Amora's P.O.V.

I sprayed air freshner in my room and straighten up my curtains and sprayed more.
"Ok, the sheets are in the washer. And the blankets are in the dryer." Jack said, in the doorway, "Need any help?"
He walked over to me
"I think we are good." I sighed and smiled.
He wrapped his arms around my waist. I jumped a little and little out a little and soft, "Ouch.."
He looked concerned at me, "Are you ok..?"
He lifted my shirt a little, there were little marks from his hands. He frowned, "Princess, I'm sorry.."
He went to brush it but I held his hands.
"I'm not." I smiled, "Jack..last night....was one of my best nights, ever."
Jack smiled.
"Let me see you." I said. He lifted his shirt, "Not there dummy!" I laughed.
I had him turn around I lifted up his shirt to see his bare back covered in light red scratch marks.
I pulled him to the mirror and had him look, "See?"
He chuckled and turned to me and kissed me.
I rubbed his back. I felt bad about it now, "Oh, I see that's how it feels.."
He nodded, "But, it's ok, because I count them as love scares. They make me feel alive."
Alive.
"You, make me feel alive." I blurted. I quickly covered my mouth and blushed as he chuckled.
"You are so perfect." He cupped his hands around my face and kissed my cheek.
The front door opened.
"Amora!! Dad's home!"
I looked at Jack in a pure WTF DO WE DO.
"Calm down." Jack whispered as he made hisnway to the window, "I'll text you when I get home."
I nodded and he climbed out.
"Hey sweetie!" Dad hugged me, "They let me have Valentine's Day off!"
"That's amazing!" I smiled.
"We should go see a movie or something!" He said happily.
"Dad, why don't I invite my boyfriend?" I asked praying he wouldn't freak out.
"B-boyfriend?"
"Dad, do you know Jack Avery?" I asked.
"N-no?"
"Dad, he's not like Paul. He's kind, he cares, he loves me, for real." I said.
"Ora..I don't know.." Dad looked down.
"Dad..please...please give him a chance." I begged.
"I don't know Ora because the last I let you have someone they ended up hurting you multiple times mentally and physically."
"Dad please, trust me, look I'll text him and then you can meet him!" I said taking out my phone.
"Ora-"
"Dad, please, give him a chance, I truly love him."
He took a deep breath, "Ok, Ok, fine."
I gave him a big smile.

I put away my phone and Dad went to his room. I pulled a small purse out of my desk drawer and put a few girl things in there and waited for my dad to get ready.
I heard a knock on the door.
I ran down and Dad already opened it.
"Hello, I am Jack Avery." I heard a gentle and kind voice from the door and saw curly noodles from over my dad's shoulders. I ran down and hugged him, "Jack!"
"Princess!" He smiled and hugged me back.
"Dad, this is--"
"Jack." My dad said holding out his hand, "it's a pleasure to meet you."
I could see Jack tighten his jaw as he shook his hand.
"Soooo, we are going to see a movie!" I said breaking the tension, "we are gonna see Everything Everything!"
"That's still in the theaters?" My dad joked.
Jack snickered as I hit Dad's arm.
We walked to the car.
"Do you want me to drive?" Jack asked my dad, "Because I'm cool if you want to spend time with your amazing daughter, she tells me you don't get to see her often."
Dad's face lit up, impressed, "Why y-yes! That'd be amazing!" He gave Jack the car keys and Jack got in the drivers seat while Dad and I got in the back seat.
We talked and got caught up on our lives.
