Part Six

Waking up alone in the master bedroom, Peter made his way into his ensuite bathroom, had a shower and got ready for the day ahead before making his way downstairs and into the dining room where he found Asa already sitting at the table having breakfast.

"Morning." Peter greeted the blonde as he sat down next to her.

"Good morning." Asa responded with a warm smile.

"Are the girls up?" Peter asked.

"They're getting ready. Naturally Phoebe wasn't exactly happy you were making them go through with working through their suspension." Asa commented.

"Actions have consequences. Took me a long time to learn that." Peter replied.

"Trust me, I know." Asa smiled.

"Look, before the girls come down, I just want to say about last night. I'm sorry about what the Marlowe's offered, I would never have brought you if I knew they would have suggested something like that..." Peter tried to apologise.

"Why are you apologising?" Asa responded. "You didn't know and you and I can't begrudge a couple for finding ways to spice up their love life," Asa added. "We experimented plenty of times in college."

"Don't remind me," Peter sighed. "I don't even want to imagine Phoebe getting up to half the stuff I did in college."

"What did you get up to in college, Daddy?" Phoebe interrupted the pair as she and Cindy entered the room. "Do spill. I've been waiting to hear your college exploits." Phoebe continued as she sat herself down next to Cindy.

"I..." Peter hesitantly said before clearing his throat and saying to his daughter. "Maybe when you're older we can have that discussion."

"I'm eighteen. How much older do I have to be?" Phoebe fired back while Peter instead looked at a message on his phone.

"Some stories are worth the wait, Phoebe," Asa replied. "And sometimes you don't need to know everything about your parent."

"That's true," Cindy shrugged. "Besides she lacks the maturity for those kind of stories..."

"I'll show you who lacks the maturity..." Phoebe responded.

"I swear to God, its like I never got a morning off from this kind of antics," Asa said while looking over at Peter who simply smiled and took a sip of his coffee.

"Actually, it's great you brought that up," Phoebe said. "How would you both like an evening off from our antics?"

"That would be a miracle." Peter commented.

"Ha ha, very funny, Daddy," Phoebe sarcastically responded.

"What Phoebe is saying is that we're both inviting you out to dinner with us tonight at Giselle's," Cindy explained. "As a way of apologising for getting suspended right before graduation and for because one of us can't help being a spoiled brat."

"You didn't have to..." Both Peter and Asa said at the same time.

"We wanted to." Cindy said with a small smile.

"Hey! What do you mean spoiled brat?" Phoebe said as she playfully slapped Cindy's shoulder after she picked up on what Cindy had said.

"I said what I said." Cindy replied.

"Well dinner out as a family will be nice." Peter said as he looked at Asa who nodded in agreement.

"It will." Asa told the two teenaged girls.

"Great!" Cindy happily responded.

"And by the way, this doesn't get you out work today." Peter said to both Phoebe and Cindy although his eyes were fixed on Phoebe.

"Fuck," Phoebe not so quietly muttered before saying out loud. "I mean, of course it doesn't. Just happy to spend time with you and Mom tonight."
