Rule No. 23
Parents can't control your love for another.
Quackity!
I knock on the front door of Rosie's childhood home, my hand on my lips as I waited. I regret kissing her, what if she didn't want me too? Though I'm so glad she was my first kiss.
The door opens and I quickly bring my hands to my sides, I knew it was her father because of that familiar glare he always gave me.
"What do you want?" He gruffs.
"Uh-" I clear my throat. "Do you know who I-" her father cuts me off.
"Yeah your Alexis, I remember you, you look different. What do you want?" I was surprised I've gotten this far.
"I-I um- hello sir, I wanted to talk to you about your daughter" I hold my hand behind my back.
"Why?" He looks down at me with a disgusted look, I think that was just his normal face.
"Could we...go inside?" I look around, scared someone would notice me. "I'd like to discuss it in private"
He rolls his eyes and let's me in, I step inside to see nothing has changed. He closes the door behind us. "Sit on the couch and tell me what you want"
I nod and sit down on the broken couch. I sigh and watch as he sits down next to me. "So uh...I'd like to date your daughter" I lift my head and stare at her father.
"Ah, you're asking for my blessing? Why would I say yes, you were nothing but trouble for my daughter when you two were younger" he places his hands on his knees.
"Well..." I shrug. "Because I love her, I know I'll treat her right"
"If your still the same as you were when you were younger the answer is no" He shakes his head. "You don't have money, you don't have good clothes, you don't look like a good man" he insults me.
"Sir, all these insults are just uncalled for alright?" I dryly chuckle.
He looks down at the necklace with the cross on my neck. "The only thing I approve of" He points at the cross.
"Look, sir, I have money, I love the clothes I wear, and I can promise you I'm a good man." I place a hand on my chest.
"Yeah? What's your job? How are you making this money? Selling drugs?" He leans back.
"No!" I laugh, I had tried my best to contain my "childish behavior" but it was hard. "I'm in college, studying for law-" he cuts me off.
"Didn't expect that" he shrugs. "Looks like you'd work at the store down the street"
I shake my head. "That's kinda rude, but I have a job that makes a bunch of money" I smile.
"How much?" His eyes slim. I lean over and whisper the amount in his ear, his eyes widen and he leans away from me. "That much?"
"That much" I nod.
"You're selling drugs" He shakes his head.
"No, no I-" I giggle. "I'm not, I'm not selling drugs. I have an actual job"
"Well spit it out"
I lean back in my spot on the couch. "I work as an...an entertainer of some sort" I shrug.
"A male stripper?" He looks at me.
"No!" I laugh and throw my head back into the couch before sitting up again. "Look, I'm a streamer, you know what that is?"
"Something to do with a water stream? Like a river?" He asks to see if he's right.
"Nah- no, so- okay, it's like, I livestream games. I sit in front of a computer and play games, it sounds very childish but that's how I get my money" I explain to him.
"See, this- that job just shows you aren't good for my daughter" He points a finger at me.
"But sir, please. I promise, with all of my heart, I will treat her right, I will love her forever- I will happily spend the rest of my life with her!" I plead.
"You sure you wanna spend the rest of your life with that piece of shit?" It had been the first time he swore, I wish he didn't use it to insult her.
I stand up. "You know what? I don't need your fucking blessing to tell her I love her. I can just go fly a plane to her and confess- and you know what? I already kissed her!"
"That isn't allowed, in this family I get to allow it or not!" He yells, standing up.
"Well, your too late, I kissed her right on the lips- we made out!" I point at my lips. "I kissed your daughter- mwah, right on the li- AH!" I cut myself off when he tries to grab me.
"I'm gonna fucking kill you" He grunts, trying to grab my hood.
"She loves me! I love her!" I shout in a singing tone as he chases me into the kitchen, I could see from here he locked the front door, I would need to unlock it and run out. "We kissed! I loved it!"
"You know what? NO! I don't give you my blessing! You will never get my blessing! She will never date or marry you!" He stands on the other side of the table from me, glaring at me.
"I don't care! I treat your daughter better than you do! She loves me more!" I yell as he runs around the table towards me, I run to the other side.
"You bitch, she will never love you! She will never say yes to your male stripper ass!" He slams his hands on the table as he catches his breath.
"Come on, I'm not a stripper." I stand up straight. "But I love her and I know for a fact, she will never even listen to you! She's a woman, she's beautiful and I promise you-" I place my hands on my table. "-I will treat her right, I will take care of her even if she doesn't ask me too, I will shower her in gifts and love till she dies, and if she dies, I don't know how ill survive without her..." I speak softly.
He stares at me, no, glares. "The answers still no" his reply had taken me so off guard that I hadn't realized he walked around the table and grabbed my hood.
"Come on man! I thought my speech was good" I grab my hood, trying to pull my hood out of his hands. "I love her! We've kissed already and your still saying no? I've slept with her-" he cuts me off, shoving me to the floor.
"You slept with my daughter?!"
"NO-! No! No I meant like slept in the same bed!" I correct my mistake.
"Get the fuck out of my house" He grabs my collar and pulls me to my feet, his strength always scared me.
"Fine, I don't even know why I came here. I knew you'd say no, I tried my best to resonate with you, but your to fucking rude and you hate everyone! Me especially! What did I do to you? Tell me!"
"You made my daughter happy, she didn't deserve happiness..." He says as I step back towards the door.
"You! You don't deserve happiness! You abused your daughter! She starved herself so she could be perfect in your family photos! She wanted you to love her!" I unlock the front door, opening it and stepping out. "But you didn't love her, so I'm doing it for you"
I slam the door shut.
What a piece of shit.
