11:00 A.M.
18 year old Stacey was up in her bedroom getting dressed for the day. It was the beginning of summer and fun times ahead for the fiery redhead. Stacey stood about 5'6'' with a body that was quite toned from playing soccer and some volleyball the past year. So far the hardest decision was which outfit that she would be wearing to the mall with her friend Jessica that afternoon.
Knock!! Knock!!
"I will be right down!" Stacey yelled down the stairs. Jessica must have gotten up quite early this morning she thought to herself.
Knock!
Knock!!
Knock!!
"I'm coming!" Stacey blurted out as she hurried down the stairs. As she entered the foyer she saw the silhouette of a man through the curtains on the door.
"Oh great." Probably just another annoying salesman this early in the morning she thought to herself.
As Stacey opened the door she heard a familiar voice.
"Good morning Stacey! Looks like I woke you up!"
Unbelievable she thought to herself. Standing on her porch was her 61 year old neighbor from across the street. Mr. Davis. He was a tall, lanky former professor who made no secret that to him Stacey was an out of control child.
"Can I help you?" Stacey asked in a bit of a rude manner.
Mr. Davis stood there for a second looking her up and down. "Do you always get so dressed up to answer the door young lady?" He obviously wasn't too impressed with the tank top and the white sleep shorts that she was wearing.
"I was getting dressed and I thought that you were Jessica coming to pick me up to go to the mall!"
Mr. Davis still stared at her while he rubbed his chin. "Oh you think that since your parents are gone for the week it is all fun and games?" He rubbed his stubbly chin. "What time is Jessica picking you up?"
"In an hour, so I should probably be getting ready." She waited for him to leave.
"Is there something that you needed?"
"Yes as a matter of fact there is young lady." Mr. Davis took a step toward her and she backed up. "We need to have a bit of a chat before Jessica arrives. Are you going to invite me in?"
"Fine but I don't have all day." She opened the door the rest of the way and Mr. Davis followed her in and closed the door and locked it behind him. He took a seat on the couch in the living room and motioning toward the love seat across from him, told Stacey to have a seat.
Stacey rolled her eyes as she sat down. "Well???" Mr. Davis again rubbed his chin and began, "I had a chat with your parents before they left for vacation yesterday. They are quite concerned about your behavior and attitude lately. they asked me to keep an eye on the house and you as well. they asked me to keep a report book for the week they are gone as well," he said with a smirk on his face.
"Are you kidding me?" Stacey blurted out. "I don't need a babysitter to tell me what to do!'' She began to stand up from the couch.
"Sit down Stacey!!" Mr. Davis commanded.
She immediately sat down. "Now we are going to put some rules in place. you will be home by 10 p.m. every night. There will be no parties here under my watch. You will also not be dressing like a little tramp as well!" Mr. Davis said.
"You cannot be fucking serious!" Stacey said and again began to stand up.
"Young lady! You will sit down immediately unless you want to spend the afternoon in your bedroom! I will not put up with your behavior or that smart mouth that you have on you!"
"I'm sorry Mr. Davis, I won't swear or talk back anymore. I just need to get ready. We can talk about this later."
