In my Dungeon

Chapter 39

Mallory's POV

I take a deep breath and keep pacing back and forth across the yard when I introduced Zak to my dad I thought it was going great they even talked for a bit but I got a look from my dad and he asked me to go outside so he could talk to Zak. I could only imagine the things my dad could possibly be saying to Zak right now I stop walking and look at my house but I don't see anyone I can't even see Zak through the window I start thinking about what happened to the last boyfriend I brought home he was four years older than me and I was only sixteen years old at the time but that relationship was nothing compared to what I have with Zak. I glance at the house again what is taking so long just to be having a simple conversation I get bored of pacing so I walk over and sit down on the tailgate of the truck and wait for Zak to come outside.

Zak's POV

I get nervous when Mallory's dad sends her outside because he wants to talk to me alone I take a deep breath and prepare myself for what he's going to say to me once the door shuts behind her he turns and looks at me. "I need to know how you feel about my daughter and what your intentions are with her." I knew this question was coming and I wasn't going to lie to her father I look up at him and meet his eyes. "I love your daughter very much she's very important to me I don't know what I would do without her and I'm not just saying this to you because you are her father." He looks at me "You make her happy I like you more than the last guy she brought home and she's had a crush on you for a long time." Hearing this makes me feel good it also felt good that her parents approve of me I feel the relief wash through my body I had over thought all of this and I got really nervous over something that wasn't a big deal then her dad looks at me and I can tell he has another question. "Do you see yourself having a future with my daughter?" I always said I would never get married but now I was beginning to think about changing my mind I can actually see myself getting married to Mallory then it dawns on me and I know that I actually do want to marry her I look up at her dad. "Yes sir I do see a future with her I want to marry her I'm not going to ask her in the future but I do want to one day." His next words catch me off guard "You have my blessing and my permission you can go outside now if you'd like I think I've kept you long enough." I nod "Thank your sir." I get off the couch then walk outside to find my girlfriend and maybe one day she would possibly be more.

Aaron's POV

The next morning, I walk out of my hotel room and Zak walks up next to me "Hey Aaron can I talk to you for a minute?" I look over at him and I can tell this is going to be a very serious conversation. "Sure bro what's up?" He takes a deep breath "Meeting Mallory's dad went great and while I was talking to him I realized something." I nod and think to myself keep going we might actually be getting somewhere Zak looks at me "I've always said I didn't want to get married and I've changed so much but in a good way and it's not because Mal forced me to and I realized last night that I want to marry Mal." I couldn't believe it I was but I was happy for him too I always knew that someone would come along but then the thing with Vanessa happened and I didn't think Zak would ever get past that and find someone else but he did. "Bro that's great news when do you think you will ask her?' He shrugs his shoulders "I don't know I told her dad it wasn't going to be anytime soon." I nod I really was happy for Zak but right now I wanted to say I told you so but I knew that would be a really bad idea so for now I wouldn't say anything.
