Something Extraordinary

Chapter 39

The drive was quick. Henry unloaded the car before anybody could protest, Rachel thanked him and wished him a good night, after that they walked inside. Cassandra was quiet, because the other three were talking and she wasn't even listening. A few minutes after they arrived at her building they were on her floor. After she opened the door, she walked inside, threw her keys on the table and sat down.

"Oh, yah, sorry." She shook her head slightly and stood back up. "That's the bathroom, but you have a joining bathroom." She walked towards the kitchen, stairs and guest room, after Hiram and Leroy realized Cassandra was showing them around they followed her. "This's the kitchen, upstairs is my studio and that's the guest room, so for now it's yours, as long as you want."

"Your apartment is-"

"Beautiful." The berry men looked surprised and one finished the others sentence.

"Thanks, I don't want to seem rude, but I'd like to take a shower and you probably wanna unpack and talk to Rachel."

"Of course." Rachel waited in the living room, so Cassandra walked up to her before she went for a shower.

"Hi."

"Hey." She looked distant, so Cassandra sat next to her.

"I'll take a shower, are you okay?"

"I don't know." That was Rachel's honest respond and Cassandra knew it. There wasn't much she could do now, but she squeezed Rachel's hand comforting, before she stood up.

"Have fun with your dads."

"I will." Rachel's dads were still in the guest room and Cassandra didn't want to miss the opportunity to kiss her girlfriend. So she did, just a small kiss, she didn't want Rachel's dads to catch them making out.

That would be embarrassing. Cassandra smiled at Rachel and Rachel flushed a bit, before she turned around. Rachel watched Cassandra turn and leave into the bedroom. The situation she was in was new territory and it felt strange, she did. Somehow it was so surreal, her girlfriend in the room in front of her and her dads in the room behind her.

In her girlfriends apartment. And they all get along. She suppressed a laughter, but not well enough.

"What are you laughing about?" He startled Rachel and she stopped.

"Oh, hi dad, I'm just you know, I'm happy." Leroy sat next to her on the couch.

"I know." Rachel was confused, so he continued. "I can see it. She is responsible for that, isn't she?"

"Yes." She hugged him tightly.

"Tell me about her. We didn't really got to talk earlier."

"What do you want to know?"

"She seems rich."

"I guess, I've never asked, but her family seems wealthy."

"You met her family?"

"Yea, just recently. They're...like her."

"Is that good?"

"Considering that I love her, yes." It just slipped out, it's not that she didn't know she had these feelings, but telling someone else she had been different.

"I didn't know it was that serious." He waited for a respond, but knowing his daughter, Leroy continued. "Why didn't you tell us?"

"I don't know, I guess I was afraid."

"You know we would never judge you, no matter who you love, right?"

"Yes, I know."

"Good. We would disagree if anybody treats you wrong though."
