Can A Demon Be a Father?

Chapter 25

(Johanna's POV)

"Oh..Hello Antony, um nice to see you' I said somewhat nervous. And not nearly sure why I felt that way to begin with.

"..I came because I wanted to see you again Johanna..what happened to you?' he asked wrinkling his brows at me.

"What..do you mean?" I asked backing away from him a little.

"Well when I first met you..you had lovely yellow hair..now its..'

"Brown' I said said cutting him off.

"Well, yes. Why did you change it?' he asked.

"I just wanted a new look,..you wouldn't understand' I said feeling a bit uncomfortable. The nice and charming young man I had met, was now judging me and looking at me like I was beneath him.

"I suppose you're right ma'am, this is just my opinion but this look doesn't suite you at all.'

"Well your opinion doesn't matter at all now dose it?" Said a stern voice coming down the stairs of the barber shop.

I smirked once I saw antony's serious face turn into one of fright when Dad came a stood by me.

"Oh..Mr.Todd...I certainly didnt mean to offend her sir. I just expected to see her with the same color of hair."

Dad just glared, and put an arm around me.

"She can have any hair color she wants. What are you doing here this late anyways Antony?'

"Well umm..I was just in the area and I thought I'd come in for a visit. Please excuse my behavior Mr.Todd. I'll be on my way now. My Apologies Ms.Johanna.'

With that said Antony walked away, leaving both me and dad standing there feeling both very upset.

"Ignore him Lamb, he's not exactly one to talk. He has messy brown hair himself so he has no room to judge you.'

I just nodded and leaned my head against his shoulder.

Dad calmed down a bit and kissed my forhead.

"I heard the whole thing, I was almost about to come out here and knock some sense into that lad. How dare he insult you like that" said Mrs. Lovett coming outside and standing next to us.

I giggled at her, "Don't worry Mom I know better than to let him get to me."

I could feel Dad tense up when I called Mrs. Lovett Mom. But I cant help how I feel. She is my family despite the circumstances.

"Um all that mess aside, what are you going to do about Perelli?' I asked getting nervous.

"She's right love, something needs to be done.'

Dad sighed, "You're both right, let's discuss this inside.'

With a sigh I fallowed both of them back into the pie shop.

Whatever their plan was...I just hoped it would benefit all of us.
