Raymond and Nancy

The Permission (Raymond's P.O.V)

When the party was over, I was going to my room, but I saw Godfather Lincoln was sitting on the couch.

"Hi", I greeted. "Are you alright?"

"Yes", Godfather Lincoln answered. "I am just resting."

I froze because I wanted to talk to him about everything but I could not. Probably, he saw I kissed his eldest daughter. Godfather Lincoln looked at me.

"Do you want to talk?", he asked.

I nodded. Next, I sat beside him on the couch.

"Did you witness it?", I asked.

"Are you talking about that fact that you kissed my daughter?", Godfather Lincoln asked.

"Yes", I answered while I nodded my head.

"How do you feel about her?", he asked again.

"I developed feelings for Nancy throughout the trip."

"Are those feelings genuine, or are they Summer flings?"

Wow, I admit that question made me contemplate.

"If you are in love with my daughter, I hope it does not relate with the fact that your mom and Nancy's mom are friends since pre-school", Godfather Lincoln added.

I could not say anything.

"Raymond", Godfather Lincoln called me as he touched my shoulder. "I know you are a great man, but you need to be certain if you really love Nancy."

Suddenly, I got a surge of bravery as I answered, "I do. I love Nancy, and the feelings I am having for her are not Summer flings. I am certain I want your daughter to be my bride. Please, Mr. Bell, may I have your blessing to date then marry your daughter: Nancy."

Godfather Lincoln's smile widened then he answered, "Raymond, you have my blessings."
