I Loved Her First

Protective father

POV Tom:

It's the first day of school for my little Marinette. She is already 18 years old now. My little princess has become a grown woman and she is now in the senior year.

Whenever another day passes, I am more afraid that a young man will take her from me. Since she was young, I have given her everything. I'm everything for her. I am her world

I love her more than myself, she is the most precious thing I have. My little girl and she will remain young in my eyes and will never grow up no matter what happens because she will remain the princess of her father. My little princess

She is my only daughter so I spoiled her and she used to accompany me wherever I go. Buy her everything she wants and even what she doesn't want. Buy her all the toys she loved since she was little

I am afraid of the day I wake up and go to the kitchen to make breakfast for her and call her name and not hear her footsteps heading towards me. I'm afraid of being deprived of her embrace every day, every hour, every minute

I was used whenever I head from work, I find Marinette waiting for me, holding my slippers. She hugs me and smile at me, and always remind me that she loves me so much and I'm her first love

Whenever she says that I'm her first love, I understand that she will love someone else. It's hard to believe that, but I should accept it. Marinette won't stay with me forever

Sometimes she sleeps between me and her mother because no matter how old she gets; she will never grow up in my eyes and she will remain my little girl

I prevented her from having a boyfriend and my wife always tells me that I fear for her too much, but every time I talk to Marinette, she reassures me and tells me that she prefers her studies than to love someone

I don't mind her having boys as friends, and she actually has two, Luka and Nino. She also has two friends, Alya and Kagami. She promised me that she would dedicate her life only to study, I mean for now as a teenager but I know that one day, she will fall in love with a man and marry him and he will get her from my house to live with him in his house. A man who will steal my young little princess's heart. Her precious heart that was beating only for me

This man will be so lucky to have her.

I had a conversation with Marinette, that she isn't allowed to have a boyfriend before 20 years old and she agreed but her mother never agreed, she always tell me that I'm over protective with her

I'm praying always that my Marinette meet someone who will respect her, be here for her, love her the way I do, selfless, brave and kind. Someone that he will treat my little princess like he would like a husband for his future daughter

I remember how I was reading that story for Marinette when she was only three. She was sitting on my laps and I was reading a book for her about a princess and prince

Flashback

I was reading a prince and princess story for my little three years old Marinette who was sitting on my laps

Marinette: Papa, when I grow up, I'm going to meet my prince and my one true love, just like in the story. He is going to be very handsome and dreamy too, right?

Tom: Yes! You definitely will one day, sweety! But you know Marinette, there is going to be a lot of handsome princes out there. You won't be able to find him easily.

Marinette: why papa?

Tom: Your true love doesn't have to be handsome and dreamy. The most important about the prince you need to look for is someone who is brave, kind, selfless and protective. Who is always going to be there by your side

End of flashback

I wake up early to bake the macaroons that my little daughter love to give to her friends and some strawberry and passion fruits macaroons for her. also ill bake some croissant, she loves that

Sabine: wow, all of this? Need help darling?

Tom: I can handle it for my little girl

Sabine: tom, Marinette isn't a little girl, she is 18 now

Tom: she will never grow and she will be always her father's girl and no one will get my princess from me

Sabine sighed as always; she will never convince me that Marinette grow up.

I felt two warm arms hugging me from behind and a kiss on my cheek

Marinette: good morning dad

Tom: good morning princess, so ready for today?

Marinette: ohhh yes dad, you know me

Tom: I want you to be the first in your class as always and make me proud even if I'm always

Marinette: yes dad.

Tom: no boys till your 20

Sabine: TOOOM

Marinette: that's fine mom, it's like ill fell in love now. I'm so focus on my studies that I'm not ready for that

Tom: that's my girl, I'm so proud of you

Sabine: oh my god, Marinette, you will drive me crazy

Marinette: sorry mom, dad is my only love. After you sure

I made with Marinette our handshake before I give her the bag of macaroons, and croissant and hide them in her bag

Sabine: as always, Nino, Luka, Kagami and Alya are in the same class with you?

Marinette: yes mom, the same class like the last year but Alya told me that there is someone new, he was in another school but when his family moved, he moved with them so he needed a new school. I think she said his name is Adrien

Tom: Alya has always news before anyone else, she can be a good journalist. She still with Nino?

Marinette: yep

Tom: and you are single for sure?

Marinette: sure dad, I need to go, I'm late, I don't want to miss Alya's jokes in the morning

Sabine: as always

Tom: my kiss first

My little girl gave me a kiss on my cheek and hugged her mom before she leaves

Sabine: what you will do if Marinette fall in love before her 20 Tom? You never thought of that?

Tom: she is mine, and my only princess. No one deserve my daughter

Sabine: you are a protective father, but Marinette is a grown woman

Tom: Marinette will never grow, she will always be my little girl and I'm sure, she won't fall in love soon.... I know my girl...
