A Different Side

Chapter 14

Darion-

"I don't want you seeing my daughter."

I shook my head. How did I not figure that this was Rya's dad. How the hell could I? I was over her house but he was never there. She didn't like to talk about who her dad was or what he did for a living.

Wow all the signs were there how could I be so dumb not to read them.

"All due respect king, I love Rya and I'm not gonna leave her just because I work with her father. If I would've known you were her father I wouldn't have ever crossed those lines, but it happened and I hope you'll respect and accept our relationship."

I looked over at Rya who was sitting down looking our way along with everyone else at the table.

I looked back to king who was looking me in my eyes. He took a deep breath and walked back to the table. I followed shortly after him.

With me dating his daughter it could cause so much trouble. With the connects I got from him but not only that her fathers respect. That means so much to a girl and I can't mess up what I have with Rya.

"How long ya been dating?" King asked.

"Three months dad." Rya said stuffing a piece of steak in her mouth.

"Did you have sex with my daughter?" King asked causing Rya's brother Marcus to choke on his water. And Mayleen to lightly tap him on the lap. She shook her head while king looked at her.

"Dad!" Rya said slamming her fork down.

"What he can't answer a simple question?" King asked drinking his dark liquor.

"Really dad I don't wanna hear if she did. Besides your getting drunk and I don't think that's a good idea." Marcus said changing the subject.

"Right." Ashley said agreeing with Marcus.

"How long have you too been dating?" Ashley asked Mayleen.

"We've been dating for....about nine months" She said looking at king.

"Wow that's it?" Rya said trying to sound sarcastic.

"Umm yea." She said swallowing her red wine.

I stuffed some Mac and cheese into my mouth as the awkward silence came unto us again.

"How long have you been pregnant?" She asked Ashley.

Rya again slammed her fork on her plate." Do you have kids?" She asked with an attitude. King slammed his fork down and gave Rya that look.

"I have three boys, but one of them was killed recently." Mayleen said gulping the rest of the wine.

"I'm sorry for your lost." Rya said looking down. We all said sorry but all Mayleen did was call the waiter to the table and ask for a bottle of wine.

Rya must've really hit a soft spot.

"Well I'm four months." Ashley said rubbing her belly.

"Oh that's wonderful!" Mayleen said.

Excuse me." Marlon said excusing herself.

This niqquah been moody all night.

"Excuse me too." I said getting up. I walked outside and saw him pacing back and forth.

"What's going on?" I asked him.

"Nothing much just stressed out. Ashley, this baby, my mom's tripping about being a grandma." He said laughing nervously.

"Bro bro you gon be good. You ain't got shyt to worry about. Except for Ashley go into labor. She gon be screamin and shyt." I said making us both crack up.
