"Daddy!!!!"

"Shanice?!?!"

Like a BABY I Lunged  into my dad's arm, I missed him, plus a little buttering up never hurt anybody, I needed him to be in a great mood so Daniel could talk to him,

"Yuh finally come home but you bring a white man with you did time"

"be nice Willy" my mom warns

"Daddy, this is Daniel"

"the fiance?"

"well not quite sir" Daniel adds

Can we speak in private? "

, well anything you have to say might as well say it in front of my wife and I'm sure you can sit in front of my daughter

I wanted to talk to you about getting permission sir I want to do it the right way

Hmmm I'm Not giving anyone permission to marry my daughter right now eno

Well, may I ask why sir?

Well for one I don't think she's ready to move on just yet
Two I don't know you
I've never met anyone from your family, I don't know what your intention is with my daughter... you except to just get up and give you the okay the first time I meet you? You've never met and spent time with her family, nothing.

Those are very valid points, I understand where you're coming from I do intend to get to know everyone, and I -

so tell me something when will I get to meet you and your family you know meeting them is just as important as meeting you I can't just go ahead and give you the go-ahead tomorrow my daughter and I don't know what family and I allowing her to marry into I have already made the mistake of letting that pest marry her and she nearly end up dead we're not doing that again so here what when your family is available I would love to sit down and talk to them and get to know how they are...until I know who you are then I'm not giving you any permission to marry my daughter

"I respect that sir

So why should I let you a total stranger marry my daughter?"

I love her"

You know what happened the last time I mek a man married my daughter just because him think him love har...

yes sir, Ba- Shanice and I have spoken about that

and, what uh think?

its an unfortunate situation and-

he cuts me off before I can finish and demands

Hmmm So let me ask you again...why should I let you marry my daughter? How are you different from that that that demonic spawn?

"I know that no matter what I say it still won't be a good enough answer, I know I am asking for a lot but please trust me, I'm not her ex, I love her, and I don't take it lightly, I know it's a privilege to be a part of her life, a year ago I didn't even know who she was but now I can't even imagine life without her, she has made me a better person in so many ways, I want to be better for her, she loves me, she sees beyond the money and the fame, the glitter, she sees me, her loves makes me feel like...like I'm... I'm invincible...like I'm walking on sunshine or something, I promise you, my intentions are pure, I want the best for her, I want her to be happy, there is nothing in this life I wouldn't do for her, I put my life on it

"That's is nice to hear and all but hear ME when I say this, I'm not some old man, matter of fact, I am but there's is no depths that I wouldn't go for my child, for any of my children, MY FAMILY, I am NOT going to sit idly by and watch you ruin her life, I'm not going to sit back and let her go through turmoil again because she thinks she can fix a man, she thinks she a bob the builder or something she love fix people and me can see you need some fixing too.....I know love has no bounds and, no timetable, no handbook, and to be quite frank I don't think you love my daughter for the right reasons nevertheless she is an adult and I cannot tell her how to live her life, I can't keep holding her mistake over her head, she trust you and me trust she so because of that reason I will take a step back but the moment, me mean the instant uh mek har head hurt her and me know, mi find uh light switch...

You've my blessing but keep in mind I am not the only person you've to get blessings from,

you still need to speak to the rest of the family and that includes her Bestfriend

He raises his glass and clicks it on mine, can't say I blame him not one bit, I care about her just as much, I know it's his job to protect her, and given the circumstances well you know,

I love Shanice, I don't think I need to tell anyone that, I always do my best to show it, I will walk a hundred miles and ask for ten thousand blessings if it means she'll be happy and we can be together

shes my end game, the love of my life

She's safe with me" I assure him once more before we rejoin the ladies in the living room.

Everything okay babe? She whispers as she caresses my cheek

never been better babe

Okay Mr. Daniel, I guess its my turn with you in the hot seat

ready whenever you're Mrs. Williams
