I decided to have a chat with Liam after dinner. “Liam,” I asked, knocking on his door, “Can I talk to you?” Liam gladly opened his door for me, taking a seat back on his bed. I joined him and broke the ice by asking, “Do you like me Liam?”

“Of course! You’re like a part of my life. I’ve known you for like…ever.” He exclaimed.

“What would you think of me being your dad?”

“Oh that would be so sweet! I mean, though you already are like a father to me, to make it official would be…wow.” Liam grinned from ear to ear with excitement.

“Alright, so I guess I have your blessings in proposing to your mom.”

“Of course.”

“So now about that girl of yours…” I began and Liam immediatly blushed at the word “girl”. “She’s just my friend,” He weakly fought back. I laughed, “Alright whatever you say. Just don’t do anything bad with each other…”

” Ew Joel!” Liam gasped. It was meant to be funny but at the same time a warning. Hopefully he’s read enough about AIDS to know one way of giving it.
