Seems Like A Lifetime

What are you waiting for?

"Dad, you here?" I yelled as I walked into his house.

His wife greeted me.

"Hey Spencer, your dad is in the den."

"Thanks, is Bobby here?" I asked.

"Yeah, hes upstairs in his room."

"Well tell him I said hi."

"Okay sweetie." I never really did grow to like her, but my dad loves her so I pretend.

He got remarried about 5 years ago and moved back here to Ohio.

I was glad because I got to see him more.

He has another son, Bobby.

He's a super cute kid.

He calls me auntie Spencer even though we've explained to him numerous times that I'm not his aunt I'm his sister.

I mean I'm 28 years old, if I was four I'd think I was my aunt too.

I went downstairs to the den where my dad was watching t.v.

"Hey dad."

"Hey Spence," he said hugging me.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Well I kinda need some advice on something."

My dad was the only one I had ever told about the kiss, and I only told him about three years ago.

But he said he already knew something was between us.

He actually thought we would end up together because of how close we became after Aiden left.

He said he kinda hoped for it because he could see that she made me really happy.

My dad was always so cool about stuff like that.

Unlike my mom.

"What about?" he asked.

"Next week is King Highs' 10 year class reunion and I'm freaking out." I replied.

"Why sweetie, you afraid of seeing Ashley after all these years?" he asked.

"Yeah," I admitted.

I was terrified actually.

"Ah honey. I'm sure she has forgiven you, it's been ten years," he stated.

"Dad, she called and wrote me everyday at school for a year and I never wrote back or answered even one of her calls, I'm not so sure about that." I replied.

"Spencer, you were scared, the feelings that you had for her were different and confusing and when she kissed you they multiplied and you weren't sure how to handle them, and having a homophobic mother didn't make things any easier, but I'm sure she'll understand if you just explain it to her like that." he stated.

"So you think I should go?"

"Yeah, I think that you shouldn't miss an opportunity like this because of fear of the unknown." he said.

"Thanks dad." I said hugging him.

"No problem sweetie, how are my grandkids?" he asked smiling.

"Same ol', same ol'. Oh apparently your grandson is quite the ladies man." I said.

"Well thats because he takes after his grandfather, what did you expect." he said smiling.

"I don't think Rebbecca would like that dad," I said playfully.

"You're right, don't tell her I said that." he smilied.

"We'll I better be getting out of here I have to go get dinner ready and I guess pack." I said getting up to leave.
