Love or Desire

Chapter 24

Emma's POV
Around four o'clock I asked Killian if he wanted me to take him home,

"Sure love, thankyou," I smiled.

"Anytime," the drive to his house was silent but comfortable. When we got to his house I parked. He unbuckled and I pouted,

"What no goodbye kiss?" He chuckled,

"I want you to formally meet my father," I was shocked.

"Are you sure?" He nodded,

"Of course," he took my hand and led me to the house. He knocked on the door because his dad still had his keys. His dad opened the door and he looked much different from the other time I saw him. He didn't reek of alcohol, and he looked presentable.

"Hello son, who is this lass?" Killian rolled his eyes,

"Father this is my girlfriend Emma, Swan meet my father," I forced a smile to be polite,

"Nice to meet you Mr. Jones," he took my hand and kissed it,

"Pleasure is mine, and please, call me Brennan," I nodded and whispered in Killian's ear,

"So that's where you get it from," he looked confused.

"Get what from?" I smiled,

"That's the same thing you did when we met, must be a family thing," he took my hands,

"I'll see you tomorrow love, I love you," I pecked his cheek,

"I love you too," I got into my bug and headed home. I wonder what Ruby's doing.

Killian's POV
I got inside and closed the door.

"Seems like a nice lass," I nodded,

"Aye, best thing that's ever happened to me," he stopped cooking,

"You love her?" I smiled remembering Emma's laugh,

"Very much,"

"Well, let's eat shall we?" I nodded. We sat down and started eating the salmon be made,

"This is pretty good father. Haven't had a meal at this table in ages," he put down his fork,

"Aye, about that. I wanted to say I'm sorry. I realized today that I've been the worst father possible, and I have no idea what the hell has been going on in my son's life. So please son, enlighten me," I set down my utensils,

"Well it's a long story,"

"I've got all the time in the world," where to start?

"Okay, so when we moved here I was in the eighth grade. The first friend I made was Robin. He introduced me to everyone and I became very popular. I was the most attractive and was a huge flirt. During freshman year I started to have my one night stands and be a party animal. Everyone loved me. I was football Captain, had the bad boy rep, and was a playboy. I kept this up until recently. I met Emma and she's different than any one I've ever met. I made a bet to get into her pants and I did. We were friends and I was an ass. She was kidnapped and I found her. We jut became a couple, and yesterday we were both held at gunpoint. Right now everything's just peachy," after I finished I slumped in my chair. My father had an astonished look on his face,

"Son, I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you. You deserve so much better than what you've had,"

"Well it's too late now isn't it?" He put his hand on my shoulder,

"When Liam died I became a drunk. And I wasn't there for you or your mother, but when Charlotte died...it was more than I could take. I remember drinking a lot. But I don't remember what I was like when I was drunk," I scoffed.
