"Do you wanna go back now?" I hear Cammie ask me, I look at her blankly and slowly begin to nod my head. She stands up and holds out her hand for me to take. I take her hand and suddenly feel a burst of confidence. I know I can face my dad so long as Cammie is beside me. "Cam.. Please stay with me when I talk to my dad.. I can't do it without you"
"Shan of course I'm not going to leave you alone, I'm here for you baby.. No matter what." I kiss her hand and remain holding it the remainder of the journey. As Cammie pulled up to the driveway, I felt my hands begin to get clammy and my heart was pounding against my chest. I knocked on the front door, it didn't feel right to just walk in after what happened. As soon as the door opened, my dad looked at me.. He looked as bad as I was, and it was clear he had been crying too. He gave me a small hug, and when he let go I saw him smile at Cammie a bit.. Wonder what that's about?
"Come on girls, sit.. We need to talk about this properly"
"Okay dad, you just say whatever.. If I don't like it then.. Cam and I are leaving okay?"
"Shannon Beveridge.. I've always known since you were little that.. There was something different about my little girl. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. I was hoping it wasn't that you were gay.. But I knew, even without knowing.. That you were in fact gay. I haven't known how to feel about it, and I haven't known how to deal with accepting it. I believe that God makes everybody as they are. As they were meant to be. God never makes mistakes.. And he definitely did not make a mistake when it came to you. Shan.. You're beautiful, funny, kind, you have a good heart.. And you clearly have a good taste in women" he chuckled a little, and so did Cam and I.
"It's hard for me to accept that you're gay, but that doesn't mean I don't accept you. You're my daughter Shan, I love you so much and no matter what would've happened, I would have never let you walk out of my life for being gay. You've never done anything wrong in your life, barely ever put a foot wrong.. What kind of a parent would I be if I punished you for loving somebody? God is a big part of my life, but you're the biggest part. Shan what I'm trying to say is.. I know you're all grown up, and obviously in a serious relationship with Cammie here. But no matter how big and strong you get, you'll always be my baby girl.. And I'll never stop loving you.."
He got quiet at this point and I could see the tears in his eyes.
"Dad you.. You really mean all of that?"
"Of course I do Shannon, I love you.. And I can see that Cammie is good to you, and takes care of you."
I looked over at Cammie and smiled "yeah, yeah she's amazing"
"Come here Shan, give your old man a hug like the old days"
I got up and embraced my dad, tighter than we had done in a while, he whispered in my ear "Camden is a keeper Shan, don't ever let her slip away you hear me"
"I won't dad, I promise!" I whispered back. After this Cammie and I went upstairs, I was drained from all the crying and worrying. As I laid in my bed, Cammie got in the other side and she cuddled into me. It felt weird because usually I'm the one cuddling into her but.. It was a good weird, I liked it a lot. I kissed Cammie's forehead and smiled at her, she lifted herself up onto her elbows and laid on me, she connected our lips and still after two months, these sparks still flew. I felt her tongue begging for entrance, of course I granted it like always, then I pulled away. "Hey cam.. Why was my dad so nice to you? And why did he smile at the door?"
"Oh well.. When I went back to get something.. I actually went back to talk to him.. I guess I kinda talked some sense into him maybe and got through to him a little?"
Oh my gosh. This girl is amazing. She's so perfect in every way.. I love her.. I have to tell her.. Right now.. I look into her eyes and realise I haven't said anything for a while.
"Shan? Say something? You're not mad at me are you? For talking to your dad without your permission? Cause I really was trying to help. I know how you felt and everything and I didn't like seeing you up-"
"I love you Camden Mary-Allyse Scott".
She stops..
"Really?"
I nod, fearful of what will happen next.. What if she doesn't feel the same way..
"I love you too Shannon Nicole Beveridge!" She kisses all over my face repeatedly. "I love you so much" we both say at the same time and laugh.***TimeSkip***
We must have fallen asleep because when we wake, my dad was shouting from downstairs, telling us to come watch a film with him. It was dark outside too. Cammie and I groggily trudged downstairs and fell backwards onto the couch, my dad on the arm chair on Cammie's side. "Sorry for waking you girls, I just wanted some family time.. I count you as family too now Cammie.. We're watching a horror? Cool with that Cam? I won't ask you Shan cause I know that's a no" he laughs thinking he's hysterical
"Haha very funny dad!"
"Yeah I'm fine with scaring Shan" cammie laughs.
"What is this scare the crap out of Shannon day?"
"Yes" they both reply at the same time. I sigh and cuddle into Cammie, already terrified because of the music. Two hours later and the horrific film had finally finished. Cam and I said goodnight to my dad and went upstairs. "Oh Shan I forgot, my girlfriend is coming over tomorrow to meet you and Cammie too"
"Okay dad, I shout back. Love you"
"Love you both too"
Cam and I laugh and fall on top of her, not bothered to move when I fall asleep straight away, not before telling her I love her of course. I'll never tire of telling her that.-3 updates in one day.. How lucky are you guys haha?
