Chase P.O.V
Standing at the bottom of the stairs I pace around trying to keep myself calm. The longer Mr. Blakemoore is gone, the more I fear and worry she will not give me a chance. Time ticks on and it feels like it is slowing down. Mr. Blakemoore appears at the top of the stairs, so I hold my breath waiting for him to tell me either yes or no.
As he descends the stairs I try and get a read of his face. When he reaches the bottom of the stairs, he looks at me and sighs. I know what the answer is. "She's not wanting to talk, is she?"
He shakes his head, and it feels like my chance has puffed up in smoke. "No son she's not but she did say she will talk to you but not right now. I'm sorry Chase I tried to get her to see reason, but she thinks you've got back together with Candace."
She's kidding me, right? I tell her that I love her, and I fell in love with her the moment our eyes met after she bumped into me on her first day. And she thinks I would throw that away an hour or so if that to get back with the slut who cheated on me and is fucking up my happiness for her sick and twisted game.
"I could never get back with her Mr. Blakemoore. Candace cheated on me and is trying to play mind tricks on me for her own enjoyment. Your daughter is the only one who has been front and center in my life, my head, and in my heart for months. I will not let that evil bitch come between Savannah and me ever again."
He clasps me on my shoulder "You are a better man than I expected you to be Chase, and if I'm being honest, you are better than half the guys she dated back in North Carolina, and as you know from our talk at work I am not an easy guy to please. But I will tell you this if Savannah told me, it was you who put that heartbreaking look on her face when she got home, I would have pulled my shotgun out on you. I respect you and your family enough to give you a chance and listen to your side and I'm so glad I did."
"Umm... thank you I think." Well, that's just scared the shit out of me. Having my girlfriend's father threaten me with his gun. I feel for those guys who upset her before she moved to California. "But I promise you sir I will never put that look on her face ever again, I will make her see that Candace will never come between us again. I will speak to my father and get a restraining order put in place so she cannot get in contact with us or come close to either of us again. She has dictated my life too much and I've had it. I cannot and will not allow her to drag Savannah into her stupid childish games."
"That's what I like to hear son, you both deserve so much more than what that girl is doing to you. If you need any legal help, please let me know as I have a very good friend back home who will do anything for Savannah."
"I may take you up on that offer sir but first I have to get her to talk to me. I don't know how long I'll wait before going crazy but for her, I will." Mr. Blakemore walks me to the door and sees me out. "I guess all I can do right now is to go home and wait for her to reach out to me."
"That's all I can suggest you to do right now Chase. I know my daughter and she will come to her senses; I think she just wants to get her birthday over with first and sleep on it, and then she will reach out to you. I give you, my word."
He opens the door for me, and I walk out giving one last hopeful glance up the stairs hoping she'll be there. "Thank you for giving me a chance and for trying sir, if she ever ends up like this again, I will not blame you for taking your gun out on me. I may even be the one to pull the trigger as right now my heart is breaking just knowing she's upstairs hurting because of my past."
"Just remember Chase I am here to help and to listen I am not like many fathers with daughters who will kill for them. I will give the guy a chance to talk and explain, I'm sure your father is the same with your sister."
HA, I doubt that. If any guy looked at Jen wrong, he doesn't just have my dad there I'll be there too. Gregg is lucky I gave him that second chance with her otherwise he wouldn't have that happy look on his face right now.
Walking to my car I stop and listen out as I hear music and Savannah's voice. Looking around I follow the sound of her voice. I walk around the side of the house and come to the backyard. Standing in the shadows I listen to Savannah singing a country song. It sounds familiar but I can't picture what it is.
When she sings, she sounds so beautiful. Hearing her makes me want to do something I've never done before. And that gives me an idea. Taking out my phone I text the one person I know who could help me with this.
Chase: Hey Josephine, I need your help with something. Are you available tomorrow morning?
Josephine: Sure, Chase I'm available tomorrow morning. Wanna meet at my studio at 8 am? Wanna tell me what this is about?
Chase: Yeah, uhh I wanna record a song for someone. Her favorite song. Could that be something you can do with a whole lot of autotuning?
Josephine: Yeah, I can do that no sweat, and the autotuning I can do that in my sleep. But what I don't get is you wanna sing for Candace? You've never wanted to sing before. Why the sudden change of mind?
Chase: I'm telling you this once and once only. I AM NOT DATING CANDACE ANYMORE. I wanna do this for someone else for a birthday gift. What makes you think I would do this for Candace?
Josephine: When you left mysteriously, she came and crashed the dance and announced to everyone that you guys are back together.
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
