Chapter 1 - Wake Up

"Oh Erin I'm sorry it took so long for me to say this but," Alex started to explain "I love you!"

I couldn't be happier at what I just heard, the love of my life finally admitted he loves me! Ohmygod he's staring at me, crap! I forgot to answer him. "Alex I love you too" I smiled sweetly at him, our gazes locked for a moment before his gaze started to travel down and rested on my lips. 'Wow, this is the best day ever' I thought excitedly.

Just then his head started to move closer, to mine, our lips getting closer and closer each second. They were millimetres away from touching when-

BEE-BEEP! BEE-BEEP!

"Ugh" I groaned as I got up to turn my alarm off, seriously why did it always have to go off at the worst time possible? "I was really enjoying that dream" I stated moodily, whilst rubbing the sleep from my eyes. I don't even know why I get up at 5:30 in the morning just for school, but for some reason I just can't seem to stop. Maybe it's cosmic? I don't know.

Anyway I can't sleep again now, so I might as well get up and get ready for my first day back at school after one hell of a summer! That's right my summer was epic, more so that I can hardly describe it in words. The part that I'll always remember the most though was when I met my dad, for the first time.

Flashback

I just remember standing there at the airport thinking that life really was moving too fast for my liking. God I really am nervous. A hundred questions buzzed around in my head but the main one was 'what if he didn't like me?' it's seems preposterous but it is highly possible, as for all I know he has a family now. One that's much better than just me.

Before I knew it, it was 12 'o' clock and the private jet landed, and out stepped a man who I assumed was my father.

Once the man had fully stepped out of the plane I managed to get a good look at him as he was making his way over towards me. He really was quite handsome (I don't mean that in a pervy way, it's just a fact), he was quite a tall looking man, with short brown hair, with a stubbly beard and moustache to go with it. He also had dark green eyes with a hint of brown, I guess that's where I get the darkness from in my eyes as mine are a dark brown, but my mums are a light brown. All I can say about my dad is he looks good, especially since he's like thirty-something now, at least that's what my mum told me.

As he was walking closer I began to freak out a little, I was so nervous about meeting him, it caused me to give myself a few mental slaps while yelling at myself to 'get it together!'. When he finally reached me he had a warm smile on his face that I just couldn't help but mirror on my own, I don't know what it is about him but he just made me want to smile. I decided that I should be the first one to speak since I didn't want to seem rude and make him talk first, "hi," yeah nice going Erin way to make yourself seem smart! "um....I-I'm Erin it's n-nice to m-meet you" I stuttered out sounding really stupid, 'great now he's going to think your weird because you can't even say hello' I mentally scolded myself. I felt a blush rise to my cheeks as I waited for him to talk to me, he just seemed to be staring, 'oh god, I hope this is my father not just some random person!' I coughed uncomfortably and that seemed to snap my father, or who ever this was, out of his trance.
