"Do I look okay?" Ryker asked me
Today was the day, my dad was taking Ryker and I out to dinner and we were trying to find something for Ryker to wear. Though I have told him multiple times that he looks great in what he usually wears.
"Babe, you look fine" I said getting up from my vanity and walking to him "see we compliment each other good, me in my flower dress that I despise and you in your black jeans, white t-shirt and leather jacket, with your luscious hair" I said smirking as I ruffled it
"Whoa whoa not the hair" he said fixing it back into place "we do make a great couple" he said as we stood in the mirror holding onto each other
"Yeah, we really do" I said smiling "we should get going, since dad made a reservation" I told him
So we walked out of Ryker's trailer and Ryker immediately went over to my car. "You don't want to take your car hun?" I asked confused
He shook his head "we will be on the other side of town and I don't need people to look at us weirdly" he said
"Babe, no one would look at us differently and if they did then I would show them not to mess with us" I said "but we can take my car if that makes you feel comfortable" I said with a smile
"I'd like that" he said "can I drive?" He asked
I nodded and tossed him the keys "let's go!"
*~*~*~*
Arriving at the, unfortunately, pricey restaurant we got out of the car and saw my dad waiting for us by the entrance. I smiled as I walked up to him "hi papi!" I said
"Mija you look lovely, Ryker" he said with a smile and gave him a hug as well "you clean up nicely" he said
"Thank you Mr-I mean Andres" he said with a smile
"Well let's eat, after you Cami" my dad said opening the door for me
I smiled at him and walked into the restaurant with Ryker following in after me. Walking up to the host stand, the hostess recognized my father.
"Ah Mr. Rodriguez, you're table is ready for you right this way" she said to us
We walked through the abyss of the restaurant until we made to an secluded spot where there was barely anyone. Handing us our menus she told us that our waiter would be right with us.
"So Ryker" my dad said looking over at him "what are your intentions with my daughter?" He asked
"Dad!" I said putting my head in my hands
Ryker chuckled "I can tell you my intentions are good sir, I want what's best for her in life and I want her to be happy" he said
My dad nodded satisfied with the answer "well you seem like a great guy, Ryker" my dad said with a smile "you are definitely better than that Matt guy" he said
I laughed "papi, I've told you from the beginning he was bad news but I guess it didn't work cause I did end up liking him" I said "but I'm with Ryker now"
"And your mother would be happy" he said "now why don't we order, everything is on me tonight"
As my dad waved down the waiter, we ordered our food and continued to talk. But I couldn't help but have a bad feeling in my gut that something was going to happen.
"Ryker, I like your leather jacket I might need to get-"
"Ahh Andrés"
We all looked up as my dad was cut off and noticed Matt and his family. Fuck I knew this was going to end badly.
