That Predicted Love Story (Princeton Fanfic)

Chapter 13

I walked out and Diggy followed me. He hugged and didn't say anything. It felt so nice having his arms round me, but I couldn't help telling myself it was only cus of what I just found out.

'Did you know?' I wanted him to say no but looking in his eyes, it would've hurt more if he lied to me. I smiled a little then breathed out deeply. The silence returned.

We heard footsteps behind us then the person had cleared their throat. Diggy turned around to see who it was. 'Can I have a moment with my daughter?' Diggy squeezed me and kissed me on the forehead then left me and Walter to have a moment.

'Now do you see why I didn't want you getting involved with guys at such an early age?'

'Dad, I think my heart is broken, can you spare me the lecture?'

He chuckled. 'I ain't good with this. Your momma always told me I'd have to do this someday, but never knew it'd be cus of a boy.'

'What did you think it'd be about?'

'You falling off your bike and grazing your knees and then me telling you that getting back on is the way to success.'

'That's a bit hypocritical.'

'How?'

'Well, wasn't this like riding a bike, I fell off cus you got in front, I got back on, but it was in the dark cus you forbade me and cus of you, I got hurt.'

'No you got hurt cus you were disobedient.'

'I'm a kid, you tell me no, I do the exact opposite. Why? Cus I know it will piss you off!'

He laughed heartedly. 'When you did learn to swear anyway?'

'Member that one time when we went grocery shopping and the man knocked you over with his trolley?'

He laughed again. 'Yeah I remember. Your mum doesn't know does she?' I shook my head. 'That's my baby girl!'

There was a brief moment of silence. We just sat there looking at the view and admiring nature.

'You know I like that boy Diggy, why didn't you just date him?'

'We're friends dad!'

'My baby momma and I were friends before we got married.' He stopped and deep sighed. 'Look, what I'm tryna say is, your first time will always lie to you, you think you're right and it's genuine, but like you learnt for yourself, feelings be cray.'

I looked at him and he looked at me and we both laughed so hard.

'I'm sorry I tried to get in the way of your learning.' We smiled at each other and I lay in his arms and he kissed my hair like the good old times.

'I love you daddy!'
