Between A roc and a Hard Place.

Its not what you think...

2 days later

"Babe stop my dad's in the next room." Hope giggled as she removed Roc's hand from her butt.,

"SO? It's not like he doesn't know I'm here." He countered. Someone knocked on the door.

"Hope did you take my-" David walked in but then stopped when he looked up and saw the way they were laying in the bed. Hope was laying on her back with her shirt slightly lifted . Roc was laying on his side with his head on Hope's stomach with his arm swung across her. "Oh lord when need to talk." He sat down on Hope's bed. The two sat up.

"About what dad?" Hope asked.

"About you and Chresanto." He began. "I know y'all like each other and you getting to that age where you wanna.... You know.. Experience things. I just want you guys to wait until you sure you're ready. "

"We know." Roc spoke up. "We talked about it. I'd never pressure Hope into doing that."

"I know." David said patting him on the back. "Your a good kid. It's amazing how humble you are being that you're a big star and everything." Hope's eyes widened.

"But dad how did you--" Hope stuttered but got cut off.

"Daddy knows everything." He winked and walked to the door. "Oh and Hope, I'm going out of town for a week. I have a case in Atlanta."

"When do you leave?" Hope asked.

"4:30 tomorrow morning. Bill needs me there ASAP." He answered. "You can have company but no wild parties. Chres can even stay over til I come back."

"Oh cool!" Hope bounced up and down excited.

"I don't want no suprise grandkids when I return. Ya hear?"

"Yes sir." They both said in unison and then laughed as David walked out.

3:45 a.m

"Hope wake up." David said as he shook Hope softly.

"Huh? What?" She rubbed her eyes.

"I'm leaving now. I just wanted to say bye." He smiled

"Oh okay bye dad." She rolled over and closed her eyes.

"No hug for ya pops?" He said with a fake sad face. Hope turned over and hugged her father. He kissed her forehead. "I love you Hope behave for the housekeepers and remember what I said."

"I love you too dad. And okay." Hope turned over again and snuggled into her pillow. David smiled and walked out to the awaiting limo.

"OH MY GODDDDDDDD!!! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!"

"What!? Oh my gosh!" Hope jumped up out of her sleep to see not flames but Roc Royal dying laughing in her doorway. "Are you serious!!? She said throwing her tv remote at his head.

"What?" He laughed ducking the remote.

"Why did you do that? You almost gave me a heart attack.!" She fussed at him.

"I was trying to wake you up." He shrugged and sat down.

"And you couldn't just tap me like a normal person." She smacked him in the back of the head.

"I've been trying to wake you up for an hour." He explained. "Ask Jackie." Hope rolled her eyes and went to the bathroom. Hope went into the bathroom took a shower and came out fully dressed.
