Hi //: n.h (COMPLETED)

-Chapter 42-

-Chapter 42-

It was the first time that Bradley was meeting my father. He was coming to pick me up for our day trip with school. 

As my father is a surgeon, he works in the evening, a.k.a when Bradley has previously come over to pick me up for our dates, so this will be the first time they have ever met each other.

I wasn't nervous, Bradley was a great guy and all that, but my dad is very protective of me, and sometimes just the mere sight of him has scared people off.

I was standing by the living room window peering out, so that I could see Bradley coming.

Jake, Lizzie, Angie, Mum, and more importantly, Dad were in the kitchen. 

Finally, after what seemed like forever, Bradley came into view. He walked up the driveway, his hands in his pockets, making my heart flutter at his sexiness.

I took a deep breath, straightened out my clothes, and rushed to the front door. Before Bradley could ring the doorbell, I swung the door wide open and stepped out. I wrapped my arms around his chest and held him tight.

"Whoa... I'm glad to see you too, Cora." He chuckled.

I pulled away and cupped his cheek with my hand. "My dad's inside and he wants to meet you." I informed Bradley, who suddenly lost all his cool.

"Your... Your dad?" He repeated.

"Yep." I said, popping the 'p'.

"Oh sh*t..." Bradley trailed off. He ran his hands through his hair in a nervous gesture. 

"But don't worry. He was off all night last night and had a good night's sleep, so he's not grumpy or anything." I tried to reassure him, but I was actually reassuring myself.

"Okay... So how do we do this? Do we just go in and say hi, or will he summon me?" Bradley joked, and I smiled at his attempt to make me feel more at ease. 

"Just go in and say hi to everyone. I'm sure it will be fine, just be yourself, and well... Everyone loves you. Jake and Lizzie are in there as well and they think you're amazing, and Angie adores you. My mum loves you and well my dad has yet to meet you, but I'm sure that he will love you too! Just remember to be yourself and-" I was cut off by his lips on mine.

His fingertip slid across my face in a smooth, comforting gesture as his lips gently moved against mine. 

Bradley pulled away, but kept his forehead against mine. "Stop rambling! Everything will be okay!" He reassured me, and captured my hand in his.

"Now let's go meet your old man." He grinned, pecking my forehead before leading me into the house.

We walked into the kitchen, and as soon as I opened the door everyone's attention was on us.

"Bradley!" Angie squealed, getting up from her chair and running over to him. Angie only gave him a short warning before jumping into his arms. Thankfully, it was enough time.

Angie is twelve years old and she absolutely loves Bradley, he is like her second brother.

Mum chuckled and walked over to Bradley, kissing him on his cheeks. "How nice to see you again. I hope everything is well." She inquired after his help before returning to her frying pan.

"Everything is great, Mrs. Russell, how are you?" Bradley asked, smiling as Angie played with his curly brown locks.

"I'm fine, thanks, love. Oh, a little birdie told me that you haven't met my husband, Richard." She smiled, nudging my dad discreetly.
