Life is fun when you’re 18 and when your friends have hot parents. Shay would know that. I mean, Shay’s friends would know that. Just ask them why they loved hanging out in the DeLoughrey resort after school, every single day. Girls, you’re 18, calm down and find someone your own age. And Shay, sweetie… do something about it. Can’t you see how they are all drooling over your dad? Ew. Was Dorian seeing that? No. He was never obsessing over someone’s father when he was younger so don’t blame him. He was also being a good dad, wanting his daughter’s friends to have a nice time so he’d always make sure they had everything they needed, would always be nice and there to help.
But those girls… they knew what they were doing. Shay had a nice room. Shay had the nicest, biggest room but noooo. Living room was perfectly fine for them. You know what was even better? Shay’s backyard and pool. Oh how nice that was… especially when her mom and younger sibling weren’t home… but that sometimes meant her dad also wasn’t home and that wasn’t fun… Look, they did love Shay because she was Shay but don’t blame them for having something else they could look at. [color="lightsteelblue”]”Shay?”[/color] By now Dorian should get used to seeing her friends around the house but he was a little surprised when he got back home from the gym and found them all there, on Sunday. It’s fine, it’s fine… [color="lightsteelblue”]”Oh, hello,”[/color] a sweet smile apparently on his features as Dorian adjusted his gym bag, standing right there in front of them, without a shirt on. That’s… a little uncomfortable. At the same time they all greeted him back with their British accents, their bright smiles and subtle hair twirls. [color="lightsteelblue”]”Mom is coming back later,”[/color] now only focusing on his daughter, he continued. [color="lightsteelblue”]”I would’ve ordered you something if I knew-”[/color] [color="mediumorchid”]”Shay already did that, mr DeLoughrey, no need to worry about us.”[/color] Oh, okay, cut off his conversation with his daughter. A sweet little girl spoke up, a smile not leaving her lips as she tried to stood up from the rest of them and reassure Shay’s lovely dad that they were fine. That everything was perfect… Now it was. ”Alright then.”

It’s been a while and the girls were still there. With Zoe and Aidan being with their friends and Jess going to see her family that day, taking their younger kids, Dorian was left all alone in a house full of Shay’s friends. He wasn’t complaining, don’t get him wrong… He loved that his daughter had so many friends and that she was having a fun time but he was soooooo bored. All of his friend were busy, he was on a break (went back to soccer after a long time) and his wife wasn’t home. Siiiiiight.
Don’t worry Dori, that won’t last long.
Getting to the kitchen to grab something to eat, Shay’s friend from earlier magically appeared… It wasn’t magic, she heard him there and took a chance to leave her friends when they all said how they needed some more drinks. When Dorian looked back at her was when she pretended to be surprised, act as if she didn’t know anyone was in there. [color="mediumorchid”]”I’m… sorry. Shay told me to grab us something else to drink.”[/color] Simply nodding, Dorian walked over to the fridge, opening it for the girl. [color="lightsteelblue”]”Whatever you need.”[/color] ”Anything works, really-” Before she could add anything else with her cute little innocent act, Dorian took out the first thing he could grab since… anything works. But the girl did’t take it. She was just standing there, staring up at her with her sparkly eyes and a smile… Uhm. TAKE IT, what are you doing? Dorian himself was a little confused to say anything but luckily he heard the front door opening, meaning his wife was finally back. A smile reappeared on his lips as he heard his kids running and his wife’s voice, putting the drink down on the counter and leaving the girl standing there alone.
