My Father, Peter Gene Hernandez

Chapter 32: Shopping with the Lylas

We pulled up to the mall and we walk in. I found this one store with a really cute shirt. I walked in and looked around when I bumped into some guy.

"I'm sorry" I apologized. i looked up and it was D og the bounty hunter, Dakota's grandfather.

"You're Angelina, Right?" he asked

"Yeah"

"So you're going on a date with Dakota on Saturday, huh."

I couldn't help but smile at the mentioning of his name. "Yeah, I am going on a date with Dakota Chapman."

"He's here you know."

"What? Oh my goodness, um I'll be right back."

I ran and go my aunts, when I finally found them in the store I couldn't say anything. I just sat there smiling and shaking my head. Tiara notice me.

"Angelina, are you okay?" I just nodded.

"Why aren't you speaking?"

"He's... He's here." They looked at me confused. Then Presley's eyes widened.

"He as in Dakota, Your date on Saturday?" Presley asked.

"Yes, I just walked into his Grandfather."

"Omg, Let's go meet him."

I turned and walked toward 'Dog'. I found him and Dakota was with him.

"So, I'd never think I'd see you here." I said. Dakota turned around. His eyes lit up like a child on Christmas morning.

"Angelina?!.... I mean Hello."

I couldn't help but giggle.

"Hey." I gave him a hug.

"I can't believe you're here." Dakota said.

"I could say the same."

"Well, Who are these Beautiful women."

"These Beautiful women are my aunts. This is Presley, Tahiti, Tiara, and Jaime."

"Nice to meet you guys. I can definitely see where Angelina gets her beauty from."

"Nice to meet you too Dakota." Jaime said.

"Oh, yeah, This is Pops, My grandfather and as you guys already know I'm Dakota."

I did end up buying the shirt that drew me into the store and I ended up spending the rest of the afternoon with Dakota. Of course my aunts wouldn't let us out of their eyesight which was fine with me. Dakota and I walked hand in hand around the mall, my aunt ended up getting a couple of pictures of us.

One picture we were just walking holding hands, another picture we were looking at each other smiling and the last picture my Aunt called our names and took a picture as we looked back at her. I was walking with Dakota when I heard my name being called and it wasn't my aunts. I looked around and saw her. The one person that has been ruining my life since I could remember. I decided to ignore her until she came up to me.

"Angelina Michelle, How dare you ignore me, I'm your mother." I continued walking.

"Please leave me alone, I'm enjoying myself for once."

She pulled my hair, pulling me back.

"Ow!! That hurts!!"

"Ma'am, please just let her go."

My aunts came running over.

"Jessica leave her alone."

"Why don't you guys just shut up, and stop telling me how to raise my daughter."

She finally let go of my hair.

"Did you forget you left me at one of my dad's concerts. What if he didn't want anything to do with me? What would you have done than?"

"Jessica just leave." my Aunt Tahiti said.

"Why do you insist on ruining my life, every time I'm actually enjoying life for once you always come and ruin it."

I didn't realize it, but I was crying. I was so angry I started crying. Dakota pulled me away from group.

"Is that your mother?"

"Sadly. I'm sorry, She ruined our whole day." I wiped the tears that were falling from my eyes.

"It's okay. Saturday will be much better,I promise." Dakota gave me a hug, "I promise." my aunts came over.

"Is there any last stores you would like to go to?"

"No, I'm ready to just go home."

"Dakota If you want to, you can come with us." my aunt Tiara said.

"I'l have to ask my dad."

"Ok, Take your time."

Dakota asked Dog and than he called his dad, I guess they both said yes.

"I'll come."

"Okay. Just let your Dad know we will have you home by 12 the latest."

"I'll tell him for you kid."

"Okay. Thanks Pops."

"No problem."

Dakota came with us and I sat next him in the car. We held hands all the way home. I did end up spending only $200 of the $500 that my dad gave me. I had a long day. I woke up early this morning and my mother ruining my day. I was tired. I ended up sleeping through the car ride home.
