Jamie and Lisa had a great day with their dad. He was super fun to be around. Jamie liked him a lot. Lisa, not so much. At first she was so keen to meet him but after spending time with him she could sense that there was something off about him.
"Isn't dad the best" Jamie said smiling.
"I don't know Jamie, there's something about him I don't like" Lisa whispered to him, she sounded scared.
"What's not to like? I think he's awesome" Jamie was Ambrose's biggest fan. Lisa just shrugged.
Ambrose spent the rest of the day shopping with them. He bought Jamie a few video games, he seemed to like Jamie more than Lisa. Lisa didn't mind at all. She wanted nothing to do with him. Ambrose could sense her resentment and there was nothing he could do about it.
"Dad, I wanna go home" Lisa whined.
"Why princess?" He asked whilst gently touching her cheek.
"I'm tired and my feet hurt"
"I'll take you home then" and by home he meant his mansion. Lisa was not okay with that but there was nothing she could do about it.
It was 5 pm. Larissa was still sleeping. She looked so peaceful and beautiful. Keith had decided to cook something for her. He figured after she woke up she wouldn't be in the mood to go out and she'd be starving.
The kitchen wasn't hard to find. Her house wasn't that big. The kitchen was lovely, everything was neatly arranged. He opened the fridge, everything he needed was there. He was gonna make spaghetti bolognese for her.
Both Jamie and Lisa were impressed. Ambrose's house was grand. Way bigger than their mother's place. Lisa preferred her mom's place. Jamie preferred to hang out with dad.
"What's wrong with you Lisa? Why are you being so difficult? Dad is doing his best to bond with us and your behaving like a brat." Jamie had noticed Lisa's growing resentment.
"Is it my fault that I don't like him. He abandoned us for years. Why show up now?" Lisa said
"Maybe there's a logical explanation" Jamie defended Ambrose.
"I doubt it."
"Let's ask him and then you'll see. Our dad is awesome"
Lisa just rolled her eyes.
The first thing Larissa did when she woke up was check the time. It was 6 pm already. She got up from the bed quickly and rushed downstairs. She was hoping to find Keith there. She was very fond of him. She didn't understand why all of a sudden she wanted to be around him. The intense feelings she had once felt as a teenager where returning. She couldn't control it.
There was a wonderful aroma in the air. It was coming from the kitchen. Keith was cooking. She made her way to the kitchen. Keith was setting up the table.
"Whatever it is you're making smells heavenly" she was starving.
"Well you're just in time. The food is ready" he was almost done with the cooking.
Larissa waited impatiently.
Jamie and Lisa, especially Lisa wanted to know why their dad had missed ten years of their lives. Jamie believed there was some logical explanation.
They asked Ambrose. His face became pale. His past was going to ruin everything for him so he decided to lie.
