In the three days we’d been sequestered here together, she’d thought only of herself and what my being with Brianna would do to her, like what the fuck? But it was the fact that she had called Bri’s dad knowing that he was an abusive asshole that was making it easy for me to stand here and watch her cry without going to her. Plus I was pretty sure she was pulling one of her mom’s old tricks.
“I hate you, if she moves in here I’m leaving.” How does a father deal with that shit? I know my kid isn’t all bad, I’ve seen some good in her over the years. At the end of the day though, she’s gonna do what…what the fuck?
“No you’re not. You’re staying your ass here because nobody on this fucking earth loves you more than I do I don’t give a fuck what this bitch says. You take one step out this fucking house it will be your ass.”
“Dad.” Uh-huh. I saw the little smile that she wrestled back into place. Well fuck; if I’d known that that’s all it takes I would’ve done this shit a long time ago.
“How many times must I tell you pumpkin, you’re my kid, I love the hell out of you and if you don’t know this by now then you’re not the smart little jellybean I know and love.” Fuck, I can play hardball too. Those were all the names I used to call her when she was a sweet little doll who didn’t give her dad an ounce of trouble.
“But dad…” I could tell she was weakening and wasn’t sure what exactly had brought this about now, but I wasn’t going to question it.
“No buts kiddo, you’re old enough to understand certain things. The fact that I spent so much time thinking about how best to break this to you should tell you how much you mean to me, but I can’t keep hurting Brianna like this, I won’t and you’re not going anywhere.”
She didn’t say anything as her eyes flashed to Brianna and moved quickly away again. Okay, that was going to take some time but at least no one was reaching for the butcher block.
“Now Priscilla I suggest you leave, the three of us have shit to discuss and since you don’t live here I don’t see the need for you to be here, scram.” She puffed up like a damn peacock with ruffled feathers but who gave a fuck?
“It’s okay mom, I’ll be fine.” I think for the first time I actually saw a motherly look on Priscilla’s face. It didn’t last long but it had been there nonetheless. Will wonders never cease?
I didn’t bother seeing her out she knew the way. I waited until I heard her car pulling away down the drive before releasing my breath. She can turn shit on its head within the blink of an eye. If there’s shit to be done, it was always best to keep her negative ass out of the equation.
“Now, Crystal my beautiful daughter, I’d like you to meet Brianna the girl I’m going to marry. I know you’re mad right now, and I wish there was a way to get beyond that, but you’re gonna have to work through it on your own. Just know that I’m here and I’m your dad and I love you and I’m always gonna love you pumpkin.”
She still had that fuck you look about her, but what did I expect? She got that shit from me. “I don’t know dad, I’m still mad at both of you for lying to me and for…well, dad she’s my age, gross.”
“If you fell in love with someone older, would you want me to love you less for it?”
“Dad…” She blushed and looked away from me. What the fuck? “Hey what was that look?”
“What look dad?” Still blushing and now looking guilty as shit to boot.
“The one you just had on your face. What’s that?”
“It’s nothing dad.” It’s something alright.
“Are you dating somebody, who is it?” I’m gonna skin the little punk whoever he is for messing around with my kid.
“Gabriel really?” This one was rolling her eyes at me and shit. “No I wanna know.”
“Leave her alone Gabriel.” What the fuck? Two minutes ago they were mortal enemies and now what? What the fuck is wrong with females anyway?”
The two of them kind of met in the middle of the room and the fucking whispering and giggling started. I was disgusted to say the fucking least, after all the shit they’d put me through this was it? I stomped out of the room still thinking about who the fuck in this town thought he was good enough to date my daughter. I’ll have the little fuck’s nuts in a vise if I ever found out.
