Taming His Treasure.

Daddy's home.

Chapter#3

It was one evening when I was hanging out with my friends. We were standing outside a mall, gathered around my car. Michael, Katie, Sebastian, Daniel and I were waiting for someone.

"He will be here any second now" Sebastian said running a hand down his face. He was a tall, muscular and an utterly handsome guy. His blue orbs reminded me of the ocean. He's manly, handsome, too caring and a gentleman. With all these qualities, I couldn't just let him go.

He wrapped one arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I looked up to him and pecked his cheeks. Then he flashed his beautiful smile at me.

"PDA! PDA! PDA!" someone yelled and everyone diverted their attention to, Micheal who was trying to cover his eyes while pointing to us. He's the most childish one of us all. Everyone laughed and just shrugged him off.

It has been 15 minutes now and that guy is not here yet. I pulled off my leather jacket and tied its arms around my waist.

Suddenly a car parked beside my car and a guy walked out of it, towards us. He looked so familiar. I had no idea why, but he stopped in his tracks when his eyes landed on me and then Georgia, and then he just looked down.

"Essa, my man" Sebastian pulled him in to a weird guy hug. He also greeted the rest of the guys but did not greet Georgia and I. It surprised me because no guy has ever ignored me.

"Have I seen you somewhere before?" I voiced my question out loud. He looked up to me for merely two seconds and then lowered his gaze.

"Yeah, you were with my brother when he was lost" he said looking down to the ground. That's when I remembered who he was. He was that annoying kid's brother, who was lost in the hotel.

He asked Sebastian if he could talk to him for a minute so, except Sebastian and I, everyone else headed towards the mall. I knew I was invading his privacy but I didn't care. I was a curious girl and I wanted to know what he was going to say. Besides no one can tell me what to do.

"Don't mind her. She's harmless" Sebastian said pulling me even closer to him. That Essa guy looked between Sebastian and I before speaking.

"I can't come in with you today. I have some work to do"

"But you are already here and if it's about money then don't worry about that. It's all on me today" Sebastian said patting Essa's shoulders.

"No, you don't get it. I will explain it to you later, alright?" Essa said still looking down on the ground.

Not being able to control my anger anymore because of how stupid this guy was, I yelled out " Are you a moron or what? Apparently, you made us wait for half an hour for nothing?"

"Baby, calm down" Sebastian said trying to calm my raging anger. I just huffed and turned away to join others.

After a while, Sebastian was alone when he joined us and once again wrapped his arms around my waist. I assumed that, that guy didn't join us after all.

"Who was that weird guy?" I asked him.

"He's a friend of mine from work. He's just a little shy around girls" he said while looking at the price tag of an awesome black jeans.

"You have some weird friends" I smirked at him for knowing what kind of clothing I prefer to wear.

"Daliah look at this, you'll look beautiful in these" I was not that in to shopping and Sebastian was totally the opposite of me. He said he loved shopping for me.

***

It was around 2 in the morning when Sebastian dropped me off to my house. I was standing in front of my door, trying to unlock it, but apparently the key won't go in.

"Open you cursed door!!! Ugh" for the sixth time, I kicked the door in frustration, but it still didn't budge. I gave up and sat down for a moment. I was tired and sleepy.

Taking a breath, I rubbed my eyes once more. Just when I was about to call Sebastian, the front door unlocked from inside. When I got up and turned around, I found Dad standing on the door.

Normally it goes like, the daughter would run up to her dad and hug him because she hadn't seen him for months, but my case was different.

"Welcome home dad" we made an eye contact and without uttering any other word, I dashed in to my room.

"Daliah wait!" I heard him call out, but I was tired and in no condition to talk to him.

There was a soft knock on my door. "What do you want dad?"

"Is that how you welcome your dad, who just came home after 4 months? And hey isn't it a bit late to come home? I think we went through this before that you should be home before 11. " he tried to lighten the mood by acting like an actual father.

"I don't care, please close the door on your way out" I got inside the covers and closed my eyes. I felt him come closer to me, but I tried to ignore it. He placed a gentle peck on my forehead and just like that, he left the room, closing the door behind him.

"Goodnight dad" I whispered in to the thin air.

***

When I woke up few hours later, a very pleasant smell hit my nose. Although I didn't dare to walk out of my room. I just didn't want to face him. Just looking at him made me angry. I didn't want to talk to him and say something that I would regret later.

After a while of contemplating, I walked out of my room. But before doing that I dressed up and texted Sebastian to pick me up.

When I walked outside, my stomach grumbled due to the delicious food set on the huge table.

Dad walked out of the kitchen holding two glasses of orange juice. "Good morning Dear" he grinned showing off his wrinkles which had formed around his eyes.

"I made breakfast for my litt-" he couldn't complete his sentence because of a loud horn from outside.

"Have fun eating it" I smirked and turned around and walked towards the front door.

"Daliah please wait! Give me a chance to apologise!" He jogged after me and tried to stop me.

"How many more chances dad?" I turned around for a moment and looked in to his eyes.

He looked down with guilt and hurt flashing through his eyes.

I picked up my mobile from the couch, where I had thrown it last night and walked towards the door. Leaving my dad alone.
