Soclin:A Love Story

My Dad

Chapter 17
Seths POV

Tonight my father was coming home. He's a tall, muscular, ex marine. He's got gray hair and brown eyes. He left the Marines two years ago and now works as a business man. He's been on a trip for work for about 2 months now. He had to go to Tokyo. We were having a dinner party tonight and Joci and Zack were coming.

My mom was in the kitchen making pasta and my sister was setting the table. She looked nervous. Our dad had never met Zack before. He had met Joci but never Zack. She finished setting the table and then picked up her phone. She then ran upstairs then outside. I guess she was going to pick up Zack and Joci.

She opened the door and walked in. Our dad was behind her. My mom ran past me and hugged him. I guess she was happy. Lizzy walked back outside and I followed.

"Take me with you please."

"Fine. But I'm going to be at Jocis for awhile have fun with her parents." We rode to Jocis house in silence. She walked inside and I stayed in the car. Twenty minutes later she walked out in her blood red dress. Joci was right behind her. She was wearing a black and midnight blue dress with silver heels. Damn she looked fiiiinneeee. She got in the car. We again rode in silence until we arrived at Zacks house. Lizzy pulled up into the drive way. She ran up to the door and knocked. Zack came out in a suit. Well I'm sure under dressed. They walked over to the car and Zack sat in the drivers seat. Lizzy made me move to the back. She turned on the radio and again it was a bad rock concert.

We pulled up to the house. Lizzy took a deep breath and walked in first. Then came Zack and finally me and Joci. My dad was sitting on the couch polishing his shotguns. I guess my mom told him about Zack coming.

"Oh hey Gracie, (that's my dad's nickname for Lizzy) Who's the boy?"

"You know Seth he's my twin. Remember your son."

"No I meant the other boy."

"Well dad that's my boyfriend. His name is Zack. He is amazing and sweet and kind. He's helpful and protective. He's perfect. He's the best thing that's ever happened to me. And I'd like it if you didn't shoot him." She walked over and took his guns. He looked shocked. She walked upstairs and put them away in the cabinet.

"So boy, do you like my daughter?" He stood up and walked over to Zack. "Do you respect her?" He got up in his face. "Now you listen here boy, she's my princess not your conquest. She's my little girl and no matter how much she loves you I'm her number one. And if you hurt her I will thet those shot guns and there's nothing she or you can do to stop me."

"No sir I don't like your daughter." My dad scowled. "I love her. And of course I respect her I respect her more than most people. I see where you are coming from, but I would like it if I stayed alive and not get shot" My dad looked confused at first but then he smiled, looked at me and said few words,"I like this kid"
