Atlanta
Waking up the next morning, unfortunately in my own bed without Ryker, I heard noises coming from my kitchen. Growing confused and scared knowing I was home alone; I grabbed my baseball bat that was beside my bed and walked slowly out of my room and down the stairs.
I heard someone humming, I turned the corner and raised my bat to hit the intruder but only saw my dad.
"Papi!" I exclaimed putting the bat down
My dad jumped and turned around to look at me "mija! What the hell are you doing!?" He asked with a hand to his chest
"I thought you were an intruder! I almost killed you" I said with a huff "why are you here?" I asked
"Um this is my house" he said in a confused voice
"You know that's not what I meant" I said with a sigh "why did you come back? I thought you had everything booked for the rest of the year, outside of Pittsburgh" I said
He looked at me sadly "I realized I did that on impulse and I wanted to spend the rest of the summer with you and repair our relationship and apologize" he said, I gave him a confused look but didn't say anything, making him continue.
"Can you please sit?" He said pulling out the chair for me
"Papi, I have to get ready for school" I said rubbing my face "and I don't want to deal with this right now"
He nodded in understanding "can we talk later?" He asked me
I sighed "I am tutoring someone right now, but you wouldn't know that cause you haven't been here" I said "so no we probably can't"
"Please just for tonight, let me explain myself" he pleaded, I gave him an annoyed look and began to think of what I could do
I sighed maybe he's right we need to rebuild our relationship, he's the only family I have right now, and I miss how close we used to be before mom died. "Fine, I'll just bring Ryker over here and we can tutor here" I said "now I have to get ready"
With that said I turned on my heel and walked up the stair to my room. When I got there, I broke down into tears. How could he just come back like nothing happened? Damn it Cami, get yourself together think of the fun times you have been having recently, I told myself.
Catching a breath and wiping my tears, I walked over to my closet and chose my outfit which was a denim skirt with a black belt, a stripe tank top, and my jean jacket. Quickly changing, since I took a shower the night before, I walked out after changing and almost screamed when I saw Ryker on my bed.
"Ryker what the fuck!" I said "what is with everyone scaring me today" I huffed walking over to get my bag
"Are you okay?" He asked
"No, I'm not" I said annoyed "my fucking father is back" I explained
Ryker nodded "well I didn't see him coming in" he said "I'm sorry I scared you" he apologized
I sighed and walked over to him sitting next to him "I'm sorry for overreacting"
I said kissing him on the lips "I just got spooked by my father this morning, he didn't mention he was coming back"
"So how did you figure he was here?" He asked
"Woke up to someone clanging around dishes in the kitchen" I said with a chuckle "and he also just claimed that he wants to repair his relationship with me" I said rolling my eyes
