Indeed, trouble was just around the corner for our two unlikely heroes...
It became apparent that Jackie had been dedicating time and part of her life to me.
She didn't tell anyone else about our relationship, but out of fear.
...people can be judgemental assholes, and so I kept our relationship a secret to everyone, as well.
But every secret eventually comes back to haunt us... And that's exactly what happened to me and Jackie.
Her father noticed she was basically glued to her phone all day and checked her phone every now and then, trying to find the cause...
...I wonder what he was expecting...
Anyway, Jackie always found a way to delete kik in time, so that her father wouldn't find out about us...that sneaky little devil, hehe...
Her father would administer some pretty harsh punishment, not letting her use the phone for weeks...
...but Jackie ALWAYS found a way to wriggle out of the punishments!
So this went on for a while, and I didn't think much of it.
...until her father got a hold of her phone and Texted me....... The DREAD, oh God...
If anyone here has ever talked to their in-law before, then you know how bad it feels!
...but think of how you'd feel if you were texting him...and he was impatient like a toddler in front of a Chuck e Cheeses!
...Sheesh, man. What, no tutorial level?
Eventually her father asked to Skype call with me, and I can't say I felt any better...
I had to be PERFECT, so I prepared myself for absolutely anything.
So, after a sleepless night, at 5am, I call her father and...he just starts drowning me with questions.
Not angrily, mind you!
But... More...Friendly than anything!
Yeah, that's what really surprised me... He actually said he considered me his son, which was extremely flattering.
Apparently Jackie explained to him how happy I made her and... I guess he understood that I was perfect for her!
Oh, and by the way, he asked me a lot of questions surrounding Italy, in general... Weird, but I answered!
Weirdly enough him and Jackie root for two different Italian soccer teams!
...I'm not into soccer, like...at all, and thankfully that didn't upset him.
As the call drew to a close, me and Jackie relaxed and awkwardly tried to explain our flustered emotions to one another, via text.
"THAT. WAS. SIIICK!"
"HOLY SHIT I KNOW, I WAS SO SCARED!"
"DUDE, SO WAS I! HOLY FUCK ON A WAFFLE!"
After that, my summer officially started...and then came another era of different feelings... But you'll have to read ahead to find out!
Continue to chapter two?
I'll see you there, dear reader!
