I knocked on the door and felt my Girlfriend tighten her grip on my hand as we waited for it to be answered.
I stroked the side of her hand with my thumb gently, causing her to move closer.
"It'll be okay princess," I said, kissing her head.
The door opened to reveal my dad and two sisters screaming behind.
He winced at their noise, "hi".
"Hi," I replied, squeezing May's hand, "This is May... my... girlfriend..."
My dad looked shocked at first which twisted a knot of nerves in my stomach.
What if he didn't accept me?
I've already had more than a few problems with 'coming out' to my mum and nan, (who raised me), but I didn't expect my dad to be so bothered since I hardly ever see him...
"Nice to meet you," he said with a smile, shaking her hand. May shook his hand back, looking relieved.
"Come in. "
What a relief.
