Forbidden Love

Chapter 63

          TWO YEARS LATER

"Hello, daddy,"

"Hello, my beautiful angel. How are you?"

"I'm super excited, Dad... I can't wait to lay on my heavenly bed"

Henry chuckled at his daughter's reply.

"You never stop complaining, yet you insist on still staying there"

"Dad, I was only expressing how much I miss home. The truth is, I really enjoy living on campus" Amy told her dad, putting the call on speaker, as she opened her suitcase to begin packing.

"I'm glad to hear that. I never thought you'd get used to it" her dad replied.

"I'm not that bad, Dad" she countered.

"Oh sweetheart, you have no idea"

Amy started sniffling to feign that she was crying.

"Princess, you know I didn't mean that" Henry immediately said to make her feel better.

Amy muffled her laughter by covering her mouth with her hand. She couldn't believe her dad fell for that. She guessed even at twenty-two, she was still his little angel.

"I'll prove you wrong by moving out of the house" she eventually said after composing herself. She wanted to keep up the act a little longer.

"C'mon honey, it hasn't gotten to that"

"I want to prove to you that I can take care of myself"

"There's nothing to prove. You're already doing perfectly as it is. Besides, the house is too big for just one person, and the truth is... I'm not letting you out of my sight until I give you away"

Amy was flattered by her dad's last statement. He was possessive of her, but unlike some other kids, she never had a problem with that. In fact, it helped in preventing unwanted attention when she was in high school. Although, she was enjoying how agitated her dad was over something that wasn't even true, she decided to quit pretending.

"I'll forgive you, only if you pick me up in your private jet tomorrow"

This was the reason why Amy called her dad. As much as she wanted to book a flight like she usually does during her breaks, she wanted to get some sleep without being watched, as she hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long while.

"I thought you'd never ask. I'll send my jet as you asked but I won't be coming"

"Why?!" Amy asked in a whiny voice.

"I have a business meeting tomorrow" Henry explained.

"But you'll come pick me up at the airport, right?"

"Princess, I'm sorry"

Amy let out a disappointed sigh at her dad's reply. This will be the first time he won't be picking her up from the airport.

"It's okay, Dad. You're busy, I understand that perfectly well" she then replied in understanding.

"I'll make it up to you"

"You certainly should, dad"

"Oh boy! I'm in big trouble" her dad exclaimed, causing her to laugh out loud.

"I can't wait to see you, Dad"

"Me too, princess. Have a safe trip home"

"I love you, dad"

"I love you too, my angel. Bye"

Amy slumped on her bed as soon as the line went dead, totally forgetting about packing her suitcase. She couldn't wait to spend another summer break with her family and the love of her life.
