The murder

Chapter : 7

" Dad ? " My voice is very soft , inaudible .
" Thank u darling . U should go now . " Erick- dad - says .
" No dear . I've told Ben to say Jen that I will return at night . I will have to stay here . "
" U are most welcome . " My dad says .
Tears roll down my cheeks .
All these years when I desperately wanted to meet dad , he was ....alive ?!
And my mother never said me ?!
Then who was that burned man ?
Why did mom lie ?
Why did Ben lie ?!
WHY DOES EVERYONE LIE ?!
I run into a room , shut it and let out a scream , yet it's low because I've pressed my head against the pillow .
I hear footsteps coming toward the room .
I wipe my tears and hide beneath the bed.
Mom and dad walk in .
" Hmm. Make yourself comfortable darling . " Dad says .
Ah his voice .
Even with all of the anger , I smile .
I've been wanting to here his voice since a long time .
" Thank u sweetie. " Mom says .
I peep and see my mother and father hugging .
It brings back the old memories .
" This shall be your room for the night . " Dad says .
He looks different .
He's grown little beard , But he looks amazing in it . He's gotten more abs and his eyebrows are a lot more better now . His eyes looks more blue-ish than the mix of grey and blue . And he has a tattoo .
My dad has a TATTOO ?!
Let me see . What's written ?
I squint and move a little forward .
Jen .
That's what's written .
Aww.

Wait.
I need to get outta here.
I start panicking.

.
Once dad and mom are out of the room , I quickly wear my boots and open the window and jump out , landing on my butt .
I wail mentally because there is no time for wailing and jump into my Ferrari .
I ride it back home , crying miserably on the way.
I push open the doors and get embraced by Ben.
" What's wrong lovely ? " Ben asks soothing my hair.
I cry in his arms .
" Did u know dad was alive ? " I say , choking the word : Alive.
He's quiet.
I pull myself away from him.
"Did u ? " I ask.
" Yes . " He says looking down.
I gasp , placing my hand on my mouth.
" u didn't tell me ?! "
" I wanted to ! But ma'am told me not to ! "
I'm so angry at him but I understand he had to do it.
" I'm -I'm sorry . " He says , hugging me .
" What else do you know ? " I ask .
He shakes his head.
" Nothing . " He says .
I sniff .
" Why would they do that ? " I ask him , pulling away from him.
He shrugs .
" I don't know . But I do know one thing . " He says.
I look up at him.
" And that is ?" I ask .
He leans In and kisses me.
I'm taken aback , but I kiss back.
" I love you. " He says softly , pressing his forehead against mine.
