Charlene catches Andrew sneaking

Andrew had made it to the bottom of the stairs when he heard a familiar voice.

“*clearing throat sounds* What time do you call this, missy?”, Charlene asked sternly.

Andrew sighed. ‘Goddamnit, can one little thing go right for once?!’.

Andrea turned around to face ‘her’ mother.

“Heyyyy, mommy… I’m like super sorry ‘bout bein’ so late. Brian had gotten a lil’ tipsy and was driving all swervy so we went to a motel and I like passed out before I could text you. Sorry!”, Andrea explained sheepishly.

Charlene faux-sighed; “What am I going to do with you, huh? Girls will be girls I suppose; I suppose I can’t help it that my daughter is so scatter-brained! But for your poor mom’s sake, please let me know if you’re gonna be late, okay honey?”.

“Oh yeah, totally will do, mom”, Andrea replied before heading up the stairs.

‘Yeah right, looks like Mom forgot that my punishment will be ending today! It’ll break Brian’s heart, but at least Andrew will be there as a shoulder to cry on. I mean I will! Damnit!’, Andrew thought to himself as he began to ascend the stairs to his room.
