You were at your parents house, in your room just listening to music. You hear a knock on your door, and when you told the person to come in , you see your dad. You kinda dread seeing him , not that you guys aren't on good terms , but lately he's been voicing his feelings about your relationship with your boyfriend, Chris.
"How's my baby girl" your dad ask you sitting on the bed. "I'm good, wassup" you ask him. He took a deep breath, sensing what he was going to say , is probably something you wouldn't like. "I just been thinking , you and that boy—". You stop your dad right there. "Chris" you say annoy. "Yes Chris, do you seriously thinks he cares about you, I mean truly" your dad question.
So here's the deal , you met Chris at a young legal age but there's this age gap between y'all and that didn't suit well with your dad. Your dad thinking Chris is just using his age to take advantage of you when in reality that's definitely wasn't the case.
"Dad we talked about this, Chris isn't like that , he's very kind to me and always makes sure I'm straight" you confess, "you would know that if you actually sit down with him". Your dad looks at you and took a deep breath. "I refuse to do that, you might hate me on this but I just don't thinks he right for you" he said. "No offense daddy , but I seriously don't wanna do this right now" you say turning your back to him.
Your dad grabs your hands sensing your aggravation. He goes to get up but you stop him in his track. "Are you fixing my car today , you promise to have been work on it three days ago" you said. "Okay , that's fine. I'm heading back to work but afterwards i try to get your car fix back up" he said leaving. You said okay and continue back to minding your business.
It's now the evening and you catch your dad doze off on his favorite chair. You gently tap his shoulder and one eye pop open. "Hey did you get it up and running" you ask. "Aww I'm sorry baby, work was exhausting and I lost track of time" he said. "I promise to do it first thing in the morning. "Yeah okay" you said walking away.

Your dad gets up around 9am and heads down to the garage to fix the car. On the way down, he hear noise coming from the garage. He grab a bat, thinking it was an intruder. Once inside, he see a man under the car. "What the hell you're doing here" you dad ask. Chris rolls from under your car and wipe his hands to shake your dad hand but was dismissed. Chris chuckled to himself. "Well (Y/N) was telling me that you was supposed to been fix up her car, but I reckon you been busy so I told her I'll do it" Chris confess.
Your dad stared hard at Chris. As if he was fighting to be the number one man in your life. "I told her I was going to do it, how long you been here" your dad said. "Well she said she needs her car this weekend and I decided to get it going and since 5am" Chris said. "Son, do you even know what you're doing" your dad ask. Chris pops the hood of the car and grabs some wrenches and oil and began to work.
"This is kind of my side job actually", Chris began. "I been working on cars since I was ten". "Oh well that was quite a time ago, during that time , my daughter was still putting her shoes on the wrong foot" your dad say picking up a heavy tool box from the ground. "You know I'll be careful picking up heavy equipment, wouldn't want them knees to start buckling" Chris fires back.
"That's it! I will not have no man on my property, disrespecting me" your dad yell. "Well frankly I don't give a shit, because you started with me. I came to do my woman a favor since her dad couldn't" Chris say through gritted teeth. "You think you're a man because you're doing my daughter a favor, she doesn't need you!" "Well when you kept forgetting to fix her car , who did she call" Chris yells at him.
"I work a 12 hour shift , fix cars on the side and whatever your daughter need , I come through. Not no "oh baby I'm tired , I'll get on it later" but no. I'll do it now because I love her and I wanna do for her as much as I can. My age bother you , that's too damn bad" Chris started off angry. He lighten up when he see you standing outta nowhere. He lift his eyebrows, in sense of you stepping forward. You do and embrace his warm body.

"Like I was saying , I love your daughter and I will absolutely never hurt her, you don't have to give me a chance. Hell you can hate me forever but I'm here to stay" Chris said. You look at your father seeing him loosen up slightly and saw his eyes. You know this face so well. You walk up to him and hug him. "No matter what, I'll always be daddy's girl" you comfort him. Your father choked up a little but the warrior in him wasn't gone shed a tear. He looks at Chris and gave him a nod of surrender.
"Hey baby, Chris say closing the hood. "Do me a favor and start your car. You happily dance to the driver side cause you miss Bella. You crank the car and the smooth sounds roams the garage. You squeal at the fact that you can finally hit the road again. Your father extends his hand to Chris.
