" My Baby is here," He said, tightening his warm embrace. His familiar smell making me feel at home.

I chuckled at his words,
" Pa! I'm no longer a baby." I told him as I moved away from his chest, placing a kiss on his cheek.

" Nah uh, you'll always be my little Alice." My grandpa said using my middle name. He held me in a side embrace and walked the two of us to the sitting room.

" So tell me, my dear Alice, what did my fucker of son do this time ?" Pa said as he sat on a sofa, pulling a cigar out of his pocket.

I raised an eyebrow,
"how do you know father done something?" I asked amused.
The old man predicts correctly all the time.

"I know my fucker of a son too well," Pa said, moving his head to the side and blowing some air out,

" and for what other reason would my granddaughter ever come to meet her old, dying Pa." Grandpa said, placing a hand on his chest, acting his usual dramatic self.

" Pa, stop acting like you don't know How busy I am," I told him, making myself more comfortable against the seat. I hadn't come to visit him in about 6 months , a lot of time I know, but I was occupied.

" Yeah busy working in that fuckers business." Pa scoffed, " I've told you a billion times leave the bastard to himself, that's when he'll learn a lesson."

I gave him an incredulous look, shaking my head
" You're calling him a bastard,".

" Yeah when hasn't he been one?" Pa asked sarcastically and I mentally face palmed.

My grandpa lived the life of swearing. Almost every sentence of his, had to have a swear.
And, also he held grudges forever, if he hated you, he'll hate you for forever.

" What were you doing up so late?" I asked changing the topic. I didn't want to continue talking about my father and spoil my mood further.

" Nah uh smart lady," Pa said, shaking his head,
" you're not gonna get away this time. Tell me what's been happening in your life? I heard you got fucking married?" Pa looked at me with accusing eyes.

I cleared my throat before answering, this was going to be difficult to explain,
"Yeah, Father arranged the marriage,"

" ... and you fucking agreed!" Pa said, looking at me like I stole his favourite cookie. His eyes widened his mouth furrowed and his nose scrunched in anger.

" For the business, I had to Pa," I told him bring my legs higher on the sofa. He kept staring at me without blinking making me fidget.

" You fucking got married to a Larsen for the business. Why would you go for the leeches?" Pa asked angrily.

" Adam is not like that," I told Pa defending Adam. Definitely he oozes that vibe but personally he was a great guy.
Oh really Sophie

" Adam!What the fuck! Wasn't it just a business deal!"
Pa said looking at me with narrowed eyes,
" For fucks sake Alice, don't you dare get all fucking crazy over him like your sister, I won't be able to deal with that shit then." Pat said semi-shouting and I flinched.

See exactly why Pa was my favourite. He was the only sane one in my family and the only man who I could relate and confess to.

" No pa, I've seen enough mistakes to know better," I gave him a small smile and when he realised what I was talking about his eyes watered. I gave him a gentle comforting smile and he turned his head away.
