Once Dylan has gone to work and Ava is in school I have the house to myself. I drew myself a bath having a nice relaxing day to myself. I was drying myself off when my phone started to ring.
Me- hello?
Unknown- hello is this Mrs stride?
Me- yes, how can I help?
Unknown- we have Ava here, we need you to come and pick her up. She's been in a fight and used some very strong language
Me- of course I'll be there now
I quickly hang up the phone. Getting dressed and driving to Dylan's office. I walk in and see she's talking to some guy. 'We need to go pick up Ava' I say. She just looks at me and looks towards to the guy and scratches her eyebrow. 'Lizzie, I'm in a meeting, can't you just go and pick her up?' I stood there face filled with anger holding my arms on my waist. 'Dylan, get in the car. We need to go'. She looks between us then motions for me to wait outside. I see her shake the guys hand and walks out placing her suit jacket on walking past me.
'Keys now' she says holding her hand out for me to give them to her. 'I'm driving' I say to her. 'Just give me the fucking keys Elizabeth'. Shit she's pissed. She uses my full name when she's angry at me. I throw the keys at her hitting her chest and get in slamming the door. We sat in silence the whole drive to the school. We walked into the principal office and both sat down. Dylan on the end me next to her and Ava next to me.
'I'd like to thank you both for coming in today, I wanted to discuss your daughter's behaviour' he continued to explain the situation and I could see Dylan getting annoyed. 'So the boy said something to my daughter, pushed her and she retaliated and now she's the one being punished, is that correct?' I could see the principal starting to sweat. 'Dylan' I whispered to her trying to get her attention but she ignored me and continued to drill into the principal. Once he was distracted looking at something I turned to Dylan. 'Carry on with this and we won't be having sex for a month'. I saw her eyes widen at me and go to say something but I lifted my finger to silence her.
Once we were finally done all three of us walked out. Thankfully Ava only has to stay off school for 2 days. There goes my peaceful days. 'Are you mad at mammy?' She asks Dylan. 'No little one, she's just being annoying today' she replies. I shoot my head around and punch her in the arm. Ava laughs thinking we're joking but I meant it. She has a fucking audacity. She's the one being an annoying dick today.
