My Urban Love Story

Chapter 8:

After lunch I decided to go home to

my Dad, I had to fix what had

happened before; after all family is

the most important thing in this

world. On the way up the elevator I

dreaded returning to my dad's

place, I was worried he wouldn't

want to see me ever again. I was

scared. No, I was terrified. But I

knew I had to face him sooner or

later. I knocked on the door, and a

few antagonising minutes of

waiting later, my Father finally

opened the door. When he saw me,

his face softened. He was no longer

angry or upset, just happy to see

me. In my head I silently thanked

my creator and I let out a sigh of

relief. I opened my mouth to

apologise and beg for forgiveness,

anything to get him to love me

again. Before I could speak, he

embraced me in a warm hug. "I

was afraid you would be upset

with me after all that happened" I

mumbled into his shoulder, "I'm

sorry, I really am, it wasn't

supposed to happen and I'm sorry"

I was sobbing, letting all my pent

up emotion out. I felt so small,

almost like a child. I missed my

family, my real family before all

the drama, so I was grateful for this

moment. I called Cameron up, and

cancelled all our plans; I needed to

get to know my Dad again.

When I was growing up, I longed to

be daddy's girl. Sadly, I was

deprived of this opportunity since

my father was never around.

Tonight was going to be that night.

We stayed up late, talking and

reminiscing. It was great to

rekindle our relationship once

more.

The next day, Cameron came to

pick me up with Lani in tow.

Apparently she had come back

from jersey last night. We went to

the local olive garden for lunch;

Lani opted to sit on my lap eating

everybody else's but hers food. I

smiled coyly, watching her for a

moment. Cameron sat across from
