The Ride of My Life (an Ansel Elgort story)

Chapter 19

Lucy's POV

"Dad!" I jump up into my dads arms and squeeze as tight as I can. I haven't seen my dad in about a month, and even though that's not a very long time, I still missed him more than anyone could imagine.

"Sweetie, I've missed you so much." He says.

"I'm so glad you're home!" We sit down on my bed and I bring him up to date on what's been happening here. My dad and I are a lot closer than my mom and I. I feel like I can tell him anything.

"I was going to wait to tell you this, but as of last night, I have a new boyfriend." I say.

"Really? Who?"

"His name is Ansel. He is one of the sweetest people I've ever met. Don't worry. You'll get to meet him tomorrow. He's coming to dinner." I say.

"That's wonderful! I'm so happy for you, sweetheart. I can't wait to meet him." He says, with a heartwarming smile.

Ansel's POV

I'm playing Call of Duty with my friends when suddenly my phone rings. Normally I'd ignore it while playing, but since it says Lucy's name on the screen, I pause the game.

"DUDE!" My friend, Robbie, yells.

"C'mon, man!" Kyle says.

"Sorry guys, I have to take this." I can tell they're pissed but it's just a game. They recover quickly, taking the game off pause and proceeding to play without me.

"Hey, Lucy. What's up?" I say, walking into the other room for some privacy.

"Is this Ansel?" says a manly voice. I'm confused.

"Uhhh, yeah. Who's this?"

"I'm sorry, this is Lucy's dad. She's sleeping and I needed to get ahold of you, so I had to use her phone." He says.

"Well it's nice to talk to you, sir, but may I ask why you needed to talk to me? I promise I'm treating her right."

He chuckles. "I'm sure you are. That's not what it's about. You see, I need your help with something... A... Surprise, if you will."

{duh duh duhhhhhhhh! What will the surprise beeeeee? Ahhhhh}
