I hate how this is going.
My father is nothing like my mother when it comes to my love life. Though it's usually difficult for girls to speak to their father about their relationships. It's different for me.
My father is like my best friend.
I can talk to him about anything without him judging or being hard on me. Not all our convos goes the way I want to. Sometimes he disagrees and end up lecturing me but at the end of the day we come to an agreement. The only thing we didn't talk about were the things I found awkward.
Daddy always intimidate the boys in my past. To warn dem of course.
So I should understand this right?
For some reason I don't.
Something about the way his eyes darkens as he stares at Zahir puts me in a state of agitation. It's different.
...and this situation is greatly unforeseen.
It's giving me a gut feeling that something bad is go-Don't be a pessimist right now.
"Mi hear she say Zahir yes but mi say full name," Daddy repeats. I really wish he'd just let this go. But daddy doesn't like when he's disrespected.
Especially when it's his potential son-in-law.
I heave a heavy sigh not sure what to say or do. It's just so appalling.
...and stressful.
Zahir always wanted this so why is he blowing it? If he speaks to my father in this manner, does he really think it'll help our relationship?
"A wah make you a act so with him daddy? You nuh normally act so," I interpose in a calm tone. I'm far from that. My heart is racing like the cars in fast and furious.
His stone cold eyes finds me.
"Act how princess? Mi just want know who he is. After all nuh introduction dis?" his sarcasm..
Jesus mi wah dis stop.
Zahir chuckles humorlessly before he speaks.
"Elder, if yuh ask bout mi father after you a pree me so mi a go automatically feel suhm wrong," the venom in his voice is heart wrenching. Oh God stop.
My eyes moves to Tyrell when he chimes in; in an equally ominous tone.
"A simple thing dat still, nuh see why yaw hide it if suhm nuh sus," his glacial eyes are fixed on Zahir.
Introduction gone wrong to baxide.
Why mi do this?
I was just trying to make things better; to finally stand up for my relationship. But just look where standing up for our relationship takes me.
