As I walked into the apartment, I noticed that my dad was nowhere to be seen. I walked towards my bedroom to get changed into some other clothes before going back to the living room. I had put the two cups of iced coffee on the kitchen table and grabbed mine. "Olive."I looked up and so my dad walked out of the bathroom. "Dad."I said. "I can't believe that you did not text."he said calmly. "I was wasted, and Logan promised Arthur he would take care of me."I said. "What about me?"I could hear the anger in my dads voice coming up. "It did not seem like you were bothered by me leaving."I said to him. "Olive."My dad started once again. "You are still my daughter, ofcourse I am worried about you."my dad said. "I am not the little girl that I used to be."I grabbed the cup from the counter. "I am, legally, an adult."I said and handed my dad his coffee. "That means I get to make my own decision."I said. "I know baby, I know."I noticed my dad calmed down. "But you are still my baby girl, and I want to protect you."he said stepping forward. "You have got to let me make mistakes I can learn from dad."I started. "That's life, you learned from your mistakes. Let me do the same."my dad sighed. "I am going to be racing for a red bull sponsored team and I am going to prove people wrong."I told him. "And I am going to live out my twenties making mistakes because that is how I learn."my dad nodded. "And I will be proud of you no matter what."a little smile came across my face. "I hate that we fight."I said to him. "Me too."my dad walked towards me and hugged my tight. "You will always be my baby girl."I smiled. "And you'll always be my dad."I joked. "Can't argue with that."my dad laughed.

 "Do I have to be aware of Logan in your life or?"my dad looked at me. I tried to hide my emotions and shook my head. "No, we are just friends dad."I smiled. "He took great care of you at least."my dad said. "I trust him with my life dad."I said. I let go of my dad and grabbed my cup of coffee of the counter top. "I'm going to get ready and I'll go out for lunch with A."I told my dad. "Should we go out to eat tonight? To celebrate you signing a contract for F2?"my dad asked. "I would love that dad."I smiled. . "I'll book us a table at your favorite restaurant."my dad grabbed his phone and started calling. My phone made a sound which made me look, an email was sent through my grandfather to me; inviting me to the next race weekend at the redbull hospitality. The last race of the season, announcing my contract with Hitech and Redbull, while being with Redbull the entire weekend. "If that doesn't piss of my dad, I do not know what does."I sighed. "What is going to piss me off?"my dad walked back into the kitchen and looked at me. "Uh."I did not know what to say. "Looks like I am joining you at the next race weekend."I started. "With RedBull."my dad looked at me and said nothing. "I am going to make a call."and with that he walked out. Looks like me and Arthur have a lot to discuss during lunch.
