Kelvin POV:

The next morning I wake up to music. I slept with my door open last night. I decide to take a shower and get dressed for the day. I notice Monique door is cracked so I lightly knock on it an she opens it more an Oh my gosh she was beautiful as ever.
Monique: hey. Good morning. Did I wake you up?
Me: no it's good. How did you sleep?
Monique: I slept like a queen. This bed is so soft.
Me: well that is good, how about some breakfast I think I smell food.
It didn't take long before Monique grabbed my hand an took off downstairs. She stopped when she got down the steps. Her eyes showed the amazement of the newly hung Christmas decorations. My dad must had the help come in early this morning or late last night. My dad out did himself this year. Normally it's just me an my dad an sometimes my aunt, uncle and cousins join us but this year they are visiting my cousin an her family since they got married last year. Well anyway I'm pulled by my arm towards the kitchen. In the kitchen is Ms Union an Mr Wythe.
Gab: hey kids. You hungry?
Monique: do I love huskies
Gab: well it was mostly meant for Kelvin over there.
Mr Wythe: hey princess. Here is your plate. Hey Kelvin can I talk to you for a minute.
I looked at Monique but she was focused on the plate in front of her. I followed behind Mr Wythe an we went an sat out on the deck.

*Mr Wythe *
I have been home for a few days an I have come to notice how Kelvin has been looking at my daughter. So I wanted to pull him to the side an see what he feels.
Me: so how are things Kelvin?
Kelvin: I'm good sir. Not to be rude but could you tell me why you wanted to speak to me.
Me: I like you Kelvin. But yea let's get straight to the point. I see how you look at my daughter. Answer me do you like my daughter?
Kelvin: um... She a great friend. She is smart an beautiful.
Me: but do you see her as anything else? I was young Kelvin. Trust me I looked at Monique mom the same way when she was alive. I now look at Gabrielle with the same love an affection. I believe you have a crush on my daughter.
Kelvin: I don't want to ruin the relationship she an I have. But yes sir I do have a crush on Monique.
Me: All I ask of you is not to break her heart. She is my princess an I believe nobody should treat her any less than that.
Kelvin: I understand. I don't think she see me in that way.
Kelvin an I talk a little more and then head back into the kitchen. When we come back in everyone is eating. So I grab a plate an sit beside Gabrielle while Kelvin takes the sit next to Lewis.
After dinner I take Gabrielle out to the lake, while Ben went to get some other stuff.

*Kelvin POV *
I was a nervous as heck when Mr Wythe asked to speak to me alone. The conversation wasn't so bad. The last thing he told me was to never be the reason she cry. He gave me his blessing to ask her on a date. I needed one more person permission so after breakfast I was going to ask Michael for his permission.
After breakfast Mr Wythe an Gabrielle went to the lake an my dad went to reup on groceries. Michael an Lewis were setting up to play Halo. Monique was sitting on the couch beside Michael. It was now or never. I walk over to Michael an ask him to come with me to the deck.

*Michael*
I was standing outside with Kelvin. It had to be important cause normally he would just blurt out what he wanted to say.
Kelvin: so earlier this morning I spoke with Mr Wythe an he gave me permission to ask Monique out on a date.
Me: That is good right.
Kelvin: Yea. But just as good as it is to have his approval I really want your permission. I mean she is your best friend an I know your opinion matters to her. You know I like her
Me: Go ahead. You have my permission. Just know if you hurt her I will forget me an you are friends.
After that Kelvin went back in the house. I stayed outside to collect my thoughts. For some reason him asking her out really bothered me. I can't really have more than friendly feelings for Nique...can I?
