"Dany who's car is outside ?" I wake up hearing my dad's voice.
"Err, hello to you too Paa, give me a sec," I reply in shock, shaking Dave to wake him up.
"Hmmm ?" Dave murmurs.
"My dad's here, wake up, I mean, get clothed, errr, I mean wear, I don't know just... don't be naked," I say as I struggle pulling my tight jeans on."
"What ?" Dave asks, sleepy.
"Just get dressed baby," I blow him a quick kiss on the lips and get out of the room.
"I see you are still partying," my dad says as I move towards him to hug him.
"Morning dad,"
"It's 1 pm my boy," my dad looks at his watch. "Who kept you in bed this time ?"
I laugh, I can never hide from my dad.
"A nice gentleman, Indian if that gives him a plus point for you,"
"Indian !" My dad cannot hide his shock.
"Yes, and be polite please, don't put your strict-father face tod-" we are interrupted by Dave's "Good Afternoon Mr. Roy."
So many questions popped up in my head. Mr Roy ? How does he know my surname ? How did he manage to get so presentable in such a short time while I'm just in my jeans ? He looks good in your clothes though ! What do I say now ?
"Dad, this is Dave err" I look at Dave, not knowing his surname, when he knows mine.
"Dave Bhatt, Sir," Dave replies, shaking my dad's hand. Dave Bhatt sounds familiar. Yes, but from where ?
"Yes, and Dave, my father, Siddhart."
"Sir ? Mr. Roy ? Please son, for someone who finally gave my boy over here a good sleep after a long time, the least I can do, is let you call me by name, Sid," my dad replies.
He called Dave "son", and he is smiling !
"Pleasure to meet you Sid," Dave gives him his best smile.
"Gentlemen, looks like breakfast was left uncooked, let me treat you with the lunch Dany's mom sent me with." My father starts unpacking the food on the table.
"I'll bring the plates," hoping dad to be gentle with Dave.
As I come back, Dave and my dad are engaged in a long conversation about fishing, Dad found himself a fishing buddy I guess. A conversation I don't associate with.
"So, how long you've known each other ?" Dad asks.
"I've known, well, stalked your son for two years, three months and seventeen days, from the bar he works in, and unfortunately for Dany, he's only known me for fourteen hours as I couldn't find the courage to leave my toxic ex so that I could be with this beautiful man over here," Dave replies, grabbing my hand, looking proudly at me, smiling, leaving me completely speechless.
"You are the favorite boyfriend my son ever had already, I like your honesty son," my dad never sounded so happy while meeting my exes before.
"Thank you," I mouth to Dave, looking at him as if I won a loto ticket.
As we finish lunch, my dad rises from his chair and says, "I'll leave you two handsome boys having fun, I don't wanna be the old dad ruining his son's day." He moves towards Dave and HUGS, yeah hugs him and continues, "I'll trust you to take good care of my son, I'm free now."
I then hug my dad, whispering, "we need to talk," and inform Dave, "I'll see my dad out, give me a minute,"
He nods in reply.

"What happened to you ?" I ask as I stop by my dad's car.
"Dany, sorry I love you son but I hated your past relationshi-"
I interrupt my dad, "that I know, how come you like Dave ?"
"The man knows what he wants, and I know he will keep you happy forever," my dad grabs my shoulder. "The day you came out to us, the only concern I had was you finding the wrong guys, like your uncle did, he never found true love," his voice changes from happy to serious.
My dad continues to be his true concerned self, while we are standing in the entrance of the beach house, "give your hundred percent in this one, you have my blessings as always," dad hugs me tightly, breaking the bitter atmosphere that was brought by my uncle's topic.
I thank him for being the best, and bid him goodbye.
"Don't forget your old man, call me soon puttar," my dad shouts as he pulls out of the driveway.

"Your father is a nice gentleman," Dave comments as I close the front door.
"That he is," I reply, join him on the couch by sitting on his lap, give him a brief kiss and continue, "I am sorry if you felt uncomfortable. I mean, the very first day, meeting my father already and al-"
"Hey, don't apologise baby," Dave interrupts me, "I have my asking-for-your-hand-in-marriage speech since the first day I saw you."
"Why are you so," I'm lost for words, "perfect ?" I ask.
"Because of you, you deserve to have everything perfect," he replies, smiling, not taking his eyes off mine.
For moments, we kept staring at each other until his phone vibrates. He answers without looking.
"Bhatt..." he answers. Okay, no hello ! My subconscious raises his eyebrows while Dave inhales sharply. "It better be urgent as I said no call unless urgent this weekend," meet Mr Dave Bhatt's business voice, I guess. Dave Bhatt and business sounds very familiar, again !
I try to withdraw myself from his laps, to give me more privacy since it sounds serious, but he grabs me by my waist, denying me to break contact with him.
"I'll get back to you in a couple of hours with the update, tell Stephan and Mrs Barley to have the weekend off. I have plans and Kate," he stops, gives me a brief smack on the lips, "have the weekend off too, I want you using the office phone on Monday now," he hungs up.
"Everything okay ?" I ask.
"I'll have to get back home for some finalisations sooner than expected," he sounds disappointed.
"Okay, err... I let you freshen up while I clean around here and you can drop me home, or I can have my roomate pick me up too,"
"I was thinking, maybe, you'd like to spend the weekend with me, if you don't have any plans," he proposes.
"At your place ?" My eyes light up like a Christmas tree.
"Yes,"
"Let me grab some necessities then," clothes, charger, toothbrush, toiletries, what else ? My subconscious has his pen and paper ready to note.
"I don't think you'll be lacking anything at my place," Dave cocks his head back.
"My clothes at least ?"
"Use mine, you let me use yours,"
"I might not fit in some of your clothes," booty so big ! I internally laugh at my subconscious shaking my head.
"Because of this ?" Dave moves his hands from my waist to my butt. Did he just read my mind ?
I laugh, "yeah."
"We'll figure it out," he gives me a long kiss, "come now, let's tidy this place up."
