I have been unhappy for a year. My husband had forgotten all about me. One day, I met this annoying mail woman whom I oddly found a liking in over time. One night, it was raining and I invited her in. Since that night, I got to have her.

Winter and I were on the way to see my dad. They've been waiting to meet each other in person, so we both took off for a week to go see him. He knows I'm coming, but he doesn't know she's coming with me. We left early so it would be light once we made it.
It was late 9, and we had finally pulled up in front of the house. He was outside watering plants that he and Mom planted before she passed away.
I helped Winter out, I grabbed our bags, and headed down the driveway. Dad had music playing so he ain't hear us.
"DAD!!" I yelled making him turn around
He looked at us and smiled. I started patting his pockets before pulling out his phone and cutting the music off.
"Heyyyy..." he said smiling and hugging me
"Wassup Pops..." I said smiling
"Why you didn't tell you was bring her!?" He said pushing me "Hey..."
He walked to her and they hugged each other.
"Nice to finally meet you..." Winter said smiling at him
"You too Sweetie. Let me carry this for you..." he said taking her book bag out of her hand
We headed to the house behind him.
"If I knew you were coming, I would've fixed the house up more..." he said to Winter
"Nonsense, it's gorgeous here..." Winter said looking around
She and Dad walked around talking as they looked at the pictures around the front room. He showed her around the house as I followed behind them. They were making lil jokes and laughing just having a good time. They were getting along just fine and it made me feel great.
We made our way back to the front of the house.
"Kass go put y'all's bags up..." he said to me "Make yourself at home while I start on breakfast. I know the ride here was long..."
"Yes, it was..." Winter nodded
Winter and I took our bags to my room. Once we made it to the room, she sat on the bed and smiled at me.
"What??" I asked smiling
"Your dad is adorable..." she said making me chuckle
"He likes you more than me..." I said pouting while walking up to her
"He doesn't..." she said smiling while pitching my cheek
"He basically kicked me to the curb when he saw you..." I said and he giggled
"Awwww baby..." she said before pecking my lips "How bout I play sick for the whole week so he won't keep you on the curb where he kicked you??"
I gently pushed her making her laugh. She started looking around my room as I put our bags in the closet.
"I have to find things for us to do down here..." I said
"What's here to do??" She asked leaning against the dresser
"We can go into town and look around. We have lil arcades, food spots, and we have more stuff..." I said and she nodded
We were in the room just chilling for about an hour and a half. That's when Dad called us to come eat. We got up and headed to the kitchen. We ate then we chilled all day. We sat outside and just talked. He showed her around the garden. They were getting along so well.
It was late ova in the evening. Dad was in the kitchen cooking again. We were in the front room playing the Monopoly game he had. She was waxing my ass not gone lie. Dad finally called us to come eat and saved me.
"What you cooked pops??" I asked while pulling a chair out for Winter
"Hamburger patties with gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, and rolls..." he said as I went into the kitchen where he was
"Sounds good..." Winter said smiling
I helped Dad fix the plates and sat them at the table. I went to get the drinks and sat them in front of everybody. We grabbed hands, Dad said a quick prayer, and we started eating.
"Oh, this good..." Winter said nodding while still chewing
"So, Winter..." my dad said making Winter and I look up
"Hmm..." she said while still chewing
"What do you think of my daughter??" He asked
"Dad..." I said but she rubbed my arm making me look at her
She nodded letting me know it was okay.
"Well Sir, She's very smart, confident, and headstrong. She makes me feel safe and secure whenever I'm around her. She was the light that brought me out of the most darkest time of my life. She's very honest and trustworthy. She makes me so happy. And I'm glad we found each other..." she said while holding my hand that was sitting in my lap
I smiled at her before looking at my dad. He was smiling while nodding his head.
"I like her..." he said looking at me making me chuckle
"Yeah pops, me too..." I said making her blush
We continued eating and talking about random shit. After that, I grabbed our dishes and headed to the kitchen to wash dishes cuz Dad already cleaned the kitchen. They were still at the table and Dad was showing her pictures from our photo book. He was talking about mom when she was giving birth to me.
"Speaking of mom..." I said making them look back at me
"Dad, Winter was the one who gave us the blessing to be able to bury Mom. So, thank her..." I said while looking at him
He looked at her.
"You did??" He asked
"Yes. I knew you guys wanted her to put away beautifully so I did what I could so you guys didn't have to stress..." she said looking at me
"Thank you so much..." he said grabbing her hand "I'm so grateful for you and what you did to help us..."
His voice got a lil weak. And I could tell he was getting emotional.
"I was stressed about not being able to give her a beautiful home going. Thank you so much, honey. Whatever you want or need, let me know and I'll do it for you..." he said with tears slowly falling
"No..." she said before hugging him "I don't expect anything for what I did. It was from the heart, so no I won't accept..."
She grabbed a paper towel and dapped his eyes.
"Stop..." she said smiling "You're going to make me cry..."
"Sorry..." he said placing the paper towel ova his eyes
"Awww..." she said rubbing his back
"Excuse me..." he said getting up and going to the back cuz he couldn't stop crying
She watched him until he was outta sight. She looked at me and pouted.
"I didn't want him to cry..." she said walking up to me
"It's okay. It's rare for him to show emotion. He's very grateful for what did so he couldn't hold it in..." I said wrapping my arms around her
I laid her head in my neck and wrapped her arm around my waist.
"It's okay, Pretty Lady..." I said before kissing her shoulder
