, Everyone else

"Well, if you guys are too tired to go you can stay over. I have the room s.p.a.ce and I still have Rose's baby cot which can be used by Chloe" I said

Uncle Kyle and Aunty Amy look at each other tiredly and nod.

David And Sam were about to say no as they live next door but Lily quickly shouted: "Yay sleepover!!"

They then accept the idea as it would be their daughter first sleepover.

Mary started to fidget as I look to her for her answer.

Mary replied"If its not too much trouble"

After a few hours of chilling around, I hastily get my clone to start setting the beds for the guests and set up the Baby Cot for Chloe.

Lily slept in Rose's Room. They shared the chariot bed and fell to sleep after a bedtime story. Everyone had their own rooms to sleep in.

After sorting everyone out I had a nice shower got changed into my pyjama's checked on how many downloads my three songs have and then started drawing three more chapters for Sole Piece.

At 10:00 pm I laid down on my bed and got myself comfortable.

Feeling the weight and warmth of my duvet, my head sinking into the pillow I slowly drift into sleep.

Just as I was about to fall into a willing coma I was interrupted by a quiet knock at my door.

*thud, thud, thud*
