Lia's POV

"Hey Dad," I jogged to my father, feeling my recently done braids bounce off with me. "There's a lacrosse game tonight at our school, that Jackson invited me to, could you maybe join me?"

I was more than excited for tonight's game, but also severely nervous about meeting Jackson after what happened yesterday...

All I could think of was what I'm supposed to tell him once we meet, how I'm going to act, what am I going to do... anxiety just never leaves  my soul free.

The only way tension could ease is by dragging someone with me, and all I have is my father.

"Tonight?" He nervously chuckled making my smile slightly fade.

"I thought you were off of work today."

"I am, princess," his hands rested on my shoulder as I sat properly beside him. "I have really big plans tonight."

"Plans?" Hearing that from him was odd...very odd. My father is a pretty laid back person once it comes to off days and weekends. He doesn't do 'plans'. "Where are you going?"

"I, uh," he scratched the back of his head, smiling nervously.

I could tell he wasn't very relaxed about spilling what today's plan was.. and so, per usual, it transferred to me.

"Is everything alright, dad?"

"Yeah, yes, everything's totally fine. Don't worry," he reassured me with another nervous grin before I turned my full attention on him. "Listen, Lia..I wasn't planning on having to tell you this way....but look, princess. You understand how this house runs. It's been the same routine for a little too long and I think it might be time for a change."

"Are we moving away?"

"No, no" he chuckled at my wide eyes before resting his hands on mine, taking a deep breath before proceeding "I'm dating and I have a date tonight."

Right at this moment, my insides flipped.

Dad is going on a date.

My father is dating a woman.

"God! Finally!" I excitedly jumped on the couch, watching him look at me confused. "A girl is going to finally join us! I've been waiting for this moment for way too long.."

"For real? You're not ...mad? or anything?" He smiled, making me stand up in front of him.

"Not at all," I squealed, jumping again making him sigh in relief, "I'm very happy! Am I going to meet her soon?"

"We could plan that today..I think you two are going to go just well together."

"When did it happen?" I sat again, ready to bombard him with my curios questions.

This is a new topic.

This hasn't happened in 17 years...
