Breathless

A gun, a shovel, an alibi

Brushing the sarcastic thought off her head, "Dad, this is my boyfriend, Justin Anderson." Bianca introduced.

Raising his eyebrows, "ah, is it? Hmm, nice."

Stretching his hand, "its nice to meet you sir." When Edwin did not say anything and shook his hand, Justin awkwardly retrieved his hand back. "Your daughter is beautiful, sir."

"Yes I do have a beautiful daughter. I also have a gun, a shovel and an alibi." Edwin said.

"Dad, stop it."

"What's wrong with what I said?"

"Its annoying, and freaking me out."

"Why are you freaking out? You are my daughter and am not gonna play you out easily."

"Dad, Justin is not a bad guy. He is a decent and discipline guy."

"Not until he follows my rules."

Scrunching her brows, "what rules?"

Pinning bianca's lips, "keep quiet, you are talking too much and I don't like it. This rules are none of your business." He said before carrying his luggage.

"Sir, let me help you with that." Trying to take the luggage from him.

Slapping his hands off, "no don't worry, just show me the way to the car."

Nodding his head, "sure."

.....

On the highway

Inside the car

"Dad, this is crazy, and annoying. I don't like it." Bianca complained.

"My dear, this is the only way I can secure you and make sure you are safe." Edwin said.

Justin on the other hand was getting all tired of Edwin's weird rules. He couldn't alter a single word, because he is scared maybe Edwin might bring out a pistol and spill his brain.

Jotting down the rules, "so as I was saying– where did I stop?"

"A dad with a gun and no sense of humor." Justin hesitantly said.

Mouthing something to Justin, "are you mad? Why did you remind him?" Bianca spoked with an undertone voice.

"Aha, exactly, I am a dad with a gun and no sense of humor. Mark that word." He sighed and continued writing. "Remember these are rules and regulations to date my baby girl."

Looking back, "But dad, Justin and I are already dating." Bianca scoffed.

"And so? Now keep quiet until am done." Looking at his jotter, "listen and be warned. Number 1: I make the rules. Number 2: understand and acknowledge I don't like you. Number 3: my daughter is a lady, she will return a lady, otherwise you will become a lady."

Bursting into laughter, Justin couldn't help it but laugh.

Frowning deeper and deeper with a deadpan face, "are you laughing? Does it sound funny to you? Or do you want to die suddenly?"

Vigorously nodding his head, "no no sir, am sorry, it was a mistake."

"Good, now back to where I stop." Looking at the jotter, "Number 4: Your hands will remain above her waist, or else your parents will have to buy a van for an handicap. Number 5: if you go against my rules and I kill you, I won't mind going to prison, but I can still hurt you from prison. Number 6: she is not your punching bag, so if you want to learn boxing, better do that in the stadium, and not on my daughter's body."

Looking back, "Dad, Justin is not that type of man, who hit women. He has never raised his hands on me, and I know he won't do that." Bianca defended.

Raising his eyebrows, "ah, nice one. But has he touched you yet? Because I know my daughter is a virgin right from day one." Looking at Justin, "hey young man, did you sex my daughter? Did you went underneath her?"
