Which One? Hot jerk or Cute and Sweet New Guy

Chapter 13

Brooke's POV

"Now that's not the way to say hello to your father honey." Mark said with a slimy grin on his face.

"Get out mark, you lost the privilege to call me honey when you left me an mum." I replied sternly trying to fight back the tears that were trying to escape.

"Don't call me that sweetie, you know I'll always love you and be your father, even if you don't think so." He smiled again and for a second I felt sympathy for him but it all flew away the window when I thought about mum.

"You love me? You little son of b....." Tears were full down my face when he interrupted me.

"Don't even think about swearing young lady, I am still your father" He exclaimed and his voice was reaching a higher tone.

"No you're not, you left me and mum when we most needed you. You left her dad, YOU LEFT US" I was just going crazy, I wanted to know why he did what he did.

"It was for the best honey" He said and his voice was back to calm, his eyes showed sadness like a lost puppy.

Just then Corey appeared next to me and put an arm around my shoulder.

"Is everything alright Brooke?" he asked looking concerned. "Everything's fine young man, now get back to the living room because I have to talk to my daughter" Mark spat and my fist were ready to punch his face.

"I'll go if Brooke ask me to go, Brooke do you want me to go?" He questioned and I couldn't decide, I knew I had to talk to my father but I didn't want to do it alone.

"No, stay Corey please. " I pleaded, my voice cracking half way through that sentence.

"You can't let one of your pals listening to our family conversation." Mark said angrily, I could tell her was beginning to get irritated. Who cared what he felt like though.

"Firstly this isn't a family conversation because you are not family and secondly Corey has the right to stay." I said, gaining more confidence as I had Corey by my side.

"Why?" Mark nearly shouted at this point.

"Because Because he's my boyfriend." I smiled triumphantly that I could think of such a great excuse on the spot. Not taking into consideration Corey I looked at him and his eyes had gone wide, my hand instantly went to my forehead thinking about what I just said once over.

"Give me a break Brooke, he is not your type and his eyes just went wide as in WTF and you doing and you just slapped yourself." Mark smirked and anger boiled up to my brain.

"Would I do this if he weren't my boyfriend?" I said and grabbed Corey's face and pulled him in for a big kiss, when our lips touched I could feel fireworks and I heard my dad sigh which meant he was believing it. I finally let go of Corey, my brain a little dizzy from the kiss, I looked at him with an apologetic look for kissing him but Corey had a big grin on his face.

"Brooke I really have to speak to you alone, so I can show why I did what I did. I am going to talk to you with him there or not." Dad warned but his face showed so much emotion, like this was the last time I would ever see him.

"He's staying." My voice was firm to show I will not crack. "You may want to seat down to hear this." He said pushing us aside and waking straight towards the living room.

We soon followed him and saw he was trying to make his way toward to sofa without stepping on our pile of pillows, duvets and mugs.
