An Unexpected Love

28- Why This!

Since the day Caleb confessed to me that he liked me I can say thing are going smooth just the way they should go.

Today I had told him to come to my house so that my parents could meet him. He was supposed to get here at 5:00pm so I had the opportunity to clean the house, help my mother prepare dinner, and then take a bath and get ready. Around 2:00pm my mom told me to start helping her so I did. When it was 3:30 mom said that I could go and freshen myself and that she would do the rest of the dinner by herself. I went to a bath, straitened my hair, did my makeup natural, and I decided to wear some jeans and a blouse since I was at my house I didn't want to be to extravagant. At exacly 5:00pm the doorbell rang and when I opened the door he was standing there looking better than ever in some black jeans and a blue button down shirt with the sleeves roled up to his elbows. What surprised me the most was the bouquet of pink roses that he got me. It was beautiful. I opened the door wider so he could enter, he hugged me slightly and my parents where standing behind me so I presented him to them. We went and sat in the living room.

My parents made him lots of questions like, what would he like to study or where. Caleb answered every  very good, he decided on what to answer very carefuly. I noticed that my father didn't kind of like him and it makes me desperated not to know what to do at this moment.

"Well it's enough of asking. Caleb comon lets go outside and take a walk it's still clear outside." My parents nodes, I was surprised that they didn't say anything. I grabed Caleb's hand and we walked outside.

My backyard is big, there is enough space to walk and everything. We were silence and I really don't know how to brake the silence between us.

"Your parents ask to many things." He said lauphing.

"Yeah, they do but thats just because I suffered once and they don't want me to pass it again twice. You answered very good their questions."

He looked at me deep in my eyes. "Yeah, I understand that. I wont make you suffer Emma, I can promise you that."

I looked at him to, I hope he doesn't hurt me like Richard did. "I know you won't and I hope you never do, Caleb. I'm trusting you my heart." He got close to me and my heart beat began to raise. Just when he was almost touching my lips my father came out, I guess he was going to look for something outside.

"Hey!" My dad screamed, very anoyed. Caleb and me jumped from the surprise. I didn't even think he would catch us almost kissing.

"Dad, I can explain." I said with woried voice.

"You don't need to explain me anything I already saw enough. You told me he was only your friend not somethimg else Emma. I trusted your words.

"Dad! I didn't lie to you. We are friends!" My dad walked closer with anger and I saw Calebs face change mood, he was... scared.

"I will tell you something Emma and this is my final choice. You wont be able to see this kid anymore okay. I don't want you to see him again. If he was your friend he should've respected you. I'm mad Emma at what I was about to see. I won't change my mind and your mother won't make me change it either!" He kept screaming at me like if I was a little kid doing something wrong. But I really didn't understand why his choice, this isn't anything bad for him to react like this. I felt tears fall from my eyes uncontrolably.

"Sir. I am so sorry. I know I should've respected that. But I can say I am so in love with your daughter. Nither you nor anyone can change that and I can't hide it. I love her okay and I don't want to stop talking to her or seing her. Please." He's voice k8nd of broke there.

"I already took a choice." My dad said looking at us with cold ayes.

"Dad! You can't do this to me!" More tears beggan to fall. "It's not fair!"

"It's my last word Emma, don't insist me."

"Don't do it." I throwed myself on the floor. "Why do you have to be so mean?!" I can't believe dad thinks like this. Didn't he fall in love with mom, this isn't anny fair. Tears kept falling and I couldn't control my self. He continued walking and went inside the house.

"Emma darling, please stand up." He grabbed me by the waiste to stand me up. "You know I won't give up on you ok. I will fight for you like I told your dad. I know it isn't fair and I neven know why he was mad, but things will get better lets just give him time. Be strong. Until then I will just go see you school, what do you think?"

"Why does this have to happen to me Caleb? Everything was going great, but it just had to happen." I kept crying. "But I will be strong and that sounds great, will you really do that?"

"Yep."

I heard steps behind us and I looked fast just to see mom standing there. She gave me a small smile and walked nearer.

"Caleb, I'm sorry for everything, for this. Excuse my husband he's just not having a good time and he suffered to much with Emmas ex he just doesn't want the same thing to happen to her."

"Yes ma'am I understand but I can promise you two that I won't break her heart, I know what i have by my side, I will never do anything to brake her heart. As I told your husband and Emma I will fight for her okay? I will do what ever it takes me just to be by her side." My mom smiled and looked at me.

"I know you won't Caleb." I stared at her with wide eyes. What is she saying?

"Time is up!" I heard dad scream from inside.

"Now go." Said my mom.

"Okay ma'am." He gave her a tight hug and walk to where I am now standing with blank ayes, what's happening here. He gives me a hug. "Remember I will vist you okay?" He whispered.

"Okay, just let me know." I whispered back. He walked to his car and thats when he left. I looked at mom and she simply smiled at me. I went upstairs to my room stared at the ceiling tears falling from my eyes and I felt asleep.
