Garrett sat up in Bed. He felt abnormally hot especially for being naked with the fan directly on him. He looked over at Lani fast asleep next to him, her lilac hair damp to her face. He sighed knowing exactly what was bothering him. He climbed out of bed slipping on his basketball short and grabbing his phone before making his way outside. He sat on the stairs outside the front door, his finger hovering over the call button of his father's contact.
he quickly hit the call button, there was no going back now.
"hello?" he heard his father's voice.
"hey, sorry if i woke you." Garrett sighed.
"No, it's okay what up?"
Garrett sighed he couldn't understand why he was nervous. "Look, I don't really know you. And it seems that everyone else here is completely over you. I was thinking that maybe we could work things out."
"i..." Desmond didn't know what to say, he was ecstatic that Garrett wanted to patch things up, get to know him. "Yeah, I'd love that."
"Good, I don't know how it'd work it out. But i would like both of my parents in my life. I could as much help as i can get for what coming up." Garrett nervously laughed "I want to ask Lani to marry me. I saw the perfect ring the other day and impulsively bought it."
"go for it, if you really love her. learn from my mistakes. Be there, nurture, and most importantly she's always right and you're always the dumbass in the situation."
garrett full-heartedly laughed at that.
"thanks, I'll let you get back to sleep. Oh and I saw you with Camellia at the park today. She's a bit young for you but don't fuck shit up cause her brother's one of the best fighters I've trained."
it was Desmond's turn to laugh "I've learned from my mistakes."
"Okay, well buenas noches. papá." garrett smiled.
"dormir bien mi hijo"
