Room Sixteen

7/Handsome boy

Iris's pov'

"He is going to be upset that I didn't show up today and he will probably be worried too because he cares a lot for me but I'll make it up to him and I bet he's going to be happy that I finally met you." I shrug and he chuckles while walking beside me on the pathway to the pond behind the mansion.

He's shown me so many things he owns today and I was starting to get overwhelmed so we decided to take a walk outside and get some fresh air.
The backyard was so pretty and green with some red roses that I really adored.

Soren made me a little bouquet of flowers out of newspaper and it was the cutest most special thing that happened to me in my life, I love that he's so creative and thoughtful and I love that he thinks of me nonstop, it makes me want him even more.

"That's nice, I'm happy I met you too, I could not have been happier. Though I would have liked it better if you met me earlier." Dad says and I shrug as a way of saying sorry.

"I wasn't ready."

"It's okay."

"So, your little boyfriend's trial is tomorrow, huh?" He asks and I hum with a nod of my head.
"Hmm, alright good luck to him and you too." I nod again as a thank you.

"I'm not going to be showing up though because I don't need to, I'll be meeting him tonight for like thirty minutes though," I tell him and he nods back staring into the distance.

"Can I take you?" He suggests giving me a lifted eyebrow and I giggle before nodding yes.

"Yes, you can."

"Let's freaking go." He cheers making me laugh.
"Let's continue our tour shall we?"

"Of course." I get up and follow him right back into the house.

It's going way too perfectly with him and I hope it's like this all the time because I love it like this, I love spending time with him. He's fun and exciting and creative and compassionate and funny and much more that I can't even fit into one sentence if I tried because it's way too much to describe him.
He isn't the father I thought he was when I was 10 or even 16 I believed a lie, my whole life was a lie.

I know my dad told me what he did about Mom and how she wanted to protect us but what about Dad? He wasn't safe, he wasn't okay, he loved her and she didn't give a fuck about love and left him.
No matter how dangerous Soren's life is I am never going to leave his side because I love him and I would never betray him like that.

The fact that my dad never moved on thinking my mom would return one day is crazy and unreal, I can't believe people like my dad are actually excited, people that wait for the person that left them but they never do.
My mom was taken away at a young age because she messed up, She broke my dad's heart and now he's going to live with that scar his whole life.
That honestly breaks me.
I want to hug my dad so hard and tell him I love him for being so strong and loyal.
I want to tell him that he's still very young and capable and he should meet someone because he has a king life ahead of him to spend it all alone would be a crime because he deserves happiness too.
