Her Return

Chapter 28

Adriana's POV

Tyler drove me to get breakfast from Starbucks. The drive thru person was so confused when Tyler grabbed the drinks and bag since he was very much shirtless.

We're now in the driveway of Aleksandr's house

I grabbed Osorin when I got out and Tyler grabbed the Starbucks.

I knocked and dad opened the door angrily. He locked eyes with me and pulled my ear. I followed him into the living room and he pushed me onto the couch.

"I didn't do anything." I rubbed my ear

"You begged me to give you my Range Rover and I did cause I was planning on selling it."

"Yeah I know and I've been taking care of it." I rolled my eyes

"Did you get into a fight with him again? Then proceed to leave your car in his driveway again?"

"Fuck did he scrap it again?"

"157,000 down the fucking drain!" He roared

"Its not my fault!" I argued

"The first time wasn't your fault. This time was."

"Alessandro took my keys from me so I wouldn't runaway. It's not like I could've moved my car."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"They took my phone for a bit and I eventually forgot to tell you."

He clenched his jaw and took a deep breath

"Whatever, Happy Birthday JJ." He pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead

"Thanks dad."

"So what was the fight about?"

I explained it to him and he got visibly angry

"Fucking asshole. Don't let him hit you JJ. Thank you for defending her." He told Tyler

"Can she stay with me in the meantime?" Tyler asked

"JJ can stay here and sleepover whenever she wants."

"I'll basically be living with him with a bunch of extra steps."

"I don't want you to feel dependent on him. You have stability and freedom here. I also want moving in together after the wedding to be exciting and novel." He explained

"Lots of couples live together before marriage."

"I get you for two months before I have to hand you over to that. Just let me have this."

"But I can visit whenever I want?"

"If you don't have other things to do then I don't care. I just don't want you driving too late so he'll have to pick you up in the middle of the night." He shrugged

"And I don't have to ask permission?"

"You're 21. Just let me know when you leave so I know you're safe. I'm done parenting."

"So I can smoke freely?"

"JJ I hate weed. I'll never not scold you for smoking. Don't do it in my house and make sure it isn't laced."

"We should smoke together. I feel like you'd enjoy it." I say

"I've gotten high before. I just don't care for it. I personally don't think you're responsible enough to smoke even at this grown age." He narrows his eyes at me

"You're still on that? I was 14 and naive."

"Shut up and take a shot with me." He told me

"Drinking this early in the morning?"
